Chapter 41 The incomprehensible mural
There are indeed murals, and they are surprisingly clear. Even the traces carved on the stone walls will inevitably become mottled under the erosion of time, especially the paintings painted with pigments. The paintings on the walls here are more delicate.
, it first carves patterns on the stone bricks, then pours metal solution into them, and when encountering large areas of color, simply dig out grooves and fill them with paint.
Such a luxurious and laborious production method has indeed allowed the mural to remain intact until now, but there is another problem, that is, Cheese cannot recognize what the mural is about. The art style is also common with culture. If you don’t know it,
Love becomes difficult to interpret.
"Do you have any clues about what is recorded here?" Cheese looked at the mural above his head, hoping to find understandable symbols, but the result was still in vain. Even though he was dignified in gray robes, he couldn't understand anything.
"It can only be said that the builder may not be mentally normal, sir. In my opinion, there are only a large number of incomprehensible color blocks and lines, and there are no words or graphics. Even the devil can draw better."
Binwei doesn't mind using his own race as a metaphor. Demons have always been known for their low creativity. They are good at destroying but have no talent for creation. Only a very small number of demon lords or great demons are slightly different.
Yes, the reason why the mural here puzzles Cheese is because the mural itself goes beyond the expression of symbols and words. The content it describes is too abstract and cannot be understood at all.
But this kind of incomprehensibility is different from the taboos and madness of the evil gods. The mage did not feel any dangerous atmosphere from it, but felt that it was extremely strange. It was even so strange that Cheese could not have any desire for knowledge, because what he saw was too much.
distant.
"Perhaps it's not that the person who drew it is not good enough. Our pictures and even words can be the same, but there are actually preconditions. Whether they are demons or humans, elves or dragons, they all have their feet on the earth and their heads in the sky. These are the things that are common.
Even if the relationship is very weak, it still connects us. I
We have never lived in a world without earth. Even the inhabitants of the water have similar concepts. But what if the authors of these pictures lived in an environment that is inconsistent with all our common sense? The world they observed
Naturally, we cannot understand it either.”
"Teacher, is this possible? If they really lived in a place like that, how could they leave traces in our world?" Uni spoke softly, expressing his doubts like cheese.
Cheese didn't feel offended. On the contrary, he was very happy that Uni began to think about issues other than animals. This was very important. Many mages trapped themselves in their original fields and repeatedly hinted that they only needed to study a certain direction. They
Therefore, the opportunity to understand other knowledge and bring it into the scope of one's own cognition is lost. Like a silkworm wrapping itself in silk thread, the final result is at best nothing more than turning into a moth.
Of course, the ability of silkworms and other caterpillars to emerge from chrysalis and become butterflies is their own biological limitation, but for humans, what kind of person they will become is full of uncertainty. Humans are spinning cocoons and transforming all the time.
"You think their world is irrelevant to ours because you have presupposed an inaccurate premise, which is the so-called our world. The world is not only filled with others in space, but also in time. The sea can change.
For mulberry fields, valleys can be transformed into highlands, but what about more exaggerated changes? Is it possible?
Could it be that in a certain process in the past of our world, the sky and the earth were upside down, and living things were floating in the air and living on scattered stones? Even more incredible, in a certain process, the various types of water, fire, and earth that make up our current world
No elements have been produced, and everything is in a more ambiguous and chaotic mud soup?"
"This..." Yuni frowned, trying to understand the ridiculous-sounding assumptions thrown by Cheese. His intuition told him that his teacher was not talking nonsense.
"This is a possibility that can explain what we see. But it still contradicts the scene in front of us, doesn't it? If there are no stones and metals, how did the things on the murals remain? Maybe they were formed by natural condensation
, recording some quaint information. Or, the person who created these images happened to be in the element
In the era of his birth, he uses his only remaining memories to try to recreate the past that has never returned. It is also possible that all my assumptions are incorrect, and these are simple ghost drawings or something else. As mages, we are committed to understanding this
The world, but just like the blank spaces on the map, there are always parts of the world that we cannot explain."
Omniscient knowledge is a luxury, and it is even more impossible to explain everything in detail. Cheese did not say this sentence, because directly admitting this ignorance is likely to make the apprentice fall into a too practical level, and he will give up.
Exploring the unknown and only delving into the known is not the gray robe's style.
The gray robes admit the unknown because they have personally come into contact with the unknown. This is fundamentally different from mere deduction or presupposition.
"Nagging, have you found a way to get down?" Garka, who is least used to interacting with mages here, said impatiently. It was too looking forward to leaving here.
"Ah, I do have an idea about this." Cheese took out the alchemy dice calmly, walked to an unimportant place on the wall and rolled it gently. The surface of the dice was stained with a lot of stone powder.
He then smeared the stone powder on his face to form a skull-like facial pattern, and then opened his hands to show it to others.
"We can't crack the secret here, but we can become part of the secret. These stone powders can make us look and smell the same as the surrounding stones. The premise is that there must be some physical contact with it. So my suggestion is
, take off your shoes, and then hold on to the wall to go down."
The gray robe pressed his palm on the stone. Starting from his facial lines, his skin quickly became dyed with a similar color, and even the texture appeared to be similar. But when he took his palm away, what happened just now
The transformation seems to be an illusion.

"Great, then what are you waiting for?" The furry creature danced happily.
"It takes time to replicate a substance, even with this die. Fortunately, it's worth waiting. If it can't reproduce this substance, I can only give up. You see, even if we don't know that detailed,
There is still a way to solve things, right?"
