When you open the cover, the first thing you see is the title page, which is an introduction to the author of the book, Collins Felix.
Collins Felix is a traveler who has no fixed location all year round. He has been to the Kingdom of Fire, the Gem Kingdom and the Crimson Kingdom, and even the ice fields outside the four kingdoms that are always covered with ice and snow.
Scroll back and you will find the other person’s general guesses about the world.
From the perspective of the other party, the world is an irregular flat block, and the sun is a luminous sphere rotating around this irregular flat block. When the sun appears on the front side of the flat shape, it is day. When the sun appears on the back of the flat shape, it is night.
The end of the ice field outside the four kingdoms is the end of the world. If someone can reach the end of the ice field, they can see the end of the world.
Seeing this, Gray smiled in his heart and looked down without paying much attention.
Although this world possesses extraordinary power, its understanding of the world is not as good as in the previous life. After all, the aerospace technology in the previous life has been able to visit planets in the solar system except the earth. In the process, it was completely confirmed that the earth is spherical.
What follows is the evidence and observations the other party has found to prove their flat-Earth theory.
I once organized a team of powerful blood warriors and prepared to go to the end of the ice field. They wanted to verify the hypothesis that the end of the ice field was the end of the world. However, they encountered many blood beast attacks along the way and suffered heavy casualties. In the end, they only Can give up.
Then he observed the ships going away on Bishui Lake, the largest lake in the Kingdom of Flame, and found that as the distance increased, the hull and masts in the line of sight would gradually shrink, and eventually become smaller and smaller, just like a model ship. In the end, the hull and masts would appear simultaneously. Disappeared from sight.
"Disappear at the same time? This, this... is not scientific?!"
Seeing this, Gray's indifference disappeared, his eyes widened, and he almost blurted out, but luckily he held it back and did not disturb Caroline who was also reading in the library.
The observation made by Collins Felix was also made by someone in the previous life, but the result of the other person's observation was that the hull disappeared first, and the mast disappeared last. Obviously, it was completely different from the result of Collins Felix's observation.
"Is there something wrong with the observation, or is this really the case?"
Gray was shocked and confused.
If there was just something wrong with Collins Felix's observations, or if he deliberately falsified it to prove the flat earth theory, then the round earth theory of the previous life could still be applicable in this world.
And if there is no problem with the other party's observation results, and there is no deliberate falsification, then it remains to be discussed whether the round earth theory of the previous life can be used in this world.
Continuing to read back, Gray became serious this time. However, after reading the entire book, Gray never found any evidence that could prove the flat earth theory more than the previous "observations".
Gray raised his eyebrows slightly, then quickly relaxed them and put "A Round Earth and a Balance" back on the bookshelf.
Whether the world is round or flat actually doesn't mean much to him now. The most important thing for him now is to enhance his ability to protect himself. Now he is seriously insecure.
If you want to enhance your self-protection ability, it is obviously very necessary to understand what kind of transformation this transformation is in yourself.
In addition, through the books he had just read, he already had a rough understanding of the history of the mainland. Thinking of this, he walked to the second row of bookshelves and began to look for books on blood magic.
"A Summary of Common Blood Beasts" is a book that introduces common blood beasts. The book lists more than 100 kinds of common blood beasts. Each one is equipped with pictures and text descriptions, allowing readers to understand the appearance and abilities of blood beasts. All have a clearer understanding.
Among them is a description of the wind wolf. This is a blood beast with cyan hair, similar in appearance to an ordinary wolf, and the adult body can spit wind blades from its mouth.
The juvenile body already has the strength of a low-level blood warrior, and the strength of the adult body is comparable to that of a fierce blood warrior. The nominal father of this body, Viscount Fergus, can breathe out wind blades. "Wolf" has been practiced to the extreme.
"The Origin of Species", a book about the origin of blood beasts.
The book believes that any kind of blood beast, if the origin of its bloodline is traced, can be traced back to a certain high-level blood beast, and some can even be traced back to legendary holy beasts or even divine beasts.
The book explains this using the shadow insect as an example.
The shadow bugs can trace back to the more powerful shadow bugs, the shadow bugs can trace back to the more powerful dark bugs, the shadow bugs can trace back to the shadow bugs, and the shadow bugs can trace back to the source of their bloodline, and finally they can Traced back to Hidden Butterfly.
This is a terrifying king-level blood beast with the ability to become invisible. Its strength is comparable to that of a king-blooded warrior. Because of its special invisibility ability, ordinary king-blooded warriors are no match for it.
Once, it appeared in the Purple Moon Kingdom. The Richardson royal family had revealed all its secrets, and even three king-blooded warriors failed to keep it behind.
The opponent's invisibility ability is too difficult to guard against. Fighting with it is completely blind, and you have no idea where the enemy is.
The book is not too thick, only a few dozen pages, and the font is large. Gray can easily read the entire book.
Gray couldn't help but think as he closed the book and put it back on the bookshelf.
"If this theory of the origin of the bloodline is correct, the blood method "Wolf of Wind" may have a follow-up practice blood method. No, I'm afraid it can no longer be called "Wolf of Wind", but some other blood method. ”
"The Fergus family should also be able to master the subsequent blood training."
Wind Wolf's adult physical strength can reach the level of a ferocious warrior. This is probably the limit of the blood method "Wind Wolf". If you want to make progress in the future, you can obviously only practice related deeper blood methods.
The father of this body, Viscount Fergus, has been a ferocious warrior for many years, and he still insists on practicing after all these years. Obviously, what the other party is practicing is definitely not the "Wolf of the Wind" that has no improved effect, but should be the "Wolf of the Wind" that has been updated since then. High-level blood magic.
"Return to the Ancestors of Blood Beasts" is a book that records examples of blood beasts witnessed in history that evolved and transformed into other species. The existence of such examples proves that there is indeed a blood connection between different types of blood beasts.
"The Encyclopedia of Blood Magic" is a book that records the blood magic that has appeared in the four kingdoms. It has detailed descriptions of what types of blood magic can be practiced, and what kind of performance and abilities they will have.
"Kingdom Strong" is a book that records the lives and deeds of king-level blood warriors who have appeared in the four kingdoms.
…
Gray searched one book after another, hoping to find books related to his current physical "change". However, after searching the entire row of bookshelves, he could not find books related to his current situation. corresponding description.
There are hundreds of books, many of which are about blood beasts, and some are specifically about investigating the habits of a certain kind of blood beast. There are only less than ten books on the practice of blood magic. Gray looked through them one by one. However, I haven't found any description related to the "changes" in my body.
Instead, I saw the term "transformation period" in a book that recorded the habits of blood beasts.
This refers to a special period between the growth and adulthood of blood beasts.
During this period, although the blood beast is still in the growth stage, it is about to become an adult. Its body grows at the fastest speed, its demand for various nutrients has also become extremely high, and it has a strong desire to eat.
This phenomenon is somewhat similar to the changes that occurred in Gray. The only difference is that Gray is a real human being, while this phenomenon occurs in the blood beast.
However, his intuition told Gray that the changes that had occurred in his body should be closely related to the "transformation period" of the blood beast, or at least have some special connection.
But the specific connection is unknown, after all, the amount of information he currently has is too little.
After flipping through hundreds of books, even if it was a cursory flip, some of them were skipped just by looking at the titles, and the time was already close to noon.
Gray was about to leave the library when he saw Caroline, whose long brown hair was slightly curled and hanging down her head, also stood up from the armchair, also planning to leave the library.
"Let's go to the restaurant together!"
After glancing at Gray, Caroline extended an invitation to Gray.
"Okay, Sister Caroline."
Facing Caroline's invitation, Gray was slightly stunned, but he immediately reacted and nodded in agreement.
Through today's contact, he felt that Caroline was relatively easy to get along with, at least easier to get along with than Mrs. Milan and Bernal, who seemed "enthusiastic", and Ellis, who had obvious contempt on his face.
The other party's attitude toward him was more like a stranger's, with no excessive "enthusiasm" and no outward hostility.
Of course, knowing the person but not the heart, it is impossible for Gray to completely relax his vigilance against the opponent just by relying on this little contact. So far, the mastermind behind the assassin has not been found.
After launching the assassination against Gray, the man behind the scenes seemed to have disappeared, and there was no more movement. However, Gray knew that the other party had definitely not given up, but was definitely waiting for the opportunity to strike.
However, Gray felt that it was not very likely that Caroline was the mastermind behind the incident, because he had no conflict of interest with Caroline.
As a woman, Caroline will definitely marry outside the family in the future. Whether Gray appears or not, the Fergus family's property has little to do with her.
Although there is also talk of recruiting a son-in-law in this world, and there are even women who inherit the title, but with Bernal and Ellis, the possibility of Viscount Fergus recruiting a son-in-law is not very high.
There is no conflict of interest, and of course there is no benefit. This should be the reason why Caroline treats him indifferently.
