The internal space of the library of the Beacon Academy is very large, hundreds of square meters, the top height is about 12 or 3 meters from the ground, regardless of level, the one is like a huge column, the bookshelves are arranged in a circle along the wall, or the three or three groups are erected into a long row, standing in the open space in the center of the library, and the books are neatly inserted on the shelves according to a certain classification and order.

More than a dozen students wearing the uniform of Beacon Academy stood scattered in front of several bookshelves, bowing their heads and quietly reading the books in their hands.

Ozping didn't bother them, and lightly led Zhou Chao and the others through a quiet passageway, and finally stood in front of a bookshelf in a remote corner with a little dust deposited on the surface.

Ozpin still didn't say anything, but searched for it, and soon, a hardcover book with a grayish cover was extracted from a layer of books at the bottom of the shelf, near the ground.

"Found it. This is it. ”

As he spoke, Ozping handed the book in his hand to Zhou Chao. Zhou Chaoxin took it and looked down at the surface of the book with a somewhat stained font - O'Connell's Historical Words.

It looks like it's supposed to be a Homeric epic book in the Overworld. And the most important thing is that the font on the book cover uses the script of the Beruka civilization, not the variant script that the Zhou Dynasty has seen before, which is not a problem for the Zhou Dynasty who deliberately asked Higmu and Shamal to learn the spelling of the Beruka script when he was studying the magic of the Beluka system, so that he let go of the idea that if he couldn't understand it, he was learning the current world script.

But this also shows from the other side that the civilization of this world, if not a branch of the ancient Beruca civilization, should be a civilization related to it, which is consistent with the conjecture of the Zhou Dynasty in meeting RubyRose.

"There's a desk over there. Let's go and sit and watch. Then, Principal Ozpin said again.

"Then bother." Zhou Chao nodded, and together with everyone, he walked with Principal Ozping to a large empty desk not far away, and sat down one by one.

Then Zhou Chao didn't talk nonsense, directly opened the cover and read the contents.

However, it didn't take long, and it only took a little more than ten minutes to get Zhou Chaona's ability to remember after development, and Jarvis in the neural connection device. He finished the entire tome with a thickness of more than three centimeters, and then handed it to Higmu next to him, and he closed his eyes and silently sorted out the information he had read from the book in his mind.

According to the book, the world they are now in is a tree called Tree. The development of civilization from the beginning to the present can be roughly divided into three stages, namely before the disaster, after the disaster, and the new civilization.

Very little has been documented about aspects of the new civilization. In other words, because of the age constraints of the authors and editors of the book, only the dust crystal, that is, part of the period of rapid development of civilization caused by the discovery of the main force energy and living energy of the current civilization, is recorded, and there is no record of other changes derived from it.

The most information recorded in the disaster is probably related to the fact that the author is a 'survivor'. It is a detailed account of the changes that took place in the world and the far-reaching effects that resulted from the disaster, as well as the state of humanity in the midst of the disaster.

Famine, death, and pestilence were the norm at that time, and despair was the prevailing emotion in the hearts of the people at that time.

As for before the disaster. The method described in the book is completely like writing a legend, and it is impossible to imagine exactly what the world was like at that time.

But despite this, the Zhou Dynasty is extremely unfamiliar to humans in the current world from the words and occasionally appearing in the book. The source of the civilization of this world was deduced from the vocabulary that was quite familiar to him.

Just as he guessed when he saw the Beruka text on the cover when he got the book, the current world's civilization is indeed related to the Beruka civilization, and it can even be said that it was directly established by the ancient Beruka people.

Although they themselves do not know......

Because according to the words of the author of the book, they were originally civilians of the ancient Beruka Empire, because of the internal war in the empire, they had to leave the central area with their families and move to the border area, but they didn't think about it, and before they could completely leave the central area, they ushered in a catastrophe.

The strong dimensional shock shattered the space, causing chaos in the space, the earth was polluted by heavy magic, becoming barren and cracked, no longer suitable for the survival of vegetation, the magic pollution drifted with the wind, blowing around, a large number of Pingming without magical qualifications were eroded, suffering from the incurable 'demon devouring disease', and death did not come to many civilians all the time.

At the same time, due to the impact of this catastrophe that I don't know whether it was man-made or how, famine began to appear, the plague began to run rampant, death began to take the lives of ordinary people further, and the population of the whole country was plummeted.

O'Connor, the author of this book, was one of those people, or was forced to become one of them, because he was a child at the time, and he was forced by his parents to complete this final migration, fleeing to this strange world, which was affected by the disaster at the time, but at least there was a place for people to live.

Of course, none of these circumstances are of much significance to the current Zhou Dynasty, except for increasing his knowledge, they are of no practical use, but O'Connor's movement route revealed between the lines is still somewhat useful to the Zhou Dynasty.

At least through this route, the Zhou Dynasty, Prescia, and Higm could reverse deduce the location of the dimensional center of the ancient Beluka World Time, and then use the memory of the ancient Beluka period in the minds of Higem and others to deduce the coordinates of Midchilda, or the road to there.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chao reopened his eyes and looked at Principal Ozping, who was quietly accompanying him on the other side.

"Principal Ozpin, I wonder if I can read the other books in the library?" Zhou Chao asked.

"Of course." Ozpin smiled.

"Thank you." Zhou Chao nodded in thanks, stood up, and walked back to the remote bookshelf where he had found the books before, his eyes turned, searching for each book with Beluka characters on the cover and spine, extracting them and reading them quickly.

It's just that people are very helpless that there are not many such books, and after finding hundreds of books on the entire shelf, Zhou Chao only found three more from them, and the content in them is all boring biographical story novels, and there is no information about the dimensional world that Zhou Chao wants.

"Didn't find the right book?" At this moment, Principal Ozpin, who had come to the bookshelf at some point, asked.

"I wonder if Principal Ozpin knows where there are books written in this script?" Zhou Chao nodded, shaking the book written in Beruka script in his hand and asked rhetorically.

"Books written in ancient scripts? It's not easy to find. After the chaos more than a hundred years ago, these books written in ancient scripts were largely destroyed, and only a small part remained in the major libraries of the four academies and some well-known collectors. It seems that I can't help Mr. Zhou Chao, sorry. Principal Ozping shook his head slightly, and said with regret on his face.

"Don't say that, Principal Ozpin, I should have embarrassed you." Zhou Chao waved his hand.

Then the two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then returned to the desks where they were, and sat down separately, waiting for Higm and Prescia to finish their reading.

……

More than two hours later, Zhou Chao and the others, who had finished reading the books, gathered in a collective dormitory that Principal Ozping lent them to live in temporarily.

"Well, can the information in the book be used?" Zhou Chao looked at Higmu and asked.

Among the several people present, Higmu, who has memories of the ancient Beluka period, has the most right to speak.

"I can use some, but not much." Higm glanced around at everyone and whispered, "The only thing that is certain at the moment is that our current location should be in the southeast of the dimensional sea, far from the center of the dimensional sea, in a managed world that should not be recorded by the Authority. ”

Zhou Chao and the others nodded one after another when they heard this, indicating that they understood, and then asked, "What about the others?" Is there a way to find a route to Midchilda? ”

"I think I can give it a try." Higmu thought for a moment and said, "According to the records in that book, the closest thing to here is a dimensional world called Farim, although the state of that world in the description is not very good, but since even this place can be reborn into a new civilization, we can't go there, as long as we can find more information there, it shouldn't take long for us to re-enter the management world of the Authority." ”

As for how to act after entering the managed world, it's casual, whether it's smuggling or walking in broad daylight, it's no problem, anyway, as long as it's in the managed world, you don't have to worry about running off track.

The existence of dimensional transportation lines is not an ornament.

"Do you have the coordinates to get to Falim?" At this time, Prescia asked.

"Nope." Shigmu shook his head, and then added, "But since the direction and distance can be determined, then with the coordinates of the current dimensional world, at most it can be guessed with a few attempts." (To be continued......)
