"What does it mean?"
Looking at the mark on the door, Claire tried to push the door marked 'Snake Civilization', but finally found that the door seemed to be locked by some force and remained motionless.
"Perhaps... some kind of key is needed to open it."
Anvis tried shaking the astral stone disk in front of the gates, but ultimately found that it seemed unable to open these gates.
"Snake civilization...wait, I seem to have remembered something."
Raising his hand to touch the rough rock texture of the door, Claire suddenly closed his eyes slightly and kept pressing the marlstone door with one hand. His whole person exuded a strange temperament.
“□□□……□!”
An ancient language that had long been lost in the current era came from Claire's mouth, with an obscure friction and ominous hiss. It was almost impossible to imagine that this sound was actually produced by human vocal cords.
Rumble, rumble...
As Claire's voice fell, the door trembled, and then burst open.
"Just now, what was that?"
After giving Claire a curious look, Avis asked directly.
"The language of the snake people civilization in the ancient era means 'opening'."
The blond half-elf girl retracted her hand, looking equally confused.
"I don't know why I know this word. I just have a feeling that this door is opened like this."
"...Is this so?"
Looking at the opened door, Anvis stroked his chin, looked in front of him at the gorgeous metal door marked [High Elf Civilization], and tried to say 'open' in High Elf language.
Buzz——
On the surface of the silver-white door, the dense and beautiful patterns suddenly lit up, and the faint blue magic light flowed in the lines. Amidst the low hum of the magic resonance, the two doors slid open quietly.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Anvis would have found it hard to imagine that the great library of the Star Civilization could be opened in such a unique way. After all, the signs on these gates use the characters of the Star Civilization.
On the inside of the open door, a silver-white obelisk was first caught in Anwes' eyes. On it, the introduction of the high elves was recorded in fine floral star civilization text.
'The high elven civilization, a race created by the gods, was born in the Old God Era 5024, and left Yunivar in the God's Fall Era 10012 and entered deep space. '
Behind this obelisk is an endless illusory starry sky. There is only a straight silver road leading to the center of this starry sky, a magnificent high elf-style floating city suspended in nothingness.
From a distance, Anvis could already see a large number of giant bookshelves standing on the floating city.
In order to guard against possible dangers, Anvis did not set foot on the floating city immediately. Instead, he separated several clones with only fourth-level strength, explored along the road, and returned to the hall to meet up with Claire.
'Snake civilization, Yunivar's oldest civilization, evolved from the marine creatures 'lily snake insects' at the end of the Dark Age, and was officially established in the Archaic Era 3104. Later, due to predators emerging from the deep sea, the last snake-man city-state was destroyed in Archaic 4215. '
On the other side, Claire also saw the marl stone slab standing in front of the door, which introduced the snake people's civilization.
"Snake man..."
Looking at this simple but cruel description, some pictures suddenly flashed before the eyes of the half-elf girl.
Over the ancient steaming swamp, an unusually huge and blazing sun hung high in the zenith, and a barbaric city built of large pieces of marl stood in the middle of the swamp.
Some giant snakes with upright bodies rather than humanoid creatures live in this city, living an extremely monotonous and impoverished life.
Until one day, a blond half-elf girl came to the city and talked with the snake-man priest, bringing a warning that the ancient predators were about to resurrect.
However, the snake priests did not believe in this strange alien race. They wanted to capture the girl and sacrifice her as a sacrifice to their terrible 'gods'.
Finally, after a thrilling chase and hiding, the girl successfully escaped. And when she returned here a long time later, only the ruins of the original city were left.
Claire was used to this kind of ancient memory fragments that occasionally appeared suddenly. At this time, she was only slightly surprised, and then temporarily put them behind her.
The last and most critical 'part' of herself is hidden in this city. But when she actually arrived here, she lost that vague feeling.
"Did you find anything?"
Anvis came to her side and looked at the introductory stone tablet in front of him that was somewhat similar, but with different fonts and construction styles.
"Hmm... I remembered something. That city should have been built in the style of the capital of the snake people civilization, the 'City of the Feathered Serpent, Kartashein'."
After gesturing to the far side of the gate, the strange city built of rough marl that stood deep in the ancient swamp, Claire spoke in a low voice.
“I saw those ancient statues of blue marl, and saw the priests waving snake-shaped daggers, sacrificing the blood of sacrifices to the gods, but it all ended in the darkness of the deep sea.
The civilization of the stars recorded all the writing and knowledge in their history, and created a building in line with the most glorious period of the snake people civilization to preserve them.
This may be the last trace of the snake people's civilization. "
"All writing and knowledge? Are all the libraries here?"
After being slightly startled, Anvis suddenly sensed something. From his clone, a large amount of high-value information was transmitted back.
There is no danger inside the floating city library of the high elf civilization. It is just like an ordinary library, recording various knowledge of the high elf civilization in categories.
However, the size of this library is a bit too large, and the knowledge recorded in it even includes the legendary magic of the high elves, as well as the manufacturing blueprints for the Seir-level floating city that surpasses the Silver Moon-level floating city.
"Yes, those who are eligible to enter this great library are civilizations that have had a huge impact on Yunivar's history and have now disappeared.
Every door here is the last monument of civilization. "
Claire nodded slightly, her voice as sweet as a clear spring.
"I think those ancient secret techniques that were lost in time should be of great help to you."
At this time, after learning that there were legendary spells recorded in the high elf library, [Silver Eyes] Einstein couldn't help it. Secretly leaving a message for Anvis, he couldn't wait to enter it, and eagerly began to collect all kinds of cutting-edge magic knowledge.
Not paying attention to Einstein's actions, Avis turned around again and arrived in front of the silver ball in the center of the hemispherical building almost simultaneously with Claire's movements.
"So, dear Senior Claire, is your goal also here?"
Glancing at Claire beside him, Avis smiled and spoke.
"After actually entering here, my memory told me that 'I' had been here before, but I was not in any civilized library."
Claire nodded lightly, her blue eyes reflecting the silver sphere containing the power of time and space on the pedestal in front of her.
It's not that clear when you're far away, but when you walk in, you'll find that this silver sphere as tall as a person is actually a little too perfect, even too perfect to seem like something that really exists in this world. (End of chapter)
