Chapter 38: Library 1
It's autumn now, maybe it's because the climate here in Siwa City is relatively warm and not cool, and the nights in early autumn are similar to those in summer.
"I'm going to the library tomorrow. "After taking a shower, lie down and put on and hurry up to meditate.
The night passed.
Sunlight streams in through the wooden windows, and the dust on them flutters and swirls in the morning light. Without a coverer, Hollen, who closed his eyes and meditated, opened his eyes.
He hadn't forgotten that he was going to the library in Siwa City today, which was open to everyone. The museum is divided into three floors, and he plans to spend a day there today.
I washed up casually and changed into a new outfit. Yesterday's sweat-soaked clothes were directly soaked in water and rubbed a few times, wrung out and dried outside.
When he came to this world, his time was very tight. It's rare to be so laid-back today, and when you dry your clothes, you lament that there is no washing machine.
I heard that there are alchemy products similar to washing machines here, products created by alchemists, but there are no alchemists in the Principality of Moro.
It was a little inconvenient to go out and hold the Demon Breaker Bow, but his dimensional bag had no room for the longbow.
"Now that I have money, it's more convenient to change to a dimensional bag. ”
He came to the secret method shop and bought a high-grade dimensional bag with half a magic stone, this kind of high-grade goods can not only withstand relatively strong attacks, but also has a large internal space, the size of five square meters.
More than enough to place his Demon Breaker Bow.
Put everything in there, including the low-level dimensional bags that you don't need anymore, and there's a lot of extra space.
The library is very prominent, not far from the temple of nature, and is a quaint castle.
The hall is decorated like a church, except that there is no idol in the center. There was no place to sit in the entire hall on the first floor, except on the floor.
The shelves are far apart from each other, and the collection is not rich. The wooden shelves are separated by a crimson diaphragm-like material that wraps around the shelves.
This is to prevent fires, the use of red water chestnut gum, I have to admire the lord of Xiwa City, very far-sighted.
Books are expensive, and reading here is measured in time. Holren paid 1 gold pleer to the gatekeeper, after which the fee was calculated on an hourly basis.
Hollen walks the rows of shelves, looking for books that interest him.
Many of the books here are travelogues of famous people, but most of them are of little value to him, and there are some geographical chronicles that he is very interested in.
After looking for a long time, he didn't see the book he wanted, and asked the manager: "Why don't you have that book of world geography?"
The manager who was reading the book quietly raised his head, "There is only one book in the library, and if you don't see it, it means that someone has borrowed it, so you can look for it yourself." ”
"Okay. ”
It's quite frustrating about this, but fortunately, there are not many people reading books here, so it should be easy to find.
"Where?"
I kept scanning the people who were reading, and judging from the clothes, none of them were poor.
"Found it. Sharp-eyed, he saw the cover, which read: "World Geography" in the language of this world.
At this moment, the person reading the book is a young lady with long blonde hair scattered behind her head, a straight nose and long eyelashes that can be seen from Hollen's perspective.
Catherine, who was reading a book, noticed a shadow appear in front of her, and looked up in some fright.
Only then did Huo Lun see the other party's appearance clearly, his facial features were very cute, and his straight lips looked a little playful.
"Is there anything wrong with you?" said Catherine, smiling and polite.
"Hello, I take the liberty of disturbing you. ”
"I like this book very much, but it's the only one, so I can only come over and ask if you can let it go to me after you finish it. ”
Originally, Huo Lun planned to use the money to hit the other party and give it to him immediately, but a little girl is not too good to bully people.
"Ahh
"If you want to read this book, let it be you. ”
Catherine closed the thick tome, held it in both hands, and motioned for Holren to take it.
"Aren't you watching?"
Hollen honestly took the book in his hand, and it was quite heavy.
"No, I've actually watched it many times, so I'll come and see it in my spare time, and since you need it, I'll give it to you. ”
The blonde girl seemed a little shy, and after finishing speaking, she walked away in small steps.
The blonde girl left the library directly, ignoring the other party's somewhat incomprehensible behavior.
The book is very thick, it is the thickness of the literal meaning, thick and heavy.
The cover of the cortex, on top of which are forests, meadows and mountains, is drawn in the shape of one eye.
Flip open the thick cover and look at the first page.
It is a blank page with a cover-like background that reads: Griffin Geography of the World.
The preceding section does not refer to the Duchy of Moroch, but to another kingdom, and devotes a long section to describing the region.
Hollen took a cursory look at some of them and found the part he cared about the most, the world map.
On the world map in this book, the Duchy of Moro is not visible. It shares an invisible dot with several other countries, and a large area, while the rest of the country has no signs, only the southern ones.
He could only roughly guess that those same points should also be countries, and other forests, mountains and rivers and so on were also similarly marked.
Only then did I realize that this world was huge, and the continent where the Principality of Moro was located was only one of the continents. In addition, there are three similar continental plate patterns.
"There are no borders!"
The continent where the Duchy of Moro is located and the other two continents have been drawn in full shape, but the other continent has not drawn its borders for unknown reasons. It is also surrounded by endless sea water, which is also borderless.
In the sea, there are countless similar distributions of continental plate patterns. He couldn't figure out whether it was a continental plate or an island, and some of the islands were not much different from the mainland. At least as it appears above.
"Is there such a place in this world, with such a huge area, a continent and a sea without borders?"
Horen was a little incredulous, what a magical world.
Some of them read some other content, and finally found a description of the Principality of Moro in this book. This also gave him a preliminary understanding of some of the surrounding situations.
Don't get confused.
Aside from this 'Geography of the World', there was nothing left in the lobby on the first floor that interested him. The second floor is also similar to the first floor, with fewer books, but there are many separate small rooms where people can read books quietly.
"So there is a place to sit. "He sat on the floor and read a book as he read it.
