The sunlight is not very strong, but it is very dazzling. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Doris, like most of the women waiting in the square, brought a hat that was large for her. The brim of the hat is very large, which can not only block all the sunlight shining on her face, but also cover most of her face at a certain angle. When they were separated from the housekeepers a few days ago, they didn't say anything superfluous to Doris, just blindly reminded them to hide.

The addition of a smaller Doris in the limousine didn't look crowded in the slightest, and the old air circulation system was struggling to bring fresh air to the car. Speeding down the road where there were not many vehicles, the buildings on both sides rushed towards them.

"Let's go to the Imperial Library here, put me down, and then you can find a place to have breakfast, and then go to the hotel that has been decided in advance to rest. The limousine entered the main city at a great speed, and Julien deliberately sped up, not wanting to run into the morning rush hour that every city has. "Everyone is separated from a room, do a rest first, don't rush to contact, and wait until I go back to the hotel to talk about specific things. ”

"Okay, we can also take advantage of this time to sort out the next things that need to be dealt with. Julien responded to Kasia's words, and the limousine passed through the bend blocked by the buildings standing in front of them, and a myriad of buildings clustered like bushes instantly squeezed into their eyes.

There is nothing surprising about it, after seeing the extreme prosperity of Manoma, the only way for the four of them to blink their eyes at this similar architectural style and the same grandeur is to blink their eyes so that their brains can better process the information reflected in their eyes.

Following the agreed process, Kasia got out of the car in front of the Imperial Library. The combination of white marble and anti-corrosion-hardened oak panels presents a common square shape, approaching a height of tens of floors.

Imperial libraries are set up in every bustling district, and as a public building of the state, they are fairly well maintained. The Empire is surprisingly very thoughtful in these things.

Although the door of the Imperial Library in front of him was wide open, it was probably because it was the time of the day for breakfast, and only the lonely Kasia walked in slowly.

A long row of borrowing counters faces the main entrance, flanking the library's actual entrance. Rows of books are already on the shelves. From the outside, you can roughly see the approximate size of this Imperial Library, but when you enter it, you feel as if there is no end to it. Not only are there books on the upper floors, but there are also many relics from this area.

Without going through any formalities, Kasia followed the hints to the Imperial History books, and it took him a few minutes to find what he was looking for.

"The first Knight King of the Empire, Grote Rom, was born in the Mano Kingdom and 、、、 in his " Kasia glanced at the introduction at the beginning and continued to read back.

I read several of the same history books in a row, and found the part that introduces Grote. Although there are some discrepancies in the textual description, the general meaning is the same - the first knight king did not live long, and finally died heroically in the war with the enemy. His wife and children were treated with the best of the Empire, and lived in peace until old age, either due to illness or to natural death. The things written in the books are in a very normal state, and there is no room for refutation. What's more, all history books are the same facts, and no one can refute them.

But that wasn't the answer Kasia wanted. In other words, when the words written in the book are different from what he has in mind, he instinctively doubts the truth of the facts written on it. Closing the book, Kasia looked at the densely arranged bibliography in front of her in a daze.

"Young man, you seem to be interested in the history of the first Knight King. There was an extra voice next to him, old but not declining, very vibrant.

Kasia looked over to see an old man with almost gray hair, resting on the side with a stack of tall books in his hand, dressed in the gray overalls of an Imperial Library employee, with a smile as warm as the morning sun.

"Can you help me hug it, at this age, it's useless to be strong, and my physical strength can't keep up at all. The old man said with a smile, "It seems that I will have to take a few fewer books when I hold books in the future. As he spoke, the old man put back a book according to the number on each book. Although Cassia didn't know what was going on, she walked over and took the first base of books and followed the old man.

"The books here are incomplete, especially on history, and it's hard to have a library that can cover all the history. And although it is said to be history, it is also written by people, and the degree of correctness in it is also a question. The old man said, walking past the rows of bookshelves, and quickly put the books in Kasia's hand back to their original places, "There is a warehouse on the third floor, and there are some books that are too old, or how to say, they can be regarded as waiting for verification. There are a lot of them about history, and the history of the first generation of knight kings that you are interested in also accounts for a lot, whether you are interested in going up and seeing, it can be regarded as thank you for helping me. ”

Nodding his head in thanks, he was led by the old man to the third floor.

It was said to be a warehouse, but in Kasia's eyes, it was more like a place where the old man used to read alone, and there was no such thing as a warehouse that should be quiet and uninhabited. The air was not fresh, and the two of them walked in, and the white ash that had accumulated on the books rushed up like snow smoke from an avalanche, and everything showed the same old feeling as the old man.

"As a small warehouse, I used to read books here when I didn't have much to do. Some of the books I had collected myself were not allowed to be put back home, so they were piled up here. The old man walked over and opened the heavy curtains, then opened the window to let in the air, and the golden sunlight shone in in large bundles, "There are not many young people like you who like to read books anymore. Those aristocrats didn't know, but as far as ordinary people were concerned, it was rare to see young faces in this library that was empty at any time. ”

sighed for a moment, the dust that came from nowhere turned into a living creature in the square sunlight, and was circling and flying there, "Just look, the door will close until twelve o'clock in the evening." Just close the door when you leave, don't tell me. There are a lot of books down there that need to be put back in place, so I won't bother you. ”

The old man smiled and exited the room, leaving Cassia alone in the face of the books that had been silently silent. (To be continued.) )
