Thus, since a hundred years ago, the basic education of Wizards no longer involved the Elf language but turned to involve more frequently used dialects from various continents.
But even so, he still recognized the semblance of the Elf language, having occasionally seen it along the way before... and it was clearly different from the characters in front of him.
"This is..." Colin asked, looking at Lillian, who also furrowed her brows in confusion.
"I don't know." Lillian shook her head, a trace of doubt flashing in her eyes, "It's not the Elf language."
"But isn't this where the High Level Elves reside?" Colin furrowed his brows.
Lillian silently looked at the characters in front of the door a few more times before suddenly pausing, uncertainly saying, "No, this may indeed be the Elf language, is it... ancient Elf language?"
"There's an ancient Elf language in the Elf Clan? I thought they claimed to be born with knowledge, that from the moment of birth, it has always been like this, without any change," Colin asked curiously.
"I'm not very clear either, just deducing. My mother once mentioned the existence of the ancient Elf language to me... But whether these characters are ancient Elf language, that remains to be discussed... Anyway, let's go in and take a look first, then search room by room."
Lillian answered, subconsciously preparing to use witchcraft to break open the door.
However, in the next instant, as if thinking of something, she looked at the hood behind Colin and then tentatively whispered, "Nasi, can you help open this door?"
"Good giant?" Hearing this, Nasi hesitated and turned to tentatively ask Colin.
"Mhm." Colin nodded, and the little Elf then stopped hesitating, flew up, and gently sprinkled a beam of light onto the door.
Click.
As if using a master key that never failed, the door instantly opened.
"Your little Elf seems to listen to you very well," Lillian said, pushing the door open and entering, while speaking to Colin through a mental Spirit transmission, behind the two small Elves.
"Nasi is still a free Elf... she's not really mine," Colin followed behind, walking into the room.
The room wasn't large, inside there were several rows of neat bookshelves; the books on them were somewhat yellowed but mostly present, the shelves were almost full!
Seeing this, a smile clearly emerged on Lillian's face. She glanced at Colin, not continuing the conversation.
Perhaps because the Protective Shield on the bookshelves didn't fall under the door's category, Nasi was powerless against it.
Fortunately, the Protective Shield was relatively simple. The two spent some effort and jointly deciphered it and then simultaneously started flipping through the books at a rapid pace, attempting to find something useful.
But soon, the joy on Lillian's face gradually faded away.
Colin also tightened his brows on the side.
Similar to the inscriptions on the door outside, the books here were all written with strange characters, suspected to be ancient Elf language.
"Collect the books, let's go to the next room," Lillian spoke, after pondering for a moment.
"Mhm," Colin nodded.
In such a situation, they could only do so... but fortunately, the books could be put into the Storage Ring and carried with them.
The two divided the books in half and collected them, then moved together towards the next room.
But what they saw next gradually sank their hearts into the depths.
As Nasi said, there was something left in almost every room here.
But... they were almost all books.
All kinds of books, leather-bound, paper-bound... but unanimously, they all used the strange characters suspected of being the ancient Elf language.
As they went higher, the books became older and older in appearance.
This gave Colin a vague guess that these books... might be related to the history of the Elf Clan.
But no matter what, for them as Wizards, even if they didn't recognize the characters, these were undoubtedly a valuable treasure.
But for Lillian... these things were not what she needed most at the moment.
Time ticked away by the minute, and although the tree of stone didn't have many rooms, their search progress was slow, mainly because each time they needed to break through the defenses on the bookshelves.
These defenses became stronger the higher they went, and towards the end, with their abilities, even though these protections had weakened somewhat due to years of neglect and faults, they could no longer be broken through.
So later on, basically, Nasi would open the door, they would enter to take a glance if there were bookshelves and then continue to the next room, improving efficiency.
But in the end, it took nearly two days for Colin and Lillian to search the entire stone tree completely.
A familiar scene at the highest point of the stone tree, there was also a watchtower with an excellent view.
Only this time, the wind was even stronger.
Lillian's golden hair danced wildly in the wind, like a wheat field about to be flattened by the gale.
"There are still surrounding areas we haven't searched," after a moment of silence, Colin took the initiative to console.
The little Elf Nasi only knew there was something here but didn't remember what it was... otherwise, it would have been a lot easier for them.
But now, they had to search one by one.
'Wondering if Nasi has actually been here...' Colin sighed inwardly and glanced at Lillian once more.
"Whoo~"
The wind seemed to grow stronger, Lillian's golden hair was almost completely lifted.
Colin was about to avert his gaze.
Click.
As if he thought of something, he suddenly pulled out the Pocket Watch.
The next second.
"Lillian, the senior, it's going to be windy!" he looked up and said solemnly!
