Like a real native.
Or rather, like real people.
Time passed minute by minute, and Hitzfeld finally finished reading the four books.
Nothing was found.
One of the notebooks left by the lady involved cryptography, and Hitzfeld herself had a basic understanding of some modern social codes. She had been trying to use various forms of codes to fit the contents of the book pages.
For example, the interval method.
Initial letter method.
Wrong line method.
Tail sound method.
I've tried all the methods I know, but nothing works.
She rubbed her aching head, wondering if these things were really meaningless as Lindworm said...
If you are tired of sitting, change the angle.
He moved his butt and opened the scattered "Confessions of an Adventurer: Jessier's Adventures in Slaying the Dragon". Hitzfeld's eyes suddenly widened.
She noticed that in this book, below the main text on all pages, which was the place reserved for "notes" in all physical books, there was another paragraph of text.
It is very small and contains very little content, so it can be easily overlooked.
In addition, due to the range of the lighting, this part of the content had been hidden in the dark and she had not noticed it at all.
Feeling refreshed.
Hitzfeld immediately began trying to decipher the words.
She had seen that they were not annotations.
There is one at the bottom of each page. It’s just a romantic knight novel of unknown quality. How can it be so profound?
But they...are obviously a deliberately encrypted text.
She tried all her decryption methods but still couldn't make out any meaning.
It is none other than Sara.
She was sure there was something hidden inside, but she just couldn't figure it out.
This shouldn't be the case...
Hitzfeld held his head in his hands, thinking hard.
This crappy book was printed, and judging by the label it was printed in a regular factory.
Are there any regular printing houses or publishing houses that would specifically encrypt words in the content of books?
and--
It's not that she looks down on "Confessions of an Adventurer: Jessier's Adventures in Slaying the Dragon".
But the subject matter of this book determines that its audience's intelligence is definitely lower than the average.
This difficult question is given to a group of people with low IQ - well, she used the term mediocre - a group of mediocre readers.
Even if it's a fun Easter egg, it's too outrageous.
Do you still want to sell it for money?
Do you still want to hang out?
How can there be such a brainless author and brainless publishing house!
"Heath."
Ashley suddenly popped her head out from the side.
"what are you doing?"
"I can't sleep, so I read a book."
Hitzfeld narrowly avoided having a heart attack by being frightened, and answered her calmly.
"Are you reading these small words below?"
Ashley noticed where her finger had been stuck.
"Correct."
Hitzfeld was a little absent-minded.
Ashley got up to pee. Hitzfeld looked at her with a dull look as she sneaked into another dark room. After a while, she came back and suddenly an idea popped into his mind.
"Ashley."
"what?"
"Did your mother tell you about these small words... did she specifically tell you why these words are problematic?"
"No."
"Okay." Hitzfeld shook his head and simply picked up the top piece of paper and handed it to her.
"Please help me see if these characters are related."
Brainstorming…
Although Ashley didn't fit the term, she couldn't find anyone else now.
It was a desperate move, but unexpectedly, after Ashley asked what "correlation" meant, she gave an answer in less than a second.
"This, this, and this."
Hitzfeld: "σ(oao;)!??? What's the reason?"
She suspected that the other party had made a random selection.
“There are circles~”
Ashley gave her a simple smile.
"It's pretty simple, don't you think~"
Chapter 35: Wings of Ikaros
"..."
Hitzfeld almost thought that all the embarrassment in her life had accumulated and she had to feel it at this moment.
What a guy, he looks down on Ashley every day, saying that she is stupid, pitiful and deserves sympathy.
In the end, I'm the fool?
Yes - once I realized the principle, all my thoughts became clear.
"Confessions of an Adventurer: Jessier's Adventures in Slaying the Dragon" is a novel for... mediocre people. It does not contain any profound truths. Even if it contains interesting easter eggs, the difficulty level must match the intelligence level of these people.
Hitzfeld has read the book through. The content is very simple. It tells the story of a 12-year-old girl named Jessier who accidentally lost her parents in the mountains. Through talking to plants and animals, she learned that they were captured by a dragon. So Jessier set out on a journey to slay the dragon, and met the cardamom magician Meow Meow Na, the lantern swordsman Opem, and her future lover, Prince Poca, who rode a pure white pony.
...So it’s not that she has any prejudice against this crappy book, but the content is simply for children!
So the crux of the problem lies here - "Confessions of an Adventurer: The Adventures of Jessier Slaying the Dragon" is not even a simple knight novel, it is also a fairy tale!
In this way, the main audience group is set as children, and all the Easter eggs in the book are of course for children.
She should obviously switch to a child's way of thinking to decipher the puzzle.
But she actually ignored this and was ridiculed by Ashley instead.
Backlash.
I can only say it's a backlash -
Urging Ashley to go back to sleep, Hitzfeld silently repeated in his mind several times, "Humility makes people progress, pride makes people regress", and with a slightly disgusted look, he switched to the thinking of a child and quickly cracked the "code text".
In fact, if you take all the circled words separately, they can be arranged and combined into a paragraph, with a total of less than 300 words.
This isn't some secret code Easter egg at all...it's just a puzzle for entertainment.
He found a charcoal stick - the village pen, and wrote down the deciphered content bit by bit on the blank space on the first page.
Then read.
There aren't that many words that can be put into this puzzle mode to form sentences, so there are only four sentences in total.
[Prince Boca is actually a child of God. His father, Ferenci, once lived in the kingdom of the Sun King and felt God's grace day and night.]
[But Ferenqi felt disrespectful to the goddess and attempted to make wings to touch the sun.]
[The closer Ferenqi gets to the sun, the hotter his body becomes, and he and Yuyi eventually turn into a fireball.]
[In order to punish Ferenqi for his crimes, Prince Boca was expelled from the kingdom of God and became a mortal again.]
Oh...it's a short story related to the myth of the Sun King.
Indeed, the content is related to the main text. It should be to supplement the setting. From this perspective, the author of this book is quite thoughtful.
Staring at the text in deep thought, Hitzfeld began to wonder if this was what Britney wanted to hide.
First of all, it has encryption.
Although this encryption seems very stupid now.
Oh, actually I should say I have a lot of ideas...
But this is also encryption.
The prerequisite of "Lindworm was deceived" is met, so it can be retained.
Secondly, she felt that this story was just a remake of "The Wings of Icarus".
Wings made of wax, flying too close to the sun and so on...it's just a matter of details, so falling to death turned into burning to death?
Another thing - she found that the story of "The Wings of Icarus" seemed quite close to the reality of Brays Island.
There are also people wearing wings here.
Those hunters, the Sky Hunters.
There are also chasms that need to be crossed.
This even corresponds to the legend of the Daedalus Bridge, but Hitzfeld doesn't think Britney knows this story, it should be just a pure coincidence.
But most importantly, the ending of this story reminded her.
Burn to death...melt?
She wouldn't have thought of that.
But when she saw this word, she immediately thought of the human camp on the coast, the corpse-dissolving monsters, and the survivors' notes brought back from the camp.
Those last words...
[Do not attempt to enter the Crystal Sea.]
[Humans will never understand the power of God.]
[This is divine punishment.]
[Whoever attempts to touch the sun will be reduced to ashes.]
...so similar.
It can be said that they are exactly the same.
Here, Hitzfeld did not think it was a coincidence. She felt that the two paragraphs must contain the true secrets of Brays Island and the Crystal Sea, and if they were solved, it would be possible to break the impasse.
But how to solve it...
Trying to touch the sun...
sun……
Hot Wind Festival...
Ashley said that two suns could be seen at the Hot Wind Festival…
Is this what you mean?
