Chapter 63 Inhuman Knowledge
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but the remains of the bearded man seemed to emit a faint blue glow. Chen Ke originally thought it was the reflection of the candlestick in his hand, but when he extinguished the candlestick, he found that the glow on the remains still did not dissipate.
“Holy relic?”
Thinking so, Chen Ke gently walked around the long table and approached the remains of Hu Changzi. He hesitated for a moment, but couldn’t help but reach out to touch the faint glow on the remains.
…………
“Master Giles… I’m going to say goodbye to you today…”
The orange candlelight illuminated a corner of the kraft paper, and the quill pen that was writing something stopped immediately.
Giles raised his head and looked at the most proud student in front of him, without saying a word.
“I know… I know… This is no longer the temple of knowledge…”
Giles nodded while continuing to write, and the quill pen made a rustling sound on the kraft paper.
“We should not become the black hand of the Pope to tamper with history.”
The young man turned and left, leaving this sentence before leaving.
The door slammed shut, and the candlelight flickered.
Giles stopped writing, crumpled up the brown paper that he had written most of, and threw it into a corner.
"Your Majesty, oh, Your Majesty... wake up quickly..."
He muttered to himself, turned a new page, and started writing again...
…………
"The lost sanity is being replaced by the service life."
"-5 hours"
Chen Ke came back to his senses and felt a crazy thing pouring into his mind, as if a person's nearly a hundred years of knowledge had been poured into his head at this moment. The countdown to his life was rapidly decreasing. He staggered, took a few steps back, leaned on the bookshelf, and a few lines of small words were jumping rapidly in the corners of his eyes.
"Obtained: Giles's knowledge"
"Knowledge list:"
"Van Hede Kingdom"
"Granted by: Giles, the Grand Master of the Kingdom Library"
"Add related sacred memory related information"
Chen Ke calmed his breath, closed his eyes and brewed for a long time before suppressing an inexplicable panic and tension. His eyes swept over the candlestick in his left hand, and the information box actually had a large piece of content.
[Glowing Black Ring Candlestick]
[Durability: Intact]
[Mystical attribute enhancement: Arcane power increased by 20%, illusion range increased by 20%, magic duration increased by 20%]
[Mental resistance: The holder increases the ability to resist rational attacks by 70%] (Cannot be triggered: Intelligence loss)

[The candlestick used by the priests of the Black Ring Church, those who hold the Black Ring doctrine in mind, will dispel the fire of darkness. ]
[The Kingdom of Vanhede is suffering from an incurable dark disease. The wandering priest Mazwell relieved the symptoms of the old king Vanhede with magic that he had never seen before. He was deeply trusted by him and established the Black Ring Church in the Kingdom of Vanhede. ]
He then looked at the igniting broadsword in his right hand.
[Fire-Starting Broadsword]
[Durability: General]
[Flame: Damage converted to elements after igniting flames]
[Ignite: Flame effect can last forever when there are combustibles]
[No matching knowledge]
It seems that the memory of the corpse just now, along with his knowledge, was absorbed by me, expanding the available information in my life file. Not only the monster affixes, but now I can actually draw out the memory information of the memory inheritors based on the holy objects.
But the price is also amazing, almost half of the lifespan is used to resist the loss of sanity caused by the knowledge absorption process.
The candlestick was dropped by Chen Ke when he killed the monster wolf in this great void, so he can see the relevant information. But this fire-starting broadsword is held by the management bureau agent Violet, and it is obviously from other great voids.
So, the great void is different from the great void?
It seems that Chen Ke's understanding of this world is not comprehensive enough, and he takes it for granted. He naturally thinks that since it is the Great Void, it is of course another world. But when things like "time paradox" and "parallel universe" are thrown in his face one after another, he no longer dares to think about this world with his previous knowledge.
He took out his Nokia E63 again, opened his notebook, and wrote down his insights and discoveries about the Great Void.
"Through the knowledge obtained and the induction of the holy information, it can be judged that there are multiple Great Voids, each of which is a separate world."
"The Great Void has some kind of time confusion and stagnation effect. The seemingly intact bookshelves and books will turn into ashes after being touched. The intruder seems to be able to break the time stagnation effect here, which needs further observation."
After putting the Nokia E63 into the backpack, Chen Ke's pants were almost dry. He looked at the double door at the other end and strode over.
If it is true as the message engraved on the mountain wall said, the team of the Si Consortium should have come to this library, and they cannot not touch the things here.
However, it seems that nothing has changed here. Either they really didn't touch it... or it was restored to its original state not long after they touched it.
But these are not the key points. Chen Ke knew that since they had been here, they must have passed through the door and moved deeper into the building.
He tried to turn the handle of the wooden door and suddenly laughed. Given the current sense of the times in this place, it was impossible for a door lock to appear, so he tried to push it instead.
The wooden door made a strange creaking sound, and fine dust fell from the crack of the door. Then, Chen Ke pushed the door open completely with force.
A cold wind blew in his face, and a circular staircase exposed outside the mountain wall appeared in front of Chen Ke. As far as he could see, the Kingdom of Vanhede under the cliff was in full view. This library was actually built in the mountain wall.
Chen Ke did not dare to get too close to the handrail of the spiral staircase, fearing that the wooden white carved guardrail would turn into ashes when he touched it, causing him to fall off the cliff, so he walked down carefully along the inside.
When he walked halfway up the spiral staircase, he found an ancient bronze bell exposed in another part of the mountain wall. He looked up at the mountain wall behind him and found the platform path where he had defeated the monster wolf before more than a hundred meters away.
It seems that this is the church built in the mountain wall that he had seen before, and the library is only a part of the church.
Chen Ke went down the spiral staircase and soon walked into the mountain wall. There were carved candlesticks on the pillars of the spiral staircase, which were used for lighting. However, the candlesticks were empty at this time. He couldn't help but imagine the scene when the place was still normal, when the priests went to the library under the dim candlelight.
This spiral staircase was quite long. Looking at the life countdown in the corner of his eyes, Chen Ke took at least 1 minute to complete this distance. The second half was completely surrounded by the dark mountain wall. If there was no lighting, ordinary people would easily suffer from claustrophobia...
Chen Ke originally used a black ring candlestick for lighting, but the blue light was too creepy in this environment. In the end, he still lit the fire-starting broadsword. At least, the orange-yellow flame made people feel more at ease.
Finally, he finally came to the end of the spiral staircase. There was a stone step going down. The surroundings were no longer mountain walls, but brick and stone walls. Chen Ke finally walked back into the building.
After extinguishing the fire-starting broadsword, an orange light was emitted at the end of the corridor. He hurried over and found that it led to an open nave.
