Chapter 141: Speculations
“Look here,” Morgan pointed to a pattern on the stone tablet and said, “Early writing combined peculiar textual styles with some pictographic expressions. This pattern represents a burning fireball.”
He then pointed to another part of the tablet. “These small figures—look closely—there are subtle differences. They likely represent two different races. Over here, this glowing insect-like pattern appears to rule over these small figures. These record what seem to be natural disasters, processes of escape, and even conflicts between two races.”
Morgan enthusiastically expounded on his findings for a while before concluding, “The ancient legends are true—there really were ‘Gods’.”
Sarah pursed her lips skeptically. “Teacher, you just said these are legends. Everything you’ve described could easily be guessed by any child with a vivid imagination.”
Morgan patted the stone tablet. “But now we have evidence. Everything is clearly recorded here.”
“Maybe the ancients were just bored and carved their stories onto stone tablets for fun.”
“You!” Morgan’s whiskers bristled as he glared at her. “The ancients weren’t as idle as you think!”
“You’re not an ancient yourself, so how can you be sure they weren’t?”
For the sake of his health, Morgan decided not to argue further. Sarah, however, was far from finished. Since she was young, Morgan had been her tutor, practically raising her like a father. In his presence, she could be her true self—bantering, nitpicking, and showcasing her sharp tongue. Beyond this room, however, she transformed into the solemn and authoritative queen.
