After introducing themselves, everyone waited for a while, but the frog-like man still said nothing, continued to close his eyes, leaned against the wall, and did not move.
An ominous premonition.
"Excuse me." Seeing that the other party didn't respond for a long time, Lin De mustered up his courage and walked straight over.
As the puppet roared, "Don't be rude to adults!", Lind walked to the man and squatted down.
Gender: Female, this was Lind's first reaction. Although it does look like a frog or a toad, both in terms of skin and facial features, it is still pretty and even has hair, giving people a female or feminine feeling. Although it is a non-human race, and not a half-human race like the New Beastmen, it feels like someone can go down to that level.
She was wearing a cloak. Even though Linde was so close to her, she still didn't react at all. Her eyes were closed, she didn't say a word, and it seemed that she had stopped breathing.
Seeing this, Linde's ominous premonition became stronger. Swallowing his saliva, Linde carefully reached out his hand and touched it.
When I touched the other person's face, it felt cold, without the body temperature of a living creature.
With a sinking heart, Linde silently withdrew his hand, stood up, turned his head silently, and looked at the people behind him.
"Is it dead?" Cynthia was the first to break the silence.
"Yeah." Lind nodded heavily. "She...is already cold."
"How is it possible? How could Lord Iksi die!" As soon as the words fell, the puppet immediately struggled hard, trying to break free from the pig beastmen who were controlling it and rushed over. Linde waved at the two pig beastmen who were controlling the puppet, signaling them to let it go, and the puppet broke free and rushed over.
"My lord! Lord Ixi! Can you hear me? I'm back!" After regaining its freedom, the puppet rushed to the "corpse" immediately, trying to wake her up.
Seeing this, everyone present couldn't help but feel a little sad. Although one was an intelligent puppet, and the other was a different race that had never been seen before.
"What should we do now?" Cynthia said. "The owner of this place is also dead. What should we do with this puppet?"
That being said, Cynthia pointed to the mace on her waist and the back of the puppet while saying this. The meaning was clear: she could take this opportunity to give the puppet a hammer, so that it would be relieved without any pain.
"Wait a minute." Linde sighed and began to check the things in the room.
Unlike the rooms outside, there were a lot of papers on the table here. Lind could pick up a piece of paper at any time. It was filled with words that were different from the language of the Holy Empire.
Hieroglyphics, Lind thought with certainty.
Each of the characters above is independent and different from the mainstream phonetic characters in this world.
Just as Lind and others were checking the situation in the room, the "corpse" silently opened its eyes.
Chapter 310: Pretend to be dead
Unexpectedly, when Lind and his party entered the depths of the ruins, they found that the owner of the place was already dead, leaving only a cold corpse.
Inside the room, the body of the magic toad named Iksi Tal was leaning quietly against the wall, his eyes closed, without any sound.
This result was beyond everyone's expectations and disrupted all of Lind's plans. The intelligent puppet tried in vain to wake up the patient, just like a family member who didn't believe that the patient was dead. This move was very humane, because there was obvious sadness in the puppet's voice, and an important feature of artificial intelligence, especially strong artificial intelligence, is that it has emotions.
Iksi Tal's death disrupted all plans. Linde had no idea what to do next and subconsciously picked up the paper on the table in the room.
These papers were not the common parchment outside, but a kind of paper similar to the world before Lind crossed over. The quality was very good, not much worse than Lind's original world. The paper was a little wrinkled, obviously it had been placed here for some time, and the words on it were completely unfamiliar to Lind.
Although he didn't recognize it, Lind was sure that it was some kind of pictographic ideogram.
How to judge whether a writing system is phonetic or ideographic? The simplest way is to look at the number of symbols. If a writing system has few symbols and many repetitions, it is probably a phonetic writing system. Otherwise, it is an ideographic writing system. There is a view that how to judge whether a civilization is a primary civilization or a secondary civilization is to look at the type of writing system. Civilizations that use ideographic writing are mostly primary civilizations, while those that use phonetic writing are mostly secondary civilizations.
Lind is not sure whether this view is accurate, and whether it is applicable to this world is also questionable. Assuming that this theory is correct, then the humans in this world, or the Holy Empire, are the secondary civilization of which original civilization?
"What are you looking at?" Just then, Ilfa came over.
"Look at this." Linde handed the paper to Ilufa. "Madam, you are very knowledgeable. Can you understand this text?"
"... A very special piece of paper." After taking the paper from Lind, Illufa commented on it first, then looked at the words on it carefully. "This... looks a bit like a magic rune..."
"Ah?" Linde was stunned.
"Linde, are you sure this is text?" Ilufa frowned. "These individual symbols look more like magic runes than text to me."
"...Madam, do you know hieroglyphics?" Lind asked tentatively.
"No." Illufa smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Is it something I don't know?"
Everyone in the camp knew that Lind would come up with new terms and theories every now and then. At first, some people would wonder where these things of Lind came from, but now many people have given up thinking about it.
Don’t ask, the answer is what the Son of God thought of.
However, Ilfa was not among those who gave up thinking. As the former Holy Maiden of Magic, a strong desire for knowledge has always been Ilfa's virtue. Especially since Lind was Ilfa's designated son-in-law, it was reasonable for the mother-in-law to find out about her son-in-law.
Ilufa's reaction deepened Linde's doubts. Don't the people here have the concept of hieroglyphics?
"Efit." Since Ilfa didn't know, Lind asked for help from another person who knew everything.
"Master, you called me?" Efit, who was observing something, ran over immediately after hearing the words.
"Do you understand the words on it?" Lind handed the paper to Efit.
"...Master." Aifet looked at Lind with an awkward but polite smile. Forget about the previous question, which could be explained by being well-informed, but how to explain this? I am just a bartender, a semi-illiterate in theory, it is impossible and should not be possible for me to know this!
Just as Lind was thinking, a strange yet familiar smell entered Lind's nostrils.
"What's that smell?" Lind asked curiously.
"Me neither... Young Master, be careful!" Just as Lind was looking for where this familiar yet strange smell came from, Efit suddenly shouted and then stood in front of Lind.
The next moment, a flash of lightning cut through the darkness and hit Efit who was standing in front of Lind.
Efit was electrocuted by the sudden attack and his whole body was shaking. His muscles twitched and he fell straight back. Lind subconsciously caught his body and then his hands went numb. It felt like electricity.
Soon after, Lind also saw the direction of the electric shock. Iksi, who was originally thought to be a corpse, opened his eyes at some point, and there was a flash of light in his eyes.
"Who... are you..." Iksi, who had woken up at some point, spoke in a low and weak voice, like a dying patient. "Why... did you break into... my room..."
Iksi's voice was very weak. Although he woke up, he still sat there motionless. A hand with only four fingers and webbed fingers stretched out from the robe and pointed in the direction of Linde. Electric arcs flashed between the palms.
Lind finally realized what the strange smell he smelled was: ozone.
"Efit!" Lind could no longer care about anything else, because Efit's condition was very bad. The electric shock was not strong, and there were no signs of burns on Efit's clothes. It felt like the level of a stun gun, but unfortunately, judging from the marks on Efit's clothes, the electric shock was in the heart.
I touched Efit's carotid artery as quickly as possible, but couldn't feel any pulse. Efit's heart had stopped beating.
Without any hesitation, Lind immediately laid Efit flat on the ground, then tore off Efit's shirt and began chest compressions.
It happened so suddenly that everyone was stunned. After a short silence, the little rabbit Judy reacted first, screaming and waving a dagger, slashing at Iksi who was standing by the wall.
Iksi remained motionless, and with a slight wave of his left hand, lightning struck Judy at a speed invisible to the naked eye, directly hitting Judy's dagger. The little rabbit twitched all over and fell to the ground.
"Please stop! Tal girl!" At this point, Ilufa took action, and several reverse magic bullets shot over, breaking the magic ball in Iksi's hand. "This is a misunderstanding! We are not your enemy!"
While the others were already fighting each other, Lind was trying his best to save Efit, who was in cardiac arrest.
"The vast horizon is my love..." After pressing the button thirty times according to the rhythm of the song, Lind lifted Efit's jaw, opened his mouth, pushed back his tongue, and blew in a breath.
Chapter 311 Misunderstanding
Before traveling through time, Lind was a doctor who cured illnesses and saved lives. As the saying goes, "every profession has its own barriers, and every profession has its own barriers." This phenomenon not only exists in different industries, but also in the same medical workers. For example, if you ask a proctologist to treat gynecological diseases, it would be in vain.
However, there are some skills that medical workers, regardless of their department or profession, are required to master proficiently. This is not only because they are basic skills, but also because they can really save lives and determine a person's life or death.
CPR is one of them.
The not-so-spacious room was already in chaos. Iksi, who was thought to be dead, suddenly woke up and launched a sneak attack on Lind and his party. Iksi first attacked Lind, who was flipping through the documents on the table, and then Efit sacrificed himself to block the attack for Lind.
Lind had no time to care about the battle situation and focused all his attention on rescuing Efit.
Lind didn't need to recall the compression position, compression speed, compression depth, thirty to two, etc. because he had memorized them by heart. Even with a new identity, he was still very skilled. But if possible, Lind really didn't want to have the opportunity to review cardiopulmonary resuscitation again.
Two breaths of air were blown into Efit's respiratory tract, and his chest rose and fell, proving that the CPR was successful. After the two breaths, Lind immediately continued to press.
Even if Efit was a cultist, Lind didn't want her to die, not only because she was capable, but also because she saved him.
Here, Linde was trying his best to rescue Efit and had no time to care about anything else. Although the others could not understand what Linde was doing, they could see that Linde was saving Efit.
In order to allow Lind to focus on saving people, the others focused their efforts on fighting Iksi.
But it is obvious that the gap in combat effectiveness between the two sides is quite large.
"WAAAAAGH!!" Faith roared, and her huge body pressed towards Iksi in the corner like a mountain. It is no exaggeration to say that the huge war hammer in her hand could easily smash Iksi's small body everywhere. But Iksi had no intention of dodging. Instead, she gently waved her left hand, and the light ball floating around her emitted electric light and hit Faith.
Faith was hit by the lightning, but she was not knocked away like Judy. Her huge body became Faith's advantage. Faith took two steps forward despite the electric shock.
“With such little power, it is impossible to defeat the loyal sow of the Son of God... Ahhhhhhh!” Seeing that Faith was only three steps away from Iksi, Iksi, who had been half-squinting as if she had not woken up yet, opened her eyes completely. The electric arc suddenly became thicker, and it forcibly repelled Faith who was approaching.
After repelling Faith, Iksi waved his hand, and the electric ball floating around him trembled again. He was ready to launch a new attack, but a magic bullet flew over and hit the electric ball. The electric ball trembled suddenly and turned into magic power and dissipated into the air.
Iksi's expression finally changed, and he looked in surprise in the direction where the magic bullet was fired from. Ilufa held the staff in his hand, kept casting spells, and looked at Iksi with a serious expression.
"You...are good..." Iksi said weakly, then raised his right hand which had been shrunk under his clothes and condensed two electric magic balls again.
"Ms. Tasi, please stop, this is a misunderstanding." Illufa shouted hastily while the other party's magic was not ready. "We are not bad people! Do you still remember me? You saved me!"
After hearing Ilufa's explanation, Ixie paused for a moment. She squinted her eyes and looked at Ilufa carefully. After a while, she said, "Are you the weak human magician who accidentally entered the magic sealing circle?"
"...Yes, it's me." The adjective "weak" made Ilfa frown his beautiful eyebrows, but now was not the time to be nitpicking about it.
"Why did you break into my house?" After recognizing Ilfa, Iksi did not cancel the magic, but did not attack immediately. Instead, he gave Ilfa a chance to explain.
"We are here to return your puppet." Ilufa said the prepared words. "We entered under the guidance of the puppet. As for breaking into your house, it was because we knocked on the door for a long time and you didn't answer, so we took some extraordinary measures to get in."
Iksi raised his hands and locked onto everyone in the room. Everyone was holding their breath nervously, except for Lind who was trying to rescue Efit.
"What is he doing?" After a while, Iksi looked at Lind and asked.
"he……"
"Save him!" During the break in the compression, Lind yelled at Iksi angrily. "Save the person whose heart has stopped beating because of your electric shock!"
"...I'm sorry." To everyone's surprise, facing Lind's roar, Iksi did not get angry, but apologized very straightforwardly.
Another thirty chest compressions were completed, followed by two mouth-to-mouth artificial respirations. As soon as Lind put his mouth on hers, Efit woke up.
"Cough cough cough~" First there was a painful and violent cough, and then Efit saw Lind's eyes close at hand, and then, Efit felt the warm feeling on his mouth.
What happened! Why is Sir Lind's mouth against mine? Efit's mind went blank in an instant.
"You're awake!" Lind was overjoyed when he heard Efit's cough. "How do you feel? Are you feeling unwell? Are you dizzy? Are you having palpitations? Are you nauseous?"
"My chest hurts..." A series of questions made Efit a little confused. He only remembered seeing the "frog" leaning against the wall open its eyes and prepare to cast magic at Lind. He subconsciously used his body to block the attack for Lind, and after a twitch all over his body, he didn't remember anything.
Judging from the result...the master saved himself?
Efit felt his heart, which had just resumed beating, begin to throb again with a strange feeling.
"It's normal to feel chest pain. I just pressed hard." Linde said with relief. It is not uncommon for patients' ribs to be broken during rescue efforts. "Your heart just stopped beating due to the electric shock. Although it has recovered now, there is still a possibility of myocarditis."
"You should have a good rest first." Linde comforted him, stood up, and said to the pig beastman next to him. "You watch over Efit, if anything happens to her, tell me immediately."
"As you command! Your Highness, the Son of God!"
Efit was out of danger temporarily. Linde, with a dark face and holding the hilt of the sword, came to Iksi.
"Iksi Tal, right?" Lind said in a deep voice. "I have a lot to say to you."
"Okay." Iksi nodded weakly. "Let's talk while we eat."
Chapter 312 Linde's Request
The fight between the two sides came to an end. Iksi did not continue to attack, and Linde did not pursue the matter for the time being for almost electrocuting his capable secretary. However, Linde had already decided in his heart that if he was not given a reasonable explanation and a sufficient apology, he would never let the matter go easily.
In fact, Lind was already drafting a list of peace talks in his mind.
After finding a chair to sit down, Lind looked at Iksi kindly. Iksi leaned against the wall and did not move. She probably wanted to make sure everyone was within her field of vision.
The puppet went to get food as Iksi instructed, and she said she wanted to talk while eating. After about half an hour, the puppet came back with a plate. The food on the plate made Linde frown.
The yellow color and the plump grains, this is clearly corn!
First we found potatoes in the wild, and now corn is popping up. This...
Two of the American Four Yellows have already appeared on this island!
The food pressure in the camp was great. The yield of staple food per mu was low, and there was no chemical fertilizer, only composting technology. Although the magic of the Mother Earth Goddess could shorten the maturation period of staple food, the consumption of soil fertility was alarming. Overall, the food output was still not enough.
Relying on hunting, Aiwozhen Island cannot support many people, so it still has to engage in agriculture. If it wants to increase production, breeding will take a long time, and chemical fertilizers are currently unavailable. So there is only one solution left: high-yield crops.
Wild potatoes have been discovered on Aiwozhen Island. According to the description of the sheep beastman, they are almost the same as the potatoes in the world before the crossing. And now corn has appeared...
Another corn was added to Lind's list of compensation.
Under the gaze of the crowd, the puppet came to Iksi. Iksi raised his hand and used magic to summon the corn to his mouth, and started to eat it directly without using his hands.
It must be said that Ixie's eating manner was very ugly. He wolfed down the three corns brought by the puppet in one go. After eating, Ixie used magic to clean the corn residue on his face, and then looked at Ilufa who was sitting in the main seat.
