Chapter 66 Who Are You?(1/3)
Every choice has its corresponding price. For example, after saying harsh words "You must listen to me" to the two representatives of the King of Nunn, and then turning around and leaving handsomely, the frowning Thales fell into depression.
tangled.
Obviously, whether it is for the continuation of the Walton family, the simple interests of Longxiao City, or to solve a threat before his death, or even for the so-called "revenge" full of personal emotions, Nunn VII will
He is determined to find the man behind the conspiracy with Lombard.
In order to achieve this goal, everything else, including one's own life, becomes insignificant in the process and can even be sacrificed at any time.
Thales was almost 100% sure that he was the "bait" in Nunn's original plan, and there was no other possibility.
but……
The time traveler gritted his teeth.
Even if he uses the stars to seize the initiative in his own hands, how can he find Nunn and his common enemy without endangering himself, the one who can drive the so-called "traitors of the Tower of the End"?
Where are people?
I don’t know how Nunn would react to his performance, but if I can’t help him find his enemy... Thales thought of King Nunn’s face.
He sighed.
Alas, welcome to Northland.
He needs help, whether it's Putilai's staff, Wyatt's sword, Rolf's powers, or Ada's strength.
We have to meet them quickly.
Thales raised his head and was suddenly stunned.
He realized that he had walked a long way while meditating.
But he did not find Michael, who was leading him, at his original place.
in short……
Thales looked awkwardly at the unfamiliar corridors and stairs in front of him, the rough patterns on the walls, and the stone windows on both sides...
He is lost.
Thales immediately turned around.
But after imagining the scene where he said "I'm sorry, can you tell me how to go back" to Nikolai and Slice, whom he had just met, and the expressions of the two of them, he decisively added "
The option "Return to the original route" is removed.
The problem is... Thales turned his head in embarrassment: the layout of the Palace of Heroes is so consistent that every time he turns a corner, he feels like he is back to the place he just came from.
As long as you walk forward and meet a guard or servant, you can ask for directions.
Thales sighed and strode forward.
Until he passed through a tall curved door in a daze.
This is a huge room. There is no stove or brazier like other places in the Palace of Heroes. Instead, it has large windows open, and the white light outside the window is projected in. There are iron shelves hanging from the ceiling, and there seems to be a
A crystal white silver gem reflects the light outside the window, illuminating rows of...
bookshelf?
Thales was stunned and looked at the two rows of large black bookshelves facing him.
Each row is eight or nine meters long, leaving only a gap in the middle that is two people wide.
He frowned, as if he had bumped into a...library?
No wonder there is no brazier.
Thales looked around and was surprised that he didn't see anyone.
He took a step forward and stuck his head into the gap between the two rows of bookshelves, trying to see the other side of the room, but in vain.
First, the room seemed extremely huge, and secondly, he discovered that these black bookshelves seemed to be arranged in an arc shape rather than in a straight line - at least, he could not see the other end of the room, in the field of vision between the two rows of bookshelves.
There are still countless bookshelves, extending to the end of the line of sight.
He sighed.
As for the library... there should be someone guarding it, right?
"Is there anyone there?" Thales cautiously opened his mouth and shouted: "Can I tell you the direction to the Hall of Heroes?"
no respond.
Thales shook his head: These bookshelves cut off the transmission of sound to a great extent.
He had to walk between two rows of bookshelves and walk past rows of dark wooden bookshelves.
There are about ten floors in these bookshelves. Each floor is separated by thick black wooden boards. From the soles of the feet to the ceiling, it is seven or eight meters high.
Books are of course placed on the bookshelf: from volumes of thin side-mounted books to heavy classics with hardcover covers, and even scrolls placed vertically.
Many books are heavy and simple, and some are even ancient copies made of parchment. They have a long history but are well preserved.
The ancient imperial language engraved on the side of each bookshelf clearly identifies the category of each row: poetry, literature, history, politics, music scores, personal monographs, and even king's decrees... many of them are old books that cannot be seen in the Mindis Hall.
.
Oh my god... Thales stood on a row of bookshelves, reading a large thick book with a brown cover, dazed.
"Collection of Imperial Edicts: Year 1 - 230"
This is...calculating the time, it's six hundred years in the End Calendar and one thousand five hundred years in the Empire Calendar.
A book from nearly two thousand years ago?
No, it's a copy - Thales immediately reflected from its newness.
But...a thought swept through Thales' mind.
If it were a book before Endgame...
That...whether it's a mage, a magic tower or the history of magic!
There will definitely be clues left behind.
At least briefly mentioned.
For example, didn't the book "Endgame: The World Fall Apart" he found in the Mindis Hall mention the Alchemy Tower?
Thales's eyes lit up.
He never believed that mankind's ban on magic could really be so complete and impeccable.
Otherwise, how could there be such an existence as Ramon?
He continued to walk forward, and from time to time he pulled out a few books that were still within reach, opened the first few pages, and took a quick look.
There are many similar books.
From Common Language to Ancient Imperial Language, there were even books written in some strange characters that he had never seen before.
Fortunately, the special training given to him by Gilbert worked. Tails' Common Language writing skills should have no problem understanding the cover and general content. As for his half-baked Ancient Imperial Language, the grammar and spelling are much more complicated than Common Language.
, but many words have similar roots and affixes, so half-guessing will always yield a result.
Gilbert told him that after the collapse of the ancient empire, the ancient imperial language used by nobles and officials slowly turned into a ritual language of rhetoric and literature, and the common language of the common people gradually formed at this time.
Thales held his breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart: he seemed to have returned to the past in his memory, where he was walking among rows of bookshelves.
"Myojin Holy Edict" - This is a history book that records the deeds of the Myojin Church, the orthodox church in the empire.
"War of Thorns" - Looking at the title page, it seems to be a major conquest in the ancient empire era, and the target is the land of thorns in the southwest of the Western Continent.
"The Biography of the Conquests of Comorra the Great" - the biography of the first emperor of the ancient empire and the history of the establishment of the empire.
"Kings xxx Politics xxx" - I can't understand the ancient imperial language vocabulary in the title of the book. God, this is probably related to the kings period before the ancient empire period.
"Tracing the Origins of the Ancient Orcs" - This is easy to understand, although the entire text is in ancient imperial language.
"The Catastrophe of Serankaren" - there is another title on the cover. It is written in another system of writing that is neither Common Language nor Ancient Imperial Language. I don't know what book it is.
"Templar Records: The Encyclopedia of Knights" - seems to be telling the history of the glorious age of knights in the past, from the period of kings to the era of empire.
"The Story of the Dragon" - I don't know if it is a literary work or a serious record.
"xxx: The Iron-Blooded King and Medie..."——Another incomprehensible title.
"List of the Ten Knights of the Empire through the Ages" - Starting from this row of bookshelves, there are more books written in Common Language.
"Dragon Kiss Academy 612th Anniversary Collection" - full of things that are incomprehensible.
"Male and Female" - Ah, this one actually has illustrations... Well, let's put it back.
Dragonlance Chronicles - What the hell?
Thales became more and more excited, even forgetting his original purpose - whether it was to find a way out or traces of magic.
It's like going back to the "past life" in the memory fragments and discovering a large number of high-quality documents in a database.
This is probably the library in the Palace of Heroes, or the Walton family's library.
When he was in Xingchen, he never had time to gain access to enough and wide-ranging knowledge, and almost all of the more precious books in the Star Kingdom were treasured in the Wang Li Canxing Library.
