I Just Wanted to Be a Galactic Hunter—Why Am I on the Wanted List? Chapter 374: The Stone Slab!!
Loren stared intently at the glowing stone slab, fearing it might undergo so strange transformation the very next second.
Unfortunately, what Loren hadn't expected was that after glowing for a few seconds, the light from the stone slab gradually dimd until it completely vanished...
It had returned to its ordinary appearance from the beginning.
As if the earlier phenonon was just an accident...
Seeing this, Loren mobilized even more of his Spiritual Power to touch this stone slab!
Upon contacting Loren's Spiritual Power, the stone slab glowed once more!
However, it rely glowed, and nothing else happened...
Just like an "ordinary light bulb," with Spiritual Power acting as the switch!
Loren maintained his Spiritual Power for a while, and seeing no other reaction from the slab, he withdrew his Spiritual Power.
The light emanating from the stone slab also faded away...
Loren: "..."
One second later.
Sowhat flustered and exasperated, Loren issued an order to Raven in his mind!
"Raven, maintain vigilance! I'm going to use all of my Spiritual Power!!"
"As you command, Master!" Raven, located deep within his consciousness, responded to Loren.
Next!
Loren used all of his Spiritual Power, surging it forth to envelop the stone slab!
A "hum" sound rang out!!
Enveloped by Loren's imnse Spiritual Power, the stone slab emitted an unprecedented, dazzling radiance!
Suddenly illuminating the entire interior space of the temple!!!
Loren instinctively narrowed his eyes. He manipulated his Spiritual Power, attempting to lift the stone slab!
But no matter how hard Loren tried, no matter how much of his vast Spiritual Power he mobilized!
The stone slab lying slanted on the white stone platform remained completely motionless!
After a minute-long stalemate.
Loren withdrew his Spiritual Power, shook his head, and let out a soft sigh:
"Strange stone slab, why can't it be lifted?"
As Loren's words fell, the brilliant light shining from the stone slab also faded away...
Just as Loren thought this stone slab would return to a dormant state like last ti, Raven's excited cry suddenly rang out in his mind!
"Master! A line of text has appeared on the stone slab!!"
"Wait, that's Ancient Orcish Script!! Let translate it first!"
"Huh? This sentence on the slab is so strange! And it's not quite like ordinary Ancient Orcish Script either; it belongs to a higher-level grammar!"
"'The... weight... of... knowledge... is... imasurable...'"
Raven translated the sentence from the slab, pausing between each word.
After listening to Raven's translation, Loren looked at the line of incomprehensible, peculiar symbols on the slab and softly repeated their aning:
"The weight of knowledge is imasurable??"
As Loren finished reciting the aning of the sentence on the slab, the words ford by the remaining light on the slab silently dissipated...
The stone slab returned to its ordinary appearance from the beginning.
Earthen Yellow, ugly, dilapidated...
"Hah, interesting!"
"So this is the reason I can't lift you..."
Loren seed to understand why he couldn't lift this small stone slab.
The "weight" of "knowledge" cannot be lifted!!
After pondering for a mont, Loren once again mobilized all of his Spiritual Power!
A vast amount of Spiritual Power surged forth! Touching the stone slab again!!
A "hum" sound rang out once more!
The stone slab shone with extre brilliance again!
Seeing the slab emit light once more, Loren swiftly withdrew his Spiritual Power and quickly asked a question:
"What are you? Do you have consciousness?"
As Loren's Spiritual Power was withdrawn, the light emanating from the stone slab faded again.
At this mont, Loren stared intently at the slab, his expression serious!
The next second!
A playful smile appeared at the corner of Loren's mouth!
"Raven, translate for !"
This ti.
The remaining light on the stone slab ford another line of peculiar symbols!
The next mont!
An extrely exaggerated shout from Raven echoed in Loren's mind:
"Master!!!"
"My dear mother raven!!!"
"Do you know what the slab says now??!"
"It is... a part of... the Divine Authority... left behind... after the fall... of the God of Wisdom and Omniscience!!"
Loren's eyes narrowed.
As expected... it's related to the "Gods"?
"Did it answer my second question? Does it have consciousness?" Loren then asked.
"No, Master! It only answered your first question!"
Hearing this, Loren fell into contemplation!
In his heart, he silently summarized the relevant rules of the stone slab...
One, a large amount of Spiritual Power is needed to touch and activate it!
Two, hearing the "hum" sound signifies successful activation!
Three, can the other party only answer one question?
Thinking this, Loren raised his head!
Once again mobilizing all of his Spiritual Power, he surged it forth to touch the stone slab!
After the "Hum!" sound rang out, Loren instantly withdrew his Spiritual Power!
The stone slab erupted with dazzling light once more. After a brief wait, the light gradually faded away!
Right at that mont, Loren spoke a sentence to the stone slab:
"Can you only answer one question at a ti?"
After the light on the stone slab completely faded, another string of peculiar symbols was left on its smooth surface!
"Raven!"
"Master! The slab answers, 'Yes.'"
Hearing this, Loren silently nodded. This wasn't much different in style from that 'Mr. Floor Tile'...
At the sa ti!
An extrely exaggerated smile also appeared at the corner of Loren's mouth!
Next!
He first shared the part of Raven's mory concerning "Ancient Orcish Script"!
After learning the obscure and difficult "Ancient Orcish Script" in one second!
Loren, who never acted like a normal person, began his crazy interrogation!
He continuously mobilized his vast Spiritual Power, sending it forth to envelop the stone slab!
The sound of "Hum!" rang out incessantly within the empty temple interior!
The dazzling light on the stone slab also continuously brightened and faded!
"Stone slab, do you have consciousness?"
"No."
"Can you lie?"
"No, knowledge... must not be desecrated!"
"Why were you left here?"
"The God of Wisdom and Omniscience, who had long foreseen the First Ragnarok... before His fall... concealed a part of His Divine Kingdom... and Divine Authority... in advance... within the boundless Star Realm."
Hearing this answer from the slab, Loren's pupils contracted sharply!
The hairs on his back stood on end for the first ti!!
This place was a contingency plan... prepared in advance by that... ancient God?! Did He foresee my arrival?!
After a long silence!
Loren quickly adjusted his mood and once again mobilized his vast Spiritual Power, sending it forth to envelop the stone slab...
"Did He, over a hundred thousand years ago, foresee that I would co here?"
