Laplace: "That's what I mean, but before changing, I want to ask you a question."
Jotta nodded respectfully: "Excuse me, sir."
Laplace pointed to the last sentence of the introduction to "The Art of Blackness" and asked: "If there is a secret in a book, there are many ways to find it."
"But judging from your annotations, it seems that you haven't found the secret of "The Art of Blackness"?"
Jota nodded subconsciously: "Yes."
Laplace: "Since you didn't find the secret, why did you directly add this sentence? If you added this sentence, does that mean that you actually discovered that there is something wrong with this book?"
Jota recalled for a moment and said: "This... I don't know either."
Laplace looked at Jotta with indifferent eyes: "You don't know? Or are you unwilling to say it?"
Jotta waved his hand quickly: "I really don't know. I have read the original version of "The Art of Blackness", but I didn't find any secrets in it..."
Angel: "Then why did you add this sentence?"
Jotta: "I didn't add this, but the giant city spirit added it."
Giant City Spirit Laplace and Angel looked at each other.
Angel's voice came from the psychic belt: "He is telling the truth."
Through super-perception, Angel can roughly judge that Jota's words were sincere. He may not have noticed anything unusual, and it was the Giant City Spirit who really noticed something was wrong.
Angel thought for a while and said to Jotta: "Can you help us ask the giant city spirit why it added this sentence?"
Jotta hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, please wait a moment."
Jota walked to one side and drew a six-pointed star pattern on the ground with his scepter. Then his whole body was surrounded by the light of the six-pointed star, and Jota's eyes gradually closed.
About three to five minutes later, Jota opened his eyes and walked out of the six-pointed star formation.
"I just asked the giant city spirit, and it said that there is indeed something wrong in this book." Jotta stepped forward and said quickly.
"Is there really a secret?!" Angel was stunned.
Jotta was more conservative this time: "Whether it's secret or not, even the Giant City Spirit doesn't know."
Because this did not involve the actual content of "The Art of Blackness", Jota did not hide anything and explained the information he had obtained from the Giant City Spirit in detail.
According to the giant city spirit, the person who discovered the secret of "Black Art" was actually someone from the Tooth Fairy Ancient Ruins.
They found that there were a lot of blank spaces inside the books. It looked like there were hidden words hidden inside.
This made them feel very strange, so they used some divination methods to see if there was really a hidden text...
The results of the divination are very vague... there does seem to be hidden text.
But how to activate and open these hidden words, divination has not yielded specific results.
The Mirror Sea scholars have done many experiments, which took many years, but they were unable to make the hidden text appear, so they had to give up in the end...
Later, this book was photographed by a Jingmu tribesman, and he studied it for a while, but still found nothing. After that tribesman died, he gave "The Art of Blackness" to the Giant City Spirit.
After the Giant City Spirit researched it, he placed the book in the Exhibition Hall of Curiosities.
After listening to Jota's introduction, Angel's eyes flashed with trance.
In the psychic belt, he sighed to Laplace: "Sure enough, you are right."
There are many smart people, but he is not the only one who thinks of using prophecy.
Moreover, others have actually used divination and really divined things. However, even if they know there is a hidden text and have no means to activate it, they can only look at it.
Angel: "But having said that, I am surprised that the people from the Tooth Fairy Ancient Ruins dared to put it up for auction even though they knew it contained hidden text."
"If these hidden texts are valuable, wouldn't it be a loss if they were sold at a low price?"
After hearing Angel's message, Laplace said calmly: "Generally speaking, these hidden texts hidden in the blank spaces of books basically explain the things recorded in the text."
"You can interpret it as...your thoughts or notes after reading."
Just like a handbook recording spells, the main text contains the concepts and control methods of the spells, while the blank spaces may contain some practice experiences and practice techniques left by the author of the handbook.
Precisely because the cryptic texts left blank were mostly explanations of existing knowledge in the book; in addition, they really could not figure out how to open the cryptic texts.
That’s why Tooth Fairy Ancient Market is willing to sell it.
Not only is he selling "The Art of Blackness", but he is also selling the premium of the unknown hidden text.
