Louis walked into a room filled with the smell of decaying wood and book covers, and to his astonishment, the walls of the room were covered with papers, and from top to bottom, the various words and maps were as vast as the stars, and they were more detailed than the books he had seen in his previous days as a scribe in the convent. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Turning his head, on the north side of the house, there was an old man in a gray robe, with a wide metal necklace around his neck, a velvet blanket on his legs, a solid wood table covered with heavy books in front of him, and two black boxes full of various instruments and tools on the right side.

The old man was looking at him as if he were examining something, and he couldn't take his eyes off it.

Louis watched by him.

The old man suddenly felt that this young man was probably not as simple as a chef. As soon as he entered, he looked up casually, but found that the boy was very interested in the decoration of the room, not surprised by the dense and messy arrangement at first sight, but attracted by it.

He had always had a sharp eye for people, and he could see that the boy, though he was suppressing his desires, seemed to be erupting something, wanting to peek into the secrets of these words.

"Do you understand the words?" said the old man suddenly.

In addition to the special history of the roof of the slaughterer, there are many people in this world who have received basic education in the monastery, even farmers, in order to understand the legal tax bill, they will learn a few words, but since the Rebellion of the Gods, the continent of Kaus has been divided, and there are fewer and fewer people who can read words.

Louis nodded: "I used to work with a stationer, and I also worked as a scribe in the abbey. ”

Compared with many people, the original owner is still a little knowledgeable, although not much.

After all, anyone who has ever been a scribe knows that this kind of work is to copy numbly, and everyone will not pay attention to the right or wrong of the original book, whether it is right or wrong, they will copy it in the same way, so that it is constantly rewritten, and few people pay attention to what the content of the book itself is.

The old man was a little surprised.

A chef can also listen, speak, read and write, which is not ordinary.

The way he looked at Louis changed a lot.

He asked, "Where did you learn this 'silk doll'? Or is it the result of your own research?" and it tastes good. ”

The pigeon smiled, the old man always liked duplicity, not to mention that it was not bad, so a large plate was all eaten, and even the dipping water was drunk.

"I learned from books. Since he had already said that he could read, Louis pushed the boat with the flow.

"Oh, on the books?" the old man was interested, "what books?"

It's surprising that he hadn't seen it.

However, there are very few books on this type of diet, and he has not read much, and he does not even know the several ingredients prepared by the boy, and he even claims to be erudite? He decided to find the book that the boy read, and of course, he thought, there must be a lot of delicacies among them, and if the pigeon learns it, his future food will be settled.

However, the boy said, "There is no title." ”

"How can there be no title?" the old man wondered.

"Because I forgot. ”

“......”

The pigeon was dumbfounded, but the old man looked at the young man with a twisted eyebrow, feeling helpless.

But if you think about it carefully, you really shouldn't ask, no matter what the other party says is true or not, insiders are most taboo about revealing their skills, even if there is really such a book, how can they tell others?

He didn't say anything more, and glanced at the pigeon, but before the young man could speak, Louis had already said, "I have other requests." “

The pigeon said before that Louie could make a request in return for cooking food, although he thought that Louie was already a person in the roof, and it stands to reason that the old man did not need to bear anything, but after all, the other party was a powerful chef, which was also a sign of respect for the other party.

The request is his own will, but it can't represent the old man, Louis said this, the young man was stunned, and he couldn't help but glance at the old man.

The old man wrinkled his eyebrows slightly, and before the young man could say anything, the old man waved his hand and said, "What request?"

"I can prepare food for you, but in return, I want to know the history of this world. “

Louis suddenly felt that this trip was the right one, and his most urgent thing was to know what kind of world he was traversing.

The old man and the young man were surprised, the two looked at each other, the latter nodded and slowly retreated, but the old man sat down and looked at the young man in front of him: "You want to know the history of this world?"

"Yes. ’

The old man looked strange.

He wondered how a commoner boy could think about this, but after thinking about it, he thought that maybe it was just a hobby of an ignorant teenager, and he thought of him as a storyteller, wanting to hear those bizarre legends or heroic epics.

Thinking about it like this, he was a little depressed, but after all, he had received the favor of others, so he still said, "What story do you want to hear?"

"I want to know," Louis said, with a serious expression, "the history of this world from its birth to the present day." ”

There was a moment of silence in the room.

The old man glanced at Louis in surprise, and suddenly felt that the young man's eyes were very ambitious.

Desire determines behavior, and what is he trying to know the full history of this world?

The old man suddenly became interested.

Originally, he was going to pick up a few stories to perfunctory the young man, but now he was a little interested, opened the second row of drawers, he touched inside, pulled out a book about ten centimeters in size, opened the fourth row of drawers, and took out a thick stack of parchment.

The old man flipped through the black box on the right side again, took out a wooden box, opened the magnifying glass with a red cloth cushion inside, and stood up suddenly.

Louis looked at his legs in amazement.

Like nothing, he was able to move around completely, and he didn't seem to be struggling.

The old man didn't hide it, the reason why he lied about having a leg disease was to avoid unnecessary contact with other people, but it was obviously inconvenient to sit now.

"Look," reprimanded the old man, "come here." ”

He uncovered a huge folded piece of paper in the parchment, and slowly revealed a huge topographical map of the world, which was densely marked with land arteries, river flows, ocean winds, and even circled the major forces, family coats, ethnic languages, and ethnic ......

A huge map, dense and messy, a million times more complicated than the map given to him by the troupe!

Louis was pleasantly surprised.

That's what he wants!

The old man sneered: "The young man is lucky! Ask the right person! In this world, except for me, there is no second person who can really know the complete history of this world." ”

"Even in the largest library in Wisdom City, there is no such detailed world map, since it has begun, you have to listen carefully, whether it is boring or complicated, I will not talk about it a second time. ”

"Good. Louis said with a straight face, looking at the topographical map in front of him seriously, the blue power in his mind seemed to slowly grow with his concentration, as if to remember, carving every word and every sentence that the old man said.

"The history of human civilization is about 3,400 years ......"
