I don’t know whether it was because of his experience on the desert island or because of his own personality. Bernardo was particularly fond of books. However, his love of books was different from that of scholars. Except for a few books, he read most of them carefully.

I browsed through them casually, and even bought many books without reading them, just to collect them.

This habit of Bernardo is also very famous in Ma Tau Bay. Many people suspect that Bernardo's private collection may be larger than the combined collection of all the officials in Ma Tau Bay. This suspicion has become the case this time.

The leader of the pioneering group received confirmation when he left Ma Tau Wan.

Perhaps he thought he would not return to Nags Head Bay this time, so when he left, he took away what he considered the most valuable part of his book collection, and the part he took away filled five cars.

The number of books that were not taken away by the carriage was enough to build a large library.

Leo naturally covets these books by Bernardo. He has been paying attention to those books since he left Ma Tau Bay. Now that he has reached a cooperation agreement with Bernardo, he will naturally not miss the opportunity to read those books.

Bernardo did not refuse, and he readily issued a certificate to Leo that he was allowed to read books, and also provided some pens and paper so that he could copy some books. The only thing not allowed was that the books could not be taken away from where they were stored.

carriage.

Although Bernardo only took away part of his book collection, there were more than four hundred books in this part. In the past two days, while Bernardo was busy setting up a new temporary camp and contacting the Nature Association, Leo

Just stay alone in the carriage where the books are stored, and look through these precious books.

These books are precious not just because of the knowledge recorded in them, but more importantly because these books are the private collections of some famous scholars in Novatia and their unpublished research materials. The reason why they are not published may be due to some factors.

Social reasons may also be personal reasons.

According to the customs of the Novat Continent, all kinds of materials that were not published after the death of these scholars will be collected and collected by donations from the scholars' friends or colleagues, plus a corresponding allocation from the kingdom, and then compiled into a volume and handed over to the scholar's heirs for safekeeping.

Because these types of books contain a large number of scholars' fantastic ideas and research results of unknown value, they are extremely valuable in the book market of Novatia. Some books by famous people that involve some secret matters are even more expensive.

For example, a palace scholar accidentally recorded the process of a very important palace coup in one of his research notebooks. This notebook was later inadvertently included in the scholar's collected works after his death. As a result, the collected works were

The mysterious man bought it for an astonishing price that could buy a manor in the capital of that country.

Of course, the books Bernando purchased cannot be of such high value, but some of the collections compiled by scholars after their deaths are also very expensive, and the collections purchased by Bernardo are all related to geography, history and folklore.

Related, very targeted, and the value of such books in the market is slightly lower, which is why Bernardo was able to buy so many books with his net worth.

The reason why books such as geography, history and folklore are not expensive is because the content in these books does not bring any value to buyers. Most books such as history and folklore are classified into

Some useless pillow books and the like.

Although geography books sometimes mention the distribution of mineral veins, the problem is that except for a few countries in the Novat continent, most other countries do not allow private mining. All mineral deposits belong to the country or the king.

Even the lords of the territories where the mineral deposits are located do not allow private excavation, otherwise they will be convicted of treason. Therefore, even if someone who studies geography knows where rich mineral deposits exist, it is impossible to benefit the person who obtains the book.

After Bernardo bought these books, he obviously read them many times, because there are many reading experiences he left behind in these books. Unfortunately, these reading experiences are of little value to Leo.

Compared with the reading experience left by Bernardo, some text contents left by other previous book owners are somewhat useful.

For example, in a folklore book, there is a folk legend about the white-haired ranger. The content of the legend is very simple, that is, a white-haired ranger was discovered in a certain area in the past. This ranger specialized in robbing bad nobles, and then

Distribute the looted money to the poor.

The story is very simple and very common. There are similar legends in the folklore of various countries in the Novat continent. However, the previous owner of this book should be a scholar who specializes in folklore research. He believes that this book

The folk legend about the White-haired Ranger in the novel should be the earliest White-haired Ranger legend on the Novat continent.

For this reason, he specially went to the birthplace of this folklore to conduct an investigation. The investigation lasted three years, and the investigation data was compiled into a book. However, Bernardo did not have this book in his hands, but fortunately

The scholar left a few pages of information related to the investigation results and glued them to the pages of the folklore book and stuck them in the book. These pages of information were of great use to Leo.

In these pages of information, the scholar mentioned that the white-haired ranger in folklore is actually a woman, and that this woman has a pair of emerald green eyes and has extremely superb swordsmanship. The reason why this scholar knows so much is

, because he found a statue of the White-haired Ranger from the same period as the Legend of the White-haired Ranger. Although the statue was somewhat damaged, the general shape could still be seen clearly, and the eyes decorated with emeralds were also intact.

This allows scholars to determine that the white-haired ranger has green pores.

In addition, there is a wolf head ornament and some kind of bird symbol on the statue. Scholars think this may be the emblem of some kind of noble, so they speculate that the white-haired ranger is actually a certain noble, and may have lost his noble status for some reason.

Because of his identity, he resented those bad nobles very much and regarded them as targets for robbery.

After seeing these contents, Leo immediately had an association in his mind. The emerald green child's eyes, the white-haired woman, the extremely high swordsmanship, the wolf head accessories and the bird symbols made him think of himself.

When he first saw the girl named Ciri in the world with a demon hunter, he remembered that he had read some books that mentioned the legend of ancient blood. It was said that people with ancient blood could freely roam the world.

Space travel, and the girl named Xili seems to have ancient blood and has traveled through different worlds.

Therefore, Leo suspected that Ciri might have come to this world and stayed here for a long time, creating the legend of the White-haired Ranger before leaving.

Leo is also very interested in how Xili left this world. He speculates that it has something to do with Xili's bloodline. Perhaps this kind of power derived from the bloodline can directly pass through the space barrier without being released outside the body, because in

In related legends, it is mentioned that the white-haired ranger can enter anywhere, including the private chambers of nobles, which makes Leo feel like he has some kind of ability to travel through space.

Discovering that there may be a connection between this world and the world where the demon hunter lives is just one of the gains that Leo gained from these books. The gain that Leo really valued was that he discovered that this world and Velen were in those books about history.

The world is more closely connected than he guessed, and this closeness is not only reflected in history, but also in gods.

Yes, not only people from the world of Velen have come to this world in the past, but even gods have most likely come to this world and stayed in this world for a long time.

The reason why Leo thinks so is because in the history of various countries in the Novat continent, there are some particularly famous political reforms that are almost exactly the same as some political reforms in the Velen continent. The only difference may be because of the difference in language.

The name of the person is also different.

For example, the most famous aristocratic power law of the French Empire appeared in the Kingdom of Anglis, the largest landlocked country in the world's Novat continent, and became the core law that could stabilize the political power of the Kingdom of Angris. In this book

The relevant historical books have detailed records of all the contents of this law, and these contents are exactly the same as the French Empire Noble Powers Law that Leo has read. This similarity is not only the same in content, but also in the wording.

The sentences are exactly the same, only the language is different, and even the names are the same as the Law of Noble Power.

Although from a time perspective, it seems that the French Empire announced the Noble Power Law first, but after experiencing the emergence of Queen Xine, Leo already felt that although the current world and the world of Velen are connected to each other, the speed of time flows

But it is different, so it is very likely that the law of noble power was issued here first, and then someone from the French Empire came to this world and saw the law, and then returned to the world of Velen, and then put the law into effect.

It was submitted and published in the French Empire, becoming one of the many laws in the French Empire that restricted the power of the nobility.

The reason why he guessed this was because judging from the content of this law, it was completely established for the political system of the Kingdom of Angris on the Novat continent. Therefore, even now, the Kingdom of Angris can still rely on this set of laws to strengthen its strength.

The royal power limited the power of the nobility and made the domestic political situation extremely stable.

Looking back at the French Empire, although this set of laws can still be implemented in the French Empire, many of the provisions in it are not suitable for the political structure of the French Empire, so the effect is not particularly great, so that it needs to be continuously promulgated later.

Relevant supplementary provisions were made to strengthen the execution of this set of laws, but even so, this set of laws still could not save the collapse of the French Empire. Therefore, from the execution effect of this set of laws, we can judge what the source of the laws was.

where.

In addition, Leo also learned from the information from the French Empire that the proposer of this set of laws was Earl Wilmans. He was a military aristocrat and had always been extremely hostile to the traditional aristocratic system. This set of aristocratic rights was proposed by Leo.

Although the law will also restrict the military nobility to a certain extent, the traditional aristocratic system will be hit harder.

The identity of Earl Wilmans is also unusual. Although he takes his mother's surname, his father's surname is Belmont, which means he is a member of the Belmont family. This also makes Leo suspect that he will lose a memory.

, and then came to this world, maybe it was related to Sylvia, and Sylvia was very likely to be in this world.

In addition to the aristocratic power laws, these historical books also record some laws that are also familiar to Leo. Although some of these laws have slightly different names and some contents are slightly deleted, they overall look similar to those in the world of Velen.

Some representative laws are so consistent that even a blind person can see the connection between the two.

However, this is not what concerns Leo the most. What really concerns Leo is the gray fog that once existed on the oceans of this world.

Bernardo is obviously also very interested in gray fog at sea, so there are a lot of books on gray fog research among these books. There are not many books of real value among these books. There are only two books with the most value, one is called Gray Fog

Observer, a book called Ghost Ship in the Gray Fog.

As the name suggests, the book Gray Fog Observer is a book dedicated to recording the changes in gray fog. In fact, this book is not the work of a certain researcher, but a Gray Fog Observation Lighthouse set up by a coastal kingdom named Jamor.

The organization's observation records of gray fog over the years. This book is also the thickest and thickest among all Bernando's books. There are thirteen books in total, and each book is three times as thick as other normal secretaries.

times.

The content of this book is extremely boring. It is similar to a chronicle record, with one line of date and one line of observation records. The content of most of the record lines is the same as above, because the gray fog is very stable and rarely changes, and even if it changes, it will not change.

It only takes one line to record, for example, the color of the fog becomes lighter or darker, the fog appears to roll like clouds, etc.

It was these boring records that allowed Leo to determine that the disappearance of the gray fog on the sea in this world was related to the appearance of the gray fog in the Velen world, because these records mentioned more than once that huge monster images appeared in the gray fog, and observed

The observers also recorded the appearance of the monster in detail, but these observers only recorded part of it, and the rest of the content became meaningless random text. It felt as if the person who recorded this content quickly stripped away their rationality.

Became a madman.

And even though he only recorded some of the appearances of the monsters in the gray fog, Leo was able to find from these gray fog monsters with obvious characteristics that these monsters also appeared in the gray fog of the world of Velen. The only difference is that

The frequency of these monsters appearing in this world is very low, but the frequency of appearing in Velen's world is very high.
