Chapter 110: Heretical Girl
Liu Ci found an old acquaintance among several knights.
To be described as an old acquaintance, something is somewhat wrong, to be precise, her godsister's ex-fiancé, the heir to the marquis, and the son of the lord of the Rhine: Clyde Striff.
Liu Ci remembered that he also had an identity, a member of the Knights of Light in the Diocese of Selmon.
The Knights of Light in the Grand Diocese are generally not allowed to leave their diocese without official duties. And what did Claude come to the diocese of Emst, and for what? Liu Ci couldn't help but think of the Soul Eater incident that was resolved more than two months ago, and the outstanding graduate of the Amster School of Magic and Wizardry, Mr. Edward Wren, who was different in appearance, was now serving as the Archbishop of the Holy See in the Diocese of Selmont.
Could it have something to do with the bishop? Since cultivating Zhen, Liu Ci has trusted her instincts very much, and in the three years of training in the Morok Mountains, she has escaped countless life and death crises by relying on her intuition.
If she is now a high-ranking Mr. Edward, and there is a black history that may be known, she will also be anxious. How can the pure white and holy Holy See be stained with a little blackness, Mr. Edward experiments in the underground cave with the evil dark magic that everyone on the mainland spurns...... Jenny's plan to flood the underground cavern was right.
But speaking of which, Rachel and her ex-fiancé Claude really have no fate in Liu Ci's view, and have missed twice in Rhine City and Amster City.
Wait, Rachel, who went to the diocese of the Holy Land Harbor alone, is also going to enter the Holy See in the future, so she is the same organization as Claude?
This realization made Liu Ci not very pleasant, thinking of the old man who appeared in the valley and disappeared inexplicably, and Claude Stlev who came to Emst, the joy brought by out-of-season vegetables disappeared, and Liu Ci rarely had insomnia at night.
Liu Ci had no plans to reunite with the old man, she and the Marquis of Stlev, no matter who provoked first, she could not have fought with the Marquis of Stlev because of Rachel and the assassination, who probably hated her equally after she burned the vineyard.
The interest in shopping was gone, and after getting up early, Liu Ci directly asked the driver to drive to the largest bookstore in Amster City.
Books written by human beings are not cheap in any time and space. In the Wizarding Continent, where there is no printing press, literacy is limited to nobles or those who aspire to serve the nobility, such as James the butler and Nana, the maid, who are already the "elite" among the commoners. The customers of the bookstore are all in a circle, so it does not need to be opened in a bustling and lively street, a small building in an alley, but it is more liked by customers with status.
The four-wheeled carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley, and Nana followed Liu Ci with a money bag.
It may be early, the bookstore is very quiet, and there are only three of Liu Ci's master and servant.
The clerks were still yawning, and there was a girl standing in front of the bookshelf, but she came earlier than Liu Ci's master and servant. She looks sixteen or seventeen years old, about one meter seven tall, slightly shorter than Liu Ci, and she doesn't look like she has no money in the materials she wears, but her long maroon hair is only tied in a ponytail, and she doesn't care about dressing up at all.
Liu Ci's gaze stayed for a long time, and the girl felt that someone was paying attention, so she raised her head.
She has a pair of lake-green eyes, and her facial features are not outstanding, which is commonly known as "middle and small freshness", because the other party is wearing pants, Liu Ci also noticed her slender legs and ...... that are extremely comparable to models It is estimated that there is only a chest of A cup. If she is in the Earth Federation, her figure will definitely be sought after by some people in the fashion industry, in the Magic Continent, to be honest, Liu Ci can see such a flat sister paper.
It's rude to look at someone for too long, but the other person doesn't get angry.
She looked up at Liu Ci, still holding the book in her hand, and then wandered under Liu Ci's gaze...... Liu Ci was extremely speechless, and turned his head to pick out the books on the shelves.
There are basic magic books in the bookstore, but without a teacher's teaching, children with magical power in their bodies will only waste their talents if they practice indiscriminately, so even if the tuition fee is expensive, the magic academy will never have to worry about the source of students. The people who buy magic books in bookstores are magic students who read a wide range of books and have spare money and spare time, or ordinary children who hope to be self-taught.
There are also books on Dou Qigong, which are either big or incomplete editions.
Of course, people like to visit bookstores not only for the above two points, scholars are quite high-status existence among ordinary people, to become a scholar, no one can be born with mathematical knowledge, and the accumulation of wisdom from generation to generation has become the knowledge left in books.
In addition to booksellers, bookstores also have collections from the declining aristocracy, and even the most discerning people can sometimes find amazing unique books in a room full of books.
Liu Ci is interested in the customs of the mainland, but it is a pity that books about this kind are extremely unappreciated in the magic continent where strength is respected. To find useful books in the bard's flashy writing and a pile of nonsense is a test of Liu Ci's vision and luck.
After asking the clerk, the yawning young man suddenly came to his senses:
"Miss, you are really lucky, a set of tomes came two days ago, which fully meets your requirements."
The clerk was talking about a set of "Amster's Prayers" that the bookstore had acquired from someone else, with a very disgraced name, but the content was similar to the chronicle that Liu Ci knew, telling the history of the changes in the diocese of Amster 1,000 to 200 years ago...... The author is a priest of light who served in the diocese of Amster, a chronicle that is not only secretive in content, but also in terms of title.
The price of this set of books is more expensive than the annual salary of fifty hired men in the valley.
380 gold coins, if it weren't for the popularity of out-of-season vegetables, Liu Ci would frown when he heard the price. Gold coins are earned, just to spend, Liu Ci is not a miser, what is interested in her, more than three hundred gold coins can't scare her off.
When the clerk heard that Liu Ci wanted to buy it, he rushed to remove a set of books from the shelves.
A full set of twelve books, the clerk only found eleven, and after a closer look, it turned out that one of the books was in the hands of the girl with the model's figure.
The clerk stepped forward to ask, and the long-legged girl raised her head and stared at Liu Ci with a strange expression: "You want to buy this set of books?" ”
Liu Ci nodded.
A very complicated expression appeared on the girl's face, disgusted, disdainful, and looked very distressed.
"Don't buy it, the content is all nonsense!"
Her tone was very sincere, and she was very contemptuous of the contents of the book, which made the clerk who was about to sell the book black on the spot.
The model girl is dressed simply, neither a magician, nor is she covered with jewelry, and the clerk has long been dissatisfied with her behavior of rubbing books in the bookstore in the morning, and now she has to block the business of the store, and the clerk is about to be angry.
Pingshui met, but the other party was straightforward, Liu Ci stopped the clerk who wanted to find trouble, walked in and asked the girl, "Where is it made up?" If you don't point it out, even if the author of the book is dead, the bookstore that bought the book will also settle accounts with you. ”
The girl spread out the books in her hand, pointed to one of them, and said, "He said that west of Emst, the vast sea beyond the highest mountain in the continent will make people lost, and there is a blue abyss where the god of light cannot show the way...... More than a thousand years ago, someone set out from the seashore west of Amster, and after a two-year voyage, returned to the same place. Although the three empires and the Moloch Mountains are vast, they cannot be regarded as the only continents...... The land under our feet takes the form of a sphere, so that the big ship of navigation can circle and return to its original place......"
In the early morning of winter, the sun of Emster is shining, but it is not warm on people. The girl spoke confidently in a cheerful voice, looking thinner and thinner in the cold white morning light.
Hearing the girl's nonsense, questioning the writings of the priests of the Holy See, the clerk's face was full of horror.
The rebellious remarks made several students who wanted to step into the academy stunned, and they didn't know whether to take back half of their feet or continue to walk into the store.
Liu Ci was surprised inexplicably, what did she hear?
In this continent of magic and vindictiveness, the tall and thin girl in front of the model said bluntly that the planet is round...... The ancient Chinese people have always insisted that "the sky is round and the earth is round", and before the new era, some scientists had proposed that the earth was spherical, and there were humans living in the other hemisphere, so they were burned alive.
Liu Ci never doubted that the Magic Continent was a circular planet.
The dust in the universe shrinks and gathers to form planets, which are irregular clusters, assuming that to maintain other shapes, dust and nebulae must be unevenly stressed, but in fact the forces are concentrated towards the center, so the formed planets cannot be pie-shaped, square or even triangular.
Due to phenomena such as rotation, irregular clumps of dust will gradually turn into regular globular planets.
Liu Ci knew that it was because she was from the Earth Federation of the Great Universe Era, so how could the girl in front of her be sure?
Traveling by sea? Was it more than 1,000 years ago?
She also dared to say this kind of heretical remarks in public, which was even more off-line than her own deeply hidden "heresy".
The clerk's face turned blue with anger, and he pointed at the girl and said excitedly: "You said we were standing on a round ball?" Joke, then how did we not fall into the sky? ”
The girl wanted to say something, and probably realized that the place was wrong, so she finally "hummed" and shut up.
Liu Ci silently added in his heart: Because of the gravitational pull of the planet.
The girl's book raised the "Amster's Prayer" in her hand, "Anyway, what I'm going to say, believe it or not, you can buy it." Although she despised the content of the book, the girl loved the book itself very much, and handed the book to Liu Ci herself, and the girl walked out of the bookstore quickly before the clerk came back to her senses.
Liu Ci followed, "Hey, what's your name?" Where can I find you? ”
The girl turned around, and her lake-green eyes looked bright and agile in the sun.
"Chrissy...... You can't find me, and when I want to appear, I'll show up. ”
The girl spoke strangely, waved her hand at Liu Ci, and disappeared at the entrance of the alley. Before Liu Ci could catch up, two more male and female students wearing mage robes came to the entrance of the alley.
The shy George Hera had a relationship in the underground cave of the Academy of Magic, and the frying pan was naturally in his hand.
How did two people who don't match each other come together?
Seeing Liu Ci, George was very happy, but Wei Yi reacted half a beat slower, and he was also very happy - Liu Ci guessed that she was happy because she remembered the deliciousness of rabbit meat.
"Miss Ci, why are you here?"
