Chapter 46 The Island of Gathering Fate
Until the departure of the Santeanu, Ye Zi didn't board the cruise ship. He probably took the wrong route and went to the Rockets pirated Santeanu next door... It was outrageous that he didn't get on the cruise ship after giving away his ticket.
But with Ye Zi's strength, there's nothing to worry about.
The meteorological observatory predicted that storms would gather on the original route to Honglian Island. The Sante Annu did not set off as planned, but set off directly to the island group on the southeast side of Kankan - the Seven Islands.
Enjoying high-quality room service and free accommodation, Zhouyou arrived at the first island of the Seven Islands.
One Island - the island where fate gathers.
"Thank you for using us. This is a gift. You are welcome to visit Sante Annu again next time."
The Sante Annu will cruise around the world, and there is no longer an opportunity to board the ship for round-trip cruises that disembark at the Island of Friendship.
Although he was not very interested in this kind of extravagant enjoyment, he still felt a pang of regret without the free supply of high-quality energy cubes.
"Alas, the long-term meal ticket is just gone."
After cheering up, I traveled to the Elf Center on Juyuan Island, registered my information and made a reservation for a room.
There is no gymnasium in the Seven Islands group far away from the mainland of Kanto. The main reason why I came here is to have adventure and practice before the Quartz Conference.
"Ichinoshima is located at the northernmost point of the island group. Its special attractions include the Pokémon Network Center, Treasure Beach, Fire Mountain Trail and Lantern Volcano."
With nothing to do, Zhou You flipped through the Seven Islands Guide Book he bought when he got off the ship.
Speaking of Ichinoshima, the most famous thing is indeed the huge lamp volcano in the north of the island.
This volcano has erupted many times, bringing unique landforms and ecology to Ichinoshima. Now it has gradually cooled down and become an extinct volcano, but it does not rule out the possibility of waking up again in the future.
The huge volcanic energy gave birth to a large number of fire-type elves. Fire-type elves from Kanto, Chengdu and even the Hoenn region have been observed here, and even the legendary flame bird has been witnessed.
Unlike the Freezing Bird, which likes to eat electric lightning birds and prefers solitude, the Flame Bird is an elf that migrates around with the seasons. Common sighting records include Quartz Plateau, Silver Mountain and Lantern Volcano.
The reason why Zhou You set his first target here was to try his luck to see if he could encounter the Flame Bird.
"Huh? There are still ruins inside the Deng volcano?"
After a while, while flipping through the guide book, he saw something familiar.
Juyuan Island has experienced several earthquakes in the past few years. After the earthquake, when people were detecting the conditions of the Deng volcano, they found that several ruins with obvious artificial traces were exposed.
Inside the ruins, many stone tablets and murals recording ancient texts were also unearthed.
Nowadays, pictures of these murals are published in this guidebook as an attraction to attract tourists.
"This ancient text..."
Looking at the picture on it, Zhou You subconsciously translated it.
"Everything has its meaning; everything that exists has its meaning; everything that exists has its meaning..."
After flipping through a few more pages, the text about traveling around and discovering the ruins of Six Islands was also published, and he continued to translate:
"Two stones, shining with light. One shining red, the other blue.
“The perfect combination of pearls brings together the past and the past; the perfect combination of pearls brings light to bloom.
"At that time, a brand new world will come into view. The future world will be created by you.
"It has begun..."
After the translation, Zhou You couldn't help but fell into silence.
The ancient writings in this world are symbols carved on stone slabs using raised points and grooves, which are the same as Braille on Earth (the comparison chart is of course different).
It was hard for him to imagine why the ancient people in the Pokémon world used Braille to record text.
Do they live in a lightless environment?
Are they to prevent the light source from attracting violent elves?
"Qiaoqiao, do you recognize the words above?" Seeing Zhou You deep in thought, Eden came out of the elf ball on his own, "What does this large string of words mean?"
"I have learned hundreds of millions of words from Dr. Omu, but I don't know what these ancient words want to express, and I can't even be sure whether my translation is correct. But I guess there must be more stone tablets recording ancient words that have not been excavated. come out."
The stone slabs of Ichinoshima Light Volcano and Rokunoshima Point Cave are not complete, and there are obviously more follow-ups. It is very difficult to guess them without complete documentation.
Just as Zhou You was about to look through the Seven Islands Guidebook to see if there were more brailles, someone suddenly tapped his shoulder from behind.
"!"
Zhou You, who was approached and contacted silently, subconsciously put his hand on the green onions in his backpack. He looked back and saw that it was a gray-haired middle-aged man wearing green mountaineering clothing.
For some reason, he vaguely felt that this man looked familiar.
"I'm sorry, young man, did you just translate the contents of the ruins tablet?" The middle-aged man pointed at the guide book with a serious look, "Oh, I am Jindai, an amateur explorer passing by, can you tell me about this? The ancient text on it?”
The Age of Gods...the Age of Gods...
Fight against the pioneer leader of the pioneer zone?
In the emerald version, he used the three sacred birds to end his 69-game winning streak in the open zone!
Seeing Zhou You's strange expression, Shen Dai thought that his appearance was too abrupt, so he explained seriously: "It's like this, I'm investigating three legendary Pokémon living in the ruins for some personal reasons, but I'm stuck by the problems in these ruins.
"Ancient texts like this are very difficult to translate, but I saw that you seemed to be able to do it easily just now, so I want to ask you."
"Is it difficult to translate ancient texts?" Zhou You asked puzzled, "Isn't it possible to understand it just by taking a look? "
Kamiyo:???
Is this human language?
It's no wonder that Zhouyou and Kamiya have very different views on ancient characters.
Coming from Earth, he certainly understands that these characters are close to Braille, and need to be combined with convex points and concave points and divided into several blocks for translation.
But the characters in this world are a kind of pictographic symbolic characters. Although they can roughly guess that convex/concave is the key to the characters, it is difficult to change their thinking at the first time, resulting in very slow and difficult translation.
This is the so-called cognitive bias.
Of course, if it weren't for the many ancient documents studied by Professor Oak, Zhouyou wouldn't be able to translate easily...
Professor Oak, the eternal god!
"Mr. Kamiya, I'm Zhouyou, you can also call me Qiaoqiao, this is my partner Ibrahimovic, we are training for the Quartz Conference. "
"Bui~Bi!" Eden, who transformed into Ibrahimovic, skillfully made the calls of other species.
"At the same time, I am also assisting Professor Oak's research work. The reason why I can translate these characters is because I studied at the Oak Research Institute for a period of time. "
