The history books in the library are not as detailed as the history recorded in religious scriptures, and most of them are biographies of heroes.
Luo Wei took down a heroic epic called "Aldrich's Song" and opened two pages. The whole book was full of mythology.
This book begins with the creation of the world by the ancient gods and tells the story of the adventures of Aldrich, the son of the God of Wisdom, in the Western Plains Continent.
The beginning of the book describes how God created the world and the birth of human beings: the Creator God took out His heart and transformed it into Garland, and then sprinkled His blood to create human beings.
Afraid of the coldness of mankind, He dug out his left eye and turned it into the sun, giving mankind the warm sunshine; afraid that mankind would get lost in the dark night, He dug out his right eye and turned it into the moon, giving mankind the bright moonlight.
After the death of the Creator God, his soul gave birth to many new gods. These gods were born in the heart of the Mother Goddess and continued to bless the humans on Garan.
The book also records a war two thousand years ago, which is said to be a battle of faith among the gods.
This war caused the paradise land of old mankind to be burned down by fire and turned into a desert without any grass overnight. That desert is now the wasteland.
After that war, the gods no longer came to the world, but sat in the clouds; humans migrated to a new continent to recuperate, and this new continent is the Western Plains where they now live.
Legend has it that there is a third continent on Garland called the Fog Plains, located in the north of the Western Plains. However, the sea in the north is shrouded in thick fog all year round. No one has successfully crossed the dense fog belt so far, so it has not been confirmed whether the Fog Plains is real. exist.
It would be great if there really was a foggy plain. When she was exposed one day, she could still escape to the foggy plain to survive.
It was getting late. After reading a few pages, Luo Wei went to register to borrow the book, planning to take it back and read it slowly.
As soon as she left the borrowing area, four or five teenagers walked over from the opposite side, and one of them bumped straight into her.
With a "snap" sound, the book in Luo Wei's arms was knocked to the ground.
One hand picked up the book before her, and the boy turned to the cover and said in a long tone: "Let me see, what did you, a commoner, borrow... uh, "The Song of Aldrich"?"
After he read the title of the book, he glanced at Luo Wei and immediately fell silent.
He had a headache just looking at this ancient epic poem. The young lady in front of him actually came to borrow it?
If they were civilians, they would definitely not see this kind of thing. They wouldn't even be able to recognize the characters.
Several other teenagers also thought of this, and for a while they winked at each other without saying a word.
The young man who picked up the book thought quickly and immediately handed the book back to Luo Wei. His attitude also made a 180-degree turn: "Miss, please forgive me for being rude. I just had a misunderstanding. This book is returned to you."
Luo Wei frowned and reached out to pick up the book.
"Ah, wait a minute," the young man suddenly changed his mind again, with a look of wisdom in his eyes, "Beautiful lady, I have been reading this book recently, but there are some parts that I don't understand. Can I ask you for advice? "
Very good, another one to test her.
Think she can't read ancient books? But this thing is much simpler than classical Chinese.
Luo Wei withdrew her finger and said nonchalantly, "You ask."
The boy opened the first page of the book and pointed at a passage: "I can't understand this passage."
Luo Wei looked at him strangely. Can't you read the first page?
The young man's face was a little stiff. He also knew that he looked stupid for saying this, but he had just opened the book and read the first page. Only the content on the first page was familiar.
"Okay, give me the book and I'll teach you."
The boy returned the book to her.
Luo Wei pointed at the words on the book and spoke in a soft and melodious voice: "The body of the Goddess died, and her soul sensed the air and became pregnant. She gave birth to the gods in a square inch, and sent gods to all directions. The gods each controlled their own domain. This was the beginning of chaos. Divide, cut off life and death, all beasts..."
"The meaning of this passage is..."
It wasn't until she finished speaking that the boy's suspicion was completely dispelled.
He thanked Luo Wei, and when he left, he looked at her face carefully, and he was a little moved by this look.
This young lady has fair skin, red lips and white teeth. She also has shiny black hair like ebony and a pair of mysterious black eyes.
Although she is dressed in a very low-key manner, her elegant demeanor and rich knowledge all reflect her noble status. She is a true noble at first glance!
Athena also said that since she was a commoner, she must be jealous that this young lady was prettier than her.
The teenagers went back to find Athena, only to be scolded by her.
"Idiot! There are also smart and studious people among the common people. Do you think everyone is as ignorant as you?"
The young man was unconvinced: "But she didn't look for the arithmetic book at all. Athena, you must have made a mistake."
"That's enough, get out of here!"
"How come the dukes gave birth to such a bunch of idiots?"
Athena's face was so angry that she twisted her face. She never expected that she would ask these guys to teach Luo Wei a lesson, but they failed to teach her a lesson and even turned against her when they came back!
The teenagers were also impatient with this pampered little princess and walked away after being scolded by her.
The two parties broke up unhappy.
On the other side, Luo Wei walked around a rose garden and saw their dormitory.
This is a simple Romanesque building, which stands quietly on the green lawn, with its semicircular arches and rounded vaults exuding a dreamy atmosphere.
The original owner's room was at the end of the corridor on the second floor of the dormitory. It was in a good location. You could see the lake when you opened the window. There was also a small balcony outside the window where you could sit and drink tea.
She and Athena became enemies because of this dormitory.
The original owner came first, and later Athena also took a fancy to this place, but because the original owner had already moved his things in, the school teacher still assigned the room to the original owner.
After Luo Wei returned to the dormitory, she stood by the window and admired the scenery for a while. When the sun went down, she returned to the table and lit the oil lamp.
There was a hand-held bronze mirror upside down on the table, and she reached out and picked it up.
The dim mirror reflected a green face, and Luo Wei was stunned.
Isn't this what she looked like when she was fifteen?
I thought my appearance would change after traveling through time, but I didn't expect that the original owner looked exactly like her.
In the mirror, the delicate-looking little girl with black hair and black eyes looked at her motionless, as if she was looking at herself in the previous world.
Luo Wei blinked. Now, she was a little doubtful whether she was soul-pierced or clothed.
Fortunately, the original owner looked the same as her, with black hair, which happened to be the most noble hair color in the eyes of Westerners.
If she traveled through time and had red hair, she would really be unable to pretend to be a noble. In the West, even nobles would be discriminated against if they had red hair.
After looking in the mirror, Luo Wei seemed to understand why the teacher in the dormitory was biased towards her.
Are feelings based on stereotypes that make her think that the black-haired self has a higher status than the blonde Athena?
This is really... good news.
Luo Wei put down the mirror and walked to the closet to change into a linen nightgown.
Looking back and seeing the woolen undershirt she had taken off, she frowned slightly.
The original owner spent all his money on the outermost outfit, but didn't pay much attention to the inner clothes, which allowed Vina to catch the clue.
But in fact, the woolen undershirt she wore was very soft, obviously carefully tanned, and washed very clean. Even if it wasn't white, it definitely didn't look dirty.
But Vina was right about one thing. Real nobles would not wear woolen underwear.
Because wool bleaching, dyeing and textile technology were not yet developed at this time, the woolen sweaters produced were rough and heavy, and the color was not white enough. Therefore, nobles generally wore fine linen or cotton clothes.
Luo Wei rubbed the woolen underwear in her hands, and the processing steps flashed through her mind.
Technology is underdeveloped, wouldn't it be great if she made it more developed?
In the 21st century where she lived, fabrics woven from animal fibers were much more expensive than plant fibers.
