Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 20 Deciphering

Without Claude's expectations, Eriksson and Welikro were ready to play wild cats after school. Claude reminded them that although their fathers are nationals, they can legally own muskets, and they are now enjoying their father's nationals treatment until they are 18 years old.

But after all, it is dangerous to take a musket in the town to shoot wild cats. This is not to say that wild cats will cause danger to them, but Claude is worried that they will accidentally injure pedestrians with muskets.

Finally, these two guys still understand the importance of the matter, and decided to change the weapon. Welikro went home to get the hunting bow, and Eriksson went to the dock to find his own sailor. Both weapons have a shorter range than the musket, but it should be enough for the wild cat.

Borkal has a stone shovel at home, which is a long-range weapon that his father will carry when he escorted the goods on a long distance. Under the constant enthusiasm of Eriksson and Welikro, Borkal, who was excited about the route plan planned for his father in the morning, decided to put the Whitestag town up and go, go home and take the sarcophagus to finish with the partners. The wild cat continues to be excited and not too late…

Only Claude refused the invitation of the partners. His excuse was not to look for the wild cat to report his insomnia. Instead, he did not sleep well last night. He was almost late in the morning and went to a class for a day. He was very tired and now feels his eyes. I can't open it soon. So he wants to go home and have a good night's sleep. The revenge for the wild cat can only help his good friends…

The excuse was good. The partners didn't force Claude to join them. Instead, they asked him to go home early to rest. He also said that if there is a harvest, bring some to the school tomorrow and let Claude taste the taste of cat meat.

When I got home, I was lucky. My mother took the little fat pier and went to the door next door. Mrs. Aleka, who was newly moved on the third floor, did not know when she became a good friend of her mother. She often went to gossip together and forgot to go home to cook. The most important thing is that Mrs. Aleka has a seven-year-old daughter. Little fat piern found a playmate and didn't think about it. She refused to go home several times.

Angelina has also returned home from school and is writing homework at the table.

Claude touched her sister's head and said it again, let her sister write down, don't let people disturb him, unless he was called again at dinner.

Going back to his little attic, Claude swept away his face with decadence and listlessness, and the whole person suddenly got up. Open the drawer and take out the results of last night. Seven copies of the Manly paper with the ancient Hez language text copied from the seven-page recipe. In order not to mix the order, Claude also deliberately numbered each piece of paper.

Do you want to decipher immediately? Looking at the ancient Hez language dictionary on the table, Claude's heart rushed to the urge to wait, and he really wanted to know what secrets were hidden in the hidden words on this magic recipe.

However, Claude still forced himself to calm down, and he was not in a hurry. At this time, it would be better for him to be mentally active and then copy two more pages from this magic recipe. Anyway, these Guhtz texts on each page are the same. A few lines, so as not to decipher the seven pages and then have to continually copy the sun and moonlight…

After focusing on two pages of recipes, Claude finally began to decipher.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

……Today is the Norman Magic Calendar August 11, 3341, rain.

After seven days of trekking, our eight people finally arrived at Golddew Town.

We stayed at the Xianglu Tavern.

Ready to have lunch, I was shocked when I saw the recipe. I never thought that someone would use a magical stencil made of lion's skin to copy a recipe…

I asked the pub buddy. He said that half a month ago, someone took the wine account owed by this blank book. The recipe in the store was torn by two drunken drunks. The boss thought that the book was not easy to tear and was used as a recipe.

It’s a violent thing! I really couldn't stand such a precious magic-grain paper book that was used as a recipe, so I bought it with a Sullivan.

Senior Tawari said that it is not worth it. Although the magic-grain paper made by the lion's skin is a good material for making magic books, this book has already copied the recipe, and the magic lines on the paper have been destroyed and cannot be reused.

He is right, but I bought this recipe not for magic books. I didn't bring a diary with me this time. I just used this book to write a diary. As for the recipe above, I can use it as a camouflage…

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

This is the first page of the recipe, and it took Claude more than an hour to decipher it. After reading, Claude was a little excited and disappointed, and still confused.

The excitement is that this recipe is indeed a magician's handwriting. Disappointing that this recipe is hidden is not the secret of the magician. This is very clear on the first page. The magician only found this precious. The magic-printed paper book made by the lion's skin was used as a recipe, and he bought it as a diary.

Confused is the beginning of the Norman Magic Calendar on August 11, 3341? Freia Continent is a dark calendar for more than four thousand years, plus more than 500 years of the Holy Light, Claude has never seen anything about the Norman Magic Calendar. Could this Norman Magic Calendar be the unique calendar of the magician?

Sighing, Claude picked up the second and third pages of the transcript. There are only a few lines in the two pages. It is very simple to decipher.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

……Norman Magic Calendar August 12, 3341, sunny.

Nothing happened during the day, I have been meditating in the room.

Last night, Paula found two pub waitresses in the next night, and I couldn’t sleep.

I said a few words at dinner, he was very impatient.

He said that there is no chance to enjoy it now, and everyone’s face is not good…

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

……Norman Magic Calendar August 13, 3341, overcast, it was raining in the evening.

Meditate in the room during the day.

Senior Tawari's face was very serious during the evening meal. He told me a message that a team of wizards was ambushed in Binio Valley. All eleven four-ring and triple-ring mages were killed by muskets. There was only one five-ring mage. Three bombs escaped.

Binio Valley is only a hundred miles from Golddew Town, which is a bad news.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Strange, there was a musket at that time, and even went to ambush the magic division. Claude became curious and continued to decipher the fourth page. There are more words on this page.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

……Norman Magic Calendar August 14, 3341, sunny.

I met Jones Master today. Like me, it is a four-ring mage.

When I saw him, he was very embarrassed, and he was desperately pouring rye into his mouth in the pub lobby.

Senior Tawari said that he was born because of his death.

Master Jones came from Russau City and, like us, received a summons from the Magic Deacon and ordered them to come to Golddew Town to gather.

They were thirteen people, and they were also ambushed by the Musketeers in the wilderness less than fifty miles from Golddew Town. They only ran back to six people, and Jones Master was one of them. However, according to him, their counterattack also caused great casualties among the ambushes. The town has now gone to the organization team to check the scene.

You don't know…They are not afraid of death at all…Master Jones is crying there:

……Even if we used a bursting fireball to blow some of them into pieces, their accomplices still stood in the field and fired on the musket. Even if the blood was splashed on their faces, they still stood there and raised their muskets to fire at us…

……I cursed the person who invented the musket! This is the weapon of the devil! Those black iron servants use this demon weapon to let the blood of our noble mage spill over the earth…

Master Jones finally drunk and died.

Senior Tawari came to my room before going to bed, so I was not allowed to tell others about the improvement of the musket. I am not stupid, I will not say this.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The amount of diary information on this fourth page is a bit big…Claude looked at his diary's diary and thought about it. First, the magicians received a summons from the Magic Deacon, gathered in Golddew Town, but also ambushed by the Musketeers, and the damage was great.

The second is about the musket. It seems to have a great connection with the magician who wrote the diary. At least he participated in the research on the improvement of the musket.

The knock on the door sounded.

"Two brothers, two brothers, have you got up?" Mom told you to go downstairs to eat…"The voice of Angelina was born outside the door.

Claude stood up and opened the door: "Know it, I will go on."

"Wait, Anna, I bought you a present yesterday."Claude shouted at the sister who was going downstairs, picked up the sterling silver flower card from the bedside cabinet and called her sister's hand: "Beautiful?"

Angelina's eyes lit up: "Thank you brother, I will take it to my mother."

Turned around and went downstairs.

Eh!Claude also wants her to bring the four pirate villains to the little fat pier, forget it, or take it with you.

The dinner is very rich. The main course is the potato stewed beef tail, and there are two yellow-fried long-tailed sword fish. This is the specialty of the Beringa Lake. It has always been famous for its stinging and tender taste. A large plate of grilled lamb ribs, and a half-red-red roast goose, with a small basket of blueberries on the table.

Is it a festival today, or is there anything to celebrate? However, Claude soon understood that this should be the rest of the banquet last night. It is impossible to have so many dishes in the house.

Sitting on the main seat is Albert, and this goods regards himself as the owner. This will be sitting in the father's seat and cut the only one of the half of the roast goose and chew it in his hand. My sister Angelina stood at the table holding a knife to cut the white bread, and the mother was feeding potatoes to the little fat pier.

"Give, little fat pier, like it?"Claude handed the pirate villain to Bloweyk, and the little fat screamed and jumped out of the chair, holding the pirate villain to see the West, and liked it.

"Claude, you have spent money, just bought Anna for the card and bought the toy for Blowk."Mother put down the small wooden bowl in her hand and complained.

"Not much money, I bought it when I saw that it was right for them." Right, father? ”

"Your father sent someone back in the evening to report that if there is something in the evening, he will not come back to eat."

Oh, it seems that my father is still busy with the route plan that they are planning at night. It is no wonder that Albert dares to sit in his father's seat like this.

"Anna, don't cut it, so many slices of bread are enough, sit down and eat."Claude ignored the goods sitting on the main seat and took two silver plates for himself and his sister to scoop the potatoes and the tail of the cow.

"Hey…"Albert slammed the red wine in the cup. This red wine should also be left over from the banquet last night. This will only be a small half bottle. Then despise Claude and say: "There is a lot of money, buy this one." I am still trying to ask you, I have a silver thale and I have disappeared from home. Is it for you? ”

Claude really doesn't want to care about him, but this product has no self-knowledge and always provokes himself.

"Do you believe that if you say this? Don't say a silver thale, it's a black penny, you haven't been at home. I warn you, don't mess with me, understand it! ”

"I said there is there, otherwise you will come to buy gifts for them!"This cargo is still coming.

Claude sneered: "Oh, where can I manage my money?" Where is your money used? I know very well that two skirts and one coat, Whitestag town is so big, there are so many clothes to sell, and it is clear to ask…"

“Ewww.”Albert seemed to be caught in his throat, and he couldn't say anything, just staring at Claude.

"I don't want to take care of your scandals, and I don't bother to care about you. I just hope that you don't make your parents angry. So in the future you have to control your own mouth and try to appear in front of me as little as possible, unless you want to be jealous. I mean, do you understand? ”

Claude forked a piece of potatoes stuffed with beef sauce and stuffed it into his mouth.
