Chapter 373 Results
In the current war committee, Roland can be said to have crushed everyone in terms of his knowledge of the ancient dwarven language. Only Roland still masters the complete ancient dwarven language.
However, although most of the dwarves on the War Council have forgotten the ancient dwarven language, there are still several dwarf clans in this world that have passed down the ancient dwarven language.
According to Roland's memory, there are now several clans of Frost Dwarves living in the uninhabited area in the far north of the Dragon's Back Mountains. Due to their remote location, these Frost Dwarves have remained isolated for many years. Unlike the dwarves of Donnar, they do not maintain contact with the Donnar people. Therefore, the language system of the Frost Dwarves has not changed much and is still the ancient dwarven language.
In fact, the ancient dwarven language that Roland now knows was dug out from the Frost Dwarf ruins.
When he was playing professionally, after learning that a club had sent an exploration team to dig out special frost spells from the frost dwarf ruins, Roland's club naturally sent people to dig, and also spent money to purchase related knowledge and skill books.
As the first spellcaster in the club, Roland naturally received the relevant knowledge and skill books sent by the club.
Frost magic is a special spell that has evolved from the orthodox rune magic of the clan countries over a long period of time by the Frost Dwarves. It does not belong to the scope of traditional human magic, but rather to the rune magic system.
Therefore, if you want to learn frost spells, you need to learn the corresponding ancient dwarven language.
It is precisely because of this prerequisite that Roland was able to master the ancient dwarven language. Otherwise, why would Roland learn this minor language?
In addition, the Frost Dwarves are currently the only dwarves who can apply the heritage of the clan kingdoms on a large scale. The heritage in their far northern region has basically been dug out by them and applied in all aspects of life.
With the application of a large amount of heritage, the Frost Dwarf can be said to be one of the most powerful dwarves at present.
In fact, if the Frost Dwarves had not stayed in the Far North for unknown reasons and never went out until their demise, they would have been able to defeat the weaklings in the Dragonspine Mountains, conquer other dwarves, and even rebuild the kingdom of the clans.
Although the extreme northern area of the Dragon's Back Mountains is not connected to other places in the Dragon's Back Mountains, with a section of uninhabited frozen land in between, making it inconvenient to go out and explore, this is definitely not a problem that restricts the Frost Dwarves from going out.
As for why they didn't go out, Roland had no idea.
After all, when the Frost Dwarves appeared in the player's field of vision, all of their race were dead and done for.
According to memory, the future disaster in the North, the cold disaster that swept across the entire North and brought endless cold and disaster, was caused by the Frost Dwarves. They made a mistake in using the heritage of the Kingdom of Clans, which led to the outbreak of the cold disaster.
At the same time as the North was destroyed, the Frost Dwarves, as the center of the cold disaster, were the first to be hit, and all the people in the tribe were frozen to death.
Cold disaster, maybe we need to make some preparations in advance.
As Roland was thinking, he also looked at the control center unfolding in front of him.
Most of the extraordinary knowledge of the clan countries is based on runes. Relying on the combination and arrangement of runes, runes can produce various effects. Among them, the most famous is their rune-driven technology.
Rune craftsmen cast runes into inanimate objects and use them to drive matter. In addition to the spherical puppets that Roland was seeing, which were rune puppets made by rune craftsmen, this entire library building was also a large rune puppet.
The place where these rune puppets record runes is the control center.
Roland looked at the densely packed control centers in front of him, reading ten lines at a glance, and quickly understood the complex rune structure of this library.
After recording all the rune structures, Roland did not rashly make any changes directly. He hid the control center panel again. Then, Roland looked at the spherical puppet next to him and asked.
“What does the estate plan leave here besides books?”
“Checking.”
The spherical puppet turned and then made a sound.
"Dear heir, in the lounge on the third floor, there are three authority tokens, a silver forge, a volcanic furnace, and a high-level identity authentication. Shall we send them to you?"
Roland was a little surprised. He didn't expect that there were other things in the library, and they were such heavyweight items. He nodded and said.
"Send it over."
"The order has been confirmed and is being issued. Please wait."
The spherical puppet flashed and made a sound.
The Silver Forge is one of the great legacies left in the Dragon Ridge Mountains by the Clans. It is located at the bottom of the Silver Gate. Roland originally planned to wait until the Silver Gate cleared the underground passage and then go over to see if he could crack it.
It seems that it is no longer necessary now. With the permission token, there is no need to brute force it.
Although the Volcanic Furnace is also one of the great legacies, this furnace is located in the Scarlet Furnace in the Dwarf Territory and cannot be opened by the Committee now.
The value of the last advanced identity authentication is even higher. With this advanced identity authentication token, most of the heritage of the clan countries can be unlocked and inherited directly through the token.
Not long after Roland spoke, the other spherical puppets flying on the third floor in the sky flew down from above. Metal arms extended from the bottom of the spherical puppets, holding three tokens and flying in front of Roland.
Roland stretched out his hand and caught the three tokens. After Roland took the three tokens, the spherical puppet released its metal arm, rose into the air again, and returned to its original job.
Roland looked at the three ownerless tokens in his hand and without any hesitation, he left his mark on them, completing the recognition of the owner.
When Roland finished recognizing his master, he also discovered the special features of these three tokens.
Although the recognition of the master was completed, the three tokens were not completely locked. Once Roland died, the marks on them would be automatically erased. At the same time, if the tokens were obtained by other people, they could slowly grind off Roland's mark and leave their own mark.
To put it simply, these three tokens belong to the bus. As long as you can get them in your hands and spend some time, you can use them yourself.
Although Roland has the means to privatize the bus and completely change the token to his own appearance, Roland believes that there is no need for this, as buses have their own advantages.
If it is privatized, Roland will have to go there in person when he needs it in the future.
But if it is public, it won’t be that troublesome, you just need to send the token over.
Roland put away the three tokens and continued to ask the spherical puppet in front of him.
“Is there a place for other estates in the estate plan?”
"none."
The spherical puppet explained.
"According to the estate planning information, in order to increase the success rate of estate planning, estates are built independently. In addition, due to time issues, estate plans are not closely related to each other."
Roland nodded, looked at Hela and the explorer behind him, and pointed at the two of them.
"Give them both free access and reading privileges."
"Registering." Two spherical puppets on the first floor flew in front of the two people, scanning their information. At the same time, they extended a small protruding piece of metal.
Looking at the spherical puppet in front of them, Hela and the explorer were a little at a loss, and they all looked at Roland.
Roland switched to the common language of mankind and spoke.
“Leave your mark on it.”
After hearing Roland's words, out of trust in him, the two men did not ask what it was and directly left their marks on the metal block.
"Registration completed, authorization granted."
The spherical puppet said emotionlessly.
After completing the registration, Roland also cast a spell on the two of them.
Fourth-ring divination spell—text decryption.
This is a spell that allows them to directly understand the ancient dwarven language. Under the effect of the text decryption spell, although they cannot understand the ancient dwarven language, they can understand the meaning of the ancient dwarven language.
However, since this spell is achieved by using the traces left by the author when he wrote the text, it is only effective for handwritten text. After the invention of printing technology, it will have no effect on the emotionless text printed out by cold machines.
In fact, Roland also possessed spells that could make people understand other languages, but these spells also had their limitations and had little effect on puppets.
Spells like the commonly used telepathy, which directly read the opponent's mind, have little effect on this kind of rune puppet.
After casting a spell on the two of them, Roland also spoke.
"We will stay here for a few days. I have given you a spell that will allow you to understand text. If you are bored, you can read these books."
"Yes."
The dwarf explorer stood up and responded. He had been very curious since he came in, and he immediately ran to the nearest bookshelf and looked up at the books on the bookshelf.
Although he couldn't understand the titles of the books on the bookshelf, he could understand their meanings. After scanning them several times, he chose a popular science book that seemed to introduce the creatures in the Longji Mountains.
At the side, Hela nodded and casually found a book on runes to read.
After the two of them found a book to read, Roland looked at the spherical puppet again and gave an order.
"You have a map of the Dragon's Back Mountains, right? Bring me the most complete, accurate and detailed version of the map."
“Searching.”
The spherical puppet flashed and spoke.
"Do you need the No. 81 topographic map of the West Dragon Ridge Mountains?"
"Take it and take a look."
Roland said calmly.
After Roland finished speaking, the spherical puppet quickly gave orders, and soon, a spherical puppet fell from above with a map.
This is not just a map, but a whole volume of maps consisting of a general map and dozens of small maps.
Roland took the map from it, but did not open it. Instead, he directly extended his perception. After scanning it with his perception to confirm that it was what he needed, Roland nodded slightly and said.
"That's it."
This map marks the Western Dragon Ridge Mountains in great detail, with all the Dragon Ridge passages, Dragon Ridge caves, and dwarf territories marked out.
Although this is a map from the period of the Kingdom of Clans, so many years have passed and the internal situation of the Dragon Back Mountains has changed a lot. Some Dragon Back Passages and Dragon Back Caves have collapsed, but it still has a high reference value.
No matter what, it is better than the committee having no reference at all, and at least this map marks all the dwarf territories.
However, this map still needs Roland to translate. After all, the text on it is in the ancient dwarven language. If it is not translated, no one except Roland can understand it.
Of course, in addition to translation, Roland can also use spells to solve this problem, but Roland can't solidify spells for each of them, he doesn't have that much time.
It is more convenient to translate it and then have someone make several copies.
After getting the map, Roland went directly to the lounge area in the hall and placed the entire map on the table. Hela also sat next to Roland with the book.
As for the explorer, he was tactful enough not to come over, but chose an empty table nearby.
After putting down the map, Roland did not immediately start translating. Instead, he took out a communication device and began to give orders to the committee.
Although this treasure house did not produce any gold, silver, or jewelry, nor any extraordinary materials, it only had this large library. However, this library, which recorded countless knowledge from the various clan countries, was still of extremely high value.
In particular, the library also contains a complete set of supernatural power systems based on runes from the clan countries. Although it may be a little behind the times, it is still usable, and at least can complete the rune supernatural system within the committee.
Even if it is not necessarily easy to use, it still has a high value for learning and reference.
Therefore, this library needs to have people stationed there for defense, and a large number of people are also needed to translate and interpret the contents of these books.
Therefore, Roland began to mobilize the committee members through the communication device.
First, in terms of defense, Roland mobilized some goblin mechanical troops from the nearby gem land and foundry caves and ordered them to come here to be responsible for the security of the library.
Secondly, Roland checked the official education lists in the two dwarven territories of Silver Gate and Gem Land, and sent invitations to these outstanding students on a voluntary basis, inviting them to come and learn the ancient dwarven language and be responsible for translation work.
Finally, Roland issued an administrative order to transfer an official from the Silver Gate and the Gem Land respectively. Roland planned to let the two of them be responsible for the management of the library.
The committee is still understaffed. The committee’s various major projects and reconstruction and expansion work have almost completely absorbed the committee’s labor force, leaving no spare staff to be mobilized.
As a result, Roland could only send a few people here. The army and officials were all squeezed out, and even students had to be hired as translators.
After giving the order, Roland put the communication device aside, then unfolded a map, took out a blank paper from the space bracelet, and began to translate and copy the map.
