Tesler's figure disappeared into the mist between the rows of bookcases. He will encounter his own challenges while searching for the book.
If he can break through his fear, solve the mystery in the fog, and find the book that is related to him, he will successfully join the reading club.
While waiting, Sean wanted to break the silence and ask the two people around him a few questions that had been lingering in his mind: For example, who are the holders of the other two Elder Keys.
The previous owner of the Moon Key was Edgar Pompey, the teacher of one of the Six Saints and the father of the leader of the Daedalus Foundation.
If even people like Arthur and Alicia don't hold the other two Elder Keys, it's hard for Sean to imagine what kind of people are standing on the top floor of the reading club.
In addition, he was vaguely aware of the meaning of the book club's existence, its secret meaning. However, he still wanted to have an in-depth discussion with the two people in front of him.
It wasn't until he saw Arthur's eyes in the light that his slightly troubled heart calmed down. He realized that sooner or later fate would reveal everything to him.
Just like when he met his candle bearer. Rather than letting those hidden meanings reduce to plain language, it is better to let them brew in silence.
Suddenly, Sean felt relieved. He gently held his moon key and felt the quiet feeling shared with the candle bearers and fellow readers.
The power to change history is contained in this silence. There was an unusual noise from deep in the library, as if a huge creature overturned the densely packed bookcases and chased the people trapped in the maze - Tesler was in trouble.
However, the three readers present and their candle bearers could only watch everything quietly and must not interfere with the book-finding ceremony.
A flash of lightning appeared. Sean couldn't help but look into the darkness. Presumably Tesler unleashed his lightning in a bottle again.
A portable Tesler coil was activated in Ocean City. Soon after, the rising dust and smoke began to fall, and the scattered pages of the book were flying like snow in the darkness. Calm footsteps came from the depths, and the thin Nikolai Tesler walked out of the darkness with a book.
His expression was calm, as if he really just borrowed a book from an ordinary library.
"Can you imagine?" The book in his hand was a dark green cover.
"How do you feel when a giant beetle appears next to you when you are looking for Castle?"
"Did you burn that beetle?"
"If I didn't bake it, my arm would be gone." You can see through the light that Tesler is holding Franz Kafka's "The Castle" in his hand.
"One?" Sean was a little surprised. After all, what he originally chose was the "Return Scroll" which contained the Divine Feather of Genor.
In his eyes, book hunting is a rare opportunity to study ancient books. But think about it carefully, as a non-explorer, choose a book like
"Dangerous" books are tantamount to getting angry. It's definitely wise to pick a book that doesn't have too many outliers.
"This is my favorite book." Tesler's eyes were soft and he brushed his fingers over the cover.
"When I read it, I felt like I was reliving a dream I had had before. The feeling of absurdity and powerlessness was exactly the same as my dream.
"Besides, you can't just pick a book on engineering or electricity..."
"A good choice." Arthur seemed to see something in that book,
"A book full of metaphors without an ending...
"It was written by a non-explorer, but it almost has a powerful mystical meaning. You can read it over and over again, which will help you improve your concentration and even soul concentration. However, you must not go too deep in the maze of words. , so as not to let the soul get lost..." Sean Xiao suddenly understood something again, or in other words, the wisdom he gained from previous understandings has awakened some in the soul of this world: creations by non-explorers are also It may have a mystery that no explorer can give it.
Kafka's words, Stravinsky's symphonies, Dali's paintings... these giants may not be involved in the industry of exploration, but their works may even inspire explorers.
In other words, just like top scholars are in the scientific community
Like "Questers", human masters travel through the city of art, trying to escape from all kinds of fears that disturb the spirit and the attacks of real life. Wearing masks, they finally recover the treasures that belong to all mankind... "Castle" is like a A black dream.
The temperament is so close to Tesler. Picking up the book club pendant he had prepared earlier, Sean hung it around Tesler's neck.
"Don't wear it if you don't have to," Sean told him.垜
"Come." He called all readers and candle-holders. They came closer, gathered under the light, and chanted in unison: "We, read. We read in the sun, read in the moonlight. If necessary, we will open the book by candlelight. The thoughts passed down by the sages are a warning to future generations. The history and skills that have been passed down for thousands of years. Carved on stone pillars, printed in books, hidden in the belly of fish. And we, reading - there will be a junction between history and the future. At this junction, the wisest thing to do is - Read. Welcome and send, learn from the past and learn about the present, let us forget the pain of the world. Human beings never die: for thousands of years, they remain immortal, just because our thoughts exist in books. Let this fire continue, let the light of intelligence and reason , illuminating the ancient and ignorant night sky... Friends, listen to me! If you want to step into the light, there is only one way - reading in the sun, reading in the moonlight. If necessary, we will open the book by candlelight... We, Read." The voice ended.
A tacit silence filled the place, like light illuminating these young faces. All friends meet for dinner.
In the time before dinner, Tesler found Sean. On the street at the foot of the building, Tesler asked: "Sean, did you return to Maze Island later?" He was too weak before, and going to Maze Island would only increase the pressure without any benefit, so Sean will pay more attention to this important heritage. Exploration was put on hold.
He answered truthfully: "I haven't been in since I left Ocean City - but I plan to go in recently..." He thought about the appropriate words.
"Tidy it up." Tesler nodded repeatedly. He sorted out his words and said, "Actually, I have something to ask you."
"What's going on?" The most outstanding inventor in the world was smoking, and he blew out a puff of smoke: "Do you remember Mud?"
"Of course I remember." Sean met Tesler when he was trapped in the maze island. There was an extremely ugly native of Maze Island who lived up to his name and helped Tesler.
Unfortunately, Niba ended up falling into the abyss trying to save them.
"I've been dreaming a lot lately, about that abyss...
"I heard the sound of mud coming from the abyss." Tesler's eyes were filled with sadness.
“He wanted to get out of there.
"Maybe it's a little difficult, since it's so deep down there...but if you can do it, please promise me, okay?
"Please find Niba's body and bury him."
