Creation System: Reborn As A Fantasy Worldsmith

Chapter 327 Deciphering The Map

Geld abruptly walked over to the pedestal, 'The most obvious place to look, which would actually be the least obvious due to that very reason, would be right here on this pedestal.'

Now, looking at the entire pedestal with a different set of eyes, ones that looked extensively for clues, Geld almost instantly found something out of place.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered a series of small, intricate symbols carved on the different edges of the large stone structure.

There were four symbols, and they were placed adjacent to the four moving parts of the scattered pieces of the map.

'It's almost like the two correspond...' Geld mused, as he continued to investigate these symbols.

"Everyone! I found something worth looking at!" Geld said as soon as he confirmed that these symbols weren't useless.

They all walked over, and Geld explained what he understood from the symbols.

How they possibly related to the four scattered parts of the map, and how they were possibly coded for something that they could decipher.

"It's clear to see that none of these symbols are letters," Lyrian said, taking a look at them.

"They are actual symbols that mean something. Like this one, it shows a v shape going through a circle." He exclaimed, pointing to one.

"A v shape? Could that be a sword? Maybe a spear?" Leon chimed in, as that made sense to him.

"What could the circle be?" Alten questioned, but no one could come up with anything too obvious.

"Well, whatever they are, I think we can be sure that once we find out the true meaning behind these four symbols, we can understand the missing map piece, and unlock this hidden passage to the side that leads to that room with the skeleton death symbol on it," Lyrian said, as everyone nodded in agreement.

Now, they were fixed on what their goal was.

To decipher these symbols, and open up that hidden passage.

The process of solving these symbols wasn't easy, and actually arduous instead.

However, after a while of going at it nonstop, they began to quicken their rate of progress.

Finally, they came to a conclusion in the end.

"The V going into the circle symbol means a sword piercing an eye." Just like this, Geld announced the meaning of the four symbols.

"The horizontal and vertical lines represent the cutting of hair." He paused, allowing everyone to follow along.

They all confirmed his words, making sure there were no mistakes and everything lined up perfectly.

"The triangle and square represent a throne, and finally, the two circles represent infinity."

After this, a few seconds of awkward silence ensued.

After all this hard work... no one knew what do to next.

Out of nowhere, patches of stone opened up on various sides of the wall but suddenly unleashed a barrage of arrows toward the students.

This was so sudden that not everyone was able to avoid them this time.

Both Jackson and Kaspov were grazed quite badly.

Kaspov cried out in pain, as Jackson clutched the side of his arm with a sizable chunk taken out of his arm.

Lyrian quickly rushed over and took a look at the arm of the boy that was splurting out blood like a water fountain.

"Here, quickly, drink this." Lyrian pulled out a healing elixir and handed it to Jackson.

Jackson quickly drank it, as Lyrian mused, 'He helped me in the entrance exam in this way, so I have to repay the favor.'

Back then, when Lyrian had almost fully run out of energy, Jackson used his power to heal Lyrian.

However, Lyrian remembered how Jackson went into an almost critical state due to mana exhaustion.

For that reason, Lyrian wasn't going to hesitate to help the boy.

After drinking it, Jackson exclaimed in gratitude, "Thank you! I wouldn't have been able to heal my arm fast enough by myself. You're a lifesaver."

Kaspov then exclaimed, "Give me one too damn it! Hurry up, you fucking moron! My leg is about to fall off!"

He screamed in a flustered rage, in excruciating pain as he clutched his leg that had an arrowing piercing right through it.

Lyrian stood up and faced the boy, "No. Deal with it yourself." He said coldly.

"What!? Are you insane!? Why did you give it to him then!"

Lyrian didn't hesitate to answer, "There are a multitude of reasons. None of which you fit the criteria of. Jackson is my friend. I have been waiting to repay the favor he granted me in the entrance exam. And finally, he is currently in my group for this exam."

"Group!? We are in the same group, you fool!"

"Just because we are traveling together doesn't mean we are in the same group. You three said it yourselves at the start. We are not in a group, we are simply going the same way. If you want help, ask your own leader."

Lyrian looked up at Jalern, who stared back with furrowed brows.

After a few seconds of the fat boy continuing to scream in pain, Jalern took a potion out of his robe and threw it down forcefully onto the face of Kaspov.

For a second, the glass broke and cut deep into the boy's skin, but in the very next second, everything on the boy's body healed instantly, and the arrow was pulled out of his leg.

Kaspov immediately stood up, nearly retaliating against his leader, Jalern, who had turned around by now.

Before he could, however, Fraser quickly covered his mouth and held him back.

"What the hell are you thinking!?" He whispered loudly into Kaspov's ear, throwing him to the ground suddenly.

As he landed on his rear with a thud, Kaspov's anger disappeared.

He breathed a few deep breaths, calming himself down.

"The reason why that just happened... was it because we gave the wrong answer?" Jackson exclaimed, standing up.

No one spoke for a few seconds, but Lyrian broke the silence with, "You are right. But... I now know the answer."
