Alestelle King City, Wang Yu's residence on Hongfeng Street, the magic crystal lamp in the room was on, and it was night outside, which allowed these lights to shine through the windows of the house, and by the way, illuminated some of the scenes in the courtyard.

Sitting at the dining table in the living room, Wang Yu looked at the only thing in his hand that was brought out of the large stacks, the story of the librarian, Mr. Samuel Hayden, the personal autobiography that he had condensed with the last force.

"This is a librarian who can definitely be called great."

I quickly finished reading this book with very concise, but quite clear and clear words to tell the story of Samuel Hayden, who was once the god of knowledge, and then became the "fire watcher" in the epic battle of the "bottom of the abyss" and laid the foundation of today's continental pattern, and in the end, became the "god of knowledge".

Finally, Samuel did have almost no power before he fell silent, and his last condensed autobiography skipped most of his "life" in childhood, schooling, and a period of time when he became a god of knowledge.

"Well, Mr. Librarian is indeed a great man, and if we don't look at his past deeds, he saved us with all his strength in the end, which is completely worthy of our sincere tribute to him."

Sitting opposite Wang Yu was Avia, who was studying her recovered arm, and next to her was a silent being who listened to Wang Yu's speech, the Night Lady, Daknis, sitting on the seat next to the girl, the god friend Wang Yu and Samuel mentioned, and I didn't know what I was thinking.

Wang Yu tells the story of Samuel to Avia and the Night Lady, the Fire Watcher, a profession born in the battle of "The Abyss", the role of this profession is to preserve the "tinder", and these tinders, is knowledge.

At that time, the war between the five clans and the abyss was protracted, and no one knew who would win the war that lasted for nearly a hundred years, whether it was the bottomless abyss that kept pouring out monsters or the intelligent races that united to fight against the abyss.

In that turbulent and turbulent era, the intelligent race had not actually developed to the current level, and the gods seemed to be their most deadly and powerful force, and the priests were the most powerful professionals of the intelligent race at that time.

Calling on the blessings of the gods and tearing the enemy apart with the gifts of the gods also shows how hard Samuel, the son of an ordinary nobleman, tried to become the sacrifice of the god of knowledge.

The fire watcher is a profession born in that era, and the purpose is to preserve the spark for the intelligent race to rise again under the premise of the defeat of the intelligent race.

Knowledge, which continues to evolve in the course of inheritance, gives the intelligent races the ability to grow stronger, is what the firewatchers need to take care of.

Even if the main body of the intelligent race falls apart in the decisive battle with the abyss and dies out, the fires guarded by the firekeepers will not die, and these fires will help those who survived to find a chance to rise again.

And the only ones who can store such a huge amount of knowledge are the gods of knowledge, who are very close to the intelligent race, because the concept of knowledge is ubiquitous and especially powerful.

As the priest of the god of knowledge at that time, Samuel Hayden, a noble man who climbed to his current status step by step, resolutely became the firewatcher of the intelligent race.

It is worth noting that there is a big difference between the original aristocracy and the current aristocratic families that have survived by inheritance.

At a time when humanity wasn't as big as it is now, and before Alestale and Seventan appeared, nobility was a hard thing to define.

At that time, the only human kingdom, Atlan, was stipulated in this way, and those who made war exploits were given fiefs, which were considered nobles, and those who opened up territories, wherever they opened, they were his territories, and they were also nobles.

It's weird, right, indeed, the king at that time was a bit of a "crazy" guy in later evaluations.

In order to win the battle with the Lord of the Abyss, this guy privately said to his group of non-commissioned officers, I don't want this kingdom, the enthusiasm of those guys who opened up the territory, plus the exploits to be paid after such a big battle, it is estimated that the nobles are everywhere after the battle, and the place is not their gang.

If you don't want to follow him and have no money to make by then, you can stop serving the royal family now and find another promising way out, this king has already given up everything in order to win the war that will determine the fate of the intelligent race on the mainland.

This is simply crazy, if you change to those ancient kings of the country where Wang Yu is located on the earth, if you make this kind of decision, you will definitely be rebelled by those teams under your stage the next day, and you will be assassinated in a corner somewhere for some reason.

Unfortunately, this is a fantasy world, and His Majesty the King is a legendary mid-tier warrior, and whoever tries to assassinate him, he and his friends who are archmages, legendary wizards, and high priests will let the assassins know what cruelty is.

is such an outrageous king, until the end of the war with the abyss, as soon as the war is over, the territory of the territory is expanded, and most of the kingdom has nothing to do with the royal family.

This guy is still firmly in the position of king until the end of his life, and he is still the longest king in history, so it can only be said that the fantasy world is so magical.

Samuel Hayden's family was in a similar situation, his father was a mage in the army and later became a teacher after his retirement.

When he heard about the new laws of the kingdom, he didn't know which tendon was wrong, so he pulled some veterans who retired with him and some young soldiers who were discharged early due to injuries, and responded to the call to open up territory for the human kingdom.

A group of reckless soldiers and their families have really opened up a fairly large territory in a daze, and have changed from commoners in the kingdom to so-called nobles.

It is decided to become a nobleman, but who will be the lord and who will govern this territory has become a problem.

In total, this pile of five big and three thick veterans, even the female soldiers' abdominal muscles can resist the hammer, and the big and rough ones pushed Samuel Hayden and his father, the mage with the most brilliant brains among them and the guy who had been a teacher, to become a lord.

This is Samuel's experience of becoming a nobleman, and the account of the kingdom of Atlan here takes up quite a lot of space in that thin autobiography, and Samuel must be full of emotion when he looks back at that wonderful era in the long years that followed.

After that, it is the story of Samuel's study, getting acquainted with Roland and Yale, and succeeding in becoming a priest to the god of knowledge at that time with his talent and hard work, which is mentioned in his autobiography.

After becoming a firewatcher, Samuel began to collect knowledge provided by the intelligent race, whether it was all kinds of witchcraft secret methods, or knightly cultivation methods, and even various dangerous forbidden spells, and even some forbidden historical stories about the Void Evil God and messy historical stories, all of which were provided to Samuel.

What Samuel has to do is to use the magic of the god of knowledge to carve this knowledge into his soul and preserve them.

The "Temple of Knowledge" is the magic used to record this knowledge, and it is also the power given to him by the God of Knowledge to use this knowledge to manifest this knowledge in a certain space and make it a library.

This is the prototype of the Great Library, which may not have been as amazing as Wang Yu saw at the beginning, but as the war with the Abyss continues to prolong, Samuel, as a firewatcher, records more and more knowledge, and the scale of this library is also growing wildly, until it becomes the almost endless state that Wang Yu saw.

In the end, the result of the battle at the bottom of the abyss Wang Yu was very clear, the intelligent race won, and the abyss thing was a super weapon made out by the intelligent race, I don't know how many forbidden spells were stuffed, how much witchcraft was added, and how many equivalent alchemy explosives were mixed with the super bomb with the messy monsters inside, and it exploded to pieces.

The moment of the explosion that blew the continent out of the cracks also announced the end of the century-long Abyss Campaign.

And the battle that brought this ultimate weapon to the bottom of the abyss was called the "Bottom of the Abyss" campaign, and the specific traces had disappeared with the explosion of the bomb.

What happened in it at that time has been completely hidden into the dust of history by the end of an explosion, and the intelligent race only knows that at that time, several gods fell in it, including the god of knowledge.

Samuel, the firewatcher, later discovered that his ability to record that knowledge had deteriorated, and because of the fall of the god of knowledge, his magical power was disappearing little by little.

He didn't understand how the God of Knowledge could fall in the Battle of the Abyss, the God of Knowledge was not a god who would rush to the front line, it just recorded knowledge, transmitted knowledge, and protected knowledge, how could it fall...

And it wasn't until much later that Samuel learned what a great decision the god of knowledge had made.

Samuel, who had lost his magical powers, had a hard time maintaining the existence of the library, and those fires were likely to slowly dissipate after he lost his powers.

He made a decision, using alchemy technology, mage power, to transform himself into a form that could record those knowledge, that is, the posture that Wang Yu saw without a lower body, covered by robes, floating in the air.

The autobiography is accompanied by a self-portrait of Samuel, who used to look like a penniless young man who didn't resemble the librarian.

Samuel, who had received the help of various intelligent races as a firewatcher, transformed himself into a form capable of recording that knowledge, and lived in the great library that embodied the knowledge he knew for a long time, and existed as a firewatcher of this knowledge.

As time passed, Samuel noticed a change in himself, and he was gaining the power he once had, as a priest to the god of knowledge.

He could feel that he was changing towards the concept of the god of knowledge, and after the fall of the god of knowledge, Samuel Hayden, who possessed a terrifying store of knowledge, was taking on more and more characteristics of the god of knowledge.

Whether it is the infinite memory ability, or the direct use of this embodied knowledge as a terrifying weapon, the power that once required prayer to obtain is now directly present in the body of this priest of the god of knowledge who has lost his own god.

He didn't quite understand what was going on, but according to Samuel's conjecture, he, with a lot of knowledge, seemed to be becoming the next god of knowledge.

At first, he didn't think it was anything bad, and having these abilities could help him better preserve the knowledge that was used to pass it on, until he found the shackles that were locked in this knowledge.

He found himself unable to convey some knowledge to others, as if there was a binding on his identity as the god of knowledge, and the window through which he could convey knowledge to others was closed.

With the power of the God of Knowledge, he could more easily invoke all the knowledge he knew and understand it with ease.

And Samuel, who was gradually approaching the "pseudo-omniscience" ability in the knowledge possessed by the intelligent race, suddenly discovered in horror that the power of the god of knowledge was a little too terrifying.

He may only have a thousandth of the power of the God of Knowledge now, but he can already use his existing knowledge to continuously deduce further knowledge, refine forbidden spells, and transform witchcraft, all of which are at his fingertips.

When he thought about what the God of Knowledge who had once stood behind the intelligent race with more power and knowledge could do, he was first shocked, then terrified...

The god of knowledge can do so much, and the power of this god is difficult to describe as powerful alone, he is an existence with infinite possibilities.

The sapient race prays to the gods about their existing knowledge, and the gods deduce this knowledge and convey it to the believers.

Believers use this further knowledge to develop and gain more knowledge, which is re-transmitted to the gods, and the process of repetition will lead to the development of the intelligent race at an unimaginable rate.

But no, the god of knowledge of the past didn't do it, he just did what the average god would do, giving magic and occasionally performing miracles, until... Suddenly fell in the battle "The Bottom of the Abyss".

At that moment, Samuel understood the purpose of the God of Knowledge, and the shackles that bound him to convey knowledge to others seemed to be what prevented the God of Knowledge from doing so.

He figured it out, he used to think that the god of death, the god of war, these gods were more powerful than the god of knowledge, but when he received some of the power of the god of knowledge and was also put in the same shackles, he realized that the existence of the god of knowledge was closer to the concept of power than other gods.

Because how to become a god is also a kind of knowledge, what is a god is also a kind of knowledge, and all the information of the gods can be attributed to knowledge, and the attitude of believers towards gods is worship, trust, fanaticism... This is contrary to the concept of knowledge held by the God of Knowledge.

To put it simply, the gods cannot carry the concept of "knowledge", and the existence of the god of knowledge, in turn, restricts the knowledge of the intelligent races, and his existence does not accelerate the development of knowledge, but locks it.

"Human beings do not need the god of knowledge, human beings only need the concept of the god of knowledge, knowledge should be free, and it should not be mastered by a so-called god of knowledge."

When Samuel, who understood this, reflected on the sudden fall of the God of Knowledge, he finally understood that the fall of the God of Knowledge was of his own choosing.

And Samuel, who gradually gained the power of the god of knowledge and began to move closer to the concept of the god of knowledge, also chose a path similar to that of the god of knowledge.

He needs time to wear out the concept of the god of knowledge, and he wants to be a firewatcher, unlocking these bound fires, and this process is silence.

He needs a long enough time for the world to forget the concept of the god of knowledge, to let the concept of the god of knowledge gradually disappear from the gods that people believe in, and to make all the sources of faith power of the god of knowledge disappear, and finally fall silent.

When the concept of the God of Knowledge disappears, there is no longer the shackles that bind Him to the knowledge he knows.

So, he sealed off the library completely, not answering the prayers of any believers, but only maintaining the library that he had embodied.

Some time before, Roland had given him the secret book of the Secret Rites, and he had been studying it for a long time.

But it wasn't until the eve of silence that the power of the God of Knowledge completely disappeared from his body, and the shackles disappeared, that he understood the book and saved Wang Yu with it.

Time has forgotten the God of Knowledge, who does not respond to the prayers of believers and does not perform miracles, and the power of the God of Knowledge in Samuel has become more and more diminished.

Samuel's strength in the final stage may be less than one-ten-thousandth of that year, and indeed, at that time, it is impossible for the old man to dare to invade the large library where he is.

At this time, Samuel sensed that after his power was gone, these locked knowledge would be free, and they would be scattered all over the world in a conceptual freedom, known by the intelligent race that could be understood randomly, and some secrets would also be revealed in front of the eyes of people in this era after the chains faded.

Out of some selfishness, as a former human being, he wanted to give some extra preferential treatment to human beings, hide his identity, and pass on some knowledge that was released from the shackles of the god of knowledge earlier after the power of the god of knowledge weakened because he was not so powerful.

Therefore, there is the "big library" of the academy and the opportunity for new members given by Father Fang to enter the big library.

"At the end of the day, he still wants someone to remember him... It's nice that I'm so special to be able to help such a being keep track of what he does. ”

Wang Yu closed the thin booklet and ended the explanation, with a little emotion, Samuel could not tell others his identity, if he was remembered again, all the preparations for silence would be wasted.

Fortunately, he met Wang Yu on the eve of silence, although he didn't know why, Samuel could feel that telling Wang Yu his identity and telling him that the existence of the God of Knowledge, a god that had long been forgotten by all the churches, would not change.

And Wang Yu will not have any effect if he passes these on to others, because these have also become part of the knowledge, at least, in the end, someone remembers his original name and identity, as well as the sacrifices and contributions he has made.

From now on, because it is not a fall, but a silence, there will be no god of knowledge, and knowledge will no longer be bound.

"Mr. Samuel's efforts have not been in vain, the development of the five races after the battle of "Bottom of the Abyss" can be said to have advanced by leaps and bounds, the breakthrough of the lingua franca, magic, etc., and now the power of the intelligent race has surpassed the past too much. ”

"It's just that I'm a little worried about whether the things that have been silenced in history will bring more turmoil when this knowledge is unshackled."

There was some concern in the girl's words, as a scholar who was much more knowledgeable than Wang Yu, Avia knew better the problems that some knowledge would bring.

"Who knows, let's take it one step at a time, I still have to study my current situation."

Wang Yu put Samuel's autobiography back on the table, these distant and too high-level things still have little to do with him, become stronger, continue to be stronger, this is what he has to do.
