The grandest building in the Temple of the Gods is not the Hall of the Gods, nor is it the city hub that represents the collection of divinities, and at the same time condenses the sacred names of all the true gods, the Temple of the Gods with the same name as the city. The truly grandest building is the Great Library, located in the center of the city, formed by the gods of knowledge and wisdom joining forces to materialize their powers.

Legend has it that this 50-meter-high and 200-meter-diameter library, with its collection of 103,000 sets of purely academic books, is a symbol of knowledge in Parvatija and a sacred place in the hearts of all scholars, no matter which god they believe in, as long as they have the status of scholars, there are no exceptions. Every year, scholars risk their lives across the perilous wilderness to the Pantheon with a pilgrimage to visit the Great Library.

Almost any scholarly book that has ever been published can be found here, and every year believers of the God of Knowledge go around searching for the latest books to store in the Great Library, so that the knowledge here will never go out of style.

It is said that when the Great Library was first built, it was only a gift from the God of Knowledge to all the gods and ministers, so it was only for the priesthood, but it was finally opened to the public under the bitter pleas of scholars from almost all over the world, but each scholar had only five days a year to enter the Great Library to transcribe books, and as for the borrowing of books, it was the right of the priesthood.

To enter the Great Library, one first passes through a low arch with a book inscribed on the top, which is known as the Gate of Awe. Most of the races have to bow their heads or even bend down if they want to pass, but no one has any opinion, because the books on the arch represent the inheritance of knowledge and wisdom, and every time they enter and exit, they bend down and bow their heads, symbolizing the awe of knowledge and wisdom, which is what fanatical scholars are willing to do.

In front of the library, there are two statues on the left and on the right. On the left is a huge book with one eye on the cover, which is said to be the essence of the god of knowledge, who can see through the truth of the world with one eye, and can record all the knowledge in the world. On the right is a giant brain floating in the air with three eyes engraved on the front, which is of course a symbol of the god of wisdom, the three eyes can see the past, present and future, and the brain embodies all the wisdom of the world.

Bow to the two idols, and the doors of the Great Library will automatically open, allowing those who meet the criteria to enter easily, but those who do not meet the requirements, even those as strong as demigods, will be stopped outside. Everything is run spontaneously by divine powers, and no one can change unless two powerful gods come down in person.

With Lisa and Moria, Shul was very skilled all the way, in the first two years of his arrival in Pavatiga, he was almost immersed in books and knowledge, and he would come and go here every day, and he was already familiar with this place as the Darkmoon Temple, so naturally he would not be as confused as the few first-time scholars at the door.

As soon as the door opened, there was a strange smell of paper and ink mixed together. To the common man, the smell of this mass of printed matter gathered together is pungent, but for scholars, to paraphrase the exclamation of the first non-clerical scholar who had the privilege of visiting here, this is the fragrance of knowledge, and to smell it is the highest enjoyment of the mortal world.

What does a library conjure up with rows of shelves, stacks of books, seekers of knowledge reading at their desks, the rustle of paper flipping. In the Great Library, however, there is no such sight at all.

As soon as you enter, you are greeted by a rather strange hall, empty of the caretaker, furniture, books, nothing, only a few other visitors, proving that you are not alone.

At this time, the visitor should not be in a hurry, just walk around the hall at will, or find a corner to wait quietly, only need to wait for a few minutes, and then feel a flower in front of him, and when he sees things clearly, he is already in another space. It was no longer an empty hall, but a closed room without doors or windows, and a reception table was placed in the middle of the room, behind which the clergy dressed in the sacrificial robes of the god of knowledge sat and flipped through the books spread out on the table.

But this time, the situation was slightly different, and before the sight of the three of them could be restored, a crisp voice came from their ears: "Why are you perverted again?"

"Well, I don't think it's a good habit for a lady to have the word pervert on her lips. Without waiting to see everything in front of him, Shur had already sighed, touched his nose and said distressedly, "The believers of the Lord of Knowledge are calm and calm, and the believers of the Lord of Wisdom are elegant and steady, Miss Isabella, which do you think your performance matches the?"

"That's just for you. The vision finally recovered, and I could see a twenty-four-five-year-old woman sitting behind the reception table, a thin lady with glasses was glaring at Shuer with very dissatisfied eyes, and said with a fierce attitude, "What do you want to do here?"

"Ahem, I'm just going to return the book. Shuer raised the stack of books he was holding in his hand, "When is it even perverted to return the book?"

"Just to return the book?" the woman known as Isabella looked at Shul suspiciously, then looked at Lisa and Moria, and said vigilantly, "Then take it." ”

Taking over a dozen thick books, Isabella only glanced at the cover of each one, casually placed them on the table, and the next moment, a dozen books disappeared from the table without warning, as if they had never appeared.

"It's worthy of the illusory space formed by divine power, it's so convenient. There was no longer the surprise he had when he first met, and Shul knew that the books had returned to the shelves where they should be, which was a special ability of the staff of the Great Library, and it could only be effective in the Great Library.

"What more books do you want to borrow?" the woman said with a cold face and a businesslike expression, "If you don't borrow it, please return it." ”

"Books about the Great Rift. "I don't want history, I've seen most of them before, and what I need is academic research, and it's theoretical research, which I have ignored before." ”

"Academic research on the Great Rift?" seemed to be a little interested in Shuer's request, Isabella thought about it seriously and frowned, "Isn't it possible to study phenomena?"

"Sorry, no, I have to study theorizing. ”

"It's hard to find books on this subject, after all, there are not many scholars who study the Great Rift Theory in the first place, and there are even fewer achievements. Very few people want to find this kind of book, what are you looking for it?"

"Read. ”

Glaring fiercely at Shuer, who was answering nonsense, Isabella stood up and waved her hand, and the environment changed abruptly again, and the four of them were already standing in a huge room with soft lighting, more than a dozen long bookshelves arranged in five rows, and there was almost no end in sight at a glance.

"There should be a few of them you want. Pausing in front of a bookshelf, Isabella said uncertainly, "Take a look first." ”

"Overview of the formation of negative life, engulfed matter, void space - inference of the spatial environment within the rift. Walking casually under the shelves, Shul pointed to three books, "I need them." ”

Isabella spread out her palms in front of the three of them, a faint light flickering, and three books had appeared in her hands.

"But there should be others, this little is not enough for me to watch in two days. ”

"So you're a pervert, how can anyone read like you do. Isabella was quite upset about Shure's reading speed and amazing memory. At first, she even thought that Shuer was here to make trouble, until she confirmed that Shuer had not only read all the borrowed books, but also memorized them all, that she dispelled this idea, but since then, Xiuer has been promoted to one of the perverts in her heart.

"Oh, it can't be helped, talent can't be forced, Lady Isabella. Shuer smiled and said, "The limit for priests is fifteen books at a time, and I don't ask for a full loan, but there must be enough for me to read." After all, this is related to the life and death of many people, and I am also entrusted by others to investigate, otherwise I would not have looked at such an unpopular thing. ”

"Because the rift in the Rose Capital erupted some time ago?" Isabella became serious, for most priests, life is still worth valuing, not to mention that she grew up in the kingdom of Cora and has a deep affection for the kingdom.

"It's related, but not all. Shuer smiled mysteriously, shook his head, and said, "The specific content is confidential, and it is inconvenient to disclose." ”

"I see. It was another fierce white eye, and Isabella snorted heavily, "This time I'm cheap for you, so that you can achieve your goal so easily, hum, you wait." ”

"Brother, brother. While Isabella walked aside, Lisa whispered in Shure's ear, "Who is this person, she knows you very well?"

"There aren't many believers in the Temple of Knowledge who are qualified to work in the Great Library who are familiar to me. "This is not to boast, a special reader like Shul has heard his name not only in the Great Library, but almost the entire Temple of Knowledge.

"Then why did you provoke her? Why did she treat you so badly? Hey, stupid Moria, don't laugh, what's so funny. ”

Like a kitten guarding food, the girl's vigilance is so easy to guess that it is no wonder that Moria's snickering on the side is particularly happy.

"Yo Yo, don't talk to a deer, the deer doesn't understand the lingua franca, and you don't know what jealousy is, Yo Yo. ”

"Because she thinks she's a protector. Shul didn't want to embarrass her by exposing Lisa's thoughts, and replied with a smile, "All she wants most is to get rid of me, lest I bully the people she wants to protect." ”

"Oh, huh?" the girl suddenly became vigilant in her heart, and it was too bad that she had forgotten the other powerful enemy who was really entrenched in the library.

Sure enough, the second hateful voice immediately sounded in my ears.

"Isabella, you, are you looking for me, what...... Ah, Shure, why are you here? ”
