Chapter 8: The Alliance of Prose

  Aaron and the Singer followed the winding secret passage in the southern suburbs of the old capital, heading southwest. It was slightly light, and the fog had not yet dissipated on the abandoned forest path. The smell of soil and dead leaves mixed, as if even the air was stained gray. The two avoided the main commuting roads, bypassed the monitoring range of several patrol spell arrays, and finally came to a broken stone arch hidden among ancient trees and vines.

  "We're here." The Singer whispered in the dim light, pointing his finger at the lines of ancient characters engraved on the lintel: "The Night Watcher Qino engraved this, and those who enter need to read the last sentence: 'Words are not fixed, and meaning is self-contained.'"

  Aaron raised his pen and wrote the last line in the air one by one: "Justice is self-contained."

  The lintel then emitted a faint green light, and the stone door trembled slightly, slowly pushing open a gap.

  Walking into the door, there is a semi-open courtyard: a huge broken stone tablet stands in the center of the courtyard, and the surface of the tablet is covered with text marks from different eras, including fragments of ancient Esreis language, old god runes, and derived languages. On the broken tablet, there are two words "Sanyu" written in blood, the strokes are trembling, but they are particularly eye-catching. Behind the stone tablet, there are several wooden tablets stacked up, engraved with the "Free Writing Code" of Sanyu League.

  System prompt: Access "Sanyu League·Native Language Level"

  Current identity tag: AX-721·Trial access

  Note: Sanyu League members can read the intentions of beginners. If they have evil intentions, they will be counterattacked by the "Text Confinement Chain"

  The Sinking Words whispered: "Sanyu League does not believe in any centralized organization. They advocate "unrestricted writing" and "multiple consensus". Anyone who attempts to monopolize text and manipulate public opinion will be expelled. If you want to get their help, you must pass the "Word Trial": recite a "Chapter of Freedom" in the original language of "Sanyu" in front of the stele."

  Aaron's mind moved, picked up the pen and stepped into the enchantment in front of the stele. His body trembled slightly, but he did not dare to retreat. He took a deep breath, and a fragment of "Sanyu" flashed in his mind-it was a fragment of words he accidentally touched in the "Whispering Book" channel, like a fragment of ancient text blown by the wind, broken but with rhythm.

  He knelt slightly on his knees and wrote lightly:

  "Words have no boundaries, pages have no boundaries,

  Write this heart, no need for chapters.

  Tell all things, and walk together,

  Free language, scattered starlight."

  As he finished writing the last word, the stele shook violently. The blue mark wandered on the stele, connecting the fragments of text from different eras into flowing "free book veins", just like blood flowing in the stele. The mark flowed to the feet of the two people and turned into a circle of light blue halo, covering the two people.

  Trial result: Passed

  Unlock function: "Prose Interlaced·Beginner"

  Obtain ally mark: Prose Alliance·Acceptance Letter

  Tip: You can freely enter and exit the Prose Alliance territory, protected by the "Text Shelter Field"

  The courtyard behind the stone gate suddenly lit up with a soft glass halo, and dozens of figures emerged from the shadows. They held feather pens, parchment, or rune scrolls, dressed in different clothes, and all had faint smiles on their faces. The leading woman raised her hand and said softly, "Welcome, Probe. You use words as a blade and thoughts as a shield, showing the true 'Way of Prose'. Here, you don't need to worry about the seal order from the guild and the temple, but please be vigilant and don't connect this place too closely with the outside world."

  She introduced herself as "Mirror Speaker Rhine", and her voice echoed, as if the language was regenerating in the air. She signaled everyone to disperse, leaving Aaron and the Sinking Words in the courtyard.

  "The rules of the Prose Alliance are simple: here, you can learn the multi-rune system, study the Lost Language in depth, and even create a 'Prose Array', but you must also abide by three rules -

  Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.

  1. Do not introduce external hunting forces privately;

  2. Do not abuse 'Prose Interlacing' and 'Word Spirit Isomorphism';

  3. You are not allowed to bring filth and evil words into this place. "

  The Mirror Speaker retracted her hands, and her eyes fell on the feather pen and scroll in Aaron's hands: "Why did you come here? To be powerful? Or just to escape?"

  Aaron pondered for a moment, and then said frankly: "I want to escape the seal of the Old Text Temple, and I also want to explore the deep connotations of 'Zair' and 'prose'. My goal is to find out the true secret of the 'Word Spirit Canon', so that words will no longer be shackles, but can liberate the shackled hearts. "

  The Mirror Speaker nodded slightly: "Yes. The goal of a true prose speaker is not only power, but the 'freedom of words' itself. We are We need allies like you who have a sense of crisis and keep their original intentions. "She turned around and pointed to the path behind her: "This is the 'Sanyu Ancient Path', which connects us to the Nanjiao Wenshi, the Yiyan Forest in the east, and the Forbidden Wilderness in the north. You can pass by yourself. Tomorrow, I will arrange for 'Speech Walker Kyle' to teach you the core formula of 'Sanyu Interlaced'; tonight, you can rest in the 'Word Spirit Greenhouse' to restore your spirit and magic power. "

  The Sinking Words interjected: "We will also take this opportunity to rebuild the 'Character Edge Seal' and test the stability of the 'Spirit Shuttle' and 'Ci Ke' under the Sanyu array. "

  In the evening, Aaron walked into the "Word Spirit Greenhouse" alone. The greenhouse is like an ancient library, with ancient scrolls and rune drafts on the walls, and an exquisite crystal fountain in the center. The fountain surface is full of colorful flowing sand, which is the "Word Spirit Resonance Instrument". The instrument can automatically adjust the "text frequency field" in the greenhouse according to the sound frequency, making reading and writing more accurate and less likely to disturb the mind.

  He sat in front of a round stone table, took out a notebook and a feather pen from his arms, mobilized his magic power, and wrote the first paragraph of the practice rune array on the paper with "Miscellaneous Words Interlaced·Beginner". Green text threads instantly appeared on the paper, surrounding a small magic array, and a faint breeze and low humming escaped from the text, making people feel peaceful.

  Practice status: Miscellaneous Words Interlaced·Lv.1

  Magic power consumption: 0.4/5

  Spirit recovery: +8%

  Word enlightenment: +2

  He tried to weave "Flame Rune·Burning Embers" and "Memory Rune·Memory Engraving" into the Miscellaneous Words Interlaced magic array to complete a "Miscellaneous Words·Memory Burning Chain". He gently recited the spell, and the air around him suddenly trembled slightly, sucking together several pages of ancient manuscripts scattered on the table, floating in the air, and rotating into a ball of text like a living body.

  Sanyu·Memory Burning Chain·Construction Success

  Function: Can temporarily attract surrounding hostile text structures and reduce their accuracy

  He looked at the Sanyu grammar that had just helped him greatly in the battle, and nodded secretly: With the support of the Sanyu League, his ability to construct texts and his understanding have reached a new level.

  Late at night, Mirror Speaker and Kyle came to the greenhouse one after another. Kyle had a cold face and a temperament as elegant as moonlight. He placed three feather seals engraved with star patterns in front of Aaron: "These are the three major trial seals of the Sanyu League, corresponding to 'Heart Language Destroying Trial', 'Mind Realm Flow', and 'Debate Language Clear'. If you can pass one of them by yourself, you can get the 'Sanyu Symbiosis Mark' and unlock the Sanyu League's higher-level rune knowledge."

  Aaron took the three seals solemnly, his eyes firm: "No matter which one, I am willing to accept the challenge."

  Mirror Speaker smiled: "Very good, tomorrow morning we will start with 'Heart Language Destroying Trial' , that will test your mind's "judgment" of words. Successful people will be able to interpret any unknown runes independently without the help of system prompts. "

  Kyle smiled, "If you pass the three trials, you will also obtain the qualification of "Sanyu Symbiont", and can jointly develop new "symbiotic runes" with the "Word Spirit Messenger" in the alliance - this is the top secret of the Sanyu Alliance and our most precious wealth. "

  Aaron put the three runes in front of his chest, looking across the greenhouse dome, as if he had seen the infinite possibilities of countless words emerging, weaving, burning, and purifying in the future.

  Under the night sky of the southern suburbs, a cold light streaked across the sky, and the new coordinates of the Black and Silver Sealing Team were silently reflected in their eyes: "AX-721 has fallen into the territory of the Prose Alliance. The Sealing Order has entered the third stage: 'Relocation'. Activate 'Word Lock Shock' to force them to show up in one fell swoop!"

  The breeze blew the window screens of the greenhouse, and the words trembled in the air, as if responding: "Words have no boundaries, and righteousness is self-contained; but the Sealing Order will eventually be - the light of Prose, illuminating the darkness."

  The night is deep, and the battle of words is getting more and more intense.
