Chapter 36 The Secret of the Library
Sato, library.
"Books and knowledge have always been treasures that we Kunyang people value. The books here are all collected from major ruins over the ages, including astronomical phenomena, geography, and even the mysterious Tulu."
Gaia proudly introduced to Wang Changle that in the cave with a height of 100 meters, there are huge bookcases, and various "books" that record text are displayed in them.
Yes, compared to humans, the library of the Kunyang people is hidden deep in underground caves.
Even though the scientific research of the Kunyang people has far surpassed that of humans, they still prefer paper books or pottery fragments for the preservation of books.
Wang Changle was shocked when he looked at the millions of books in each bookcase.
Although there are many types of 'books', the arrangement is very detailed. According to Gaia's explanation, each huge bookcase represents a branch category.
Wang Changle, who had weak basic knowledge of Cthulhu, did not hesitate much and quickly arrived in front of the bookcase that collected relevant historical documents and introductions to the world.
As for other knowledge and techniques, even the sacrificial array, Wang Changle can obtain it from the Paradise of Reincarnation, but only pure basic knowledge cannot.
Although this knowledge cannot increase his panel attributes, nor can it give Wang Changle stronger abilities, it can speed up his understanding of the world of Cthulhu.
Understand specific biological knowledge, be familiar with the forms of some organisms or indescribable things, and the conditions of 'pollution'.
This can allow Wang Changle to bring more coping methods when facing related crises.
"The top one is the development history of our Kunyang people, the middle one is the relic records about the underground world, and the bottom one is the fragments of civilization of related creatures..."
Looking up, the top shelf is filled with hardcover books, the middle shelf is full of various rubbings, and the bottom shelf is filled with character engravings from various civilizations.
Wang Changle, who rises in the wind, first chooses books on the development history of the Kunyang people.
Although the development history is long and complicated, it is the summary and accumulation of the Kunyang people over the long years. Viewing the world from the perspective of ancient knowledge can allow Wang Changle to have a more intuitive understanding of the Cthulhu system.
It's just that the words on it are not in Wang Changle's cognition, and he can't understand its meaning.
"Gaia, you Kunyang people have relevant props that can help outsiders understand writing."
"Yes, this is the Eye of Providence. With it, you can not only understand the text in the book, but also read it quickly."
Gaia's eyes moved slightly, and then she took out the pendant named 'Eye of Providence' from her robe.
It is said to be a pendant, but it is actually a piece of hard plate with an obverse and reverse triangle. In the pattern of the hard plate, there is a moving eyeball.
But it was obviously just a pattern, but Wang Changle had the illusion that this thing was alive!
"Thanks!"
As soon as Wang Changle took over, he felt an evil gaze staring at him, and the magic value in his body was being consumed little by little.
Gaia saw Wang Changle picking up the Omniscient Eye without any precautions, and immediately understood that the person in front of her was definitely not from their world. Could this Odd really be from Yousi?!
Wang Changle looked down at the pendant in his hand, only to find that the eyes were staring at him.
When their eyes crossed, the eyes blinked at him.
When Wang Changle picked up the book again, he not only understood the words on the book, but also understood its meaning instantly.
Even the pronunciation and grammar of these words were learned by him in an instant. He read a half-human-sized book in less than 3 minutes.
“What a magical prop!”
This terrifying learning ability and learning speed made Wang Changle feel inexplicably frightened.
However, the magic value in his body was consumed faster. He looked down at the Eye of Providence in his hand again, only to see traces of black lines slowly growing around the strange eye.
Wang Changle suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, raised his head and took a sip of moon wine. His magic value immediately recovered a lot.
Then he continued to choose to read the books. With the moon wine, he was confident that he would be able to finish reading these books soon.
"This operation..."
Gaia stood aside blankly, seeing Wang Changle drinking moon wine regardless of consumption in order to quickly read through these useless books, in order to offset the consumption of 'psionic energy'.
At this moment, Gaia had a new understanding of Wang Changle's behavior, such a waste of natural resources, yet so indifferent and skillful.
"Could it be that this person...comes from some unspeakable subordinate?"
Seeing Wang Changle quickly drink up a bottle of moon wine, but showing no signs of being drunk, this also gave Gaia a new understanding of Wang Changle's strength.
Although it is impossible to know the opponent's full strength, this person's brain development and physical fitness are absolutely terrifying, which makes Gaia even more willing to take the initiative to make friends.
Wang Changle didn't care what Gaia thought. He had been in this 'dreamland' for some time.
Through constant reading, he also gained a further understanding of the dreamland, which is the embodied projection of the world's will in the 'waking world'.
Most of the people living in this 'dreamland' are conscious beings, so time in this world passes much faster than in the 'awake world'.
Therefore, Wang Changle cannot use common sense to judge the time difference between here and the 'derivative world'. He must quickly return to the 'derivative world' after gaining enough power in the shortest possible time.
Otherwise, if he only enters the consciousness, once the main task time exceeds, or he returns too late to complete the main task, then he will be obliterated!
Under the influence of moon wine and the all-knowing eye, his understanding of the world of Cthulhu is constantly strengthening, and many previously unproven conjectures have been completed.
Even among these books, he also found records in books and documents similar to the 'Book of Ebon', and there was more than one kind, and some of them may exist in the "awakening world".
Although the world of 'Dreamland' is different, since this information is recorded in the 'History of the Development of the Kunyang People', the information is absolutely true and reliable!
Then in the real world, there may be some leftovers, and he may be able to find one or two.
If this thing really exists, it will definitely be another bonus.
After reading the history of the development of the Kunyang people, Wang Changle quickly sorted out the religious beliefs and culture of the Kunyang people in his mind, and soon he made some new discoveries.
After sorting out the history of the Kunyang people, Wang Changle quickly moved to the middle level and began to search for rubbings of relics related to religious culture.
The religious beliefs of the Kunyang people are complex, ranging from Shabu-Nicholas to Tsatogua. It can be said that the beliefs are different at different stages.
Therefore, Kunyang people also have many related religious documents and rubbings.
With the blessing of the omniscient eye and moon wine, Wang Changle quickly found the clues he needed in this large amount of documents.
Although the beliefs of the Kunyang people are complex, their cultural and religious documents are also very complicated.
But it has to be said that their records are very detailed, especially regarding the exploration of the ruins of the gods.
"Gaia, do you know where the Snake Valley recorded in the 'Biography of Duroges' is?"
Wang Changle held a metal rubbing, which recorded many things in the Womi people's writing about the period when the Womi people believed in 'Yig'.
"I know, I know, but that place..."
Gaia was a little hesitant, and even the telepathic thought waves were intermittent. It was obvious that the "Snake Valley" mentioned by Wang Changle was an extremely dangerous place.
"Take me there, and I'll give you this half bottle of moon wine!"
Wang Changle, who has a deep understanding of historical documents, naturally understood that it was a sacred place in the hearts of the Womi people and a forbidden place for the Kunyang people.
"Okay, but let's agree first that I will only lead the way."
Gaia looked at the wine gourd swinging in Wang Changle's hand and agreed without thinking. The wine in this half gourd could help him spend a lot of boring time.
Seeing Wang Changle nodding in agreement, Gaia also took the Eye of Providence from the opponent's hand. The hard plate was completely covered with black lines, and the eyes were completely closed.
"What a terrifying psychic reserve!"
Gaia, who muttered something secretly, led Wang Changle quickly towards the direction of the wasteland.
Chapter completed!
