Chapter 305: The Book That Can't Be Taken Out
"How can you be sure?" asked Ollie nervously.
Lukka patted her on the shoulder: "Relax, I'm just speculating according to common sense, I'm not sure." ”
"How relaxing is this?" Thea jumped up from her chair as well.
"You think," said Luca, "he just said, 'There's no food here,' so wouldn't the students and servants have to eat?
He turned to Mores, "You just said that the island has abundant food and fresh water reserves, and they are all stored in the town's warehouse, right?"
"yes, it's mostly in the cellar under the Port Authority. Mores replied.
"That's right," Lukka nodded, "if the people here go there every day, the food they bring will probably not be able to keep up with the cost of climbing the mountain, right? ”
Sparse applause rang out, his crew had always been accustomed to ridicule and ridicule, and the fact that he would support his captain so much today must have impressed them in this battle against the god stick, which made Lukka a little more proud of himself.
"Captain Lester is very insightful. The applause stopped, and Curator Werner said in an old voice behind him.
Lukka turned in place, his face slightly reddened. His crew was no stranger to him dancing like this, but in front of outsiders, he still had to maintain the image of a pirate lord most of the time.
"As soon as I heard Maester Conrad's description, I thought it was you, Captain Lester, and Lady Flores, and ...... Uh, these friends. Curator Werner greeted politely, not dabbling with the question of whether humans or non-humans were human, as his assistants did.
Lukka waved his hand in response: "Just come in, what kind of applause!"
He'd only seen Werner before, when Taylor was covered in black lines when he was controlled by the Voidman's Consciousness Fragments. Unexpectedly, this old man's memory is still very good, and he recognizes himself at a glance.
"I've had very few visitors here since Archon Taylor left the island, and you planned his departure, right?" asked Werner, as he sat down on the throne.
Lukka just smiled and nodded, he didn't want to give too many details.
Werner clearly understood what he meant, and did not ask too much, but turned the subject to Luca's visit: "Captain Lester, don't blame me for talking too much, there is one thing I have to ask. ”
"What's the matter?"
Werner pointed to the assistant sitting next to him: "At the door just now, where did you hear that sentence you said to Conrad?"
Lukka was stunned for a moment, and asked with some surprise, "Why, don't you know that sentence?"
"Of course we know," replied Werner, "that all who seek knowledge and truth may enter here, and we will be courteous,' is the creed of the Library's scholars." But if it weren't for the Bachelor, it would be impossible to have heard of this sentence, and even Lord Mores, who had studied here for several years, oh no, Mr. Mores, had not been told of it. ”
Lukka asked curiously, "If this sentence is not spread, what are you writing it on the gate for?"
"The gate?" said Werner, who was surprised this time, "you mean, the patterns on the gate are some kind of text?
"yes, don't you all know each other?" Lukka scratched his head, then snapped into his senses.
He couldn't read the words at all, so he didn't realize at first that they weren't the words used in the Sunset Islands, but the ones used in the wizarding world. The writing of the Sunset Islands is similar to English, if you draw analogy, while the writing of the wizarding world looks more like Chinese characters. Therefore, it is conceivable that Werner took those words as patterns.
However, Lukka didn't have the patience to tell him from beginning to end now, so he just avoided complexity and said: "That's the text of another world, what is going on, you can ask the knight when you have time." ”
Werner nodded and said, "Okay, after seeing that you are here this time, there must be something important, I'm afraid you are not here to comfort me, a lonely old man, right?"
"Of course," Luca replied, "I wanted the curator to help us find a book." ”
"What kind of book?"
Lukka was about to describe the appearance of the book, when an idea suddenly struck: "Curator, do you have any books written in those words on the door?"
Werner sighed: "Do you think that if there were such a book, we would still treat words as patterns?"
"That's right. Lukka had no choice but to describe the book he was looking for, from the cover to the paper.
"I don't have any books here that are exactly the same as you say. Werner thought for a moment, "I do remember a similar one, though. This is the book that Joseph mentioned to you. ”
"Joseph, which Joseph?" Lukka was a little confused.
"I'm sorry, it's me. Mores pointed to himself.
"Oh, you still have a name?" Lukka nodded, "I thought you were called 'That Knight'!"
"The knight," Joseph Mores glared at him for a long time, and finally squeezed a sentence out of his teeth: "Do you still read that book?"
"Look, of course. Luca turned to Curator Werner, "Then ask the Curator to take out the book." ”
Werner didn't move, but shook his head and said, "This is a bit difficult. ”
"Oh, I see!" Lukka suddenly realized, "Do you need to register for the borrowing icon?" or do you need me to get a card?"
Werner smiled bitterly and said, "It's not this, that book, I can't get it." ”
"Lost, damaged?" Mores was a little surprised, "When I first saw it, the book was still in the innermost shelf!"
"Yes, it's still there, and no one has touched it. Werner nodded, "Besides, it's been on that shelf for years, and it's been there since I was an apprentice in the library. After all the bookshelves have been sorted out so many times over the decades, why do you think it's been left in place?"
Lukka suddenly laughed, "I see! You must have tried, that book, no one can take it off the shelf, right?"
