The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

However, Leo felt strange that according to the rules of the Sea God Church, only approved senior priests could enter the taboo library to read, but now the stranger Leo saw who was not from the Sea God Church did not have any priests from the Sea God Church The features it should have.

What's even more weird is that the other party doesn't even have an attendant arranged by the library. He doesn't even need to lift the restriction on the bookshelf, he can directly take out a book from the bookshelf to read.

This strange person caught Leo's attention. Leo put down the book in his hand and waved to the attendant not far away. When he came over, he motioned to the person and asked, "Who is that person?" Who? Isn't it only the clergy who can read it here?"

"People?" The attendant was stunned, looked at Leo in a puzzled manner, and then asked with a puzzled look, "My lord? Who are you referring to?"

"Can't you see someone reading there?" Leo asked again.

The attendant looked completely blank and said, "No? There's no one there."

Hearing the attendant's answer, Leo frowned, because he could feel that the attendant was not lying, and he really couldn't see someone reading a book at the table over there.

Just when Leo thought that he might have seen some kind of phantom, the attendant suddenly seemed to remember something, couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and showed a terrified look, saying: "Could it be that what you saw was him?" ?”

Although the conversation between Leo and the attendant was not loud, the entire library was very empty, and with the special dome design, the sound could reverberate in the room for a long time, and other people around could hear the conversation between the two.

When they heard the attendant's exclamation, all of them showed panic expressions, as if they all thought of the same horrible thing at the same time, and then they didn't care whether they had read the books in their hands or not. , one by one stood up in a panic and walked outside, and when they walked, they deliberately avoided Leo and the table that Leo had signaled just now.

Seeing this scene, Leo naturally knew that what he saw might not be a good thing, so he turned his head to look at the pale attendant and waited for his explanation.

"It is said that there is a mysterious existence in the library. Most people can't see it, but anyone who sees it will die, even the archbishop who has been blessed by our Lord." The attendant explained quickly and indirectly, and then looked at it. The table that Leo indicated, asked in a deep voice: "Did you really see someone over there?"

Leo didn't answer, and he didn't know how to answer, because he did see someone reading the forbidden book over there. Not only could he see the figure, but he could also feel the weak energy fluctuations emanating from the other party's body, even Through the mental network interfered by the defense force of the library, he can also understand the other party's physical condition.

In Leo's eyes, the person in front of him was an ordinary human being who was too normal to be normal.

"Something's wrong!" However, Leo seemed to suddenly think of something, and couldn't help muttering in his heart.

What he said was wrong, not because other people around him turned a blind eye to that person, nor was it the death legend that the attendant said. The reason why he said something wrong in his heart was because he found that the person she noticed was very normal. Normal is not normal in the general sense, but truly normal, normal to very abnormal.

This human body is normal to the extreme, it is an extremely pure human body, and its purity is almost comparable to the standard human demonstration diagram in the human body structure textbook of the Earth Federation.

You must know that this standard of human beings will only appear in books, never in reality.

Not to mention the humans in the Sea God World, because of their blood, their bodies will more or less have some sea-like mutations, and the humans in the Velen World also have some recessive organs in their internal organs due to environmental and other reasons. Mutations, such as the heart and lungs, are larger than normal standard humans.

Even the Earth Federation in the universe, because it needs to adapt to the living environment of the universe, some organs and parts of the human body of the Earth Federation will be fine-tuned at the genetic level before birth, so that the human beings born can adapt to the universe environment.

Only in the old earth era, the ancient humans who had not yet entered the industrialization period could be as standard as the human schematic diagram in the book.

But now, right in front of Leo's eyes, there is such an extremely pure human being sitting there reading a book, but this human being cannot be seen by other people around him.

Thinking of this, Leo signaled the attendant to stay away. The attendant got Leo's instruction and immediately ran away, and then carefully looked towards Leo.

Leo stood up, went to the chair next to the human and sat down. He didn't say a word, just looked at the other person like this, and while he was looking at the other person, he also glanced at the books that the person was flipping through from time to time.

Because of the location, Leo couldn't see the contents of that book, but he could see the cover of the book, which said Song of Garin.

If he hadn't read those banned books before, Leo might not know who this Jialin is. After all, Jialin is a very common name in the world of Sea God, and he may need to find additional information in the end.

But now he has quickly found this Galin in the forbidden book of the Sea God Church, because among all the heresies recorded by the Sea God Church, there is only one Galin, and that person is King Garin, who is also the king of heresies.

The belief in the Sea God world is very stable, basically unshakable from top to bottom, but among the Sea Clan with the strongest belief in the Sea God, there was a heretic royal family that abandoned the Sea God belief. This Sea Clan royal family was King Garin, who once formed A heretical kingdom lived, but it perished in just ten tidal days.

After the death of King Jialin, a book called Song of Jialin appeared, which recorded the life of King Jialin, and finally this book was listed as a banned book and destroyed.

The biography of King Galin is very detailed, not as vague as other books related to heresy, but there is one thing that is very strange, that is, why King Galin became a heretic, any information None mentioned above, seems to be an unsolved mystery.

The only thing we can know is that King Jialin was a very devout Poseidon believer before he became a heretic, and he was qualified to be the chief priest of the Sea God Temple of the Sea Clan. It is really strange that the disciples of the Sea God turned into heresy overnight.

As a result, some people think that King Jialin is not a heretic at all, indicating the loser of the internal power struggle of the Haizu royal family.

"Do you know why King Jialin became a heretic?" Just as Leo recalled the information about King Jialin, the normal person in front of him who only he could see suddenly asked.

Leo was stunned when he heard the words, his face was full of shock. He was not shocked because this ordinary person who revealed the mystery all over his body could speak, but because the language used by this person was actually the language of the Earth Federation. language.

"What the hell are you?" Leo quickly recovered from the shock, and asked in the language of the Earth Federation involuntarily.

The attendant not far away has been paying attention to the situation here. He saw Leo looking at the empty seat next to him as if he was looking at a living person, and then spoke to the empty seat in a language he had never heard before. It reminded him of the legendary dead, so he immediately turned around and ran towards the manager's office.

Facing Leo's question, this normal person did not answer, but asked repeatedly: "Do you know why King Jialin became a heretic?"

Seeing this situation, Leo was silent for a while, thought for a while, and then said according to the other party's inquiry: "I don't know, I don't know why King Jialin became a heretic, do you know?"

"I know." Leo's response was as if a certain dialogue program had been activated. Normal people began to talk about different things. I saw him returning to the bookshelf with the song of Garin, and then seemed to be looking for it. Wandering among the bookshelves, I came to a bookshelf that Leo had read before, then took a book from the shelf, returned to the seat, handed the book to Leo, and said, "That's right. It! Just after seeing it, King Garin became the king of heretics."

When the normal person handed the book to Leo, Leo naturally reached out to catch it, but in fact, Leo's heart was trying to stop this action, but his body seemed to be affected by some kind of force. The same, out of his control.

However, when he got the book, all physical abnormalities recovered.

At this time, Leo was attracted by two things. One thing was that he found that the book in his hand was real, because he could feel the texture of the book cover, the weight of the book, and smell the book for a long time. The musty smell from poor storage, and the second thing he realized he hadn't read the book.

Just now, he saw with his own eyes how the normal person took out the book from the shelf he had already read. He could even tell which books were in that area by the position of the book. What content, but when he saw the book in his hand, he realized that he had never read this book.

This made Leo suspect that the act of looking for and taking out the book made by the other party was just an impromptu performance. In fact, the book came from the other party's storage space, and the other party could take it out at any time .

But soon he denied his doubts, because the other party seemed to have no need to make such a boring disguise, and more importantly, he carefully recalled the process of the other party taking the book from the bookshelf, and found that when he took the book At that moment, there seemed to be some changes in the style of the bookshelves and the books on the bookshelves. For example, the bookshelves became much newer and there were fewer books.

This made Leo think of the phenomenon of superimposed space. There is no doubt that there is some kind of power in the world of Poseidon that can perfectly create the phenomenon of superimposed space, and what he sees now is very similar to superimposed space, that is, It is said that in addition to the forbidden book library that everyone can see, there is also a Li library that exists in a state of superimposed space, and there should be a collection of banned books that are more threatening to the Sea God Church.

But there are still a few questions, why the other party can speak the language of the Earth Federation, and who is this seemingly perfect human being in front of him?

Leo didn't bother with these issues, he lowered his head and opened the book in his hand, and was about to take a serious look at what was written in the book that turned the royal family of the sea clan into heresy, but when he read the first At the first glance, the whole person was stunned, and he confirmed to the normal person full of doubts: "This is the book that caused King Jialin to become a heretic?"

"Yes." The normal person responded calmly.

Leo lowered his head and looked at the book in his hand again. The expression on his face was very strange, because this book was beyond his expectation. Raving, recorded a lot of deceptive thoughts, but he never thought that this book turned out to be an introduction to cosmology textbook for fifteen years in federal public schools.

Yes, this book can be seen everywhere in the Earth Federation, an introduction to cosmology textbook that any Federation member must learn, and it is an old version of the 173rd edition. Leo remembers the year he died, the Earth Federation The public school introduction to cosmology textbook has been updated to the 216th edition.

Although there is only a difference of dozens of versions, the time gap between the two versions is thousands of years, because the Earth Federation compiled this introduction to cosmology textbook with reference to the universe exploration information announced by the Supreme Council, and this universe Unless the exploration information is a very important discovery, it will not appear in the official announcement of the Supreme Council, so the content of an announcement sometimes has a gap of hundreds of years, and the time required for the revision of the textbook by the Earth Federation based on the announcement is naturally longer.

Now Leo no longer has any doubts that King Galin will change from a devout Poseidon believer to a heretic king, because no matter whether it is the world of Poseidon or the world of Velen, anyone who reads this introduction to cosmology textbook, learns Once you understand the knowledge inside, you will definitely change your three views, not only your beliefs will change, but your cognition will also be completely different.

Of course, the premise of all this is that someone can understand and learn the knowledge in this book.

Although the contents of this introduction to cosmology textbook are the lowest and most basic common sense of the universe for Leo, and any ordinary person with a medium civilization knows the contents, but for a person like Sea God World who is still out of low In a civilized world, the knowledge of the universe of the people living here may not be as good as that of a first-year child who has just entered school in a middle-level civilization, and the introduction to cosmology needs to be accumulated until the fifteenth grade before you can barely understand it. , so according to common sense, King Jialin should not be able to understand this book after getting it several times, unless someone helps him interpret the content.
