CH.23 The "Treasure" of Gardtevac

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

In fact, as long as he thinks about the scene just now, Feng Kan will understand the reason.

The teleportation of the Undead Scourge seems to be the same thing as his own spatial movement, but there is a very crucial difference.

Feng Kan's accustomed teleportation is conceptually to carry himself and the objects he touches beyond the distance of space, while the undead scourge just carried out real spatial movement - he directly replaced the entire space with the same volume of space as the destination.

That's why he was able to move the group to its destination at once without touching anyone else.

However, if the space is replaced together, then this ability becomes useless when it is stuck in the tree hole, and if it is transferred, the tree will also be transferred with it, and in the end, the bad situation will not change.

However, Feng Kan didn't have the time to show this, and everything in this hall-like space was more concerning.

The high ceiling, as if connecting the ten floors of the building, is composed of a circular dome made of unknown transparent material, and the bright light through the ceiling presents a hazy state of divinity, bright but not dazzling light makes the eyes very comfortable.

Depending on its internal structure, it is laid out like the remains of an ancient city, with columns and staircases stacked tightly together with stone, staggered passageways, curved suspension bridges, and vine-like vegetation growing on them.

However, in fact, those things that look like stone are all bookshelves~~ in parts.

On the other hand. Miscellaneous goods of unknown origin were also haphazardly arranged, like Escher's trompe l'oeil paintings, depicting irregularly shaped staircases and suspension bridgesβ€”and reflected in the midst of the hall was a large hexagonal cylindrical crystal suspended in the middle of the hall, which refracted the light from the dome and sprinkled evenly in every corner of the space. (Escher: Dutch printmaker known for the mathematical nature of his paintings.) οΌ‰

Fantastical and beautiful - but a profane landscape that is absolutely incomprehensible to man.

β€œ...... These ......"

"These are part of the treasure. ”

In the face of the people who couldn't recognize all the qiΔ“ in front of them, the undead natural disaster proudly showed off.

β€œ...... Treasure ?!......"

There was a gap of 108,000 miles between the sight in front of him and the golden mountains and silver seas and treasures that were originally in everyone's minds, and everyone fell into confusion for a while.

"Well~~ This is really a treasure. ”

No, not everyone is in such a state. Several of them seem to have known about this state of affairs for a long time.

See the scenery in front of you. Feng Kan's two eyes were as light as a beggar who had been hungry for more than ten days, and a bowl of fragrant braised pork suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Huh?...... Brother Kan?"

"Ralph, I was disappointed when I first saw it, wasn't it?"

Without looking back at the surprised little prince, Feng Kan walked to a row of bookshelves with an admiring look on his face and slowly looked at the densely arranged books on it.

"I warned you a long time ago that the 'treasure' in that guy's mouth is not at all the same thing as you imagined. ...... Have you forgotten what I told you?"

β€œ......”

The clever little prince was surprised and thoughtful.

β€œ...... I see. ”

A moment later. He smiled as if he had realized it.

"What are you talking about? What 'I see'?"

Be the first to recover from the shock. When he came back to his senses, he noticed that two outliers were muttering something to him, and Shutana Hardy approached curiously.

"We're talking about what 'humanity's most precious treasure' is. ”

I heard him ask this question. Feng Kan and Ralph looked back at the same time and gave him a mysterious smile.

"Oh?"

Hearing their mysterious answers, the steady dragon knight who led the team looked a little puzzled, and raised his eyebrows to carefully observe the bookshelf in front of him.

"So...... Where is the so-called 'most precious treasure of mankind'?"

I didn't see anything famous after watching it for a long time. Shutana Hardy asked solemnly, retracting his gaze.

"Well~~ That's all you have in front of you. ”

Hearing him ask, Feng Kan happily raised his hand to the bookshelf in front of him that couldn't be seen how tall or wide it was.

"Huh?"

"These are the 'most precious treasures of mankind' in front of us. ”

"These?"

Shutana Hardy pointed to the dense shelves that didn't know how many books they contained, and she was even more confused.

"That's right, that's it. ”

Feng Kan nodded very affirmatively.

He already understood very well what the so-called "holy city" was for.

"Lord Hardy, the reason why you are confused is because you have not yet recognized the true value of these 'treasures'. ”

At this moment, Dimandak walked up from behind them to join the conversation.

"That's it, to understand the value of these 'treasures', we must first understand what real 'wealth' is. ”

Feng Kan looked at the old man with approval, and then said.

"What is real 'wealth'?"

The dragon knight who led the team vaguely felt a clue from the other party's words, but he was still in a fog.

"Exactly. ”

Facing the thoughtful dragon knight, Feng Kan smiled slightly.

"'Wealth', what exactly is 'wealth'? Money is just money, just a simple and ordinary object, and the same is true of gold and silver treasures, which can neither be eaten nor worn, and if they cannot be exchanged for other items needed for survival, it is no different from broken copper and iron, do you think such a thing is appropriate to call it 'wealth'?"

Feng Kan had said these things to the little prince, but now he was going to explain the concept in more detail.

Hearing this, the little prince, who had already accepted his theory one step earlier, subconsciously shook his head, Dimandak smiled and touched his beard under his chin, while Shutana Hardy, who had heard his argument for the first time, seemed to be caught in the battle between heaven and man.

This is very normal, even in the modern earth civilization, there are very few people who can think deeply about what is the real "wealth", the vast majority of people are confused, under the modern free economic rules, people have become accustomed to competing for economic interests in the framework of the stable economic order, except for some professionals who study economic laws, few people go back to think deeply about what is the fundamental basis behind these economic rules.

"In order to meet the basic conditions of survival, man has to have food, clothes to wear, and a house to live in, so that man has learned to pick the fruits of trees and catch all kinds of wild beasts, and in order to carry out these activities of obtaining survival resources more efficiently, man has exhibited the techniques of farming and grazing and the tools necessary for these production.

With the development of human society, the population is increasing, and the original production methods and tools can no longer meet the needs of production, so human beings improve the production methods and tools on the basis of the original technology. This process was repeated every once in a while, step by step, to get to the world we are in now.

You're right?"

β€œ......”

No one answered him, and Ralph waited intently to hear what he had to say, while Shutana Hardy remained a little puzzled, while Dimandak smiled and said nothing.

"In fact, these are the 'wealth' of human beings, those more convenient methods of work, those more convenient tools, the technology that constantly improves the living standards of human beings, and the technology that improves the living conditions of human beings. True wealth is actually only stored here......"

As he spoke, Feng Kan pointed to his head.

"Speaking of which, I think everyone should also understand that the greatest 'wealth' of mankind is precisely human beings themselves.

And that's the basis for all my actions, that each person is an individual, with different thoughts, different personalities, different experiences, and different opportunities, and it is these differences that give birth to infinite possibilities, and you never know what opportunities a person will have in the future, what kind of achievements he will achieve, what kind of changes he will have, what kind of impact he will have on the world - as long as he believes in his own possibilities and works for them. ”

That's it.

There is a saying in the United States: "Because we don't know which child will become the president of the United States in the future, we need to do everything we can to ensure that any child can grow up healthy." ”

It is precisely because human beings themselves are the most precious "wealth" of this world that the act of "war" is the greatest tragedy in human society.

Because what it obliterates is the possibility of the future of the world.

At this time, other people also noticed the situation here, and everyone 66 continued to surround the four people, quietly listening to Feng Kan's introduction of what "wealth" is.

"And these ......"

Feng Kan, who continued to expound his opinion, didn't care about the actions of the others, he turned around and opened his arms as if he wanted to hug those books.

β€œ...... It is the experience and wisdom accumulated by mankind before the War of Chaos, the crystallization of the wisdom of countless sages, and the rich and immeasurable 'wealth' of books, as the skeleton stick himself said, deservedly 'the most precious treasure of mankind'!"

The holy city of Gadteoise - in fact, the most complete "library" of the Age of the Gods, or would it be more correct to call it a "repository"?
