Chapter 82: The Adventure Guild Library
Along the unique bluestone pavement of Kansa City, Wen Jiming walked leisurely and slowly in the direction of the library of the Adventure Mercenary Guild.
Since completing the last mission, all the members of the Angel War Squad have each received an honorarium of two hundred gold talens, and everyone has chosen to give themselves a few days off to relax.
All the girls, who had gotten up early in the morning, had gone out shopping, and there were several men who were sleeping in the hotel, and the rest were all gone.
If he is not in his own home, Wen Jiming himself rarely sleeps.
When he got up for breakfast today, he found that most of the people were no longer in the hotel, so he decided to go to the library of the Adventure Mercenary Guild by himself.
It may be because there are quite a lot of legendary professionals in the legal system who live in Kansa City, and the urban construction plan of this free city is the best among all the cities in the other world that Wen Jiming has visited.
Almost all the city roads are paved with neatly cut bluestone slabs, and even the narrowest city roads in the city can accommodate two horse-drawn carriages traveling side by side.
These roads are all unusually straight, crisscrossing and dividing the entire city of Kansa into a huge chessboard city.
In the city of Kansa, there are basically no wooden houses, almost all the buildings are made of polished stone, and the more status of the residents, the better the building stone used.
If the inhabitants are more particular, the stone surfaces used in their buildings will be polished into various patterns and geometric figures, and the dwellings of those who are more noble will even be carved on the stones of their buildings, with various human figures, flowers, birds, and animals.
From time to time, small birds such as sparrows or swallows fly out of the cracks in these buildings, and after a while they fly in again, constantly busy back and forth, presumably building their nests.
"With peach blossoms, Xie apricot blossoms, Du Yuxin cries swallows."
This poem fully depicts the moving scenery in this March spring.
Wen Jiming admired the surrounding area, all kinds of artistic and ancient buildings, while strolling along the street, the streets of Kansa City in March, there are obviously many more pedestrians than in winter.
On both sides of the street, there are a few small vendors selling fruits and other agricultural products that they bring from the suburbs.
The roads are constantly filled with waterwheels filled with spring water, or horse-drawn carriages loaded with goods, reflecting the unique charm of this ancient otherworldly city, a commercial city with strong and vigorous consumption power.
Wen Jiming came out of the hotel where he was, and after walking through four streets, he came to the door of the library of the Mercenary Adventure Guild.
It is a three-story stone building, which is unusually tall and noticeable compared to the other stone houses on the street.
Walking through the doors of the museum, you will be greeted by a number of life-size statues, each of which is intricately carved and lifelike.
This is also what Wen Jiming feels strange about this other world, since he crossed over, he has basically never seen beautiful paintings, but statues like this kind of ingenious work abound.
A trade union worker, who apparently belonged to the museum, stepped forward to block Wen Jiming's way.
"Hello nobleman, this is the museum of the mercenary union, and we do not accept visitors."
Wen Jiming took out the voucher of the elite squad issued to him by the union official and said with a smile.
"Hello, I'm the captain of the War Angels Squad, and the union officials told me that I can go here and check out some information."
When the staff of the archive finished verifying Wen Jiming's voucher, they immediately changed to a smile and asked.
'Welcome to the union's archive, what are you going to see?' All the materials and books we have here are grouped together, just tell me what you want to see, and I can help you point out the information you want to find in that place. ”
Wen Jiming nodded.
"I want to see books and materials about the history of various continents now, do we have any unions?"
The staff of the museum pointed to it with their hands.
"All the historical materials and books are in the row of rooms on the left-hand side of the third floor, and you can go up and find them yourself."
"Thank you for your guidance."
After thanking the staff of the museum, Wen Jiming walked towards the staircase in the middle.
When Wen Jiming walked into the first room where historical books and materials were placed, he was immediately attracted by the books on the dozens of shelves in this room.
Wen Jiming walked to the front of the first bookshelf and took down the thickest book on the top.
I saw that on the cover were written three ancient texts "The Theory of the Century" that he could understand.
Yo, the name of the first book is so high, it's really funny.
Opening the cover, the title written in ancient script on the first page immediately attracted his attention.
"I call the first age of the Age of Genesis the Book of Creation."
Then continue to write below.
"The gods and the supremes, the purpose for which the various races were created is completely selfish!"
"Their sole purpose is to use our races to make them more powerful and thus gain an advantage in the Divine War."
Wow, this author really dares to say it, Wen Jiming sighed secretly in his heart, and continued to read carefully.
"I think we've gone through two epochs so far, the first of which I call Genesis."
"In this era, various races were created by various gods and supremes, and then these races, distributed by these gods on various continents, multiplied, and through various forms of warfare, seized the dominance of each continent, thus relatively helping these gods and supremes and strengthening their own power."
"These gods and supremes, according to their own ways of doing things, and different habits and hobbies, formed an alliance of gods, which I call the gods, and then for a long time, they continued to fight with each other, and many gods were destroyed, until now only these last nineteen gods remain."
Wen Jiming roughly estimated that the author had written this book, which was obviously written 1,800 years ago.
It is estimated that the author did not expect that today, after 1,800 years, there are only eight god systems left, and a main god who has just been born not long ago.
Wen Jiming continued to look down.
"When various races began to use their wisdom to make tools, due to the emergence of bronze, a metal tool invented by human beings, the entire human society, together with other racial societies, entered a new era, that is, the era we are in now, which I call the Bronze Age, also known as the Second Age."
Wen Jiming was a little puzzled, because now that iron tools have been popularized and used, bronze tools have long entered the dust of history, why have he never heard of the third century?
Could it be that people from other worlds don't think that iron is much more advanced than bronze?
Suppressing his curiosity, Wen Jiming continued to look down.
"As for when, the Second Age will end, the new Age will come, and we have also done some divination and prophecy, but everyone's opinions are not unanimous, but everyone agrees that at the beginning of the new Era, people will use unprecedented tools to replace the tools they use now, and human wisdom will bring greater benefits to these gods."
"At that time, the rules and laws of the entire universe will change greatly, and the various god systems that exist now are likely to be affected, and at that time there may be an unprecedented divine war, and the entire universe will have changes, of course, these are just our guesses, but this era will definitely come."
"For the above reasons, I call this future third era tentatively named the New Law Era, and this future century will be named by those who have experienced it firsthand."
"Wonder Mage, Great Prophet: Derazandra Zola."
Looking further back, there are some records, some legends and stories in the first and second ages of folk circulation, and the next few pages are some prophecies and judgments of this legendary mage about the future world.
It's really interesting, Wen Jiming couldn't help but secretly admire after reading the whole book.
Although this legendary mage did not predict the appearance of the ninth star, there are many accurate predictions for some other things, one of which is that the number of gods in the future is likely to decrease even more, and the final number will be reduced to single digits.
Wen Jiming spent nearly four hours, in these several rooms where historical books were placed, and after roughly reading a lot of books and historical materials, he found a strange phenomenon, that is, these books rarely involved those planets on the periphery of time and space.
Basically, all history books are about starting from the center of time and space, and the section to the middle of time and space has stopped, and there is almost no record from the middle of time and space to the edge of time and space, which inevitably caused Wen Jiming to ponder.
Now it seems that the footsteps of human beings do not involve the edge of time and space, even if there is no record of the planet Imia, whether this is just the mercenary union's own reason, or the entire human society, the question remains to be investigated.
Wen Jiming decided to wait until he had the opportunity to contact those legendary mages in the future, and then investigate further, after all, most of these mages are based on the party, and they are famous for collecting various books.
In this way, Wen Jiming spent a whole day reading in the library of the mercenary union, and seeing that it was getting late, he decided to leave here first and wait until tomorrow to continue to come to satisfy his strong curiosity.
