Extraordinary Mechanical City

Chapter 58: Central Library

Views:

Language and writing, legend has it, are abilities imparted to humans by the gods.

The original words were not only visible graphics, but also contained "meaning" and "knowledge". Only prophets could understand God's will.

Later, in order to allow ordinary people to understand the oracle, the prophet created advanced writing and passed it on to human wise men.

The wise man then simplifies the words and explains them, creating the most simple words layer by layer.

... .

The legend of "Old Munkel" is a branch of the ancient Devil's language, which belongs to an advanced language family passed down to human prophets by the devil.

If the "Secret Scroll" is a genetic cultivation method, then the translation must be more careful.

A slight difference can make a huge difference, and the machine translation may not necessarily match the context of the original text.

Just like in English in the previous life, the literal translation of the word "WTF" is "Mygrass", but in fact it should be "WTF" which is more appropriate. (Don’t complain about the author’s English proficiency)

It's like classical Chinese... Who can guarantee that they will understand the exact meaning that the ancients wanted to express

Each word is translated correctly, but the meaning is completely different.

The "intelligent brain" is very powerful, but it is not omnipotent. But if there is such a person who is proficient in "Munkel's ancient language", once the two translations are matched, the effect will be completely different.

... .

Right in front of you is an excellent opportunity to crack the "secret volume".

But if Ren gave up on this barbarian girl, it meant that he might give up on the accuracy of the contents on the secret volume.

Even if "Zhi Nao" translates the contents of the ancient secret scroll in the future, he cannot guarantee that there will be no problems.

If it is as Baron Morin guessed, it is a "gene source power cultivation method." Zhinao has translated a technique that may have misstatements. He dares to practice it himself? I'm afraid I don't want to go crazy.

Renn stared blankly at the gradually drying words on the wall, but he was quickly weighing the pros and cons in his mind: "Now that those people haven't come to the door, it means they have lost the ability to accurately locate. It seems that before I The judgment of dispelling the magic mark is correct. Even if those people have the ability to wipe out the entire "Glory City" hotels and B&Bs, it will still take a long time. With luck, it will definitely be no problem to hide for ten days and a half. ..."

If he could really buy ten days and a half, it would be enough for him to extract enough text content from this barbarian girl!

By then, Uncle Sam and the others will be back, and all troubles will be solved.

Thinking of this, Ren's eyes showed a trace of determination: "You can try this risk! If there is danger, you can throw it away at any time!"

After making a decision, he looked at the expectant barbarian girl next to him, and instantly thought of a plan in his mind.

"wait for me here!"

Ren gestured to her and jumped out of the window again. After deliberately waiting for a long time, I changed into women's clothes and went to the front desk, and then another vacant room was opened next door!

The cunning rabbit has three caves. If someone really comes to the door, this will give him enough time to escape.

... .

After making another improvised bomb in the next room, Renn took the barbarian girl to another room.

Now even if someone finds the room downstairs, and then due to some mistakes that Ren was not aware of, he is found in the room upstairs.

This third room also gave him enough time to react.

Moreover, Renne would frequently check out and check out rooms in the past few days, making it impossible to determine their check-in time.

Although this will cost a lot of money, it is a necessary last resort.

After doing all this, Renn changed the barbarian girl into normal hunter equipment, including a musket and long-sleeved leather pants, which covered her iconic brown skin and totem.

Then, he pulled the savage girl out of the door.

If Ren wants to get the "Munkel language" out of her, the two of them must first be able to communicate normally.

Therefore, first he must learn this barbarian language!

... .

Whether it is the Omar Empire or the Sid Empire, knowledge and books are always luxury areas that only nobles can access.

For the ruling class, the ignorance of the people is more conducive to stabilizing their class.

The "City of Glory" is known as the City of Freedom, and knowledge is open to everyone.

[Great Polymath] Master Cavo is known as the most knowledgeable being in mankind, with extraordinary foresight and vision. When he founded the city, he immediately planned a library that could be called a palace of art.

There is a beautiful and huge glass building in the Fourth City District, which is the "Central Library" of Glory City.

The total number of books and ancient scrolls in the library exceeds 100 million. This is the largest library that cannot be matched by the two imperial royal libraries of Omar and Sid.

Here are collections of ancient scrolls, incomplete documents, stone tablets of various chronological civilizations collected by wilderness hunters from the wilderness... all ancient artifacts with written records.

Recently, the Savage Tribe was discovered in the "Forest of Ashes", and the hunters also brought back a large amount of written materials. As long as they are valuable written materials, they can be exchanged for contribution points from the librarian.

If you want to find the most complete information on "Monkel script" and barbarian language in Rennes, the Central Library is the best place to go.

Although the barbarian lady didn't understand what Ren wanted to do, she let him pull her to the glass pyramid library, which was as beautiful as a diamond and sparkled under her eyes.

... .

The interior of the Central Library is not much different from the large library in Renn's previous life. Walking in is like walking into a sea of books. As far as the eye can see, there are densely packed bookshelves several floors high. All kinds of thick gold-gilded classics gave off a strong aura of knowledge.

The difference is that here there are exquisite magic crystal chandeliers, various complex magic patterns engraved on the wooden bookshelves, there are also magic doors like water curtains and some weird magic exhibits... It seems that this place is more magical. It's like a museum of magical civilization.

The all-glass ceiling also gives the library plenty of lighting, which is simple, mysterious and full of beauty.

This is one of the most shocking libraries Renne has ever seen.

The first floor of the library is the basic literature area. This is a place where everyone can borrow books for free. It contains some entry-level knowledge on history, literature, science, etc.

The library also has a comfortable reading area with mahogany seats, but there are not many people.

Except for the permanent residents of the city, few outsiders will spend time here. After all, they have to spend 10,000 liso in "asylum fees" every day. The hunters would rather spend the money on the bellies of the girls in the custom tavern than spend it here.

Renn really wanted to read those historical and cultural books and understand what this mysterious world was like.

But he came here with a purpose today. Learning the barbarian language was a top priority, and he couldn't afford to spend extra time reading.

After glancing at the library's guide map, he instantly gave up the idea of finding documents in this maze-like complex library on his own.

He directly went to the library administrator and asked: "Hello, I would like to ask where can I see the recently discovered ancient books on the civilization of the barbarian tribe?"

The administrator knew the library well and said without raising his head: "Area C on the second floor, where a large number of barbarian documents have recently been collected. However, the second floor is a paid area. If you want to stay there for a day, you can You have to spend some contribution points.”

"OK, thanks."

Ren nodded.

It is reasonable to pay to access valuable knowledge.

He glanced at the guide map before, and it seemed that the library had a third floor, where there were even various precious magic books, as well as some advanced knowledge on machinery, magic potions, and extraordinary things.

Renn feels that this library is really full of "treasures".

Knowledge is priceless, no matter where in the world.

But human lifespan is limited after all. For ordinary people, just to read the books on this floor, probably several lifetimes are not enough. Few people waste time on unnecessary knowledge reserves. Doctors should learn medicine, mages should learn magic, and warriors should be in the training ground.

Especially for hunters who risk their lives for wealth, the time wasted by reading a few books would be better spent training to increase their combat effectiveness.

But in Renn's eyes, this library is a place of treasures waiting to be discovered.

Because... he has a "smart brain"!
