My dear witch, please turn evil according to the script!

Chapter 43 Silently Reflect on What You Want

Roland felt a chill in his heart when he thought of the system's tasks.

Finding Fram's "corpse" may be achieved by using Katongzi's IQ bug.

Or rather, he has succeeded.

The system's taskbar already showed that he had completed some of the first-stage tasks.

However, the next part about the cause of death was a bit difficult for Roland.

How can we find out the cause of death if the person isn’t dead yet?
And if the judgment is not successful, doesn't that mean that the speculation made by me and Iluvia on the road just now was wrong?
The mastermind behind the scenes didn't actually kill Fram using the traditional three-pronged approach, but rather a more direct method?
Or is it just an idea about the cause of death, which is not enough to be determined as the cause of death, and we need to find some evidence, or know the full course of events like in Riskan?
"Fuck, aren't you the Destined Savior System? Why are you doing all the work of a detective?"

The system did not respond.

Roland had no intention of talking about this with Fram.

After all, if the disaster could have been avoided just by being vigilant, Fram would not have died.

Before you have figured out the general situation, random reminders will only have a counterproductive effect.

I should just be a good "trusted minister" and a good student.

After thanking Fram, Roland said that Kalia had eaten and went back to the dormitory to rest, and gave Fram her dormitory number.

After doing all this, Roland took the pass given by Fram and went to the Great Library of Truth in the academy.

As an institution of higher learning that is openly and fully supported by the Mainland Society of Reliable History, this library was also funded by the Mainland Society of Reliable History.

All the books and knowledge stored therein represent all the knowledge stored by the Mainland’s Society of Reliable History.

Sharing knowledge is also the teaching of the God of Truth.

Apart from the taboo parts, the rest of the knowledge should not be monopolized, especially history.

However, a library that stores such a huge amount of information and books naturally cannot be a "library" in the usual sense.

According to the information Roland learned when he took the assessment, the library built by the Continental History Society in the academy was at best just a decoration, a gateway to the real library.

The library is open to the public. As long as you are a student, you can borrow books freely as long as you remember to return them.

Other than that, there are no barriers to entry.

But the real "library" is not open to the public. It is a huge secret place created by the Mainland's Reliable History Society through spatial means.

This treasure trove of knowledge can only be reached through the door on the underground floor of the great library, and not everyone can enter.

Therefore, Roland believed that the answers he wanted would be there.

If he couldn't find any clues about the original rune stone even here, then he could basically give up.

The knowledge that is not here is truly lost knowledge.

Although it was late at night, the library had not yet closed. Roland walked down to the basement and stood in front of a wooden door that looked covered in dust but was actually shrouded in a hazy glow.

There is no one guarding this place, it's like a real basement.

It’s not that the academy doesn’t take it seriously, but the protection here does not require guards.

Those without a pass, even if they find a way to forcibly break the protective rune, will not be able to enter the real library. As for where they will go... no one knows.

Standing in front of a gate that was three people tall, Roland took out the pass given by Fram. It was a rectangular wooden sign with a cross scale of truth engraved on it.

Judging from its condition, it is at least several hundred years old.

"Can it still be used?"

With some doubt, Roland pointed the wooden sign at the door and injected magic into it.

Then, the gray halo on the wooden door dissipated and the door slowly opened.

Roland put away the wooden sign and walked in.

……

The moment he stepped through the door, Roland felt a spatial displacement.

The next moment, he was surrounded by pure white.

There is no imaginary ceiling, no supposed ground.

The entire pure white space was filled with books and neatly arranged bookshelves; nothing else could be seen.

Roland felt a strong sense of déjà vu. After recalling for a while, he finally matched the scene in his memory.

"Isn't this the Earth Library?"

Yes, the Earth Library. The scene before him was exactly the same as the ability of a male protagonist in a special effects film Roland had seen in his previous life.

Would the usage be the same?

There is obviously no librarian here. With so many books in front of me, I am afraid I won’t be able to find the right book even if I search for a year by myself.

At this moment, a line of text appeared in front of Roland's eyes.

[Silently think of what you seek, and knowledge will emerge on its own.]

He closed his eyes and recalled the knowledge he wanted in his mind... the Primordial Rune Stone.

As Roland began to think, countless bookshelves began to move and shift rapidly, and then disappeared without a trace.

In the end, only one bookshelf was left, and on it, a thin book.

The cover of the book was in tatters, and the text on it was not the mainstream text on the mainland today, but "runes". It looked like there were only about ten pages.

Yes, these are the runes used in magical technology.

This kind of text has power in itself, but it usually remains inert when not activated and needs to be activated through magic.

This type of writing has never been used as a mainstream writing system because it is difficult to understand, has strange pronunciations, is difficult to learn, is complex to write, and individual characters have different meanings and functions depending on the writing method.

If Roland had not done some research in this area and had not learned the writing and meaning of runes, he really would not have been able to recognize the words written in these runes that looked like scribbles.

Fortunately, the characters he had learned were enough for him to understand the few incomplete words on the tattered cover of this ancient book.

"What epic?"

"Poetry? No wonder it's so thin."

"It's a pity that the words at the beginning are no longer legible. I don't know what the poem describes."

Roland opened the book and found that most of the poems were discontinuous.

Either the first sentence is missing, or the second sentence is missing, or it is simply broken in the middle.

The characters that were supposed to be written on it have all turned into blurry black spots.

If it were ordinary text, Roland might be able to infer it from the shape, but when it came to highly complex text like runes, he was at a loss.

Roland had no choice but to look for relatively complete poems, then slowly recall the meaning of the runes and translate them into words he could understand.

After spending an hour, Roland finally restored a relatively complete poem.

Translated into mainland Chinese, it means

"Under the sky, the kings of the elves have obtained three"

"In the realm of death, the Demon Kings' Courts have obtained seven of them."

"In this world, mortals are destined to die, nine out of ten"

"All things in the world originate from this"

"The supreme gods hold their dignity..."

Roland read out the poem he had reconstructed, although he didn't know what the poem actually meant.

But he subconsciously associated it with the original rune stone.

This library will not provide him with irrelevant information.

Since this is the only valid information in this collection of poems, the sentence "All things in the world originate from this" is very valuable.

Roland glanced at the poetry collection a few more times, memorized the original runes of the poem, and then left.
