Chapter 137 Myth and History
It feels wonderful to be in the sea of books, and the fragrance of books will naturally give people a sense of tranquility. What's more, this is the largest library in the pirate world.
Some people read books here, but there are not many people compared to the environment here.
The tree of omniscient was hollowed out as a library. What's amazing is that the tree itself did not die and is still growing actively.
Xuan wanders aimlessly, basically you can find any book you want here. The premise is related to the local Pirate World...
The most numerous are the records about the pirates and their legendary stories.
Archaeologists are a group of stubborn people. The persistence of pursuing history is naturally to record everything, and pirates themselves are part of the world's greatest history.
Xuan was not interested in those heroic deeds. He didn't know how many of the strongest pirates he had seen, so he went straight to deeper.
There are no fewer books here than the ones before, but there are obviously not many people. A simple glance at them shows that there are records of various knowledge and the scattered history of various kingdoms.
In this world, the relationship between knowledge and power is even weaker. The best way to gain power is to practice all kinds of domineeringly and a devil fruit. As for calming down and learning various knowledge, you will be regarded as a fool.
Most of the people who come here to study also have the mentality of leaving after playing.
Xuan casually pulled out a book and opened two pages. This was a record of the destruction of the kingdom. It was once a powerful country in the West Sea, which was destroyed about two hundred years after the establishment of the world government.
The reason for the destruction is that the world government said it was a tsunami, and due to the long-term relationship, there is no re-examination.
The book records many customs and customs about the country at that time, but many places are vague, and may not even be completely clear about the author.
After roughly reading it, Xuan put the book back to its original place. According to the final statement, the author personally set up a boat to sea in order to investigate the original ruins of the kingdom. Finally, the boat capsized on the sea and was rescued by a pirate, and then successfully arrived at the ruins of the kingdom.
Step... Step...
A slight footsteps sounded, and an elder came from a distance. He watched Xuan put the book back and whispered, "Now there are not many young people who are interested in the history of these destruction kingdoms."
"Not now, there will not be too many people who are interested in such boring words in any era." Xuan replied directly without looking back.
This old man thoughts like he was very insightful, but he was not interested in any archaeological research.
Unexpectedly, Xuan said this, the old man was stunned, and then smiled bitterly, "Yes, you are right... But after all, someone will have to pass on the truth. Even if no one cares about it, it is history."
"Just be happy." Xuan wanted to say that, but he still held back after thinking about it. He should maintain the minimum respect for the elders.
"Is myth history?" Xuan asked.
The old man said in surprise, "How can myths be considered history?"
Xuan smiled and turned around, "Why can't it be counted?"
"Stories that are not even recorded in words are full of strange colors. How could that kind of thing be history!"
Xuan's smile became deeper, "You mean, only written records can be called history? Then how do you be sure that these records are true? Human arrogance comes from its own ignorance and insignificance. Perhaps myths are really historical events that happened in the distant past, but that far away is so complete that even the words and evidence are completely annihilated in the long river."
Xuan turned around and walked in the other direction, "How can you be sure that one day in the future will not become a myth? In fact, it is very simple. You only need to completely annihilate the traces of the existence of the entire civilization, and in the next era, someone will say the same thing to you."
Looking at Xuan Jian's figure moving away, the old man showed a confused look.
...
That is, when Xuan was visiting the Quanzhi Tree Library, in another room on the island, a man roared loudly, "Robin, where have you been going again? If you don't mop the floor clean, you will not have your supper today."
"Yes...yes uncle!"
Because of being too tired, the dark brown-skinned luoli leaned against the corner of the wall and was half asleep and half awake. She only had a simple single clothes on her body. The weather was already autumn, but the temperature on the island had begun to drop, so this kind of clothes was not enough to help her keep the cold.
My whole body is dirty and there is no care at first glance. My thin body looks like it is caused by long-term malnutrition. I look less than seven years old, because I should enjoy the warmth of my family.
When she heard the man's call, she subconsciously responded and immediately stood up. Because she knew that if she didn't prove that she was not lazy at the first time, the result would be no more than supper. Maybe she would have to spend the night outside tonight.
And in this season, spending overnight is extremely difficult.
Bang!
A crisp sound rang out, and the young Robin looked at the broken vase in front of him in a daze, and gradually fear appeared in her eyes.
Run... This was the first thought that came out of her.
The man named her uncle, the woman she called her aunt, never felt any concern and warmth in the two of them, and her status here was even worse than that of the servants.
She even suspected that the reason why she was not kicked out was because the two of them didn't have to do housework every day.
She was not intentionally broken the vase. She was tired and hungry. Every piece of black bread could not afford her growth. Her hands were even trembling when wiping the vase.
But these are not the key. The key is that the vase is broken now. In the eyes of her aunt, her existence is not even as good as an ordinary bowl, let alone the vase in front of her.
In fear, a man had already appeared on the corner of the wall, and that was her uncle...
“Hu…hu…”
