Chapter 384: The Story Recorded on the Slate
When he walked closer, the fog dissipated, and Xia Ren was finally able to see the whole picture of the building.
This is a huge building made of heavy stones. The surface of the building is uneven, but these potholes do not affect the beauty of the building. Instead, they seem to contain some wonderful rules, giving people an indescribable taste.
And as it got closer, Xia Ren discovered that the color of this building actually changed with the viewer's angle. It was sometimes golden, sometimes green, and sometimes changing.
In front of the building, there are eighteen circular stone pillars hundreds of meters high, with rare beasts carved on them and some obscure words.
After looking closely, Xia Ren found that he could recognize a small part of the words on the stone pillars, which were more like derivatives of the words in the book "Underground Digger", but the writing method was more complicated.
When Xia Ren watched carefully, he could only trivially identify some unknown words and sentences such as "Western Mountain", "Heaven Emperor", "Great Wilderness", "You can eat", "Qiongqi", and "Kuafu".
Xia Ren has never seen the rare beasts above on Blue Star. I don’t know if they were creatures imagined by the builders.
"This is the Grand Library of Seraino..."
Xia Ren looked up at the huge building built on the desolate planet, and his heart was filled with shock.
Who is it? It is so capable of establishing such a magnificent library 430 light years away from Blue Star?
Or...
Xia Ren turned around and glanced at the lake filled with cold gray liquid and the stone pier beside the lakeside.
"Or the library was left behind by life that once existed on this planet?"
"The builders of the library are far older than you and I can imagine."
The doctor looked at the door of the library and said, "Even if I use the power of the Silver Key, I can't go back to that past, but it has been at least tens of millions of years. The only thing that is certain is that this library was not built by Blue Star Life."
"Why do you say that?" Xia Ren said in confusion.
"You'll know later."
After the doctor said that, he walked towards the gate.
Xia Ren came to the standing stone pillar and couldn't help but look up.
He saw a stone sculpture of a strange beast. The strange beast had a human face, but its face was ethereal, as if hidden in the clouds and mist, and it was not clear. However, his body was like a giant python, but had limbs, with pointed fins on the back, dense scales, and a wide tail, like a burning flame.
Just looking at his tail, Xia Ren felt a stinging pain in his eyes burned by flames.
The reason why this stone sculpture attracted Xia Ren's attention was because he was too big and occupied half of the area of this stone pillar.
The stone sculpture's eyes were closed, and Xia Ren couldn't help but look at the location of his eyes, his heart pounding.
Invisible energy emanated from these stone pillars, wrapping the entire library. Xia Ren was not hindered when he passed through this invisible barrier, but a touch was generated in a corner of his heart.
This touch was too small, and even Xia Ren himself did not notice anything unusual and directly ignored the past.
Passing through the stone pillars, the door to the library is right in front of you.
The closer he got, the more desire Xia Ren felt, as if there was a small beast hidden in his heart, and he was about to move, wanting to rush out of the cage.
Under the guidance of the doctor, he walked into the magnificent hall.
The height here is hundreds of meters and the area is even more incalculable. Xia Ren originally guessed that there would be rows of bookshelves inside, just like the libraries he usually sees.
But after actually coming in, he realized that the Grand Library of Seraino seemed to have been attacked.
There are traces of battle everywhere here, both the walls and the ground, with potholes and scars everywhere. Some of these scars are like sharp objects chopping, while the other part is obviously cut by the claws of some kind of beast.
Judging from the size of the scar, the beasts that can cause such scenes are even larger than the dinosaurs in the Cretaceous period.
The library was messy, with ruins everywhere, and the black marks left by the burning of books were extremely eye-catching.
According to the doctor, these traces have existed for at least tens of millions of years, but in Xia Ren's view, they are more like something that just happened not long ago.
"Are there any books here?"
Xia Ren looked around and saw that no bookshelf survived wherever he looked.
"Although there aren't many, there are still some."
The doctor walked towards the wall on the side of the library, where there were pedestals similar to doll display racks. On the pedestal were a few books that looked like mud bricks, which seemed to have existed for quite a long time.
Looking at the traces, before the attack occurred, there should be similar display shelves on the entire wall here, but those who still survive now probably can count them with one hand.
Xia Ren was somewhat surprised that the doctor's goal was not the books on the display shelves, but a few huge stone slabs scattered beside the walls.
“That’s all.”
Xia Ren walked over curiously. Under the soft light of the Silver Key, he saw the dense words engraved on the stone slab, which belonged to the same kind of words on the eighteen stone pillars outside.
Xia Ren bent over, frowned and looked for a long time, and said, "You asked me to see this? But I can't understand it either."
"This is what you asked for."
The doctor doesn't seem to be planning to help.
He turned around, and the end of the white long coat slowly fell in the air. He had walked dozens of meters away, and was actually planning to leave here.
Xia Ren was stunned for a moment, looked down at the soft light that had been covered with her body quickly faded away, and couldn't help but get anxious and quickly wanted to catch up.
"Hey! Old man! Did my breath be exposed soon after you left like this?"
Xia Renke still remembers that the entire Pleiades star cluster was the territory of the king of yellow, and Cthulhu was hostile to each other with the king of yellow. The blood of Cthulhu flowed on his body, which was hidden only by the power of the key. If the light of the key disappeared, he would be directly exposed to the hostile old god!
And it is on this planet where birds do not shit. People who are not familiar with the place have no place to run.
"Don't worry."
The doctor did not look back, but waved his hand and said, "The sight of the Yellow King cannot penetrate the Serraino Grand Library, here you are safe."
After saying this, the doctor had already crossed the stone pillars at the gate.
The light of the silver key on Xia Ren's body disappeared immediately, and he was squeezed out from the junction of the two time and space, completely coming to this time and space.
Everything was different when it came.
A friendly and disgusting smell filled the nose, and the atmosphere in the library was like a flame, igniting a certain lead. The extremely comfortable numbness climbed from the tailbone, climbing along the spine, and finally exploded in the brain. Xia Ren couldn't help but moan.
The tentacles behind his head naturally stretched out, Xia Ren spread his arms, and countless light spots poured out from the surrounding environment and entered his body.
Facing the sequelae brought by Itakua completely disappeared, the fatigue faded without a trace, and the strength returned to control.
Xia Ren breathed a sigh of relief on his back, opened his eyes again, and looked around.
There seemed to be something in his mind, and he couldn't be sure.
The only thing that is certain is that he has definitely been here more than once.
Back in front of those huge stone slabs, although I still don’t recognize some of the words engraved on them, the stories told in them will automatically unfold in his mind.
On the stone slab, there is the origin of a civilization and an important war.
