Chapter 386: The Alienation of the World?

A week isn't too long.

Ronald read a book every morning, went to work in the afternoon, and occasionally found time to go to the countess for some intellectual discussions, and time passed in peace.

And so, the time agreed with the monastic monks came.

At eight o'clock in the morning, I arrived at the Three Spirits Monastery and walked into the courtyard, where the old man from Ronald's first visit greeted him.

By the way, this old friar's name is Andrei.

Through this week's contact, Ronald also found out the situation of several monks in the monastery

Of the six monks, four male monks were middle-aged and elderly people with an average age of about 60 or 70 years, while two female monks were also older and the only one was young.

An old man named Andrei came to Ronald.

The expression on his face is still the same as he has always been unfazed:

"Mr. Ronald, the application you submitted earlier has been decided."

β€œ......”

Ronald knew that Andre had always maintained such an expression, so he nodded indifferently and responded:

"And Brother Andrew, how did this matter turn out?"

"You've got permission." The old monk opened his mouth with news that made Ronald quite happy. But then, AndrΓ© began to shift his gaze to the library, and then continued in a non-exhaustive tone, "But these books are of great importance, even if they are open to you, please finish reading them as soon as possible today, and then we will continue to seal them." ”

"It's a bit presumptuous, but we want what you see in it to just keep in mind, and it's better not to spread it out to the outside world."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

I'm afraid I've come to the right place this time.

Listening to the old monk's words, Ronald immediately had a premonition in his heart.

This religious organization, which has been passed down from the Dark Ages to the present day without any interruption, has been so formally hidden within it that it is absolutely true that it has access to the truth of that bygone era.

Because he was really excited, Ronald even clenched his fists at the moment and followed Andre to the library almost inseparably.

So the old monk led the two of them into the entrance of the library together.

This time, however, instead of climbing the stairs, they went straight to the fireplace at the far left end of the long passageway.

The flame that is not strong is still burning.

I saw the old monk squat down in front of the fireplace, and then calmly stretched out his right hand and leaned into the flames.

Saint-white magic emerged, immediately covering Andrei's bony fingertips.

Ronald saw it very clearly.

Under the protection of this special magic, the old man pushed away the hot ashes in the fireplace, and then reached out and grabbed something that looked like a handle hidden in the fireplace.

Click-

There was a soft thud, and the sound of a writhing machine came from the fireplace, and quickly drove to the outside.

The sound of mechanical movement spread through the walls, and traces of magical distortion began to appear on the walls beside the two of them.

A slightly different technique similar to the Bureau's wall concealment technique was activated, and finally a crack opened in the wall next to it, revealing a dimly lit enclosed environment.

At the same time, the old friar, who had raised his body again, took the candlestick from the side and put it into the fireplace to light it, and then handed it to Ronald:

"Mr. Ronald, please take care of the precious books inside."

"It's quite rare for the church to allow outsiders like you to read it, and I hope you will cherish it very much."

Ronald nodded solemnly in response:

"I see, I'll pay attention."

Taking the candlestick handed by the old man, Ronald turned and walked into the passage.

He could hear the old man's breathing behind him stay where he was, just standing at the entrance of the passage, and the monk did not follow Ronald in.

It was Andrei who was not interested in the books here.

Or are there church insiders who have high restrictions on entering this place to read books......

What do you want to do with this?

Such an idea came to his mind, but Ronald quickly shook his head to dispel it.

The time of day is not long, but it is not short.

He must hurry up and try to gather useful information here with the utmost efficiency.

The light of the candlestick flame in his hand was not so dazzling.

However, with Ronald's excellent eyesight, he can still see all the books in this location very clearly in this environment.

Maybe it's called a book collection, and it's a bit less rigorous......

In this 20-meter-long, underpass-like secret library, a large number of wooden hard-shell boxes are arranged on the shelves, and the surface of the bookshelves and wooden boxes does not even have labels.

"Tsk......"

Smacking his lips, Ronald picked a few boxes at random and took them down.

Blowing away the dust and opening the locks, most of them contained scattered pages, manuscripts, or manuscripts of the original records, and there were very few books in the books.

However, it is clear from the color of the pages on which the words are recorded that they have a long history.

"That's it!"

Undoubtedly!

This must be what Ronald has been looking for, a transcript of the pre-Dark Ages!

And this time it is different from the personal biography in the [Book Research Society], or the details that are revealed from a few words in the [Nine Rings Secret Society].

Take these wooden boxes that Ronald opened in his hand, for example.

Their content is set in the context of that bygone era, which is completely different from the era in which Ronald is now.

Strange words record strange words.

With the blessing of language literacy, Ronald did not hesitate to read the words in his hand:

"The demon wolves of the Long Moon Forest suddenly broke out of the barrier set up by those spellcasters, and even an entire village of residents around them was slaughtered, and only a few people fled to deliver the news.

In this case, we can only send the Expeditionary Knights to defeat it, hoping to stop the wrath from the forest.

The goddess is above!

And what did those innocent civilians do wrong?

Heretical gods like Yordani drive such monsters out and take their lives......"

It is roughly recorded in the text.

It is for an incident in which a demon wolf in the forest escaped and injured civilians, and the corresponding handling method after that.

On the surface, it looks unremarkable.

But in the context of this world, the situation is completely different.

Where has the alienation of the world gone?

It is terrible that the monster appeared and even slaughtered the entire village, but there were still many civilians who had fled to spread the news.

If this is the case, the number of Seeds will inevitably exceed the threshold.

Nowadays, the world alienation of the mystical side of the common sense does not appear, and there is not even a text mentioning the relevant issues.

How can this phenomenon be explained?

Frowning, Ronald put the papers back in his hand on the wooden box, and then stuffed them back into the shelf.

He raised his gray pupils and looked at the library more than twenty meters long with a deep gaze.

Can you still not understand?

I've really come to the right place this time!
