The sun's rays are not very strong, but they are very dazzling to the eyes.
Doris, like most of the women waiting in the square, wore a hat that was too big for her. The brim of the hat was very large, which not only blocked all the sunlight shining on her face, but also shielded her from a certain amount of sunlight.
The angle covered most of her face. When they separated from the housekeepers a few days ago, they didn't say anything unnecessary to Doris, they just reminded her to hide.
The addition of the smaller Doris in the limo did not seem crowded at all. The old air circulation system was struggling to deliver fresh air to the car. It was driving quickly on a road with not many vehicles.
, the buildings on both sides rushed toward them.
"First go to the Imperial Library here, drop me off, then you can find a place to have breakfast, and then go to the hotel that you have decided on in advance to rest." The limo drove at an extremely fast speed.
Entering the main city, Julien deliberately speeded up. He didn't want to run into the morning rush hour that every city has. "Everyone should separate in a room and rest first. Don't rush to contact me. Wait until I get back to the hotel.
We’ll talk about the specifics later.”
"Okay, we can take advantage of this time to sort out what we need to deal with next." Julien responded to Cassia's words from the side, and the limo passed through the curve blocked by the buildings standing in front of it, and it was like a bush.
Countless buildings clustered together instantly crowded into their eyes.
There is no surprising feeling. After seeing the extreme prosperity of Manoma, facing this similar architectural style and the same grand momentum, the four people's reaction was to blink more so that their brains could better understand.
Good at processing the information mapped in the eyes.
Following the agreed process, Cassia got off the car in front of the Imperial Library. The building is a combination of white marble and oak boards that have been treated with antiseptic hardening. The entire layout presents a common square shape and is close to dozens of floors in height.
Imperial libraries will be set up in every prosperous area. As public buildings of the country, they are well maintained. The empire is surprisingly very considerate of these things.
Although the door of the Imperial Library in front of me was already wide open, maybe because it was the time of day for breakfast, only the lonely Cassia walked in slowly.
A long row of borrowing processing counters is directly opposite the door, and on both sides is the real entrance to the library. Here you can already see rows of books of all kinds placed on the shelves. You can also roughly see the Imperial Library Building outside.
The general area of the museum is about the size of the museum, but when you enter it, you feel that there seems to be no end inside. Not only are there books, there are also many cultural relics preserved in this area on the upper floors.
There was no need to go through any formalities. Cassia followed the prompts and went to the imperial history books. It took a few minutes to find what she needed.
"Groth Rom, the first generation of knight king of the empire, was born in the Kingdom of Mano. During his..." Cassia glanced at the introduction at the beginning and continued to read.
I read several identical history books and found the part introducing Grote. Although there were some discrepancies in the narrative, the general meaning was the same - the first generation of Knight King did not live long.
In the end, he died heroically in the war with the enemy. His wife and children received the best treatment from the empire, and lived a peaceful life until his old age, or suffered from diseases, or died of natural causes. Everything recorded in the books was in a very normal state, without any trace of it.
There is room for refutation. What’s more, the facts are the same in all history books, and there is no room for anyone to refute.
But this is not the answer Cassia wants. In other words, once the words recorded in the book are different from what he is thinking in his head, he will instinctively doubt the authenticity of the facts written above. Close the book,
Cassia looked at the densely arranged books in front of her in a daze.
"Young man, you seem to be very interested in the history of the first generation of King of Knights." There was a voice next to him, old but not declining, very lively.
Cassia looked over and saw an old man with almost white hair, resting on one side with a tall stack of books in his hands. He was wearing gray Imperial Library employee work clothes, with a warm smile on his face that was as warm as the morning sun. "Can you give me a hug? At this age, there is no use trying to hold on. My body strength can't keep up at all." The old man said with a smile, "It seems that I will have to hold a few fewer books when I hold them in the future.
We are old, but our hearts are still the same as before." As he said, the old man put back a book according to the number on each book. Although Cassia didn't know what happened yet, she also
He walked over, took the first base of books, and followed the old man.
"The relevant books placed here are incomplete, especially about history. It is difficult to have a library that covers all history. And although it is history, it is also written by people. How accurate is it?
Whether it is or not is also a question." The old man said, walking through the rows of bookshelves, and quickly put the books in Cassia's hands back to their original positions. "There is a warehouse on the third floor, and there are some too many books piled up there.
It's too old, or how to say, it can be regarded as a book that needs to be verified. A lot of it is about history. The history of the first generation of Knight King that you are interested in also accounts for a lot. Are you interested?
Go up and have a look, it's a thank you for helping me."
Nodding to express thanks, the old man led him to the third floor.
It was said to be a warehouse, but in Cassia's eyes it was more like a place where the old man used to read alone. It didn't have the quiet and deserted appearance that a warehouse should have. The air was not fresh, and the two of them walked
When you go in, the white ash accumulated on the books rushes up like the snow smoke in an avalanche, and everything shows the same old feeling as the old man.
"As a small warehouse, I used to read here when I had nothing to do. Some of the books I collected were not allowed to be returned home, so they were piled here." The old man walked over and opened the heavy curtains, and then opened the
The windows were open to the air, and large beams of golden sunlight came in. "There are not many young people like you who like to read. Those nobles don't know, but as far as ordinary people are concerned, this library that is always empty is
, it’s rare to see young faces.”
After sighing, the dust that I don’t know where came from turned into small living animals in the square sunlight, and was circling and flying there, "Just watch, the door will be closed until twelve o'clock in the evening. Tighten the door when you leave.
That’s it, you don’t need to tell me. There are still a lot of books down there that need to be put back into place, so I won’t bother you.”
The old man smiled and exited the room, leaving Cassia alone facing the silent books there, speechless.
