Chapter 3: The Tree of Omniscience
"Little friend, how do you walk on this path? This is the way to the library of the All-Knowing Tree, are you on the wrong track? ”
A gentle voice reached Calando's ears, and Carlando turned around to see an uncle in his thirties parked beside him.
"Hello uncle, I didn't go the wrong way. I'm going to the Tree of All Libraries, where I want to read. ”
Carlando came back to his senses, looked at the bicycle under the middle-aged man's feet and the thick package on the front of the car, and suddenly remembered that he was actually about to go to the library of the Tree of Omniscience, so he had an idea in his heart, showing an innocent and studious look.
"Reading a book? What a good boy who loves to learn! Why don't you go with your family, this road is not close, just walk over? ”
The middle-aged man looked at Carlando with some surprise, he was the postman who delivered the letters, and was basically the first person to go to the library every day, except for the Tree of All-Science scholars. He didn't see anyone else on the way here, so he looked around carefully, but didn't find any adults.
"No, I'm the only one in the house."
"Uh...... Haha, do kids want to hitchhike? I'm the postman of the Tree of All Knowledge! The middle-aged man was slightly embarrassed when he heard this, but he quickly adjusted and came up with a good idea.
"Really? Can my uncle really take me to the library? "So smooth? Carlando really felt sleepy, someone sent a pillow.
"Of course, Uncle didn't send you specifically, I'm also going to send a letter to the library, just bring you, haha."
The middle-aged man asked Carlando to sit on the back of his bicycle and told him to hold himself tightly and not to fall.
In this way, Carlando took the postman's uncle's hitchhiker, admiring the endless greenery while chatting cautiously with the middle-aged uncle.
……
"Thank you Uncle Bruns for sending me, and thank you Uncle for the library card, I will return it to my uncle when I am finished. Thank you, uncle. ”
Carlando jumped off his bike and took the library card that Bruns had flipped out with both hands. On the way, he had a conversation with the middle-aged man, who mainly focused on his inquiry, and learned that the middle-aged man's name was Sadr Bruns, and that the Tree of All-Knowing Library had a strict borrowing system.
The Tree of Omniscience Library's collection is divided into three main parts, the most precious and rare historical books that confirm the authenticity of the books are placed in the innermost layer, and only formal archaeologists are allowed to enter them, and they can only read and transcribe them, and they are not allowed to take the original books.
The middle level is a variety of books that are difficult to buy but are not unique, among which history books are the most, followed by other types of knowledge books. Only other scholars and alternate archaeologists can borrow here.
The outermost layer is more complicated, there are all kinds of books, and the total number of books is more than the other two layers. You can borrow books as long as you have a library card.
There is also a small library in the town, which was built specifically for the town by the Tree of Omniscience archaeologists. It started with just a few basic general knowledge books and history books that archaeologists had copied from the Tree of Omniscience.
Later, through the donations of many people in the town and the funding of the Tree of Omniscience, the variety of books increased a lot. But it's either common sense or history, or poetry biographies, and after a simple search, Carlando didn't find anything useful, so he gave up.
"Haha, what a polite child. It's okay, there's no need to rush to return it to me, I don't usually have much time to read, and I'm very busy at work. If you don't have a way to get a library card, I'll find a way to get one for you. I remember the rules of the library, and my uncle went to deliver the letter. ”
Brunse smiled heartily, touched Carando's head, and turned the car around towards the place where the archaeologists were studying.
Holding back the discomfort, Bruns touched his head, and Carlando turned and walked towards the huge library in front of him. The Tree of Knowledge Library is built directly below the Tree of Knowledge, forming a structure that wraps around the trunk of the tree.
Stepping through the quaint door of the library, there is a long wooden table with many books neatly arranged on the table. An old man with slightly gray hair and heavy glasses had an extremely energetic complexion.
"Kid, whose kid are you? How come I haven't seen you? ”
The old man put down the book in his hand and looked at Calando, who walked in, and asked.
"Hello old man, my name is Hill Carlando. My father was Hill Dorott, and this was a library card that Uncle Bruns lent me and I wanted to read for a while and borrow some books. ”
"Hill Dorot? I remember him, he was a nice young man. Although he was not very talented and did not pass the archaeologist's examination, he has been collecting books for the Tree of Omniscience, and he is a great man. ”
"I'm sorry for you, he ran into a storm for the Tree of All-Knowing, and he left you early, and the scholars of O'Hara are sorry for you."
The old man stood up and walked up to Calando and touched his head with an apologetic expression.
"No, my father always taught me that people should try to do what they like. Although his father did not pass the exam, he was very happy to be able to collect books for the Tree of Omniscience. ”
Callando shifted his head unnaturally, and said nonsense to the old man in a high-sounding manner.
"Haha, that's right! That young man loved books and history so much. Little Carando, you have to work hard for what you like like like him. Also, you can call me Grandpa Pence. ”
Grandpa Pence walked back behind his desk, rummaged through the desk drawers, pulled out a library card and a few pieces of paper, and handed them to Carlando.
"Little Carlando, this is a library card guaranteed by grandpa, don't use the Bruns kid's library card, let him have more time to read the book! He loved to learn a lot when he was young, and it's hard to see him now.
This library card can be borrowed on the outer layer, and the middle and inner layers need a more advanced library card, you haven't grown up, and grandpa can't do it. On this paper is the type of book on the outer layer. ”
Callando took the things from Grandpa Burns's hand, thinking that it was really convenient to have a background, and if the father of this body was still alive, he could run away with him.
"Thank you, Grandpa Pence, I won't bother Grandpa to study, I remember the rules of the library and go to find books. Good bye! Grandpa Pence. ”
Carlando, thanking Grandpa Beburns, quickened his pace and walked in with some fiery heat.
The Tree of Omniscience Library has a total of six floors, and its outer floor is divided into three floors, that is, the first floor, the second floor, and the third floor. The middle floor is the fourth and fifth floors, and the inner floor is the top floor. Although I don't understand why it is not divided into lower, middle and upper levels, but these are not important, finding what he wants is the point.
Standing in front of the many bookshelves, Carlando looked at the paper in his hand.
"Sure enough...... The most accessible places to read are history books, followed by literature books, and then books from other subjects. And what I want...... It's a miscellaneous book here, right?,It's really not to take it to heart.。 ”
Carlando looked at the dozen or so places on the paper marked as miscellaneous books, which were really not taken seriously compared to the detailed labeling of other types of books.
"A dozen...... This is only the first layer, and it will probably take a while to find it, if any. ”
Thinking of this, Carlando walked towards the nearest miscellaneous book.
