"My child is an adventurer like you. Five days ago, he went with a group to the ruins in the south of the city to earn money for my wife's medical treatment, but there has been no news since then. I am very worried about him."
The old farmer was sitting across from me at the table, his head lowered, looking a little uneasy.
Reiner looked at Junice beside him: "What do you mean?"
"Although the situation inside the ruins is very complicated, it is a small ruin after all. If they haven't come out in five days, it can only be that they are in danger." Junice paused and continued, "How many people are there?"
The old farmer thought for a moment and replied, "About six people... He rarely told me about this, so I'm not really sure."
"Do they have experience exploring ruins?"
The old farmer shook his head again. He should know nothing about it.
Junice held her chin with one hand and thought, "If it were six experienced adventurers, it's unlikely they would be wiped out, unless..."
Seeing that she was keeping it a secret at the critical moment, Reiner couldn't help but ask, "Unless what?"
"Reiner, the dangers within the ruins are far more than just the countless traps and evil spirits. That place is shrouded in darkness, which will constantly erode one's sanity. Any slightest negative emotion will be infinitely magnified.
If one's mental endurance is insufficient, one's spirit can easily collapse and fall into a frenzy."
Reiner was slightly stunned.
Both beast-eared girls have the attribute "Spirit" on their attribute panels.
He vaguely remembered that Nora's spirit was D and Martina's spirit was C.
I thought it was only related to magical talent, but I didn't expect it to be closely related to sanity value.
Reiner inquired softly, "What's your son's name? How old is he? What does he look like? Does he have any distinctive features?"
The old farmer said without hesitation: "Pierre Craig, he is already nineteen years old, and he has a scar on his nose, which was left by a fight with someone when he was a child..."
Reiner silently noted it down and then asked, "What will you give me as a reward?"
The old farmer took out a tattered and yellowed book from his backpack.
Junice took one look and became very interested.
She took it and began to read it.
The old farmer continued, "This book was found by my grandmother when she was young. Unfortunately, I can't read, so I don't recognize the character 㫧 on it."
Junice flipped through the pages of the book, her brows gradually furrowed. "I don't recognize this word either. Reiner, please take a look."
Reiner took the book and immediately activated the translation function.
In his eyes, the characters on the pages began to reorganize rapidly, and finally turned into characters that he could understand.
At the same time, the president also gave an answer.
【Osyakka】
"The language on it is Osyaka."
After that, he began to look through the catalog.
It turns out that this is a magic book that records rock magic, which is exactly what Reiner needs right now.
At this moment, Junice suddenly said: "Reiner..."
"Um?"
"Osyaka is the language of the western part of the old empire."
"Well, what's wrong?"
"The old empire has been gone for thousands of years, and its language has long been lost. Where did you learn Osyaka?"
“…”
Reiner looked up at Junice and saw that her eyes were wide.
You can't just say he has a golden finger, right?
Looking at the magic book in his hand, he had an idea.
"How could it possibly have been passed down? Someone must have been able to do it. Look at this book, it's still in good condition. Logically speaking, a book thousands of years old should have been eaten by insects. It must have been made within the last hundred years."
Junice narrowed her eyes and said seriously, "Many ancient books and volumes have received divine blessings, so it's not difficult for them to remain intact for thousands of years.
