Chapter 31: Chronicles of Varela
Looking at Gao Yuan's happy expression after taking a deep breath, Chen Fan felt his scalp tingling.
"Apart from the church's chronicles, are there any other chronicles in the library?"
He asked in a low voice, suppressing the discomfort in his heart.
"Other chronicles?"
Gao Yuan showed a trace of confusion on his face. After careful thinking, he suddenly realized: "You mean the chronicles of Varela?"
Chen Fan's expression moved.
Varela?
It sounds a bit like a place name...
Just as Chen Fan was thinking, Gao Yuan's voice came from the side: "Varela is the name of this city."
"From the look of you, you should have forgotten it, right?"
"Your amnesia is quite serious..."
Chen Fan was stunned, and then hurriedly nodded and responded: "Yes, yes, yes! Indeed..."
"Well, this amnesia is indeed quite serious!"
At this moment, in Chen Fan's eyes, Gao Yuan's image began to rise infinitely.
What is a noble person? This is called a noble person! !
Gao Yuan did not notice the strange look on Chen Fan's face. He walked directly to the depths of the library: "Varilla is the second kingdom of God built by the goddess for her people."
"Varilla protects the believers of the goddess from the invasion of the dirty air from the outside world. It is the greatest miracle given to the world by the goddess after her advent."
The greatest miracle?
The second kingdom of God?
Resisting the dirty air from the outside world?
Gao Yuan's mysterious words once again aggravated Chen Fan's confusion.
It sounds like the city he is in is still an incredible technological creation?
But...
since he traveled through time, he has not found anything unusual in this city!
In Chen Fan's opinion, the most technologically advanced buildings in this city may be the four pyramid-shaped cathedrals and the equipment suspected to be molten salt tower energy storage power stations.
In addition, the statues of gods and voice-controlled incandescent lamps that function as surveillance barely have some technological content.
The rest...
high EQ is hard to describe, and low EQ is relying on defense.
You can't say that those low concrete bungalows and some potholes in the cement road are high-tech products, right?
While Chen Fan was thinking, Gao Yuan stopped in front of a bright and beautiful wooden bookshelf.
He raised his hand and easily took down a heavy book from the top of the bookshelf: "Found it, the Chronicle of Varela."
"This is a unique copy. This is the only book in the entire church that records all the history of Varela in detail."
...
"Hiss..."
Looking at the Chronicle of Varela in front of him, Chen Fan couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and exclaimed at the same time.
"My God, the church is so fucking rich!"
Unlike ordinary books.
The size of the Chronicle of Varela is very "huge".
It can even be compared to a small crib!
In order to prevent corrosion and insect infestation, the pages and covers of the entire chronicle have been soaked in a substance that looks like tung oil.
Perhaps in order to increase the sense of heaviness and sacredness of history, the church has also added a lot of decorations made of precious metals to the Chronicle of Varela.
Even the cover of the book is made of gold!
It really verifies the old saying: There is a golden house in the book.
Undoubtedly, these two measures have greatly increased the thickness of the book.
Knowledge has weight.
Chen Fan did not understand this sentence before.
But at the moment when Gao Yuan handed the chronicle to him lightly, Chen Fan instantly realized the meaning of this sentence.
"Fuck!"
Chen Fan, holding the chronicle in his hand, blushed, and several blue veins popped out on his neck: "Old, Old Gao!!"
"Sorry, sorry."
Gao Yuan caught the shaky Varela Chronicle with one hand, then scratched his head with the other hand with a wry smile: "I forgot how heavy this book is..."
Looking at the Chronicle that was steady in Gao Yuan's hand, Chen Fan couldn't help but fall into silence.
Is his body... so weak?
"Bang."
With a dull sound, Gao Yuan threw the Varela Chronicle on the wooden table made of solid wood beside him.
The heavy wooden table trembled visibly and made a creaking sound under the weight.
Okay.
He can now be sure that it is not his problem.
Chen Fan was silent for a moment and cast his eyes on Gao Yuan's arm.
It was an extremely normal flesh and blood body.
Gao Yuan noticed Chen Fan's gaze, and rolled up his sleeves with a smile, showing Chen Fan his strong arm that was bronzed under the light: "I remember that you also looked like you saw a ghost when you first saw me."
"No blessing from the gods."
"I'm just a little stronger than ordinary people."
Chen Fan's eyes twitched.
Are you sure this is called a bigger one?
"Here, the chronicle is on the table. You can ask me any questions at any time."
Gao Yuan pointed to the Chronicle of Varela on the wooden table, then took a book from the bookshelf, sat on the chair next to the wooden table and read the book silently.
...
The book cover made of pure gold has a very textured feel.
On the cover, the name of the book is marked with large black characters in hot gold.
Chronicle of Varela.
There is no author, only the title of the book.
Chen Fan carefully opened the golden cover of the Chronicle of Varela and read it carefully.
[In the first year of the Varela calendar, countless blazing fireballs appeared in the sky, and invisible forces ravaged the world and wiped out countless lives. ]
[The Lord could not bear to see his people suffer, so he descended from the Kingdom of God. ]
[The Lord extinguished the blazing fireballs in the sky and resisted the power that was enough to tear the world apart. ]
[The Lord brought down a miracle, and Varela became the second kingdom of the goddess from then on, standing tall in the world. 】
【……】
Just a glance, Chen Fan was stunned: "Old Gao, what time is it now?"
"Time?" Gao Yuan raised his head and glanced at the somewhat blurry clock projection on the metal wall, "3:49 in the afternoon, it's still early for lunch."
"……"
"I mean, what year is it now?"
"2067, you can't have forgotten even this?" Gao Yuan glanced at the content of the first page of the chronicle, and then suddenly realized: "If you are talking about the Varela calendar, it should be 159 years."
After seeing Chen Fan's confusion, Gao Yuan briefly explained:
"The Varela calendar is a calendar used only within the church. It is not only related to gods, but also has a slightly different calculation method, so this calendar has not been circulated among the people."
"Ordinary people are still used to using the old calendar."
Chen Fan frowned: "Aren't they all calendars? What's the difference?"
"The length of a year in the Varela calendar is not fixed. Its length mainly depends on the oracle of the goddess."
Hearing this, Chen Fan was stunned.
Is there a calendar with an irregular time in this world?
I've really learned a lot.
No wonder this calendar can't be spread among the people - who would ask the goddess for her opinion before looking at the calendar?
Not to mention whether there is such a time.
Even if there is, wouldn't the goddess be annoyed? !
