Chapter 466: Chapter 465: The Polar Ice Sacred Artifact Chapter 466: Chapter 465: The Polar Ice Sacred Artifact Wiping away the sticky dirt surrounding the large stone, Russell quickly realized it was not just a stone.
Instead, it was a single piece of cast metal.
“The material seems like an alloy, a blend of multiple metals, and is very hard – even for me, it would be hard to break,” observed Russell after a quick assessment. The metals on the Dragon Sleep Continent all contain extraordinary magic power, giving them incredibly strong resistance.
Especially this metallic boulder’s material, it might not just be metal inside; there might be gems embedded as well.
This grants it even greater hardness and toughness.
“Ah!” Russell suddenly noticed a blind spot, “The surface of this metallic boulder, it has engraved symbols… um, everywhere there are such symbols, they look like… some kind of writing, a script I have never seen before.”
The human civilization on the Dragon Sleep Continent originated from the Holy Glint Empire, with its script, systems, and cultivation all the same.
Although the writing and language of different countries have evolved over five thousand years, the overall changes are not too drastic. The difference is about like that between ancient and modern Chinese; the meaning slightly changes, but the style is continuous.
However, the script on this metallic boulder is much more profound.
“Looking at the style, it seems faintly similar…perhaps like the difference between oracle bones and Chinese characters?” Russell could not identify it, so he could only guess, speculating it was a relic from ancient times.
He stroked his chin, “What the Dragon Sleep Continent was like before it was frozen is not recorded; such a distant age might not have left any treasures to be unearthed… Moreover, the Frost Giants have come
“Oh, what is it?”
“Your Highness Shadowflame, hold on a moment. I’ve brought some material; may you help me see, if you could translate it, that would be even better.” Russell pulled out the paper with rubbings and paced back and forth, walking up to the Shadowflame Dragon.
The Shadowflame Dragon merely glanced at it casually, then said, “Where did you find these Dark Ages texts?”
“Really? Are they from the Dark Ages?” Russell exclaimed joyfully, “Your Highness Shadowflame, you recognize these texts, right?”
“Let me have a look myself.” The Shadowflame Dragon said indifferently, “My memory of the Dark Ages texts is somewhat vague, that was Quentin II’s hobby, he enjoyed researching these odd things…”
Towards the end, the Shadowflame Dragon’s tone grew increasingly melancholy.
The times with Quentin II were already ancient memories from over a century ago, by now everything had long since changed.
Russell did not disrupt the Shadowflame Dragon.
Seconds later, the pupils of the Shadowflame Dragon suddenly contracted, and the rumbling voice of magic dragon language also rose in intensity: “Interesting, it’s actually the text for sealing the Holy Ice Artifact, little fellow, where did you find it, have you found the Holy Ice Artifact?”
“The Holy Ice Artifact? I can’t be sure yet.” Russell shook his head, “Your Highness Shadowflame, could you first tell me what the text says?”
The Shadowflame Dragon stared deeply at Russell and slowly said, “The blue demons descended from the sky, wielding this Holy Ice Artifact, swaying, the vast snow spread, covering the once warm land with thick solid ice…”
