"This place is" Jia Yao looked around, "the library"
Books, full of books. After Jia Yao and Xiao An entered the secret room, their vision was completely filled with all kinds of books. The books were stacked on huge bookshelves that filled the entire room. Some bookshelves are even multi-layered structures and are piled high.
Jia Yao had the illusion that this house was bigger than the castle.
"How can such a room be turned into a secret room without being discovered?" Jia Yao complained without hesitation.
Based on visual inspection alone, the space here occupies at least one-fifth of the entire castle. But if Jia Yao and the others hadn't walked into this room and discovered the conspicuous mechanism, no one would have found it until the end of the game. Who on earth came up with such an unscientific thing?
Jia Yao looked around and smiled happily.
"I suddenly became interested in this place, Xiao An"
Xiao An, who came in together, was stunned at first when he saw the layout here, and then returned to his usual Sanwu face, as if he was used to it.
Then Xiao An walked towards the nearest bookshelf, picked up a book and flipped through it. The strange thing is that neither the bookshelves nor the books here have much dust stuck to them, as if someone has been cleaning them.
"What are you looking at?" Jia Yao walked over curiously, "This is English."
The text on the books looked a bit like English, but there was something wrong with it, at least Jia Yao couldn't understand it.
"Old English," Xiao An said, "Britain, the words used more than a thousand years ago."
"More than a thousand years ago," Jia Yao said in surprise, "That's what this library is called. It's really amazing here. You can find books from such a long time ago and they are still so well preserved."
Xiao An looked up at the tall bookshelf.
"Its style is very old, and it was also a product before the Middle Ages." Xiao An looked at the book in his hand and said, "If I am not mistaken, it should be something from King Arthur's period or a later imitation. But here, there are already many A long time, almost, that’s the time.”
Jia Yao's surprised expression immediately turned into disbelief.
"How is it possible?" Jia Yao frowned and said, "Let's not talk about whether it was possible to make such an exaggerated thing at that time. Just speaking of preservation, it would be impossible to preserve it for such a long time. Moreover, it appears in China now. I remember it should be four hundred There must have been close ties between China and Britain many years ago."
In that era when there were still boundaries between countries, if people from one country built a house on another country's land without obtaining permission from another country, they were just doing nothing and causing trouble for themselves. If you get to a place deep in the mountains and wild forests where no one can notice, then forget it, but the woods in this place have not been so dense before, and it will not be discovered until hundreds of years later.
"I can't understand." Xiao An shook his head.
Jia Yao adjusted her glasses, thought for a while and said, "Xiao An knows these words. Let's see if there is anything recorded in these books."
Xiao An nodded, put the book back in his hand, and began to wander among the bookshelves, looking for relevant books. Because Jia Yao didn't know these ancient English words, she could only look around to see if there were any signs or anything like that.
"this is"
Looking at what seemed to be a desk in front of her with a strange expression, Jia Yao found a pile of unbound books stacked on the table.
"Xiao An, come here, I don't understand what's written on it."
Xiao An, who was not far away, heard the sound and walked towards the place where Jia Yao's voice came from. Under Jia Yao's eager eyes, Xiao An walked out from the huge bookshelf.
"Come on, come on, I feel like it's something terrible." Jia Yao grabbed Xiao An's hand and ran to the table, "Look, there is a quill next to it. What is written on it?"
There was a piece of paper in the center of the table, filled with words that Jia Yao didn't recognize. There is a half-written piece of paper next to it, and the quill is pressed against this paper.
Xiao An picked up the two pieces of paper, looked at them and said, "This is a note. It's very ordinary."
Jia Yao was not affected by Xiao An's words at all.
"What's written?" Jia Yao said excitedly.
Xiao An looked at it carefully.
"In 521, King Arthur came to the throne." Xiao An muttered, as if he had a premonition of something, and looked at Jia Yao calmly.
Sure enough, Jia Yao was stunned.
No, why did a relevant record pop up as soon as we talked about King Arthur? No, no, no, no matter how you think about it, it is impossible. This place seems too new in comparison.
Maybe Lin Ranzhe knows something
It's a pity that I can't ask myself now.
"Look behind you."
The little secret finger pointed at it and translated.
"In the same year, the Great Sage served as King Arthur's teacher, giving him the power of a second person to assist King Arthur. King Arthur conquered other countries, and the Great Sage managed domestic politics."
"I remember that Merlin didn't have such great power in history, right?" Jia Yao looked strange, "King Arthur really dares to let go of this, even his own teacher wouldn't do this."
"Sage Merlin followed King Arthur into battle." Xiao An continued.
"" Jia Yao was stunned, "This person is writing a novel, right?"
There must have been a mistake somewhere. Jia Yao clearly remembered reading it when she was studying history. King Arthur's teacher was clearly Merlin. As a king who established Britain that lasted for thousands of years, how could his life be recorded incorrectly?
She remembered it wrong
It’s a joke. Only when a perfect memorizer’s memory can remember every single thing can it be called a perfect memory, right?
Jia Yao has a perfect memory, but she has never mentioned this to anyone else.
Xiao An shook his head.
"The record is correct. In the time of King Arthur, there were two wise men."
"What?" Jia Yao was shocked, "Why don't I know the history of King Arthur's era? I have read both official and unofficial history, but I only know that King Arthur's teacher was Merlin."
"I don't know," Xiao An frowned, "I heard my father say it, but I didn't pay attention."
As soon as Xiao An finished speaking, he quickly rushed forward and covered Jia Yao's mouth.
Jia Yao was still wondering, but slowly, she heard more and more noise at the entrance. It was just like the sound of gears turning on a mechanism before, but this time it was too quiet, and you might not be able to hear it if you didn't listen carefully.
somebody is coming
Jia Yao couldn't speak, but her eyes were enough to express the meaning.
Xiao An nodded.
"Someone you don't know." Xiao An whispered in Jia Yao's ear.
Jia Yao blinked, indicating that she understood. Xiao An let go of his hand and the two of them hid behind the bookshelf. It's not that the two of them are too timid, but that they can't determine who the other person is.
People who participate in the game enter at different times. Coupled with the maze-like corridor here, the possibility of the two groups meeting is really low, and the possibility of entering this room and discovering the mechanism is even smaller.
Not afraid of 10,000, but afraid of the worst. Jia Yao thinks that she is a homely girl with no fighting ability.
Xiao An
Jia Yao, who doesn't know Xiao An very well, really has no confidence in her.
Slowly, the sound of gears disappeared
