So even Lu Yuan and Oden did not try to force themselves to memorize the features of the inscription on the floor. They merely took in its general outline. Its characters were somewhat distorted, so they only needed to find similarly distorted inscriptions and compare them.
Of course, Lu Yuan was not entirely without something to rely on. He deliberately took precautions while leafing through the books, slowing down to give the gray-white text time to confirm whether there was any contamination or the like. Only after waiting a while and confirming that there was none did he pick up the pace. Besides, Oden was keeping watch too.
And so Lu Yuan grabbed one book after another and flipped through them, pausing for only a few breaths on each page. He was moving remarkably fast.
An entire book contained only a few pages of inscriptions. More importantly, Lu Yuan had no time to copy or study them, nor could he gain any useful experience from them. The upside was that he did learn about some rather bizarre things from the books.
For example, someone had fitted eerie inscription materials together, then inlaid an entire set of inscriptions onto them. When danger arose, they could simply throw it out and unleash a complete eerie inscription array on the spot.
Lu Yuan found this quite interesting, but Oden thought it was laughable. Anyone capable of placing such a complete inscription array onto eerie inscription materials had to be at least Fifth Order. And someone at Fifth Order could form an array with a wave of their hand, so what would they need such a thing for?
Lu Yuan did not care. He thought it was worth trying, since he happened to lack methods of that sort. Seeing that he could not dissuade
