Chapter Twenty-Six: The Old Empire
Han Li cautiously pushed open the glass door and walked in tremblingly.
Meow!
As soon as she entered, a black kitten poked its head out of the corner of the counter.
Amber cat's eyes looked at her with ill will.
made Han Li feel cold and upside down.
"Best!" Just listen to the strange man's gentle call.
The black kitten fell obediently on the stranger's shoulder.
In the mist, the flowing fire in the eye sockets gradually brightened.
Han Li cautiously raised his head and met the kitten's cat's eyes.
In a trance, Han Li seemed to see the phantom of a pyramid, reflected behind the kitten.
A little bit of starlight, lingering around the pyramid, in the starlight, there seem to be countless mortals praying, praying, pleading, this kind of wishes, around the pyramid, interwoven into a sacred epic.
It's an ancient hymn.
It is also the precipitation of countless years.
Han Li hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look again.
…………………………
Ling Ping'an looked at the girl in front of him.
She seemed to be a little scared.
As soon as he entered the door, he was very restrained, and his expression seemed to be a little timid or afraid.
"Is it because of the book I bought last time?" Ling Ping guessed in his heart.
In his mind, he hadn't seen him for a few days, and this girl should have been trying to digest the knowledge of that book and carefully studying the techniques in it.
This can be seen from the dress on the girl's body.
Today she still wears that strange black tights, with a thin black veil.
But the temperament and image are very different from last time.
Not only is it less jerky, but it is more mature, and it even has a charming taste
This means that she has seen the book.
You've got the essence of the character!
This made Ling Ping an somewhat relieved.
But I'm afraid it's precisely because of this that this girl and her family have some kind of conflict? That's why she had to visit again in the middle of the night?
Ling Ping'an can imagine that the family that can cultivate the girl in front of him must be a typical old empire.
The Old Empire was the most conservative group of people in the Union.
They firmly believe in the ancient morals and values, and are eager to write loyalty, filial piety, courtesy, and righteousness into the Federal Magna Carta.
Therefore, his children and descendants, let alone play any role-playing.
I am afraid that if my children dare not follow the path they have set, they will be made difficult in every way.
Isn't it common for such parents to appear on TV?
Domineering, arrogant, conservative, and unreasonable.
Fortunately, these people were once hung and hammered by the emperors and generals of the founding of the Federation for decades.
Taizong and Gaozong also hammered.
Finally, they were convinced and accepted the ethical values of modern industrial society.
They were forced to endorse and obey the Federal Magna Carta and the spirit of women's emancipation.
Otherwise, maybe these guys will still treat women as inappropriately as they did hundreds of years ago, and maybe even their sons are their tools.
Of course, the old empire wasn't all useless.
These people believed in the power of the collective, and were the staunchest proponents of the great unification of the Federal Empire.
In the Federation's foreign wars and domestic development and construction, they are the group of people who have sacrificed the most blood and sacrificed.
Moreover, because they are extraordinarily united and have a burst of action, both the Datong faction and the republican faction have to cater to the preferences of these people, lest they vote for the other side.
Thinking of this, Ling Ping felt a little compassionate.
He knew how painful it was for the children of the old imperial family.
When he was in school, several of his classmates came from old imperial families.
In Ling Ping'an's impression, they are almost all crazy automatic humanoid learning machines, terrible reading frenhes and homework freaks.
Their lives are boring, and they can be burned as firewood.
Their lives are almost spent in learning, learning, learning and learning.
What's even more terrifying is that when these people grow up, they will impose their former way of life on their children in a brutal and domineering way.
It's horrible!
Anyway, Ling Ping'an felt that if he lived in such a family, he would be suffocated in a second.
What is the meaning of a life that can't fish and play games and write novels?
Therefore, Ling Ping'an praised the girl's spirit of resistance.
Of course, he also understands that it is difficult for a clean official to cut off family affairs.
What's more, he is not even an official.
After considering the choice of words, Ling Ping'an asked, "Was that book last time helpful to the guests?" ”
………………………………
Han Li was trembling and heard the strange man's question.
"Was that book helpful last time?"
The book in his arms, which has been quiet since he entered the fog, began to get excited after hearing this sentence.
Han Li could feel that the pages were hot, and worm-like things were writhing wildly.
So, she understood how to answer.
She bowed deeply and thanked, "Thank you for your generosity...... I was fortunate enough to be able to read such a profound and esoteric sacred text! ”
The book on her body was very satisfied with her answer.
So, it was immediately quiet.
Even the temperature suddenly became calmer.
This made Han Li breathe a sigh of relief and feel a little uneasy.
She looked up cautiously and said, "I took the liberty to come this time, I wanted to buy another book from you......
"I hope you can say yes!"
Ling Ping'an listened to the other party's words, frowned slightly, and felt that this little girl was a bit too much, just a book, and a holy scripture!
Still, he can understand.
On the forum, a group of big men still shouted 'wife' to the paper man all day long!
It's just that...... Role-playing is a new thing.
To be honest, in his bookstore, there are not many related books.
In addition to the entry-level book "The Secrets of Role Playing", there are several relatively heavy tomes.
Those tomes are not only much more expensive, but also not very friendly to newcomers.
He thought for a moment, and out of kindness, reminded: "Guest, in my opinion, I am afraid that you do not need to touch those more advanced content for the time being......
He carefully reminded implicitly: "There are some things, too early contact, but not good for ......"
"What do you say?"
…………………………
"Guest, in my opinion, I'm afraid you don't need to touch those more advanced content for the time being......"
"There are some things that are not good for ...... if you are exposed to them too early"
"What do you say?"
The voice of the weirdo, gentle and soft.
But to Han Li's ears, it was as if he saw through his own reality at a glance.
Of course, Han Li knew that now she couldn't even control the book in her arms.
If you get those 'profound' 'books' again.
Such as......
Upper Abyss Expedition Report......
I'm afraid that the moment I get it, I will be driven crazy by those crazy knowledge and forbidden content!
After all, now that she was almost collapsing, even listening to the 'Ascending Elixir'.
So, she immediately bowed and pleaded, "You're right! ”
"That knowledge is really too mysterious and profound for me......"
"Rash contact, the impact is too great......"
Ling Ping'an listened to the girl's words and looked at her sincere expression.
praised again in his heart: "Can it only be said that it is really worthy of being a child educated by the family of the old empire?" ”
"Even rebellion is so well-behaved, polite ......"
He thought for a moment and asked, "Then who is the guest this time?" ”
