Chapter 256: Engraved on the Sansheng Stone
The exterior of the Zex Imperial Capital Library looks like a quaint church.
Walking into the door of the library, a circular pool that almost filled the hall on the first floor greeted Su Ze's eyes. The water surface is dotted with a number of slightly curly lotus leaves, and there are many brightly colored small fish in the pool, which should have been such an intoxicating picture, but unfortunately there is an iron fence around the pool, and there is a sign on the two fences facing the door: Unauthorized feeder will be fined 1 gold coin.
"There's a fine for feeding the fish? A fine for a gold coin? This library is dark enough. Although he only lived in Mammoth City for two days, through these two days of eating, drinking, and having fun, Su Ze also deeply realized that a gold coin is by no means a small number for ordinary people in the imperial capital.
"Shhhh——!h When the man was far away, she dragged Su Ze and said, "The Imperial Capital Library was established by the royal family, and all the costs of operation, maintenance, and manpower are unilaterally borne by them, and the library is open to the public for free, what is a gold coin?"
Su Ze said casually: "If you want to make money, you just need to collect tickets, how can there be such a way to earn money?"
"Look, don't you understand?" Li Shasha led Su Ze up from the revolving corridor to the second floor, "In Mammoth City, it is estimated that less than half of the people are literate, and among these literate people, there are even fewer people who have the leisure time to study here. Those aristocrats and wealthy businessmen usually like to come to this kind of place to pretend to be knowledgeable, and when they are tired, they like to watch the fish on the second floor, and when their hands are itchy, they like to throw things into the pool, even if they are fined a gold coin, some people still lose it. Since they like to donate money to the library in this way, why wouldn't you be happy about it?"
As soon as he heard that the library was dedicated to aristocrats and wealthy people, Su Ze nodded comfortably. He still hadn't figured out that he was no longer the down-and-out boy in the small fishing village leaning against the rotten doorframe and watching his peers laugh and play, but a wealthy nobleman in the Zex Empire, favored by the king and feared by all officials.
On the second floor of the library, there is an unpainted wall, and you can see a large area of neatly arranged blue bricks.
Before entering the library, Qiuqiu was repeatedly told by Li Shasha to be quiet, so it leaned into Su Ze's ear and whispered like a spy: "Su Ze, there are words on the wall!"
Before Qiuqiu's words fell, Li Shasha dragged Su Ze towards the brick wall without looking back. It wasn't until Su Ze could clearly see the "Wang Tiezhu 'Love' Tian Erniu" engraved on the blue brick directly opposite that she blushed and whispered: "This is the holy land of the imperial capital, as long as the conditions permit, couples from all over the country will come here to engrave their names, I heard that if they are engraved, they will definitely get married, but it has ...... worked."
Su Ze asked amusedly: "Is the Warcraft Illustrated Book fake, but the lettering is real?"
Li Shasha didn't dare to look at Su Ze's eyes, lowered her head, and muttered in a low voice: "If you don't want to, people won't force you to ......"
Looking at Li Shasha's twisted little appearance, Su Ze was completely defeated by her innocence, and immediately turned around and found a blank green brick, took out a dagger and carved his name on it. Not to mention, he is worthy of a man who has been playing with knives for three years, his "Su Ze" is much better looking than the "Wang Tiezhu" next to him!
Seeing that Su Ze signed his name on the "Love Wall" without saying a word, Li Shasha felt his sincerity again, and then stepped forward quickly, grabbed his wrist, and whispered: "My name has to be engraved by myself, otherwise it won't work." ”
Su Ze naturally agreed to this request, but Qiuqiu jumped on Li Shasha's shoulder when she was carving, and sneered wickedly: "Shark, your name is delicious!"
After Li Shasha carved the crooked name, Su Ze asked, "Do you still want to carve a heart in the middle of the name?"
Li Shasha looked at the blank space between the two names, hesitated for a while, and then shook her head gently, and then returned the dagger to Su Ze, and said with a light smile: "In case you find Xiaomeng, don't want me, what if others laugh at me with this brick, Miss Ben doesn't want to lose face? ”
Qiuqiu jumped back on Su Ze's shoulder, and said with a wicked smile: "Su Ze, people like sharks, you kneel quickly!"
"Didn't it make you quiet, why is it still noisy?" Su Ze turned his head and glared at Qiuqiu, and then without saying a word, he carved the left half of the love between the names of the two, and then said calmly: "I said that I would marry you, so I will definitely marry you." Since you are so worried, then the other half of the love will be kept for you, and when I kneel on the ground and beg you to marry me, you will come and make up for it yourself, okay?"
"Hehe...... Li Shasha's tears were about to fall, and she smiled and gave Su Ze a pink punch, and then said embarrassedly: "Stinky Su Ze, you are more and more able to please girls." ”
After doing the "things of men and women", Su Ze and Li Shasha finally started to get down to business. The latter looked at the sign hanging on the ceiling and muttered to himself: "History...... Cultural ...... Mathematics ...... Ah, and further along, it's creatures!"
To be honest, Su Ze wanted to delve into the history of mathematics of the Zex Empire more than the "Warcraft Illustrated Book". He was really curious, in an era when the "ninety-nine multiplication table" was listed as a top mathematical problem, what else could make them write so many books and fill so many bookshelves? Could it be the problem of the century that "two inlet pipes can fill the pool in three hours, three outlet pipes can empty the pool in two hours, and when one inlet pipe and two outlet pipes are opened at the same time, how long does it take for the pool to be emptied?"
"What are you doing? "The Warcraft Illustrated Book is in front!" Seeing Su Ze stunned next to the mathematics bookshelf, Li Shasha hurriedly dragged him away, "Don't look at those useless things, don't you know that you don't have anything to eat to learn mathematics?"
The method of arranging books in the Imperial Capital Library has not changed for many years. Walking near the bookshelf of biology, Li Shasha seemed to be able to find the "Magic Illustrated Book" by smelling it, but just over a corner, she almost bumped into someone!
"Be careful. At the critical moment, Su Ze dragged Li Shasha into his arms, but the person opposite was frightened and threw out the three books in his hand, so he didn't care about comforting Li Shasha, so he helped pick up the books on the ground, read the title and asked: "The Use and Classification of the Magic Array", "The Conservation of Energy of Magical Elements", "The Illustrated Guide to Warcraft." Dude, in the age when magic was lost, would you still be interested in reading this kind of book?"
Since Su Ze is called a brother, then standing opposite is naturally a young man of the same age. Facing Su Ze's empty eyes, he should be the second person after "Li Shark" who did not show the slightest fear.
Hearing Su Ze's question, the young man not only was not disgusted, but asked excitedly: "This brother, have you heard of the black magic of Black Cherry?"
