Chapter 20: land of dreams
Igna opened his eyes.
Looking at the book spread out on the table under the dim yellow flame, he turned over the cover and glanced at the cover of the book, and found that it was a book entitled "The Concept of Creation Myth in the Church's Canon and Its Influence on Natural Mythology". Research Review."
This book... he seems to have just read it today. The author is Azik Eggers.
This is a research journal on the intersection of theology and social folklore. It can be said to be the first of the very insightful academic research journals that Ignatius has read in the library these days.
This book is of great help for Ignatius to understand the myth system, the origin of myths and the formation of folk customs in this world.
The author, Azik Eggers, is an associate professor at Hoy University. He seems to be an authority on Quaternary historical research, but he also has a lot of understanding and insight into mythology, so some works related to theology and folklore will also be published.
Ignat glanced at it like this, and couldn't help being attracted by the author's rigorous exposition, extensive knowledge and fluent writing.
Time flies by reading literature.
After reading the literature very carefully, Ignatius carefully closed the book and put it back in the original place carefully according to the arrangement of the book.
Um... What time is it now?
Igna took out his pocket watch and glanced at it.
Because of his current status, no one can recommend him to apply for a loan card. In order to read related books faster, he can only go out to the library every day to report and read books.
But during the day, he also has work to do. In order to ensure sleep and not be discovered by the team members who prepare breakfast every morning, Igna will get up and return to his residence every day around 3:30 in the morning.
3:30 in the morning...
"It's almost time. Let's see again tomorrow." Igna raised the lantern.
But when Igna raised his head, he suddenly found a gentleman in silk high silk and a double-breasted trench coat standing three meters in front of him. He had the ability to look very good in the dark. Beautiful black hair and black pupils, although the facial features have the profound characteristics unique to Westerners, the facial features are very soft.
He looked at himself very calmly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth. When Ignat saw himself, he nodded politely.
"Hello, Mr. Igna Abraham."
"?!!"
Igna's heart jumped violently, and his fingers stiffened for a moment.
The thief has been discovered!
Also, his real name was called out!
This unscientific! The only people who knew his real name in Constantine were the Night Watchers. Even to contact the informant in the family, he used a pseudonym!
"I'm Chris Sheehan, the Nighthawk." The man introduced himself politely, "I want to know what you are looking at in the library so late?"
Igna was stunned for a moment, very surprised. Although he didn't know what the Nighthawk was called Chris, the man was so well-bred.
But his question also puzzled Igna.
Since he has just read the literature that I have read for so long, he should know what book I am reading? With such an obvious answer to this question, what is he doing? strike up a conversation?
But facing the Nighthawks, Igna still didn't dare to run the train with his mouth full, and he repeated the name of the document magazine he just read.
"Why is Mr. Abraham suddenly so interested in the creation myth?" Chris Sheen asked softly after listening to the lengthy document names patiently.
Ignatius' heart skipped a beat again.
Only at this time did he realize that his brain was a little dull due to the long-term lack of sleep.
He seemed to have forgotten something very important.
How did the Nighthawk know he was in the library?
He was very careful when he went out, he shouldn't be found!
And why didn't the Nighthawks correct his behavior, but instead seemed to have doubts about his motives for reading documents?
In a way, his behavior was indeed suspicious. After all, he looked at these academic research documents as soon as he was "released from prison", which is indeed not like what a "devout believer" would do.
However, Igna quickly calmed down again.
He has been reading books in the library for many days. The goddess did not hand down any punishment either. Explain that the goddess is not against it.
Since the goddess did not object and did not violate the original "oath", then there is an article to do.
"Mr. Sheehan, I swore an oath to the holy relic of the goddess under the witness of Lord Cesima. Even if it is not actually a 'devout believer', I know very well that my words from now on Every line will be watched by the goddess, and you can't do what He doesn't allow, and you can't go against His will." Igna looked into Chris's eyes.
"I'm very grateful to the goddess for her tolerance and kindness, but I am Abraham. I can't be completely religious to the goddess. But I know I can't do this." Igna said, with a wry smile on his face.
"That's why I came to the library to find the answer in books."
Igna looked at the bookshelf, his eyes a little empty: "I want to know if there is any connection between the gods. If history proves that the purposes of the gods are consistent, maybe I can be more religious when doing the 'what the goddess promised'."
"Good eloquence." Chris commented without anger or smile.
"I don't expect you to understand how I feel." Ignatius lowered his eyes and shook his head.
It doesn't matter if you understand it or not The important thing is that if you hear it or not, the goddess didn't punish me, so leave me alone!
Chris Sheehan did not respond immediately, but instead asked, "What did you find?"
Igna lowered his eyes and said, "The myths of creation are all the same. There is no difference between the revelation of the ancestors and the canons of the goddess."
"It should be like this." Chris Sheehan smiled and then asked, "What are your plans next?"
"Keep looking." Igna said, "If you want to convince me, one piece of evidence is not enough, far from enough."
"Okay. You're right, then I can only wish you good luck." Chris Sheen looked at Igna with a determined face and smiled helplessly.
"thanks."
Igna nodded, but suddenly felt dizzy, and then the world was spinning.
Then, he opened his eyes.
... opened your eyes? ?
Igna sat up from the bed in doubt, only to find that there were a few crimson moonlight outside the window, but the sky was already fish belly white, and it was almost dawn.
Are you dreaming just now?
Are you still reading in your dreams? Am I so hardworking? ?
However, it is quite strange to be able to talk to people so rationally in a dream.
However, Igna didn't delve into this matter, he turned over and prepared to go back to sleep.
He only got into bed at four o'clock yesterday! Haven't slept enough yet!
