Li Cha kept fiddling with the bloody seal, trying to see some clues to the hidden secrets, trying to figure out how the legendary wizard Soros hid knowledge and wealth in the seal.

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

In other words, does this seal really hide a secret, or is it a fake one?

Li Cha couldn't help frowning, doubting the seal in his hand.

Seriously speaking, if you really want to hide something, the seal is not a good option, after all, the seal is so small, besides being able to print specific graphics, it is completely unexpected that there are other suitable uses

uh wait

Li Cha suddenly thought of something and discovered a blind spot in his thinking.

Slowly turning the seal, squinting at some faint bumps at the bottom of the seal, Li Cha raised his eyebrows.

"Could it be that I've been overcomplicating things?" Li Cha murmured.

Can't really rule out that possibility.

After getting the Scarlet Seal, he conducted a lot of research and testing, trying to figure out the mystery of the Scarlet Seal, but there was only one thing he didn't do, that was to make the Scarlet Seal realize its supposed function and print out Graphics drawn in advance.

printed graphics

Li Cha silently read these four words in his heart, showing a slightly self-deprecating smile, and said softly, "If the secret is really so simple and hidden in the open, then it can only be said that sometimes thinking too much is not a secret. Good thing."

"call"

Li Cha let out a sigh of relief, quickly found out the red dye used in the stamp, dyed it on the bottom of the stamp, and then pressed the stamp firmly on a piece of white paper.

After pressing for a full second, Li Cha picked up the seal, placed it gently beside him, and looked at the pattern that appeared on the white paper.

Eyes narrowed slightly,

He found that the pattern was a sentence, and the words were arranged very compactly, like a proverb, and also like a clue. My most precious thing has been displayed in front of you, but the prerequisite for finding it is not to be caught Appearances confuse Soros.

"The premise of finding it in front of the most precious thing is not to be confused by appearances." Li Cha repeated the words in a doubtful tone, with a slightly complicated expression.

On the one hand, it can now be confirmed that the Scarlet Seal did not put the secret in a very simple and aboveboard place, so there is no need to worry too much. On the other hand, just finding a sentence with no clear meaning, it seems that there is not much progress in exploring the secret, and the current clue is still interrupted.

"this"

Li Cha pursed his lips, looked at the words printed on the paper over and over again, and thought over and over again what information was hidden in it.

"is a metaphor"

"It's a word riddle"

"It's a special password"

"Or, it is a trap deliberately used to mislead"

Li Cha kept thinking, his eyes continued to stare at the words on the paper. After a few minutes, his eyes blinked because of dryness, and he said "hey" abruptly from his mouth.

In the blink of an eye, he noticed a little keenly that the characters printed on the paper seemed to have some imperfect characters, some parts of which were darker in color, and some parts were lighter in color.

If it's just a few cases, it can be blamed on bad stamp quality, no big deal. However, he found that this change is regular, like a pattern.

Could it be that the printed text is not a simple text, and there is information hidden in each word.

Thinking of this, Li Cha's eyes lit up, without hesitation, he grabbed the bloody seal that was placed beside him, and walked out. Walking towards the research room of the mechanical processing sector, I was going to enlarge the pattern on the bottom of the bloody seal to see what was hidden.

This job may be a bit troublesome for others, but for him, it is too simple.

After all, the previous manufacturing of the "gloves of extermination" was to use photolithography technology to mass-produce chips. Since the huge stencil pattern can be projected onto a fingernail-sized spell chip with light, then in turn, how difficult is it to turn the nail-sized pattern into a stencil?

In less than half an hour, Li Cha had already completed the work, clearly and accurately printing the pattern at the bottom of the scarlet seal on a huge piece of paper one meter square.

It can be seen that the paper is densely packed with small characters

The seemingly ordinary blood-colored seal, on the bottom pattern, unexpectedly used an extremely unpopular micro-carving technique to carve out hundreds of words, and then arranged these words to form the sentence I saw at first My most precious thing has been displayed in front of you, but the prerequisite for finding it is not to be fooled by appearances.

"Don't be confused by the appearance, so that's what it means." Li Cha said to himself, raised his eyes to look at the text, and was about to see what Soros said, and then his expression suddenly became a little exciting.

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

However, there is a small embarrassing problem with these words, that is, he doesn't know them.

Yes, he does not know.

He could determine the type of writing, but could not identify the meaning of each individual word.

The words on the paper are "Ancient Siwen", famous for their beautiful fonts, once popular among nobles and wizards, and regarded as a status symbol.

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

This kind of elegant writing, because it is difficult to popularize in a wide range, so as time goes by, fewer and fewer people master it, and it is almost lost until now.

Soros, the legendary wizard, deliberately wrote down his secrets in "ancient script", probably to show his profound knowledge and noble status, but this has brought him a lot of trouble.

Li Cha tapped on the table, thinking slowly.

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

This is obviously a bit long, he can't wait, the best way is to ask someone who is proficient in "Old Syllabic" to help decipher it.

Considering the value of the words on the paper, it is better to hire a more reliable person, so that there will be no follow-up troubles.

It was a coincidence that he actually knew such an acquaintance in Faro City.

it's not too late

Making a decision in his mind, Li Cha quickly put away the paper with words on it and walked out. Walked out of the Garden of Eden and came to the courtyard on the ground.

Stepping on the soil of the courtyard with both feet, Li Cha subconsciously raised his head to look at the sky, and saw the sky full of stars, shining brightly.

"It's already night." Li Cha froze for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Isn't it good to disturb you at this time?"

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

"In that case, okay"

After the words fell, Li Cha nodded and walked out of the courtyard.
