The Richest Man in the Heavens Starts from Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 951 Weird
Du Yu forged an indigenous identity and sneaked into Liefeng City.

Although the soldiers guarding the city despised his countryman background, they never doubted the forged identity tag.

In this way, he successfully entered the imperial capital of the Fierce Wind Empire.

After entering the city, he first found an inn to stay in, and then began to wander around the city to observe the local customs and practices.

In order not to arouse suspicion from others, Du Yu quickly forged some gold crowns of the Liefeng Empire, and used those gold coins to buy a private courtyard that looked like it was a permanent residence.

After a period of understanding, he found that one of the distinctive professions produced by the Fierce Wind Empire - the inscriber - was very interesting.

Those people can enhance the combat effectiveness of other professionals by deciphering ancient texts and engraving them on magical artifacts.

It looks a bit like a combination of the Scribe and Enchanter in the world of Azeroth, but not exactly the same.

What interests Du Yu about this profession is the ancient characters that they study and interpret. He thinks those things may be related to the secrets of the broken world.

So he secretly collected some information and began to study inscriptions on his own.

With his mental power and soul strength, it is not difficult to learn new things, and there is no problem of lack of talent.

In less than half a year, his mastery of epigraphy had far surpassed the level of most inscription masters in the Fierce Wind Empire.

However, those ancient characters were controlled by the Inscriptionist Association and the royal family of the Fierce Wind Empire. All he could see was the public part, and at best he could only be considered a master.

It is not difficult to understand why those at the top keep the secrets of knowledge secret.

Therefore, there were only three options before him: either join the Inscriptionist Association, work for the Liefeng Royal Family, or take it "honestly" with his own means.

After careful consideration, Du Yu finally decided to play it more directly. He did not have the patience to slowly gain qualifications in the Inscriptionist Association or to make contributions to the Liefeng Royal Family.

After the decision was made, there was one more night walker in Liefeng City.

The first place he went to was the Inscriptionist Association. According to his experience in the Realm of God, the empire generally did not have as much knowledge as the relevant associations.

With his strength, he easily avoided the warning inscriptions and defensive inscriptions in the library of the Inscriptionist Association.

After sneaking into the library through a loophole, he did not reveal anything to the library but simply recorded the knowledge about ancient characters in it.

Of course, he also entered the most secret place of the Inscriptionist Association, copied down the ancient texts they collected, and recorded them in jade slips.

But just a few hundred words obviously could not meet Du Yu's needs.

He used the same old trick and sneaked into the ancestral land of the Liefeng royal family to steal the secrets collected by others.

However, his gains were also not great. The ancient characters collected by the Liefeng Royal Family were only a few hundred words, and many of them overlapped with those of the Inscriptionist Association.

All in all, Du Yu worked for a long time but still couldn't finish 500 words.

It was about the same length as a junior high school composition in the main world, which was far from what he had imagined.

"Alas, even if I crack all of you, how many secrets can I learn?" Du Yu sighed.

Although a little disappointed, he still began to study those ancient texts.

At first, he followed the ideas of the Fierce Wind Empire's inscription masters, but later he suddenly thought of the ancestral spirits he had taken under his command. So he brought Jordan Hartel back.

After seeing him, Jordan Hartel immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Master! I will listen to your teachings."

Du Yu was quite surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that the other party had the potential to become a charlatan after staying in the Kingdom of God for a period of time. However, these words sounded pleasing to the ear.

"Come and see if you recognize these characters?" He waved his hand and showed the other party the jade slips containing his collection of ancient characters.

Jordan Hartle took the jade slip and placed it on his forehead, then he probed his spiritual sense into it and began to read it carefully.

After a moment, he said, "Master, if I am not mistaken, this should be a fragment of the "Book of Warning to the World."

"Oh, what is "A Warning Book to the World"? " Du Yu asked.

"Master, actually I have never seen the real 'Book of Warnings to the World', but it was indeed a very famous book in ancient times. It's just that most people have only seen some rubbings, and I have never heard of anyone reading it through," said Jordan Hartle.

"What does it describe specifically?" Du Yu asked.

Jordan Hartel said, "It should be some secrets from the ancient times. In fact, the reason why the Book of Warnings became popular in ancient times is because its text contains a special Taoist rhyme that can increase the magic power of the tribal totem."

"Is it a description of the laws?" Du Yu asked.

"I don't know, after all, I only read a small paragraph," said Jordan Hartle.

"Why didn't you mention this before?" Du Yu asked again.

Jordan Hartel smiled awkwardly and said, "Master, this matter is really too small. In fact, in my time, people still focused on self-cultivation and did not attach much importance to such means of relying on external forces, so..."

"Sort out all the information you know about "A Warning Book" and give it to me." Du Yu said.

"As you command, my master," said Jordan Hartle.

Jordan Hartle was indeed very obedient and hardworking. After working all night for two consecutive days, he wrote down the fragments of "A Warning Book" that he had read in his youth.

Only after Du Yu got the nearly 30,000-word fragment did he send the other party back to the Kingdom of Faith.

After calming down, he began to read the contents of the fragment carefully.

But as he read more deeply into the contents of the book, his doubts grew stronger.

It’s not because the words in the book are difficult to understand. On the contrary, the contents described in these words are too familiar - they are almost identical to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" which records ancient Chinese myths and legends.

The "Warning Book" records various strange creatures, mysterious places and some incredible stories.

These contents are surprisingly similar to the records in "Classic of Mountains and Seas", which even makes people wonder whether there is some connection between the two.

The fragment he was reading was a bit like the "Classic of Mountains and Seas: Great Wilderness East Classic", which recorded many unheard-of creatures and strange stories.

What he couldn't understand was that this was clearly a travelogue introducing ancient creatures, but the text contained some kind of mysterious power.

"Is it its own power, or is it conveying some message through those words?" Du Yu guessed.
