I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts
Chapter 659 - 19: Elder God Language
The library at the Marian Mansion is even larger than Han Zhan imagined.
It’s almost the size of a real library, grand and magnificent.
Upon entering, the view is surrounded by displayed books, with a spiraling classical wooden ladder in the center.
On its left and right sides, there are two lifelike bronze statues.
Indeed, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse.
Moreover, the faction Marian belongs to hasn’t completely fallen.
Han Zhan sighed with emotion in his heart and continued to walk inside.
The library was empty at the moment.
It seems that at the Marian Mansion, the bright and charming dancers and muscular dance men are more appealing than lifeless books.
Which was just as well, Han Zhan was happy to be alone.
His search was clear: the history related to Yongsha Star and clues that might intersect with the purpose of his trip.
The library before him was enormous, which had both advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage was that there was a vast collection of books, most likely ranking among the top on Yongsha Star, with a high probability of finding the information he needed.
The disadvantage was that the numerous books made precise searching quite laborious.
Furthermore, due to the Spiritual Ability Suppressor, he couldn’t use trickery and was forced to look through them earnestly.
Fortunately, at the end of the spiral ladder, Han Zhan found a huge library catalogue, saving him quite a bit of work.
"Yongsha Star," "Biographies of Yongsha Star’s Legendary Figures," "Grains of History," "Verification of Yongsha Star Legends," "The Divide and Union of Northern and Southern Powers," "The Transition of Power"...
After spending more than an hour, Han Zhan filtered out about forty to fifty books and began to patiently flip through them.
On the other side.
Marianne was just attending a disgusting and perverted multi-racial ball, the filthy scenes almost equating to a nightmare for the spirit.
Yet, the noblewomen were accustomed to it, some even found delight.
To fit into this circle, Marianne could only endure sitting there, forcing a smile.
During the ball, Lady Dais approached with two glasses of alcohol, her gaze occasionally sweeping over the male alien on the stage with a look of satisfied desire.
"Care for a drink?" Lady Dais asked with a smile.
Marianne shook her head, politely declining her offer.
"What’s the matter, overworked last night? You look uninterested; I heard that human guest stayed in your room all night?"
Lady Dais asked provocatively.
Marianne’s lips curled into a smile, not denying it:
"That was indeed a memorable and wonderful experience."
She was not lying; having a peaceful sleep undisturbed by nightmares indeed felt memorable to her.
Lady Dais’s lips, coated in light purple, slightly parted in surprise.
"It’s the first time I’ve seen you satisfied with a human, dear. You know, within our circle, there’s talk that you don’t actually like humans, just playing along."
Lady Dais’s words made Marianne cover her mouth and chuckle softly.
"I’m just picky. You see, if I find the right slave, I can keep him off his feet for three days and nights."
Marianne’s answer seemed to satisfy Lady Dais.
She nodded with a hint of envy in her voice, tinged with mild jealousy: "When will you invite me to your mansion, I really want to see what kind of slave earns such fondness from you."
"Giggling." Marianne continued to laugh softly, "Of course, anytime."
...
Achoo, Achoo, Achoo!
Han Zhan sneezed several times, rubbing his itchy nose.
Unknowingly, he had spent an entire day in the library.
Thanks to the Bodhi Treasure Tree’s enhancement and refining of mental consciousness and insight, he could glance through pages without forgetting, achieving high efficiency.
Han Zhan’s efforts were not unrewarded.
Through reading the books about Yongsha Star, he learned plenty of historical records and legends related to Yongsha Star:
"Two thousand five hundred seventy-seven years ago, the Yongsha Star People saw their deity, the Master of Yongsha Star, for the last time."
"They saw Him fly to the high skies, conversing with some indistinct light forms, though they couldn’t understand the content."
"The High Priest of Yongsha Star at the time recorded their conversation by engraving stone tablets. For a long time afterward, the successors of the High Priest spent their lives studying these tablets, yielding some findings."
"The High Priest of Yongsha Star named their language, Ancient Divine Language."
Ancient Divine Language.
Upon seeing this record, Han Zhan’s first impulse was whether those indistinct light forms were the same he saw at the end of the River of Time.
His second thought was, whether the lineage of High Priests on Yongsha Star, having studied Ancient Divine Language for thousands of years, might translate the conversations in his memory?!
This discovery excited Han Zhan.
Although the lineage of High Priests at Yongsha Star was sparse and elusive, as long as there was a goal, there was hope.
Moreover, finding the High Priest of Yongsha Star and the tablets would be the best proof of the Master of Yongsha Star’s true existence.
"The forces on Yongsha Star origins from various tribes."
"After the deity disappeared, billions of yellow sands buried the entire Yongsha Star, including all its civilizations, only a few tribes survived."
"These tribes gradually grew, becoming the different forces on Yongsha Star, controlling water sources and oases."
"One hundred fifty-eight years ago. South of Uda Desert, traces of Interstellar Hyenas appeared for the first time."
"Within a hundred years, they defeated and occupied the south of Yongsha Star, becoming the sole overlord of that region."
"To counter the challenge from Interstellar Hyenas, the northern forces of the Uda Desert ceased internal conflicts, uniting to resist the encroachment of the north by the Interstellar Hyenas."
"Thirty years ago, a humanoid calling himself ’Mass’ appeared, he completely unified the southern forces, renamed them Alliance Army. Under his command, the Alliance Army found its footing, successfully halting the plunder and occupation by Interstellar Hyenas."
This concerning the two major forces on Yongsha Star, the entanglement and history between Interstellar Hyenas and the Alliance Army.
It was recorded in "The Divide and Union of Northern and Southern Powers."
Its author is "Brage," a self-proclaimed interstellar traveler.
From an objective third-party perspective, he witnessed the entire process firsthand.
If described as in the book, then this Brage is probably over two hundred years old?
I wonder if he is still on Yongsha Star.
Thinking of this, Han Zhan gathered his thoughts, raising his head to look towards the library’s entrance.
Soon, a shadow appeared there.
"Lord Zhan, madam has returned, you are to attend her bedroom."
