183 Secrets hidden in the book
readx;? When Ian returned to his room, it was late at night, and he collapsed on the cot with exhaustion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThere were so many things going on in one day today, so much that it made his head flutter. The crew brought him dinner shortly after, and he had little appetite, but after a hasty meal, he felt much better.
Now before him, there are the following questions:
The sea monster that slaughtered Shaibei is the sea monkey that he has encountered today. Intuitively, Ian still believes that it is a sea monkey. But Vincent's experience cannot be ignored, so if the sea monsters are sea monkeys, then how did they land in the sea shell? If the sea monsters are not sea monkeys, then what are they, and why can't even Vincent deduce them?
Second, who is the man I dreamed about twice, whether it is real or imagined by myself. Ian vaguely felt that his ability to see him might have something to do with the power of the Iliad in his body, just as he had seen El Granger when he was in Tellmis. But that's just a memory, Al Granger died ten years ago. So who is this man, and what is he trying to tell himself? What does it mean to kill him, and to be covered up with the truth?
Who is the little fat man locked up in the third warehouse? Is he really the big thief Green? Although Ian has never seen the big thief Green, just listening to the legend, it is not something that a person like the little fat man can reach. So, if he's not the thief Green, then why is he being arrested here? Conversely, if he's really the thief Green, what's the use of being locked up here.
The above three questions are currently bothering Ian the most. There were also a lot of small questions that made Ian wonder, such as who were the other two travelers besides Tim? The old man named Newman Stolan seemed to know a lot, and the woman didn't seem to be simple. And Vincent, the tall middle-aged man is even more difficult, and the criss-crossing scars on his body are not to be seen.
Mystery after mystery mingles in Ian's head. He had never had to think about so many things at the same time. He had left Alder to relax, but now he was caught up in a huge whirlpool. And now he seemed to finally understand what it meant that the sea was not a place for hunters to conquer.
"A word of advice for you, Iliad. Look at things, don't just look at the surface. ”
Ian's ears rang back to the man's words. At this time, Ian thought of something again, and quickly got up from the bed and took out the book of Albert's Fantasy Journey. It was while reading the book that he fell asleep and met the man in his dream.
The advice the man gave him would not have referred to this book? He does feel that this book is not as simple as it seems, and that the words that seem to be very incoherent are like a thin veil that seems to be able to find the truth when the veil is lifted.
Ian calmed down and reopened the book. He was determined to re-read the story from a different perspective.
Tonight's night is rare and clean, and the moonlight is particularly gentle when it spills into the room. Ian quietly looked at the book in his hand, but a strange thing flashed in his heart. It's been a long, long, long time since he's read a book in the middle of the night. Many, many years ago, he remembered that his mother loved to read late at night.
"Mom, what are you looking at?"
"Read a book. ”
"What a book. ”
"Books about, the sea. Mother Shirley looked longing, "I only had two wishes before, one was to see Ian grow up and get married, and the other was to see the legendary elf. Now there's one more, and I want to see the sea. ”
"Let you read less books written by bards, bullshit. Illin said puzzled, "Those guys will only record the best things, not the most real." ”
"So you're only interested in your alchemy. Shirley glared at Ilyin fiercely, "Boring man." ”
"Because alchemy doesn't deceive. Its true meaning is there, as long as it is through different permutations and combinations, different answers can often be obtained. Ilyin said, "Reading is boring, it's all prescribed, you can only look back from the head, you can only look from the right from the sitting, you can only look down from the top." ”
"Are you talking nonsense? How can there be a book that can be read first at the end and then at the beginning, first to the right and then to the left. Shirley said speechlessly, "Come on, you don't know the book, so let's study your alchemy." ”
"So you can't say I'm boring, those who write books are boring. Ilyin grinned, "If it were me, I'd write the ending first, and then the beginning." And whether the reader is looking from left to right or vice versa, if you read the book in different ways, you can get different stories, that's amazing, isn't it?"
"Who can do that kind of thing. ”
"Perhaps?"
For some reason, this memory was inexplicably clear in Ian's mind. This was a night his parents had been arguing about every day many years ago, after all, Shirley, who had a girl's heart, and her rigid father always had a lot of different ideas.
But Ealing's words gave Ian some inspiration at the moment.
If you read the book from different angles, you will get different stories.
Ian tries to look at the book in a different way, for example, from the first word in the first row to the first word in the second row. Ian tried again, and found that it didn't work.
Ian was a little frustrated. Could it be that there is nothing special about this book at all, it is just a very ordinary and ordinary biography, but the author's writing is terrible?
Ian still didn't want to give up like that, so he went the other way. Skip from the first word in the first row on the first page to the first word in the first row on the second page, and then the first word in the first row on the third page. After turning a few pages, he slowly held his breath.
He knew he had found the answer. The novel is only a little over a hundred pages long, and Ian quickly flipped through it and found a shocking secret from those hundred or so words.
Connecting the first words of each page is the following paragraph:
"I don't know if this secret will be discovered, I hope not, but I really don't want to take it to the grave. Especially since I've dreamed of Tony for two nights in a row, and I don't want him to die so quietly! Whoever is lucky enough to discover this secret, please keep this secret to the end, you must swear to God in your heart!"
Ian silently swore before continuing to read the next words:
"There is a monster on the island of Epilon named Nartimis. I looked up the information for a long time, and in the interior, the hunters called it the Dragon King of the Sea. ”
