Chapter 27 The God of Knowledge
Chapter 27 The God of Knowledge
==================
The carriage bumped.
Arthur sat upright and well-behaved, but his eyes were fixed on him, it was dark and deep, which made people feel inexplicably guilty.
Lin Qiao hesitated.
Arthur looked calm on his face, thinking in his heart: Let's kill that eye-catching person.
He doesn't like Andy.
Part of this dislike is due to the aura of the God of Light on Andy, and part of it is because Lin Qiao is too concerned.
Arthur's ideas were simple and crude.
As long as Andy is killed, Jojo will only have him in his heart.
Just when he was seriously considering the feasibility of this matter, a shadow covered his eyes, and then his cheek softened.
Arthur's thoughts were fragmented, and he only stared blankly at Lin Qiao who was close at hand.
The boy's eyelashes are curled up, as thick as a small fan, and they are fluttering uneasily and shyly.His lips were soft and had a sweet breath.
This feeling is like slicing a green apple, spreading a layer of butter cheese, and slowly baking in the oven.
Until the apples are baked until they are slightly yellow and soft, exuding the aroma of milk and caramel.
Before Arthur had time to taste it, Lin Qiao had already sat back in his seat, his eyes wandering, a little embarrassed.
Arthur: "Jojo..."
Lin Qiao: "Huh?"
Arthur: "Your face is red."
Lin Qiao: "..."
It's not normal if it's not red, okay?
He looked away, not wanting to give Arthur another chance.
But Arthur was very persistent, and asked persistently, "Jojo, why are you ignoring me?"
"Jojo, are you angry?"
"Jojo..."
Never thought that Arthur, who can't even speak well, would become a chatterbox one day.
For a while, the carriage was filled with the words "Jojo".
Lin Qiao couldn't bear it anymore: "Arthur!"
Arthur blinked blankly.
Lin Qiao: "I'm tired."
Arthur pointedly pointed out: "Didn't you just wake up?"
Lin Qiao: "...I'm sleepy again."
In order to prevent Arthur from continuing to ask any strange questions, he quickly closed his eyes.
He pretended to be asleep, but his mind was thinking of other things.
Like Arthur, it seems that it is not a difficult thing to accept.
Arthur was so good-looking and well-behaved, it was not surprising that he fell in love with him.
Lin Qiao always thought that Arthur was a fledgling plot to him, but after thinking about it carefully,
When he came to this world, he was at a loss, survived among a bunch of heretics, and was sent to the Lord of the Abyss as a sacrifice.
Arthur, it was he who met a non-threatening person, and it was Arthur who gave him a new connection with the world.
It doesn't matter if it's a demon.
Anyway, he is not as superstitious as people in this world, nor is he afraid of demons because of some rumors.
After thinking about it, Lin Qiao really fell into a deep sleep.
……
He dreamed of that man again.
The man with wings on his back, a snake tail hanging behind him, and a black goat horn on his head.
The man was suspended in the air by countless chains, his head was lowered, and his expression could not be seen clearly.There are pitch-black scales all over his body, like a god and a demon.
Probably because she knew she was dreaming, Lin Qiao was not afraid of this man, but walked up to him.
The snake-like tail swam up again, retracted its sharp scales, and gently wrapped around Lin Qiao's ankle.
Lin Qiao laughed: "It's so itchy..."
The tail slowly rubbed against each other. It was obviously a ferocious and weird thing, but it was extraordinarily docile, making people think of a puppy.
Anyway, I was dreaming.
Thinking of this, Lin Qiao stretched out his hand tentatively, and stroked the tail.
It was exactly as expected.
The tail is cold, and the scales on it are hard, like some kind of sharp weapon. While walking, the scales are shining with colorful black.
The white and soft fingertips rubbed the scales.
Obviously the man was still sleeping, but his tail was extremely excited, patting the ground non-stop, and the tip of the tail was wrapped around Lin Qiao's fingers, rubbing them affectionately.
Lin Qiao became curious about this dream.
Dreaming for the first time can be said to be a coincidence.
The second time is "inevitable".
He raised his head and looked at the sleeping man: "Are you a god?"
In this world where gods really exist, being dreamed by gods is not a particularly strange thing.
But... which god is this?
First exclude the goddess of the moon and the goddess of fertility who are female gods.
Then it seems that this one doesn't look like the god of wealth in charge of business and money; without fins and tails, he is not the god of the sea...
Lin Qiaosi thought about it, but she didn't guess which god it was.
Unable to figure it out, he simply put the question to the back of his mind, muttering to himself: "Anyway, I don't believe in God."
The man did not respond, half of his body was hidden in the darkness, and his appearance and expression could not be seen clearly.
Lin Qiao was a little tired from watching, so he simply sat down cross-legged.
The tail didn't look out at all, wrapped around his waist, put the tip of the tail on his shoulders, and rubbed against his shoulder socket from time to time.
The skin on the shoulder socket was very tender, and the cold scales passed by, bringing a numb itching.
Lin Qiao caught the restless tail.
The tail twisted a bit, but finally it stayed safely in the palm of the hand.
Lin Qiao really likes this tail.
To be precise, he likes reptiles like snakes and lizards, which are cold and powerful, covered with beautiful and sharp lines.
But it is difficult to touch in daily life, and can only be viewed in the zoo through the glass wall.
He touched the scales and said to himself: "Actually, Arthur is quite good..."
The originally lazy tail suddenly became excited, and the fine scales opened and closed, as if eavesdropping.
Lin Qiao murmured: "Well...the main thing is that Arthur is good-looking. It doesn't matter if he is a devil, as long as he is good-looking."
Tail nodded, as if agreeing with the statement.
Seeing this appearance, Lin Qiao patted the tip of his tail: "What do you know?"
The tip of the tail hung down in aggrieved way.
Lin Qiao stretched out two fingers and kneaded it, then sighed again: "But..."
The tail shook tentatively, as if asking: But what?
Because it was a dream, Lin Qiao didn't have so many worries, so he just said what he wanted to say: "However, Arthur doesn't understand anything, so he always feels a little bit guilty."
Arthur looks like a young man, but in fact he is ignorant and knows nothing.
What if the fledgling plot is just misunderstood as "like"?
What if you regret it later?
Lin Qiao was conflicted and upset, and unconsciously pinched the tip of his tail with his hands.
"Forget it." Finally he gave up, "I can do whatever I want."
Carpe Diem.
Living in the moment.
What are you thinking about so much?
If Arthur really misunderstood, or regretted it, it would be fine for the two to separate.
Besides, the outside is so dangerous now, and all kinds of gods are running around, maybe when he will be caught by the Lord of the Abyss, he will eat it in one bite?
Lin Qiao: Swing!
He let go of the tip of his tail, stood up, and was about to say something, when suddenly his eyes flashed, and he saw a ray of bright golden light emerging from the darkness.
The man has golden eyes.
The pupils stood up, like flowing amber resin.
Lin Qiao seemed to be bewitched, and subconsciously walked forward.
Before he could see clearly, he woke up from the dream.
Opening his eyes, he saw the familiar roof of the carriage.
He sat up with one hand and looked out the window.
The carriage stopped smoothly at the corner of the street, the crowd on the side of the road was noisy, and figures passed by one after another.
Lin Qiao asked, "How long have I been asleep?"
Arthur snapped his fingers and calculated seriously: "A day and a half."
Lin Qiao scratched her messy hair: "Why is it taking so long?"
Maybe it was because he had slept for too long, but he was still dizzy and tired.Pressing his neck and twisting it, he asked again, "Have you arrived at Wangcheng?"
Arthur shook his head.
Lin Qiao: "No, or don't know?"
Arthur: "I don't know."
Lin Qiao guessed that Arthur would not know, so he simply opened the car door and got in.
A man who looked like a servant stood beside the carriage, and when he saw Lin Qiao coming down, he went up to meet him.
Lin Qiao asked, "Where is this place?"
The attendant replied: "This is Domic City."
Lin Qiao thought about it carefully and came to a conclusion: I have never heard of it.
"How far is it from the royal city?"
Attendant: "It's far away."
Lin Qiao was silent.
It is really listening to what you say, like listening to what you say.It's all nonsense.
Lin Qiao thought for a while, then asked, "Where is Knight Commander Andy?"
Judging from the ruts, the carriage has been parked here for some time.
The team looked very anxious before, why are they not in a hurry now?
What did the attendant ask and what did he answer: "Knight Commander Andy is leaving for the royal city first."
Lin Qiao: "Huh?"
The attendant said that because he was attacked by Feng Rao Priest on the way, he was worried that something might happen again, so Knight Commander Andy left the team and set off with light clothes, so that he could reach the king city faster.
And the rest of the team can naturally slow down and stop rushing.
Lin Qiao touched the tip of his nose.
It's just a fertility priest, is it so scary?
He thought about it again, Feng Rao Priest is not scary, what is scary is that Feng Rao Priest died inexplicably.In the eyes of others, there must be a more powerful enemy hidden in the dark, so Andy decided to go on the road alone.
However, this has little to do with Lin Qiao, as long as he can go to Wangcheng.
"How long are we going to be here?" he asked.
The attendant gave the answer: "Princess Dolly is going to attend the ball tonight. After the ball is over, I will start again."
After Lin Qiao asked clearly, he got back into the carriage and sat opposite Arthur.His eyes flickered, and he lowered his head to look seriously at the patterns on the soles of his feet.
The space in the carriage is narrow, and with a slight movement, you can bump into each other.
It was okay to have been sleeping just now, but now that I woke up, I didn't know what to say, so I couldn't help but look a little embarrassed.
Lin Qiao moved her fingers uneasily, and said hesitantly, "Arthur..."
Arthur responded quickly: "I'm here."
Lin Qiao: "Do you want to go out for a stroll?"
Without thinking, Arthur said, "I'll follow Jojo."
Lin Qiao wanted to say something, but held back: "Then let's go and have a look."
He was about to get out of the carriage when he saw an attendant coming over and said, "Princess Dolly invites you to the evening banquet."
Lin Qiao felt that meeting this Princess Dolly would be nothing good.
The last time he was asked to go to the village with the clergy for medical treatment, he met Feng Rao Priest inexplicably. If it wasn't for Arthur, he didn't know if he would come back with his life.
Let him go to the banquet again this time... It doesn't look like he really wants to go.
But the next step is to go with Princess Dolly, so it's not good to refuse like this, so I still have to go.
But in the blink of an eye, Lin Qiao's mind had already turned a few corners, and finally nodded to the attendant: "Okay, I understand."
……
The dinner party was held at the City Lord's Mansion.
The carriages passing by are magnificent, and the ladies who come down are all wearing wide skirts and combing gorgeous hairstyles.
Lin Qiao looked outside for a while, thinking that it was a banquet for nobles, but after entering, she realized that it was not that simple.
Because, people from the Holy Court of Light have also come.
Those priests were wearing white robes, raised their jaws high, and looked very disdainful towards the nobles.
In this continent, the power of theocracy is subtly higher than the power of kings, so the clergy have always looked down on nobles.
Of course, the king and the nobles still have to show some face.
Lin Qiao paused for a moment, wanting to take another look.
As a result, a voice immediately sounded from the side: "Jojo..."
Lin Qiao turned his head.
Arthur's face was full of grievances: "Don't watch."
Lin Qiao had no choice but to say, "I don't know how to believe in the God of Light, so it's okay to see."
Arthur said clearly: "No."
Lin Qiao: "Okay, okay, then don't watch it."
Arthur was so insecure that there was really nothing he could do.
Lin Qiao walked past a group of light believers without turning his eyes and came to the banquet hall.He was not a nobleman of Domic City, and he didn't want to have a relationship with those nobles, so he hid aside as soon as he entered.
The banquet is in the form of a buffet, and the dishes are placed on long tables.
Lin Qiao picked up the plate and picked up some desserts that looked good.
He returned with a full load and put a plateful of desserts in Arthur's hand.
Arthur held it in his hands, watching blankly.
Lin Qiao felt that such a stupid and stupid Arthur was very cute, so he picked up a bright red berry and stuffed it into his mouth.
Arthur said "no".
Lin Qiao: "How is it, is it delicious?"
Arthur's reaction was half a beat slow, and after a while, he nodded slowly.
Lin Qiao: "Then you take it, and I'll get some more."
Before the words fell, Lin Qiao got into the crowd again.
Arthur locked on the slender figure, his nose moved slightly.
He smelled a strange breath.
The breath of the God of Light is annoying.
The Goddess of Plenty is disgusting.
And this is an indescribable feeling.
Arthur lowered his eyes.
Quietly, strands of darkness separated from the shadows, wandering in all directions, looking for the source of the breath.
……
Lin Qiao came to the dessert table again, just picked up a donut poured with chocolate sauce, before putting it on the plate, he heard a strange sound from below.
He bowed his head.
"Hello, sir." A small face raised up, and he greeted politely.
It was a little girl who was less than one meter tall. She tried to stand on tiptoe, and she was just as tall as the dessert table.
The little girl was obviously so small, but she was wearing a brown cloak pretending to be mature, and she was holding a book about her height.
"Hello, can you get me a donut too?" said the little girl. "It would be even better with some chocolate and berry jam."
Of course Lin Qiao would not refuse, picked up a donut - filled with chocolate and berry jam - and handed it to the little girl.
The little girl took it carefully, took a gentle bite, and narrowed her eyes happily: "I can guarantee that you can't find such a sweet taste in any book."
Lin Qiao: What a strange adjective.
The little girl gnawed on the donut earnestly, and as if she remembered something, she said, "Thank you, sir, I'm Alice."
Reciprocity, Lin Qiao also introduced himself: "Joe Flynn."
Alice nodded: "I see, Joe."
After finishing the conversation, Lin Qiao took the dessert and returned to Arthur's side.
The music is melodious and the lights are bright.
On the dance floor, the ladies and their partners dance lightly on the beautiful clothes and shadows on the temples.
Soon, the protagonist of the banquet appeared.
Princess Dolly stood on the stage of the venue, and the people standing below applauded enthusiastically.
Reserved and elegant, Princess Dolly began to speak with the pride of the royal family.What, thank you all for coming to today's banquet. It is a gift from the God of Light to be able to stand here together...
Lin Qiao listened for a while, and commented: "It's smelly and long."
Lin Qiao felt that Princess Dolly would not notice him, so she took Arthur to the garden outside.
There were clumps of roses blooming in the garden.
Rose petals scarlet, prickly.
Dangerous and beautiful.
Lin Qiao admired it for a while, and suddenly heard someone calling him.
"—Joe."
Lin Qiao thought it was Arthur, and subconsciously responded.
Looking back, there was a sudden blur in front of my eyes. I didn't see Arthur, but met a bright white light.
He closed his eyes subconsciously.
The white light dissipated, and the scene in front of me gradually became clearer.
He was no longer in the garden, but in a library.
The library roads are criss-crossed and complicated, with towering vaults and densely packed books on both sides, like a maze.
Lin Qiao looked at the weird scene in front of him, his heart was not fluctuating, and he even wanted to laugh a little.
He knew something was going to go wrong.
Now that he has gained experience, he did not act rashly, but stood still and waited.
Wait for Arthur.
Or, wait for the people behind the scenes to show up.
Lin Qiao was sure that there was no danger for the time being, so she turned sideways and took out a book from the bookshelf beside her.
"Resonance Research on Magic Core and Elements"
can't read.
Get another one.
Biology: Postpartum Care for Warcraft
Come again!
"How to Create a Religion from Scratch"
Lin Qiao looked around. The books in this library covered various fields, and they were not classified into categories, but placed in a mess on the bookshelves.
He put the book back.
At this time, a thick and melodious voice echoed in the library: "Joe Flynn, welcome to the palace of the God of Knowledge."
Lin Qiao muttered, "I don't really want to come."
The voice laughed: "Haha, I've always been curious about you, so I resorted to a little trick to invite you over. Please don't mind my recklessness."
Lin Qiao: "What if I say you mind?"
The voice said humorously, "Then I can only pretend I don't know."
Lin Qiao: "..."
The person speaking should be a middle-aged man, and he speaks a fluent retroflex: "Oh, you are different from what I imagined. I thought, you should be stronger and braver."
Lin Qiao looked down at his thin and white arm, and felt that this person should be able to communicate, so he said, "What are you asking me to do?"
That person: "A guest."
Lin Qiao: "I'm done, you've seen me too, can you let me go?"
That person: "I'm really sorry, no. I see from the ocean of knowledge that if you let you out, you will be in big trouble."
Lin Qiao said calmly, "If you don't let me go out, you will be in big trouble."
He believed Arthur would find it.
The voice in the dark seemed to see through Lin Qiao's thoughts: "Without the invitation of knowledge, no one can enter the palace of knowledge."
Lin Qiao's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained calm.
The voice fell silent.
Lin Qiao felt that he could no longer be so passive, so he changed his mind and directly stretched out his hand to forcefully push down the bookshelf beside him.
wow-
Stacks of books fell to the ground, and the bookshelves fell apart, leaving a blank area.
He wants to use this method to find the exit of the maze.
The voice sounded again: "Please don't be so rude, even if you knock down all the bookshelves, you won't be able to find the exit. This is the palace of knowledge, the realm of the gods, and it has its own rules."
In the blink of an eye.
The books on the ground flew up, and the collapsed bookshelves were erected again, returning to their original state.
Lin Qiao: "What rules?"
The voice seemed unable to refuse to answer the question, and said dawdly, "Well... this is the temple of knowledge, as long as you leave a book that is not in the temple, you can leave."
"Of course, it's difficult. Because the Palace of Knowledge has existed for thousands of years, every printed book can be found here."
"I can guarantee that there are none of the books in your head that I haven't seen."
Lin Qiao: "Really? I don't believe it."
The voice: "Just say the title of the book."
In the dark, a pair of eyes looked down on Lin Qiao.
He... or rather he.
In the eyes of the gods, Lin Qiao is a variable in this world. In order to control this variable, the God of Knowledge decided to lock Lin Qiao in this vast palace of knowledge.
Since the rule of "leaving" a book was established, no one can leave the Temple of Knowledge.
He is very confident.
This boy looked less than 20 years old, even for human beings, he was an immature age.
What kind of books can I read after only living for such a short time?
He can guarantee that all the books in this world are stored in the Hall of Knowledge, and none of them are missing.
The God of Knowledge proudly said: "Give up, you can't find a book that I haven't read."
Lin Qiao raised his chin, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes: "I can."
The God of Knowledge doesn’t believe it: “You say it.”
Lin Qiao: "If you tell me to say it, will I just say it?"
God of Knowledge: "Why don't you say it?"
Lin Qiao: "Because only I know this book. Knowledge is priceless. I can't tell you so easily."
The God of Knowledge whispered: "Knowledge is priceless... I like this sentence." He silently wrote down this sentence and prepared to add it to the teachings.
Lin Qiao said abruptly, "Would you like to make a bet?"
It was the first time that the God of Knowledge met a human being who dared to bet with God, and asked curiously, "What bet?"
Lin Qiao raised three fingers: "If I win, you answer three questions for me."
The God of Knowledge said proudly, "I know everything." He paused, and then asked, "What if you lose?"
Lin Qiao: "If I lose, I will stay here."
The God of Knowledge felt that this was a bet that he could not lose at all, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay. Now, you can name the book."
