After reading Abram's notes, Lu Tao naturally would not be satisfied with the contents recorded in the two thin books, so the second time, he took down five books and slowly read the contents inside, because this row of bookshelves is full of alchemist notes, Lu Tao read these notes, as if he experienced their lives from the perspective of different people, although such a life is intermittent and has no continuity at all, but it is also a particularly rare experience, after all, for alchemists, their lives are always full of accidents and uncertainties, and the things they encounter are impossible for ordinary people to encounter, especially some alchemists' own job is to explore those magical parts of this continent, which makes these notes a very interesting exploration, not to mention that some alchemists also work part-time as detectives, so that Lu Tao forgets the time when he looks at it, as if he is reading a book, and he can't stop.

"Hey, boy, it's almost time, the library is closing. ”

Lu Tao was stunned for a moment, turned around, and found that it was Hatton's senior who was sitting at the door before, and couldn't help asking, "The library is still closed at night?"

"The library is naturally going to be closed, otherwise I'll go to your house for dinner at night?!" Senior Hatton said angrily: "I'm not one of those crazy and young alchemists, and I still have the energy to stay up all night reading here, so hurry up, wait until tomorrow morning when you come back, I'm still in a hurry to go home for dinner, aren't you hungry?"

After such a reminder from Hatton's seniors, Lu Tao felt that the hunger in his stomach suddenly became prominent, he came in the morning, and he didn't eat at noon, and now it's night, even if he introduces his physique, now he can't stand it, if you describe it a little, it's as if there was a giant dragon in his belly, and he suddenly woke up just now, of course, it's a bit exaggerated to say that it's a dragon, Lu Tao prefers to call the object in his abdomen a black hole.

"Looks hungry. Hatton nodded with satisfaction: "Then hurry up and come with me, first of all, I won't invite you to my house for dinner, my wife has a bad temper, let him prepare one more person's meal, he won't be happy, so don't think about this kind of thing, go find a place to eat yourself!"

Lu Tao: "......"

Even if Hatton's seniors didn't say it, Lu Tao wouldn't run over to eat their family's meal with a shy face, Lu Tao wanted to explain a little, and suddenly felt that there was no need to explain, and said another sentence about Hatton's seniors: "What? Do you think our family's food is not delicious?!" Lu Tao didn't know how to answer.

Fortunately, Hatton's predecessor didn't seem to mean to say anything more, he just took Lu Tao out of the library door, and after the golden door was closed, he pressed it with his hand again, Lu Tao guessed that this should be some kind of anti-theft measure, as if it was locking the anti-theft door at home.

Out of the door, Lu Tao parted ways with Hatton's seniors, Hatton's seniors ran fast, as if they were afraid that Lu Tao would catch up, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, Lu Tao shook his head, and then touched his pocket, and there were still some copper coins and silver coins that Mickey had given him before, just enough to use these things for a meal, before he had told Mickey and Princess Sophie that he would not go back to eat during the day.

After filling his stomach with a meal of food at the tavern last time, Lu Tao returned to the hotel, only to find Mickey and Sophie

The princess is not in the hotel, and I don't know where she went, now it is almost dark, if she is going to dinner, she should have already finished eating, shaking her head, maybe Mickey and Princess Sophie are out on a date, these two people have known each other since childhood, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are small, at least Lu Tao feels that most of the time in front of the two of them is redundant, which is the so-called light bulb, the kind of one hundred watts.

There is nothing to do back in the hotel, Lu Tao suddenly regretted a little, regretted that he did not borrow two books to come back when he was in the library before, after all, although there is electricity in this era, there is no TV, not only there is no TV, not even a radio or something like that, electric energy is simply used in lighting, although it is a great feat, but it is also a waste of electric energy, you must know that in this world you can even charge your mobile phone, if it is someone who travels over with a mobile phone, the mobile phone contains an encyclopedia, maybe you can go to the peak of life...... Hawkers, probably Lu Tao is thinking too much.

After the sky was completely dark, Lu Tao went to sleep directly, anyway, there was nothing else to do, he couldn't even cultivate, it was better to sleep.

......

Early the next morning, when it was just dawn, Lu Tao woke up, and after asking the owner of the inn, Mickey and Princess Sophie seemed to have returned, but because the time was too early, Lu Tao didn't bother them, and I don't know where they went last night, wait until next time they have a chance, but you have to ask carefully, the light bulb should also have the consciousness of the light bulb, which can probably play a role in advancing the main task?

After leaving the hotel, Lu Tao went directly to the Alchemy Association, and today he still goes to the library, according to the reading speed that Lu Tao has exercised, he actually doesn't read books so slowly, so this time he goes to the library, he is ready to change his strategy, and he doesn't need to read the content of those notes word by word, even if it is the alchemist's notes, there are most of the content that is meaningless, roughly equivalent to the bones in the free bone broth in the hall in the university cafeteria, which are tasteless, but it is a pity to abandon them.

In the library of the Alchemy Association, today it is still Hatton's predecessor as a librarian, when Lu Tao entered the door, Hatton just glanced at him, and there was nothing superfluous, in fact, Lu Tao still wanted to ask him a question such as whether the dinner last night was good.

According to the strategy he had thought of in the morning, Lu Tao went through the notes and biographies belonging to the alchemists, and skipped the parts that did not have any special significance, such as what a certain alchemist likes to eat for breakfast, and what is the name of another alchemist's dog? In the end, Lu Tao didn't want to know how old the son of an alchemist was weaned, although from between the lines, Lu Tao found that maybe this alchemist's hat might have to wear some other colors, after all, two parents with blood type A can't give birth to a child with blood type AB, thanks to this alchemist's still specializing in blood, not genetics.

From these notes, Lu Tao had a general understanding of the science and technology tree in this world, just as he had thought before, the technology tree in this world is a lot crooked anyway, there is a situation where there is electricity but there are no electrical appliances that can use electricity, and it is also a situation to know the blood type but not know the relationship corresponding to the blood type, there are all kinds of strange things

phenomenon, but still in these phenomena have unearthed a way to the world of science and technology, probably that these alchemists can do it, overall, their contribution to this world is still quite large, if the Empire of Light had not disappeared in the previous catastrophe, if the pattern of the world continues to progress as it was, maybe this world will develop a more reasonable technology tree, even if technology and the occult are intertwined, there is no problem, and even be able to achieve some goals that were originally thought impossible earlier than the modern society that Lu Tao knows。

After Lu Tao came to the Alchemy Association in the morning, he borrowed some paper and pens from Anna, and then used these papers and pens to record the things he was interested in, just like when he went to the library in Anmen City when he was a child, and copied down the things he was interested in "One Hundred Thousand Whys", in fact, there was no special purpose, that is, interest, and a thirst for unknown things in this world.

"On June 24, 573 years of the sacred calendar, a crystal crown was excavated from an ancient ruin, just like the magical stone ball that was excavated before, this crystal crown can interfere with the surrounding gravity, and the stone ball is not the same, this crystal crown interferes with the range is extremely strong, and it is also extremely wide, according to the theory of Master Abram, gravity and space are corresponding, the previous stone ball because the gravity is too weak, can only prove that there is some subtle connection with the other world, but there is no way to do anything with these subtle connections, and the plan to open the door to space has also failed。 The discovery of the Crystal Crown is another milestone thing, His Majesty the Emperor approved the conduct of the space experiment for the first time, which is an excellent thing for us alchemists, we don't have to spend a long time explaining the necessity of this research to His Majesty the Emperor, because His Majesty the Emperor is also an alchemist, and there is a strong curiosity about everything in this world, and he is willing to put all the actions for this curiosity, therefore, the experiment began, this is the best era for us alchemists......”

"Abram......" Lu Tao is quite familiar with this name, after all, the author's name on the first notebook before is Abram, what kind of magical stone ball, Lu Tao also has an impression, isn't it the thing that makes the river flow backwards mentioned in the previous notes? As for the crystal crown...... The first thing that Lu Tao thought of was that the crown that Princess Sophie brought out, of course, now that crown has been taken away by Proas, but Lu Tao has also been in close contact with the crown before, and he has not found that it has any gravitational anomalies as mentioned in this notebook, so that the cursed crown and the crystal crown in this notebook should not be the same thing, right?...... Even if it's the same thing, it doesn't matter, if these people continue to die, and then open a door to the demon world, then continue to die, anyway, this world is already full of holes, just rely on the encouragement and support of the remaining people, if there is a king or leader of a certain country who wants to do something at this time, then there is no way at all.

However, when it comes to the reason for the disappearance of the Bright Empire, Lu Tao is much more interested, he flips through this notebook while writing down the content he is interested in on paper, it just so happens that the notebook in his hand belongs to the kind that can be borrowed, and copying the content inside is not against the rules.
