Chapter 1061: Heresy Banned Books
It's just that Leo feels strange that according to the rules of the Poseidon Church, only approved high-ranking clergy are allowed to enter the forbidden library to read, but the stranger that Leo sees now who is not from the Poseidon Church does not have any of the characteristics that a Poseidon clergy should have.
And what's even more strange is that the other party doesn't have a waiter arranged by the library, and he doesn't even need to lift the ban on the bookshelf, he can directly take out a book from the bookshelf and read it.
This strangely behaved man caught Leo's attention, and Leo put down the book in his hand, beckoned to the attendant not far away, and when he came, he gestured to the man and asked, "Who is that person? Isn't it only the clergy who can read here?"
"People?" the attendant was stunned, looked at Leo in confusion to indicate the direction, and then asked with a puzzled expression, "My lord, who are you referring to?"
"Can't you see there's a man reading there?" asked Leo again.
The attendant was completely dazed, and said, "No, there's no one there." ”
Leo frowned at the squire's answer, for he could sense that the squire was not lying, and he couldn't see anyone reading a book at the table over there.
Just when Leo thought that he might have seen some kind of vision, the squire suddenly seemed to remember something, and couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and showed a look of horror, and said, "Is it him you see?"
Although the conversation between Leo and the attendant was not loud, the entire library was empty, and the special dome design allowed the sound to echo in the room for a long time, and everyone else around heard the conversation between the two.
When they heard the squire's exclamation, they all showed a panicked look on their faces, as if they all thought of the same terrifying thing at the same time, and then they didn't care whether they had finished reading the book in their hands, and they got up in a panic and walked outside, and when they walked, they deliberately avoided Leo and the table that Leo had just signaled.
Seeing this scene, Leo naturally knew that what he was seeing was probably not a good thing, so he turned his head to look at the pale squire and waited for him to explain.
"Legend has it that there is a mysterious being in the library that is not visible to the general public, but anyone who sees it will die, even the archbishop who has been blessed by our lord. The attendant quickly and indirectly explained, then looked at the table that Leo gestured to, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you really see someone over there?"
Leo didn't answer, and he didn't know how to answer, because he did see someone reading the forbidden book over there, and he could not only see the figure, but also feel the faint energy fluctuations emanating from the other party's body, and even through the spiritual network that was disturbed by the defensive power of the library, he could also understand the other party's physical condition.
The person in front of him is an ordinary human in Leo's eyes, who is too normal to be normal.
"Something is wrong!" However, Leo muttered to himself as if something had suddenly occurred to him.
What he said was wrong was not that the other people around him turned a blind eye to that person, nor was it the death legend that the attendant said, the reason why he said something wrong in his heart was because he found that the person who was noticed by her was very normal, and this kind of normality was not normal in the general sense, but really normal, normal to the point of being very abnormal.
This human body is normal to the extreme, it is an incomparably pure human body, and its purity is almost comparable to the standard human demonstration diagram in the human body structure textbook of the Earth Federation.
You must know that this standard of human beings never appears in books, never in reality.
Not to mention the humans in the Poseidon World, because of their bloodline, their bodies will more or less have some sea mutations, and the humans in the Velen World also have some recessive mutations in some organs of the internal organs of the body due to the environment and other reasons, such as the heart and lungs and other organs are larger than normal standard humans.
Even if it is the Earth Federation in the universe, because it is necessary to adapt to the living environment of the universe, the human beings of the Earth Federation will be fine-tuned at the genetic level in some organs and parts of the body before they are born, so that the born human beings can adapt to the cosmic environment.
Only in the Old Earth era, before the age of industrialization, could the ancient humans be as standard as the human schematic in the books.
But now, right in front of Leo's eyes, there was such an incomparably pure human sitting there reading a book, and this human could not be seen by the others around him.
Thinking of this, Leo motioned for the squire to stay away, and the squire received Leo's instructions and immediately ran away, and then cautiously looked towards Leo.
Leo stood up, walked over to the chair beside the human, sat down, and looked at the other without speaking, his gaze scanning the book the man was looking through.
Because of the location, Leo couldn't see the contents of the book, but he was able to see the cover of the book, which read The Song of Garin.
If he hadn't read the previous forbidden books, Leo might not have known who this Garin was, after all, Garin is a very common name in the Poseidon World, and he may eventually need to find additional information.
But now he has quickly found this Garin in the forbidden books of the Poseidon Church, because among all the heretics recorded by the Poseidon Church, there is only one Garin, and that person is King Garin, who is also the King of Heretics.
The belief in the Poseidon world is very stable, and it has basically not been shaken from top to bottom, but among the sea tribe with the most solid belief in the sea god, there has been a heretical royal family that abandoned the belief of the sea god, and this sea royal family is King Garin, who once formed a heretical kingdom, but it perished in just ten tidal days.
After the death of King Garin, a book called the Song of Garin appeared, which recorded the life of King Garin, and eventually the book was banned and destroyed.
The life of King Galein is very well documented, not as vague as other books on heresy, but there is one thing that is very strange in that there is no mention of why King Galein became a heretic, and it seems to be an unsolved mystery.
The only thing that can be known is that King Garin was a very devout Poseidon believer before he became a heretic, and he was qualified to become the chief priest of the Poseidon Temple of the Sea Clan, which was a special existence that was almost equal to the Sea King, but such a devout Poseidon believer became a heretic overnight, which is really strange.
So much so that some people believe that King Garin is not a heretic at all, indicating the loser of the power struggle within the Sea Clan.
"Do you know why King Garin became a heretic?" asked as Leo recalled the information about King Garin, a normal person in front of him who only he could see.
Leo was stunned when he heard this, his face was full of shock, he was not shocked that this ordinary person who was mysterious all over his body could speak, but because the language in which this person spoke turned out to be the Earth Federation.
"What the hell are you?" Leo quickly recovered from his shock and blurted out involuntarily in Earth Federation.
The squire not far away kept an eye on the situation, and he saw Leo look at the empty seat next to him as if he were a living person, and then speak to the empty seat in a language he had never heard before, which reminded him of the legendary dead, so he immediately turned away and ran towards the manager's office.
In the face of Leo's inquiry, the normal man did not answer, but asked repeatedly, "Do you know why King Garin became a heretic?"
Seeing this, Leo was silent for a moment, thought for a moment, and then followed the other party's inquiry, and said, "I don't know, I don't know why King Garin became a heretic, do you know?"
"I know. Leo's response was as if some kind of dialogue program had been activated, and the normal person began to tell different things, only to see him take the Song of Garin back to the bookshelf, and then wander between the shelves as if he were looking for it, and came to a bookshelf that Leo had read before, and then took a book from the shelf, returned to his seat, handed the book to Leo, and said, "That's it! ”
When the normal man handed the book to Leo, Leo naturally reached out and caught it, but in fact, Leo's heart was stopping this action, but his body seemed to be affected by some kind of force, and it was not under his control.
However, by the time he got the book, all physical abnormalities had recovered.
At this time, Leo was attracted to two things, one was that he found that the book in his hand was real, because he could feel the texture of the book cover, he could feel the weight of the book, and he could also smell the musty smell caused by the poor storage of the book for a long time, and the second thing was that he found that he had not read the book.
Just now, he had seen with his own eyes how the normal person took the book from the bookshelf he had already read, and he could even tell what books were in that area and what was recorded in the book by the position of the book, but when he saw the book in his hand, he found that he had never read the book.
This makes Leo wonder if the other party's action of finding and picking up the book is just an improvisation, and in fact the book comes from the other party's storage space, and the other party can take out the book at any time.
But soon he denied his suspicions, because the other party seemed to have no need to make such a boring disguise, and more importantly, he carefully recalled the process of the other party taking the books from the shelves, and found that the moment he took the books, the style of the bookshelf and the books on the shelves seemed to have changed a little, such as the bookshelves became a lot newer, and there were a lot fewer books.
This made Leo can't help but think of the phenomenon of superimposed space, there is no doubt that there is some kind of power in the Poseidon world that can perfectly create the phenomenon of superimposed space, and now the situation he sees is also very similar to the superimposed space, that is to say, in addition to the forbidden book library that everyone can see in front of him, there is also a library that exists in the superimposed space state, where there should be a collection of forbidden books that are more threatening to the Poseidon Church.
There are only a few questions about why the other party speaks Earth Federation, and who is this seemingly perfect human in front of him?
Leo didn't dwell too much on these issues, he lowered his head and opened the book in his hand, and was about to take a serious look at what was written in this book that made the Sea Clan royal family a heretic, but when he looked at it for the first time, the whole person was stunned, and confirmed to the normal person full of doubts: "This is the book that caused King Garin to become a heretic?"
"Yes. The normal person responded calmly.
Leo looked down at the book in his hand again, the expression on his face was very strange, because the book was so unexpected to him, he even thought that there were a lot of heretical gods and a lot of demagogic thoughts in this book, but he never thought that this book would be an introduction to cosmology textbook for fifteen years in federal public schools.
Yes, this book is the introduction to cosmology textbook that can be found everywhere in the Earth Federation, and it is the old version of the 173rd edition, Leo remembers that the year he died, the Introduction to Cosmology textbook in the public schools of the Earth Federation has been updated to the two hundred and sixteenth edition.
Although there is only a difference of dozens of versions, the time gap between the two versions is thousands of years, because the Earth Federation compiles this kind of cosmology textbook with reference to the space exploration information released by the Supreme Council, and this kind of space exploration information will not appear in the official announcement of the Supreme Council unless it is a very significant discovery, so the content of an announcement is sometimes hundreds of years apart, and the time required for the Earth Federation to revise the textbook according to the announcement is naturally longer.
Now Leo no longer has any doubts that King Garin will change from a devout Poseidon believer to a heretic king, because whether it is the Poseidon World or the Velen World, anyone who sees this Introduction to Cosmology textbook and learns the knowledge in it will definitely change their views, not only their beliefs will change, but even their cognition will be completely different.
Of course, all of this is premised on someone being able to read and learn the knowledge in this book.
Although the content in this textbook of Introduction to Cosmology is the lowest level for Leo, The most basic common sense of the universe, any ordinary person of medium civilization knows the content of it, but for a world like the Poseidon World, which is still in a state of low civilization, the people who live here may not be as good as a first-grade child who has just entered the middle civilization, and the introduction to cosmology needs to accumulate knowledge to the fifteenth grade before he can barely understand it, so according to common sense, that King Garin should not be able to understand this book after getting it several times, unless someone helps him interpret these contents.
