011 Returned in vain
Drain, drain.
The drizzle was still falling, and Holden stood at the intersection and looked left and right, and then realized:
Lost on your own.
It's not that he's a road idiot – he isn't, but because the urban planning is so rudimentary and rudimentary that he looks around the street for a long time, and he doesn't see any signs or signs, not even a simple map, so that he can't judge accurately.
Originally, it was three minutes from the main church of Umani to the library of Iwabuchi, but now it is not clear where he is.
Eventually, Holden questioned passers-by, asking as he went, going around about half a mile, and not knowing how many wrongful roads he had taken.
"I knew I would have stopped a carriage. "Holden was already soaked from the inside out, like a duck that had just been fished out of the lake.
The unit of measurement of the Leia Empire is very similar to the imperial unit of measurement of the earth, miles, feet, inches, and a mile is almost equal to 1,600 meters, but the measurement method is still not very accurate, so there are still some deviations from the imperial unit of measurement that "Hoden knows but doesn't know very well".
The same is true for the unit of weight, pounds, ounces, carats, and grains, and a pound is about 4,500 grams.
Half a mile, in fact, is about 800 meters, but it winds around the streets, and the straight-line distance also winds into a maze.
Hoden had thought very seriously about the option of taking a horse-drawn carriage to get there many times, but considering that he was shy and he had to go to the market to buy ingredients for lunch and dinner, he touched his stomach, and finally chose to give up and honestly walked towards the library.
"If you don't have a car, what about a bicycle?"
"After becoming a psyker, can I fly against the wind, for example, by controlling the wind elemental?"
"Or maybe it's a special item, like a witch's broom?"
The scattered thoughts in my mind are constantly surging, and at the same time, the attention is spread out to the corners of the streets, observing the city on the one hand, and the passers-by on the other—perhaps, the iceberg is gone, and the killers of the Umani Church are following and tailgating?
Although he expressed concern about his counter-reconnaissance capabilities, vigilance was necessary after all.
Unconsciously, the Iwabuchi Library appeared in sight:
The blue-black bricks are neatly arranged and piled up, the tall and solemn long wall takes the quaint dome in the center as the center, extending towards the surroundings, the magnificent buildings occupy the area of a whole small square, and the surrounding low buildings are instantly eclipsed; large areas of wisteria climb all over the walls, the verdant green overflows, and the flowers compete to bloom, swaying in the gentle breeze with the fragrance of midsummer.
At this time, Hoden was able to confirm that it was the height of summer in August, and even the turbid air had become refreshing, especially the drizzle had made everything around him much cleaner.
You don't need any special signs, but you can tell at a glance that this is the most famous building in Iwabuchi, the Iwabuchi Library, which is not even comparable to the City Hall and the Castle Lord's Palace.
Even if you look at the entire Norsnes continent, Iwabuchi is also known as the "City of Academy".
In addition to the city's four top universities, a psionic academy and a military school, six libraries of various sizes are also the resources of the continent, with different collections of different categories and majors, and the three world-renowned scientific and technological research institutes, all of which give Iwabuchi a unique position.
This is also the reason why the most mainstream church in Iwabuchi is the male god of darkness who presides over wisdom and death.
Among them, the Iwabuchi Library is known as the first collection in the mainland, compared with the other five professional libraries, this is a comprehensive collection of libraries, if you are not sure what reference books you need, or the guidance of specific majors, the Iwabuchi Library is the best choice——
Even if you can't find your target book here, the Iwabuchi Library will be able to find the corresponding instructions, and then go to the target library to find the answer.
Hodden hopes to find some guidance here: what does the icon under his body represent when he wakes up? Is it a forbidden pattern, and if so, can some of the parts find clues? Or can there be some connection?
He didn't expect the Iwabuchi Library to find the answer—if it was really a taboo, it probably wouldn't be laid out so loudly, but he really didn't have any clues right now, and maybe some clues could be found in the library's ocean, and that would be enough.
Or maybe it's okay to get a more complete picture of the Norsnes continent and the psykers.
However......
"Yes, we have an annual membership system here, because the collection is so rich, even if the Empire provides financial support, we still hope that every member can help us maintain those precious books by paying the membership fee. ”
"For the first time you apply for a membership card, you only need two kis, one of which is the annual membership fee, and one is the deposit, which can be returned when you return the card, and in the future, you only need to recharge one kiss every year, and then the rich collection of Iwabuchi Library will be fully open to you. ”
It only takes one kisth a year to open the richest library in the continent, and to be honest, the price can be said to be good and cheap - each newspaper needs a toot, and twelve newspapers a year is equivalent to the annual fee of the Iwabuchi Library, so you really can't ask for more.
But the problem is that it's really shy in the pocket.
Is it going to be a no-brainer today?
Hoden touched the three kiths in his pocket and thought for a moment, "Is this the only way?"
The librarian standing in front of him showed a shallow smile, looked at Holden slightly, and there was a clear light in the depths of his eyes, "Of course, the purpose of the establishment of the Iwabuchi Library was to hope that everyone could ignite their desire for knowledge. We open our doors to every seeker of knowledge. ”
"In addition to paying the annual fee, you can go to the town hall and fill out a form to apply, and they will review you, confirm the situation, and issue a free one-month library pass, which allows you to come to the library to browse books, but you are not eligible to rent books. ”
In addition, students from the four universities and the Sykepace College will be able to enter and exit for free with their student cards. The librarian nodded his head at Howlen, "I guess you're going to be ready to start school in the fall, right?" Wait, in a few days, your student ID will be coming back soon." ”
Here, she has seen too many young students who have come to study in Iwabuchi, and she is always more patient and friendly to these studious young people.
You must know that some children of nobles may not come to the Iwabuchi Library once in their lives after entering the university.
