Ariel showed off her presence until she left. Ariel is also Ariel, but other people’s reactions were more overwhelming.
As if he understood all of them, he looked at Arwen with compassionate eyes or patted her on the shoulder.
I couldn’t help but laugh at the situation in which one person was turned into garbage in an instant.
Of course, Arwen was imprisoned in melancholy that day due to the rush of guilt.
There is also the fact that Ariel revealed his heart, but thinking like that felt like garbage in itself.
Anyway, Ariel and the two women returned to the Minerva Empire. I’m going to go straight back to the dorm and explain it to my father and Adelia.
I don’t know how the two of you will react, but you will be shocked. An angel, who is not of any other race, suddenly appeared.
Until then, Arwen and I will spend the rest of our time enjoying our lives.
Because Ariel ate two days due to an unexpected situation, the period is expected to be extended. The first week was too short to enjoy.
The reason I came to Albenheim was to connect with Arwen, but I want to look at various institutions.
Since the World Tree and Elodia have already been visited, all that remains is the world’s first library and ‘Holy Land’ where all the world’s books are gathered.
Today is the day I decided to visit the holy place.
“Wow······”
When I visited the holy land with Arwen, I exclaimed at the superb view that unfolded before my eyes.
In the library, quietness is the basic principle, but the appearance of the holy site was beyond imagination to the extent that I forgot even that.
A high ceiling and bookshelves that reached up to the ceiling. The bookshelves are tightly packed.
There was no musty smell characteristic of books at all, and the scent of fragrant flowers filled the inside.
This alone suited the modifier of being the largest knowledge store on earth, but what stands out more is the library floating in the air.
Perhaps he even used magic, in the holy land the size of a soccer field, there were several libraries floating in the air. It is truly a fantastic spectacle.
“If the World Tree is a blessing and a gift from God, this holy land is the pride of Albenheim.”
As I looked around the Holy Land with twinkling eyes, Arwen, who accompanied me, explained proudly.
She is now half leaning on me, and as you’ve barely noticed, her legs have little strength in the aftermath of last night.
If I lose even a little bit of strength, I’ll fall to the floor. However, you can’t stay in bed every day.
In addition, unlike the first night, it is not at all difficult to walk because it is somewhat acclimatized. I also included some restraints to promise tomorrow.
There’s nothing to notice, it’s okay to go on a date. The only downside is that the place is a library, but that’s enough.
“How are they classified?”
“First of all, it is basically classified in a cycle of 100 years. The wealthy libraries above are ancient books written when civilization was just established. However, they are written in ancient languages, so you will have to decipher them separately.”
“Oh. Anything else?”
“Your favorite history is categorized by period and by race. Only a few books have been delivered through Siris so far.”
As the explanation came out as expected, my heart pounded more and more. The floating library is pleasing to the eye, but the design itself is pretty.
Even at a rough glance, it is much larger than a soccer field, and the white design emphasizes cleanliness.
It’s been a long time, so there must be some faded parts, but none of those things are visible and all are white.
It must have been done with conservation magic. To the elves, magic was nothing more than limbs, so preservation would be easy.
“Did you design the Holy Land to make it bigger from the beginning?”
“Yes. As much as we receive God’s blessing, our elves will never be defeated by an invasion from the outside. If that happened, the world would have been destroyed sooner or later.”
“By the way, even during the Demon Wars, Albenheim kept his power, didn’t he?”
“Instead, humans and beasts made many sacrifices.”
As Arwen explained, during the Demon War, humans and beasts faithfully fulfilled their tank roles. The Dwarves desperately supported them.
That doesn’t mean that elves don’t make sacrifices. At that time, humans and beasts had a very large population due to their unique fertility, and the elves also made many sacrifices.
However, humans have only recently achieved civilization, and the beasts are living a tribal life, so they are just being cut out helplessly.
If the world tree had not been born at the right time, the terrifying hypothesis that humans and beasts would have gone extinct is prevalent among scholars.
‘But it’s quite noisy for a library.’
Before, it was said that quietness was the rule in the library, but the sacred place seems to be different. First of all, you can see people discussing in the library all over the place.
Rather than a library, it should be seen as a hall where each other’s studies and knowledge are shared. Originally, the Holy Land was an institution that only authorized personnel could enter.
At the time of the theft of the first draft, I didn’t just ask Arwen to supply the books of the Holy Land.
“How do you get that public library over there?”
“We elves can fly and bring them directly with magic. Humans like you can only ask other scholars.”
“Ah. Come to think of it, anthropologists also visit a lot? Is there any discrimination or anything like that?”
It is a prejudice that arises from being an elf and not from another race. Only scholars who have been recognized in Albenheim are allowed to enter, but humans might be more strict.
But surprisingly, Arwen shook his head in denial. She looked around and pointed to the group having a discussion.
The two elf men, who can’t tell their age, are looking in that direction… No, they’re arguing.
There were also people standing behind them, and I found something surprising here.
Humans and elves are all mixed together. When it comes to proportions, they are similar to each other, and each throws a single word.
“As you can see, there is almost no discrimination in academics. Setting a foot in the holy land means that it will be helpful to the study beyond ethnicity. So there is no discrimination.”
“That’s right. But isn’t the influence of the elves stronger? Humans have a short lifespan, so the accumulated knowledge would be significantly less than that of the elves.”
“You’re right. But there are things that humans don’t have about elves.”
“Isn’t there?”
“A shift in thinking.”
With that one word, I immediately understood. Elves have a good memory and a long lifespan, so they have a lot of accumulated knowledge, but as I mentioned before, they are quite conservative.
On the other hand, human beings are progressive and have a very strong spirit of challenge. There is also an excellent ability to learn, and as the generations pass, it is getting stronger day by day.
There is a placenta that puts life at risk, but it never stops.
“It is not uncommon for that single twinkle to shake the whole of science. The most impressive science is astronomy. The sun and the moon do not revolve around this planet, but this planet and various other planets revolve around the sun. that there is.”
“Ah. That… Huh?”
I opened my eyes and looked at Arwen. The science she mentioned is the most famous heliocentric theory among astronomy.
Thinking about it, something is strange. Given the timing, it is normal for people in this world to believe in the celestial theory more than the heliocentric theory.
However, even the professors at the academy are adopting the heliocentric theory, just like what they have learned from books.
‘Isn’t that right?’
Heliocentric theory is a science that has barely been proven in the past in the modern era. The hypothesis that Newton’s law of universal gravitation was revealed to the world and gradually revealed.
This alone is enough to surprise you, but one bigger problem remains. It is none other than the existence of ‘God’.
Luminus symbolizes the ‘sun’ of this world as much as it symbolizes light, and on the contrary, Mora symbolizes the ‘moon’.
Lastly, Hirt is the goddess of nature who symbolizes this planet itself.
Of course, Hirt has no choice but to be the center, and Luminus and Mora will have to wander around.
The biggest reason why people in this world have no choice but to firmly believe in the heliocentric theory rather than the heliocentric theory is the existence of the gods.
“If you don’t know anything else, there must have been a lot of backlash from the church? Was there any problem?”
“There were many, but too many. He was immediately executed for blasphemy. But that man did not give up his claim until the end.”
“Still, Jidong… No, did you adopt that study?”
“There was an elf scholar who dug deep into that claim. He discovered a lot after 300 years of research. Why does this planet fall vertically when it falls from top to bottom even though the world spins round and round? I can’t tell if it rotates, etc. In particular, I studied lunar and solar eclipses for 300 years and calculated the distances. As a result, everyone recognized it.”
What are all these perverted elves? I was so excited that I couldn’t say a word, but my tenacity was enough to raise my thumb.
The spirit of research without regard to the fact that the first person who claimed it was executed for blasphemy, even if he was afraid to avoid it.
Although she is a stubborn elf with a conservative mind, it seems that her unique racial characteristics have worked for the better.
I stood there with an expression that did not hide my admiration, then suddenly a question came to mind and I asked her.
“So what about theology? It seems like theology has also been turned over?”
“Symbols and scientific facts have begun to change that they should be kept separate. Even that scholar did not deny that it was the gods that supported mortals.”
“You must have fought a lot?”
“That’s why religion and science hate each other.”
It is similar to the previous life, but on a different route. In the days when science was lacking, people saw lightning in the sky and fell down saying that God had descended.
However, as science advanced and the reasons for the phenomenon were revealed one by one through scientific facts, much of it faded.
Because of this, religion has become closer to the true meaning of faith. It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not, and unlike here, there are many atheists.
However, it will be different here. The religious world and the scientific world will fight to the end even if this world is destroyed.
“The Holy Land stores knowledge that will interest you. From the science that the brain controls the organs and bodies of our body, to the fact that small beings that cannot be seen with the naked eye threaten our lives. It’s a pain in the butt that I have to do it.”
“Can I be history?”
“Fufu. That’s your answer.”
Arwen smiled weakly, saying yes to my Carl-like answer. I responded with a smile to her laughter.
In my heart, I want to read all the books of the Holy Land, but it is practically impossible. It is a library that has been passed down since the founding of Albenheim.
So, after reading all of this, I’d rather dig into my favorite history. Sometimes I go and read something else.
“Are you going to be with me too?”
“If you want, I can leave you alone for a while. I also want to read a book after a long time. Ah! You don’t have to worry about a rare attack. The use of magic is strictly prohibited in the Holy Land, and the eyes of God can reach Because.”
Then you can read it comfortably. It must be much harder than the security magic installed in the Halo Academy installed in the Holy Land.
What’s more, the presence of God’s eyes means that acts of violence are impossible. The moment you commit violence, you will be punished, not at the level of being kicked out.
I nodded at her explanation and moved on. The library with historical books is a short walk away.
“Um? Look. Is that person…”
“I think it’s true because of the red hair?
“Did you come to visit the Holy Land?”
“Well. You said you’re a scholar, so I guess you came here to research the data.”
From the moment I entered the Holy Land, the occasional sound I heard increased from before. Arwen is also Arwen, but because of this guy’s hair, he can’t help but stand out.
Still, they were all famous scholars, so they did not readily approach me. They did their own thing or continued the paused discussion.
In fact, what is normal is that people who are originally scholars do not care about their interests except for their own interests.
Especially for those who have achieved progressive achievements in their studies. Real monsters who only focus on their own research.
‘Won’t those people make a strange mistake?’
Or look at it as a study object. I proceeded towards the history museum, ignoring the gazes that had begun to pierce here and there.
As long as they have a strong shield called Arwen, there is no way for them to approach them first. In particular, they must know the reason why I came to Alvenheim.
Thinking about it made me feel more comfortable than before. For now, let’s look through history books.
“·······Oh.”
As soon as I arrived at the history-related library, the reaction that I got tired of it exploded. Even if the quantity is too much, it is too much.
In general, historical books focus on the modern and contemporary, and it is common to briefly describe the ancient to the Middle Ages.
But now look in front of me. History books are categorized in detail by period.
From books written thousands of years ago to the most recent books published.
‘It’s awesome!’
What a beautiful knowledge repository. There is not even a simple history book, but it is also classified in detail here.
Ethnicity, culture, politics, society, religion, art, science, etc.
Since the basic gist is history, it only tells how it develops and how it changes, but this alone was satisfactory enough.
I opened my mouth like an idiot and looked at the countless piles of books, then hurriedly came to my senses.
Just in case, I looked to the side and saw Arwen sticking out her chest with a proud face.
“Do you like it? These are books that you can borrow freely from now on.”
“Can I really borrow it?”
“Yes. But I hope you don’t forget to return it. Even if you are Xenon, the loss of knowledge is a sensitive issue for scholars.”
“It won’t happen. What should I read first…”
The quantity is large, but it is so diverse that it is difficult to decide which one to read first. Once the books written in ancient times pass.
Ancient books are written in ancient languages, making them almost impossible to read. If it is a translated version, this is a library full of ‘original’.
If a first draft of Xenon’s biography is possible, the ‘first edition’ will be kept. If they announce that they will keep the draft, they could even wage war against Helium.
‘I’ll have to think about where to keep the draft.’
I think it would be better to nail this part properly. It is an essential process even to prevent a fight.
“Look around. I’ll bring you a book in a minute.”
“okay.”
After that, Arwen left to look for the book, and I started to look through the book by myself.
First, let’s take a look at the most recent releases. And I realized how many books I had read.
‘Have you read most of them?’
There are only books that Siris gave me. There are no books that are missing in the Holy Land, but that means that I read them.
He had read all kinds of books because he was collecting data from Elena.
I skimmed through the recently released books and looked to the side. As it goes sideways, it was released in the past.
‘Books on tribal warfare…’
The funniest thing, though, is the race war. One of the greatest wars in history.
A history in which various opinions come and go according to viewpoints and races. It would be best to focus on racial warfare today.
‘It wasn’t recorded by human standards, but by elves… huh?’
While looking for a book, I was able to find a book that caught my eye.
The title itself was plain, but the author was familiar.
[Eiker Light Singer]
During the Tribal War, Aiker was an elf commander, but was imprisoned for violating the ‘law’.
If he had not been imprisoned, the racial war would have resulted in the elves’ victory, and at least he would not have suffered a humiliating defeat.
It was unusual for a history book written by such a hero. Even the title explores the pride characteristic of elves.
‘Is this also related to history?’
I’m interested, so I’ll have a look. I pulled the book out of the library.
The books stored in the library did not ask a single dust of whether they were managed by themselves. Anyway, I never knew there was such a book.
I grabbed the book and slowly headed towards the table. At the table, an elf who looked like a ‘Thor’ was reading, but he lightly ignored it.
Eventually, I turned the first page with anticipation…
[You f*cking bastards. I want you to look all over.]
“···········?”
A sentence full of shock, horror, and self-hatred caught my eye.
