School of Scholars Library, Akkad Alchemy College
Various things had all been restored and were being kept in the library. This included docunts and records of historical changes within the kingdoms, principalities, and dynasties, as well as legends and myths. There were also ancient family histories, ancient mythological poems, and nurous literary works among the shelves.
By studying the history of each era and familiarizing themselves with the legends of each family, the scholars here could then beco highly respected teachers of noble families after graduation, or they could attain so other good job in the Sean City-State Alliance.
Akkad Alchemy College had been established for nearly 100 years by now. Since its beginning, it had expanded to more than 10 tis its original size.
Starting out as only a castle, which now acted as its main body, the college had since added a large academic base. Now, it was like a small city.
The School of Scholars taught many different subjects, and daily, a large number of students, each wearing a scholar’s robe, could be seen here. At the mont, Jonathan was leading a tutor to the library, where they would be searching for so information.
“These words that you’re asking about are too old!” the old tutor nad David said to Jonathan.
Jonathan nodded, then replied, “That’s why I had to co and ask you for help. You’re the most knowledgeable scholar in this field. If you can’t decipher them, surely no one could know what they an.”
David shook his head. “These are probably not even actual words. I think they are more like symbols. In fact, they look very similar to the witchcraft tactical deploynt circle.”
Jonathan thought for a mont, trying to process what David had just said.
David looked at Jonathan, then said, “Maybe this is what an ancient civilization used in the past! I actually rember that I saw a rubbing copy that had a similar pattern on it. Where did I put it?”
David then took a book from the bottom of a bookshelf. The book held within it various records of words. Then, he put on his glasses and compared the pattern that Jonathan had brought with a pattern in the book.
“It’s almost identical! Look at this!” David said as he pointed to a pattern in the book.
He then explained to Jonathan that what he was holding was a rubbing copy that depicted the historical changes in the orc species. As Jonathan looked at it, he saw that it was very similar to one of the symbols on the 17 wheels.
Jonathan imdiately beca very excited and said, “That’s it! What is this?”
David frowned as he looked at Jonathan. “What you’ve shown is obviously only a small portion of sothing. What does the whole thing look like? Whatever it is appears to be related to ancient tis! This is a copy of an inscription from a stone tablet that was found at the rat n’s ruins, but we have no idea what it ans. This is because it is from almost two thousand years ago, when human beings were probably monkeys in the jungle!”
David was very surprised by this new developnt. At first, he just thought that Jonathan had found so strange, old symbols. But now, it seed that Jonathan’s findings were related to so pre-civilization era.
This was clearly a legacy of the barbaric era. David was so surprised by this because he used to believe that there were no words at that ti!
Jonathan, on the other hand, was not surprised at all. David’s statent made him even more convinced that what was on the rubbing copy was the very clue that he had been wanting to find!
“I saw it from so other place, not from the rubbing copy. I just morized it at that ti, but as my mory is not good, I only rembered a part of it. But David, this is very important to , so you must help !” Jonathan pleaded.
David also felt excited, as he was very curious about all ancient secrets. After all, scholars, just like wizards, were keenly interested in exploring the unknown.
“Orcs were the first race to have a real civilization. The early Saga City was first ruled by 12 generations of orc kings in a row. The first race that united all of the orcs were the rat n. It is said that the rat n were the oldest race in the world. Although they are now the weakest race, and are currently even rare among the orcs, they were the very first to build a true civilization, invent words, and create city-states,” David explained.
After hearing David’s words, Jonathan nodded. His eyes shone as he exclaid, “So, it’s very possible that they have records that can even be traced back to the barbaric era!”
Jonathan then grabbed David’s shoulder and asked, “Where is the stone tablet?”
David thought for a mont, then said, “You have to ask the team that went to the Orc Kingdom for a geography expedition!”
Jonathan imdiately got out of his seat, rolled up the paper that had the symbols on it, then said to David, “I’ll do one better... I’m going to the Orc Kingdom myself! David, thank you!”
David’s eyes lit up as he said, “Jonathan, I think I can help! Let go with you.”
Jonathan hesitated for a mont before he shook his head. “I’m sorry, David, but as this is probably a very dangerous thing, I don’t want to involve you in it!”
——————
Jonathan kissed his wife goodbye in the morning before he boarded the ship that was headed to the Orc Kingdom. At the sa ti, the second and third batches of fleets that had gone to Yala were returning.
Although most of the fleets had been lost at sea due to the battle with the Children of the Sea and sea monsters, there were always people who could afford to hire new crews, mainly consisting of a large number of priests and alchemists. They then equipped themselves with a large number of alchemy cannons and steamships and had thus made their ways back safely.
The connection between human beings and the elf world was thus built. The goods of the human beings had gradually flowed into the Yala Continent, while various specialties of the elf world had also co into the human world.
The existence of the Sylve Empire had also beco a hot topic among human beings. Everyone knew that, in the far Eastern world, there was a land that belonged to the elves, was well as a powerful empire and a civilized world that was beyond the human imagination.
In addition, another piece of information was being spread throughout the human world. The tribe that was called the Moonlight Elves was gradually becoming known.
Unlike the Sylve Empire, this elf tribe refused to connect with the outside world. Thus, the only reason why they were known to the outside world was because they had touched the realm of the gods.
