The Mythical Races I Created
Vol 2 Chapter 288: thieves of wealth, thieves of state, thieves of civilization
The city of Algeria is not only the capital of the kobolds, but also the location of the largest library in the kobold kingdom.
All the academic and theological elites of the kobold world gathered in the city of Algeria.
Barbatos Abu stood under the vast library. In the eyes of the Panyang people, the value of this library was better than many lands.
This library brings together the works of alchemy, theology, mechanics, architecture, art, rhetoric and philosophy of the gnoll kingdom. It has everything, but the contemporary wolf-headed king who built this big library seems to only want to. Using this as a vehicle for his exploits and display, this way of collecting writings is often destructive.
The Jackal Prince beside him tried his best to introduce their magnificent library and explain the history of the library.
"My father, the greatest king here, built this building, and he consumed rare treasures and built this lavish library."
"Preserving the books here requires a huge amount of money. It consumes a lot of money every moment. Only a powerful dynasty like ours can have such wealth. Even the gods will be eclipsed by the wealth here."
The Jackal Prince boasted: "Now all knowledge is in the hands of our royal family."
"However, do you really want to exchange 1,000 pieces of silk for 20,000 copies of books in the library?"
Barbatos looked at him with a puzzled look.
The Jackal Prince invited him into the library. The director of the library was an old-fashioned kobold, but in the face of the presence of the royal family, the old kobold had to kneel in front of the prince, kiss the rocky ground, and thank the royal family.
The Jackal Prince didn't look at him. "Friend, I think you've lost a trade like this."
"There are only piles of old paper here, and the most valuable and indeed valuable part is the building itself, not the content inside the building."
They collect books from all over the world just to show authority, it doesn't mean that the royal family really values knowledge.
Barbatos gave a quirky smile that made sense, of course.
He gave the Jackal Prince a ceremony. "Your Highness, it's up to our oasis to judge whether it's worth it or not. Now the oasis only wants to trade with you 20,000 copies of books and use a thousand pieces of silk... What do you think?"
"Of course, my dear friend." The Jackal Prince gave Barbatos a hug.
"My dear friend, I heard that you are also the owner of one of the seven oases now, and you have full equal status with me."
The two walked into the interior of the great library under the mutual exchange of a large number of guards. The kobolds who were borrowing books in the library saw the prince entering, and they all knelt on the ground one by one, and some even wanted to stick to the ground to show the prince. Show their cowardice.
The Jackal Prince watched with satisfaction the attitude of the most prestigious scholars in the kingdom towards him.
Barbatos was shocked by the number of books in this huge library.
Rows and columns of books are placed on the shelves, some thick, some thin, so dazzling, Barbatos is in awe.
Barbatos glanced at the triumphant Jackal Prince, who may have thought that the respect and grand architecture of others would bring him majesty, but it was not so.
What really deserves his respect is what is inside the library.
This is the crystallization of the knowledge of the kobold society for thousands of years.
However, the brain of the owner of this library is not the crystallization of the kobold society for thousands of years. The brain of the owner of this library is the essence of the cancer of the kobold society for thousands of years.
Therefore, such an important core can be replaced with only 200 pieces of silk.
Barbatos has an absurd delusion.
The Jackal Prince pointed to the left and said, "Here are books on alchemy, on the right are books on philosophy, history and rhetoric, the next few rows are books on architecture and mechanics, the last few rows are books on economics, these books Take your pick, but those books on the shelves made of precious wood are religious books, these books are the most precious treasures of our society, and you can't take any of them."
The Jackal Prince, as if afraid of Barbatos' misunderstanding, explained, "It wasn't my intention, my friend."
"But our high priest is an old stubborn."
"The high priest thinks that you Panyang people are heretics and resists passing on our religion to heretics and barbarians, so..."
"He refused to lend the books out."
"Unfortunately, he happened to be looking at me all the time, and I couldn't speak to him. I'm sorry, my friend."
The kobold high priest has always supported the second prince, but the wolf-headed king, the master of this land, he likes the youngest son the most.
The Jackal Prince was born to the queen, and he was the queen's direct line like Princess Ardel, so he was the eldest prince.
The Jackal Prince secretly instilled the Pan Yangs with the idea that the high priest was hostile to them, in order to tie the Pan Yang people to his camp.
The scholars on the side saw that the prince's attitude towards this strange-looking sheepman was so kind, and they immediately regarded Barbatos Abu as a noble person in their hearts, and they must find an opportunity to make friends and talk later.
Barbatos nodded to the jackal prince, but he didn't agree.
Hehe... I was not interested in your religious books, but there is still a stupid kobold who thinks we still want to covet your religious books.
"Woodworkers?" Barbatos walked to the bookshelf and said to a kobold scholar, "Give me a copy of this."
The scholar immediately took the book, and UU reading www.uukanshu.com respectfully followed behind Barbatos.
This made Barbatos frown.
In the kobold society, the powerful alliance after the deep combination of royal power and divine power is too powerful in spiritual enslavement. The royal family can command anyone at any time, and it will not treat people as people at all.
Barbatos pointed to the third row of bookshelves. "Give me a copy of the color change of that flame."
"Give me a copy of that delta herbal..."
"Give me a copy of the art history of plate carving..."
"Give me a copy of the origin of that grid painting..."
"Give me a copy of that rhetoric book..."
"Give me a copy of Theological Controversy in the philosophical sense..."
Watching his friends patiently choosing books here, the Jackal Prince has no patience to accompany him.
He said hello to Barbatos and left here straight away. Before leaving, all the scholars here lay on the ground and saluted him.
It is probably because of this that the Jackal Prince does not pay attention to knowledge. After all, these so-called scholars are just servile servants in front of him, so how can he respect knowledge!
Barbatos looked back and saw the Jackal Prince leave. He suddenly turned his head and stared at the Jackal Prince with a greedy and cunning smile on the corner of his mouth.
The deal is textbook level.
Who would have thought that someone could buy an entire civilization of someone else with two hundred pieces of silk!
It's a pity that people who steal people's property will be thrown into prison, but people who steal people's civilization are regarded as friends.
