Rogel: "..."
You might as well just say my drawings are terrible...
Rogel glanced at the symbols he had drawn and smiled awkwardly.
"How about... I draw them again?"
His copying skills were indeed quite poor.
Mira shook her head helplessly: "Forget it, it’s sowhat visible, let try to decode it."
Then, she picked up the sketches Rogel had copied and the chain beside her and started to focus intently.
During her examination, she seed to use so sort of extraordinary power, her eyes glinting with a strange light.
"Prison of confinent..."
Mira murmured with a frown, as if she had seen sothing.
Monts later, she picked up a pen and began to write on a sheet of paper.
She was jotting down what she had deciphered.
Rogel did not interrupt, waiting quietly by her side, occasionally glancing over to see what Mira had written.
After about twenty to thirty minutes, Mira finally deciphered the contents of the stone tablet murals and even the chains.
"I see..."
Mira murmured to herself again, clarity in her eyes.
She had largely understood the origins of the Lava Rock Prison and the hidden history within it.
"Take a look."
Perhaps noticing Rogel’s curious gaze, Mira handed the paper she had written to him.
What Rogel saw first was the interpretation of the stone tablet he had seen when he first entered the Lava Rock Prison.
[Born with the glory of the gods, raised in the cradle, bathed in divine light, yet committed unforgivable cris, proud and arrogant, defying divine laws...]
[Before the Eternal Burning Furnace, the forging hamr, the testant to the power served on both sides, Daqiu Haru, imprisoned here to cleanse sins with scalding water...]
Despite Rogel’s poor drawing skills.
He did not miss a single character in his copy.
Even so, the contents on the stone tablet were still incomplete.
Fortunately, this still allowed one to grasp the general aning.
It was roughly about a demigod nad "Daqiu Haru", who angered the boss "Eternal Burning Furnace", and was exiled here and imprisoned in a fit of anger, and then perished.
If Rogel guessed correctly, this unfortunate demigod should be that serpent-tailed minotaur.
And the "Lock of the Burning Furnace" was the demigod assigned to imprison this unlucky fellow in the Lava Rock Prison.
However, Daqiu Haru probably didn’t give up attempting to escape before his demise, with constant conflicts against the Lock of the Burning Furnace.
The next part was about the contents of the mural and the long chain.
This part was quite long, but Rogel, after a quick glance, understood the key content within.
[...Two demigods battling endlessly, the molten core carried from the divine domain continuously spews out magma, evaporating the seawater, forming a sea of lava...]
[...They were severely injured in this relentless war, yet the battle still continued...]
[...The forging hamr of the furnace was damaged, the escaping black smoke contaminated the statues, animating them while also poisoning them with the black smoke, making them suffer imnsely...]
[...In a near-death state, the Lock of the Burning Furnace entrusted its power to its chain, turning the entire periphery of the prison into a deathtrap, binding any life entering with the prison’s chain lock...]
[Throughout the long passage of ti, the Lava Rock Prison rose and fell, with its contained demigod power affecting and polluting all living entities that stumbled in...]
Guardians, Lamp-bearing Patrol, the Eternal Binding Demon, and the statue guards dead before the Lock of the Burning Furnace, all represented the pollution from the spillover of the two demigods’ power.
These polluted prison creatures even possessed their own intelligence.
And the Eternal Binding Demon was the most special among them!
Its original form was a young demon, possessing a mysterious and unfathomable demon lineage, yet even after being eroded by the demigod power for a long ti, it did not completely lose its sanity.
This can be seen by the nurous murals it had carved.
However, eventually, it began to gradually lose its sanity.
Those converted "Guardians" should have been fooled by its insane self, like the blood race Maureen whom Rogel encountered earlier.
"What kind of abilities does the demon lineage possess? To be able to sign a contract with people outside and bring them here..."
Although much information was decrypted, so questions remained unanswered.
Nobody knows how that demon died, eventually becoming just a shell manipulated by the chains.
The broken Demon Pointer should have been brought by it.
"A hamr, a chain, it looks like they’re both just dummies..."
"This ’Eternal Burning Furnace’... could it really be just a furnace?"
Rogel couldn’t help but wonder.
But he quickly pushed these thoughts down.
For Mira before him seed to undergo so magical change.
A few golden scattered symbols danced around her, slowly rging into her forehead.
Perhaps, after deciphering this hidden history, Mira’s [Historical Apprentice] ability was coming into play.
Rogel left Mira’s room and returned to his own.
Mira’s deciphernt had helped him understand the origins of the Lava Rock Prison.
But Rogel still had a question lingering in his mind.
"Why does the Cave entrance... appear within the Lava Rock Prison?"
He pondered.
But it was a question to which the answer was hard to find.
At least at the mont, he had no way of finding an answer.
Sighing slightly in his heart, Rogel then took out two items.
[Wizard’s Codex] and [Molten Core].
As for so other things, they were rather trivial, and Rogel didn’t bother to sort through them, glancing at them briefly before putting them into his backpack.
