Chapter 1669 Tacit understanding
"Drive slowly when you go back."
Li Chengqi stood at the door, waving to Gan Xiaoyan who came to pick up Adas and the others, watching them get in the car and drive away, then turned back to the computer.
Viola and the others had gone back yesterday. After all, they only came to Li Chengqi's place for refuge, not for vacation.
Gan Xiaoyan also came over after a few people returned and asked if they had left, but didn't ask any more questions.
I always feel that Jiu Ke seems to know that Li Chengqi seems to have the ability to make people travel through time, but Jiu Ke does not say it clearly.
After all, Aldai is a magician, so it is normal to come here once or twice, but others are not, and they obviously do not have the ability to travel through time.
Among them, the one who made Jiu Ke the most suspicious was Zola.
Because before Zola, no priest had ever been able to reach Earth from the multiverse world, and there was no priest among all the time travelers recorded by Jiu Ke.
It is very possible that Jiu Ke could figure out something from this point.
However, Jiu Ke did not say anything clearly, and Li Chengqi would not expose himself.
For Jiuke, Li Chengqi was able to fight and was honest. He was a very good collaborator. There was no need to get into a stalemate over issues that were not core interests.
The core interest of Jiu Ke is stability. As long as it does not affect social stability, anything can be said.
So there is a tacit understanding and a very tacit understanding.
As soon as Viola returned, she immediately threw herself into her work, leaving Aldai and the others in big trouble.
In the past few days, the family secret room of the Subia royal family has really turned into a volcanic crater, continuously spewing lava out. It did not stop at all until Viola returned, and it even seemed to be larger in scale.
A large number of forests were ignited, and the plain at the foot of the mountain was devastated. Fortunately, there was no one nearby, otherwise there might have been some tragedy.
There is actually no better way to deal with this matter.
There is a fire element elder inside, and it is impossible for the lava to stop before its power is exhausted and it automatically returns to the fire element plane.
The fire element elder is as high as level 60. According to Aldai's estimation, the lava is likely to continue to erupt for more than a month.
It is easy to solve this matter immediately. All we need to do is dig up the mountain wall, pull out the fire element elder and kill him.
But it's really just easy to say, not to mention how much time it takes to dig out the mountain wall. How to kill the fire element elder who is up to level 60 is a big problem.
Even if Li Chengqi takes action, it will consume a lot of faith points, and the gain is not worth the loss. Anyway, the fire element elder will not come out to make a fuss if he leaves it alone. It is safest to wait for it to run out of energy.
The direct consequence of this incident was that Viola's marching speed was slowed down again.
Because the lava happened to lie across Viola's path forward, she needed to wait until the lava finished erupting and cooled enough to pass before she could continue marching.
This is a very troublesome matter for the army's logistical supply. Originally, Viola planned to capture the fortress in the mountains and then withdraw her troops to negotiate peace with the Demonic Kingdom of Subia. Now it's better. It will be delayed for at least another month. Viola could already imagine her office being flooded with letters from behind.
Zola got on the ship as soon as possible after returning and returned to Avarus. She originally just wanted to ask Viola's opinion about the next construction plan of the capital's cathedral, but who knew that she was suddenly dragged away and came back? An adventure. As the archbishop of the Demon King's Cult, Zola is still very busy.
The most comfortable one should be Nemea. Viola first awarded her an informal reward, and then she returned to the army and lived a life as usual.
Nemea is also looking forward to the end of this war, because after it ends, she will be able to get the territory and become a noble lord, even if it is just a non-hereditary knight noble.
Although the girl didn't know it, the reward she would receive later would far exceed her expectations. After the others returned home, they followed the routine and continued to do their own things, but Aldai was the most restless among them.
The first thing to deal with is the lich's phylactery.
Li Chengqi found the tools from Aldai's room. Aldai first copied down the runes and magic circles hidden on the phylactery, and then analyzed the manufacturing process and materials of the phylactery. Then, under the supervision of Li Chengqi and Ada Si, the phylactery was completely destroyed.
Due to being pulled by Li Chengqi to travel through time, the soul of the illithid lich has no chance to return to the life box, so destroying it on Earth is the safest and most certain thing.
Aldai, who has always been keen on seeking death, did not commit suicide in this matter. After all, for an illithid lich that may be at least seventy levels, it is very likely that the arrival of the saint Li Chengqi is not particularly sure. Aldai Being keen on seeking death does not mean being keen on seeking death.
Apart from the Lich's phylactery, the rewards from this adventure were exaggerated, second only to the previous search for the Demon King's Ring.
Regardless of the large amount of precious materials, there is actually a piece of legendary magic armor, but this armor has been carefully sealed by the illithid lich, who wants to lift the seal...
Anyway, with Aldai's current ability, I'm afraid it will take ten years to unblock it.
Therefore, Aldai is not in a hurry to study this set of legendary heavy armor called Star Armor. Currently, Aldai is indeed doing business.
For example, study the information taken out from the secret room of the Subiya family.
These information are all carved on stone slabs and written in code. Even if there are a few patterns, they are simply incomprehensible.
The most annoying thing is that the encryption method is extremely disgusting, and there is no control text. If there is no decryption method, I am afraid it will never be solved.
Fortunately, if you don't understand, you can ask. Since Princess Flavia knows the family secret room, of course she also knows how to decrypt the information.
This is true, but the way Aldai asked was too direct. The first thing she said when she found Princess Flavia was, 'I'm sorry, your family secret room is gone. By the way, can you tell me about this? How to decipher the slate? ’
When Li Chengqi saw this scene through the monitor, his toes were on the ground in embarrassment. He felt that if Princess Flavia hadn't had to lower her head under the eaves, she would have tickled Aldai all over her face...< br>
The method of decryption is actually not difficult, it just requires the use of a codebook.
And this codebook is a book published in the Demon Kingdom of Subia.
For example, the history of the kingdom or something like that.
The six tablets require three books to decipher, because they were written at different times, and naturally the codebooks used were also books published at different times.
This is a little troublesome,
Due to transcription problems, many books contain a large number of errors and omissions. As a code book, there cannot be any mistakes, so a perfect publication must be found.
Books themselves are extremely valuable items, and the price of a few good books is enough to bankrupt a middle-class family.
Not to mention the books needed to decipher the tablets, some of which were published hundreds of years ago. It is not easy to find all of these books.
Aldai immediately led people to search the aristocratic families in the occupied area, but in the end only found a copy of the 'Autobiography of King Subia', and it was not well preserved.
Using this book as a codebook, Aldai took only one day to translate about one-third of the content on the first stone tablet, which was mainly information about the strongholds of the seven apostles collected by Subia.
Much of the information is consistent with the intelligence obtained by the disciplinary priests, so it is still credible.
Speaking of which, these guys haven't changed their bases for hundreds of years, and they feel a bit too lazy...
