Wang Rou's mind was drawn elsewhere when ZhenXi opened the door to another room. Leaving his fuchen in the main room for now, Wang Rou picked up his sword and followed He had seen things that were much worse than this, but the idea that his "little brother" was working out of such a place was... shocking, to say the least.
"You can't read this?" he asked, glancing over the symbols painted in blood on the walls.
They seemed fairly clear to him. There were a few that left him at a loss, but for the most part he could understand the general idea. Because of this, he assumed it was some ancient language native to TianShi. After all, he had studied the history of this kingdom since he was a child. This included past ruling sects and their dialects dating back centuries.
But if this was an alphabet native to the region, Lu ZhenXi should also have studied it. So it wasn't from TianShi? Then how could Wang Rou read it? Any other dialects from the surrounding areas would also be known to the both of them, as they have had the same language studies growing up.
"What language is this?" Wang Rou inquired, struggling with the desire to run his fingers over the characters. They almost seemed to call out to him.
