Liang En still had some expectations for the gift of the local tyrant, after all, many of the information he had seen before showed the generosity of the group of Middle Eastern tyrants in terms of gift-giving.

It's just that what Liang En didn't expect was that the gift he got from the butler who came the next day was not a golden thing, but a book that looked quite old, and it didn't look as gorgeous as a local tyrant's gift.

As for the other party to give such a gift, it is also very simple, because what happened before made them think that Liang En is a historian, and Liang En has repeatedly claimed that he makes jewelry for inspiration from history.

Therefore, in their eyes, sending this kind of ancient document to Liang En is a way to do it, which is why Liang En now has such a book in front of him.

"What's going on with this book?" Isabella looked at the old book in front of her with some curiosity, she could feel that it was an old book, but that was all.

"This is a very interesting book." After closing the curtains and putting on gloves and carefully flipping through a few pages, Liang En's originally somewhat casual expression suddenly became serious.

Although it looks like a book at first glance, when Liang En opened and read a part, he found that it was a record of Paris, France in the 14th ~ early 15th centuries.

There is no doubt that this is a very niche and off-the-beaten-path document that may only be of interest to those who study Renaissance cities, but Liang found some interesting records in it.

This record tells the story of a wealthy scribe named Nicholas Flamel, who was a celebrity who donated 14 hospitals, 7 cathedrals and 3 chapels.

Liang En's attention was immediately drawn to the past, because this man could be said to be the most famous in later generations - he was the first alchemist to create the Philosopher's Stone.

According to legend, Nicolamet was born into a small merchant family, and when he came of age, he opened a copy shop on the Avenue Scrivener, next to the church of Saint-Jacques, in Paris.

If there were no accidents, he would have spent his life as an ordinary man, but that all changed one day in 1357. On this day he dreamed that the archangel Gabriel had given him a book and told him that it contained the knowledge of God.

Coincidentally, a few days later, a customer came to his store, probably a thief, who stole a book from nowhere and was in a hurry to sell, and the book in the other person's hand was the one he had read in his dream.

So the moment he saw the book, Nicol Lemay did not hesitate to buy it with two gold florin coins.

The cover of the book is not made of leather, but brass, with very delicate patterns and borders, and the contents of the book are written in Latin, but the words on the brass cover are unknown to Nicolamet, who he suspects is Greek or possibly Hebrew.

As for the title page of the book, it reads: "Abraham, Jew, prince, priest, astrologer, wise saint, dedicated to his fellow Jews in exile in Gaul."

Nicolame called the book: "The Book of Abraham the Jew."

In order to understand the contents of the book, he and his wife traveled to Santiago, Spain. Morality. Compostela and met a mystical rabbi who had converted to Catholicism to interpret the contents of the book.

Eventually, after 21 years of preparation, Nicholas finally made the alchemy stone on April 25, 1382, and successfully converted mercury into gold.

The problem, however, is that the actual historical records are likely to have been fabricated by later generations, and since at least the 18th century, it has been believed that these legends came from a publisher named Arnault in 1612. Look at the book

The publisher published a book purportedly written by Nicholas Flamel to record these stories, and made up more stories to sell the book.

This determination is made by two pieces of evidence, one of which is that Nicolas Flammel's wife was a twice-widowed but wealthy widow, who was a devout Catholic and had no children, so the donation was large

There is nothing strange about pen fortunes.

On the other hand, the Book of Abraham the Jew first appeared in 1458, long after the death of Nicholas Flammel, by a German named Abraham named Worms.

But now the information in Liang En's hands completely contradicts these accepted information. Because at the end of the record it is written, Nicholas Flamel is working on a book called The Book of Hieroglyphs.

Judging from the content of this text, it is very likely that the recorder knew Nicolas Flamel, so he wrote down such a simple sentence at the end.

"This book can't be fake, right?" After listening to Liang En's explanation, Isabella also showed a thoughtful expression, and then looked at the book.

"No, this is what the royal family bought at a regular auction before, there is enough evidence to prove that these are antiques, and I have also sensed it with spiritual power, and there is really no problem with the vintage."

Because he had been groping for the creation of fake antiques as an argument, Liang En learned the trick of using spiritual power to identify the vintage of antiques. Through identification, he was able to confirm that the time when the record was created coincided with the time when Nicholas lived.

In other words, this record was recorded while the Nicholas was alive, but the contents are exactly the same as what everyone accepted to be fabricated hundreds of years later, so there is much more to study here.

Liang En guessed that the local tyrant royal family gave him this gift is most likely related to this record, after all, the character he created before is a person who likes to solve historical mysteries, and there are indeed some things worth exploring in this document.

"If that's the case, then these clues are really worth digging up." Isabella gave a look of understanding. "If it goes well, we might be able to unearth some hidden history, or even some otherworldly existence."

Ever since the last time she found the Illusion Gem from the ruins of Assasin's castle, Isabella has been interested in the legends that have to do with the supernatural or magical.

In a world where supernatural powers are almost non-existent, supernatural powers often give those who use them an unparalleled advantage, so if they study history carefully, they will always find clues to those supernatural powers.

It's just that there are too many such legends, and the truth and falsehood are mixed together. So much so that it is difficult to sift through the vast number of legends to find what you need.

Therefore, after discovering such a corroborating clue, Isabella immediately remembered if she could use this as a breakthrough to investigate the truth behind the legend of the famous alchemist.

"You're right, and Paris isn't far from us." Liang En thought for a moment and said. "I've been spending some time lately, so we'll be in Paris tomorrow."

"After all, their home still exists today, and we can go over there and investigate if there are any traces of supernatural power."
