Chapter 1468 (1/2)

Entering the lower layer of the pyramid, cheese realized again that there were two faces of the city, the one on the surface of the mountain and the one hidden in the shadow of the rocks and deep caves.

There are thirty-six steps down the stairs. This number may be meaningful or just accidental. Judging from the depth, they should be at least three meters below the first floor of the library.

The heavy ceiling above the head blocks all the sounds that may come from above, which may also be the reason why the library uses a large number of magic bookshelves. If all solid wood bookshelves and heavy books above rely on the ground, the project below needs to spend more energy on reinforcement.

The pace did not stop, although fork roads began to appear on both sides of the corridor, and the width and depth of these fork roads were completely different. Some turned quickly, while others extended inward without seeing the end.

If he was not very sure of his position, cheese would suspect that he had inadvertently entered an ancient underground fortress or a mountain fortress abandoned by dwarves, or a huge maze of terrible monsters.

”What you built under the library is no simpler than what you built above. Won't it be very troublesome during construction? You have to start from the bottom before you can seal the soil. It's hard to imagine how many years it will take. ”

Cheese followed the female mage down a few steps, looked at the walls that were no longer stone bricks, and whispered. Obviously, it is not used as a secret room with low frequency. All kinds of evidence show that it is actually frequently accessed by people.

”Well, it's not what you think.” Mrs. wynett shrugged,

”The upper and lower floors of this building were built at the same time, but the construction sites were different. The workers who built the large library did not know that in the rocks under their feet, another group of people were digging the mountain to continue to expand the outer edge of the pyramid downward. In fact, the building area in the mountain is larger than that on the ground, but most of its space is used for specific purposes. ”

”Specific purpose?” Cheese raised his eyebrows and repeated these four words in a low voice. There are not many things that need to occupy a large amount of space for a long time. After removing the functions of the library and combined with the development trend of the city of ten thousand methods, the service of those spaces is about to come out.

The purpose of the so-called ceremony is to make the city rise from the ground, and the method of rising from the ground or the required devices may be placed in the secret space under the most important buildings in the whole city. If so, this place may be the most confidential place of the city of ten thousand laws.

”Don't worry, there is no real shame in this city. Everything comes from knowledge, and knowledge can't emerge out of thin air. All Dharma mages understand this, so they won't build a secret place, at least for other mages. ” The female mage seemed to see the concern of cheese and said softly.

Secrets are undoubtedly an obstacle to the progress made through sharing. Mages call themselves decryptors and are not interested in creating more secrets. Of course, sharing and communication are not unconditional. For those who are not recognized by the mage of the city of ten thousand dharmas, there are secrets everywhere.

”I hope so. I don't want to conflict with the managers here because I see something I shouldn't see. But then again, if it's so important here, wouldn't it be better to cover up these channels? ”

”That's not necessary. Because these channels are not all meaningful. The above library has been in use for many years, but the project here has not actually stopped. It can only be said that part of it is about to be completed in stages. In the most ambitious plan, the pyramid will continue to extend downward until the mountain is completely turned into an artificial creation. However, if I say that such construction is really meaningless, and the lighting conditions here are too poor. Plants can't survive except moss and mushrooms. We didn't build this city to make ourselves live like cavemen. ”
