Chapter 144 Public Reading Room
The work Clowett is responsible for seems to be leisurely and leisurely. She only needs to recite the water-calling spell in a low voice and tease the birds to water it.
But the reality is that this job is definitely not simple and easy.
Asking for the power of the Twins of the Sea to attract clear spring water to fill the stone basin is not a task that every believer can accomplish...and only girls with two souls who are favored by the Twins of the Sea can accomplish it so easily. , successfully summoning the nourishing spring water every time.
As for Watson, he really just came here to do odd jobs, assisting Crowett in transporting goods, and was responsible for sweeping away the bird droppings in the cage, acting as fertilizer for the copper pear tree, and burying it under the roots of the tree.
According to Crowett, these two small trees are not products derived from nature, but are strange species born under the influence of an unknown Sichen. They should not exist in the world in the first place, so they must be preserved. Use the things nourished by the power of the Sea Twins who are closely related to this Si Chen to extend the life of these two small trees that should have withered and died long ago.
At that time, Watson asked the unknown Si Chen what his origin was.
But even if Crowett lowered her mind and asked her sister Emma inside her body, she only received a shake of her head answer. Even her sister didn't know. She only knew that these two small trees were transplanted by Mr. Winfrey one day. He also sent the matching moon disk, stone basin and twin kites, and then left the kite feed and the method of summoning spring water... Fortunately, my sister had already learned the Fucino language through books in the public reading room. , otherwise we really wouldn’t be able to complete this leisurely work so smoothly.
Watson then asked: "Fucino?"
When Clovette heard this question, she immediately raised her hand and answered as if she had been waiting for a long time: "Crowette knows the answer to this question!"
"It is said that the Fucino language originated from Lake Fucino in central Italy. However, the lake has evolved into a swamp, but some scholars have still discovered this writing on ancient stone tablets next to the swamp."
"This is a language that has a lot in common with Latin, but some of its syllables have the power of the twins of the sea."
"Legend has it that in ancient times, the Twins of the Sea once lived in Lake Fucino. They would rise at the full moon and spread foolish passions to the nearby sinners. The twins who lived on the east side of Lake Fucino Mortals would carve puppets and throw them into the lake to appease the twins."
"And those criminals who have been punished by the twins will frantically murmur garbled Latin until they die of thirst."
"Some wise ancestors felt the magical power from the confused language recited by the sinners before they died, so they copied and recorded them."
"Because when you recite this language for a long time, you have to sip water to moisten your throat, otherwise you will die of thirst, so the hidden world calls this language the 'Language of Dryness'."
"Hehe, how is it?! I didn't expect that I could have such a smart moment!" After finishing speaking, Crowett proudly put her hands on her hips and said quite proudly: "This knowledge is even from the ancient books in the public reading room. There’s no record of it in the book, but a beautiful young lady Crowette met in Mansu told me about it!”
"It's amazing. I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable, Crovette!" Watson clapped cooperatively again.
After this episode was over, the two went to the late-night snack canteen together. Watson also received the free energy drink provided for working overtime at night. He swayed 30 ml of nectar in a glass test tube and saw the pale golden viscous liquid. It seems to be mixed with tiny particles like starlight. If you shake it for a moment, those particles will jump around like irritated little bugs, almost spewing out sticky nectar and jumping out of the test tube.
Although Watson felt in his heart that this was nothing more than that. He had eaten more disgusting and fresh insect eggs during wild survival training in another timeline, but at this moment, in order to fit Watson's identity, he still inadvertently revealed A cold expression.
When Crowett saw his embarrassment, the smile between her eyebrows bloomed even more enthusiastically. She laughed and drank up her energy drink in one gulp, and then stretched out her pink tongue with unsatisfied intentions. Licking the residue at the corner of his mouth, he signaled that there was no need to worry and he could drink it with confidence!
Watson then raised the test tube and drank it in one gulp, as if he had been encouraged.
He only felt that the pale golden nectar was extremely smooth in his mouth, almost sliding deep into his esophagus. Before he could even taste the taste, the nectar, which was like a ball, had already slipped into his stomach in the blink of an eye.
Watson could immediately feel that the nectar in his stomach seemed to be burning and exuding weak vitality. The warm vitality was like ripples on the water, spreading towards the limbs and bones in circles. The muscles that were slightly tired due to staying up late and working suddenly began to become soft and soft, as if there were countless pairs of small hands in the body massaging every muscle fiber to relieve fatigue.
Even the heart in the soul body seemed to be inspired, and it beat a little stronger.
Watson put down the glass test tube with a look of surprise on his face, and he also licked his lips.
Crowett looked at her good friend whose attitude had changed completely with a smile, "How about John, doesn't it taste good?"
Watson nodded seriously, "I can't taste it, but my body does feel warm, and the muscle fatigue seems to have completely disappeared."
"Haha, this is the welfare of our religious group. We are not like the capitalists outside who want our employees to work overtime but refuse to give them reasonable remuneration... This nectar can not only relieve fatigue, but it can also be used for a long time. It makes the mind thrive, and our actions of staying up late and working are also the permanence and movement of the principles of the mind.”
"This two-pronged approach can double our secret transmission strength!"
Crowett said forcefully: "This is also the main reason why our religious order can develop so powerfully!"
Watson nodded, seemingly thoughtful, but he did not refute or question, but quietly returned the test tube.
After eating the midnight snack, he and Crovette also got a rare free break.
He said goodbye to the girl who planned to chat and gossip with other female church members in the cafeteria, and then headed to the public reading room.
The public reading room is not covered by emerald roots, but there is a door that is ajar, and a few rows of messy bookshelves can be barely seen through the gap.
It says on the door - No books taken outside! Those who disobey the order will be thrown into prison!
