Chapter 28 Lord of the Abyss
==================
The library is silent, exuding a faint fragrance of ink from the pages of books.
The black-haired boy stood in the middle of the bookshelf, facing the god without fear.The soft and moist lips parted slightly, and a name came out.
"—"God Descends"."
Lin Qiao: I don't believe it, there are still original works hidden in this library.
The voice is crisp and the words are clear.
After falling, the entire library fell into a dead silence.
The God of Knowledge travels through the vast ocean of knowledge, trying to find this book called "God's Descent" in it.
He failed.
No matter how many times I searched back and forth, I couldn't see "God Descends".
The god of knowledge is unbelievable.
impossible.
As long as books appeared on this continent and they were all stored in the Hall of Knowledge, how could there be books that he hadn't seen?
It must be this human who compiled a book that does not exist, to deceive him.
The God of Knowledge glanced again, and the majestic voice echoed: "I have never heard of the existence of this book."
Lin Qiao said calmly, "Just because you haven't heard of it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist."
The God of Knowledge said proudly, "I know everything."
Lin Qiao: "I don't believe it."
God of Knowledge: "You can ask me any question."
Lin Qiao thought for a while and said, "What's the answer to 'Kratz's Conjecture'?"
God of Knowledge: "?"
Why do you know each word when you separate it, but you can't understand it when you put it together?
Lin Qiao blinked innocently: "It seems that this problem is too difficult for you. Then I will change it, and you can help me solve a high-level math problem."
God of Knowledge: "???"
What the hell is this?
Lin Qiao: "Then, do you understand quadratic equations in one variable?"
The god of knowledge felt humiliated.
He couldn't understand a word of what this human being said.
What made him break even more was that Lin Qiao said with a look of disgust, "Why don't you understand anything? Is this the God of Knowledge?"
God of Knowledge: Very angry, but there is no way to refute.
The God of Knowledge said solemnly: "Do you know the answers to these questions?"
Lin Qiao asked back, "If I knew, would I still ask you?"
God of Knowledge: "..."
Lin Qiao put his hands on his shoulders: "Can I admit defeat now?"
The God of Knowledge refused to admit that he had lost, and only said: "In exchange, now, you can ask me three questions."
Lin Qiao secretly rolled his eyes.
If you lose, you lose.
In exchange, it's really hard-talking.
He raised a finger: "First question, why did you and the goddess of abundance both send people to arrest me?"
The God of Knowledge gave a "huh" and said, "Did Feng Rao find you too?"
Lin Qiao was thoughtful.
It turns out that the gods do not communicate with each other?
Also, these gods are fighting everywhere for the power of faith, and the relationship must not be much better.
Lin Qiao pulled back her running thoughts: "Answer my question."
The God of Knowledge didn't hide it either: "Oh... because you are related to a prophecy."
Lin Qiao: "What prophecy?"
The God of Knowledge kept an eye out: "Is this the second question?"
Lin Qiao said indifferently: "It doesn't count. What is the prophecy?"
After the God of Knowledge was silent for a moment, a melodious tune echoed in the library.
"The imprisonment has been broken, and the cursed god escaped from the abyss..."
"Death spreads like a plague..."
"But don't be afraid, don't be timid, the gods are not invincible... The black-haired boy from the east... is His weakness..."
Lin Qiao listened for a long time before she understood that the content of the prophecy had something to do with the Lord of the Abyss—the Lord of the Abyss wanted to come out to destroy the world. To stop him, all he had to do was catch the black-haired boy from the East.
Lin Qiao commented: What the hell?
In the original book, it is mentioned that the Lord of the Abyss will destroy the world.
This is normal.
After all, if a villain does not aim to destroy the world, then he is a vulgar villain without ideals and pursuits.
But, how did this have anything to do with him?
He didn't even see the face of the Lord of the Abyss.
Lin Qiao raised another finger: "Second question, do you know what this spell represents?"
He briefly described the pattern of the texture.
The god of knowledge listened carefully.
A book on the bookshelf suddenly soared into the air, "shua shua" opened one of the pages, and a pattern appeared on it.
"Is it this one?"
Lin Qiao looked at it carefully for a moment, and it was exactly the same as the platinum pattern that appeared on his heart.He nodded: "This is it."
God of Knowledge: "This is the curse seal of the Holy Court of Light, which represents - suppression and control."
Lin Qiao: "What do you mean?"
The God of Knowledge said: "This curse seal has a suppressive effect, it can suppress the light elements in the body, and pretend to be an ordinary person."
Lin Qiao reached out and pressed his heart.
Through a thin layer of fabric, one can still feel the hotness below.
Doesn't this body have any magical talents and abilities?
Why is there a bright element now?
Lin Qiao's mind was full of thoughts: So he is also a pure [-]-year-old boy?
The God of Knowledge asked, "Where did you see this mark?"
Lin Qiao said impatiently, "It has nothing to do with you."
Where did the God of Knowledge ever suffer from this grievance: "How dare you despise the gods...well, wait a minute." He discovered something was wrong, "You don't have any power of faith in you, why?"
Why else?
Of course Lin Qiao doesn't believe in any gods.
The God of Knowledge asked strangely: "You don't even believe in the Lord of the Abyss?"
Lin Qiao: "What's so strange about this?" His eyes were clear and bright, "I have no faith."
When I was outside, I didn't dare to say it, for fear of being hanged on the gallows by those fanatical believers.
Now in front of the gods, I don't have so many scruples.After all, it is impossible for a god to lower his status to deal with a small human like him.
The God of Knowledge blurted out: "Impossible!"
Lin Qiao: "?"
The God of Knowledge doesn't believe that there will be people without faith. He turned around and finally came to a conclusion: "You lie, you know so much profound knowledge, and you can still say 'knowledge is priceless' , must be my believer.”
Lin Qiao: "...you are so confident."
God of Knowledge: "That's right, that's how it is."
Lin Qiao: "Whatever you think." He put his hands on his shoulders, tilted his head, "There is one last question..."
He couldn't think of what to ask for a while, so he said, "Can I save it for next time?"
The God of Knowledge inexplicably became tolerant and benevolent: "Of course, my child."
Lin Qiao: ...
You don't have to.
He suddenly felt hairy all over his body: "Can you let me go now?"
According to the rules of the Palace of Knowledge, as long as you name a book that is not available here, you can leave.
From the judgment of the Palace of Knowledge, this black-haired boy did not lie.
"God's Arrival" is indeed a book that exists, but He doesn't know it.
Willing to gamble to lose.
The God of Knowledge should let Lin Qiao go now, but he was a little unwilling.
He turned his mind and smiled silently.
Although he promised to let the black-haired boy go, he didn't say that he would let him go back to his original place.
The God of Knowledge thought of a solution, and immediately felt refreshed, and waved his hand: "You can go."
The floor of the library trembled.
The bookshelf broke and collapsed, and countless books were suspended in mid-air, forming a crooked path around them.
The path is so narrow that only one person can pass.
Lin Qiao went up and went out along the path. Suddenly, a bright white light appeared in front of him.
After the white light dissipated, he could see the scene in front of him clearly.
Lin Qiao originally thought that the God of Knowledge would let him return to the garden, but when he looked up, he saw a completely unfamiliar place in front of him.
Light snow was falling outside the window, and the fireplace in the house was crackling and burning.
A few chestnuts were pierced by branches and roasted on the fire, filling the whole room with a soft and burnt aroma.
Lin Qiao walked out two steps.
The floor is covered with a thick layer of carpet, a blanket is randomly placed on the sofa, half-drinked hot cocoa is placed on the left, and a book is spread out on the right.
It seems that the owner of the house left after reading half of the book, and will come back soon.
Lin Qiao didn't dare to move, and walked straight to the door.
The door was not locked.
With a slight push, it opens.
The cold wind mixed with snowflakes blows head-on, making people feel a little cool.
It's cold here.
The one who pierces the bone marrow.
Since wearing the book, Lin Qiao's range of activities has always been under the territory of the Holy Court of Light.It was the south, warm and warm, and in the memory of the original owner, it hadn't snowed in more than ten years.
And here, obviously, is no longer in the south.
Where did the God of Knowledge send him?
Can Arthur find him?
Or... How would Arthur react when he found out that he was gone?
Lin Qiao's heart sank, full of worry.
……
at the same time.
Domic City.
The banquet scene seemed to have been pressed the pause button, and it changed from noisy to dead silence.
Everyone kept the movements of the previous moment, unable to move.However, his thoughts can still turn, and panic and fear can be seen from his eyes.
Even those clergy whose eyes were higher than the top on weekdays showed their ugly faces.
Among the crowd, there was only one figure who was unaffected and walked back and forth as if nothing had happened.
It was a young man with red hair.
He is good-looking, exquisite and flawless, like a perfect sculpture.Bards would also write sonnets for him.
Of course, that was when he was around the dark-haired boy.
At that time, he was calm, ignorant and dazed, like a fledgling who just came into the world, full of dependence on the first person he saw.
Even willing to pretend to be a normal person.
And now, the black-haired boy was gone.
The young man tore off the disguise without any scruples, revealing a fierce and ferocious scene.His pupils stood up like a hunting beast.
Darkness surged behind him, and terrifying tentacles could be vaguely seen squirming.
People can't help but be horrified: what kind of monster is this?
Arthur walked straight into the crowd and came to the most distinguished guest.
Princess Dory's complexion was pale, her hair was disheveled, and even the bright gemstones lost their color.
She regained her freedom, but she didn't even dare to think of running away, so she could only collapse on the ground under Jin Tong's gaze.
Arthur: "Who did you invite?"
Princess Dolly was startled, but did not react.
Arthur didn't want to ask again, the darkness turned into a big hand, holding Princess Dolly in the air.
Princess Dolly realized something and screamed, "No, you can't—"
With a calm face, Arthur wantonly opened Princess Dolly's soul, looking for clues in it.
A picture flashed in front of my eyes.
In the end, it was locked on a little girl.
The little girl was only seven or eight years old, she was white and she was holding a book about her height, and she stumbled when she walked.
Arthur's eyes locked on her.
Knowledge……
God of knowledge.
……
"call--"
Lin Qiao exhaled hot air and shivered, "It's so cold."
He left the wooden house and wanted to find an exit, but he didn't expect to be so cold that he couldn't stand it after walking out, so he had to go back into the house again.
Now, he is huddled in front of the fireplace warming the fire.
Looking at the non-stop jumping flames, Lin Qiao rubbed his frozen cheeks, and when he recovered a bit, he suddenly heard the sound of the door opening behind him.
He turned his head and saw no one at the first moment.
no one?
When I looked down, I realized that it was not that there was no one there, but that the people who came were too short.
The little girl in a brown cloak struggled to drag a book and slowly moved in.There was a layer of snow on her head and shoulders, and her little face was flushed with cold.
Lin Qiao: "Alice...?"
Alice raised her head: "Sir!"
Lin Qiao: "Why are you here?"
Alice hugged the book and walked with a patter: "Why am I not here? This is my home."
Lin Qiao was tentative: "Didn't you attend the banquet before? This place should be far away from Domic City, right?"
Alice nodded: "It's very far away. If it weren't for the teleportation formation, I wouldn't be able to come back so soon."
Lin Qiao: "Are you a magician?"
Alice shook her head: "I'm not, but it's written in the book—" She opened the thick book and turned to one of the pages, "Here."
Lin Qiao looked over.
This book should have existed for a long time, the pages are yellowish, and what is written on the paper is not words, but a magic circle.
When the pages of the book were turned, the magic circle absorbed the elemental magic around it, turned around, and formed a twisted passage, leading to nowhere.
Lin Qiao's heart skipped a beat, and Alice closed the book before she had time to read it again.
He squatted down and looked directly at the little girl: "Can you lend me this magic circle? I want to go back to Domic City."
Alice shook her head seriously: "No."
Lin Qiao: "Why?"
Alice: "Because, the knowledge celebration is going to be held next."
Lin Qiao: "Are you also a member of the Palace of Knowledge?"
Alice puffed out her chest proudly: "I am the saint of the Temple of Knowledge."
Lin Qiao: "..."
Saintess?
Is this too small?
Alice seemed to see what was going on in Lin Qiao's mind, and her face flushed red: "Don't look down on me! I'm nine years old this year, and I've read 1329 books!"
Lin Qiao: "I don't look down on you, I just think it's amazing that you can become a saint at such a young age."
Alice: "Really, really?"
Lin Qiao: "Of course it's true!"
Alice had probably never been praised so much before, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.
Lin Qiao silently labeled Alice as a "deceitful", planning to get more words out of her mouth.
Alice was undefended, and it could be said that she answered whatever she asked.
From Alice's mouth, I learned that this is the territory of the God of Knowledge, located in the north of the continent.It snows here all year round, cold and quiet.
When the mountains were covered by heavy snow, people here had nothing to do but read books, so knowledge spread to every corner.
The God of Knowledge was moved by this, and bestowed a gift, and built a Palace of Knowledge on the top of the highest snow-capped mountain, in which every book on the mainland was stored.
Every year, smart believers are selected to enter the Hall of Knowledge, receive the watering of knowledge, and become apostles who spread knowledge—this is the Knowledge Celebration.
Lin Qiao asked: "Have you participated in the knowledge celebration?"
Alice nodded vigorously: "Of course, because I am the smartest person." She stood on tiptoe and patted Lin Qiao on the shoulder, "I admit that you are also very smart, just a little bit more than me."
Lin Qiao: "...What do you mean?"
Alice: "Don't you know? You have been chosen by the God of Knowledge and will soon become the next Holy Son."
Lin Qiao: "?"
Still with strong buying and strong selling?
Lin Qiao emphasized again: "I don't believe in God."
Alice: "It doesn't matter, as long as God has chosen you."
Lin Qiao: "Can I not go?"
Alice's small face showed an indifference that did not belong to this age: "If you don't go, I will drive you out, and then you will be frozen to death by the blizzard."
Lin Qiao knew that she was not joking, so she immediately changed her tune: "I think I can go."
Alice laughed again: "That would be really great."
Alice hurriedly got ready, found a piece of clothing from an unknown corner, and handed it to Lin Qiao: "Put it on."
Lin Qiao put it on.
This is a cloak, made of leather, with a furry scarf at the neckline, which is enough to block the cold wind blowing.
Alice: "Let's go, it's time for us to go to the Palace of Knowledge."
Lin Qiao followed silently.
With this cloak, the wind and snow outside are not so cold.
He walked on the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and turned his head to see Alice sitting on the thick book, surrounded by wind elves, like a sled, moving forward effortlessly slip.
Not long after, Alice ran to the front, and only a small figure could be seen in the distance.
Lin Qiao thought about it and wanted to take the opportunity to run away.
But the snow-capped mountains were so vast that they were all white at first glance, and he couldn't find a way out. In addition, his sense of direction was not good, so he walked in circles for a long time.
Alice waited in front for a long time, but no one was found, so she turned back and asked, "Why are you still here?"
Lin Qiao touched the tip of his nose.
You can't say that you want to escape, but you can't find a way, right?
He said vaguely: "I'm tired from walking, take a rest."
Alice didn't think much: "It's almost here."
Lin Qiao knew that he couldn't escape, so he had to use the word "drag".
"I can't walk anymore."
Alice wrinkled her nose: "You are really useless."
She patted the books.
The spine of the book trembled, and a gap opened.Between the pages, a gust of breeze came out and surrounded Lin Qiao's side.
Lin Qiao suddenly felt his feet lighten, and his whole body rose into the air.
Alice: "Let's go—"
Surrounded by the wind elves, Lin Qiao leaped seven to eight meters with just a touch of his feet, as if flying.
Now he had no excuses, so he could only follow Alice all the way up the mountain.
After passing the steep cliff, you can see a temple standing on the cliff.
The vault of the temple is bright, reflecting the light of snow.
There are already other believers waiting here, and everyone is holding a book, flipping through it quietly and piously.
As soon as Lin Qiao entered, he attracted everyone's attention.
As soon as Alice waved, some believers stood up and came to Lin Qiao's side.
After tossing for a while, I was forced to put on a new set of clothes.
Lin Qiao felt uncomfortable all over.
This is the uniform of the Palace of Knowledge. It is white all over, and the waist is tightened, pinching out a slender waistline.Further down, there is a pair of straight legs, the cloak hangs down behind her, and finally she wears a delicate golden hair crown.
It looks holy and pure.
Lin Qiao pulled the hem of her clothes, muttering in her heart: There are quite a lot of things.
After changing clothes, it's time for the celebration of knowledge.
Lin Qiao was reluctant to participate, but facing the scorching eyes, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and stand on the Temple of Heaven.
There are countless books piled up around the Temple of Heaven, exuding the fragrance of ink.
Lin Qiao stood among them, and the believers below began to praise the greatness of the God of Knowledge, sitting cross-legged around the Temple of Heaven with pious and serious faces.
Lin Qiao was in a daze for a while if he was affected by the atmosphere.
An idea popped up.
Perhaps it is also good to believe in the god of knowledge.
After all, the God of Knowledge holds all the knowledge on this continent.
There is also that book... which records all kinds of magic. If you become the Holy Son, can you give him a whole...
In a trance, a gentle voice sounded beside my ears: "Child, the ocean of knowledge welcomes you. Come, enter the embrace of knowledge..."
Lin Qiao took a step subconsciously.
On the Temple of Heaven, the talisman shone with light, and an illusory figure appeared in it.
It was an elegant and gentle middle-aged man, wearing a golden gown, with deep eyes that seemed to contain thousands of stars.
"Come on, child."
"come to me……"
Lin Qiao took another step.
The God of Knowledge showed a satisfied smile.
Regardless of whether this black-haired boy had faith before, as long as he reached his arms, he would only devoutly believe in the power of knowledge in the future.
"Come here-"
Just as Lin Qiao was about to get close to this phantom figure, he suddenly woke up, a struggling look flashed across his face, and he took a step back abruptly.
The God of Knowledge was about to seduce again, when his expression suddenly changed: "...Abyss, why is the Lord of the Abyss here?"
The sky darkened.
The clouds were so dense that even the snowflakes in midair stopped falling.
Time on the snow mountain seems to have frozen, only the ominous darkness is surging.
zizi——
Where the darkness passed, the ice and snow melted, and everything turned into nothingness.
Just when they were about to reach the top of the mountain, countless books floated in mid-air, flipping "squeaky", and a force was generated from it, resisting the approaching darkness.
The God of Knowledge said solemnly: "This is the realm of knowledge."
After the words fell, a golden light rippled silently, forming a barrier that enveloped the Palace of Knowledge.
The golden light drives away the darkness.
A low, indifferent voice sounded.
"Where there is light, darkness follows."
"Crack" sound.
A gap was opened in the barrier, and wisps of black mist flowed in from it.
The fog gradually solidified, and a tall and straight figure stepped out of it.
