"Putting aside the origin of Divine Script, what really makes me curious is its relationship with Nen," Ronin continued.
Now that he had finally found someone who understood Divine Script, he naturally intended to ask every question he had.
"Divine Script really does have many mysterious qualities when paired with Nen. It feels as though this writing system was created specifically to be used together with Nen. But I don't actually know that much about it.
"The Association and V5 probably have more research on it, but obtaining those results isn't simple. At least, I wasn't able to do it while I was still in Lake Mobius," Ging said, his tone carrying a hint of regret.
Then his tone shifted.
"If you get the chance to go back, you can ask Pyon about it. She's currently responsible for investigating and interpreting ancient texts in the Association, and Divine Script is naturally included in that field."
Ronin nodded.
"If I get the chance."
His tone was somewhat perfunctory. After all, judging from the current situation, when he would choose to return to Lake Mobius was still unknown.
As for Pyon, he did know of her.
One of the Hunter Association's Twelve Zodiacs, codenamed Rabbit. She was a Paleograph Hunter, a linguist, and a translator.
Normally, she wore a rabbit-ear headband on her head, and her phone almost never left her hand.
Unfortunately, Ronin had no connection with most of the Twelve Zodiacs, so naturally, he had never interacted with Pyon.
Ging also heard the perfunctory tone in Ronin's voice, but there was nothing he could say about it.
"By the way, judging from your tone, are you interested in Divine Script?" Ging asked probingly.
"Yes," Ronin admitted decisively.
Even Kurapika, who was beside him, nodded.
"Can you teach us? We don't need to master the relationship between Divine Script and Nen. We just need to be able to recognize this writing."
"Of course." Ging was very generous.
There was nothing else in this ruin that could arouse Ronin's curiosity.
As for the Gold and Silver Ingot blueprints stored inside those computer-like devices, Ronin photographed all of them with a camera.
Once he mastered Divine Script and could understand the blueprints, perhaps he would find a way to create his own Gold and Silver Ingots.
In addition, he also had some ideas about this floating island.
"Do you think the control program for the Gold and Silver Ingots might be inside this 'computer'?" Ronin tried operating the strange device.
Gradually, he discovered that using this thing was not that different from using a computer.
But because he could not read the writing, finding what he wanted inside it was rather difficult.
So he simply turned his gaze toward Ging.
Ging walked over helplessly and began carefully searching through the "computer."
Hard work paid off.
On the third day Ronin's group stayed on the floating island, Ging finally found a program inside the "computer." At the same time, he also learned how to control the floating island, and even how to control the Gold and Silver Ingots created on the island.
"Yes. As long as you touch this spot and inject Nen into it, you'll become the new master of this island."
At this moment, in front of Ronin, there was a round pillar.
The pillar seemed to run through the entire island, and its location seemed to be the very center of the island.
The place Ging told him to touch was a platform protruding from the pillar.
Ronin trusted Ging greatly, so he directly placed his hand on the platform and began injecting Nen into it.
Ging pressed a spot beside the platform, and the next second, a small operating interface popped out. Divine Script was written on it as well.
But even without understanding it, one could roughly tell that it was a permissions interface.
Gradually, Ronin felt his Nen being rapidly absorbed by the pillar.
This situation lasted for about half an hour.
Nearly half of Ronin's Nen was absorbed.
Only after Ging said, "It's done," did Ronin feel the pillar stop absorbing his Nen.
"From now on, the Gold and Silver Ingots born on the floating island won't attack you anymore. They'll even obey your orders," Ging said confidently.
Then he seemed to think of something.
"Oh, right. When issuing commands, you have to use the Divine Language."
"You know it?" Ronin naturally understood what Divine Language meant.
It was the spoken version of Divine Script.
"No." Ging shrugged.
"So now we have another task: find the spoken version of Divine Script on the Dark Continent and learn it," Ronin said helplessly.
"Correct. After all, Chairman Netero only brought back the writing. He didn't bring back any tapes," Ging said with some helplessness. "So the scholars within Lake Mobius only understand the meaning of Divine Script. And even that understanding may not be completely accurate."
"All right. Speaking of which, isn't it in the computer?" Ronin continued asking.
By now, they had completely started calling the device that recorded the blueprints a computer.
Because they had discovered that the thing really did run on electricity.
And the source of that electrical power was a pool on the lowest level of the building.
Beneath that pool were pieces of blue stone about the size of pebbles. The thing supplying electricity to the entire ruin was this small pool.
So the name of those blue stones was obvious.
Unmanned Stone.
There were over a hundred stones in this pool by rough estimate. Who knew how long they could supply energy to the ruin?
In addition, the water in the pool was also the reason the dark clouds below existed.
At the edge of the pool were eight dragon-head decorations. Each dragon head held a droplet-like bead in its mouth.
Water flowed out from those droplets.
And the name of those droplets was also obvious at a glance.
Trinity Elixir.
As for why the Trinity Elixir kept creating water nonstop, it seemed to be because something had gone wrong with the pool. There was no longer any restriction on the electricity created when the Unmanned Stones were soaked in water. The electricity had become a charger for the beads, causing them to continuously produce water.
The water overflowed the pool and entered the drainage channels. It seemed the builders of this place had long anticipated that such a situation might occur.
So after the water flowed into the sewer and passed through a special gate, when it was discharged, it had already directly transformed into rolling dark clouds.
"This floating island was also responsible for traveling to various regions and irrigating drought-stricken areas," Ging said, having already read and understood the information in the computer. "But now this irrigation system has been left running continuously, so naturally, it has turned into endless torrential rain."
"How do we fix this place?" Ronin asked.
For now, he still did not know how long the Unmanned Stones in the pool could continue releasing electricity, and the Trinity Elixir's ability to create water seemed almost infinite.
But Ronin had already regarded these things as his own.
So, in line with the principle of not wasting resources, he wanted to repair this floating island as soon as possible.
