Chapter 188

Take money and do things.

Gelang did not just throw this scroll, which he regarded as worthless, into the trash heap.

He didn't dare to do that either.

This is against the rules.

He just walked into the warehouse of the review department.

In the wide warehouse, there were several huge cabinets.

The cabinets were filled with delusional fantasies that attempted to "rise to the top in one step," looked like they might have something, but actually had no great value.

Just like the scroll in his hand.

Over so many years, these delusional fantasies have accumulated, and no one knows how many.

Maybe thousands, maybe tens of thousands.

Gelang didn't care about the specific number, just casually put the scroll in his hand into one of the cabinets.

If there were no accidents, its life was already destined at this moment: lying quietly in this huge, dark storage cabinet filled with "companions," waiting for the five-hundred-year storage period to arrive before being taken out and destroyed in bulk.

One day, two days.

One month, two months.

One year, two years.

The scroll lay in the huge cabinet, along with the "delusional fantasies" that shared the same fate, not knowing how many years it would have to wait here before seeing the light of day again.

The good thing is that the cabinet is specially made, dustproof, insect-proof, rot-proof, and decay-proof.

There is no need to worry about it rotting away before the five-hundred-year storage period arrives.

As time passed, the existence of this scroll was gradually forgotten.

In fact, by the second day, Gelang had long since completely forgotten its existence.

It was just that there was a mother who still remembered it.

Until time moved forward a few more steps.

In the spring of Noland Calendar Year 9389, twenty-three years had passed since the scroll entered the storage cabinet, and that mother passed away from illness.

Its ending seemed to be declared at this moment.

Because the only person in this world who still remembered it was also gone.

This scroll was completely forgotten.

Its historical mission had ended.

But is that really the case?

The fun of history often lies in its uncertainty and contingency.

Noland Calendar Year 9656.

The dust-laden cabinet was opened again.

But this time, it wasn't that a new partner had been sent in.

It was a young hand that reached in, pulled out this scroll casually, and picked it up again.

Luo En Aokenli.

The newly appointed director of the Spirit-Thought Building's review department.

Through a little of his own effort and ninety-nine points of his father's effort, Luo En Aokenli became the youngest director of the Spirit-Thought Building.

This young director would stay in the Spirit-Thought Building safely for a few years or more than a decade, as long as he didn't cause trouble—of course, it was hard to cause trouble in such a place.

In short, after gilding himself in the Spirit-Thought Building, his father would then operate to move him to the most important core place of the entire family: the "Sea Furnace" workshop.

He was destined to have a bright future.

However, the young Luo En Aokenli, who could clearly rely on his old man to lie down and win, happened to have a heart that wanted to prove his own ability.

He wanted to discover one or two incredible inventions and creations during his tenure.

Instead of lying flat here for more than a decade.

This is a young person, a young person full of passion.

The world is not necessarily friendly to such young people, but it certainly needs such young people.

It's just a pity that Luo En Aokenli's luck was not good.

He had been in office for two years, and there had still been no valuable inventions or creations in his hands.

Luo En Aokenli felt that he couldn't just sit and wait for those valuable inventions and creations to come to his door.

He decided to give full play to his subjective initiative and actively explore and search.

Then, Luo En Aokenli thought of this dust-laden warehouse and the countless "delusional fantasies" inside that were determined to have something but no great value.

Perhaps there were pearls in the ocean? In novel biographies, there are many stories of protagonists discovering treasures in a pile of junk.

He had read a ranger biography about a protagonist from a fallen dragon-blood family who discovered a ring in the family's old house and finally relied on this ring to walk to the highest story.

A big characteristic of young people is: say do it and do it.

So, Luo En Aokenli rushed into the warehouse excitedly, opened a cabinet at random, and took out a scroll at random.

In fact, cross-reviewing, secondary appraisal, and evaluation of the things in the warehouse were originally one of the duties of the review department staff.

It's just that obviously, no one would really be so conscientious, and few people would do such thankless things.

Young people like Luo En are often regarded as troublesome by those old people who are used to lying flat and have had their passion worn away by boring work.

It cannot be denied that most of the time, troublesome people are annoying.

But it also cannot be denied that the wheels of history are often pushed by troublesome people.

"Rune rules? Logic and calculation? A bit interesting..." Luo En opened the scroll, originally just scanning it casually, but found that the content was unexpectedly very novel.

This is another characteristic of young people: strong tolerance.

They are often more likely to accept new things that are unconventional and deviate from tradition.

Luo En laughed and began to seriously check the things written on the scroll.

Half an hour later.

Luo En finished reading the scroll with shining eyes.

He was not a runemaster and did not understand runology.

But he was a staff member of the Spirit-Thought Building's review department, which at least indicated that he had a certain eye, and even if it did not belong to the knowledge of his own field, he had a certain discernment.

"This thing, it doesn't seem simple, right?" Luo En made a preliminary judgment.

But it was only preliminary.

After all, professional things still have to be handed over to professional people to evaluate.

Luo En thought for a moment, picked up the scroll, closed the cabinet, left the warehouse, and came to his office.

Swish, swish, swish.

He picked up a pen, quickly and skillfully finished a report, stamped it with his official seal, then re-packaged the report and the scroll together, and instructed his subordinates to take it to the family's rune workshop for professional appraisal.

Even though Luo En had a certain status background, in the behemoth that is the Aokenli family, it actually didn't count for much.

So this package still had to go through two approvals and three circulation steps, and it wasn't until four months later that it arrived at the rune workshop.

The staff of the rune workshop received the package, signed the receipt, then carefully examined it, and put the package in Room No. 1.

The things in Room No. 1 would soon meet with the masters of the rune workshop.

Luo En's report still had a certain weight.

Three days later.

Riken Aokenli, one of the masters of the Aokenli family's rune workshop, walked into Room No. 1 and opened the package.

"Young people are easily making a fuss; things that are full of gimmicks but actually only have gimmicks are very common..."

He first scanned the report written by Luo En casually, muttered subconsciously, and then opened the scroll indifferently.

Twenty minutes later.

Master Riken Aokenli's face changed drastically, and he left Room No. 1 in a hurry.

"Quick, help me notify the clan elders, there is an incredible discovery!!" A hurried but surprised voice sounded in the contact room.

The workshop staff in work clothes looked in surprise at Master Riken, who was clutching a scroll and could almost be said to have rushed in, feeling a little shocked in his heart.

It had been a long time since he had seen the masters have this performance.

And to notify the clan elders directly meant that this was the highest-level discovery.

The staff didn't dare to ask more; he silently moved the alchemy machine on the table to convey the notification upward, while his eyes quickly scanned the scroll in Master Riken's hand.

He caught a glimpse of the signature at the very end of the scroll: He Xi Aokenli.

A very strange and inconspicuous name.

Another hour later.

The Aokenli family's highest meeting began.

The central content of the meeting was a scroll.

This scroll finally broke through the heavy encirclement of bureaucracy and came before the clan elders of the Aokenli family, coming to the highest meeting of the Aokenli family.

From 9366 to 9656.

It waited for 290 years.
