Chapter 32 The Great Library

The most grand building in the Temple of the Gods is not the sacred hall of the gods, nor does it represent the divine collection. It also embodies the urban hub of all the true gods’ sacred names, and the temple of the same name as the city. The truly grandest building is a large library located in the center of the city, formed by the God of Knowledge and the God of Wisdom joining forces to materialize divine power.

According to legend, this large library with a height of 50 meters and diameters of 200 meters has a collection of 103,000 sets of pure academic books. In Pavatiga, it is a symbol of knowledge and a holy place in the minds of all scholars. No matter which god you believe in, as long as you have the identity of a scholar, there is no exception. Every year, many scholars will risk their lives to travel through the dangerous wilderness of danger to visit the temple of the gods just to visit the large library once.

Here, you can find almost any academic book that has been published. Every year, believers of the God of Knowledge will collect the latest books and deposit them into the large library, so that the knowledge here will never go out of date.

It is said that when the Great Library was just built, it was just a gift from the God of Knowledge to all the gods who serve the gods, so it only serves the priests. However, under the mercy of scholars around the world, it was finally opened to the public. However, each scholar only had five days a year to enter the Great Library to copy books. As for book lending, it was a right that only the priests had.

When entering the large library, you must first pass through a low arch with the pattern of books on the top, which is called the Gate of Awe. Most races want to pass by, they have to bow their heads or even bend, but no one has any opinions, because the books on the arch represent the inheritance of knowledge and wisdom. Every time they enter and exit, they bend down, symbolizing a sense of awe for knowledge and wisdom. This is what fanatical scholars are willing to do.

In front of the library, two statues stand on one left and one right. On the left is a huge book with an eye on the cover. According to legend, this is the essence of the God of Knowledge. One eye can see through the truth of the world, and books can record all the knowledge in the world. On the right is a giant brain with three eyes engraved on the front and floating in the air. This is of course a symbol of the God of Wisdom. The three eyes can see through the past, present and future, and the brain condenses all the wisdom in the world.

If you bow to the two statues of gods, the door of the large library will automatically open. Those who meet the conditions can easily enter, but those who do not meet the conditions will be blocked outside even if they are as strong as demigods. Everything is run by divine power, and no one can change unless two powerful gods arrive in person.

With Lisa and Moria, Shur walked along the way very skillfully. In the first two years before he arrived in Pavatiga, he was almost immersed in books and knowledge, and he would come and go here every day. He was already familiar with the Dark Moon Temple, so he naturally would not be as confused as the scholars who visited the first time at the door.

As soon as the door opened, a strange smell of paper and ink mixed together came to me. For ordinary people, the smell of this large number of printing materials gathered together was very pungent, but for scholars, to apply the sigh of the first non-priest scholar who was lucky enough to visit here, this is the fragrance of knowledge, and being able to smell it is the highest enjoyment in the world.

What does the library remind people of? Rows of bookshelves, piles of books, seekers studying hard at desks, and the rustling sound of paper flipping. However, in the large library, there is no such scene at all.

As soon as I entered the door, what was presented in front of me was a very strange hall. The hall was empty, with administrators, furniture, books, and nothing, and there were only a few other visitors, proving that I was not alone.

At this time, the visitor should not be in a hurry. He just needs to walk around the hall or find a corner to wait quietly. If he only needs to wait for a few minutes, he will feel a flash in front of him. When he sees things clearly, he is already in another space. It is no longer an empty hall, but an enclosed room without doors and windows. A reception table is placed in the middle of the room. The priest wearing the sacrificial robe of the God of Knowledge sits behind the reception table and flies through the books spread out on the table.

But this time, the situation was slightly different. Before the three of them could recover, a crisp voice came from their ears: "Why is it your pervert again?"

"Uh, I think it's not a good habit to keep the word perverted as a lady." Without waiting to see everything in front of you, Shure sighed and touched his nose and said distressedly, "The believers of the Lord of Knowledge are calm and calm, and the believers of the Lord of Wisdom are elegant and steady. Miss Isabella, which one do you think your performance matches?"

"That's just for you." The vision finally recovered. You could see a 24 or 25-year-old woman sitting behind the reception table. The thin lady wearing glasses was staring at Shuer with dissatisfaction and said fiercely, "What are you trying to do?"

"Ahem, I'll just return the books." Shuer raised the stack of books in his hand, "When did even return the books be considered a distorted state?"

"Just return the book?" The woman known as Isabella looked at Shure suspiciously, then looked at Lisa and Moria beside him, and said vigilantly, "Then bring it."

After taking over a dozen thick books, Isabella only glanced at the cover of each book and put it on the table casually. At the next moment, more than a dozen books disappeared from the table without warning, as if they had never appeared before.

"It's really too convenient to be an illusory space formed by divine power." No longer had the surprise of the first meeting, Shuer knew that the books had returned to the bookshelf that should be on. This is the special ability of the staff of the big library and can only take effect in the big library.

"What other books do you want to borrow?" The woman had a cold face and looked like a formal expression. "If you don't borrow, please come back."

"A book about the Great Rift." Shure said in contemplation, "No historical ones, I have read most of them before. What I need is academic research, and theoretical research. I have ignored this before."

"Academic research on the Big Fracture?" As if he was a little interested in Shuer's request, Isabella thought seriously and frowned, "Is the phenomenon research not possible?"

"Sorry, no, you must study theoretically."

"It's hard to find books in this area. After all, there are not many scholars who study the theory of big cracks, and there are not many who have achieved results. Few people want to find such books. What do you want to do with it?"

"read."

Sul who was answering nonsense with a fierce glaring glance, Isabella stood up and waved her hand, and the environment changed suddenly again. The four of them were already standing in a huge room with soft lights. More than ten long bookshelfs were arranged in five elements, and there was almost no end to see at first glance.

"There should be a few books you want here." Isabella said uncertainly, "You can take a look first."

"Overview of the formation of negative life, swallowed matter, empty space - inference of the space environment in the crack." Walking by the bookshelf casually, Shuer pointed to three books, "I need these three."

Isabella spread her palms in front of the three of them, and the light flashed, and three books had appeared in her hands.

"But there should be other things. This is not enough for me to see in two days."

"So you are just a pervert, no one reads books like you." Isabella was very angry about Sul's reading speed and amazing memory. At the beginning, she even thought that Sul was here to make trouble. It was not until she confirmed that Sul had read all the borrowed books, but she memorized them all, that she gave up this idea. However, Sul had become one of the perverts in her heart.

"Ha, there is no way, talent cannot be forced, Ms. Isabella." Shure said with a smile, "The limit for priests at a time is fifteen books, and I didn't ask to borrow them all, but it must be enough for me to read. After all, this is related to the life and death of many people. I am also entrusted by others to investigate, otherwise I wouldn't have read such an unpopular thing."

"Because the cracks in the Rose Capital broke out some time ago?" Isabella became serious. For most priests, life is worthy of attention. Moreover, she grew up in the Kingdom of Kora and had a deep relationship with the Kingdom.

"It's relevant, but not all." Xiuer smiled mysteriously and shook his head, "The specific content involves confidentiality, and it's not convenient to disclose it."

"I understand." Another fierce roll of eyes, Isabella snorted coldly, "This time I'm giving you a discount, so it's easy for you to achieve your goal. Humph, you guys wait."

"Brother, brother." While Isabella walked aside, Lisa lay down in Shure's ear and whispered, "Who is this person? She is very familiar with you?"

"There are not many believers in the Temple of Knowledge who are qualified to work in the Big Library." This is not a boast. For readers as special as Shuer, not only in the Big Library, but almost all the Temple of Knowledge have heard of his name.

"Then why did you provoke her? Why did she treat you so fiercely? Hey, stupid Moria, don't laugh, what's so funny."

It was like a kitten protecting food, and the girl's vigilance was so easy to guess. No wonder Moria was very happy to laugh aside.

"Yuyou, don't talk to a deer. The deer doesn't understand the common language, and doesn't know what jealousy is, Youyou."

"Because she thinks she is a protector." Shul didn't want to expose Lisa's thoughts to make her embarrassed, and replied with a smile, "What she hopes most is to drive me away, for fear that I will bully the person she wants to protect."

"Oh, huh?" The girl's heart that had just been relieved suddenly became alert. Oh no, she only cared about the fierce woman in front of her. How could she forget about another powerful enemy who was really entrenched in the library?

Sure enough, the second hateful voice came immediately in my ears.
