Chapter 90: Mensaro Underground Library (2)

Three keys put together, exactly the same.

Duck was embarrassed.

In the history of the Alab, Farouq was a very special caliph (monarch).

Those who praise him refer to his reign as the golden age of the Arab: enlightened rule, the rich and leisurely life of the nobility and the Burkas, the tolerant religious policy, the strong academic atmosphere, the harmonious relationship between the center and the locality, and, of course, most importantly, the fragments of the Commentary on the Commentary on the Passage of Ba during his lifetime!

But there are many people who oppose him, and many people always don't forget to scold him when they admit his merits.

He was the turning point of the empire from prosperity to decline.

He only knew that he had squandered the political capital left over by the previous caliphs, indulged in alchemy, and ignored the government; he connived at the local princes to do whatever they wanted, and the central authority plummeted; he was extravagant and extravagant, and he exalted alchemists to the sky, and spent huge sums of money to build many libraries and alchemy workshops, but he was unwilling to allocate a bag of flour and build a bridge for the poor people; and the so-called collection of fragments of the "Commentary on the Book of Heaven" was just the most clumsy and low-level scam used to force the people to donate!

Even, this faint monarch died in the alchemy workshop!

He was the last ray of light before the sunset of the Empire. The sun is backward, and the only ones who can witness that era are these libraries scattered all over the place.

During his lifetime, most of these libraries were open, and some of them were of higher rank, only open to dignitaries. They will be given a key to open the door. Faruger gave them out for free. However, the dignitaries did not appreciate it, and when they knew that there were only books in the library, and there were no beauties, coffee, and gold, they secretly sneered and threw these keys into an inconspicuous corner.

Over time, the library was left unattended and dilapidated, some of the beams were torn down and set on fire, some became slums and bandits' playgrounds, and some became xeno's nests. The keys also lost their proper function, and became worthless little antiques that could be exchanged for a few cakes.

"We Julia people worship knowledge, and the keys to these libraries, whatever we can collect, are always well kept. Even if the library is completely destroyed, there is always a nostalgia for the lost knowledge. I happen to have a handful, which is a reward from the Presbyterian Church. ”

Altaïr said, "We have quite a few of Assasin, who gave me a hand when they sent me on a mission. ”

Riley said, "We helped Dorihachi City to quell the feud between the Razani and the Shiriyates, and the lord of the city thanked us for giving us a hand. ”

Duck took the key and opened the door to the library.

In front of you is a large and bright rotunda with a fountain in the middle of the hall, and the water flows from the canal that pierces the wall to the door towards the artificial river.

Twelve doors are arranged in a circular pattern. The black and white marble floor looks like a flat chessboard. There are stairs leading down to the left and right of the hall.

The four of them carefully searched the hall, and there was nothing unusual.

Inside the twelve doors is the borrowing area, filled with seats and bookshelves. The bookshelves stood quietly like neat fish scales, looking at the four strange visitors.

It was the first time the four of them had seen so many books. Ralbin couldn't help but say, "It's hard to imagine that Faruger is so knowledge-minded. What is even more unimaginable is why it is so revered for knowledge, but repeatedly makes mistakes for the country?"

Altaïr laughed, "Maybe if you read too many books, you will see beauty and gold." ”

Riley was very dissatisfied with his oily tone: "For alchemy, nothing is impossible!"

Duck said: "It's weird, no one has cleaned it for hundreds of years, and the floor and chairs don't even fall a little dust?"

Riley raised her hand and pointed, "Look at that!"

A little walnut-sized creature covered in gray fluff swayed from a distance, flew harmlessly over the heads of the four, and flew towards the doorway, and behind it were twenty or thirty of these little fur balls.

The farther they flew, the longer the fluff, the heavier their bodies, and finally, they fell into the canal of the hall, and the faint electric light flickered and disappeared.

"Weak electricity can absorb dust, and a small, simple structure with weak electricity can become the perfect cleaner when the flight direction and route are set. ”

Listening to Riley's words, Ralbin and Altaïr raised an eyebrow. Ralbin said: "It seems that Farouge has definitely spent more time on alchemy than he has on being a caliph. ”

Duck didn't take this stubble, frowned and said, "It's not easy to play this hand." These structures can no longer be used when they fall into the water, indicating that there is alchemy equipment below that can mass-produce them; they can still operate normally after hundreds of years, which shows that Faruger is superior in the storage and application of magic energy; and can be made into the size of a walnut, which shows that he has the ability to process them with high precision. ”

"Yes," Riley added, "you see, whether it's a big guy five meters tall or a little one the size of a walnut, he's very handy, and such a person, not to mention hundreds of years ago, even today, is quite a difficult opponent!

Altaïr disagreed: "Isn't it just a bunch of flying furballs, what's so scary?" he patted a table: "Lift a table, how many can fly in one board, twenty?"

"Let's go," Duck said, "don't mess with them, let's go to the next level." After taking a few steps, he turned back to Altaïr and said, "It's easy to shoot them off, but what happens to the dust they absorb? What if they all rush over and blow themselves up?" ”

Altaïr rubbed his hands together in embarrassment, and said hehe, "Aren't we, do we have that, the anti-poison ghost fire mask?"

Duck didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and led the team straight down to the second floor.

The second floor is the VIP area, which is divided into countless rooms in addition to the summer vacation of Rulin, which is beautifully decorated. A number of square structures with long metal arms glide along the rails of the ceiling, looking like a square box with two arms, as if used to retrieve books. Ralbin casually reported the title of the book, and the structure was quickly removed, and in less than two minutes, it moved back, took out the book that Ralbin wanted from the box, and handed it over respectfully.

The four of them were amazed, and Ralbin took the book into his arms and wanted to leave, but the constructor lowered his arms to block it, and did not let him go out. Ralbin put the book back in the box, and the construct gave way.

The third floor is the library area, where rows of bookshelves stand silently like a dense forest. The four of them walked slowly forward listening to the sound of their feet in the book.

There are more structures roaming overhead, and these are slightly different, with stubby arms and some of the magic energy fluctuating significantly.

"Further down is the fourth and last floor, where the power core and control room of the entire library are located, where Faroug is said to have died. We have to be 120,000 careful!

With no one answering him, he jerks back to find Riley, Ralbin, and Altaïr all gone!
