Civilization of Azeroth: Start the Great Pyramid Chapter 34

Walking through the deep corridor, Li De and the others finally came to the Hall of High Priests at the core of Zanchur.

In the Hall of High Priests, there are not only the parliamentary hall dealing with government affairs, but also the Intelligence Office, the Statistics Office, the War Hall and the History Museum.

Several other places are highly confidential. After everyone knew the responsibilities of those halls, they immediately did not even look at them to avoid suspicion.

Passing through the quaint stone gate, everyone was immediately shocked by the sight in front of them. This is a pavilion with a height of ten meters, but the walls cannot be seen at all, because they are blocked by bookshelves reaching the ceiling. sight.

Here you can see the classics of various historical periods: slate books in the ignorant period; gold books and copper plate books in ancient times; parchment scrolls in the middle ages and paper books in modern times. It is conservatively estimated that there are nearly 100 people in this historical museum arranging and transcribing.

"Organizing history is an incomparably huge project. It records all the history from before the Zandalar Empire to the present.

When King Rastakhan came to the throne, he issued an order to sort out and compile all the history recorded here into a great general history, in order to show the glory of the empire.

The Great King has ruled Zandalar for two hundred years, and this huge project has also been carried out for two hundred years. During this period, there have been several changes to the draft, and today it has finally reached the final stage.

Of course, now that you are here, the history of Zul'Farrak will also be rewritten. "

Yazma's tone was very ordinary, but Li De was already dumbfounded. What kind of audacity should it take to compile a history book in two hundred years? !

As we all know, the so-called general history is actually a comprehensive outline sorted out from the vast sea of ​​historical documents. It is more like a catalog. If future generations want to study the history of dating in depth, they can search for more first-hand information through the general history.

But it was such an outline, and it took the Zandalar two hundred years to complete.

For such a huge project, I am afraid that only a country with a long history like Zandalar is capable of doing it.

Yazma will take Niebuhr to the Zandalari Historian to confirm with him the history of the ancient Zul'Farrak, and at the same time continue the history of the new Zul'Farrak.

Li De is not a sand troll, so this matter really can't help.

Seeing that he had become an unrelated person, Li De suddenly had some other ideas.

"Ms. Yazma, can I have a look at the information here?"

This made Yazma a little worried. It was a violation of the law for her to bring Li De in. If Li De was allowed to read it, it would be a huge sin if it caused damage to these historical materials.

But Li De soon made a promise.

"I just looked at the names of the various history books on the shelf and made sure not to touch them."

Only then did Yazma breathe a sigh of relief, because she didn't know what Rastakha's attitude towards Reed was, and she couldn't refuse bluntly.

"Wait a minute, even if I am here, I have to get the elder's permission first."

The one in charge here is the most knowledgeable historian in Zandalar, and he has absolute power in the compilation of history books. In the history museum, even the God King Rastakhan and the Prophet Zul must respect his opinions.

Contrary to what Li De imagined, he thought the elder would be a rickety old troll. Unexpectedly, this elder's face and voice are old, but his waist is straight and energetic. Although his body is slightly thin, the muscles on his arms are still very strong.

Facing this elder, Yazma rarely said a lot. After listening to Yazma's detailed introduction about Li De, the elder nodded.

"The human race who rescued the sand trolls from embarrassment and brought them here... You are qualified to visit here. You can read the names of the history books on the bookshelves, but you must not reach out and touch them."

Li De hurriedly agreed, he really had respect for people with great knowledge.

Li De, who got permission, began to shuttle among the bookshelves. In addition to the bookshelves that covered all four walls, there were also hundreds of huge bookshelves in the center of the history museum. In order to facilitate people to take materials, there were even many ladders and springboards in the middle of the bookshelves.

Li De has not yet climbed the steps, but the position on the ground within his sight is enough to give him a lot of shock.

In this history museum, although the recorded history is dominated by trolls, there are also a large number of histories of other races. And the writing style that records history is also in full bloom.

Most of them are national history books such as "History of Zandalar", "History of Amani", "History of Gurubashi", "History of Night Elf", "History of High Elves", but there are also books like Ancient Kalim Chronicles such as "Many Histories", and even personal biographical history books such as "The History of Thor".

Walking back and forth between the bookshelves many times, Li De's eyes were hot. The prosperity of Zandalar's literature made him envious, and he really had the urge to take these history books off the bookshelf and read them.

But he finally restrained his impulse and returned to the table where everyone compiled the general history.

At this time, several sand trolls were talking with a doctor who edited the history of Zul'Farrak in the lounge in the history museum. At present, this doctor is telling them to Niebuhr. After the doctor has finished speaking, he will have to Niebuhr told him about what happened to Zul'Farrak.

The sound insulation effect of the lounge is very good, mainly to prevent interference with the work here.

Li De and Yazma were standing at the long table where the elders were working, waiting for Niebuhr and the doctor.

Li De, who had nothing to do, couldn't help but glanced at the general catalogue the Great Elder was writing. The troll's words belong to hieroglyphics, which Li De can roughly understand.

He saw that this general history ended in the following: Zandalari went to Zul'Gurub to seal the blood **** Hakkar, the formation of the Seven Kingdoms of the Human Race, and the Battle of the Three Hammers of the Dwarves. This made Li De sigh heavily.

In the quiet history museum, apart from rummaging through materials and the sound of writing, there is no other sound.

Li De sighed abruptly, and instantly made everyone turn their attention to him.

Seeing everyone staring at him unkindly, Li De apologized repeatedly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose. I suddenly thought of something and lost my mind."

However, what he didn't expect was that the elder would not listen to his defense. He knew that Li De was looking at the general catalogue he wrote and sighed. A mere human race with a short lifespan sighed at him, the Zandalari elder, clearly questioning his achievements!

"Why are you sighing? Is there something wrong with my compilation, old man?"

In the previous conversation, this elder was relatively calm. But when it comes to the issue of general history, the words of this old troll clearly contain murderous intent!

Li De felt the hostility from all the troll scholars, and instantly his pressure was huge. Good guy, they have carried out a major project for two hundred years, does he dare to question it?

But at this time, a pale apology can't be fooled, but Li De can only express his true thoughts.

"You are all very knowledgeable. Of course I don't think there is a problem with your work. I just saw your ending, and I feel that the history is endless."

Li De's words made the elder's eyes bright, and he chewed the taste in the words.

"Haohaotangtang is never ending... This sentence is very profound, but you haven't finished your words yet, right?"

Li De carefully chose his words and sentences, and said it carefully.

"It's great that you have compiled this great work, which contains almost the most detailed history of the mortals of Azeroth. But what is your purpose in compiling a general history? I think in addition to highlighting the greatness of the Zandalar, there are also I just hope to find out the historical laws in this, sum up the lessons of the predecessors, so as not to make the mistakes of the past."

Elder Zandalar smiled and nodded in satisfaction.

"Yes, a human race can have such a deep insight into history. You are indeed unusual. But you still didn't say the reason for your sigh."

Li De gritted his teeth and simply gave up.

"I sigh because this masterpiece was born at an untimely time. If it had been published ten years earlier, it might have become the greatest book on Azeroth. It is a pity that in today's Azeroth, it has not been seen in ten thousand years. Under the great change of the situation, it is a little out of time."

Now the Great Elder can basically be sure that Li De is not an ignorant madman, so he didn't show any anger, but asked calmly.

"It's empty talk, what's your basis?"

Seeing that the other party's attitude was not very bad, Li De was relieved.

"Just five years ago, in the swamp in the southern part of the Eastern Kingdom, a huge door of darkness was opened, and the orcs from another world invaded the continent of Azeroth.

More than a year ago, those orcs captured Stormwind Kingdom. Today, they continue to devour the Eastern Kingdom. Regardless of the outcome of this war, the world of Azeroth will change dramatically.

At this time, continuing to study the history of Azeroth in isolation is ultimately one-sided. "

Li De's remarks made the expressions of the scholars look extremely dazed.

"Dark Gate?"

"another world?"

"Beastman?"

"what is that?"

This kind of reaction from the scholars caught Li De off guard. The dignified Zandalar Empire has been blocked by the news. Don't you even know about such a big thing as the Orc War? !

In the end, Yazma couldn't stand it anymore. She hadn't participated in the conversation before, and just watched Li De's death from the sidelines. But I didn't expect this guy to have the means to stop the elder's anger, and he even talked back and forth.

"Cough, Marshal Li De doesn't know something. For the sake of history, the doctors and elders have not been out of this room for ten years. In the past ten years, you have even solved all kinds of daily life here. Faced with this information, he has never been exposed to outside information.

We must have carefully collected important information about the orc invasion. It's just that I don't think it's necessary to report this to the scholars.

From ancient times to the present, there have been too many wars in Azeroth. There are many wars with more serious consequences than the orc invasion, and this war is still going on. It is irresponsible to rashly record an event that has no results and has not yet been concluded. "

Yazma explained so much, of course UU reading www.uukanshu.com didn't want Li De to look down on Zandalar. Even the goblins knew about the orc invasion, why wouldn't they know?

After hearing Yazma's words, the first elder was still thinking, and the other doctors who compiled history books spoke up.

"The words of High Priest Yazma are justified. A war that has not yet been finalized cannot be rashly recorded in the history books. And even if this is not considered, as you said... the invasion of the orcs is nothing but the destruction of a human race. kingdom.

How many powerful empires in history, didn't they still say that they perished in the long river of time? Is it the short history and lifespan of the human race that makes you make such a fuss?

This kind of contemporary history will be left to future generations to sort out. "

Li De obviously noticed that when the scholar said this, the elder's brows were obviously wrinkled. He knew he made the right bet, and immediately said it.

"It's not the same, this war is different from the past, and it cannot be viewed from the perspective of the internal war in Azeroth. This is an invasion from another world.

Completely unfamiliar races, completely different world systems, they have a long and independent history.

If you ignore all this, you can't understand the internal logic of this invasion. Even if this war is over, Azeroth will not learn its lesson if it pretends not to see it.

And I believe that for many years to come, these orcs who invaded Azeroth will continue to shape our world. Without understanding the history of the orc world, our future will spiral out of control.

To be honest, as a victim of war, it is always difficult for humans, including me, to study the history of orcs impartially. For Azeroth, a race must stand up and do something. "
