Chapter 3010 Arrival

In the small space covered with intricate carpets and filled with wisps of smoke, the little fox Salia continued to tell the black cat about what she saw and heard in her dream tonight. When the black cat heard the name of the dragon in the dream, he couldn't help but frowned and said with some surprise.

"Paarthurnax...you said...that was the name of that dragon? He was also a servant of a divine being named Akka?"

"Yes, according to the words of the Aka believer who called himself a detective, it should be like this. I was also very surprised at the time what kind of existence could control the dream dragon. I didn't expect it to be the otherworldly divinity that my grandfather once talked about!!" With her hands clenched into fists, Salia said to the black cat excitedly. Usually, these high-level beings only appeared in the stories that the black cat told her, but she didn't expect that they would actually appear in front of her now.

"Akka...Paarthurnax...I never thought...that dragon was actually an apostle..."

On the other side, the black cat squatted on the ground and muttered seriously the words he had heard before, as if he was trying to figure out something from it. When Salia saw this, she couldn't help but ask carefully.

"Grandpa, what is an apostle?"

"Servants of gods and divine beings usually live with gods in the afterlife. If gods have important tasks that cannot be completed by agents in the real world, they will send apostles to descend.

"After everything is promoted to gold, it has the opportunity to obtain part of the divinity and become a divine being. Only those who possess complete divinity are called gods. As for apostles, generally only true gods can possess them, such as the angels of light, the shepherds of gluttons, the mechanical spirits of steam, and so on..."

Looking at Salia in front of him, the black cat spoke in a rather serious tone, and listening to the black cat's words, the little fox Salia opened her mouth in some surprise.

"So... the angels mentioned in the church stories really exist...

"And... Grandpa, you said that only true gods can have an apostle, so who is that... That Aka is very likely not just a divine being, but more likely a true god? And the apostle of this god... is a dragon!?"

Listening to the black cat's words, Salia opened her mouth and said with a rather surprised expression that she had originally thought that Aka was some kind of divine being, but now it seemed that the other party might be a real god! This was far beyond Salia's expectations.

"It's still unclear... It would be a bit hasty to judge based on just two names. The key is that I have never heard of either Akka or Paarthurnax before. No! Not only have I never heard of them, I can't understand the meaning of these two names..."

The black cat murmured seriously, while Salia said it with some surprise.

"Eh...meaning? Grandpa, can you understand the meaning of the name?"

"Yes... When a thing is named, the name it is given must have a certain meaning. Generally speaking, if you want to know the meaning of a name... you need to master the language in which it is named. Simply put, people who master a certain language will be given a name that suits their language. For example, you, Salia, are from Vita, and your name is derived from Vita. In Vita, Salia means lady..."

The black cat was walking on the carpet and talking. Listening to the black cat's words, Salia scratched her head curiously.

"So my name has this meaning... Lady... Lady! Hehe... It really fits me well~" Saria thought happily in her heart, while Black Cat continued to walk, and he continued to speak slowly.

"Therefore, every name has a specific meaning in its own language. As long as you master enough languages, you will know the meaning behind all the names...

"However, I master all the common languages ​​and most of the mystical languages ​​in this world, but I cannot interpret the meaning behind these two names. Akka... Pathurnax... These two names obviously belong to a mysterious language that I don't understand. These pronunciations should be the result of transliterating that language into Ptolemy, and I know nothing about the etymology of these two names... I have spent a lot of time studying linguistics, and my feeling tells me that these two names are definitely not made up."

Having said that, Black Cat paused, turned around and looked at Salia seriously before speaking.

"Thalia... Behind these two names, there may be a foreign language that even I am not familiar with."

Black Cat murmured seriously that he had very high achievements in linguistics. He had conducted extensive research on both the common colloquial languages ​​of various countries and the mystical languages ​​that existed in secret traditions. He could be said to be an extraordinary master of linguistics. However, at this moment, he was unable to explain the meaning of the two names, and could not even trace their etymologies. He could not determine what language the two names were born from.

This means that these two names are based on a language that I have never known or understood! And a language often symbolizes a culture, a race, a country...

If these two names come from a tribal language, and this language... could it be that it comes from a tribal script?

"The language of the ancients... Grandpa, you once said that writing shapes writing and language... I say, Grandpa, don't you mean... that the great dragon and the gods he serves... are likely to come from an ancient culture that has been destroyed? Just like Northern Ufeija?"

At this time, with an incredible look in her eyes, Saria looked at the black cat and said strangely, in her opinion, even her grandfather did not master or even recognize the language, it must come from some lost ancient text! Then the true body of Aka is the god who is awakening in the ruins of the destroyed ancient text! ?

After listening to Salia's words, the black cat did not speak immediately, but stopped where it was, thinking for a long while before muttering something.

"There is such a possibility... But if you want to confirm it, I need more clues... Salia, in the future, if you have occasional contact with that Pathurnax, if he treats you well, and you make sure that he does not feel unhappy, you may try to ask him some questions about him, his name... and the question about Aka. If the answer shows that he can identify poison, you can store it in the memory ball first and do not absorb it."

The black cat looked at Salia and said seriously, and Salia immediately nodded affirmatively after listening.

"Well, don't worry about that, Grandpa. Lord Julong is very easy to talk to. He gives people the impression that he is very easy-going but also very busy. Every time you talk to him, you can only talk for a short while before he has to leave.

"Hey, Grandpa, how about I explain our situation to Lord Dragon and ask for his help. If he is willing to help us deal with those traitors, then we will be much more relaxed in the future."

Salia said lightly while nudging Black Cat, and Black Cat reminded her seriously again to speak.

"No! No matter who you are facing, don't let your guard down. Before you know the purpose of Pathurnax, you can't trust him too much. Unless you know the other party's background to a certain extent and have a clear judgment of the other party, you can't talk about these things. Do you hear me?"

The black cat instructed Salia seriously. After hearing what the black cat said, Salia could only nod with some hope.

"Well...I understand, Grandpa."
