Chapter 72 Pottery 16 and Copper 28
Truman politely declines Hannibal's dinner invitation.

One was that it was still early, and it was a bit strange to talk about dinner before 2 pm, and the other was that the Empress had warned him not to sit at the same table as Hannibal.

Hannibal felt a little regretful, and his attitude became cold from then on.

Truman had to bring up another topic to get his attention.

"I think the highest continuity of spiritual writing can exceed 100 characters, far from the 50 characters that Professor Yang said is the limit." Truman said.

At this moment, in the museum in the afternoon, the environment is quiet, and the dust in the air seems to be floating leisurely.

What Truman said really caught Hannibal's attention.

"Do you have any evidence?" Hannibal asked.

"Unfortunately, not yet, it's just a guess. You know the 16 spiritual texts made by pottery, it's about a great military adviser." Truman said.

"Yes, I know." Hannibal nodded, "Not long ago a pottery 16-category 'mystery tablet' arrived in Lundini, I observed it, and then it also appeared at a execution scene in Shenwei Prison, That's a good subject for research and deserves a paper."

He had observed Zhuge Liang's enigmatic stele up close... when?Truman guessed in his heart.

The mysterious monument has become the focus of all parties since it arrived in Lundini, and it is under surveillance at all times. When did Hannibal study it?

"I'm doing research on Tao 16," Truman said.

"A good job." Hannibal inadvertently glanced over the back of Truman's right hand.

"During the course of my research, I saw a certain strong continuity," Truman said. "I think the continuity was more than 100 words."

"Oh..." Hannibal didn't show much interest.

Although he and Professor Yang, as the two giants in the debate on the limit of continuity, fought fiercely in the publication of "Pursuit of Truth", the brat came out of nowhere and said It is also hard to believe that he can provide research results that are beneficial to him.

There are too many researchers and research results that are difficult to distinguish between true and false in academia.

"I collected some of them, and this is a very difficult part to put together." Truman took out two fragments of Tao 16 from the briefcase he carried with him.

He did not translate.

In fact, after translation, the spiritual text takes shape, and the original continuity is lost.

Truman initially told Di Nu that he could see continuity.

Actually he made it up.

But after a lot of translation and appraisal work on Zhuge Liang, Tao 16, especially the process of re-scrambling the "mysterious tablet", he found that the "continuity" he made up casually really existed.

Or the texture fit between the fragments, or the mutual transfer between the 'historical pollution', or the wonderful rhythm between the dust, there are too many signs that can prove that the spiritual text carriers originally belonging to the same history are related.

This is continuity.

Truman found several very interesting pieces of pottery 16 based on the continuity and comparative knowledge on the other side of the earth.

And today he gave Hannibal two of them.

Although untranslated, Truman lost awareness of it after 24 hours, but Truman knew it was supposed to be part of a larger continuum.

Enough to get Hannibal interested.

Hannibal took the two pieces of pottery, took out a magnifying glass, and carefully observed the shapes and textures on them, showing his professionalism as an expert.

"Prompt," he murmured.

"Tearless." He said again.

He was lost in thought.

Truman couldn't help being amazed when Hannibal directly mentioned the spiritual inscriptions on the two pieces of pottery 16. Is it a 'skill' or a 'characteristic'?
How did Hannibal do it?
"...it should have more continuity, but how sure are you that it's going to be over 100 words?" Hannibal asked Truman, "Sorry, I'm not questioning you, but if it really turns out to be over 100 words It will be a milestone event in the history of Lingwen translation."

"It's not only more than 100 characters, it may even be more." Truman said in a rather affirmative tone.

When Truman heard the two words uttered by Hannibal, an article that was required to be recited in middle school immediately came to mind. After another 24 hours, he would forget the two words he heard, and maybe he would lose his memory. This association, but now he can remember it.

"I still find it hard to believe." Hannibal shook his head, he couldn't believe that an epic and important discovery would appear in front of him in this ordinary afternoon.

"I can provide you Tao 16 with the same continuity, and exchange with you the copper 28 I want." Truman said, "If I can't take out my trading item, you will lose nothing. "

"I can't refuse." Hannibal spread his hands, showing a charming smile, "If we can really make this important discovery, your name will be on the article that is destined to shock the world."

"Thank you very much," Truman said, "but before that, I may need to confirm that you have what I want in your collection."

of course.

Hannibal proudly invited Truman to his spiritual collection room, where Truman saw a large number of bronze-shaped spiritual carriers classified into 28 categories by Hannibal, as well as other spiritual carriers.

The pottery carrier that Truman is already very familiar with is only a very small part of it, and there are also bronze, iron, wooden tablets and so on.

Really amazing.Truman looked at everything he saw with surprised eyes.

He knows the value of it.

Spiritual scripts are the main ingredients of potions.

The collection of Hannibal's house is very precious, which means that many important raw materials of potions are so precious as to be guilty of committing crimes.

"These are copper 28 spiritual inscriptions, all of which have been authenticated."

Hannibal opened a drawer, and there was a large pile of bronze shards inside. Each piece was engraved with characters, all of which had been authenticated, and of course none of them had been translated.

"Can I re-identify them?" Truman asked.

"You do what you want," Hannibal said.

Appraisal will not affect the value of a spiritual text carrier, it will only temporarily sweep away the historical dust on it.

Truman wanted to use the characteristics of copying to judge whether these carriers met his requirements.

But Hannibal handed him the magnifying glass in his hand.

"I believe your 'share' is sufficient to use this feature."

Truman took the magnifying glass, and when he looked at the bronze shards through it, he saw that the historical dust on the shards didn't seem to exist, and he saw the spirit scripts one by one.

This is simply an artifact for spiritual identification... Truman was amazed.

Of course, the 'share' is consumed equally quickly. Truman can feel that every time he sees a font clearly, the 'share' will fall down like a cliff.

It must be a very high-ranking feature.

Although its consumption is not as good as the Seven Stars Unity, it is also higher than any of the characteristics in Truman's hands.

Before Truman had time to express his feelings about Hannibal's wealth, the words on a bronze shard caught his attention completely.

The inscription on the bronze shard is: three vellus hairs.
