Old Kane was a little surprised to hear that a young man would say that.
But he probably couldn’t remember how long he had lived, nor how many accidents he had seen, so he just smiled calmly:
"Do you know how many scholars there are in the Great Library?"
Su Wen shrugged, and after having a drink with the old sage, he smiled and said:
"Of course I don't know.
My understanding of these deeply hidden organizations in the real world is actually only superficial.
After all, I am just a deacon from the Christopher family."
Old Kane didn't taste the lager.
He had already passed the time when he could try those things. He just looked at the stars in the sky and said slowly:
“The Great Library houses as many scholars as there are stars in the sky.”
The old sage sat on a wooden chair and looked at the evening sky in the distance that had been replaced by the bright starry sky:
"But the remaining records of civilization may be many times more than the number of existing scholars.
After the demise of many civilizations, the records of their civilizations were completed by large libraries.
in other words,
From the perspective of current civilization, there are likely to be records of those bygone civilizations under certain uninhabited planets.”
The old gentleman took a cup of fruit tea and took a slow sip, then turned the topic to Su Wen:
"And you, boy,
Do you think I believe you are just a deacon?
Even though I, the old man, am not that concerned about the current social situation, I still know that the current Grand Duke Christopher, Miss Angelia, is very outstanding.
But I still hope to invite outstanding young people like you to join the Great Library."
In this regard,
Su Wen couldn't help but laugh:
"I seem to have heard this invitation mentioned by many people."
Hear him say that.
Old Kane couldn't help but boasted and stared:
"hehe.
Those old guys all pretend to be academics, and they have to push back and forth when they accept a student.
I didn’t expect that once I encounter a good seedling, I won’t be as well-educated as me.”
Hearing the old sage slandering other great scholars in the big library, Su Wen felt a little uncomfortable. So he cleverly avoided the topic and raised his own questions:
"Since the Great Library preserves so much information, why not choose to promote the progress of civilization?"
Old Kane sighed:
"What we retain is the fire.
That is a topic that can only be discussed after all the light is extinguished and when the centenary Great Sage Council opens.
However, there are many factions in the Great Library now.
For example, someone who is willing to use the border as a [sentinel] to extend civilization.
There are those [Relic Scholars] who claim to be [Masquerade] and their behavior is more wanton.
There are [Tower Scholars] who focus on research, and there are even many, many [Academic Scholars from the Other Side] like the Congolese [Sea of Trees] or Lorenz Riel in the Pacific region.
certainly,
There are also [Keepers of Secrets] just like us old guys, and even more stubborn [Silent Ones].
The Great Library never limits what its people choose to do or not do.
But there is only one iron rule that must be obeyed:
When you interfere too deeply with the progress of civilization, you become part of history."
The old sage looked at the venue.
At this moment, the entire celebration scene is filled with an atmosphere that is both dreamy and real, as if people are really in that hopeful future.
And all this,
It all started with the opening scene of the fall of the star ring,
It is like a key that completely opens the door to a different future in the Third Age.
At this time, night has completely fallen, and the sky has gradually become darker. Against this dark background, the endless stars appear brighter and dazzling.
The deep sky is like an endless tapestry, spread over the head of the world.
The stars are like countless scattered diamonds, shining with soft and mysterious light. They flow slowly across the sky, like a quiet Milky Way, stretching across the boundless darkness.
Everything is so peaceful and solemn, as if time has frozen at this moment.
"We are making history all the time,
Mr. Kane, shouldn't we enjoy this scene?"
The handsome scholar smiled gently:
"Maybe it's this last rule that prevents me from joining the Great Library.
Although I also long for a group of scholars to discuss the fourth-dimensional space presentation or escape rules of black holes in a library at the border of the universe or a small hotel in the asteroid belt.
But I also know:
Humanity is not alone, but neither is it safe."
Su Wen raised his glass and toasted to the distant sky, then drank it all in one gulp.
"Besides, I probably don't have much time to dwell on the past.
so,
I would rather give the past a perfect ending.
Only in this way.
Only then can I face the future that I need to face next.”
He knew this party was more than just a celebration.
They are a story that is shining silently, one that is ancient, distant, but extremely true.
And in this moment of silence, the laughter and laughter of countless people seemed to have crossed the barriers of time and space and quietly blended into the starry sky.
Su Wen didn't say anything more, he just sat in the corner and silently recorded everything.
He listened to the laughter, cheers, and conversations, like light notes jumping and floating in the night sky, and finally blended into the boundless silence.
And at this moment,
Boyle, who took off his Eternal Dawn standard spacesuit and put on his usual clothes, also walked to the center of the celebration stage.
As other lights go out,
There was only a bright beam of light shining on her location,
"Everyone.
At this time, I would like to say a few words."
The former fleet commander and current rebel manager coughed twice.
Then she slowly said after feeling that almost everyone's eyes were on her position:
"From getting rid of the death threat of mass extinction virus infection, to the destruction of the Eternal Dawn base.
From the time Dawn 5 flew toward the ring with hope, to when the wreckage of the ring turned into meteors in the sky.
All of this may mean that we will no longer be shrouded in the shadow of death.
We will bravely move towards a future full of hope.
And all these achievements may be attributed to our heroes:
Mr. Kevin!”
Immediately afterwards, Old Black Bruce even raised his glass and said happily with his big voice:
"A toast to our heroes!"
"Here's to our heroes!"
now.
Under such an atmosphere, one after another rich voices gathered together, forming an echo under the bright starry sky that may never go out.
And Su Wen also truly felt what [the influence of the world] is at this moment.
World influence is not power to control the world.
On the contrary, it was a choice made by countless people who put their heavy hopes in their own hands.
Immediately afterwards, the lights in the venue were restored.
Old Black Bruce walked up to him, had a drink with him enthusiastically, and then said cheerfully:
