I Forged the Myth of the Ancient Overlords
Chapter 651 - 651 650.Library_1

Chapter 651: 650.Library_1 Chapter 651: 650.Library_1 “Are all the natives of Splendid Realm this large in size?”

Lu Ban turned his head to ask Charlotte.

“You could tell by looking, couldn’t you?”

Charlotte didn’t directly answer Lu Ban’s question, but came to the platform, in front of what seemed to be a huge billboard.

The size of this object was of course exaggerated; even if Lu Ban looked up, he couldn’t clearly see the whole thing.

Moreover, the board was purely marble-like gray without any text or patterns.

Charlotte stepped into the air, her high heels even making crisp footsteps sounds in this situation.

Lu Ban just stood on the ground, looking up at Charlotte’s figure.

As for what was underneath her skirt, Lu Ban didn’t pay attention.

“Oh, I almost forgot.”

As if remembering something, a few vine-like tentacles, slimy yet rough, stretched out from beneath the cheongsam’s hem towards Lu Ban and lifted him up.

Lu Ban was once again glad that he hadn’t rashly tried to peek under someone else’s skirt.

In the Foreign Domain, underneath a girl’s skirt might truly be something indescribable.

Once lifted, Lu Ban finally managed to see this board.

Of course, there was still no text on it.

“You, touch this thing,” Charlotte ordered.

Lu Ban remained unmoving.

“Uh, I would if you’d allow me to get close enough,” he indicated that his current position being hoisted by the tentacles beneath Charlotte’s skirt was at a certain distance from the board, and it was definitely impossible for him to reach with his hand.

Charlotte said nothing, and the tentacles swiftly swung him around.

Slap—

Lu Ban was thrown onto the board, very much like the way one might angrily slam a phone onto the table during an argument.

Except, in this analogy, Lu Ban was the phone.

Lu Ban’s face was pressed against the board, and a burning sensation spread from the point of contact. Lu Ban suddenly found that what had been a marble-like smooth surface was becoming rough. His hands groped over the board, faintly touching some indentations.

Of course, these indentations themselves were larger than his palm, so it felt more like undulations.

“Not bad,” Charlotte commented, and then pulled Lu Ban back.

This time, Lu Ban saw what had happened.

Many inscriptions had appeared on the surface of that marble-like board.

Lu Ban didn’t recognize these characters; he wasn’t some master of Foreign Domain literature.

At this time, the system of the Silent Lands was also unreliable and nowhere to be seen. Lu Ban really wished Feng Yu was here so she could translate it.

“What are these?”

The inquisitive Lu Ban then asked.

“Records,” Charlotte replied without hiding anything, probably because Lu Ban couldn’t understand them anyway.

“Records?”

Lu Ban looked at the inscriptions etched onto the board, knowing of course that they were records, but the main point was what content was on them.

“Only the text engraved in stone can persist the longest,” Charlotte uttered thoughtfully, then continued.

“This is the library of Splendid Realm.”

It was a simple introduction, but Lu Ban had an epiphany.

If you talk about a library, it’s a place where books are kept, and what’s most abundant in books?

It’s knowledge.

In the Foreign Domain, knowledge is pollution, knowledge is power.

In the Foreign Domain where Lu Ban resided, the tallest and most magnificent buildings were likely to be the skyscrapers of the financial center, various commercial corporate offices, stadiums, or dams, but definitely not a library.

Because the people in the Foreign Domain Lu Ban resided in still didn’t know what in this world was truly the most precious.

In the Splendid Realm, however, its inhabitants had already realized that knowledge was the real power, and they had built this gigantic and magnificent library precisely to showcase their knowledge.

It was also possible that they did so to imprison the pollution here, allowing only specific individuals to come into contact with it.

At this thought, Lu Ban suddenly discovered something.

It was after he had touched it that the words had appeared here.

And Charlotte had also asked him to touch this thing.

Could it be said that he himself was the key to unlocking this library?

Or perhaps, humans were the key to unlocking this place?

Now Charlotte could read the records, while Lu Ban, who was responsible for opening the door, couldn’t understand the writing on it at all.

Rounding up, was he simply a bystander?

This was tolerable, but there’s a limit to everything.

Lu Ban made a sound.

“What does this say?”

“Are you sure you want to hear?”

Charlotte looked at Lu Ban with suspicion.

“After you hear what’s on here, you might go directly insane, lose your sanity, and become a monster, you know?”

Her tone was like that of an uncle who tries to spook children.

“Since I’ve come all this way, wouldn’t it be a loss if I didn’t hear something?”

Lu Ban argued logically.

He seemed to have roughly figured out the character of this woman.

Charlotte, an entity of her level, truly didn’t care about the life or death of one such as Lu Ban, and Lu Ban’s actions posed no threat to her, or rather, while Lu Ban was alive, she could easily crush him to death, and if Lu Ban died, she could also resurrect the dead so that he could be pulled up and put back to work.

The Ancient Overlord’s bone-crushing marrow-sucking ways were evident in every aspect.

Given that, Charlotte’s communication with Lu Ban was purely out of personal interest.

Just like one’s own house cat, many people also talk to their cats, regardless of whether the other side understands or not, after all, they want to speak.

Perhaps, Lu Ban guessed, Charlotte said that her avatar, then as for the Ancient Overlord or the Outer Gods themselves, might also inherently enjoy communicating.

So, Lu Ban believed that Charlotte should satisfy his request.

For the Ancient Overlords, there was no such thing as precious time; what they had in abundance was time itself.

“It says here are the rules of the Science Academy Library, do not take books out of the library, do not touch books beyond one’s access level…”

Charlotte read them to Lu Ban seriously.

It sounded like the common library rules, not much different from what Lu Ban knew.

To say that this could lead to mental breakdown, Lu Ban was rather skeptical.

“This is all that’s written here?”

Lu Ban asked.

“Yes.”

Charlotte nodded.

“Why do the words here need me to touch them to appear?”

Lu Ban thought since he was asking, he might as well ask a few more questions.

“It’s simple, because this place requires the biological information of the people from the Splendid Realm to identify, the Splendid Realm possesses advanced technology, and as the technological core of the Science Academy Library, it has the strongest confidentiality, allowing only people of corresponding level to access the corresponding knowledge.”

Charlotte said lightly.

“Oh, I see, that’s indeed very convenient.”

Lu Ban nodded in agreement.

Then, he suddenly looked at the words again, then at Charlotte, a realization dawning on him.

“Wait a moment, if this place requires the biological information of the people from the Splendid Realm, what does it have to do with my touching it?”

Charlotte glanced at Lu Ban and did not answer.
