Shall we go to open up the wasteland together tomorrow?

Chapter 296 Karina and the original text

"Hello, I'd like to find Mr. Barret Edward."

The deepest part of Rainbow Hall is guarded by special guards.

Ethan respectfully took out a letter and indicated that he was here to deliver the letter.

The guard was about thirty years old. He looked directly at Ethan and reached for the letter, but Ethan took the letter back.

"Sorry, I have to hand it over to Mr. Barritt in person."

Seeing this, the guard hesitated for a moment.

Ethan knew he would call Barritt.

Because Barritt is the captain of the Rainbow Hall Guards and the direct superior of the guards.

The guard didn't say much, gave his companion a look, then turned around and entered the building behind him.

About ten minutes passed.

The guard just now came out followed by a sturdy man wearing a gorgeous knight's uniform and a big beard.

Ethan's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood that the person in front of him was Barret Edward.

"Who is looking for me?"

Ethan glanced at the name on the badge on the big man's chest and confirmed again that it was him: "Hello, sir, I am a contestant in this 'Ten Schools League', and I have been asked to bring you a letter."

Barritt took the letter handed over by Ethan.

He only glanced at it and exclaimed: This handwriting...

Master Fanta!

Unfold the letter paper and read ten lines at a glance.

After a few breaths.

"Hahaha, it turns out he is a friend of Master Fanda."

Barritt smiled generously.

He tilted his head and gave the guard a look as if nothing had happened.

The latter nodded imperceptibly.

Then he pretended not to see the three of Ethan and got out of the way.

After entering the Rainbow Hall, Barritt exchanged a few words with Ethan and then left.

Ethan plans to find Karina first, and then accompany Bingo and Nicole to search for the ‘Fountain of Youth’.

According to Barritt's instructions, Karina worked in Prism's strategy room.

The roads in Rainbow Hall were complicated, and it wasn't until Ethan heard an eagle's cry that he finally determined his location.

Sure enough, the condor Gur is also here.

The research room mainly translates some ancient historical essays.

Ethan asked Bingo and Nicole to wait outside while he went in.

Apart from a few staff members who were busy translating, Ethan was the only one who stood out slightly.

But no one paid attention to him.

Near the window, there was a beautiful girl who was a few years older than Ethan.

The other party has the same hair color as Master Fanda, and his face is also very similar.

Elegance, classicism, knowledge.

It should be Karina.

"Excuse me...are you Karina?"

The girl looked with some surprise at the outsider in front of her who was incompatible with this place.

"Who are you?"

"Hello, senior, I'm Ethan."

After speaking, he handed her the letter written by Master Fanda directly.

Karina glanced at the envelope, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"You are Ethan."

Ethan nodded slightly.

Karina did not intend to read the letter immediately, but looked at the boy in front of her with interest.

He has short brown hair, a handsome face, and a naturally elegant and bookish air, which is indeed very attractive.

"By the way, I have something good for you."

Ethan suddenly remembered something and quickly took out a package from the badge.

Karina smelled the sudden fragrance, and Juan's beautiful nose kept stirring.

She couldn't wait to open the package and exclaimed: "Candied pine nuts!".

This is a snack unique to the dining hall at Flo University.

Karina once left many ‘class notes’ in the textbook in Dudin.

But those notes were more like her own diary.

Among them, he mentioned that his favorite thing is to eat candied pine nuts in the cafeteria.

Later, when she graduated, she threw these books into the second-hand bookstore "Morning Blossoms Picked Up at Dusk".

Bought by Ethan.

So when he came to Zion City, he bought a bunch of snacks in the canteen in advance.

Among them is Karina’s favorite ‘candied pine nuts’.

"How do you know I like to eat this?"

Ethan smiled coquettishly: "I was lucky enough to buy my senior's second-hand book."

"Hahaha, that's it."

"I didn't expect you to be so familiar with Dudin."

"Haha, it was out of curiosity at first, but later it was really because the notes left by my senior sister in the textbook were so interesting. Unexpectedly, I gradually mastered it."

Ethan panicked a little.

But Karina was very useful.

"No wonder Gul always talks about you to me. It says you are a nice person."

"It seems that it is exactly what it says."

"Hahaha, it's actually not that good."

"It also asked me to marry you."

"Cough~~"

"Hahaha."

"I haven't had time to thank you for bringing back my father's suicide note."

Karina looked normal.

"Professor Taylor is a respected scholar. In the fields of linguistics and occultism, I think no one can surpass him."

Ethan said seriously.

After he read Professor Taylor's masterpiece, he admired him even more.

"Oh, he is indeed a respected scholar, but he is not a good husband or a good father."

Karina shrugged, a trace of regret flashing across her face.

"By the way, senior sister, I heard Master Fender say that you are the only linguist besides Professor Taylor who can read the original text."

Karina smiled ‘haha’ and shook her head disapprovingly.

"The original text is the most difficult text I have ever come across. Even though I have put a lot of effort into it, I still dare not say that I have mastered it. Most of the translation of the Book of Abraham is based on the records of other civilizations, which are verified and translated by each other."

"This is a very imprecise approach."

"But there is no way. There are too few records about the original text."

"I can only give it a try."

Ethan took out a stack of fragments of the Book of Abraham from his badge and handed them to Karina.

"Great, I just need materials about the original text."

Karina happily put away the fragments.

"Thank you for your hard work."

After Ethan finished speaking, he hesitated a little.

Then he wrote a line of text on the paper.

This is the text that appeared on the black box.

One is about the body-building technique of the crippled craftsman, and the other is about the 'questioning knot'.

Karina looked at the line of text.

She frowned slightly.

"These should be two secret techniques named after their names."

When Ethan heard it, he was ecstatic.

Karina can really translate.

Then he wrote a few more characters on the paper.

These are the characters on the inside of the Ten Commandments ring.

"This means 'patience'."

Ethan was stunned. He didn't expect Karina to blurt it out.

And she seemed very determined.

"Strangely enough, last year, someone asked me to translate a string of characters, including these two characters."

"Do you remember who asked you to translate?"

Karina nodded slowly.

"I have all the letters from last year, I should be able to find them."

...

After discussing the ruins and civilization and writing for a while, Ethan suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Senior Karina, I'd like to ask in which direction the 'Fountain of Youth' is?"

Karina smiled slightly, with a gleam of understanding in her eyes.

She waved her hand and didn't speak, but took out a blank piece of paper from the table.

She picked up a pen and wrote and drew on it.

After a while, a map appeared in front of her.

Karina drew it very carefully, even marking the number of guards and the flow time.

It seems that she often sneaks there.

"Thank you, senior."

"When I have a chance to return to Turing City, I will treat you to your favorite Wednesday set meal."

"Hahaha, it's a deal."

After saying goodbye to Karina, Ethan left in a hurry.

And Karina unfolded the letter and read it carefully.

A few minutes later.
