Chapter 1172: Under the Surface

Front.

Reverse side.

Side.

Inclined plane.

Edges......

Richard fiddled with the blood-colored seal, trying to discern a clue to the secret and how the legendary wizard Soros hid his knowledge and wealth in the seal.

However, after watching it for more than ten minutes, I didn't find anything useful.

In other words, is this seal really hiding a secret, or is it a fake secret?

Richard couldn't help frowning, suspicious of the seal in his hand.

Seriously, if you really want to hide something, stamps are not a good option, after all, stamps are so small that they can't think of any other suitable use than being able to print specific graphics......

Wait!

Richard suddenly thought of something and discovered a blind spot in his previous thinking.

Turning the seal slowly, squinting at some of the faint bumps at the bottom of the seal, Richard raised an eyebrow.

"Have I been overcomplicating things all along?" Richard muttered.

I really don't rule out this possibility.

After obtaining the Blood Seal, he conducted a lot of research and testing, trying to figure out the mystery of the Blood Seal, but there was only one thing he did not do, and that was to make the Blood Seal fulfill its supposed function - to print a pre-carved figure.

Printed graphic ......

Richard silently read these four words in his heart, showed a slightly self-deprecating smile, and said softly: "If the secret is really so simple to hide in the open, then it can only be said that sometimes thinking too much is not a good thing." ”

"Whew-"

Richard exhaled lightly, without being verbose, quickly found the red dye used in the seal, dyed it on the underside of the seal, and then pressed the seal firmly against a piece of white paper.

After pressing it for a full second, Richard picked up the seal, gently placed it next to it, and looked at the pattern that appeared on the white paper.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he found that the pattern was a sentence, and the words were arranged very compactly, like a proverb, and like a clue: My most precious thing has been displayed in front of you, but the premise of finding it is not to be confused by appearances - Soros.

“...... The most precious thing...... Front...... The premise of finding it is, don't be fooled by appearances?" Richard repeated the words in a puzzled tone, his expression slightly complicated.

On the one hand, it is now certain that the Blood Seal does not simply put the secret in the open, so that there is not too much chagrin. On the other hand, it seems that there is not much progress in the search for secrets, and the current clues are still interrupted.

"This ......"

Richard pursed his lips and looked at the words printed on the paper over and over again, thinking about what information was hidden in them.

"Is it a metaphor?"

"Is it a word riddle?"

"Is it a special password?"

"Or is it a deliberately misleading trap?"

Richard continued to ponder, his eyes continued to stare at the words on the paper, and after a few minutes, his eyes blinked because of dryness, and his mouth said something abrupt: "Huh?"

In the blink of an eye, he was somewhat keenly aware that the words printed on the paper seemed to be a little imperfect—some parts of the text were darker in color, and some parts were lighter in color.

If it's just a few cases, it can be blamed on the bad quality of the stamp, it's not a big deal. However, he found that this change was regular, like a pattern.

Could it be that the printed text is not a simple text, and there is still a message hidden on each word?

Thinking of this, Richard's eyes lit up, and without hesitation, he grabbed the blood-colored seal placed next to him and walked out. I walked to the research room in the machining sector, and prepared to enlarge the pattern at the bottom of the blood-colored seal, so that I could see what was hidden.

This job may be a bit troublesome for the rest of the people, but for him, it is too simple.

After all, the previous manufacture of the "glove of destruction" was to use photolithography technology to manufacture chips in batches. If you can use light to cast a huge stencil pattern onto a magic chip the size of a fingernail, then conversely, why is it difficult to turn a pattern the size of a fingernail into a template?

In less than half an hour, Richard had already completed the work, clearly and accurately printing the pattern on the bottom of the blood-colored seal on a huge piece of paper one meter square.

I can see that the paper is densely packed with small characters!

The blood-colored seal that looks ordinary is on the bottom pattern, and an extremely unpopular micro-carving technique is used to carve out hundreds of words, and then these words are used to arrange them, so as to form the sentence I first saw: My most precious thing has been displayed in front of you, but the premise of finding it is not to be confused by appearances - Soros.

"Don't be fooled by appearances, that's what it means. Richard muttered to himself, raising his eyes to the text, ready to see what Soros had said, and then his expression suddenly became a little exciting.

There are a lot of words printed on the paper, which are very beautiful, full of artistic atmosphere, and very pleasing to the eye.

However, there is a small awkward problem with these words, and that is that he does not recognize them.

Yes, he doesn't know.

He was able to identify the types of words, but he could not discern the meaning of each word.

The characters on the paper, "Guswen", are known for their beautiful fonts, which were once popular among nobles and wizards, and were regarded as status symbols.

It's one thing to just have beautiful fonts, and it's another thing to have a high learning threshold.

Because it was difficult to spread this kind of elegant writing on a wide scale, as time passed, fewer and fewer people mastered it, and it has almost disappeared now.

The legendary wizard Soros deliberately wrote down his secret in "Gusven", which should be to show his knowledge and noble status, but this caused him a lot of trouble.

Richard tapped on the table, thinking slowly.

Speaking of which, with his ability, it is possible to grasp the meaning of "Gusiwen" and decipher the meaning of words from scratch, but it will take several months.

This is obviously a bit long, he can't afford to wait, the best thing to do is to ask someone who is proficient in "Gusven" to help crack it.

Considering that the text on the paper is not low, it is better to be more reliable for the person who invites it, so that there will be no follow-up trouble.

Coincidentally, in Faro City, he really knew such an acquaintance.

That...... Without further ado?

With a mental decision, Richard quickly put away the paper on which the words were written and walked out. He walked out of the Garden of Eden and came into the courtyard above ground.

With his feet on the soil of the courtyard, Richard subconsciously looked up at the sky and saw a sky full of stars and bright stars.

"It's already night......" Richard paused for a moment, and hesitated slightly, "At this time, wouldn't it be good to disturb?"

"But...... It doesn't seem to be very late, so it might not be too much to bother. ”

"In that case, well......"

As the words fell, Richard nodded and walked out of the courtyard.
