Chapter 1107: The Advance of History

Throughout August, Lu Xi was naturally so busy that he couldn't even squeeze out a day or two of rest. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info He felt that he had overdrawn all the diligence of his life in almost a month, and suddenly he felt a sense of complacency. On the other hand, however, Professor Yavaru is nothing compared to the research team led by Professor Jones.

Led by two well-known historians, their students have been busy for more than a month, and the average sleep time of each person has not exceeded six hours, compared to Lu Xi, who must sleep enough for nine hours no matter how much work he has every day (even if he is reminded by the wind early in the morning, he will definitely find a nap to make up for it), this is the style of a serious social backbone.

Of course, this is also because the scholars themselves are quite enthusiastic about their work, they are well paid, they have no worries about food and housing (and they are all five-star treatment), they can concentrate on their favorite work, and they also have access to a large number of first-hand written records of the lost Age of the Gods, so what is there to complain about?

However, to bring forth the books that Barroos had given to his "library" was quite a huge undertaking, and it was not the work of an ordinary scholar who did not know magic. The pendant that Barroos gave to Lu Xi is called "Bunku", which is also a huge space vault. Of course, theoretically, it can store more than 5 million books inside, and that space should be above the palm of the sky, but this is not the case...... According to the librarian, the court alchemists of the Golden Empire were at the behest of the goddess Fein, sacrificing the rest of the functions of the Noble Phantasm in exchange for its huge storage space, but only books and nothing else. This is actually the last layer of insurance she is looking for for her proudest achievement, the "Nebula Palace Great Library".

In order to take out the books in the "library" in the form of physical objects, there are certain requirements for the user's mental power, perception and even the ability of alchemy magic.

Lu Xi was very worried that these so-called ancient books were ultimately just alchemical imitations of the users of the "library", but the books he took out were indeed imitations that did not have any traces of falsification and old age, which could be regarded as a little relieved. So he handed it over to Nanoka and Fett. Well, it's mainly Fett, and it's also Fett who is holding the magic pendant, she has strong enough mental power to communicate and read the data in the star magic fall, and she is also very calm and steady in her work. It wouldn't be so reassuring if the natural black red fool was the main one, so the main responsibility was to lay down and bodyguard.

The workload brought by the two soft girls is absolutely amazing, and it is estimated that several printing houses in Neosfia will not have to worry about business in a few years. However, with a huge print run of more than 500,000 copies, how could such a small semi-manual workshop be able to handle it in a short time? Fortunately, Fett is not a natural black-red stupid person with a tendon after all, she is demure and steady, and she quickly figured out the use of the "library", and found that there are not only books inside, but also can directly access the content of the books, as long as you figure out the composition of the storage magic formula of the information of these books, as well as the sorting method of the magic pattern consultation in them.

Based on the book information he obtained, Fett made a list of his own, first extracting the historical materials that had been lost in the later period of the Golden Empire. Because these are the first-hand materials that are needed for essay writing.

And just extracting these 10,000 books will make the two super archmage-level soft girls choke enough. Of course, the originals of nearly 10,000 copies of various historical books have been sent to the vault on the ground floor of the Future Science and Technology Building, but the printing of two sets of copies alone has caused three small printing houses to work overtime at full capacity for a month. Of these two sets of copies, one will be kept in Lu Xi's hands for the time being, and then depending on the sincerity of Ocean University, it will be considered whether to send it to the Infinite Book City. The other set has naturally been sent to Professor Yavaru's archaeological laboratory as research materials. It is now home to a research team on the current subject, and the protection and patrolling are all handled by the core security team of the Drow Nightkin and Narwhal Chamber of Commerce of the Future Chamber of Commerce.

Lu Xi, who arrived at the office in the dark, was facing the ground with a hot scene. All the research assistants have sorted out more than 10,000 truckloads of various materials and labeled them with obvious labels...... It's really sad that in the computer and information age, the work that can be done by a college student assistant now needs the help of a dozen elite researchers. This made Lu Xi subtly awe of these emotionally charged historians.

When Lu Xi arrived, the two professors had just finished interpreting and remarking an official Nord history, and were about to take a break. So, knowing that he was at a loss, he handed over two cups of strong coffee and two sepiolite buckets filled with the finest tobacco.

Both professors have a penchant for smoking, which may be that they both have a history of staying up late to work, right?

Professor Yavaru, who had dark circles under his eyes but his expression was extremely excited, took a deep breath and spit out a smoke ring with a pleasant taste, and then said happily: "The information is actually almost organized." From now on, we will start preparing the proposition of the thesis. ”

"The proposition of the thesis? Haven't you decided yet? Lu Xi was slightly startled, and when he saw the wry smiles of the two scholars, he immediately realized their embarrassment.

Professor Yavaru initiated this archaeological research in order to find out the unknown historical records of the last years of the Golden King Age, and theoretically, his idea was the motivation that triggered the subsequent S-class mission, so Lu Xi naturally did not hide it from him. Except for the meeting with the goddess sisters in the Pure Land of Bliss, it was too shocking to say, so he only told them about the wind (of course, he concealed the benefits that the goddess sisters gave at the end), and he didn't hide everything else, and completely came out.

The Golden King Gil Salad was possessed and controlled by the Chaos Demon, and he was the one who killed the goddess Fine. The final battle of the gods, the destruction of the world, the second creation, and the cause of all the calamities and catastrophes caused by Gil Salad himself. If all this is recorded and the truth is released, I don't know what kind of uproar it will cause - you must know that even now, many of the historical aristocratic lords, the legitimacy of their rule and the source of the noble blood are the titles and official positions obtained during the Gil Salad Empire, including even the founding emperor of the Griffon Dynasty of the Auckland Empire, and the Hildar Great, who was recognized as the father of the nation by all three major dynasties.

Well, if it's hard to understand, you can put yourself in that way. If in Lu Xi's hometown, there is an academic paper that proves that the Yellow Emperor is actually a tyrant who kills innocents indiscriminately and acts as a despicable villain, what will be the consequences?

Eh, it seems that someone has really done this, but it's a novel, and the author is a man with a lot of black history, although there are a lot of brainless fans who have been fooled, but overall, the consequences of the impact are not too bad. And after all, it was an era of scientific and technological prosperity, the red flag was falling into a trough, capital was restored but also began to decline again, various trends of thought and various isms were surging, and the speed at which ordinary people received consultation was several times that of the royal family and nobles with the best educational conditions in any previous era, and the ability to endure group beatings and the degree of enlightenment were of course not the same.

Most of the people who eat melons can already accept all non-mainstream remarks with an indifferent attitude, at most they will be cared for as mentally retarded, and if the other party is really too much, it will be just a slap on the door......

However, the current Middle Ages are different! Negative defense goods are the mainstream of society.

The two professors were really worried that if such a paper was written, it would be just a group of people from the academic community. But if one day, a powerful radical suddenly slapped his brain and let himself disappear from the world with these precious materials, wouldn't it be a hundred? Yes, rulers who feel that the legitimacy of their rule is threatened, do everything.

"The above information comes from Gil Salad himself and his collection of resentful spirits, all of which I have heard and seen with my own ears, but there is no written record that can be used as evidence, and even if it is written, it will be regarded as a fool, so why should we bother?" Lu Xi shrugged.

Professor Jones breathed a sigh of relief, but a hint of regret flashed across his face; Professor Yavaru sighed faintly and nodded hesitantly. They were obviously a little unwilling, but they didn't raise any objections.

As a historian of conscience (this time literally) and discipline, it is clear that such an important discovery has been made, but he can only keep his mouth shut, which may really make them want to be dissatisfied.

Seeing the expressions of the two professors, Lu Xi felt that he still needed to brainwash more, so he said: "Maybe in the future, someone will find more authoritative historical evidence in this regard, or in the future, the acceptance of ordinary people will be higher...... But all in all, it is not our duty to make an assessment of the Golden King, Gil Salad, which is contrary to the mainstream historiography. If you go beyond half a step, you are a genius, and if you go beyond a step, you are crazy, this has always been a wise saying. I think that the topic of our dissertation should focus on the transformation of the heyday of the dynasty to its demise at the end of the Gilsarad Empire, political corruption, national luxury, flashy folk customs, the great success of the army, and the gradual intensification of class and social contradictions. Gil Salad's Golden Empire, no matter how great, was a mortal kingdom after all, and the existing mainstream human 'history books' describe it as if it were a mythical Eden. ”

Hehehehe~~~ Lack of reliable historical materials on Nima to take myths and poetry as history, the world's human historiography is very similar to the hometown of Baipi's historiography. Historians like Professors Avaru and Jones are the conscience of the academic community.

Lu Xi expressed his scorn to the historiography of the world, thought about it, and said: "Yes, in addition to restoring the true appearance of the Gilsarad Empire in its later years, what we should show more is the last effort made by the goddess of Phyin to save the country and let the country and civilization continue to move forward!" You have already seen the original text of the stone tablet that the goddess left outside the Great Library of Urk that I found for you, right? ”

"Yes...... Not only did they see it, but there were also pictures of the Titans burned by secret methods, as well as written records of it by mortal elves and Nords. Well, although the stele should have been destroyed, some people will inevitably question it, but since there is already supporting evidence, of course, it can be used as evidence in the paper. Professor Yavaru nodded silently.

Professor Jones sighed, "I really can't imagine that, this is what Goddess Fein really expects from us mortals!" And when she finds that the empire she has built and cultivated with her own hands has become the biggest obstacle against her, how desperate will it be! ”

"Yes, this should be our main direction!" Lu Xi said seriously: "There are many articles on the Golden King, even more on the Golden Empire, and many articles on the origin of the War of the Gods, but who is seriously studying the inner world of a reformer from the perspective of the goddess Phoenix?" She used to be a great imperial empress, a great statesman, even if she didn't do anything, she would never lower her historical evaluation, but she still did it without hesitation. In the end, he became a failed reformer and, in desperation, ended his life. ”

"No, she's never despaired! Not at all! Professor Yavaru's eyes widened, and he retorted seriously, "Otherwise, the goddess would not have passed the regulations of the Imperial Military Academy to admit civilian children in the last month of her life. In fact, in the later Age of Annihilation, many heroes who led mortals to continue to fight and strive to survive had the opportunity to receive higher education by worshipping the goddess! ”

Well, Mr. Professor, who is in the herbivore department, only in this field that he loves and is best at, will he show this kind of aggression without giving an inch.

Lu Xi couldn't help but be happy: "Look, isn't this the topic coming out?" He walked around the mountain of historical materials, scanned his eyes, and soon found a historical document, which was the notes of Talvio, the Titan's last ambassador to Urke. The day he left office was also the moment when the three major decrees of the goddess Phyllum were rejected on the spot during the court discussion.

"The final struggle of a goddess who is full of compassion and hope for the world, but who keeps failing! As a young historian with a conscience, do I have the responsibility to tell you once again what the Goddess left to the world? ”

Professor Jones couldn't help but smile bitterly: "...... However, this topic cannot be said to be without hidden dangers at all. This passage that the goddess Phyin left outside the Great Library of Urke, this, hey...... With my own wisdom and realm, I really can't comment on it! ”

Professor Jones is a highly educated, well-read history professor and a well-known adventurer and treasure hunter who has lived in a relatively lawless world for most of his life. However, even such a person, in the current era when the royal system is the mainstream, still shows uncontrollable doubts and hesitations about the "chicken soup for the soul" of Goddess Fei Yin (in Lu Xi's view) that is very bland and even has the second middle school, which is the so-called historical limitation, right?

But there is power in this passage! This is also the legacy she wants to pass on to us mortals who came after! The professor said suddenly.

…… Well, strictly speaking, every society in the early stage of change is actually in the middle and second periods, and the words of passionate struggle are also the most likely to resonate with society. What's more, the world standing before the gate of the leading industrial age has indeed reached a period of ideological change, and the black history of the golden king Gil Salad has not yet reached the time when it has all been rediscovered, but the modern ideas of the goddess Fine's modern ideas on equal rights for all and the political reform ideas on class emancipation are also time to be seen by the world as a failed but great historical experiment.

It is the responsibility of politicians and even the whole society to learn from history, but it is the duty of historians to tell everyone the real history.

The two professors looked at each other, and suddenly they both had a sense of historical mission, and their blood boiled spontaneously.

"Since the beginning of this month, I've been coming to your lab every night at six o'clock to help, just as I'm part of the research team. Anything that can speed up the progress of our work and make the paper take shape in advance, you can inform you at any time, and I will do my best to solve it! Lu Xi said to the two professors, his face filled with a certain evil taste, no, the martyr and the forerunner were as brilliant and dazzling, as if he was a thinker who brought about the change of civilization.

Well, it seems to be fun to use historical research to pour a little bit of personal work! But am I digging up Karin and Artoria's ancestral graves?

Professor Yavaru didn't think as much as Lu Xi, and he smiled happily on the spot: "That's really helpful!" I've always felt that our research team is perfect with your involvement! ”

Mr. Herbivores is really not saying kind words. With Lu Xi, the party who has obtained first-hand information, and the great magician, the efficiency of everyone's data retrieval will be increased several times, and in the same way, with the participation and signature of a big man like him, this kind of research results that will inevitably cause a sensation will not be suppressed or stolen!

Who says herbivores are necessarily scheming? (To be continued.) )
