"Basic Tools Theory".
A book compiled by the Grand Secretary of the Sage City more than a hundred years ago introduces the development history and usage methods of various tools, which is equivalent to a history book and instruction manual of tools.
Augustus flipped it casually. Due to the slow development of technology, most of the tools in the books are still in use today, but he was not here to get archaeology, and he was not interested in studying backward tools and history.
Another book was put aside.
"Haina's Poetry Collection", "On the Circumference", "On the Geometry"...
After reading one by one, there were not many books that could arouse August's interest. There was no way. Whether it was thought or science, it was almost two thousand years apart. Augustus stood on the shoulders of countless giants and looked down. Of course, everything seemed very small and tender.
However, not all books were placed aside by Augustus turning a few pages. A book called "Jueta's Views and Experiences" successfully attracted his attention. The author is Yuetta in the title, which can be regarded as his travel diary.
Augustus, as usual, first made a rough recap of "Jueta's Views and Experiences". There were few illustrations in the book, and most of them were recorded in words. He thought that this was what the reading material should look like. He could no longer bear the rough and abstract illustrations, so it would be better to have more words to be realistic.

[The boat is the child of the Mother of Dahai. My little wooden boat lingers in the arms of the Mother of Yuanhai. Maybe there is no chance to return to the Heloyk continent. The Juanweihua in the Principal of Zinal is so beautiful. I want to take a look again in the spring next year. If the Lord God is hanging down the curtain, please let the words I left behind walk through the wind and waves and return to the Heloyk continent.]
Back to the first page, the unique opening remark successfully aroused August's curiosity.
"Yuanhai? Where is Yuanhai? Is the ocean to the west of the continent?" Augustus asked to himself. Baihai knew that the name Yuanhai was very unfamiliar.
"The sea of Yuan is the ocean south of the Heloyk continent."
Maranna's voice sounded, and Augustus was watching from the side while he was reading the book.
"Hey, let me go... A bird not only speaks human language, but also knows human words. You must have changed humans, and you will quickly show your true form to me."
Augustus teased Maranna and stood up and walked towards the pile of books. He remembered getting a map of the mainland from the Sage House.
Maranna seemed to have not heard Augustus's words, and it held the corner of the page and turned the page and continued to look back.
“Finally found.”
Augustus pulled out a scroll of maps from the pile of books, spreading the map on the ground as big as a tabletop, and should have used a whole sheepskin. The map was drawn very old and the country map was completely different from the present. He heard no name of the kingdom from Harro's poems, but the City of Sage and the Kingdom of Gods were in sight, marked in the middle and south of the map. It is conceivable that these two forces have lived for a long time.
The map depicts some islands in the Heloyk continent and the western waters. The northern White Sea and the east bank of the White River did not appear on the map. Augustus easily found the location of the Abyss. At the southernmost end of the entire map, it was very sketchy and only used some water ripples instead. I think the exploration of that area is not detailed.
Augustus sat back at the desk after reading the map, and Marana restored the page to the page he was looking at.
[My life wandering around is full of wonderful eyes. From the source of the Baihe River to the south, the majestic of the ancient castle of Kerdo... the magnificent Pushiphis Dam... the sunrise and sunset of the Libian Peak... Now I am lying in the arms of Yuanhai's mother, and I am about to finish my last journey...]
Then comes a long memory of Yuetta, a description of the scenic spots in Khloyk.
Augustus was eager to learn about Yuetta's experience on the sea of the sea, so he quickly turned the book back, and the relevant content appeared again after five pages.
[The moon sets and sunrises, and the cheap but extremely precious fishing rod breaks in the early morning. The old guy accompanied me all the way from the Kingdom of Lorraine. Finally... I lost my only predation tool. The beautiful sea of abyss is like a blue grave, about to bury me.]
There are not many words on this page, and there is a pair of illustrations and a fishing rod that is broken into two pieces.
The illustrations are still rough and abstract, but Augustus could feel Yuetta's despair at that time. He eagerly turned over the pages, but fortunately it was not the last page.
[It's a beautiful morning again. I'm so hungry that I can eat a whole slope sheep. I think I've had hallucinations. I saw a big tree on the sea, a big tree in the sky? A dense forest appeared in the distance. Oh my God... The leopards ran and the elk jumped. If it weren't for the hallucination, thanks to the Lord God, I finally returned to the Heloyk continent, but I never knew there was such a forest south of the continent?]
[Facts have proved that I did not have hallucinations. The forest does exist, not only forests, but also soil, dwarf trees, berries and flowers! When I wrote this line, I was only a few arrows away from the shore. Lord God, I admire your kindness.]
[After countless days and nights, I finally stepped onto the land again, but I don’t know where this is. The trees here are extremely tall, far taller than any tree on the Hloyk continent. Even if I lay on my back, I couldn’t see the top of the tree. I think I discovered another continent outside the Hloyk continent!]
"It's interesting."
Augustus remembers that there were some islands on the map on the west side of the Hloyk continent, but there was nothing in the south. The location of the Abyss was just a ripples of water, so he continued to read the book.
[The merciful Lord God, I finally returned to the Heloyk continent...]
"Um?"
Augustus was a little puzzled and quickly rubbed the pages to confirm that he had not skipped the pages, but the content was really jumping a lot. The previous chapter was still in an unknown place, so why did he go back to Heloyk immediately? He continued to read.
[No one knows what I have experienced on the land in the abyss sea, and I don’t even know it myself, but I can be sure that I saw a person. Before I fell into a coma, I saw agile figure rushing out of the dense forest, a woman with a perfect figure! Believe me, it’s not the hallucination that I miss my snow-white thighs and XX, I did see a woman…]
[Who can believe that there are footprints of human civilization in the Abyss Sea? The glory of the Seven Gods shines on the world outside the Hloyk continent! But when I woke up again, I was lying in a border town in the Kingdom of Baltan. Which god could tell me how I crossed the Abyss Sea and returned to the Hloyk continent, or was it just a dream?]
The whole book ends here.
Augustus began to read the content skipped before, mostly based on the description of scenery, supplemented by the folk customs and interesting stories of various regions. From the countries where Yuetta traveled, it can be seen that the book will not last more than a hundred years at most. If it is not mixed with the content related to Yuanhai, it is a very orthodox travel diary.
"Does there be other civilizations in this world?"
Augustus murmured softly and frowned slightly. He guessed that the women Yuetta saw in the mysterious continent might not be of the same category as the people in the Heloyk continent, perhaps other civilizations or other subspecies.
