Chapter 1107: Stone Slabs and Clay Tablets

"The ancient god 【Silver Moon Sage】 has the power of the moon, the night, and the recorder. This is really similar to the knowledge power of 【Master of Secrets】..."

Xia De's five Wisdom Stones flew out automatically, flying toward the three glowing stone slabs, and merged into them very smoothly.

The flowing light of the glowing clay tablet and the three glowing stone slabs echoed each other. If Xia De didn't know that his three stone slabs definitely had nothing to do with 【Master of Secrets】, he would even suspect whether he was really the second-in-line Chosen One.

Because of this, except for the few people who guessed who the "God Caller" was, everyone present had recognized that the "God Caller" was the later-in-line candidate for the fourth Chosen One.

The snowflakes in the mystery were not very large, and the stars all over the sky and that silver moon were so amazing.

In the Stonehenge, Lei Jinsi Pulinxia, with phantoms of countless bookshelves floating behind him, was suspended in the sky, and Xia De, surrounded by three glowing stone slabs, stepped on the snow. Snowflakes swayed between them. The dark golden scales lifted by Yin Yi Yi Lu Na witnessed all this together with Yin Yi Yi Lu Na. She vaguely understood that Xia De wanted to defeat Lei Jinsi Pulinxia from "knowledge and wisdom" in the true sense.

After the fourth Chosen One appeared, more knowledge about the Chosen One flooded into her mind. Seeing that silver moon, she understood the significance of Xia De doing this, so she faithfully played her role.

"First is writing. Writing carries knowledge, and writing inherits civilization."

The Marquis in the sky said softly. Above the island in the center of the lake with snowflakes all over the sky, the first clay tablet behind him flew to his side. Amidst the golden light traces flowing, dense runes appeared on the surface of the clay tablet.

Like a card, the center of the clay tablet was a simple concave engraving pattern, which was the scene of Sir Pulinxia holding a quill and writing under the desk illuminated by an oil lamp.

When the patterns and characters on the clay tablet were all completed, golden light spilled from the surface of the clay tablet into the sky. Rune chains composed of hundreds of strange languages surged out from the clay tablet like tentacles, occupying the half of the sky belonging to Lei Jinsi Pulinxia with claws and teeth.

The power of the mystery gave those rune chains stronger meaning and power. This was the manifestation of knowledge and wisdom turned into power:

"I am the Chosen One of Knowledge and Wisdom, and I am about to know all the characters of the past."

The wriggling chains covered the sky and the earth. Xia De probably understood the rules. His left hand tapped the silver moon stone slab that happened to be floating in front of him. The stone slab projected light, and in the light, a stone slab the size of a door panel appeared on Xia De's side.

Dense characters appeared on the stone slab beside Xia De, and on the pattern in the center of the stone slab was a pattern symbolizing the moon:

"I know all the characters..."

He said something incredible, hesitated for a moment, and added:

"And I know a few characters that only I know."

The stone slab beside Xia De also emitted golden light. In that light, the silver moon flew out from the stone slab, and countless strange characters flowed in the perfect silver moon. The moon flying out from the stone slab rose into the sky, and the silver moon light shone on the chains flying out from the clay tablet opposite. The chains clattered and stabbed toward the "moon", but were melted by the holy moonlight.

They could only retreat.

At the same time, the light of the stone slab and the clay tablet also collided in the flying snow. Amidst the clear shattering sound, clear cracks appeared on the surface of the clay tablet in the sky. When the cracks pierced the entire stone slab, the clay tablet recording Lei Jinsi Pulinxia's knowledge about "writing" dimmed a lot, and the chains flying out from the clay tablet all retreated to his side.

The Chosen One was not panicked at all. He waved his hand to let the second clay tablet behind him fly to his side. While characters appeared on the surface of the clay tablet and patterns were engraved, the Marquis whispered softly:

"Mathematics is the foundation of communicating with all things, and it is a tool for humans to understand and utilize the world."

The pattern shown on the second clay tablet was Sir Pulinxia standing in front of a blackboard, holding a piece of chalk in his hand:

"I revere mathematics, deeply study the mysteries of numbers, and participated in the development and research of steam power machinery."

Stronger golden light than just now projected from the second clay tablet. From that light, a brass-colored mechanical bird that looked like an abstract pattern flew out from the surface of the clay tablet. Looking closely, the mechanical bird, which was as large as a person, was engraved with numbers and patterns like a blackboard in a math class.

*Ang~*

Amidst the harsh screeching, the mechanical bird pounced toward the "writing silver moon" in the sky.

Xia De's fingers tapped the Yellow Moon stone slab in front of him. The stone slab radiated light, and in the light, Xia De's second giant stone slab was born:

"I..."

The outsider's memory was suddenly pulled back to his life in his hometown:

"I have studied mathematics deeply, and mathematics is a tool for exploring the world."

Dense symbols that only Xia De could understand were engraved on the stone slab, and the pattern in the center was the lecture hall in the outsider's memory.

Xia De was lost for a moment, and at this time, two rays of light had already intertwined in the sky. The yellow moon flew out from the stone slab, and in that halo were numbers and symbols that only Xia De could understand.

The metal mechanical bird was illuminated by the yellow moonlight, and it stopped in the sky hesitantly as if it had been confused, and then turned and flew back to Lei Jinsi Pulinxia's side, and its body size also shrank back to the size of a normal bird.

"Writing Silver Moon" and "Mathematics Yellow Moon" were suspended in the high sky together. And the light of the clay tablet and the stone slab collided again. Faster than just now, Xia De's light defeated the light in the sky with a crushing posture. Sir Pulinxia's second clay tablet also appeared with cracks, and the clay tablet that originally emitted strong spiritual light floated beside him dim and lusterless.

"As for mathematics, I am still quite confident."

Xia De sighed softly in his heart.

The Marquis gritted his teeth and waved his hand. The third clay tablet flew out from behind him. He already had a bad premonition:

"The mystery of machinery is fascinating. In the era of steam and industry, mastering the mystery of machinery is grasping the direction of the era."

The pattern on the clay tablet was the rather upper-class Marquis checking a steam engine with gloves on.

The mystery displayed the most real knowledge and wisdom, which showed that he really had a considerable degree of research on steam engines.

The third clay tablet projected light. From the light, a brass-colored pistol flew out. The pistol was different from normal firearms. The gun body was inlaid with gears, pistons, and springs that looked very influential to the firing effect, but the appearance was quite good.

The muzzle was aimed at the two moons summoned by Xia De's stone slab, and the light beam was accumulating at the muzzle.

"Mechanical knowledge?"

Xia De hummed, and tapped the Red Moon stone slab that flew in front of him again. In the scarlet moonlight, the third giant stone slab belonging to Xia De appeared in the light and floated in front of him:

"Steam, machinery, gears, pistons... I have seen a more magnificent civilization, I have seen a civilization that turned the power of 'boiling water' into something greater... Light and electricity, water heat and internal energy, the pipeline network connecting the whole world..."

He said it quite clearly, and added a sentence in his heart:

"That is my hometown."

Dense characters were engraved on the stone slab, and the pattern on the stone slab was a blurred giant city hidden in the fog. Even the highest clouds could not cover the top of the high-rise buildings, and the black patterns in the sky looked like birds, and also like machinery.

This time, what flew out from the stone slab was a perfect red moon. But looking closely, it was a mechanical metal ball with fine engraved patterns and connection marks on the surface as the core, emitting red moonlight light ball.

The Red Moon flew into the high sky and blocked in front at the moment the gear gun fired.

At the same time, the light of the third stone slab and the clay tablet collided in the sky. The Red Moon blocked the light beam shooting, and even reflected the light beam, forcing the gun that appeared from the clay tablet light to return to Pulinxia's side. This time it was still Xia De who achieved a decisive victory. The third clay tablet of the Chosen One with wings on his back appeared with cracks, and the clay tablet that originally emitted strong spiritual light floated beside him dim and lusterless.

No one spoke. The others outside the Stonehenge in the mystery were all watching this sacred duel full of symbolic meaning quietly. Five stone slabs had been used, and three moons were across the sky at this time, but the "writing chains", "number birds", and "gear firearms" summoned by the Chosen One's clay tablet were all forced to stop beside the Chosen One, completely suppressed by the light of the stone slabs.

The Marquis in the sky looked at Xia De across the flying snow, his face was serious, and he beckoned to his back with both hands, and then. The last two clay tablets flew to his front at the same time:

"Literature and music, the highest essence of civilization, the supreme fruit condensed from the soul."

Characters appeared on the left clay tablet, and musical notes appeared on the right clay tablet. The two clay tablets were joined together, and the center of the clay tablets jointly constituted a huge image, which was Sir Pulinxia standing on the stage, not knowing whether he was reciting poetry or singing loudly.

In the light, "Sir Lei Jinsi Pulinxia" composed of illusory light and shadow walked out from the pattern of the clay tablet. Chains entangled his body, birds stopped on his shoulders, and gear firearms were held in his hands.

The five clay tablets resonated, and the phantom's body walked from the sky toward the three moons. The body became larger and larger.

"Is this the final duel?"

Xia De frowned slightly, and tapped the Red Moon and Yellow Moon stone slabs that floated in front of him again. In the brilliance of the two, two brand-new stone slabs appeared in the wind and snow, and were joined together.

The characters were joined on the two stone slabs, but the patterns refused to appear for a long time. Xia De hesitated this time, because the outsider really didn't understand literature and music. Perhaps he had appreciated many high-art works in his hometown, but he had only appreciated them. Unlike mathematics and machinery, that was not the knowledge and wisdom that belonged to him, and he didn't understand the essence of those arts at all. ===== CHAPTER 1108 =====
