Chapter II Legacy

Li Yu frowned. Why are some things in the newspaper getting harder and harder to understand recently? He turned the newspaper over and saw that the debate over there was already heated up as soon as he looked up.

An old professor with gray hair was forced to go crazy, "Rationality is above all, there is no evidence at all, you can't prove it..."

Alhaz is still calm, "But myths and legends always have their origins. How do you make sure that these have never happened? In that distant ancient era, the ignorant period when human civilization was not yet born, aren't the clues left by those ancient ruins indirectly proving my theory?"

"but……"

Li Yu was amused, as if he was arguing with a believer about whether the gods he believed in existed. Unless there was a tangible evidence, such a debate would not have any result at all. He had seen too many such things.

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

The son of the duke family, Lancet, killed an innocent man in the duel. The other party was thrown into white gloves just because he looked at his female companion more. For the sake of reputation, he had to bite the bullet and go on battle. As a result, he was easily killed by Lancet, a master of swordsmanship.

Since the duel complies with the regulations, Lanster was not prosecuted.

Speaking of duels, it’s really a problem. Should I practice swordsmanship too, so as not to encounter such a thing one day?

Li Yu's thinking was a little distracted. After reading it for a while, he felt that it was meaningless, so he simply picked up the notebook and conceived a new book.

So far, writing has been his greatest source of social reputation and economic income.

Just looking at the blank notes and the pen in his hand, Li Yu was a little confused.

As a time traveler, although he has the knowledge and knowledge reserves that people of this era do not have, these have become obstacles to his writing to some extent. Li Yu is very clear that writing must conform to the background of social and historicality.

To put it bluntly, it is down-to-earth.

To be more blunt, don’t violate the taboos above. Any society will have something suitable and not so suitable for writing.

What surprised Li Yu the most was that there was no church with too much influence, and even most religions were regarded as illegal organizations. Instead, an organization called the Reason Society held the right to speak in society. This organization extremely opposed religion and mysticism, and advocated rational thinking and scientific concepts.

But therefore, there is an extremely strict censorship system for all supernatural literary content. When he wrote about 20,000 miles under the sea, he wanted to add some Atlantis and Cthulhu to make up the number of words, he was warned to rectify it.

However, "Shelmes's Detectives" was highly praised and was also on the list as a literary work recommended by the Society, especially the sentence "When all other possibilities are drawn out and there is one left, no matter how impossible it is, it is the truth."

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

Speaking of which, he is still a member of the rational society.

Although the reason why he learned the rationality is quite gentle at the moment, Li Yu is a very cautious person, so he changed it and never wrote similar content again.

Perhaps he should write another science fiction novel. He is quite tolerant of science fiction content rationally, and he has a lot of material to "create".

Li Yu was thinking, Alhaz finally defeated the opponent in the debate, and walked over proudly. When he saw the notebook in Li Yu's hand, he immediately came up.

"Shawn, are you finally going to start writing a new book? Thank goodness, I'm almost going crazy when I waited. This time I must have some exciting content. I think it's very interesting to see the Cthulhu you told me last time, the ancient city under the sea, Laiye, etc.."

Li Yu looked at him helplessly and thought to himself that I haven't lived enough. "Come on, I can't write that kind of thing. I have to read books if someone loves it. I don't think this kind of content will have an audience in Brighton."

Alhaz shook his head in disappointment, "Shawn, you like to cater to readers so much that you can't become a great scholar. Besides, sometimes, people may not understand their true preferences. The explosive content is what people like."

Li Yu smiled, "It's like your book "Walking with the Dead"? How many books were sold before that book was banned? Three hundred, or five hundred?"

"One hundred books!" Alhaz said and laughed, as if Li Yu was praising him.

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

"It's easy, but you can't say it's the creativity I provide. I won't admit it anyway."

"Ha, I knew you would say that, don't worry, I will keep the secret, but have you really given up such a great idea? It will leave you in history!"

"Only dead people will be famous in history. I would rather be a living person with a little fame."

As the two were talking, a young teaching assistant came over, "Professor Sean, someone is looking for you outside." The man smiled mysteriously after speaking, "It's a beautiful lady."

When Sean walked out of the lounge, he saw the woman at first glance, wearing a long dress with a folded flower, a 'retro' women's windbreaker, a dovetail hat on her head and a leather file bag in her hand, looking intellectual and elegant.

Sean took off his hat and gave a gift, "Good afternoon, ma'am, is there anything you can do for you?"

"Shaan Forrest?"

"That's right."

"I am Delia from Ruinburg, the lawyer of your grandfather Albert Forest. Baron Albert has passed away three days ago. Please mourn."

Li Yu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect such a news at all.

He didn't even have any impression of his parents, let alone a cheap grandfather he had never met before. Of course, there was no need to be accused of absenteeism. In fact, the entire Forest family had no practical concept for him. He just vaguely learned from his parents' relics that the Forest family seemed to be quite concise, but he didn't know why his parents died in trouble.

I think there are some old grudges.

I'm just a little curious, what do you want to do with me in this kind of thing?

"So what are you looking for me?"

"Your name appears in the will left by Sir Albert. The will will be held tomorrow night at the Dark Fort Manor in Ruinburg. I hope you will be present at that time. If you are absent, you will be regarded as automatically giving up the right to allocate the estate."

Seeing the other party delivering an invitation letter to him seriously, Sean was a little surprised, but more surprised.

There are jazz titles and their own manors. I didn’t expect that our ancestors would have been rich.

Although the nobles of the Brighton Kingdom have somewhat declined, some top nobles still retain a luxurious lifestyle and profound background. If they want to inherit their own inheritance, they may be able to inherit the title, and they may become prosperous all at once.

He took the invitation letter and watched Delia leave. He was somewhat curious about this woman. Although the world is relatively open-minded and women can occasionally see them when they come to work, this is the first time he has seen a female lawyer.

However, this curiosity was soon replaced by the surprise in my heart. Looking at the invitation letter in my hand, Li Yu was full of thoughts, saying that what would his cheap grandfather leave for him?
