Chapter 58 The Central Library
Language and writing, legend has it that the gods have imparted abilities to humans.
The first words were not only visible images, but also contained "meaning" and "knowledge", and only prophets could grasp God's will.
Later, in order to make the oracle accessible to ordinary people, the prophet created a higher script and passed it on to the wise men of mankind.
The wise man then simplifies the text, writes to illustrate, and creates the most simple text layer by layer.
......
The legend of "Monkel Ancient Language" is a branch of the ancient demon language, which belongs to a higher language family passed on by the demon god to the human prophet.
If the "Secret Scroll" is a kind of genetic cultivation exercise, then the translation has to be more cautious.
The difference is thousands of miles, and the machine translation may not necessarily be in the context of the original text.
Just like the English of the previous life, the literal translation of the word "I" is "My grass", but in fact it should be "WTF" is more appropriate. (Don't complain about the author's English proficiency)
It's like classical Chinese... Who can guarantee that you will understand the exact meaning of what the ancients wanted to say?
Each word is translated correctly, but the meaning is completely different.
The "smart brain" is strong, but it is not omnipotent. But if there is such a person who is proficient in the "ancient Monkel language", the effect of the two translations is completely different.
......
In front of me is an excellent opportunity to crack the "secret scroll".
But if Wren gave up on this barbarian girl, it would mean that he might have given up on the accuracy of the contents of the secret scroll.
In the future, even if the "Zhi Brain" translated the content of the ancient secret scroll, he did not dare to guarantee that there would be no problem.
If it is really as Baron Morin guessed, it is a "Gene Source Power Cultivation Method". Zhi Brain translated a practice that may have been misstated, and he dared to practice it by himself? I'm afraid I don't want to go crazy.
Wren's eyes were stunned as he stared at the gradually drying words on the wall, but his mind was quickly weighing the pros and cons: "Now those people haven't come to the door, which means that they have lost the ability to accurately locate them." It seems that my previous judgment on dispelling the magic mark was correct. Even if those people had the ability to carpet the entire 'City of Radiance' inns and B&Bs, it would take a long time. If you're lucky, it's definitely okay to hide for ten days and a half months..."
If he can really fight for ten days and a half months, it will be enough for him to extract enough text content from the mouth of this barbarian chick!
When the time comes, Uncle Sam and they will be back, and all the troubles will be solved.
Thinking of this, Wren's eyes showed a touch of determination: "This risk, you can try it!" In case of danger, you can throw it away at any time! ”
Having made a decision, he looked at the barbarian chick beside him who was full of anticipation, and a plan was instantly in his mind.
"You're waiting for me here!"
Wren gestured to her and jumped out of the window again. After waiting for a long time, I changed into women's clothes and went to the front desk, and then opened another empty room next door!
The three caves of the cunning rabbit, if someone really came to the door, this also gave him plenty of time to escape.
......
After making an improvised bomb in the next room, Wren took the Barbarian chick to another room.
Now, even if someone finds the downstairs room, and then someone finds the upstairs room because of some mistake that Wren himself didn't realize...
This third room was also enough for him to have plenty of time to react.
Moreover, Rennes will check out frequently these days, making it impossible to determine their check-in time.
Although this will cost a lot of money, it is a necessary counter-last resort.
With all this done, Wren changed the Barbarian Chick into a normal hunter outfit, with a musket and long-sleeved leather pants that covered her signature brown skin and totems.
Then, he pulled the savage girl straight out of the door.
Wren wanted to get the "Monkel language" out of her mouth, so the two had to be able to communicate normally first.
So, first of all, he had to learn the language of the barbarians!
......
Whether it was the Omar Empire or the Side Empire, knowledge and books were always a luxury area that only the aristocracy could access.
For the ruling class, popular ignorance is more conducive to their consolidation of their class.
The "City of Radiance" is known as the capital of freedom, and knowledge is open to all.
【Great Polymath】Master Kavo is known as the most knowledgeable existence of mankind, with extraordinary foresight and vision. When he built the city, he immediately planned a library that could be called a palace of art.
In the fourth district, there is a large and beautiful glass building that occupies an area, which is the "Central Library" of the Shining City.
The total collection of books and ancient scrolls in the library exceeds 100 million, which is the largest library that cannot be compared with the two imperial royal libraries of Omar and Sid.
There are ancient scrolls, fragmented documents, stone tablets of various civilizations collected by hunters from the wasteland... All the antiquities that have been written.
Recently, the "Forest of Ashes" discovered the Savage tribe, and the hunters have brought back a large amount of written materials, as long as they are valuable, they can be exchanged for contribution points from the librarian.
If you want to find the most complete collection of "Monckelian script" and barbarian language materials, the Central Library is the best place to go.
The barbarian lady didn't understand what Wren was up to, but she let him lead her to the glass pyramid library, which was as beautiful as a diamond and glittered in front of her eyes.
......
The interior of the Central Library is not much different from the large library in Wren's previous life, and when you walk in, you feel like you have stepped into a sea of books, and as far as the eye can see, it is densely packed with bookshelves several stories high. All kinds of thick gilded classics bring a strong breath of knowledge to the face.
The difference is that there are exquisite magic crystal chandeliers, wooden bookshelves with various intricate magic formations, as well as magic doors like water curtains and some strange magic exhibits... It looks more like a museum of magical civilizations.
The all-glass ceiling also makes the library very bright, simple, mysterious and full of beauty.
This is one of the most impressive libraries Wren has ever seen.
On the first floor of the library is the Basic Literature Section, which is a place where everyone can borrow books for free, and there is a collection of introductory knowledge about history, literature, science, etc.
The library also has a comfortable reading area with mahogany chairs, but there aren't many people.
Except for the permanent residents of the city, few outsiders spend time here, after all, they also spend 10,000 miles a day in "asylum fees". The Hunters would rather spend this money on the belly of the girl in the Tavern than here.
Wren is really eager to look at those historical cultural classics and understand what this mysterious world is really like.
But he came here today for a purpose, and learning the barbarian language was a top priority, and he could not afford to have extra time to read idle books.
Glancing at the library's waymap, he instantly gave up on the idea of finding literature from this labyrinthine library on his own.
He went directly to the librarian and asked, "Hello, I would like to ask where I can find the classics of the barbarian tribal civilization that I discovered recently?" ”
The administrator knew everything about the library, and said without raising his head: "Area C on the second floor, where a large pile of barbarian literature has recently been collected. However, the second floor is a paid area, and if you want to spend a day there, you'll have to spend a little contribution value. ”
"Okay, thanks."
Wren nodded.
It is also reasonable that valuable knowledge needs to be consulted for a fee.
He glanced at the guide map before, and it seemed that there was a third floor in this library, where there were even all kinds of precious magic books, as well as some advanced knowledge of machinery, potions, and transcendence.
Wren felt that the library was really full of "treasures".
Knowledge is priceless, no matter what world it is.
But after all, the longevity of human beings is limited, and for ordinary people, just trying to read the books on this floor is probably not enough for a few lifetimes. There are also very few people who waste time on some unnecessary knowledge reserves. Doctors should study medicine, mages should study magic, warriors should be in the training ground...
Especially for the hunters who have their lives and fortunes, it is a waste of time to read a few books, and it is better to train more to enhance their combat effectiveness.
But this library, in Wren's eyes, is a treasure to be discovered.
Because... He has a "smart brain"!
