Chapter 15: The Book of Sages and Sages
readx; Shortly after Carlo and Mannie fled, the man in the black cloak walked through the crowd of people who traveled to and from the Sanctuary of Wisdom, and without anyone noticing, entered the huge library of the Sanctuary, which collected all the documents that could be collected in the kingdom, but only a few people knew that there were many hidden and undesirable spaces in this library, such as the one that the Cloaked Man had opened now. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Between the two huge bookshelves, perpendicular to the wall and permanently fixed, there was a gap for only one person to pass sideways, and the man couldn't be too big or he would get stuck. No one would have thought that the wall next to these two inconspicuous bookshelves would have an entrance to the secret room, because behind this wall was a toilet. However, it was the entrance to the chamber that was not supposed to appear that had appeared in front of the Cloaked Man, and the black hole in the wall disappeared after it had submerged into the narrow entrance in the dark.
"Seventh, you're here, where are the chosen ones?" The secret room is not dark, unexpectedly, this secret room has a conical dome more than ten meters high, the dome is built with spar, through the blue spar, there is sunlight refracted in, illuminating the entire secret room, people can't help but guess that this secret room is outside, but I don't know how this is done. At this time, there were already nineteen people standing in the chamber, and all of them were shrouded in the same cloak, and if Carlo had not left and been brought here, there would have been twenty people.
"I'm sorry, One, the man wasn't found, and when I arrived, he left. The cloaked man looking for Carlo bowed slightly to the cloaked man standing in the center of the chamber and apologized.
"Yes, but I don't blame you, I never thought that this election would appear outside the barrier and be noticed, but are you sure that person is not hiding nearby? After all, the pillar of light can't be too far away from the Holy Garden. ”
"I don't know about this, after all, without the barrier of the Holy Garden, the power of the cloak will disappear, and I dare not stay outside for too long, and besides, without the guidance of the Holy Light, I will not be able to identify the target. ”
"Well, that's true, you're right, there's no barrier, neither the Light nor the Cloak can be hidden, and there's no way to lose a Summoner, so let's get started. One nodded to Seven, motioning for him and the rest of the lead to step aside, leaving only nine of the Pillar of Light in the center, and telling the story of everything.
More than 2,000 years ago, with the help and guidance of the gods, the first king of Jursiman led the enslaved people to overthrow the cruel rule of ancient humans and establish the current empire. However, although the war of resistance was won, the new nation faced all kinds of problems that it had never encountered before. Hunger, the threat of beasts, orcs, and the Dark Remnant all made the country vulnerable, and it wasn't long before Jursiman was divided, and while the temple was maintained, the state remained fragmented.
It was at this time that the king was given a book containing the eternal sages, and although history has left no clues as to the origin of this holy book, it is undeniable that it was the sage in the book that made Jursiman so powerful today.
However, this book has never been known to outsiders, because the sages in the book have never appeared in the eyes of the world, but will choose a inheritor to pass on their wisdom to him, which is why the kingdom of Jursiman, the origin of the sages of the past generations, this sage is the inheritor, he is the wise man of the kingdom, assisting the king to govern the country. It was Yulsiman who was able to save him from the brink of collapse and has been passed down for more than 2,000 years. And the selection of the sage has always been a mystery to the world, but now in front of these nine people, this door is about to open.
The Book of Sages has never been shown to the world, and everything about it has been concealed, destroying all the literature, the reason for which is never known, at most there are only some rumors, which roughly means that after the victory of the Holy War, the curse of the ancient demon kingdom descended on the earth, and the people were once again plunged into calamity, pestilence, war, and panic. At this time, the grace of the gods came to earth again, and the Holy Light chose a sage to come, and the loving sage, Ali Seleni, became the first generation of sages, who used her incomparable wisdom to prescribe the disaster that befell the disaster, dispersed the plague, quelled the war, and dispelled the panic of the world.
This is the closest thing to the truth, when the country was pacified, the sage suddenly disappeared, but she left a trail of a second sage, and this sage did not have much of a deed, in fact, all he left behind was West side and the Garden of Wisdom, from which every subsequent generation of sages has come.
As for how the sages were born, as it is now, the purpose of the second generation of sages to build the Sacred Garden of Wisdom was not only to preserve the wisdom of mankind and pass it on, but also to gather talented people from all over the world and select their successors. For this purpose, the Holy Garden has the rules that come to the Sacred Garden to come to the Scholar and not to pay anything, but to like your mentor, which is actually a strategy to attract people from all walks of life. As for the funds for its maintenance, it comes from the beneficiaries of the birth of the sage, the taxes of the Jursiman kingdom over the years.
Since then, whenever the Book of Sages judges that a contemporary sage needs to retire, it will signal to all those in the know with the Philosopher's Stone, and the contemporary sage will preside over the selection of ten candidates, who will choose their successors as it deems fit in the months and years that followed.
After saying that, Number One flipped through the company hidden under the cloak, and this was none other than the current sage Karomi, a white-haired man who had succeeded the sage for forty-seven years and was nearly seventy years old, "All right, ladies and gentlemen, the history lesson has been completed for you, now come and meet your guide." ”
With the gesture of One, that is, Karomi, the nine looked back at the cloaked man behind them, and four of them realized that among these people was their own mentor, and involuntarily took a step forward, but immediately stopped.
"These nine are all the ones who were chosen by the previous session, although there is only one sage, but these are also the polymath in the Holy Garden today, although the Book of the Sages will only choose one successor, but it will pass on the knowledge of all people equally, in the days to come, you only need to study in the Holy Garden with peace of mind, all you have to do is to make a vow, keep this secret, and come to the library to study, the Book of the Sages will always be there, as long as you go, it will guide you. Of course, if any of you don't want to be a sage, you can communicate directly with the book of sages, do you understand?"
The nine looked at the people around them, and six of them nodded, although the sudden call made them have many doubts, but it was obvious that they had all been reminded to hide their identities, so they did not say anything.
"Well, it seems that there is something wrong with the three of you, do you think one of you is missing?"
Three of them nodded.
"Well, about the tenth person, this time is a bit special, we haven't found it for the time being, but it doesn't matter, because you don't need to know the identity of the other party, know that one of you has been called as the successor, okay, otherwise there are no other problems for the time being, then you swear. Please each of you take a different shape of the oath stone from the central pillar, and then follow me to recite the oath, when the stone is red, it proves that your oath has taken effect, and once the stone turns yellow, we will know that you have broken the oath, and your punishment will follow, please be careful. ”
