Richard kept fiddling with the blood-red seal, trying to see some clues to the hidden secrets, trying to see how the legendary wizard Soros hid knowledge and wealth in the seal.

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

By the way, does this seal really hide a secret, or is it a fake one

Richard couldn't help but frown, becoming suspicious of the seal in his hand.

Seriously speaking, if you really want to hide something, a seal is not a good option. After all, the seal is so small. Apart from being able to print specific graphics, I can't think of any other suitable uses...

Um? Wait!

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

Slowly turning the seal, squinting at some faint bumps and convexities at the bottom of the seal, Richard raised his eyebrows.

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

I really can't rule out this possibility.

After getting 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 had not done, and that was to make the Blood Seal realize the function it was supposed to perform - printing. Create graphics that have been drawn in advance.

Print graphics…

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

"call-"

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

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

Squinting his eyes slightly, he discovered that the pattern was a sentence, and the words were arranged very compactly, like a proverb and a clue: My most precious thing has been displayed in front of you, but I want to find it. The premise is, don’t be fooled by appearances - Soros.

"...The most precious thing...in front of you...the prerequisite for finding it is not to be fooled by appearances?" Richard repeated the words in a puzzled tone, with a slightly complicated expression.

On the one hand, it is now certain that the Bloody Seal did not simply put the secret in an open and aboveboard place, so there is no need to worry too much. On the other hand, just finding an unknown sentence seems to have made little progress in exploring the secret, and the current clues are still in a state of interruption.

"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 trap deliberately used to mislead?"

Richard kept thinking, his eyes continuing to stare at the words on the paper. After a few minutes, his eyes blinked due to dryness, and he said suddenly: "Huh?"

In the blink of an eye, he keenly noticed that the words printed on the paper seemed a little imperfect - some parts of the words were darker and some parts were lighter.

If it's just a few cases, it can be attributed to poor seal quality and it's no big deal. However, he found that this change was regular, like a pattern.

Could it be that the printed words are not just simple words? There is information hidden in each word.

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

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

After all, the previous production of "World-Destroying Gloves" relied on photolithography technology to mass-produce chips. Since you can use light to project a huge template pattern onto a spell chip the size of a fingernail, how difficult is it to turn a pattern the size of a fingernail into a template

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

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

The seemingly ordinary blood-colored seal actually used the extremely unpopular micro-carving technology on the bottom pattern to carve out hundreds or thousands of words, and then used these words to arrange them to form the sentence I first saw. : My most precious thing has been displayed in front of you, but the prerequisite for finding it is not to be fooled by the appearance - Soros.

"Don't be fooled by the appearance. That's what it means." Richard said to himself, looking up at the text, ready to see what Soros said, and then his expression suddenly became wonderful.

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

However, there was a small embarrassing problem with these words, that is, he didn't recognize them.

Yes, he doesn't know it.

He can determine the type of text, but cannot identify the specific meaning of each word.

The words on the paper are "Ancient Siwen", which is famous for its beautiful handwriting. It was once popular among nobles and wizards and was regarded as a symbol of status.

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

Because it is difficult to popularize this elegant writing on a wide scale, as time goes by, fewer and fewer people have mastered it, and it is almost lost now.

The legendary wizard Thoros deliberately wrote secrets in "Old Simplified Chinese" to show his profound knowledge and noble status, but this brought him a lot of trouble.

Richard tapped the table and thought slowly.

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

This was obviously a long time, and he couldn't afford to wait. The best way was to ask someone who was proficient in "Old Simplified Chinese" to help decipher it.

Considering that the words on the paper are of high value, it is best to hire someone who is reliable so that there will be no subsequent trouble.

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

So... without further ado

After making a decision in his mind, Richard quickly put away the paper with the text on it and walked out. Walking out of the Garden of Eden, we came to the courtyard on the ground.

With his feet stepping on the soil of the courtyard, Richard subconsciously looked up at the sky and saw that the sky was full of stars and the stars were shining brightly.

"It's already dark..." Richard was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said, "Wouldn't it be bad to disturb me at this time?"

"But...it doesn't seem to be very late. Maybe it's not too much to bother me."

"In that case, okay..."

After saying this, Richard nodded and walked out of the courtyard.
