Chapter 176: Ugarit's Book of Rituals and Sacrifices
The shelves full of books are very heavy, not to mention that the thing is made of solid mahogany, which is luxurious and luxurious, but the weight is also heavy enough. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
An Yizhi tried to push it, but the latter didn't move.
So I had to think of something else.
"If someone hides something behind the bookshelf, how does he hide it? Someone helped move the bookshelves before putting something away? β
This is a bit nonsense, since it wants to be hidden, it means that the item does not want more people to know, how can such a big movement as moving the bookshelf not be leaked.
This means that there must be a mechanism that can move the bookshelf!
An Yizhi stood in front of the problematic bookshelf and looked at it from top to bottom, as if there was no mechanism, and he tried all the parts that could be broken in the interior decoration of the book, such as vases and sculptures, but it still didn't work.
"Could it be in another room?"
An Yizhi, who couldn't find a way, couldn't help but scratch his head, knowing that there was something hidden behind but couldn't see it, which made him extremely uncomfortable with his curiosity.
If only I could use spells.
He thought.
A simple mechanism like this can explode with a single shot of unstable compound, and no matter how bad it is, you can use the Book of Fetuses to pull out Graeme and punch it, how much more ......
Wait, books?
An pointed and patted his head, he was so stupid that he had forgotten that the book mechanism was one of the most classic mechanisms.
The so-called book mechanism refers to a certain book placed on the shelf as a trigger device for the mechanism, which usually looks like a normal book, but there is a lever or thin wire attached to the back of the book, and the mechanism can be opened by picking up the book.
He lay on the floor, the prickling feel of the carpet under his cheeks, and squinted his eyes into the gap beneath the bookshelves.
Sure enough, though it was too dark to see, he still spotted a metal thread through a small hole under the bookshelf, where the mechanism was.
Turning his gaze back to the titles of the two rows of books below, he found a suspicious spot in a few moments.
"Fairy tales and constitutions put together...... It's hard not to get noticed......"
Reaching out and pulling the brick-sized law book, a trace of undetectable reaction force was fed back from his hand, and with another effort, only two soft clicks were heard, and the space in the two rows below the bookshelf suddenly opened forward, revealing the hidden space behind.
The place is not big, about two hands wide, and the forearm is so high, after all, no matter how big it is, it will be very conspicuous no matter how you swing the angle.
To Ann's surprise, what was hidden inside was not a clue or something, but a reddish-brown clay tablet.
"Is this ...... Clay tablet books? β
Before the invention of paper, early humans used different means to record writing and knowledge, such as the oracle bone inscription of tortoise shell and bone used in the Celestial Empire, and later the use of bamboo slips, while clay tablets were mainly used by ancient people in the Middle East.
It wasn't the current Middle Eastern tyrants of the Alabau, but the even older Sumerians.
This clay tablet book looks a lot like what An Yizhi has seen in the picture, the whole body is something similar to pottery, and it is engraved with cuneiform characters that are not readable at all, but fortunately, there is a universal system translation, and An Yizhi can at least understand the title of the book.
"Ugarit's Book of Rituals? Ugarit! Barr! β
An Yi pointed to the miscellaneous knowledge that was usually useless and instantly made him understand the meaning of this clay tablet book, and he opened the item attribute panel, and sure enough, it was a piece of equipment.
γUgarit's Book of Rituals and Ritualsγ

PS2: Quests that fail to clear the game will be reclaimed by the system.
An epic item with three skills, but it has lost its power. The last sentence of PS diluted An Yizhi's excitement a lot, and if you think about it, it is not scientific to get such a powerful epic item in a copy of ordinary difficulty.
As for the way to fix it...... Well, another lifetime series.
One might wonder why Ann Yizhi shouted Baal's name, isn't he a demon of hell?
This begins with the religious history of mankind.
In reality, the gods in human religion are not static, and many gods have different names in different regions, such as Zeus in Greek mythology became Jupiter in Rome, which is a change for political purposes, and Rome hopes to better rule Greece.
The original Baal had a comparable place in mythology to Zeus in Greek mythology, both of which were the main gods. He was not the evil propagated by later generations, and in Sumerian culture, Baal was their presiding god over thunder, harvest, death, and even the sun god.
But with the spread of culture, Baal's story is getting farther and farther, and when Christianity rises, he is simply positioned as the big demon in hell, which may have Christianity hoping to step on his fame and take the position, but in any case, the image of Baal equal to the demon has continued, and many games in later generations have also set it as the final boss, which is rotated by players. It's really embarrassing that a good main god is mixed up to such an extent.
Well, I'm going to get back to business.
According to the old butler, the owner of this place is a hobby collector of all kinds of ancient books, so it is not surprising that he has such a precious clay tablet book in his collection, and it is normal to put it in the institution to ensure that it will not be stolen by thieves.
But there is one thing that cannot be avoided no matter what, this book is a magical wonder.
It is a contradiction in itself to be able to get a copy of a strange object with supernatural powers in a copy that does not exist on the surface.
Going deeper, An Yizhi and Tu Hongyu's intuition was correct, and this copy was really an unscientific copy in the guise of science.
Because the copy could not use the dimensional pocket, An Yizhi had to put the clay tablet book in the coat pocket, although it was quite heavy, but it was not large, and it would not be very conspicuous in the pocket, and the heavy coat perfectly concealed An Yizhi's theft.
After putting away his things, Ann pointed and turned his target to the bookshelf on the other side, and he did it again, and soon he found the mechanism.
Nearly identical to the previous shelf, and when the small partition was opened, he saw that there were a few thin sheets of paper in it, instead of a full volume of books.
Fragments of some precious books? Could it be the manuscript of some master?
The paper that can be preserved in the same way as the Sumerian clay tablets must be Leonardo da Vinci's manuscripts, right?
Curious, An Yizhi picked up the pages of paper, this time the tried and tested system translation failed, but the words used on it An Yizhi knew that it was the runes he had studied day and night in the past few days, and these pages were .......
Book of the Dead!
ββββββββββ
Not long after An Yizhi finished searching in the library, Tu Hongyu also found the library, and the two exchanged information with each other.
Afterwards, a manservant informed him that dinner was ready, and the group went to the dining room of the old mansion to take a seat.
The two players also meet with several other guests and the owner of the place.
Sitting on the throne and introducing everyone is the owner of the Western-style Pavilion, his name is Eugene. Harrison. He is about 50 years old, upright and in the prime of life, with neatly groomed hair and beard, and looks like a successful person.
To his left was a man of about 30 years of age, with round glasses, half-bald hair, who was not very talkative, probably the same Mr. Hamill mentioned by the butler, who claimed to be a stockbroker.
On the right hand side are the two couples who were busy with sex and doing things before.,To be honest, the combination looks similar to the modern big money plus maintenance Xiaomi.γ
The man's name is Monston. Green, also about 50 years old, wide and fat, is about to catch up with Tu Hongyu, and his wife is a beautiful woman who looks no more than 30 at most, with a mature charm when her eyes are rolling, no wonder Mr. Munston is so obsessed, he is indeed a charming goblin.
When Eugene introduced An Yizhi and Tu Hongyu, the other guests were slightly curious about their identities, one was a police detective from Scotland Yard and the other was a private detective, this combination had to be reminiscent of some detective novels, Eugene just explained that they had helped him in an incident, so he specially invited them to his home.
Of course, this part of the memory is not available to two players, and it is the identity arranged by the system in order to allow players to better integrate into the game.
The aperitif is served with a meal and the dishes are served gradually in order.
Originally, An Yizhi didn't plan to eat dinner, he was going to find an excuse to shirk the past, but then he thought about it, if someone was poisoned after dinner, then the two who didn't eat dinner were the biggest suspects, and he had to pretend to eat some, thinking about it carefully, the system should not attack the player in this regard, then the difficulty would be too high.
"Do you see what's coming? I always felt that the kid with glasses was not a good person."
Tu Hongyu touched An Yizhi, who was drinking wine, with his elbow and whispered.
"Test me? Of course it looks like something."
According to the development of many detective works, the first to hang up is not the rich businessman couple who are the owners here, the suspicion that they are behind the scenes is relatively low, in comparison, the wooden man is even more suspicious, and An Yizhi's eyes are mostly focused on him.
"He's not a stockbroker, at least not before, he lied about his profession, maybe maybe he changed careers recently, I guess he was a doctor, and a surgeon"
"Why?"
"He has a problem holding the knife"
An wiped his mouth with a finger and said:
At first, when he held the knife, he habitually held the back half of the knife, and then realized that something was wrong and changed to a normal knife holding position. It is the habit of the surgeon to hold the back half of the operation, so as not to be blocked by his own fingers when performing surgery."
"That's it?"
"Of course not, you can see the back of his hand, the hair on the back of his hand is very heavy, and the hair on the rest of his hand is very light, which shows that he is not the kind of person with strong body hair, but what about the heavy hair on the back of his hand?"
"Uh, plastic gloves?"
"Yes, he must wear breathless gloves for a long time, the human body has the function of automatically regulating body temperature, since the back of the hand is in a stuffy state of impermeable all year round, the growth of hair is naturally more vigorous than other parts"
"Okay, you, can you see this? The great detective Sherlock Holmes's deduction is very slippery."
"This was all something I found out later, and the key piece of evidence that let me know that he was a doctor was that his suitcase said 'To Dr. Hamill, who is a skilled surgeon'"
Tu Hongyu: "......"
Dinner went on without incident, and just as Ann was thinking about the beginning of the plot, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
The voice came from the main entrance of the old mansion, and it was hurried and chaotic......
