Chapter 1656: Untitled (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Subscription, Asking for a Recommendation) Asking for a Monthly Pass!!
All in all, this book is an absolute rarity! Solam didn't expect that Candle Castle would be so generous that he would place this kind of thing in the public library! Although the books in the central tower of the Candle Castle are not allowed to be borrowed, they can only be viewed inside the tower, and the books are not afraid of being taken away here. But the problem is that the book should have been kept in a museum or something like that, and kept in good place, rather than being left out with a big grin.
Books are a thing that will break if it's been turned over for a long time!
Soram carefully held the book in his arms, and then slowly removed it from the shelf. Soram is really afraid, if the book is broken, Candlefort will definitely not let Soram lose money, and it is estimated that the best outcome is that a group of intellectual monks beat Soram violently, and then throw Soram into prison, leaving Soram rotten in prison.
"Old man, I think, let's change the book, this thing is broken, the consequences are too serious...... I think I'd better leave it to the intellectual monks. This group of guys is really too sloppy to put such a thing in a public area, and they are not afraid of breaking this peerless treasure! ”
Instead of handing it to the old man, Solam carefully wiped the book as if it were dusty. It's true that Soram is a rough person in general, but Soram really doesn't have the courage to mess around with books of this size. Not to mention anything else, it's just that this book can be preserved intact from 10,000 years ago, after so many disasters, to this day, this thickness is enough for Soram to respect.
Otherwise, this book is fine in the war of Nethriel's expansion, and there is no accident in Nethrair's thousand-year history, and even a huge disaster such as the fall of Nethriel's era still hasn't happened, and then the war on the continent for 10,000 years I don't know how many rounds it has experienced, and this book is still very fine, but something happened in his hands, then Soram will be poked in the back, even if Soram is nervous, he is a little frightened.
Unexpectedly, the personable old man didn't care about Solam's advice, and naturally took the book from Solam's hand. He rubbed the cover of the book and said with a smile: "It's not that exaggerated, this is not the real book, but a replica." Otherwise, it wouldn't have been placed here, and the real book had been placed in the 'static force field' on the top floor of the central tower, how could it be so easy to be seen. ”
As soon as Soram heard this, his whole body relaxed a lot. Solam had a good sense of the old man, and he didn't want him to be thrown into prison by the monks of knowledge for such a.
"Whew, that's fine, that's fine. If it's really the real thing, then it's really too much trouble. ”
After Soram relaxed, he remembered that although this book was precious, it was worthless in terms of the value of its contents! This book is a geography major book in NY326, but now it is DR7600, more than 10,000 years in between!
(NY is the Nether year, the modern year is DR, the Netherel Empire fell around NY3520, and then a few more centuries later, around NY4188, the last city-state of Netherel disappeared, and the Nether year became completely history, and the mainland began to use the continental year, that is, DR)
More than 10,000 years! The world has long been in flux. The geographical knowledge of that time has no meaning at all for Ferren today, it has lost its professional function, and all that remains is the historical significance of the book.
In short, the book is basically of no use other than staying in a museum.
"You're a student of history?" Soram asked curiously. This ancient book of expertise is now only studied by historians. Now that Netheril has fallen, people can only glimpse some fragments of that glorious era from the remaining books.
"No, I'm more fond of literature and invention, and I can only say a little bit about history, and I haven't studied it carefully." The old man did not hide Solam's problem, but said happily.
"So what do you want this book for? The geographical knowledge in this has long been disjointed by modern geography and is completely useless. Somehow, Soram actually stood there and chatted with a stranger, but Soram was fine anyway, and it didn't hurt to talk.
Faced with Solam's question, the old man suddenly sighed a little emotionally. He rubbed the book in his hand, sighed and said, "Maybe it's for remembrance?" After all, that era was really really exciting, after Netheriel, Faeron fell into a confused and even barbaric atmosphere, new knowledge became less and less, people became extremely conservative about new things, and even some places even rejected all new knowledge, compared to that time, the current era is simply a cold winter of knowledge. ”
Hearing the old man's words, Soram didn't feel strange. For this is what the Ogmar believers really think about this age. This attitude is a bit like that of the Confucian scholars in ancient China, who longed for the ideal state of the three generations, and at the same time felt that their own era was the era of the collapse of etiquette and music.
The followers of Ogma have always been very dissatisfied with the current situation on the mainland, and they believe that the attitude of modern society towards knowledge is too poor and too ignorant.
In the face of this complaint, Soram doesn't know how to speak, is it comfort? Don't be funny, how can he comfort others with such a great writer? Solam has every reason to believe that others know more than he does. Besides, if you really want to talk about it, no one else is wrong. After thousands of years of development, the Faren Continent has not made any progress, which is also drunk.
In the past few thousand years, China has progressed from a primitive society to a slave system, then from a slave system to a feudal system, and then from a feudal society to a centralized system, and then rapidly entered the modern society. Whether it is in terms of productivity, economy and culture, there have been earth-shaking changes for a long time.
But what about Feeron? For thousands of years, there has been little progress in the social system and productive forces, and the aristocracy is still the nobility, and the commoners are still the commoners.
Salted fish don't want it.
Seeing that Solam was silent, the old man also smiled suddenly, and then said to Soram a little apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it must be annoying for a young man like you to listen to an old man like me complain, right?" ”
Soram was a bit of a thinker, after all, Soram really didn't have much interest in this thing. So Solam scratched his head embarrassedly: "Hey, hey, it's not, I just think what you said is a bit profound, and I don't know how to take it." ”
