Vol 4 Chapter 137: Myth and history

The feeling of being in the sea of ​​books is wonderful, and the smell of books will naturally give people a sense of tranquility. What's more, this is the largest library in Pirate World.
Some people read books here, but there are not many people compared to the environment here.
The tree of omniscience was hollowed out and used as a library. The magical thing was that the tree itself did not die but was still actively growing.
Xuan Man wandered aimlessly, basically here you can find any book you want. The premise is that the Pirate World is local...
The most numerous are the records about the big pirates and their legendary stories.
Archaeologists are a group of persistent people, who are obsessed with the pursuit of history and naturally record everything, and the pirates themselves are part of the greatest history of the world.
Xuan didn't have much interest in those heroic deeds. He didn't know how many of the strongest pirates had been seen, so he went straight to the depths.
The books here are no less than the previous ones, but obviously there are not many people. With a simple glance, here are the records of various knowledge and the scattered history of various kingdoms.
In this world, the relationship between knowledge and power is even weaker. The best way to gain strength is various domineering cultivation and a devil fruit. As for calming down and learning various knowledge, that will be regarded as a fool.
Most of the people who come here to study have the mentality of just playing and leaving.
Xuan quickly pulled out a book and opened two pages. This is a record about the destruction of the kingdom. Once this was a powerful country in the West Sea, it was destroyed about two hundred years after the establishment of the world government.
The cause of the destruction was the tsunami, the world government said. Because of the age, there is no reexamination.
The book records many customs about the country at that time, but many places are unclear, and maybe even the author is not completely clear.
After reading it roughly, Xuan put the book back to its original place. According to the last statement, the author personally set up a boat to go to sea in order to investigate the ruins of the original kingdom. Finally, the boat capsized and was rescued by a pirate. , And then successfully reached the Kingdom Ruins.
Step on... step on...
There was a slight sound of footsteps, and an elder walked from a short distance, watching Xuan Jiang put the book back, and he whispered, "Now there are not many young people interested in the history of the destroyed kingdom."
"Not now. There are not too many people interested in such boring words in any era." Xuan did not turn around and replied directly.
This old man is insightful about what he thinks, but he is not interested in doing archeological research.
Unexpectedly, Xuanhui said that. The old man was taken aback, and then smiled bitterly, "Yes, you are right... But after all, the truth is something someone will pass on, even if no one cares about it, but it is. history."
"It's fine if you are happy." Xuan wanted to say so, but he held back after thinking about it. To the elderly, he must maintain the minimum respect.
"Is mythology history?" Xuan asked.
The old man stunned, "How can a myth be considered history?"
Hyun smiled and turned back, "Why can't it count?"
"Stories that are not even recorded in words are full of strange colors. How can such things be history!"
The corner of Xuan's mouth smiled deeper, "Do you mean that only written records can be called history? Then how can you be sure that these records are true? Human arrogance comes from their own ignorance and insignificance, maybe myth is true It’s a historical event that happened in the distant past, but it’s so remote that even the words and evidence are completely annihilated in the long river."
Xuan turned and walked in the other direction, "How can you be sure that someday in the future and today's things will not become a myth? It's actually very simple. It only needs the traces of the entire civilization to be completely annihilated, and in the next era, Someone said the same thing to you."
Seeing Xuan gradually drifting away, the old man showed a dazed expression.
...
That is, while visiting the library of the Tree of All-knowledge in Xuan Wang, in another room on the island, a man roared loudly, "Robin, where are you dead girl, don't mop the floor clean." There is no dinner for you today."
"Yes...yes uncle!"
Because of being too tired, the dark brown-skinned luoli leaned against the corner, half asleep and half awake. She had only a simple single coat on her body. The weather was beginning to fall, but the temperature on the island had begun to drop. This kind of clothing was not enough to help her keep out the cold.
The whole body is dirty, without any care at first glance, and the thin body seems to be caused by chronic malnutrition. She looks less than seven years old, precisely because she should enjoy the warmth of the family.
Hearing the man's call, she subconsciously responded and stood up immediately. Because she knows that if she does not prove that she is not lazy in the first place, the result will not be as simple as dinner. Maybe she will spend the night outside tonight.
In this season, spending the night outside is extremely difficult.
Snapped!
A crisp voice sounded, and the young Robin stared blankly at the broken vase in front of her, and gradually fear appeared in her eyes.
Run... This was the first thought that came to her.
The man named her uncle, the woman she referred to as her aunt, she never felt a little care and warmth on the two of them, and her status here is even worse than that of a servant.
She even suspected that the reason why she was not kicked out was because she did not do housework every day.
She didn't intentionally break the vase. She was tired and hungry. Every piece of brown bread couldn't afford her growth needs. Her hands were trembling even when she wiped the vase.
But these are not the key. The key is that now the vase is broken. In her aunt's eyes, her existence is not even comparable to an ordinary bowl, let alone the vase in front of her.
In fear, there was already a man in the corner. It was her uncle...
"Huh...huh..."
Somewhere in O'Hara, Robin looked carefully from the corner of the wall. In the end, she still chose to escape, and she could not bear the brutal and inhuman beating. ..
