Chapter 147 Meet the Players

  【You have learned knowledge: ancient troll language. 】

  Scholar's Tower of Storm's End, the evening sun is fading in through the tall arched long windows.

  The sunlight illuminated the dust in the air, and also reflected the colors of the paintings on the window glass on the long table full of historical materials.

  Enduring a burst of pain comparable to cerebral congestion, Li Feng sat in the middle of the long table on the first floor of the scholar's tower without changing his face.

  In his hand, he held stacks of ancient historical materials that were yellowed and frayed at the edges.

   On both sides of him, there are the Spellweaver mentors of the Violet Eye sitting in turn.

  At this moment, they were looking at Li Feng expectantly.

  As the middle and senior management of Violet Eye, the mentor Alton is sitting next to Li Feng.

  Seeing Li Feng looking down at the historical materials and not speaking, he felt extremely anxious.

  The lost place known as the Theater of Sorrows appeared last night.

   Alton thought that with his fourth-level law weaver and many high-level colleagues, it would be easy to investigate a tower in depth.

  But who ever thought, let alone in-depth investigation, last night, they exhausted all their strength, and they didn't even pry the door of the tower.

   But that's not what worries him the most.

  After all, even if he is not as skilled as others, as the powerful Violet Eye, he will definitely be able to send other spell weavers to solve it.

   It's a big deal, it's not impossible to ask the chief who is a step away from the demigod to come out of the mountain.

  But who would have thought, just when Alton felt that there was still a way out, the lights on the first floor of the Theater of Sorrows suddenly turned on.

  After guessing by his apprentices, and the few ancient troll languages ​​he recognized, Alton was on the historical materials sent to him by the floating island.

  If you find that the Theater of Sorrows lights up, it means that someone has entered.

  While this conclusion is likely to be wrong, if true...

  Alton felt startled.

   Don't say who that powerful being is, just talk about the inside of their Violet Eye.

  For the Theater of Sorrow, Violet Eye has already paid a lot of price, but in the end, if someone gets ahead of them.

   Not to mention that the Eye of Violet will become a laughing stock in the endless sea, even they themselves will be useless to death.

  So immediately, Alton sent a letter to Floating Island, informing the Violet Council and the chief of the situation.

   As expected, the parliament was arguing.

   But after all, this is a big matter. In the end, the chief replied to him, saying that he would send someone to solve it immediately.

   It's just that, in the vast sea, it takes time for anyone to come.

  If it was during this period of time, the person who seemed to have entered the theater directly passed all seven floors of the theater.

   This is very exciting.

  So, Alton, who was almost standing on the hot pot, could only temporarily pin his hopes on those historical materials written in the ancient troll language.

  Although the trolls are savage and primitive, they are unmatched by any other race in recording the secrets of the endless sea.

   It's just that the ancient troll language cannot be mastered by other races casually.

  In order to calm down his anxiety, Alton took a deep breath.

  He looked at the young man sitting beside him, who was still holding the historical materials, without saying a word.

  Alton was a little uncertain about Li Feng.

   At first, he heard from the apprentice who managed the library that someone in Storm's End had a lot of research on trolls.

  Thinking that person must be an old scholar who is several decades older than himself.

  But when he asked about the other party's age, Lin, he found out that he was a young man in his twenties.

   This made Alton lose confidence immediately.

   After all, in common sense, anyone who has a deep research on trolls will have to spend a long time.

   In his twenties, this young man is almost impossible.

  I wanted to laugh it off, but the middle-aged Alton is no longer a child who only acts on his feelings.

   But the fearless waste of time is not worth it.

  So, before Alton went to invite Li Feng, he asked his apprentices to inquire about Li Feng in Storm's End and the Scholar's Tower.

  If the young man is unreliable in the rumors, then this matter is just a joke.

   But who would have thought that from the information obtained by the apprentices, Li Feng's character is excellent, and his experience is quite legendary.

  He has faced demons head-on, and he has given the kingdom its own title.

  Even the scheming Governor of Storm Island used half of the books in the Scholar's Tower to win him over.

   It seems that he also intends to marry his daughter to him.

  Getting these news made Alton become interested in Li Feng.

  No one will make a loss-making business. Since those big figures with status are willing to win him over, then presumably, this young man must have something special.

   And it just so happens that this young man is interested in trolls, as well as research, maybe he really dabbles in the ancient troll language.

   "Mr. Rhine, look..."

  Thoughts were going back and forth in my mind, but in fact it was only for a moment. Seeing Li Feng calmly flipping through the historical materials, Alton couldn't help asking.

   Li Feng heard that he looked at Alton. Regarding the ancient troll language, he really didn't know it two or three seconds ago.

  But for Li Feng, learning a language takes only two or three seconds.

   "I can really understand a thing or two."

   Li Feng looked at the middle-aged, tall, thin and bald Alton, nodded slightly, and replied.

  His voice was very soft, but in the scholar's tower where needles could be heard, it was like thunder to the expectant law-weavers.

  It’s like being in a shipwreck. A person floating on the boundless sea suddenly hears the sound of a ship’s whistle coming from afar.

  Finally met a turning point and saw hope.

   "By God Weaver, this is so good, so good."

  Hearing that Li Feng could understand the ancient troll language in the historical materials, Alton and the other spellweaver mentors were overjoyed.

  The cloud that shrouded the Violet Eye Mission has finally dissipated.

  Alton was eager to translate the historical materials, but he was afraid that Li Feng would not want to help.

  So, he first said some compliments to Li Feng, but found that Li Feng was easy-going, and he didn't mean to be proud of his talent at all.

  Alton was even more surprised and delighted at the moment, and he no longer cared about other things, so he started to ask Li Feng for advice on those places that he always felt ambiguous.

  The other weaver mentors helped sort out the yellowed paper and took notes with pens.

  For a moment, the hall on the first floor of the scholar tower was filled with the sound of flipping papers and whispers of discussing knowledge.

  Looking at everything in front of him, Qi Heng, who was standing in the back row as a service staff, also breathed a sigh of relief.

  He is not only the Violet Eye, but also the official of the player world.

   Waiting for this comeback, the official database will be filled with a batch of important information again.

  ‘But this Rhine, at such a young age, how can he know the ancient troll language? '

   While Qi Heng heaved a sigh of relief, he was also guessing and curious in his heart.

  As curious as Qi Heng, there is Xi Ya.

  When Alton found Li Feng just now, Xia, who had turned into a cat, was lying on Li Feng's arm.

  Because she wanted to see Li Feng's good luck, Xi Ya also went to the Scholar's Tower.

  At this moment, she looked at Li Feng, and the historical materials from the floating island seemed to be really related to the Theater of Sorrow.

  Xia was curious, so relying on her cat shape, she jumped up from the end of the long table, wanting to see those historical materials with her own eyes.

  But who would have thought that just as she jumped onto the table, she only glanced at the old and yellowed pages, and felt that her eyes were dark and the top of her head hurt.

   Immediately afterwards, he fell back to the ground.

  ‘Who hit me? '

  Xia immediately got up and looked up, and found that she was just photographed by a bald old man with a note-taking notebook.

  Shea looked at the embroidered robe on his body and knew that he, like Alton, was the mentor of the Violet Eye's spellweaver.

  Glaring at him bitterly, Shia planned to go up from the other side of the table.

  But who would have thought that the bald old man kicked again, and this time Xia managed to dodge it, but she didn't realize it until she landed.

  At this moment, not only the old man, but also the apprentices from Violet Eye and the apprentices in charge of the library came to chase her away.

  Xia was angry and dodged left and right.

  ‘Cats don’t have the right to read books! ? '

  Indeed, in the eyes of these people, the black cat is here to make trouble.

   "Where did the wild cat come from, drive it away quickly."

  The bald old man sitting at the end of the long table gave instructions to his apprentice.

  The apprentice heard this, and chased the cat even harder.

  When Xiya heard this, she became even more angry, and she cursed:

  ‘The Lost Land was obviously discovered by my mother first, and the historical materials of those trolls obviously belong to our family. You humans, you don’t want me to see it! '

   Indeed, since ancient times, the trolls have been protected by the dragon, and the trolls also respect the black dragon queen as their queen.

  Thinking of this, and comparing it to the current situation, Xi Ya felt that the general situation was over and people's hearts were no longer old.

   But equally, these feelings made her extremely unwilling.

   When there were pursuers, she used the cat's small and flexible figure to dodge.

   Soon ran from the end of the long table to the middle of the long table, and a person appeared in her vision.

  Li Feng was sitting at the center of the long table at the moment, looking at the historical materials in his hands with Alton.

  From Shia's perspective, the younger Li Feng was sitting there upright.

   It was the elder Alton, who leaned forward because of his thirst for knowledge, and carefully asked Li Feng questions.

   As soon as Shia glanced at this scene, she realized that the pursuers had arrived behind them, and they were still holding goose dusters to clean the dust from the bookshelves.

  Sia is a cat now, she must not be able to use extraordinary spells.

   And those apprentices will not be serious with a cat and use extraordinary abilities.

  But there are still only two paths in front of Shia.

   Either surrender, be driven out of the Bachelor's Tower, and give up.

  Either.

  Xia glanced at Li Feng. He and Alton were concentrating on talking at the moment, and had no idea what happened behind them.

  The chair Li Feng was sitting on was a little away from the long table.

  From Shia's perspective, he could just see his well-pressed formal coat and trousers, as well as the vest that was exposed because the shirt was not buttoned.

  Xia thought of something, so she jumped onto Li Feng's lap.

  Here, Li Feng is checking the history of the Theater of Sorrows recorded in historical materials, and translating some for Alton as appropriate.

  But suddenly, I found that there was an extra cat on my body.

  Looking down, it was actually Shia.

   Li Feng was stunned for a moment, while Xi Ya was looking at him with the cat's head up, as if she wanted to say something.

  Xia really wanted to explain something through the contract, but at the moment she was sitting on Li Feng's lap, feeling very embarrassed.

  Suddenly he couldn't say anything, so he simply didn't say anything, turned around and put his head on the long table, pretending to be dead and looking at the historical materials.

   At the same time, as embarrassing as Shia was, there were also the apprentices chasing her, and the bald old man who hit Shia just now.

   "Uh, this, I don't know that this is Mr. Rhine's cat, this, please forgive me."

  The bald old man sitting at the end of the long table hurriedly stood up, and nodded in embarrassment in apology.

   And those apprentices were even more at a loss at the moment.

   Seeing this situation, Li Feng finally understood what happened just now, and felt funny in his heart.

  Looking at the cat in her arms who put its head on the table and pretended to be dead, she dared to use me as a shield.

   "It's okay, the kitten is not sensible, I should ask everyone to forgive me."

   Li Feng said with a smile, resolving the embarrassing situation at the moment.

  After hearing what he said, everyone was naturally relieved and felt very comfortable.

   But Alton, who also understood what happened just now, was very dissatisfied with his people for doing such a mindless thing.

   Immediately, he looked at several people with stern and reprimanding eyes.

  The previous episode has passed, and Alton hastily asked the question that was interrupted just now.

   "Mr. Rhine, what do you mean, at midnight tonight, the door on the first floor of the Theater of Sorrows is open?"

  Xia, who was still sitting on Li Feng's lap, was shocked when she heard the same words.

  ‘Anyone can go in tonight? '

  Sia only knows the troll language, and as for the ancient troll language, she only knows a few sporadic ones.

   Naturally, she couldn't understand the historical materials, so at this moment, she also quietly listened to Li Feng's answer.

   "This historical material does indeed say so."

  Li Feng pointed to the weird writing on a piece of yellowed paper, and continued:

  "Here, the Sad Theater was a theater for people to watch a play a long, long time ago, before it sank to the bottom of the sea.

  But in the theater industry at that time, special performances and public performances prevailed.

  Special performances usually precede public performances, and it is performed only by invitation.

  As for public performances, the door is open and anyone can enter. "

   Alton nodded while listening to Li Feng's words and looking at the passage in the historical materials.

  He also recognized a few characters in the ancient troll language sporadically, and what Li Fenggang said did not conflict with the characters he knew.

   "If this is the case, does it mean that the first floor of the Theater of Sorrows with lights on has already performed... that special performance?

   Or, it means that someone has already been invited and entered? "

  Alton asked the question he was most concerned about.

  When Li Feng heard the words, he showed a hesitant expression without any trace.

  Actually, Alton's guess is correct, and it is recorded in the historical materials of the floating island.

  But as he was the one who received the invitation and had already entered the theater and passed the first floor, Li Feng did not intend to tell Alton such details.

  At the moment, Li Feng just took another sheet of paper, handed it to Alton, and shook his head slightly:

   "The explanation for turning on the lights, I guess is on this page.

   But there are too many words on this page that I can't understand. I'm sorry, but I can't understand them either. "

   "Where is there, you are too polite, you have helped us too much."

   Hearing what Li Feng said, Alton hurriedly replied.

   Li Feng nodded and didn't say any more.

  He lied with truth and detail, and with sincerity, he had already deceived Alton.

  …

  The setting sun in the evening shone like gold into the garden of Storm's End, coating the blooming roses with a layer of gold.

  Shea, still in the form of a black cat, walked side by side with Li Feng, because of what happened just now, she was too embarrassed to lean on Li Feng's arm.

   "You just said that you learned from Mr. Hai, is it true?"

   Shia asked curiously.

  After translating the historical materials just now, Alton curiously asked Li Feng how he learned the ancient troll language at a young age.

   Li Feng told him that it was because he had studied with a teacher when he was young.

  But the teacher didn't mention his name, and only asked others to call him Mr. Hai.

   These words were of course used by Li Feng to deceive Alton.

  In order to avoid being found out, Li Feng did not name the teacher he made up, but only gave him a mysterious code name.

   As a result, even if Alton wanted to check, he couldn't find out.

   "Those who lie to them, what I tell you is the truth."

   Li Feng replied lightly.

  Sia:? ? ?

  ‘Is what you told me the truth? how is this possible? '

   Now Shia just feels even more inexplicable.

  Because Li Feng told her that he didn't know how he knew the ancient troll language, but he knew it out of thin air.

   In Shia's opinion, this is just to tease her.

   Resisting the urge to roll her eyes, Shia asked back to business:

   "Now you have read the historical materials of the floating island as you wished, but it doesn't seem to say how to enter the second floor of the theater?"

  In the discussion between Li Feng and Alton just now, Shia listened to every sentence in her heart.

   But unfortunately, she didn't hear useful information for both of them.

   This made Shia feel disheartened for a while.

   "Why didn't you write it?"

   Li Feng laughed when he heard the words, thinking that the cat is a bit silly today.

  Such important information, of course I can't disclose it to Alton.

   "What... what?"

  Hearing Li Feng's words, Xi Ya immediately reacted in shock.

  She was not shocked by Li Feng's deep thinking, but by his understanding of the ancient troll language.

   "Do you know all the ancient troll language on it?"

   Li Feng smiled and said nothing.

   Unlike Shea and Alton, he is a little hard at learning languages.

  The things given by the system are the plenary meeting after meeting. There is no concept of only knowing half or a few words.

   "That...does it say how to enter the second floor?"

  Xia is used to Li Feng's knowledge and behavior. He doesn't want to talk, and it's useless to ask more.

  So at the moment, Shia didn't worry about it any more, and only asked about serious matters.

   "Of course, the historical materials recorded by the troll are very comprehensive."

  Li Feng nodded, he glanced slightly behind his eyes, and continued to say to Xia:

   "But now, you have to go back and become a human first. If you disappear for too long, you will be suspicious."

  Hearing this, Shia raised the cat's head to look at the sunset.

  Indeed, it’s been too long since I became a cat and disappeared today, Shirley is in a hurry when she can’t find herself everywhere.

  Anyway, Li Feng already has the answer, so he doesn't need to rush to know the answer for a while.

  Thinking of this, Xi Yabian greeted Li Feng, and then ran towards her residence.

  Looking at the disappearing figure, Li Feng gradually slowed down.

  He excused Shia to dismiss because, ever since he left the scholar's tower, there was an apprentice from Violet Eye following him.

  ‘The Violet Eye…Apprentice…’

   Li Feng thought of something in his mind, but he was not sure.

   But no matter what, since this apprentice wants to find him, he should know him first.

   Li Feng thought so.

   On the other side, Qi Heng is following Li Feng from a distance.

  In order to continue to strengthen the Kestrel, in order to find out more information related to notes and demons for the authorities, he is planning how to strike up a conversation with Li Feng.
