Chapter 227: Have I also become a second-generation legend?
After solving the problem of legendary resources, Bai Qi felt relieved. After a little thought, he headed towards the Tower of Knowledge.
He was certainly not going to join the analysis team of the daytime mecha. For such a large mecha, they probably hadn't even collected all the shell rune data yet. It would be a hindrance to go there now. It would be better for him to go to the Tower of Knowledge to look up some information first.
Anyway, Zhao Futu and Lan Ke have promised him that he can freely browse the information in the Tower of Knowledge, so he can't waste this opportunity.
Because Xiang Li was not there to lead the way, Bai Qi was still subject to careful identity verification when entering the Tower of Knowledge Archives before being allowed in.
Unlike the new technology in the Tower of Relics, the Tower of Knowledge still maintains its original structure.
The library has neatly arranged classical bookshelves, and on the shelves are placed equally classical books, making it look like a retro library.
"They are all paper books. Aren't you afraid that they will be damaged if not properly stored?"
Bai Qi muttered in confusion upon seeing this. In today's era, paper books still exist, but they are no longer mainstream. After all, whether it is storage security or reading convenience, electronic reading devices definitely have more advantages.
"This is the Tower of Knowledge, not a library. There is no possibility of books being damaged. These books are old enough to be your grandfather."
At this moment, Lu Qing came out from behind a bookshelf holding a book. Looking at Bai Qi who was surprised, she said, "The books here are very valuable. Remember to put them back after reading them."
After saying that, Lu Qing left the reference room holding the book in her arms without waiting for Bai Qi's reply.
Was he just ridiculed by Lu Qing?
Bai Qi scratched his head speechlessly. He was confronted just for reading a book. His luck was terrible.
"Forget it, reading is more important."
Bai Qi shrugged and stopped caring about other things. Instead, he began to look around this old data room.
Just as Lu Qing said, the bookshelves here are all engraved with ancient runes, and even the covers of the books are engraved with corresponding runes, which are faintly releasing special energy to protect these books.
"You can learn the runes that can extend the shelf life. They might be useful."
Bai Qi took out the tools and silently recorded the runes on the book, and then began to look for the books he needed.
As the gathering place for all the association's information, the books in the information room are terrifying in both variety and quantity. Fortunately, there is a guiding stone tablet at the door, otherwise Bai Qi really suspects that he might get lost in there.
"The rune and history categories are open to me, but the others are still off limits?"
Bai Qi looked at the only two runes that lit up on the stone tablet and shrugged helplessly.
This was really just intended for him to see the information related to the daytime mecha, and he also wanted to copy some information like illustrated books back.
Perhaps, there are no electronic products in the Tower of Knowledge to prevent theft?
Bai Qi seemed to have realized something, and he lit up the pattern representing the rune area. His body was immediately wrapped in a ray of light and teleported directly to the bookshelf in the rune area. Next to the bookshelf, there was also a stone tablet to assist in finding books.
Bai Qijian randomly selected a book, and a light suddenly lit up on the stone tablet, and a book was directly transferred from the bookshelf to him.
“Although there is no machinery installed, the functions are not bad.”
Bai Qi nodded with satisfaction, picked up the book, sat down on the ground and started reading.
This book mainly talks about the analysis and application of fire runes. Although it is not as easy to understand as Luo Xiang's explanation, it is comprehensive and detailed, and is perfectly suitable for laying the foundation.
Bai Qi flipped through several books in succession, all of them were the same. He was not vague. He piled the books together and planned to go to the history area.
There is too much and too diverse content on runes, and it is definitely impossible to finish reading it in a short period of time. Now that the historical area is open, I will look for any information on the demon system.
Well, I'd better look up the information about the power of death.
As for these rune books, just take them back and read them slowly.
Bai Qi pressed the button to go to the historical area, and the teleportation light enveloped him again, but the books in Bai Qi's hands disappeared at the same time and returned to the bookshelf.
"You won't let me take her away? Then how did you take Lu Qing out to see her?"
Bai Qi was speechless. He was not allowed to take anything out. Didn't this mean he had to stay here forever?
"Forget it, let's go find some information on the demon department first."
Bai Qi came to the history area, found all the relevant books about the French Empire period, and then slowly read through them.
Although it only covers the period of the Emperor of Law, there are quite a few books on the subject. With Bai Qi's current fourth-level physique and mental strength, he only managed to read one-third of it until his neck ached.
However, Bai Qi still benefited a lot.
"I see. From a certain perspective, this Emperor of Law can be considered the forefather of the Department of Mechanics."
Bai Qi closed a book recording the rune puppets during the period of the Emperor of Law, feeling somewhat emotional.
If the mechanical system's circuits are replaced with rune structures, and the energy source is replaced with energy stones, the only difference between the mechanical system and the rune system is the intelligent brain.
Oh, no, the current mechanical system has given birth to spirits and can be classified as living species. However, no matter how intelligent the rune puppets are, they are still just tools.
But even so, this rune puppet can indeed be regarded as the original version of the mechanical system.
"However, there is still no data mentioning the demon system."
Bai Qi rubbed his brows. In order to avoid any mistakes, he had reviewed the history of the Law Emperor more than a dozen times, but he had not seen any data related to the demon system or even evil energy.
On the contrary, he did see some records about the power of death, but they were only mentioned briefly and there were no detailed records.
"Let's finish reading the rest first, and ask the teacher or Xiangta Master if we have a chance."
Bai Qi put down the book in his hand, picked up another one from the side and continued reading.
"Well, is it about the unsolved incident of the French Emperor thing?"
Bai Qi flipped through two pages and discovered that the book contained records of some strange things.
"Things about Rune Puppets and Primal Beasts"
On the possibility of whether the Emperor of Fa is the reincarnation of a god
Are the Emperor's harem rune puppets or real people?
《……》
"What the hell is this? The Tower of Knowledge really has a collection of everything."
Bai Qi looked at the book in his hand, which looked more like gossip than a history book, and sighed silently. He was about to throw it aside, but suddenly noticed one of the records and kept the book.
"In the 36th year of the French Emperor's calendar, two meteorites fell from the sky. Half of the place where they fell was covered by green flames, and the other half was evaporated by white light. All humans and ferocious beasts disappeared. Later, the French Emperor came in person and took away the two meteorites. After that, there was no abnormality..."
"Green flames, white light... Could it be that the two strange stones in the Shuangtian mecha were obtained from here?"
Bai Qi wrote down the time when Emperor Fa obtained the two meteorites, and then found all the records about Emperor Fa in the nearby time period, especially the time when the Twin Sky Mecha came out, and finally confirmed his guess.
"The demon type really comes from outer space~"
Bai Qi frowned slightly. Because of his identity as a time traveler, he was sure that there must be a world outside the universe, but his previous life was just an ordinary technological world, which could not be compared with the demon world at all.
The demon from outer space sounds like it's not easy to mess with.
Since the demon system comes from outer space, it is estimated that no specific information can be found in the history area, and there is no point in staying here.
Bai Qi closed the book, returned it to the bookshelf, and then began to look for books related to death.
But this time, he didn't get any results.
After all, this is not like the demon system, which has a rough time range, and the span is really long.
"Ask the teacher next time you meet him. Maybe you'll understand better."
Bai Qi stood up, rubbed his sore neck, and planned to go back to the rune area to continue studying.
His rune foundation is indeed average, so it would be a good idea to take this opportunity to lay a solid foundation.
At this moment, a white light suddenly appeared beside Bai Qi, and Lu Qing suddenly appeared beside him.
"Bai Qi, the teacher is looking for you."
Lu Qing glanced at the messy books piled next to Bai Qi, frowned slightly, and operated on the stone tablet next to her, and the books returned to their original places one after another.
"Next time if you don't take good care of books, I will ask the teacher to cancel your qualification to enter here."
"Uh, okay."
Bai Qi sighed helplessly when he heard this. When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. And for a bookworm like Lu Qing, his behavior just now was indeed too much.
After all, they don't care about the fact that the books are not that easily damaged.
After collecting all the books, Lu Qing turned around and left, and Bai Qi immediately followed her and asked, "Lu Qing, what does Tower Master Lan want to talk to me about?"
"You'll find out when you get there."
Lu Qing pushed up her glasses, quickened her pace and walked out of the document room.
"As expected, you can't mess with a girl with glasses..."
Bai Qi couldn't help but shook his head when he saw this, but he still quickly chased after him.
Looking for them at this time is either related to the daytime mecha or the second stage evolution . Otherwise, it is about the spirit ball.
Bai Qi followed Lu Qing all the way and soon arrived at Lan Ke's office.
But after seeing the man and woman in Lan Ke’s office, his jaw almost dislocated.
"Mom and Dad! Why are you here?!"
These two people were none other than Bai Qi's parents who had not been home for a long time because of their research.
Didn’t they say they were researchers from the consortium? Why did they come here?
Could it be that the identity of the consortium researcher is fake, and my parents are actually members of the association?
It's so secretive and mysterious, could it be that they are some kind of hidden big family?
Hmm, the person in the association with the surname Bai seems to be the teacher’s family. Could it be that I am really a member of the Bai family?
Is he also the second generation of legend?
