Chapter 58

Qiao Xiaoxuan stepped forward on guard and carefully put on black leather gloves to prevent possible contamination of venom or magic effects on the book. Then he boldly picked up the heavy book.

Nothing happened.

Then, Qiao Xiaoxuan removed the vision of witchcraft and lit a white witchcraft fire in order to confirm his booty. When he was ready to read with the help of firelight, as soon as he saw the name of the cover of the book, he raised his eyebrows and showed a disappointed expression. And I thought of a conversation between him and his sister Jo Yalin before that.

At that time, Qiao Xiaoxuan and Qiao Yalin were reading in the library of the castle. Qiao Xiaoxuan holds a history book to make up for the basic setting of the world. Qiao Yalin read it with a pharmaceutical book.

That day, Qiao Xiaoxuan happened to see a chapter about the Tego Simoge Empire. He was very interested in the largest empire established by human beings in the old world and the enemy of Capricorn. So I read it seriously. In Qiao Xiaoxuan's view, this empire can subdue Capricorn and several other human countries, as well as the barbarians and reckless orcs in the north. Naturally, there is something extraordinary.

However, Qiao Xiaoxuan found that the political system of this empire was primitive and backward. It is a completely feudal country.

The Tegosimogue Empire is not so much an empire as an alliance of ten countries. A total of ten electors elected one of them as emperors. And the emperor only has nominal sovereignty over the electors. And the command of the war. Usually, he can't receive a dime of tax from the elector, and he can't levy any soldier.

And within these ten electors, there are also many valves. Independent free cities, the teachings of various religious sects, and smaller aristocratic fiefs, all of which can not be birds. And under the little nobles, there are also small nobles, small nobles, and finally knights.

In addition to these forces nominally belonging to the empire, there are also many hostile forces within the Tegosimog Empire. There are as many bandits hiding in the mountains and forests. In addition, there are also savages affected by chaotic forces in many provinces of the empire. The great forest in the northwest of the empire is inhabited by countless forest goblin tribes.

Qiao Xiaoxuan asked many people about the content of this book, and they all said that it was really true. This surprised Qiao Xiaoxuan - such a country full of enemies in all directions and even inside the empire can survive tenaciously until now. What a miracle!

Of course, these are not the end. Qiao Xiaoxuan remembered after reading this book that it was the eighth time he complained about its backwardness after learning about the feudal system of the Tagosimog Empire.

"Actually, sister, do you think this is inappropriate?"

"What's inappropriate?"

"It's the knights of human beings - they hone their martial arts every day for decades. Always waiting for the Lord's conscript. And after the conscript, he had to rush there non-stop. As soon as I set foot on the battlefield, I couldn't wait to make achievements and die all of a sudden. Don't you think this is inappropriate?"

"Why do you think so? Isn't that great?"

So the values are different, and it's really difficult to communicate... I remember the strange expression my sister showed after hearing my problem at that time. Qiao Xiaoxuan couldn't help but be speechless.

Loyalty, okay; the duty of the vassal, that's right; the pursuit of glory; yes - but for the idiotic reasons of the feudal lords. Five acres of saline land, tattered garbage wood fortresses, a few jars of wild honey or even a move, a word will cause a bad war. In any case, Qiao Xiaoxuan can't feel happy - if the war is for this kind of thing, then what was the war between him and the alien insects on the star battlefield in his previous life?!

Qiao Xiaoxuan has always felt that the war should be so magnificent. It is an all-round and unprecedented confrontation between the two races. It is the most fierce and heroic act for the survival and reproduction of the race and for honor and interests - not for five acres of saline land.

So, when Qiao Xiaoxuan walked into the deepest part of this tomb. I found that I had worked so hard to waste so much strength, and what I finally got was just a copy of the Seventy-91 Knight Code. The anger of the future Count Joe can be imagined.

"This kind of thing is worthless except being burned!" Qiao Xiaoxuan grabbed the book angrily and fell to the ground. Originally, he really wanted to burn this classic. But on second thought, no matter how small the fly is, it is still a piece of meat. Although this thing has no practical value. But as an antique, it is still worth some money.

Although the Tego Simoge Empire, which is adjacent to Caprisi Van Moa, is a country with a feudal system and extremely poor finances, the nobles have no interest in this kind of thing and no purchasing power. However, the kings of Telibemore Free Mall in the further south are all those who are addicted to culture and art, as well as the Kingdom of Telasim, and there are many nobles who are subservient and elegant. There must be a lot of people who are willing to pay a good price for this classic.

Thinking this way, Qiao Xiaoxuan's psychology is much more balanced. Looking at the code also softened the eyes a lot. Calculate the time again. It's only been half an hour. There is no need to rush to check other funerary objects in this tomb. It's not a big deal to take a look at this book... Just think of it as knowledge.

While thinking so, Qiao Xiaoxuan picked up the knight's division code and began to read. Then, there was something wrong with this book about magic. Although it was safe when he didn't move, when he opened it and began to read it, Qiao Xiaoxuan found that what was written on it was not a text: it was not an old world franca, an elf language, a dwarf language, a basic language of the dead, not a witchcraft magic text. , not all kinds of ancient words, even chaotic language is not...**'s reserve. Mage, what is recorded in this book is the rules themselves, the ontology of order, the shaping of ability and standards... These abstract, metaphysical things that cannot be described in words are directly injected into the book in the form of pure and free magic wind. Although this book does exist, it is actually an abstract thing: it itself is the carrier of "rules". Something was found wrong.
