Chapter 558 The Tower of Truth
Chapter 46 The Tower of Truth

This is the world of books.

This is not just an exaggeration - in this tower, all the inanimate permanent objects you see are either books or bookshelves.

The rectangular bookshelves used by human beings, the regular tetrahedron bookshelves floating in the air, the spiral bookshelves...these bookshelves are completely beyond the limitations of human common sense and aesthetics.

In fact, it is true to say so.Because this is not a bookshelf that humans can use, but a bookshelf that has been handed down from the age when elves and dragons were still active in the world, and mages were the mainstream of spellcasters.

That is not a container for books, but a carrier for knowledge, something more essential.

The crystal ornaments hanging from the ceiling are actually some kind of minerals that goblins use to record history; those seemingly ordinary long tables and ladders used to climb to high places are actually books that have been changed in shape .In addition, including but not limited to decorations on the table, cups for drinking, tableware for eating, and beds for sleeping...all of these are formed by deformed bookshelves and books .

If outsiders enter, this closed space without any beacons will surely make them get lost here.

Not only is there no beacon here, there is no label for classification on any book, let alone the bookshelf that is still slowly moving and adjusting its position.

However, in this chaotic space that seems to have no order, a deeper order runs through all the chaos.

That is the black runes that rotate very slowly with certain regularity on the ground, walls and ceiling.

It wasn't Elcate's ancient rune, nor was it the astral language used by the priest.

It was developed by the wizards themselves based on the runes on the wall of Aum, and it is dedicated to defining the world and describing the world at the level of the law; it is really created by the wizards, not inherited from the wizards A true creation.

If you study the secret language of the White Tower deeply enough, you can easily see through the true meaning of those lines.

Although it looks like decoration or protection, it doesn't actually form any enchantment. Its only function is to guide others, just like a pamphlet issued by a tour guide.

In this tall tower that is always running on its own and circulating endlessly, the thing that can reveal the location of the book you want to find at the moment must also be continuously running.

The so-called "truth is changing all the time, and the means of pursuing truth must also be constantly changing" - this is the core idea of ​​the wizard of the White Tower, which is completely opposite to the idea of ​​"truth is eternal" maintained by alchemists.

One of them explores the unknown future, and the other learns from the glorious past.It can be said that this is the initial and biggest point of difference between the two schools of wizards and alchemists.

But just as alchemists often invent new things, although wizards think that the past should not be missed, they have not abandoned history.

This is the Tower of Truth.The original White Tower, the recorder of Vientiane.

The Tower of Truth in the south, and the Dongguo Society in the north—after the Akasha records completely collapsed, these are the two most complete databases in this world.

Unlike Dongguohui, which focuses on collecting secrets and recording real history, the Tower of Truth is just like its name, and everything stored is knowledge.

From the beginning of the birth of wizards until today, all the experimental records and results reports of wizards inside the White Tower are stored here.In addition, there are also research results of scholars in various fields, legends collected from the outside world, and even public or semi-public experiment reports of alchemists, all of which are backed up here.

After the emergence of the index query system based on the White Tower secret language 60 years ago, few wizards will continue to study and recite the vast amount of knowledge that cannot be learned by dozens of generations, but invest precious time in experimentation and innovation. , and save a lot of time with this query system.

However, Anroth was not among these wizards.

In a certain corner of the White Tower, the void suddenly collapsed, becoming blurred while flashing with lightning.As if piercing through soap bubbles, when the space collapsed to the limit suddenly bounced back and trembled slightly in the air, An Ruosi, wearing a cardinal's robe, stepped out of it.

After he appeared, the space seemed to light up, and the space swayed slightly like water ripples.Seeing this scene, the wizards standing or sitting around with books immediately put away the books in their hands and bowed slightly to An Ruosi respectfully.

"Your Excellency An Ruosi."

"No need to be polite."

Even though he was almost the youngest among the group of wizards, An Ruosi didn't show any nervousness, he just shook his hands amiably: "I still have something to do, I'll be leaving in a while——Where is Teacher Merlin?"

"This one……"

"In Nev District, there are 73 rows of [-] vertically, and [-] to [-] horizontally."

In the embarrassing situation where the wizards were either blank or wryly smiling, a purple-robed wizard hurriedly came here with a thick book in his hand and immediately responded: "I went to find "Half-Dragon Species and Dragon-like Species and I saw him looking for books when I read "The Difference Between Yarons". If you go there now, there should be still time."

"Thanks, Mr. Patch."

An Ruosi nodded gratefully to him.There was no An Ruosi chanting or casting spells, and a distorted and collapsed space appeared in front of him out of thin air, and An Ruosi stepped into it without hesitation.After he took a step forward, the surrounding environment has changed drastically.Surrounded by majestic beauty that shouldn't be in the world of Farnese.

If you want to use one word to describe it, you can only use "Galaxy" to describe it.

That's what the so-called stars were - destroyed nearly 2000 years ago, what the world looked like before Farnese was born.Even though the word star now generally refers to the light spots left by those far-flung false gods who penetrated the wall of Aum, the word has actually been born a long time ago.

In the whole of Fiennes, this is the only place where you can see the stars as they really are.

But unfortunately, these stars are still fake. In fact, this is still a bookshelf.

Every star is a book.If you don't know anything about astrology and witchcraft, you will almost certainly get lost in this space.Therefore, even if it is a great wizard, he will not enter the Nev district to find books if he has nothing to do.

An Ruosi looked around, and immediately saw a white-haired old man who fit the image of an "old wizard" in people's minds.He was flipping a thin book in his hand, and there was a thick stone slab in the crook of his left arm.

That was Merlin the Keeper of Secrets.Keeper of the Tower of Truth.

"Teacher, what are you looking for?" An Ruosi asked curiously.

"Oh, An Ruosi, you're back... I'm looking for information about the statue of the Seven Saints of El Carter. That's why I called you back. If I don't find it, you have to go to the Dongguo Society to ask gone."

When the great wizard Merlin heard An Ruosi's voice, he turned his head and replied in an old and gentle voice: "If everything goes well, we might be able to find the wreckage of the legendary Akasha record."

At this moment, an eye-like rune was shining strangely on Merlin's forehead.
