C24 – Deciphering the Sumerian
“Brother, is that woman Yan Xixi?” Yi Liang asked the waiter as he looked at her.
“Not bad! She is the eldest daughter of the Yan family, Yan Xixi!” The waiter said proudly.
“So she is Zan Xixi!” Xun Qinyou muttered absent-mindedly. Zan Xixi was a student of the Second Year of the First Ancient Martial Academy. She was only eighteen years old, but she had already broken through to the Level 2 of Body Tempering Stage. Moreover, her talent was also abnormally shocking. She was a super genius with an 8-star talent. In the Pinewatch City, the highest talent was 8-star, and Zan Xixi had reached the peak. Her reputation in Pinewatch City was extremely resounding, and almost everyone knew about her.
Zan Xixi arrived at the second floor and headed straight for a room. In the room, Xun Zhonghou was chatting with Gao Zhan.
“Miss.” Seeing Zan Xixi walk in, Gao Zhan quickly greeted her.
“Uncle Gao.” Zan Xixi nodded slightly and looked at Xun Zhonghou. “My name is Zan Xixi. What’s your name?”
“Senior Sister Zan, my name is Xun Zhonghou, and I am from the Third Ancient Martial Academy.” Xun Zhonghou raised his eyebrows and greeted her. He had naturally heard of Zan Xixi, so he couldn’t help but look at her a few more times.
“Xun Zhonghou, do you really know the Sumerian?” Zan Xixi asked. Before this, Gao Zhan had told her that a student knew the Sumerian. She felt that it was unbelievable. When she saw Xun Zhonghou, she felt that the possibility of Xun Zhonghou knowing the Sumerian was miniscule. Therefore, she wanted to confirm it.
“I know a thing or two about it.” Xun Zhonghou replied calmly.
“Could it be that you really know?” Seeing Xun Zhonghou’s calm expression, Zan Xixi was a little expectant. She took out a piece of paper filled with strange words and placed it in Xun Zhonghou’s hand.
“Xun Zhonghou, try it. How many words can you decode?”
Xun Zhonghou sized her up, then turned his back to avoid the gazes of Zan Xixi and Gao Zhan. He activated the [Comprehension Eye]. Suddenly, a large number of words surged into his mind. They were all words on a piece of white paper. They shattered one after another and transformed into the language of the Cassiopeia. After the words were deciphered, Xun Zhonghou was about to put away the [Comprehension Eye] when he saw the words in his mind move quickly and rearrange themselves.
Xun Zhonghou looked closely and found that the combined words had turned into a Heaven level cultivation technique called [Rejuvenation Technique]. Heaven level cultivation techniques were the top cultivation techniques in the Pinewatch.
Xun Zhonghou could imagine that the Cui family was worried that the cultivation technique would be leaked, so they purposely messed up the words. However, the [Comprehension Eye] had the ability to deduce and repair the cultivation technique, so Xun Zhonghou easily combined them together.
Xun Zhonghou would not take a mere Heaven level cultivation technique seriously, so he did not point it out.
Xun Zhonghou put away the [Comprehension Eye] and turned around. He said to Zan Xixi, “Senior Sister Zan, the Cui family said that as long as someone deciphered the Sumerian, they would give 100,000 Cassiopeia coins as a reward. Is that true?”
The main purpose of Xun Zhonghou’s visit was to obtain the Cassiopeia coins. Although he did not think that the Cui family would go back on their word, he still wanted to confirm it.
“Of course.” Zan Xixi affirmed and then reminded him, “The prerequisite is that this person really deciphered it and it can’t be less than one-third. If it’s just one or two words, then it’s not possible.”
“Then I can rest assured.” Xun Zhonghou nodded, and his expression became much more relaxed.nove(l)bi(n.)com
“Xun Zhonghou, how much did you decipher?” Zan Xixi stared at Xun Zhonghou in a daze.
From Xun Zhonghou’s tone, it seemed that he had deciphered quite a lot of content. Was there really such a possibility?
