The Modern Age of the Mysterious

Vol 2 Chapter 702: "root"

A question that is often used to test newcomers is: What is the most important wealth for a seeker? reef

If the answer is something like power or mystical heritage, then the questioner can conclude that the answerer hasn't thought deeply enough about this question.

For after all the trials and tribulations of the mystic, the answer to this question will be the same for all seniors: knowledge. The most important wealth is knowledge.

Only by mastering the knowledge can we eliminate risks, save our lives and even achieve our goals in a dangerous and strange environment. Not only that, but for a certain branch of divine art to develop to its full form and even enter a deeper realm, it also requires the experience accumulated by the predecessors...

Seekers seem to have endless methods, but in the final analysis, their most important weapon is knowledge.

Although curiosity about knowledge may lead to terrible disasters, the seeker needs knowledge and cannot stop going into the unknown.

The high-level and senior members of the association understand a truth: the core wealth that supports such a large organization is not the spiritual network system, nor those Ace-level or even two ghost cards that are endless, but the accumulation of "knowledge"-deep The "book collection" hidden underground.

Tracing further to the source, it is the secret room called "Root" in the deepest part of the underground library, where two hundred "core books" are stored. The vast amount of mysterious knowledge is almost all extended and changed from these two hundred "core books". reef

The knowledge stored in the "root" is the closest to the original, but also the most dangerous. Therefore, only King-level and above explorers can make an appointment to enter the museum. It is a "sanctuary"-like existence that almost all practitioners are eager to see the true face.

On the other hand, it is probably also the safest place in the mysterious world that human beings can create. Known as "the gods can't be the book thief".

The precious information brought back by Arthur Merlin and his party this time, "Clark Stella's Notes", also known as "Stella's R'lyeh's Guide", is of inestimable value as a secret exploration material, and will undoubtedly into the root.

Knowing the value of knowledge to explorers and the preciousness of the books in the root, you can also understand why Arthur and his party immediately started the process of "collecting books into the cabinet" as soon as they arrived at the association. Ordinary books, even the precious books included in the Queen-level library, will take about a week to appear on the bookshelf. For Stella Notes, the safest way to deal with them is of course to collect them as soon as possible. Where is the root.

So the group took the elevator to the Queen-level library on the second basement floor. Arthur, Sean and his party, the vice president Elliott, the secretary of the president, and the head of the library management department stood in front of the bookshelves intertwined with tree roots. The "Orphan Collector" came out of the darkness, obviously uncomfortable with the sudden appearance of so many people in the Quiet Pavilion.

Even if the vice president and his immediate superior were in the crowd, he would show his impatience clearly. He summoned all the book searchers who were climbing on the bookshelves, and stared closely at these noisy guests.

"It's really out of order-how can so many people come here at one time..." Although he complained, he could only turn around and lead in the depths. reef

Passing through the rows of bookshelves, they came to the wall at the end of the library. There seemed to be a towering giant tree on the ground above the wall. The ancient and strong root system spread down from the top of the wall, following the natural root system , a huge copper relief on the wall - "The Reader under the Tree of Knowledge".

The root system grows along the gullies of the reliefs, where nature and man-made are integrated.

Below the copper-cast relief, there are six bronze-cast armors with a height of more than two meters. It was not a decoration, Sean saw burning spiritual power in it.

There was a workbench next to it, and the rare book collector took Stella's notebook from Arthur and began to conduct a series of inspections...

"Make sure that there are no curses or evil spirits hidden in the books collected into the cabinet, otherwise it will cause a huge accident..." While talking, the orphan collector infiltrated his thin psychic substance into each page, almost like a Dot by dot inspection.

After a while, he closed his notebook and nodded towards the person behind him. The head of the library management department, a silver-haired woman, walked to the base of the wall and put her hand on the relief, soaked in a little spiritual matter, and the copper-cast wall with no gaps burst open from the middle. The upper root system meanders and shrinks like a living thing, avoiding the opening of the hole. Behind them, the long-haired animals climbing between the bookshelves in the distance opened their eyes wide, and cast their timid gazes into the rare darkness...

"Root" appeared in front of everyone. reef

In the sinking mist caused by the low temperature, a faint light can be seen.

Elliott turned to Xiao En's team: "As a explorer, you must be at least King level to step into the root."

Led by the only collector, the vice president, Arthur and others stepped into it. Sean looked at his teammates around him and followed them. Moonlight who stopped walking turned around and folded his arms and simply didn't look at it.

Lights are lit in the roots, and interestingly, electric lights are installed in the interior of this historic core library.

Before paying attention to the precious books on the bookshelf, Sean discovered that there was a person standing in the secret room.

Upon closer inspection, I realized that it was not a person. The man wearing the black librarian uniform and holding a faint bull's-eye lamp in his hand turned out to be a dead body. His face was lifeless and almost dry. A pair of dull eyes, reflecting the light dully.

“The previous librarian, Denzel Warren, continued to serve the library after his death. Reef

"Because there are almost no souls left in the dead body, so it happens to be like an artifact to get along with those dangerous books..." The vice president knew that the King behind him was visiting Root for the first time, so he turned his head and introduced to Sean. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

"Thank you, Varen." Elliot smiled and patted the administrator's withered shoulder, as if he thought it was a little funny.

Valen didn't respond.

The group ignored the vice president's "humor" and continued walking inside.

The main part of the root is a dodecahedron space with a cubic glass room in the middle. There is a huge desk in the glass room. All bookshelves are against the wall, silently facing the central glass room.

Sean found that the bookshelves arranged around the center seemed to be divided into different areas, and each area presented a different style. After careful observation, he discovered that the so-called different "styles" were not artificially designed, but seemed to be formed by the books on the shelf...

For example, one of the bookshelves has the symbol of Naia Shenyu on it, and eleven books are placed on it, and the whole bookcase is filled with that kind of black fog-like atmosphere. Not only that, but the black weeds of "Forgotten Wasteland" spread out from the bookcases and spread out on the ground in front of the bookshelves...

Immediately adjacent to the black grass is a scarlet soil. In front of the bookcase with the symbol of the City of Two Suns next to it, scarlet scorched earth lay on the ground, and the rays of the red sun seemed to cast on the ground through the window, closely adjacent to the black grass next to it.

"The core collection is indeed more pure..." Sean couldn't help but sweat a little. He only saw bad visions when looking at the books that recorded evil knowledge, and never thought that the books themselves would extend the creepy scenery in the kingdom of God to the world.

It seems that those legendary names and taboos will come here at any time.
