Chapter 160: The Library

Inside the royal palace

The waiter has long since left the room,

Harris was kneeling in front of Wren,

This black prison leader, who was famous in the royal capital, rarely had such a respectful gesture.

Harris has been in charge of the Black Prison for more than ten years during the old emperor's time,

It stands to reason that the new king is on the throne, and he should be more willing to replace his henchmen in a department like the Black Prison.

But to the disappointment of the nobles of the royal capital, Harris, who was in charge of the Black Prison, quickly gained the trust of the new king and was still as stable as Mount Tai.

"Get up, it's such a big battle every time."

"Yes, Your Majesty"

At Wren's order, Harris got up.

"That Richard, what's the problem?"

"The power around him seems to be abnormally strong, but it shouldn't have anything to do with the Cult of the Rising Sun?"

"Why did the people of the Cult of the Rising Sun attack him?"

"The cause of this hasn't been ascertained yet, but..."

"Say"

"But I suspect that this has something to do with the Lanster family, but there is no evidence."

"Let's talk about it when we find the evidence."

"Yes."

Harris's suspicions are not unreasonable, although there is no evidence, but from the motive to investigate,

It seems that the Lanster family has a certain suspicion,

But in the past, the Lancet family was quite resolute in its attitude towards attacking the Cult of the Rising Sun, and they really didn't dare to make a conclusion on this matter.

But this kind of thing is definitely not something that can be convicted by a little suspicion, especially when it comes to a top nobleman like the Lancet family, it is even more cautious.

"This won't affect the next plan."

"No, everything is still under the control of the Black Prison."

"Well, other things can be put on hold for the time being, and this plan must be foolproof."

"Yes"

When he had finished explaining the matter, Harris retired and left the palace.

The reason why Wren was able to accept Harris and let him continue as the leader of the Black Prison is simple,

This kind of person seems to be majestic, but in fact, all the power is based on the royal power, and he and the royal power of the Charman family are in a state of both glory and loss.

Harris is a smart man, and Wren is not stupid, both understand the nature of the position of the leader of the Black Prison, and the two naturally hit it off.

After Harris left, Wren didn't call the waiter, and sat alone in the room, tapping a few fingers lightly on the tabletop.

"Lucky Wren..."

The corners of his mouth curled slightly.

I don't know that Wang Du may have a lively and lively Richard's life has been very regular these days,

The canonization of a new marquis is a big event for the kingdom, the ceremony needs to be prepared for a few days, and the date has been set a long time ago.

Richard arrived a little early, and it was definitely impossible for this kind of big event to come in time, so he could basically just wait and wait, and if he didn't want to be too bored, he had to find something to do on his own.

After declining the invitation of most of the nobles, Richard has basically spent all his time in the library of the royal capital these days.

It's not that Richard coldly disdains to associate with other nobles, it's just that this kind of invitation is generally not easy to accept.

If you don't know which side you are on, you will simply refuse all of them when you are unclear about the political pattern of the royal capital.

The Central Library is the largest library in the kingdom and has the largest collection of books in the kingdom.

Richard arrived at the library early, and Zeble followed him to the door of the library and waited aside.

"Mr. Bellomo, here I go again."

The librarian's name was Belomo, a little old man with a gray beard.

is also a learned scholar in the royal capital,

Although Belo Mo has no title, he has no cultivation,

But Richard always looked up to people who could be librarians, probably out of respect for knowledge, and Richard was quite respectful of Berromo.

Bellomo, on the other side, nodded, in response, then lowered his head and began to study the book in his hand.

With Belomo's knowledge, how can he mix a good errand in the royal capital, and some nobles invited him to be a teacher in order to improve their own qualifications.

But for Bellomo, librarian is the most suitable job for him,

You don't have to deal with people too much, and you can still read well, so why not.

Although Belomo's attitude seemed a little perfunctory, he had a good impression of this young man who had been soaking in the library every day for the past few days.

In his opinion, in this impetuous era, there are not many young people who can come here every day to read seriously.

Richard didn't care if Belomo's attitude was perfunctory or not, and walked straight into the museum.

There are very few people in the library, and this place is more like a repository than a public facility in a sense.

In this era of precious knowledge, it is impossible for a place like a library to be open to the common people.

Even if the books in it don't deal with the breathing method and the cultivation method of qi induction.

And this library still has to charge a fee, and the fee is not low, and the low-level nobles are not very willing to go.

Although the collection of books inside is rich, this knowledge is more like the icing on the cake for the high-ranking nobles,

I don't have time to soak in it all day, and more often I think of something to come to the library to look up materials.

There are even fewer people like Richard who soak in it all day.

Go to the fifth row today, there are a few books there that might be useful,

What Richard wants to see is not some practical books, but books such as historical books of the mainland or biographies of some celebrities.

Most of these books are solitary books, which can only be seen in the Wangdu Library, and it is only a shame for Yusi to collect them.

Richard stood by the shelves and began to pick out the books he was going to study today, there were too many books in the library,

Always have a purposeful look, and after a glance, Richard took a very thick book,

The title of the book is "Where the Gods Go"

Richard has always wanted to know about things, and he has been wondering if there is a guy of God's level in this world.

This kind of world where people can cultivate great power by themselves, and the existence of several powerful beings who claim to be gods is actually very common-sense.

But until now, Richard has not found any trace of this, the only Cult of the Rising Sun, it doesn't look like there is a god behind it, otherwise it would have ended a long time ago if it was targeted by the kingdom like this.

"All historical sources show that the gods once existed, and that in the time of the Elven Empire there was the goddess of the sun, who was in charge of the light, and there was the lady of the night, and there was the god of knights, and in the books of the elves they really existed and appeared.

However, in the middle and late stages of the Elven Empire, these gods gradually turned into symbols, and there are no more stories of gods walking the world..."

The author is a patient person, and completely sorted out the records of the gods and spirits during the Elven Empire in the book.

It is probably concluded that the gods exist, but they disappeared en masse in the middle of the Elven Empire, and speculated that the disappearance of the gods may have something to do with the decline of magic.

As for why there are no churches of all kinds in mankind now,

The reason is also very simple, human beings were only a slave class in the elven empire at that time, and they were not even qualified to believe in gods.

The only goddess of the sun, who seemed to have some kindness to humans, was so madly worshipped by humans at the time that there is still a cult of the rising sun.

"It's not as simple as I thought."

Richard closed the book, and the sun was already in the middle, and before he knew it, almost a morning had passed.

"Excuse me, do you also believe in the existence of gods?"

At this moment, a timid female voice interrupted Richard's thoughts,

Although the voice was a little weak because of shyness, it made Richard listen very comfortably, and he couldn't help but want to see what the owner of the voice looked like...
