107 Magic Book at Episode 107 (1/2)
Promise I made with Mr. Martina.
It was about getting a book of magic.
The inn room I'm renting, the dining table.
Right now, a messenger from Mr. Martina is sitting in front of us. I'm an old gentleman who feels different from Mr. Jiji.
Smiling and smiling, she is drinking the tea she received at the inn service.
”Hey, I'm sorry. I'm suddenly interrupting... For once, I thought it would be better if I contacted you... It's my bad habit to act as soon as I think about it.”
He who speaks well.
Me and Prine laughing bitterly.
”Well, it's quick, but it's what Martina left you”
The messenger pulled the crate out of his large luggage and placed it on the table.
”This is the Book of Enchantment of Time.”
The messenger who opens the crate. Inside was a black fitted book as thick as a dictionary.
Please, I was advised to take it. [M] The moment I turn the cover, the messenger says.
”Don't worry, it's not a book like - it freaks out when you read it”
”I was surprised the other way around!?
It's bad for the heart.
I'll turn around. Yeah. I have no idea. Letters I've never even seen are spelled out extensively. And it sounds like a different language from page to page. It's like there's no unity. Some pages have a surprising flow of twinkling brushes that are not sure if they are letters or not.
Sometimes there are illustrations that don't make sense. Could it be a monster, depicting a human with a large sunflower blooming in the area equivalent to his face, or a conical organism that produced a large number of tentacles? Creepy.
Along the way, there are many blank pages. I thought, occasionally letters? Shapes? are described.
The last page is obviously out on the way. The letters that were surprisingly inscribed all the way around the middle of the page had abruptly disappeared.
No, this.
I guess he looked like that. Look at me. The messenger laughs.
”I read it, too, but it didn't make sense”
”Ma, it's not what I read in the first place. Yes, Prine.”
”Thank you, Ra. Excuse me.”
And I gave it to Prine.
”Use this one too”
The messenger, on the table, placed about ten more books of the same thickness as The Book of Enchantment of Time.
”It's a translation of the Book of the Wizard of Time,”... ”
”Translation books?
”Yes. As you can see, The Book of Wizards of Time is complex and cryptic in content and cannot be read alone. Therefore, it needs to be translated by the reader.”
But the messenger goes on.
”Only about 1/10 of the total has yet been translated. It also doesn't necessarily translate correctly. We have co-translated it to Mackenzie wizards, magicians, researchers and scholars, and that's all that's left over thirty years.”
”Are you serious...”
Isn't Martina, who gave me this, unwilling to let Prine read it...?
You read my question, says the messenger.
”The more you sell it, the more valuable it is to be able to live a lifetime of freedom”
You can change it for money, you mean?
”Please make sure you sell it to us.”
However, it is forbidden to place it on the market. I see.
”But Master Martina said: I was wondering if Master Prine would translate everything correctly.”
