Chapter 915 What a Painful Realization
At noon, the warm sun shines on the earth. As a port city, Haisu has always been a warm and flamboyant place. You can see young men wearing big pants and biting popsicles everywhere on the street, as well as girls wearing skirts or shorts pressing the road. There are Hard-working unloading workers also have glamorous tourists, and the seaside life is always lively and colorful.
Mo Ye put away the note in his hand and did not choose to search for it immediately according to the house number in the note. When he arrived in a completely unfamiliar place for the first time, Mo Ye felt that it was necessary to find out what the place was first. Know what is going on on this planet, and only when you have the basic situation can you start to act.
The information obtained on the fishing boat was very limited.
The best way to learn about a planet is without a doubt history, and in a place where the internet is not freely available, libraries and museums are the best places to learn.
"I'm going to the library, you two can go around as you like." Mo Ye is not a person who will send tasks to others. Your Excellency the mage has always been a hands-off shopkeeper. Most of the subordinates or team members do what they do. sex.
Ma Li nodded again and again, "I'll take Naen to the tavern to find out if there is any valuable news. If other people are dumped to this planet like us, maybe there will be rumors."
When Ma Li turned to leave, Mo Ye threw a magic pattern communicator over, "Use this to contact me"
Ma Li grinned and took a long breath in his heart. This is considered to be recognized, and he will not be abandoned easily. God knows how worried he is that this senior expert will never turn around and never hear from him again. "Okay, thank you Miss Mo."
Mo Ye turned left and right according to the direction indicated on the map and made two big circles before finally arriving at the municipal library in Haisu City. It is also one of the cultural attractions of Haisu City.
A domed building with a slightly ancient style, not very high, with calm and low-key colors, it seems a bit out of place with Haisu, a passionate seaside city.
"Thirty-one, fifty-one, commemorative photos are discounted, absolutely high-definition, absolutely beautiful. Holographic three-dimensional photos. Those who take pictures have signed up, and two sets are free to send all photo frames. The number is limited and first come first served."
"Don't miss it when you pass by. I took a picture."
"..."
The entrance of the antique library full of book fragrance is full of solicitors taking pictures, there are endless shouts, and Mo Ye is also drunk, what is going on.
Many tourists stopped outside the gate to take pictures to commemorate. But few actually entered it.
After all, photography is not allowed in the library. Photographers will not be allowed to enter the business.
Alas, not even the chance to show off a selfie in the library, it is really sad that the use of personal technology devices is limited to this point. Xiao Qi expressed sympathy for the many tourists, this day is simply impossible!
"Master, I think they are so pitiful. They can't even take a selfie." What's the matter with that unbelievable, sympathetic and choking tone?
Mo Ye "..."
Xiaoqi. Don't you think it's them who are more pitiful, they were swept up on such a strange planet by the turbulence of space for no reason, and what's worse, they were separated from their friends. Is this the time to be merciful?
Because there were so many tourists, Mo Ye standing at the door and watching was not particularly conspicuous.
"Master, there is an access control here, you can't get in without a communication card"
Mo Ye looked around for a while and soon found that there was a window not far away selling temporary library pass cards, and Mo Ye walked over to get one.
The waiter at the window greeted warmly, "Welcome to the Municipal Library. The one-day pass is 180 cards. If you want to apply for a monthly pass, you can get a 20% discount. The annual pass not only gives you a 20% discount, but also allows you to rent books. Miss, you Which do you want?"
Cary?
What the hell is that, a unit of measurement for coins?
Hearing the words, Mo Ye froze on the spot like a thunderbolt, and was about to raise his hand to swipe his card, froze in mid-air.
She seems to have forgotten one very important thing... This planet does not allow free internet access, so the interstellar currency in your bank account is naturally unusable. No, taking a step back, even if you can connect to the Internet, the interstellar currency probably cannot be circulated here In other words, the money in Mo Ye's account has no meaning in this place.
Whenever people think that they will not be more unlucky, they will find the cruelty of reality. After several years of hard work, the mage, who was still a small fortune, returned to the pre-liberation overnight again, penniless.
This is such a painful realization. Thinking of the days when Mo Ye felt aggrieved when he was so poor, and the money he saved so hard could not be spent, this feeling is really not good.
Although the 180-cal one-day card is not cheap, it is not impossible for anyone to afford it. The salesperson looked at Mo Ye's sluggish expression and smiled and repeated, "Miss, thank you for the 180 cal."
Faced with such a sincere service with a smile, Mo Ye could only step back and let the people behind him go first.
Unexpectedly, he would be penniless after a rear-end accident. At this moment, Mo Ye was very thankful that he was a magician who had mastered space magic. Since he had no money to buy a ticket, he had to enter for free.
puff~~
Master Mage, no matter how euphemistic you say it, it still cannot cover up the fact that you are evading fares!
Walking to a corner where no one was around, Mo Ye entered the library with a flash.
In the huge library, except for sporadic tourists and staff, there is not much traffic. Mo Ye directly chose the storage place for historical books.
Rows of towering bookshelves in the spacious inner hall are neatly stacked with books. Looking up from the lobby on the first floor, you can see that the four-story library is full of books, not counting the space. It is very large but the collection of books is absolutely impressive.
Such physical libraries have almost disappeared in the Star Alliance. Paper books have been completely replaced by optical brains and star networks. Paper records only exist in the private collections of historians and museum collections. Mo Yeyi When I saw so many paper books, I couldn't help being a little excited.
Compared with books with light screens or holographic mimicry, Mo Ye prefers paper books with a natural ink fragrance.
As expected, this place is very different from the Star Alliance. As far as Mo Ye knows, paper is a luxury and an antique in the Star Alliance. Papermaking has become an intangible cultural heritage, and few people really know it.
Mo Ye randomly pulled out a book from a large row of shelves, and there were four big gilded characters on the cover...
This...uh... Mo Ye said that she didn't know a word. This is not the common language of the Star Alliance, and it is impossible to tell what the crooked and complicated symbols represent.
Mo Ye subconsciously asked Xiaoqi, "Do you know him?"
The answer is yes... I don't know, this kind of text is not in Xiaoqi's database.
Ever since, Master Master became a penniless and illiterate person, and suddenly wanted to look at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle.
Uneducated, it's terrible...
No culture and no money at the same time. This day can't be passed.
Mo Ye mentally swept across a row of bookshelves. After sorting out the unknown characters, I finally found a few books written in the common language of the Star Alliance. Although Mo Ye was very sloppy in writing the common language, at least he could understand the general language. No matter how bad it is, Xiaoqi can translate it.
The General History of Norkisman
"Thousands of Years"
"Mr. Magia takes you into the Western Continent"
"One Hundred Questions about Interesting History"
"Those Years We Went Together"
"The Passionate Years of My Father and Mother"
Why are the titles of these historical books getting more and more strange? This is the rhythm of the emergence of a large number of unofficial histories and romantic general histories.
Mo Ye hugged a large stack of books and found a seat by the window and sat down, flipping through the pages, Mo Ye's reading speed was extremely fast. To be able to read in a timely manner at a glance, in the eyes of others, it is random flipping and reading without seriousness.
There were two people standing at the spiral staircase on the third floor, one old and one young. Well-dressed, the old man has the refined temperament of a scholar.
The young man appeared to be much more detached, and said with a smile, "Hehe, teacher. Just now you praised that young lady who likes to study history. Look, she is not as good as me." In the corridor on the other floor. Standing side by side, the two could see Mo Ye's godlike browsing speed.
"Hmph, nonsense" the old man walked away in a huff.
The young man also left after glancing at Mo Ye.
Mo Ye was completely unaffected by the surrounding environment. Concentrating on reading the mountain of books in front of her, she didn't pay much attention to the people upstairs who watched her and finally walked away.
"Master, someone upstairs is watching you"
"Leave them alone"
From noon to evening, the sky outside the window gradually darkened. Mo Ye had already finished reading all the history books in front of him. As for Xiaoqi, this guy basically put half of the library's collections into the library in one afternoon. in the memory chip.
The name of this planet is Norseman, and the historical records are only 10,000 years old, that is, since the death of advanced civilizations. Mo Ye doesn't know if there is some connection between them.
"Xiao Qi, did you find anything?"
"Master, according to the available information, this should be a public star domain outside the Star Alliance, completely out of touch with the history of the Star Alliance. There has been no handover in the past 10,000 years. There are two possibilities for this kind of thing to happen. This The 10,000-year history of the planet has been artificially eliminated. The second is that this is a planet that has developed in isolation like the Earth and has not been included in the Star Alliance system. However, judging from the level of technology revealed in some places here, it is unlikely. , but still restrict the use of personal technology, I think the probability of the first possibility is higher.”
Although the materials in the library books are all official announcements, many of the contents are limited, but at least they can have a preliminary understanding of Norseman.
At present, Mo Ye has not checked any records about other planets on this planet. It is not difficult to see the technological restrictions imposed by the government. Even if there are external planetary exchanges, they will not be carried out openly.
In the territory of a large country in the Star Alliance, there are several star domains at every turn. Even the measurement unit of the territory of a small country is calculated according to the planet, but it is quite different here.
Inside the Norseman planet, their management system is more like the earth before the cataclysm. There are more than a dozen large and small countries in a planet that rule together, occupying different regions, except for the global government consensus of technological restrictions. , the culture, language, and ruling system of each country are not necessarily the same.
This planet has two vast continents, the east and west continents are separated by endless oceans, the distance is extremely far away, and more than a dozen countries are distributed on these two continents.
Haisu City, where Mo Ye is now, is just one of the small seaport cities on the Western Continent that developed by relying on fishing.
On this planet, due to the restricted use of technology, we attach great importance to the cultivation of personal cultivation. Physical arts are popular items, especially in the Western Continent. People here are naturally stronger with stronger physiques. In contrast, the supernatural beings here It is very rare, and the situation in the Eastern Continent is completely opposite, the number of supernatural beings is obviously more.
There is a strict hierarchy on this planet, and there is a huge difference between ordinary citizens and the upper class, and birth is especially important here, which is similar to the Lausanne Empire.
The life of the poor is extremely difficult.
"Master, the history of this planet is definitely not only 10,000 years old, but the longest period of all historical records will not exceed 10,000 years. I think it is impossible to find corresponding information in public libraries."
"Um"
Mo Ye nodded in agreement with Xiao Qi's point of view. Even technological equipment can be restricted from use, not to mention blocking historical documents. There are tricks on this planet, but for the time being, Mo Ye doesn't know what the trick is and where it is.
Well...
You two, don't you realize that the focus is wrong? You are not here to explore the planet. Your goal is to find your mother and your little friend!
His Excellency the mage, who didn't have a library card, spent an afternoon in the library for free, and then disappeared in a blink of an eye when he walked to the place behind the bookcase that blocked his view.
Mo Ye met Ma Li and Na En outside a tavern near the pier in Haisu City.
Both of them had bruises and bloodstains on their faces. It was obvious that they had fought, and it was a one-sided bear.
Your Excellency, you are the truth!
"Fighted?"
"No." Ma Li shook his head, "I didn't have the money to pay the bill and was thrown out by the people in the tavern."
Mo Ye expressed his understanding, "What did you find out?"
"I was in a tavern and I heard several sailors talking about the big storm some time ago. I heard that there were storms in several different sea areas almost at the same time, and many ships were killed because of it. At present, the Meteorological Bureau has no systematic statistics. When the report comes out, the time is about the same as when we landed on the isolated island."
Mo Ye frowned slightly, were these all caused by the turbulence in space?
Putting aside these chaotic clues for the time being, Mo Ye thought that the most urgent thing is to get some money first. Every country on the Norseman planet has different currencies, but there is one hard currency that is connected to the Star Alliance, that is, energy mines.
This made Mo Ye feel very lucky. She is really poor now and only has energy mines left. There are a lot of them in the space ring, but life is always so rough.
"Miss Mo, we have inquired just now that energy mines cannot be freely used here, because they are state-controlled products. Whether they are exchanged or used, they must obtain a license from the government, otherwise they will be directly seized by the government army. take away"
This sense of sight of a local tyrant having his assets frozen made Mo Ye speechless. (to be continued)
