Chapter 191 Dragon Rune, Clearance Reward
The wind-dried mud slabs were covered in dust due to the alternating dry and wet air. The hard mud shell was still covered with scratches from branches, friction from giants' fingers, and cracks caused by runes of power.

It spoke Gu'dorei to Lin Bo, telling him the story of every scar on its body. Every seemingly broken and twisted fey text had been erased and revised more than once before it was finally finalized.

This was the giant's last resort, as ordinary soil was not a qualified carrier after all.

The characters on the clay tablets are divided into two types: one is crooked characters with twisted strokes, and the other is incomplete characters with missing strokes. Each crooked character is followed by a string of incomplete characters, and the two are clearly related.

He guessed that the giant used the missing strokes to represent the rune shape that he wanted to record, but it often took two or three missing parts of the incomplete character to be pieced together to form one stroke of the power rune.

The crooked characters use wavy lines of varying lengths and directions to mark the correct stroke order, length, and other information of the power rune.

What impressed Lin Bo was that the giant could write poems with these fragmented words, but he could still barely read them, and the theme expressed was exactly the true meaning of the power rune.

The title of the psalm is also incomplete. Elven languages, like Chinese, have a phonetic component and a phonetic radical, and a phonetic system based on that radical. The incomplete character of the psalm title is missing the phonetic radical, hiding the true pronunciation of the power rune.

The giant who designed the puzzle went to great lengths to obtain the magic words passed down from generation to generation. It took Lin Bo a lot of effort to decipher them.

He sorted out the missing parts of the incomplete character, piecing them together, erasing, twisting and reversing them bit by bit to restore each stroke.

They are like winding coastlines, coiled and knotted snakes, and jagged scales. Each stroke is like a complete character, which will quickly produce a miraculous effect when it falls on the paper. The paper will wrinkle, soak, and rot, erasing the strokes.

Lin Bo's magic notes contain thousands of words of power and real names, and he has built a small database to facilitate his summary and organization.

The strokes of Gudorei are broken, while those of Animist are formed in one stroke. There is an obvious progressive relationship between the two.

The giant's hidden power runes were even more complex and complete than the Animist language. If he hadn't possessed the professional trait of a secret language learner, he wouldn't have been able to memorize even the strokes.

Lin Bo had to use blood banyan tree pulp paper as a carrier and spent several hours trying to piece together the complete character shape.

As he got closer and closer to the answer, the blood banyan paper could no longer bear the weight. As he wrote, it was destroyed at the same time, just like using invisible ink. With each stroke, the previous one disappeared.

Lin Bo had a lot of alchemical materials on hand, and the material with the best magic carrying capacity was the purple-quality Feather Scale Star Steel. He took out the steel bars in stock from the paper box, pinched them into thin paper, and then engraved characters on them.

The light in the narrow sky dimmed, then brightened again. With the giant's corpse falling, the source of negative energy affecting the entire plain vanished, and the sunlight became even more glaring and intense. The light of the sky shifted from west to east across the cave until it faded once more.

In the library, several groups of elves came to deliver food.

Lin Bo drank the remaining wine in the glass, put it back on the tray, flapped his wings, and flew away shakily.

He tapped his fingers lightly on the piece of star steel paper on the desk and made the final stroke.

A complete rune suddenly appeared, and the surging magical light rose and fell as if breathing.

Lin Bo carefully examined the fruits of his day's labor. This character could be considered a picture, its strokes crisscrossing and interweaving to depict the head, eyes, body, tail, scales, and even the internal organs shaped like mountains and rivers within the body's outline.

It does not resemble any real or imaginary creature, but it inexplicably reminds people of a dragon, not a metallic dragon or a colorful dragon, nor a Yinglong, Jiaolong or other species.

In terms of appearance, it lacks any intuitive connection with any dragon, but its shape is so agile and powerful, its outline reveals an overwhelming and magnificent essence, and it contains strokes that are like the world of mountains and rivers, with a wonderful and vivid beauty.

If we were to compare it to something, it would be a dragon, an idealized dragon, a creature endowed with all kinds of powerful and noble images.

When Lin Bo was looking for magic runes in the merchandise list of Ochi Magnificent Garden, he found the cheapest Gudorei language, the expensive Animist language, and the Dragon language which was not open to the public for purchase.

Now, he saw a Dragon Language Rune with his own eyes.

The mage stared at the rune with sparkling eyes and engraved it in his mind.

He has also figured out the correct pronunciation. It is very simple to verify the authenticity. He just needs to speak it out. The power of words mastered by the True Name Mage can make the magic words spoken out loud produce miraculous effects.

After acquiring the Secret Language Learner class trait, Lin Bo no longer forgot the shape and pronunciation of the magic words. He would recite them repeatedly to understand their meaning. Because the deeper his understanding of the meaning, the more significant the effect of the magic words he cast.

The dragon language rune in front of me means "pure, supreme power".

Lin Bo left the library. The instance was almost over, so he went straight to the surface. The elite army was gathering in the mountain valley. He didn't join them, but flew to an open area and, facing the desolate wilderness, softly recited dragon language.

The pronunciation of this word is very complicated. The giant used repeated phonetic components to emphasize the tone. Lin Bo even doubted whether the human vocal cord structure could recite it accurately.

"(Expletive) power."

The curse power condensed and then dissipated, and nothing unusual happened.

He knew that his failure was due to inaccurate pronunciation.

After a moment of thought, Lin Bo formed a sword finger seal to control his body and mind.

The principle of pronunciation lies in the vibration of air. The vibration frequency range provided by human vocal cords is limited and restricted by muscles and nerves. However, Lin Bo intends to try to use the mantra to control the throat and produce higher or lower tones.

Ever since he learned the Double Blade Dance, he has often tried to use the technique to control the flexion and extension of skeletal muscles to control his body more precisely. However, he has achieved little success so far because the human body's muscle groups are too complex to take into account.

However, just controlling the vocal cords is not a difficult task.

Lin Bo used the vibration of the Fierce Control Technique to increase the frequency, and used the cooling of the Solid Control Technique to lower the frequency, trying to emit ultrasound and infrasound that the human ear could not receive.

After practicing many times and gradually mastering the pronunciation technique, he tried to recite the dragon language again.

"(Expletive) power."

A heavy but silent murmur came out of the mage's mouth, and when it fell into the air, it turned into a sudden thunderclap of heavy rain.

A shock wave spread out from his body. The surging circular air wave crushed the long grass on the ground into small pieces. The green grass debris rushed into the distance like waves. The soil under his feet trembled slightly, like a cow that had been whipped.

Lin Bo nodded with satisfaction. He succeeded. Even though he had not yet fully understood the semantics and could only exert limited and shallow power, the effect of the dragon language spell was still eye-catching.

There are a total of thirty-seven dragon language slabs left by the giant. He has made rubbings of them and kept samples so that he can continue to study them after returning.

At this time, the sun had already set behind the mountain.

The sunset in the Giant's Fall Field is pale, as if the world is covered in snow.

A deep purple vortex of time and space emerged in front of the mage. Lin Bo looked back at the home of the elves. They were gathering troops to retake their homeland and restore natural vitality.

The mage smiled, didn't say goodbye, and walked straight into the portal.
