Chapter 4041: Sacred Numbers
Conquer the northern coast of the sea, Troyes.
In the inn, Dorothy sat on her seat, thinking seriously about how to fight against the Cretaceous gargoyle. If the information she got from Beverly before was correct, it would not be so easy for her to fight against these guys alone, so she had to think of a better way.
"Tsk... Mainly because time is tight and I don't have much time to prepare. Otherwise, things would be much easier..."
Dorothy thought to herself that if there was enough time, she could find a way to get someone over. Now, whether it was Vanya or Nefernis, as long as one of them was here, things would be much easier.
"Time is tight, manpower is limited, and the task is heavy. Things are a bit difficult..."
Dorothy rubbed her temples in distress, then she decided not to think about it for the time being, and instead do other things first, and read the few biographies she bought today.
For the sake of caution, Dorothy did not read the three manuals she bought immediately after discovering the Taoist symbol on them. Instead, she waited until all the people who were chasing her were dealt with and the general situation of the matter was clarified before she decided to read the three manuals and extract spirituality from them.
Dorothy picked up a few tattered books from the small table next to her seat. Dorothy just tore off the back cover with the Taoist symbol printed on it and gave it to Even Trap. She had kept these three volumes of scriptures with her all the time. Now she was going to read all of them and extract spirituality. Only when she had enough spirituality could she fight against those members of the Dark Gold Society in the future.
Dorothy took up the first biography and began to read it. She soon finished the first one.
…
The first biography has no name. It is a note written by a tomb robber named Berard after he had conducted tomb robbing in northern Ufrica. This note records his research on the structures and traps of various tombs in northern Ufrica.
In these notes, Berard summarized his many years of experience in tomb robbing, analyzed the architectural structures of various tombs in northern Ufrica, and cited many examples. He focused on introducing some ancient tombs with deadly mechanisms, and described in detail the operation and cracking methods of various traps such as quicksand, falling rocks, trap boards, crossbows, sealed walls, etc., and also attached his own hand-drawn example drawings, which can be said to be very detailed.
All in all, this can be said to be a guide to tomb robbers, the result of a tomb robber's great efforts in research in order to find treasures. These studies focus on the mechanisms in ancient tombs. It is a manual of robbing, and if a tomb robber can read it and apply it, he will be able to deal with various mechanisms in the ancient tombs more easily.
Of course, the legendary author Berard also said in the biography that being able to deal with mechanisms skillfully does not mean that a person can break into the Beiwu ancient tombs at will. These ancient tombs contain not only mechanisms, but also various dangerous spirits, creatures, and curses. The dangers of these things are only stronger than the mechanisms.
…
'Another tomb robber's notebook... In addition to the grandfather of the Neveu family, there are still tomb robbers who like to record. They are not just rough and unrefined. Some people like to do some research... That's right, people who don't like to think can't survive in an environment full of dangers.'
After reading this first biography, Dorothy thought in her heart, and then she extracted the spirituality from this biography and gained 3 points of "Stone" and 1 point of "Inspiration".
After extracting the spirituality from the first biography, Dorothy picked up the second biography and began to read it. However, just after she opened the first page and read the first paragraph on the page, her brows frowned slightly.
The handwriting on the second biography was unexpectedly the same as that on the first one. After noticing this, Dorothy immediately began to carefully examine the first biography. In the end, she found that the two biographies were written by the same person, the tomb robber Berard.
"Both biographies were written by the same person... Did I buy a set of books? This Berard is quite diligent. He has written two biographies. Could he also write the third one?"
While thinking this, Dorothy casually flipped through the third biography. After turning two pages, she saw that the handwriting was obviously the same as the previous two. These three biographies were all written by the same person, and they were all works of the tomb robber Berard.
"My goodness, they really bought a whole set of works by this author. It seems that these three books are all placed in one place. When I asked for them, they took them all at once..."
Dorothy thought so, then she put the third biography in her hand back and began to look at the first biography carefully.
…
The author of this first biography is naturally the tomb robber Berard, and this biography is also written by him, but it has many differences from the previous one.
Dorothy discovered that this notebook seemed to be written much later than the previous one. In this notebook, Berard's handwriting was neater, and he used a wider range of words and phrases, which were more appropriate and sophisticated. It seemed that his writing skills were much higher than the previous one. This seemed to be the result of years of accumulation. Berard was older when he wrote this notebook. In terms of content, this notebook was not purely about the study of tomb mechanisms, but about the ancient architecture of northern Ukraine.
Dorothy could see that in this first notebook, the key point of Berard's research had changed. It was no longer simply the mechanisms inside the ancient tomb, but more about the architectural structure of the ancient tomb itself, and even the various types of buildings in the various ruins of Beiwu. The purpose of these studies seemed no longer to be for treasures, but simply an interest in these things.
Dorothy could clearly see that Berard, a Japanese tomb robber, seemed to have gradually become interested in the tomb itself while studying its mechanisms, and then gradually expanded his interest to the architecture of the entire northern Ukrainian ancient civilization. In his notes, he constantly marveled at the amazing creations of the ancient Ufica people. After seeing all kinds of amazing things, he developed a great interest in the architectural style of the ancient Ufica civilization. This first notebook was the result of Berard's research after traveling to architectural ruins all over northern Ukrainian.
…
"Damn... the tomb robber became a scholar by studying the mechanism. From studying the mechanism of the ancient tomb to studying the architecture of ancient civilization, this transformation is quite big... can this be considered as learning to change one's destiny..."
After reading the first biography, Dorothy thought so in her heart. After evaluating the tomb robber named Berard with great interest, she began to extract the spirituality from the biography.
Dorothy obtained 4 points of "Stone" and 2 points of "Inspiration" from this first notebook.
After extracting the spirit, Dorothy put the first biography aside, and then picked up the third biography, also from Berard. After reading it for a while, Dorothy's expression became more and more solemn.
…
These three biographical notebooks of Berard seem to have been written after the first one. In this notebook, Berard's language has completely become that of a scholar. It is difficult for people to imagine from the words in this notebook that the owner of this notebook was once a tomb robber.
