Yod City Citizen Library.

After spending a few silver coins and obtaining a reading card, Green was granted temporary access to the library.

The Civic Library is not very large, and there are only a few shelves of books in total, which looks similar to some small bookstores on the planet, except that it is more spacious and has chairs that allow people to sit and flip through books.

After entering the library, Green did not hesitate, went straight to the miscellaneous book area, and took down the legendary novel that he had not finished reading last time.

Sitting in a chair in the library, Green put the novel down and began to flip through it.

Taylor the Knight is a book about a certain Templar named Taylor who goes on adventures and helps others.

From the perspective of earthlings, this novel is very rubbish and the storyline is very boring, but it can help Green quickly understand some of the culture, history and common sense of this world.

As a time-traveler, Green's understanding of the world is very poor, and information such as history, culture, society, and common sense is what Green needs most at present.

As a time-traveler, Green's vocabulary is very limited. So after reading half a page, Green had to cast a spell.

————

Literacy: Able to understand the meaning of any text.

Cost to use: 2 mana/hour.

————

This is the fourth ability that Green has taken the initiative to master after [Identification Technique], [Proficient Language], and [Enhanced Absorption].

This is a very useful ability, which not only allows Green to understand the words of this world and prevent himself from being deceived, but also allows Green to quickly grasp the words of this world. At the same time, the consumption of 2 mana/hour is not too high, and with the total amount of mana of Green, it can almost make it permanent.

The feeling of using [Literate Text] is amazing.

When he saw the words, Green could immediately know the general meaning of the words, but his understanding of the meaning was somewhat vague. It feels like reading a "very bad machine translation", and you can understand the general meaning of the article in context, but you can only understand the meaning of "probably", and once the "machine translation" encounters some special nouns, or creatures that do not exist on the earth, the translation result will make people look at it in a fog.

After sitting in the library for a long time, Green finally finished reading the remaining half of the book.

After reading the novel in his hand, Green turned to the first few pages.

These three words ...... 'devil', 'devil', 'monster'. All have the meaning of 'evil things', but ...... They are supposed to refer to three distinct creatures. Green frowned slightly.

Obviously, there are no "devils" and "demons" on earth, and both "devil" and "demons" are just adjectives, but in this world, these three words refer to three very different evil creatures.

"Demons" and "Devils" are both evil beings living in the outer planes.

"Demons" are very evil and irritable, and like to use violence to forcibly plunder and devour the souls of humans. "Devils" also like to devour human souls, but their methods are gentler than demons, and they do not use force, but prefer to obtain human souls through contracts and transactions.

"Monsters" refer to creatures or monsters in the main plane that have lost their minds due to the rampant or polluted power of magic. The labyrinth creatures in the labyrinth are all "monsters".

With all this figured out, Green set his sights on his profession.

Monsters, labyrinths, demon kings. It's all in line.

"Demon King...... The King of Monsters? Tut! I see. Looks like I've really crossed over to an amazing big guy. ”

Once you know who you really are, the rest of the matter is simpler.

Green tucked the novel back into the shelf, then found a chronicle from the historically classified shelves and began to look it up quickly.

"In the year of the gods' abandonment, the gods abandoned the world, and only the six main gods remained, guarding the world. They are the goddess of the earth, Zetia, and the goddess of the sea...... In order to commemorate the six gods who guarded the world, the chronology was changed to the 'Six Gods Calendar'. ”

"In the 2nd year of the Six Divine Calendar, a religious revolution broke out in the Kingdom of Palomea, and the new king and most of the nobles of the kingdom swore to believe in the goddess of the earth......"

"In the 21st year of the Six Gods Calendar, a coup d'état broke out in the kingdom of Lakein, and King Lekin, who believed in the ancient gods, was placed under house arrest, and the new king declared his belief in the god of light......"

"The 71st year of the Six Divine Calendar......"

……

Green, halfway through it, suddenly stopped, returned to the cover, and took a look.

"Strange, why is there only a historical record after the 'Year of God's Forsaken', and why is there no record before the 'Year of God's Forsaken'?"

Curious, Green ran to the bookshelf to take a look. Sure enough, there was no record of the pre-"Year of God's Forsaken" on the shelves, and it seemed that someone had deliberately erased it, leaving only a very simple explanation - the rest of the gods had abandoned the world, and only the six main gods remained.

Green looked down at the book in his hand, "Okay. Since it is a civic library, it is obviously unlikely that some of the more hidden knowledge will appear. ”

After a moment's hesitation, Green put the half-flipped history book back on the shelf, patrolling between the shelves again, observing the titles on the shelves.

At this moment, a man in a black dress with the church emblem on his chest suddenly appeared next to Green: "Are you looking for any books?" ”

The man had pointed ears, but they were shorter than the elves, and Green, who had read the novels, understood that he was a half-elf.

Half-elves are not very popular in human society as well as in elven society, so most half-elves either become adventurers or live in some more religious cities - common battles and common beliefs are the best means of easing ethnic (ethnic) conflicts.

"Hello, I'm looking for information about the 'Treasure'."

Green's understanding of the Noble Phantasm is "a very powerful weapon used by a legendary powerhouse", so after being targeted by a legendary thief, Green had to start researching what the so-called "Noble Phantasm" was.

"Treasure's information?" The half-elf man looked at the bow and shield on Grimm's body and seemed to understand something, "I see. If you want to know more about the treasure, you can take a look at this one. ”

The half-elf man glanced at the bookshelf, took a book off the shelf, and placed it in Green's hand.

"The Odyssey?" Green thought for a moment, "Thank you. ”

"Mother Earth is protecting you." The half-elf man said a blessing to Green, then walked to the counter with a book and began to check it out.

Green thought for a moment, took the book, and found a table to sit down.

The Odyssey Epic tells the story and adventures of the legendary warrior Odyssey, and each enemy in it has a treasure. From a storybook point of view, the content is boring, but if you think of it as history and information......

"If you can see it, you will surely hit the bow and arrow? A birdcage where you are called by name and will be put in if you say yes? The elixir of immortality after ingestion? It's too, isn't it? ”

Green felt like he was looking at a book of mythological stories that was bigger than anyone's cowhide. Under normal circumstances, seeing a book like this, Green would definitely take the content of the book seriously, but ......

This is a magical world where even gods have!

Green turned his gaze to the library staff.

Check it out with the locals.
