And in the subsequent exploration, the traps Fang Xiaoyue encountered became more and more powerful, and gradually gained extraordinary power.
For example, before reaching an iron gate, he resisted a bolt of lightning that appeared out of thin air.
If it weren't for this time, his physical attributes far exceeded that of ordinary humans, he would probably have been struck to death by lightning in just one moment.
But after pushing open the iron door with a large number of strange patterns engraved on it, he found himself in a study room.
There are thousands of books on the bookshelves here.
This made Fang Xiaoyue's eyes shine a little.
You must know that in this plane, the inheritance of civilization relies more on word of mouth. Most city-states do not have libraries, including Bihu City-state.
Only a few large city-states could have libraries.
And now, a library is found here, which means that Fang Xiaoyue may obtain some knowledge in this plane here.
This is actually the case.
He took out a parchment book and looked at the cover.
"The Oasis I Have Visited".
Fang Xiaoyue opened it and saw that it was a geography and travel book.
It is an experience written by a businessman named Tabakis, which introduces in detail the more than ten oasis city-states he has visited, including the geographical location of these oasis city-states, small oases along the way, and some in the desert.
The location of water sources, as well as the cultural features, economic conditions of these city-states, and a series of other conditions.
This book is very good!
Fang Xiaoyue's heart moved, and then she inhaled and blew the dust off a chair, then sat down and started reading slowly from the first page.
I have to say that this book does contain a lot of knowledge, including even the situation of Bihu City State.
From this book, Fang Xiaoyue learned about the conditions of more than ten oasis city-states, including Bihu City-state, and even saw some secrets about the royal families of the city-states.
For example, there is a very strange phenomenon in the royal family of Bihu City State. It is said that the princesses in this royal family will marry more than three husbands in their lifetime.
And the husbands who marry them will die in less than three years.
The book calls this phenomenon the royal curse.
Of course, the author of this book is just a businessman after all, so he doesn't know many royal stories, and they are all relatively crude.
While Fang Xiaoyue was immersed in the ocean of knowledge, Bihu City became noisy as the sun rose.
When the noble King of Bihu City State learned that all the prisoners in the prison had escaped, he was furious and immediately sent out all his guards to search for the escaped prisoners from house to house.
Obviously, many prisoners who fled in haste were captured.
No way, some of them were caught because they owed debts to the royal family and could not repay them, some offended His Majesty the King, and some violated the laws of the Bihu City State.
In short, the soldiers of the guard all know where these prisoners live. In a city-state like this, a group of fugitives who have no money to stay in an inn will attract attention if they forcefully break into a private house.
Therefore, most of the fugitives fled back to their homes immediately and were quickly captured.
However, after the royal guards counted the captured prisoners, they discovered that several prisoners had not been captured.
After reporting the matter, His Majesty the King discovered that Arad, who had been deceived by his own princess into taking away the bronze oil lamp, had escaped!
"He must be captured!"
His Majesty the King sent a royal mage to take charge of the matter.
After all, compared to the royal guards who only use force and are like a group of headless flies running around in the Green Lake City-state, the wisdom and ability of the royal mage are more suitable for catching a fugitive who has disappeared without a trace.
After all, the spells mastered by royal mages often have some magical effects.
Of course, Fang Xiaoyue didn't know at all at this time that several royal mages who had accepted the king's order were leading a group of guards to search for the traces he left behind.
He had already spent a lot of time reading books. In two days, he had read through all the parchments.
More than three thousand books may seem like a lot, but in fact these books are all parchment books, and each page of a parchment book is very thick compared to paper books.
Therefore, the actual amount of written records in more than 3,000 parchment books is only equivalent to hundreds of paper books.
In other words, he can read more than 50 paper books every day.
This speed is not too fast for him, but it is not too slow either. After all, for him, his powerful intellectual attributes allow him to flip through books faster, but he also needs to absorb the knowledge in these books bit by bit.
.
After reading these parchments, he had a deeper understanding of some situations in this plane.
For example, this plane not only has the feudal rule model of the royal family, but also business alliance city-states governed by merchants!
In terms of strength, such a business alliance is actually larger than the royal family.
Often a business alliance has at least a dozen small and medium-sized oases as the basis for its rule.
There is no doubt that such strength is far greater than a single oasis ruled by many royal families. After all, as far as the oasis city-states introduced in these books are concerned, most royal families only rule one oasis, while a few royal families rule two.
Even three or four oases, but this is the limit of the royal family.
After all, compared to business alliances, the royal family's way of ruling is more limited and introverted.
The business alliance is more dynamic and economically stronger due to the continuous business transactions between oases.
However, because merchants were less willing to start wars than the royal family, thus affecting commercial activities, only these business alliances and the oases ruled by the major royal families could live in peace.
But this does not mean that the commercial alliance is weaker than the royal family in terms of military strength.
After all, the Business Alliance has money, and having money means that it can recruit stronger soldiers, equip the soldiers with better weapons and armor, and even ask mages to engrave some spell runes on the soldiers.
As for legendary artifacts like bronze oil lamps, it's hard to say that those business alliances don't have them, but due to various restrictions, they can't use them like Arad.
Well, this is the most crucial knowledge Fang Xiaoyue got from these parchments.
The reason is simple. Making a wish on a legendary divine object like a bronze oil lamp is actually a double-edged sword.
If you just wish for some food like Arad, a gold mountain would be fine.
But if you make a wish to a bronze oil lamp, such as immortality or any other wish that is beyond the common sense of the world, then the result of your wish may be beyond your expectation.
