Lord of Rot

Chapter 490 Giant Corpse [Previous Chapter 1 Unsealed] (Page 12)

"Sir, we're here"

The car door opened, and Li Qi, who had already changed his clothes, jumped out of the car and stood on the spacious avenue. People were passing by in a hurry, but few people chose to stop here.

Ahead is a huge building, the Royal City Library.

The towering spire of the dome occupies a quarter of the main building of Bear Castle.

Li Qi nodded to the coachman and walked towards the big library.

The big library has always been open to the public, and there are no soldiers guarding the door. During the upcoming celebrations in the kingdom, the number of people coming to the capital from all directions has increased several times compared to before. Some people are obsessed with the elegance and nobility of the women in the capital. Naturally There are people who are addicted to the alluring fragrance of knowledge, but the latter is much less common than the former.

Climb up the stairs.

Stopped in front of the door of the big library. The wooden door was made of an old tree. It looked very much like the material currently used by porcupine collars to make staffs. The rings of the trees were shaking in circles, which made people dizzy. Thousands of laps.

Looking up, there are reliefs of the Four Gods carved on the lintel, and a sense of richness of culture hits your face.

Finally, Li Qi felt some ancient charm from this world.

Entering the big library, Li Qi had to raise his head and look up only at the first floor. The place with the largest collection of books he had ever visited was the library at Green Forest Castle. The accumulation of several generations of the Crocodile family finally led to that terrifying collection of books, but In the Royal City Library, the number of books on the first floor is probably greater than the total number of books in the Crocodile Family Library.

There is a chandelier made of colored glass on the top. I don't know how to light it at night.

There were scholars wearing robes walking around in the large library. Some scholars collected books, dusted them off, cleaned the bookshelves, and then sorted the books into categories. Others were copying quietly under the windows in the sunshine.

There were busy figures everywhere, but it was eerily quiet. The big library seemed to have a magic circle that could swallow all sounds. Standing inside, Li Qi felt that it was very difficult for him to speak.

The thunder pendant on his chest gently stimulated his muscles. He breathed a sigh of relief and woke up from the oppression of books and culture.

"Wow, it's so big here~"

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't disturb others."

There was the sound of a father and daughter chatting quietly in his ears, and Li Qi turned to look over.

Men's clothing style belongs to the central region. Compared with the clothes of Dongxia, they always like to hang some scattered accessories on their bodies.

The girl was wearing thick clothes and a lynx fur skirt.

When he noticed that Li Qi was looking over him, the man smiled apologetically at Li Qi, while the girl blushed and stuck out her tongue cutely and awkwardly.

Li Qi nodded slightly as a greeting. If Li Qi's body was strengthened by his extraordinary status, it would be impossible for him to hear the voices of the two of them speaking, and it would not be considered that they were disturbing others.

"Only those who are ignorant of knowledge are fearless." He probably understood why he was shocked just now.

The little girl had no exact concept of knowledge, so she just thought it was a big place, but Li Qi was shocked by the content that could be recorded in a book.

Unless you are an immortal species, you may not be able to finish reading this level of books in one or two hundred years.

Li Qi focused his attention on the scholars who were copying books in the corner. Most of them were old and some were extraordinary, but most of them were ordinary people.

"Most of them have stayed in the big library all their lives, responsible for organizing the books in the big library, copying damaged books, or repairing damaged contents."

The voice came from an old scholar with white beard and white hair. The other person stood one step away from Li Qi and introduced himself: "I am Gray, the administrator of the big library."

"I am Li Qi Clarence," Li Qi said: "I want to go to the third and fourth floors of the big library. Some people say that I have the qualifications to go there."

"Yes." Gray nodded: "I just received the news. I am very happy that someone other than a scholar is going there. Please come with me."

Li Qi nodded and followed Gray.

"They have been copying all their lives?" Li Qi's eyes always stayed on the scholars who copied books. Beside the elderly elders, there were young and active young apprentices, trying to study patiently.

It's more like a strange inheritance.

Scholar Gray said: "It's just the books on the first floor. If one person is allowed to read them without sleep, it will take at least one or two hundred years. Every year, books are damaged due to various reasons, so they need to be copied. There are always not enough people."

"Can there only be one copy of each book?" Li Qi asked: "Why not copy a few more copies and send them to other places, or let ordinary people read them?"

The nobles blocked knowledge, making slaves slaves forever, and rich people forever rich. However, Li Qi believed that scholars would not. Their pursuit of knowledge has transcended material things. Otherwise, a person would be allowed to copy books from a young age until his hair. Ji Bai, that loneliness is definitely not something a normal person can bear.

Scholar Gray shook his head and looked at Li Qi with curious eyes: "Of course not, but we only have 187 scholars. It is already very difficult just to maintain the big library, but you are the first noble who hopes to let more people obtain knowledge. .”

Because we pursue different things, Li Qi thought to himself.

He already has the wealth that ordinary people pursue, and he also holds in his hands the rights that ordinary people can only dream of. Therefore, creating value and having more is Li Qi's current pursuit.

At least we have to catch up to the level of the earth.

Li Qi said: "Maybe I have a way to spread the books."

The letterpress printing in the Porcupine Territory has been officially put into use. It is currently only used to print books for night school children, because there are not many literate people in the Territory, and typesetting is also a delicate job. Let people with insufficient education rush to publish books, which is misleading. Children.

But the big library is different, there are 187 scholars.

There are only a few porcupine collars!

The title of scholar is not obtained casually. It must have achieved a recognized achievement in a certain piece of knowledge, just like Betty. Although Li Qi thinks that she is very talented in explosions and can be called a scholar, Scholar Thomas and Scholar Tonks obviously didn't think so. Instead, he felt that she was seriously partial to academic subjects and was the kind of person who would never graduate.

The herbal apprentice Vic's knowledge has grown rapidly, and with the knowledge of penicillin, injections, and magic potions made by Li Qi, he can barely be regarded as a scholar.

If you get all these 187 scholars into your own hands, you no longer need to worry about educational resources. Even talents with general knowledge can become teachers and incubate a large number of talents.

What if someone has different knowledge... There are only a few scholars in the Porcupine Leader, and with financial support, they can trigger huge changes. Wouldn't 187 scholars form an alien demon research team in minutes?

Many things that were previously unthinkable can be quickly advanced.

Li Qi was very moved. He even thought of attacking the royal city and moving away all the scholars and books in the big library.

Scholar Gray didn't know that the noble lord he had a favorable impression of was currently mentally calculating the feasibility of attacking the royal city.

"When you talk about spreading, do you mean asking someone to help copy it?" Scholar Gray frowned slightly: "Maybe you don't know how important the accuracy of knowledge is."
