Chapter 62 Runic Symbols
"May I touch it?" Lucian asked Lily.
Despite not knowing what Lucian meant, Lily nodded.
"Lily does not mind, but what does Big Brother Lucian intend to do?"
Instead of explaining, much to Lily's discontent, Lucian covered his finger in Mana before plucking one of the strings.
*Ting*
A harsh musical note resounded in the quiet restaurant.
Instead of giggling at Lucian's demonstration, Lily's mouth widened in wonder as she stared at the green lines now covering the zither string.
"Is that the Universal Language?" Fenwick asked Lucian with confusion evident in his tone and continued, "It looks completely different to what I have once seen."
Lucian pointed at the green lines that zig-zagged around the string, then explained, "These green lines are not the Universal Language, rather they are the Elven Language."
Lucian then looked at Lily and continued, "Whoever created your zither is either an Elf or is proficient in the Elven Language."
Lily frowned.
"Lily is confused. Didn't Big Brother Lucian say that my Soul Ensnaring Zither has been inscribed with Universal Language? Lily doesn't like liars!"
Fenwick was also confused, but he did not voice his opinion and simply waited.
Unless Fenwick wanted to die.
However, for Lily, it was completely different. She could not believe her uncle had called Lucian, senior. Even though, he looked only slightly older than her.
"Uncle Fen, Big Brother Lucian is not old. Why did you call him senior?"
"Lily, I did not call your Big Brother Lucian, senior because of that. I am merely showing my respect to someone who is very powerful." Fenwick perfectly lied, without a change in his expression. He was like a wily fox, that easily tricked Lily.
"Oh, okay!" Lily nodded and looked at Lucian, waiting for him to continue.
"Big Brother Lucian, when is your story going to finish? Lily is hungry!" She said poutingly, while rubbing her stomach. She was still hungry.
"I'm almost done." After clearing his throat, Lucian continued, while glancing at Fenwick, "To answer your question, yes. There has been one person who has learned the Universal Language in our world. As for what happened to him, I do not know. The records did not mention that part. He might be dead or still alive."
Of course, that was also a lie. Wang Chen was too weak to know information of that caliber.
A moment later, Lucian touched the ramekin with his Mana-covered finger. Suddenly, ancient symbols materialized out of thin air around the ramekin.
"Ouch, my eyes!" Lily squealed and closed her eyes. For some reason, as soon as she gazed at the ancient symbols, her eyes felt a burning sensation. At first, it was barely noticeable, but quickly, it had become too much for her to bear.
A few seconds later, Fenwick also closed his eyes, terrified he would lose his vision if he continued to gaze at the ancient symbols.
'Are those ancient symbols the Universal Language?'
Seeing their reactions, for a fraction of a second, Lucian smiled speechlessly, before his face returned to indifference.
