Chapter 410: Chapter 248 Attitude of the Great Nobles_2
Now the vast library was open to Tang Mo, all sorts of expensive books ready to be read at will, an opportunity that was truly rare.
Noticing that Tang Mo was already engrossed in the books, the old butler silently withdrew, and even managed to close the door without making a sound.
Tang Mo then opened the book to find it was a mythological text.
“The world was originally chaotic and unordered, and after the Main God was born in the form of a cat, It realized that this world was no longer worth cherishing.”
“The Main God left behind Its whiskers before departing from this place. Its whiskers slowly grew, and in the Shadows, they gained their own consciousness, thus becoming the Goddess of Mercy.”
“The loving Goddess, seeing the miserable state of things here, deemed it tragic. The Goddess’s tears caught the attention of an Outer God, who sympathized with the Goddess’s plight and lent Its power to her.”
“The Goddess began to reconstruct the world with the power of the Outer God, and the world, full of holes, gradually took shape. Using the remnants of the world, the Goddess created all beings and lent Her power to the Priests. The former High Priests used the Goddess’s power to build more than a dozen cities, and Yifate was one of them.”
“First-class nobles were the descendants of the High Priests, their blood noble and pure. Fifth-class nobles were the guards of the High Priest, their loyalty sacred and steadfast. The world was rightly managed by them.”
Having quickly flipped through the entire book, Tang Mo felt that although it was labeled mythology, there were many parts that seemed to reflect reality.
He surmised that this was probably related to the relatively recent formation of the city. The history of Yifate and other major cities spanned only a few centuries; mythology and history were still intertwined, with many genuine elements mixed in.
Jotting down the content of interest, Tang Mo turned to the second book.
This book was titled “The Secrets of the Magician”, with an unknown author.
At the beginning of the book, the author stated a fact: Magic is merely a natural gift, and cannot be acquired later in life.
Magic is a loophole in the fabric of the world. When a certain child is born, the Laws encounter an issue with their body, granting them the innate ability to see and control the loopholes of the world.
However, this ability is both a blessing and a curse. The loopholes of the world bring magicians immense power, but they also cause them to constantly hear whispers from the Shadows.
These Shadows exist within the world’s loopholes and unlike Shadow Particles, these whispers pollute not the flesh but the soul of the magician.
Over time, magicians will inevitably be corrupted by the Shadows into decline, and some magicians will fall into becoming Dark Magicians, spreading the gospel of Shadows everywhere they roam.
Since their power originates from loopholes, magicians in a place like Yifate, protected by Divine Power, tend to feel somewhat constrained, only in the outside world can they unleash their full potential.
Kevin had no idea of the effort Tang Mo put into this task, but it didn’t impede his admiration for Tang Mo.
He believed that Tang Mo was surely the favorite Angel Envoy of the God of Education, descending to save people from ignorance.
Tang Mo also felt that he was about to make his mark and influence the direction of the game with his abilities.
However, as it turned out, he was thinking too much.
Kevin didn’t let Tang Mo start teaching him, but instead took him to frequent various parties, sometimes three or four times a day.
At these parties, he packaged Tang Mo as his family tutor, proclaiming that all his talents originated from the God of Education and that he knew everything.
Such exaggerated descriptions naturally provoked some displeasure, but after a few attempts, they had to admit that Tang Mo’s memory was indeed astounding.
The challenges of these people inadvertently boosted Tang Mo’s reputation even further, making him renowned and exposing him to more challenges.
In the process, he even encountered players like himself, engaging in a battle of wits, and though he won in the end, Tang Mo still felt uncomfortable.
He came to mentor Kevin, not to be exhibited in battles!
Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Tang Mo found Kevin and told him that his time was precious and couldn’t be wasted on these trivial parties.
He was there to do important things!
After learning Tang Mo’s thoughts, Kevin pondered for a moment and then asked, “Then, may I know what you want to teach me?”
“About the principles of life and the attitude towards common people, etc.”
Knowing that Tang Mo just wanted to teach these things, Kevin breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Sorry, I indeed ignored your feelings before, but I can make it up. How do you plan for me to treat the populace?”
Tang Mo immediately listed many things, including raising wages, improving housing, and ensuring healthcare and education.
All these were old platitudes, yet Kevin nodded frequently, listening earnestly and taking notes on paper.
He promised to implement them but asked Tang Mo to attend a party with him that evening where a third-tier noble would be present, an opportunity that didn’t come by often.
When leaving, he handed the paper to his butler and then pushed Tang Mo out the door.
And on the paper was only one sentence: “Ignore him.”
