Chapter 710 Jelly Library
Orange light enveloped the castle made of jelly. As the army stepped in, the whole city trembled softly. If you step on the soft ground, you can be bounced far away with a slight push.
Mo Ling curiously touched the special ground with his feet. Although he knew that the nature of this jelly castle might be something very scary, he still couldn't restrain himself and became very playful.
The Jelly King did not rush Mo Ling. He first took him around the castle and then led him to a tower.
"This is the library. Everything you want to know is here."
There were many orange jelly books on the soft bookshelf. Mo Ling picked up one curiously and opened it to read.
Each page is made of thin jelly, with human words engraved on it. It is a little difficult to read, but it can still be seen clearly under the light.
Mo Ling had a sudden idea and said to the Jelly King: "I want to do an experiment with this book."
"Please." Jelly King replied nonchalantly.
After receiving permission, Mo Ling thought, and the book in his hand was thrown into the square.
Looking into the square, Mo Ling found the so-called "book".
It was an object composed of various flaky fleshy membranes. It was not as square as a normal book at all. Instead, it looked like a ball of cabbage spliced together at random, with the fleshy membranes wrapped together in a messy manner.
The translucent flesh membrane is dotted with tiny blood vessels like branches. The lines of these blood vessels are different, including the number of branches, direction, and degree of curvature... The lines on each piece of flesh membrane seem to carry different information. This information Combined with each other, they seem to have some special reference.
After just looking at it for a while, Mo Ling felt a little dizzy. He intuitively felt that the lines on the blood vessels were meaningful. They must have recorded some kind of knowledge, but he couldn't understand it, and he definitely couldn't understand it.
"It seems that I can only watch it from outside..."
Mo Ling reluctantly sent the "book" outside, placed it under the light and began to read.
The orange light shines through the cover of the jelly book, and the text on it is also visible:
"Orange Island Chronicles."
Is this a travelogue? Or historical records? Mo Ling opened the book curiously and continued reading...
"Five hundred years ago in Poseidon's calendar, there was a man who made a living by fishing. One day, he was drifting along the sea, forgetting the distance, and suddenly came across an island..."
The man approached the island and found that the island looked like an orange. The island was empty, as if there was nothing.
He went ashore and found a mountain. Climbing up the hillside, he discovered a crystal clear castle.
People outside the castle saw him and were very surprised and asked him where he came from.
He answered in detail, and the king in the castle learned about him, invited him to the castle, and entertained him warmly.
Wang told him that the people on Orange Island came to this isolated place to escape the war and stopped going out, thus cutting off contact with the outside world.
During the conversation, the fisherman discovered that the people on the island did not know the existence of Poseidon or the current almanac.
The fisherman told them everything he knew. After hearing this, they all sighed and felt sorry.
"The world is changing so fast..."
The fisherman stayed for a few days, said goodbye to the people on the island, and left.
The people on the island advised him: "Don't tell anyone about this place to the outside world."
He agreed, found his ship, and left the island, but he remembered the location of Orange Island, drew a chart, and returned to where he lived.
After returning, he reported directly to the Poseidon Priest and reported the Orange Island matter to Poseidon.
Poseidon's army followed the chart he drew, found the location of Orange Island, and then launched an attack...
…
This is the entire content of "Orange Island".
After reading the book, Mo Ling looked at the Jelly King beside him in confusion.
"That person is a believer of the undersea god?"
Jelly King nodded.
"We entertained him warmly, but he betrayed us and told Poseidon about Orange Island. Since then, we have been attacked by Poseidon's army at regular intervals."
"Later, we captured those sharks and learned from them that it was the man who told the secret..."
"Those believers and slaves want to sacrifice the entire Orange Island, including us. They say this will make Poseidon very happy, but they can't explain why Poseidon is happy."
"Every time we ask, they will say, don't try to speculate on the thoughts of the gods, so we know very little about the sea god."
"However, what is certain is that it is indeed coveting everything on Orange Island..."
After listening to the Jelly King's explanation, Mo Ling also had a deeper understanding of the Poseidon.
However, Mo Ling has something more curious...
He looked at Jelly King and asked seriously: "Are there any books about orange light?"
The Jelly King thought for a while, walked to a hidden bookshelf, found a book, and handed it to Mo Ling.
This book has no title, just a small book like a research note.
Mo Ling eagerly opened the first page and found that what was recorded on it were the characteristics of orange light that the Jelly King had told him before.
The principle of action, range of influence, special abilities... are very clearly recorded, but there is no corresponding record of the origin of the orange light at all.
There was no other way, so Mo Ling had to continue asking the Jelly King beside him.
"Where did the orange light come from?" Hearing Mo Ling's question, the Jelly King thought for a moment and shook his head.
"Since I can remember, this orange light has existed. I really don't know where it came from, but my elders told me that a long, long time ago, the world was black, and there was no light at that time..."
"A tragic war broke out in the original place of residence. Our ancestors fled to Orange Island to avoid the war, and then..."
"Suddenly one day, the sky lit up, and the sea was filled with orange light spots. Those light spots gradually merged with the sea, and then rushed to the shore with the waves."
"The orange light replaced the darkness and brought about 'differences'. At that time, there was unrest on Orange Island because of the arrival of that light..."
Speaking of this, the Jelly King suddenly stopped, and seemed not to want to continue.
"What's wrong?" Mo Ling asked in confusion.
The Jelly King hesitated for a while, walked to the corner, pushed open a bookshelf directly, and then took out a book from behind the bookshelf.
"This is a record of the turmoil..."
Mo Ling was stunned and took the book. He didn't understand why the book was hidden.
Could it be that this book recorded something that could not be known by outsiders?
Mo Ling looked at the cover of the book curiously.
Then, he was surprised to find that he couldn't understand the words on it!
Since meeting the Jelly King, there has been no problem in the communication between the two. Even the books in the Jelly Library can be easily read by Mo Ling. The compilation of Orange Light can make everything "understandable", although this "understanding" is distorted and modified...
But this book, Mo Ling can't understand it at all, and can't even read it, because he doesn't know the language used in this book at all.
The Jelly King on the side looked at the book, his lips moved slightly, and he said a vague and unclear speech:
"This is the Iaukgnaf language..."
