Chapter 1059 Concerns About Banned Books

The entire taboo library is divided into three floors and five areas. The largest area is the bottom library, which mainly stores books such as various taboo thoughts.

The sea god world has existed for such a long time, and it has continued to expand and swallow other worlds, absorbing a lot of knowledge and ideas from other worlds. Although the sea god belief has always been the only belief in this world, there will always be some deviant thoughts It will continue to grow like weeds, and these ideas will often be extinguished by the Church of the Sea God, the Sea Clan, and the Spirit Clan when they first appear. However, their works have not been destroyed, but will be stored in the taboo library.

As for why these books full of deviant and even blasphemous thoughts were not destroyed, but instead were stored and allowed to be consulted by senior clergy, this is not even clear within the Sea God Church, only that the original rules were formulated in this way.

This kind of books has accumulated a huge amount over time. According to the attendants assigned to Leo, there are as many as four million books on this floor. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the entire Seagod World. Heresy to the core.

Compared with the books containing taboo thoughts on the bottom floor, the books on the upper two floors are much less. These two floors are divided into four areas, corresponding to the four maelstroms.

The sea god world’s conquest of other worlds is not like the protoss of Anor Londo, opening up a temporary space passage to conquer other worlds, but there are four fixed vortices, and the sea god world’s army can pass through the four great vortexes Enter other worlds to start conquests.

It’s just that the worlds to which the whirlpools go are not fixed, but the worlds they lead to are randomly selected, so unless there are existences such as Sea God and the first generation of sea king Leviathan, after those expeditionary forces enter other worlds through the whirlpool, most of them will die. will all end in failure.

However, there are also some expeditionary forces that can successfully conquer the world they go to, and eventually all civilization knowledge and resources in that world will be swallowed up by Seagod's World.

The civilizational knowledge left over from these annexed worlds will be screened out, and some of the knowledge related to extraordinary power will be stored in the corresponding area of ​​​​the taboo library according to the world to which the maelstrom leads.

Although these books are regarded as taboo knowledge and involve a lot of supernatural power, people in the Seagod World seldom read the books here, because for people in the Seagod World, their power cores are completely different, which makes these superpowers Mysterious knowledge cannot be used at all, no matter how good it is, it is useless, the only function is to increase experience, know what kind of strange power other worlds have, and you can be on guard in advance, so only senior priests who join the expeditionary force will choose to come Read it here.

However, compared to the heresies below, these mysterious knowledge from other worlds are read by more people, and the managers are not even willing to sweep the dust in that piece of heresy, as if as long as they touch those Heresy, they will be polluted by heresy.

The library attendant in charge of Leo thought that Leo would look at the mysterious knowledge from different worlds just like the people who came here to read books, but Leo gave a completely different answer, what he wanted to read Books turned out to be those heresies that are numerous, but no one cares about them.

"Did you make a mistake?" Although he knew it was inappropriate, the attendant couldn't help but confirm again.

"I know what I want to see." Leo replied in the affirmative.

Seeing that Leo had expressed his attitude, the attendant didn't say anything more, and led Leo to a row of bookshelves full of heresies, and put his hand on a stone platform under the bookshelf, a burst of light came out from the stone platform, followed by The bookshelf fixed on the ground slowly moved out, completely displayed in front of Leo.

After removing the bookshelf, the attendant hastily removed his hand from the stone platform, then took two quick steps back, away from the bookshelf, as if the bookshelf was some kind of terrifying scourge.

The attendant said quickly: "You can look through the books here at will. If you need to transcribe, there are paper and pens over there. If you have other orders, you can go to the front and call me."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Leo's answer, he quickly ran out of the forbidden book area, until he reached the small reception room where he usually stays before he breathed a sigh of relief, but then he seemed to think of something and hesitated a little , turned around and walked towards the office where the manager of the library was located. It seemed that he was planning to tell the manager that Leo wanted to consult those heresies.

Leo ignored the attendant's thoughts. After the bookshelf was released, his attention fell on the bookshelf, and he took out the latest book, and did not go to the reading area not far away, just standing there Flip through the bookshelves quickly.

The reason why Leo chose to read these heretical theories first instead of looking at the mysterious knowledge that contains extraordinary power is not to say that he will not be able to use those mysterious knowledge to obtain extraordinary power like people in the sea god world, but because compared Instead of mastering some supernatural powers, he is more willing to explore some mysteries about this sea god world and other worlds, which can help him understand more things.

In fact, Leo has also read a lot of books related to other worlds in the library of the Goddess Temple, but because of religious reasons, most of the content related to other worlds is just tasted and written vaguely. Nothing detailed, so Leo can't get anything really useful out of it, and most things about other worlds are guesswork.

But now these deviant banned books are different. Although these banned books are written around religious ideas, most of them are related to the Sea God Church, but in addition, these books will also record some mysteries of other worlds. As well as the secrets of the Sea God World that cannot be known by others, these secrets must hide some things that Leo wants to know.

Although these books are large tomes, there are actually not many useful contents. Most of the contents are some religious thoughts, philosophical thoughts, and one of the thoughts about the Sea God Church. Leo's eyes only need to scan the pages He was able to clearly understand the general content of the pages of the book, so he flipped through the pages very quickly, and he read the entire book in almost a few minutes.

While Leo was flipping through the books, the manager of the library led his attendants to the hall of the library, where he could see Leo, and stared at Leo seriously.

When the attendants came to tell him just now that the books that Leo planned to transcribe turned out to be heresies, he was really shocked, because he had heard something before, and knew that some curious senior priests had consulted it. However, the final situation of those clergymen was very bad, either their divine rank fell, or they simply became heresies, so since he became the manager, there has never been a senior clergyman of the church to overcome through these books.

Now Leo wanted to look up these heresies, which made him think of those senior priests who became heresies, so he came to check if the situation was true, and if it was true, he had to report the matter to the Holy Church.

He is well aware that the power struggle between the God-Family faction and the God-Descendant faction in the church is already undercurrent, and it will turn into a tsunami sweeping the entire church at any time, and he is unwilling to be involved in this tsunami. This matter, in the eyes of others, must belong to the sidelines, and it will be difficult for him to remain neutral at that time, but he has to do so, because if the heresy here is spread in the Goddess Holy Church, it will be very difficult for the Sea God Church. It is the most serious damage.

However, when he stood there and watched Leo flip through the banned books for a while, his previous decision to report the matter was dispelled, and at the same time, curiosity arose in his heart.

The reason why he changed his mind was mainly because Leo's reading speed of those banned books was so fast that he could only glance at the contents of a whole page. Impossible to remember any of the above.

In his opinion, Leo was more like looking for something in those forbidden books, which was why he was curious.

As for why there are things hidden in the forbidden books, this is not suspicious to him, because he often has the idea of ​​hiding some of his secret items in the forbidden books. The clergy may not necessarily look through it once for hundreds of thousands of years, and it is absolutely safe to keep XZ inside.

It was this kind of thinking that made him guess that Leo might have seen in the private collection of a church ancestor that he had hidden a valuable thing in a forbidden book, and he hoped to get that thing , That's why I came here to read these banned books that normal clergy would not take a second look at.

After watching Leo quickly flip through all the books on a whole row of bookshelves, the library manager felt that there was no need to monitor here anymore, turned around and ordered the attendant who was waiting quietly to serve Leo carefully, and then Turning around and going back to his office, he put this matter behind him.

Under Leo's call, the attendant ran over to open a new bookshelf for Leo. This time he did not go back to his reception room, but waited quietly not far away, looking at Leo as if Flipping through those forbidden books as fast as playing.

Although Leo flipped through books very quickly, it was also difficult for him to read all the banned books in the library in a short time.

However, it is not necessary for him to read all the books above. He only needs to read the books that are useful to him. While reading these books, he also discovered some rules of storing these books, most of which are Some books dealing with religious philosophy, thought, and worship of new gods are grouped together, while those dealing with other world cultures are placed in another area.

Compared with the large number of heresies, the number of books involving other world cultures is obviously much less, so in less than half a day, this part of the books has been read by Leo, and Leo came here. The main purpose is also achieved.

After reading this part of the forbidden books, Leo did not continue to read the mysterious knowledge from different worlds stored on the upper two floors. He found a place to sit in the reading area and quietly sorted out the forbidden books he wrote down. .

The attendant couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief seeing that Leo didn't continue to read those heresies. Although he also analyzed from Leo's reading movements, Leo was not reading those books, but was looking for something, but he didn't care about those heresies. He was so nervous that he was tense from the moment Leo picked up the first forbidden book of heresy.

Although the attendant's small movements were hidden, they could not escape Leo's perception. He didn't have too many thoughts, and he didn't think there would be any problem if other people found out about his reading of these forbidden books. what to get.

It has to be said that although Leo knew from other books that the Sea God World conquered many worlds, he never thought that there were so many worlds conquered, and there were more than three hundred heresy thoughts involving the gods of different worlds. There are more worlds without gods, and the total number adds up to a thousand.

Many of these worlds were not really completely conquered by the Seagod World, but only established a church, such as the World of Velen.

Among those books are the church classics of several main gods in the world of Vinylon. It can be seen that the expeditionary force of the world of Seagod has gone to the world of Vinylon, but it ended in failure.

However, why the gods in the Vinylon world didn’t completely eliminate the outsider from the Poseidon world, and even included the Poseidon church in the Church of the True God, probably has something to do with the fact that the gods in the Vinylon world are all foreign gods or the foreign gods have been transformed into local ancient gods. In a certain aspect, it should be similar to the Lord of the Sky, except that it did not abandon everything else like the Lord of the Sky, and transformed into the local ancient god of the current Velen world, the Lord of the Sky.

This also made Leo wonder if the true gods in the world of Vinylon were escaped gods whose own world was conquered by other worlds. After all, it can accommodate so many true gods with different beliefs to exist at the same time. Such a world is not comparable to ordinary small worlds.

At least from the forbidden books that Leo has read, he has not discovered that there are two true gods in the small world conquered by the sea god world. From an ideological point of view, it has definitely not reached the height of an Omega-level advanced life form, so it should be a false god.

The world of Vinylon now has at least three true gods whose life forms have reached Omega-level advanced life forms. In the past, there were more such true gods, which is unusual no matter how you look at it.
