Chapter 477 Librarian (Changed)
The library is like a quiet oasis of wisdom, with a calm and peaceful atmosphere permeating every corner, making people feel like they are in an ocean of knowledge.
Inside this grand and solemn building, the air is filled with the faint scent of ink and ancient books. The wooden bookshelves are filled with the crystallization of wisdom accumulated over the years. The layers of books are arranged neatly, like a book. Rows of silent wise men are here waiting for every visitor to explore.
In this spacious space, visitors can stroll around without restraint. The carpet under their feet is sound-absorbing and soft, and every step is silent, as if they are afraid of disturbing this rare tranquility.
They shuttle freely in the vast sea of books, either stopping to meditate or looking down to read. Their desire and pursuit of knowledge are fully respected and satisfied here.
Brian also clearly felt that there was a mysterious power contained in the library.
Not only does it provide an endless source of knowledge to those seeking knowledge, it also cleverly plays the role of guide.
If anyone wants to find other residents of the Engraved Valley, whether they are scholars immersed in academic research or librarians tending collections and answering questions, all they have to do is express their opinions to this place of wisdom When you express your inner desires, the library will respond in an incredible way.
In an instant, this huge library seems to have come to life. Through some exquisite mechanism, it will lead the seekers through the jungle of bookshelves in just a few minutes, directly to the Come to the person he is looking for.
This magical guidance undoubtedly adds to the mysterious charm of the library, making every visitor who steps into it unable to help but marvel.
Facing the vast ocean of knowledge as deep as the stars, Brian did not choose to immerse his mind in it and let time slip from his fingers silently like fine sand.
He knows very well that every moment in his life is precious, and the time he has is as short and limited as morning dew, and cannot be wasted.
So, in this palace full of wisdom and brilliance, Brian’s eyes were firm and his steps were determined, like a courageous explorer, he passed through the rows of bookshelves in the library without hesitation. , heading straight towards the core of this temple of knowledge.
His goal is clear and clear, that is, the three key figures hidden behind the vast sea of books-the library managers.
In Brian's impression, the three library managers are Ursa, Umas and Ustova.
Usa specializes in managing information that has been dusty in the past.
He worked tirelessly to sort out and compile ancient books and documents, and carefully constructed and maintained this vast knowledge catalog.
In addition to constantly enriching his collection, Usa will also use his poetic pen to create legendary poems that have been passed down through the ages. He also shoulders the important mission of planning and restoring the mural decoration in the library.
Usa is extremely patient and enthusiastic, and is keen on any opportunity to discuss the profound connotations of history with visitors. Of the three librarians, he is the one most willing and most likely to spend a lot of time with library visitors.
He treats the surface inhabitants with as much respect as he treats the phantoms in a dream. Despite this, he firmly believes that these dream-like existences also contain the light of wisdom worth sharing.
Among the three information managers, Umas is undoubtedly the one with the heaviest workload.
He rules a vast network of underground creatures driven by magic. These beasts are like invisible messengers, traveling between the Underdark and the surface world, delivering messages from the giants and those "dreams" from the surface. existence” information.
Umas also maintains a close relationship of information exchange and collaboration with Hegram, the Stonespeaker, because they are both members of the Stone Giant Council. Although Umas is known for his great patience, when faced with the questions and needs of adventurers, he will inevitably feel a little impatient due to the pressure of responsibilities and etiquette, and is eager to return to his information management work as soon as possible.
Because at this moment, his attention is being distracted by the increasingly serious reports brought by his messengers, including the secret investigation results of the stone giant mystic, including the The latest updates on elemental servants such as Raithians and Thors.
But before leaving, Stone Giant Priest Hegram told Brian that once someone can bring any clues or news about the demon lords in the Underdark, Umas will immediately put aside all distracting thoughts and listen to their reports with full attention.
So he will not worry about being unpopular with the library manager.
As the manager of future information, the prophet Ustova spent a lot of time in endless meditation and engraved the illusions she had seen on stone slabs.
She imitated Umas's spiritual focus, focusing on exploring the intertwined fates of multiple giant societies and clans, arranging various possibilities, aiming to reveal the signs that heralded the glorious revival of ancient civilization.
In the future picture foreseen by Ustova, the invasion of the Underdark by the demon lord is like an indescribable giant wave of chaos, sweeping over.
The future that now unfolds before her eyes is a scene built of fire, blood and death, filled with symbols and prophecies of the demon lord's nature: Demogorgon's bloody spiral and double-crossed mark, the rampant growth and decay of Zurgmoi aura, the clouds of poisonous mist that filled Jubilex's vision, and countless other horrific symbols.
She is willing to lend a helping hand to anyone who can help her verify and interpret these visions, viewing the information they provide as valuable insight into the future from the "dream world" beyond the Underdark. .
Soon, Brian passed through the living area of the library and came to a mysterious corridor.
Around the majestic central well, a spacious and long corridor extends with its deep and mostly silent posture, seeming to carry endless secrets and stories.
This corridor is like a labyrinth of twists and turns. In its wide space, only the occasional heavy footsteps of the Gray Stones and the echoes of the visitors' whispers wander through it. This quiet space adds a lively atmosphere.
The space design of each floor is carefully laid out around the deep patio. The patio is like a bright gem embedded in the heart of the building. It is surrounded by circles of wide corridors. These corridors are like blood vessels and are closely connected. Looking at the rooms carefully carved on the walls.
Those rooms appear or disappear, like three-dimensional paintings, quietly telling their respective histories and legends.
At regular intervals, elegant and strong bridges are erected across the abyss of the well, cleverly connecting the upper and lower floors, forming a passage leading to the unknown realm. .
The terraces are layered on top of each other, leading upwards to the mist-shrouded heights, and downwards to the deep underground world.
No matter how long visitors explore this mysterious building, and no matter how many stairs they walk up, the feeling that they can never reach the bottom always lingers.
At the end of each floor, people always feel that there are more undiscovered floors hidden below, as if this building has endless spatial dimensions. No matter how time goes by, it is difficult to exhaust all its secrets and wonders.
And Umas and Ustova, two mysterious and unique librarians, live on the top floor of that magnificent library, like two shining pearls in the ocean of knowledge.
This library is like a beacon of wisdom, standing in the center of the city, and they live on the pinnacle of knowledge, each occupying the vast living space from both sides. .
