【Item Name: Book of Ma Genusi (Copy)】

【Origin: Prospero】

【Evaluation: An immortal sorcery masterpiece compiled by Primarch Ma Genusi from the arcane knowledge collected during the Great Crusade. The richness and complexity of the knowledge even made the book itself have a desire to learn and absorb knowledge, and these constantly expanding knowledge, legends, stories, magic, and myths are intertwined, forming a peculiar kingdom inside the book. Every copy of the Book of Ma Genusi is its entrance.】

【Production Time: 799. M30】

【Evaluation: No one knows the Warp better than me!】

【Value: 999,999,999】

Zhou Yun was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that the book Sanguinius grabbed from the bookshelf was actually the famous Book of Ma Genusi.

This book not only records a large amount of knowledge, but also seals a large number of daemons, aliens, and other Warp existences, and even the knowledge in it forms a pocket dimension.

Those existences sealed in it live in that pocket dimension. The degree of talent in it is comparable to the Black Prison under the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang's throne. It belongs to the level where Warp daemons would say it's heaven-defying.

After all, ordinary existences are not worthy of being locked into it by Ma Genusi. Those who are included are strictly selected by Ma Genusi, and the Warp concentration is higher than the Warp itself.

As for the knowledge in it, naturally, one is more heavy-duty than the other, such as the famous Rubric spell, which destroyed the entire Thousand Sons Legion in one shot.

What Zhou Yun has is not the original in Ma Genusi's hand, but a copy of the original. The power is not as good as the original, but it can still connect to the knowledge kingdom within the original.

"Don't read this for now." Sanguinius warned softly: "The knowledge in it and those things sealed in it are extremely dangerous even for Ma Genusi himself."

Speaking of this, Sanguinius paused.

"Don't sell it either." He said: "In my prophecy, this book will be useful later."

Zhou Yun nodded slightly. Sanguinius's prophecy is generally reliable.

He stuffed this copy directly into the depths of the four-dimensional pocket.

This way, he doesn't have to worry about anything crawling out of the book. If something really crawls out, it's just sending money to Zhou Yun.

Sanguinius continued to walk in front of Zhou Yun relying on his prophetic ability, stopping from time to time to pull out a few books from the bookshelf and stuff them to Zhou Yun.

It's just that unlike books like "Book of Ma Genusi" that Sanguinius can recognize, most books are just books that Sanguinius feels are valuable, and specifically Zhou Yun needs to use the four-dimensional pocket to judge.

"This is the 'Aeldari Exorcism Codex', which records the true names of 6,666 Greater Daemons."

"This is the 'C'tan Notes', a summary of the C'tan seen by an ancient Aeldari warrior."

"This is the 'Complete Collection of Daemons', a Warp daemon illustrated book."

"This is the 'Emerald Tablet', written by Hermes... oh, actually it's a book written by the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang wearing a vest, which contains the most primitive biological alchemy."

"This pile of 'The Empire Not Remembered: The Betrayal of Three Primarchs', the Harlequin's account of the history of the Second Empire————"

"... You can sell that pile related to the Second Empire directly." Sanguinius's expression twitched slightly and said.

"It's okay, send it to the Ptolemy Library." Zhou Yun stuffed these books into the four-dimensional pocket.

"Don't increase Tigurius's workload." Sanguinius shook his head with a wry smile: "He was almost driven crazy to cover up that period of history."

Tigurius has been destroying... oh no, modifying the history of the Second Empire in the Ptolemy Library recently.

If these historical accounts of the Second Empire by the Aeldari are sent in, he is afraid he will have to continue working overtime.

Suddenly, Sanguinius stopped beside a somewhat empty bookshelf.

On this bookshelf, only a simple parchment notebook was placed in the middle, as if other books nearby were afraid of the content in it and avoided it one after another.

Sanguinius slowly reached out and held this notebook. He looked at the words on the cover of the notebook.

He frowned slightly. Clearly, even he didn't recognize these words. They seemed to be some kind of ancient cuneiform.

Sanguinius handed this notebook to Zhou Yun.

"You read it..." Sanguinius said in a low voice.

His meaning was clearly suggesting that Zhou Yun take a Translation Konjac to read this notebook written in some kind of cuneiform.

"Do you recognize this note?" Zhou Yun asked curiously.

"... This kind of cuneiform should have originated in the Mesopotamia region. There are not many people who can use it."

Sanguinius looked at the notebook and said:

"You can probably guess that this is the first kind of writing the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang learned to use. Even among the Primarchs, not many people understand it."

"Only He Himself, those immortals, or those who have always been by His side will use it. I don't know which one it is."

"However, the notebook itself does not contain any power, and it doesn't even touch half a bit of psychic power. I don't think it's likely to be written by the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang Himself."

A notebook written by someone around the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang?

Who? Malcador? Erda? Oll Persson? Or... Alpharius?

Zhou Yun directly put the note into the four-dimensional pocket and scanned it.

【Item Name: Book of the Yellow King】

【Origin: Terra】

【Evaluation: A notebook written by an existence known as the "Yellow King", which uses ancient cuneiform that is difficult to distinguish. This text is protected by the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang's power, and only a few allowed people can fully interpret it.】

【Production Time: 211. M31】

【Evaluation: Contains a small amount of spells】

【Value: 13,000,000】

"Holy crap?" Zhou Yun raised his eyebrows slightly.

First he was shocked by the price of 13 million, then he was shocked by the word "spells", and finally his gaze fell on the four words "Yellow King".

In an instant, Zhou Yun's first thought was that Hastur from the Cthulhu worldview next door had hit him?

Then Zhou Yun recalled from the memory of his previous life what this "Yellow King" was.

The "Yellow King" is a peculiar and mysterious existence. He is closely related to the Logicians who can be traced back to the builders of the Tower of Babel in the ancient Terra era. One of his purposes is to find the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang's true name, but no one knows why he wants to do this, and no one knows the purpose of his doing this.

And spells are a kind of linguistic power that can distort reality. They don't need to rely on psychic power, they can have an effect just by saying them from the mouth. However, the user himself will also be harmed by the spells. This unique language was once stored in the Tower of Babel built by the predecessor of the Logicians, but it was captured by the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang and destroyed by the first Warmaster Oll Persson.

No wonder Sanguinius determined that this ordinary and plain notebook that doesn't possess any power is precious.

Just the small amount of spells recorded in it is precious.

While telling Sanguinius the information obtained from the four-dimensional pocket, Zhou Yun exchanged a Translation Konjac.

The text used in this notebook is protected by the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang's power. Presumably, this is the reason why the author of the notebook dared to write it down.

But the Translation Konjac can allow Zhou Yun to read any text without any restrictions.

"Yellow King, Hua Hua Hua Di Huang's true name..." Sanguinius muttered in a low voice, a little confusion flashed on his face.

It seems that even he didn't know who the Yellow King was, nor did he notice the Yellow King's actions.

Being able to hide from his prophecy, that Yellow King is either extremely powerful himself or protected by some mysterious existence.

Zhou Yun, who had eaten the Translation Konjac, opened the notebook in his hand.

"I am a failure, I am one who failed to complete the mission, I am a traitor."

"I failed to protect my master and eventually betrayed Him."

"The Sun God built false rationality on primitive frenzy, but now the rational world has collapsed in the tide of chaos."

"The frenzy, ignorance, and absurdity of the Wine God have surfaced again, but the wolf given the Wine God chose a different path from me."

"'I will save His life,' the wolf given the Wine God said to me: 'I will find the Tree of Life and bring Him back to the dust.'"

"I quarreled with the wolf given the Wine God. I believed that everything was according to my master's plan, but the wolf rebuked me."

"Wolf given the Wine God, our fate is as equal and opposite as our spearheads."

"You are savage and frenzied, named after the Wine God, with a wolf as your body, but you bring truth to others with your spearhead."

"I was forged into the appearance of rationality, named after the Sun God, with perfection as my body, but I take the truth of others with my spearhead."

"If you chose to save my master's life, what choice should I make?"

"Have you heard the thirteen whispers that ring in my ears day and night? Have you heard the thirteen commands of my master?"

"I hold the spearhead that can know everything, but I know nothing about my master, and I don't know what mission I should undertake."

"I wander before His throne day and night, staring at the body that will no longer speak, and clench the Sun God given to me."

"I can no longer endure these days of doing nothing, my master."

"So, I was controlled by that wolf-like frenzy, found an opportunity to face my master alone, and committed an unforgivable crime for this."

"I am the Custodian given the Sun God, I am the failed guardian, I am the one who takes the truth."

"So, I held the wolf-like state of mind and stabbed the Sun God's spear at the master of humanity."
