Levin was the first to fish out a book from the top of the pile, and upon opening it, he found it was written in the Slavic language. With his current proficiency, it was not enough to comprehend such obscure and difficult text; he could only understand with the aid of a translation book.
Apart from Levin, Dino and Katerina were also sifting through the books, searching for the information they needed. Marvin picked up a sheepskin scroll, untied the red string fastened with a knucklebone, and slowly unrolled it....
The writing on the sheepskin scroll, whose pigment was unknown, remained vivid and full of color after many years with no signs of fading, and the content it documented also made Marvin's eyes light up.
