Instinctively told Arthur that he had to go there, and despite Werther's suggestion to find a hotel first, and without saying why, he walked straight to the building, and Werther and Nein had to follow.
When you look closer, the difference between this tall building is even more obvious.
Most of the architectural style of Sai'an is simple and unpretentious, and this building is carved with a large number of reliefs, and the style is not only exquisite, but even gorgeous, which makes the three people from remote villages and towns can't help but look up and admire.
"The Se'an Library, what a magnificent place. Werther sighed.
"But does the library need so many guards?" Arthur wondered, there were six guards at the door, and each of them had a very serious expression, and the whole person did not move, like six straight humanoid statues standing in the doorway.
After the three of them entered the library, they saw many guards standing guard or patrolling, which made the atmosphere of the already serious library even more depressing.
"Maybe Thean attaches great importance to the protection of books, right?" said Naine with some uneasiness.
She simply thinks that the duty of the guard is to protect the book, but Arthur doesn't think so.
He carefully observed the guards in armor and armed arms, and found that the guards, whether patrolling or standing, read the books in the hands of the readers, and scanned the titles of the books.
Arthur didn't understand, what was the point of doing this, who liked to read what books, did this kind of thing matter, what was the ruler of Thean thinking?
The three of them were full of expectations for the Sai'an Library, and they thought that there must be many books related to the spirit shadows and contractors in a large library like this, but they searched the entire library, and only found some books that recorded the heroic spirit master, and could not find other related books.
In addition to searching for books related to the Contractor, Arthur was also looking for books documenting the history of Bangor Zait, and again found nothing.
The library is huge, but the types of books are extremely simple, and most of them are related to religion. Arthur flipped through a book and read "The Supreme God" or "Holy Church" once, and he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, very irritated.
"What a broken library, it's just a pretense, it's full of books praising God and praising the church, what's the use of such books!" angrily threw another copy of "God Saves the World" back on the shelf, Arthur couldn't help but explode, and the sound made the people around him look at it, even the guards looked at it.
Nain, who was originally looking for it on the other side of the bookshelf, heard the sound and hurriedly rushed over, reaching out to cover the mouth that was going to continue to vent his dissatisfaction, so that the shouts turned into a series of "woo woo woo".
"Arthur!" Nayin whispered anxiously into Arthur's ear, "This is the library, don't talk loudly!
Just as he was being pulled by Nayin and walking towards the less crowded area, Arthur found that in the deepest part of the top floor, there was a dark red door, and the doorway was also guarded by guards.
Instead of taking Nain's hand, Arthur pulled Nain towards the strange door, and the mere fact that there were eight guards guarding him completely aroused the boy's curiosity.
However, before he could reach the door, the guard standing on the outermost part took a step forward, his tall body almost blocking the entire door, he looked at Arthur condescendingly with a straight face, wide eyes, and sternly reprimanded: "This is a forbidden area!
Although blocked, Arthur had no intention of giving up, and his curiosity made him temporarily suppress his dissatisfaction with the guards, and politely asked: "What is in the forbidden area? Is it also a book?"
"It's all forbidden area!" the guard obviously didn't have much patience, and he glared even harder, putting on a fierce look, "Hurry up and leave!"
"I just want to know what kind of books they are, and since they're all in the library, why don't you let them read?
"What are you talking about!?" the guards glared at Arthur, and the guard who blocked it drew his sword and pointed it at Arthur, "You want to taste the taste of imprisonment and punishment, don't you!?
Arthur was already holding his breath, watching the guard draw his sword, and his hand subconsciously touched his waist.
"Is it great to have a sword?
Because it was useless to pull the clothes, and the situation was urgent, Nayin had to pinch Arthur. Seeing the boy hissing in pain, Naine smiled and gestured with his eyes.
Knowing what Nayin meant, Arthur didn't intend to leave it at that.
Just as he was about to shout, he suddenly reached out from behind and pressed down the black-haired head, forcing the man to bow to the guard.
"I'm really sorry, we are travelers, we don't know the rules when we first arrived in Se'an, please forgive me, let's leave. ā
It was Werther who heard the shouting, and he bowed with Arthur, so polite that the guard could not say anything, and muttered a few words before leaving and put away his sword.
Witt pressed his head, Nayin covered his mouth, and together the two of them carried Arthur out of the library and into a remote alley.
Seeing that there was no one around, Witt let go, and breathed a sigh of relief, and said helplessly: "You, you know that you can't make sense with them, why bother with them?"
Even if he understood the reason, Arthur still danced and cursed a few times after regaining his freedom, and Naine laughed softly when he saw that there were obvious finger prints on his rapidly opening and closing mouth.
According to the experience accumulated so far from traveling, the best place to get information is a hotel or tavern, and the three of them find a tavern that looks lively to find out the news, and settle lunch together.
"It turns out that you are travelers, how are you, are you still comfortable coming to Sai'an?"
The owner of the bar was a thin, middle-aged man, well-dressed, with short dark brown hair and a neat beard under his nose.
Although it is a courtesy of hospitality, his smile is sincere and kind, giving people a sense of warmth.
After hearing Arthur and the others' comments on Sean's atmosphere, he couldn't help laughing, and said while wiping his wine glass: "It's understandable. Cybians like us may not feel it, but the travelers may be a little uncomfortable, after all, it is the sphere of influence of the Church. ā
Putting down the bread, Arthur's eyes widened: "The Church's sphere of influence?"
"Oh, little brother, don't you know? ā
Arthur shook his head: "Church power, meaning that the power of the church is greater than the power of the local lord?"
The boss was surprised: "Why, the little brother is completely unclear about Lufia's current situation." ā
"We come from a small, remote and isolated place. "One of the purposes of travel is to gain knowledge. āć
"I see, then I will explain it, so that you will not get into trouble in the future. ā
