book of old days

Chapter 4 Legacy
Sean frowned. Why are some things in the newspaper getting more and more incomprehensible recently?He turned the newspaper over, and when he looked up, he saw that the debate over there had become heated.

An old gray-haired professor was driven a little crazy, "Be rational, there is no evidence for what you said, you have no way to prove..."

Alhaz remained calm, "But myths and legends always have their origins. How can you be sure that these never really happened? In that distant ancient age, the ignorant period when human civilization was not yet born, the various ancient ruins left behind Clues, don't they just prove my theory from the side."

"but……"

Sean laughed for a while, as if arguing with a believer about the existence of the gods he believed in. Unless there is tangible evidence, this kind of debate will not have any results at all. He has seen this kind of thing too much.

He picked up another newspaper and read it. This time, the "Sword Fort Weekly" mainly reported some social news.

The duke's son Lancet killed an innocent man in the Duelist again. The other party was thrown a white glove just because he took a second look at his female companion. He was easily killed by Lanster, who was a master of swordsmanship.

Because the duel was within the rules, Langster was not charged.

Speaking of duels, things like this are really troublesome, shouldn't I also practice swordsmanship, so as not to encounter such things someday?
Sean's thinking was a little divergent. After reading it for a while, he found it meaningless, so he simply picked up his notebook and began to conceive a new book.

Writing is by far his greatest source of social prestige and financial income.

Just looking at the blank note and the pen in his hand, Sean was a little dazed.

As a time traveler, although he has the insight and knowledge reserves that people of this era do not have, but these have also become obstacles to his writing to a certain extent. Sean is very clear that writing must conform to the social and historical background .

To put it bluntly, it is grounded.

To put it more bluntly, don't violate the taboo above. In any society, there will be things that are suitable for writing and things that are not so suitable for writing.

What surprised Sean most in this world is that there are no churches with much influence, and even most religions are regarded as illegal organizations. Instead, an organization called the Society of Rationality holds the right to speak in society. Extremely opposed to religion and mysticism, advocating rational thinking and scientific concepts.

But because of this, there is an extremely strict censorship system for all supernatural literary content. When he wrote Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, he wanted to add some elements such as Atlantis and Cthulhu to make up the number of words, so he was warned. rectified.

On the contrary, "The Collection of Sherlock Holmes" was highly praised, and it was also listed as a recommended literary work by the society, especially the sentence "When all other possibilities have been ruled out, and there is one left, no matter how impossible it is, It's the truth."

It also became the top ten famous quotes of the year.

After all, he was a member of the Society of Reason.

Although the Institute of Rationalism gave him a very gentle feeling at the moment, Sean was a very cautious person, so he changed it as soon as he asked, and he never wrote similar content in the future.

Maybe he should write another science fiction novel, the Society of Rationality is quite tolerant of science fiction content, and he has a lot of material to 'create'.

Sean was thinking about it, when Alhaz finally won the argument, walked over triumphantly, saw the notebook in Sean's hand, and immediately moved it up.

"Sean, are you finally going to start writing a new book? Thank goodness, I'm going crazy waiting for it. This time, I must have some exciting content. The ancient city of Cthulhu and the seabed you told me about last time. Yeah or something, I think it's funny."

Sean gave him a helpless look, and said in his heart that I haven't lived enough, "Come on, I don't know how to write that kind of thing. To write a book, someone must read it. I don't think this kind of content is spreading Leighton will have an audience."

Alhaz shook his head in disappointment, "Sean, you like to cater to readers too much, so you won't be able to become a great scholar, besides, sometimes, people may not know their true preferences, and explosive content is what people like to see. "

Sean chuckled, "It's like your "Walking with the Dead"? How many copies of that book sold before it was banned? Three hundred copies, or five hundred copies?"

"One hundred copies!" Alhaz laughed, as if Sean was praising him.

After laughing for a while, he suddenly said seriously: "If you don't write it, then I will write it? I listened to your explanation last time, and I got some inspiration. I have to thank you for talking about it."

"Anything you want, but you can't say that I came up with the idea, anyway, I won't admit it if you say so."

"Ha, I knew you would say that, don't worry, I will keep it a secret, but such a great idea, do you really just give up like that? It will make your name in history!"

"The dead will be left in the annals of history. I would rather be a living person with a little bit of fame."

The two were talking, when a young teaching assistant came over, "Professor Xiao En, someone is looking for you outside." The man smiled mysteriously after speaking, "You are a beautiful lady."

When Sean walked out of the lounge, he saw the woman at a glance. She was wearing a floral dress, a 'retro' lady's windbreaker, and a dovetail hat on her head. Carrying a leather document bag, it looks intellectual and elegant.

Sean took off his hat and gave a salute, "Good afternoon, ma'am, may I help you?"

"Sean Forrest?"

"Yes."

"I'm Delia from Luenburg, the lawyer of your grandfather Albert Forrest. Baron Albert passed away three days ago. Please forgive me."

Sean froze for a moment, he hadn't expected such news at all.

He doesn't even have any impression of his own parents, let alone a cheap grandfather he has never met, so there is no need to mourn. In fact, the entire Forrest family has no real concept for him, he just vaguely From the relics of his parents, he learned that the Forrest family seemed to be well-respected, but he didn't know why his parents died in hardship.

Presumably there are some old grievances.

Just a little curious, why do you ask me for this kind of thing?
"Then who are you looking for?"

"Your Excellency's name appeared in the will left by Sir Albert. The probate justice meeting will be held tomorrow night at the Dark Forest Manor in Luenburg. I hope you can be there at that time. If you are absent, it will be regarded as giving up the inheritance automatically. assign rights."

Seeing the other party handing an invitation letter to him in a serious manner, Sean was a little stunned, but more surprised.

Those who have the title of jazz, and their own manor, I didn't expect our ancestors to be richer than that.

Although the nobles of the Kingdom of Brighton have somewhat declined, some of the top nobles still retain a luxurious lifestyle and profound heritage. If they want to inherit the inheritance, they may be able to inherit the title, and they may soon be prosperous. .

He accepted the invitation letter and watched Delia leave. He was somewhat curious about this woman. Although the world was relatively enlightened and women came out to work occasionally, it was the first time he had seen a female lawyer.

But soon this curiosity was replaced by the surprise in his heart. Looking at the invitation letter in his hand, Xiao En's thoughts flashed in his mind, saying what would this cheap grandfather leave for him?
If he left the manor to himself, would he move, or sell the manor and return to Jianbao to live?Oh, it's really troublesome.

　As soon as I went online today, I found out that there are two alliance leaders. This is the first day. I am really flattered.

　　Two more chapters will be added in the afternoon, thank you.
