To Four Thousand Years Later

v2 Chapter 54: reading flakes

Sounds like someone very famous. **** took a deep breath and nodded clearly, "No wonder.

One but I still don't know.

Obviously, it would be too rude to say that... and he planned to ask about the "Holy Firstborn Army" again.

From the analysis of the words of the two of them, this seems to be a mysterious organization that inherits official history and hidden knowledge. It's still a fanatical fan group of Solomon... Currently being hunted down by lawmen, and even has a branch in Tire.

But Baimon didn't know their existence. This means that these people did not rely on paper to record a single word. Instead, the knowledge is passed on purely in a mouth-to-mouth manner.

In this era, it can be said that it is quite advanced to have this kind of anti-theft awareness. But rely on oral tradition. If there is no blessing of the power of the demon god. **** doubted whether orthodox history and knowledge would be deformed and distorted in the long tradition. Now he is full of interest in this organization. Just as he was thinking about these things in his mind, the ships staying at Gaza Port raised their sails one after another, and set off for Alexandria Port. Each ship has about ten sailors, and the part of the hull above the water is about two people high. The cargo under the cabin is full of ballast, and there is extra space to stuff a few people on board. Not many people can take... But there are not many people who need to travel by boat.

After all, the cost of taking a boat is not cheap at all, and most people will choose to travel on foot. It didn't take a few days to go from Gaza to Alexandria. These shipping companies do not rely on transporters to make money, but rely on transporting goods back and forth to maintain their operations.

In order to make connections, some passengers will also be sent up by people. No need to pay, just take you by the way. These people are generally arranged in seats near the stern rudder. After all, there are not many shipping companies that can receive large orders such as ironware, timber, ore, and many of the more cargo ships transported are live! , or salted fish, animal skins and the like. It's not fishy. Moreover, it is normal for ships of this era to shake constantly at sea. Staying in the cabin, Wang Zai, who basically tasted like salted fish, was frozen when he came out. There are only four of them on the deck of this ship, and the space is much more spacious. Because there was a lot of cargo, and there were only seven or eight people in the cabin, it sank almost like other ships.

Jesus carefully observed the water level, and then he immediately realized that these passengers might not be used for ballast. Didn't the Egyptians have technology like ballast water? He frowned thoughtfully, lost in thought.

Seeing that **** stopped talking, Jessalos said to Nelia: "Give me the book, Nelia. Be careful not to get the book dirty.

"Well, I know, teacher. Nelia hummed softly, picked up the clothes on her lap, and carefully handed the thin booklet on her lap to Azaros.

Azaloth wiped it carefully with a piece of cloth, then wrapped it up and put it in the pocket sewn in his arms. Before that, he took out a three-finger-wide crystal from the depth of his pocket and placed it on the side of the book. **** noticed the texture of the book.

In other words, it is difficult to overturn people's cognition of the concept of "book" whether they want to notice it or not.

"Yes, my lord." Azalos replied flatly, with a little pride and nostalgia in his tone: "This is one of the few books that my teacher hand-copied, annotated, and passed to me... written by Dodd. You may not know it in Tire, but in Rome you had to get enough parchment for a book. That was no easy task.

"Indeed. There were not many parchments sold in Rome that year." **** nodded. Agreeing: "However, parchment is indeed more convenient to preserve than papyrus, and can be preserved for a longer time. It is not a waste to record Aristotle's works. He does have an impression of that book." The Paradox appears to be part of Aristotle's Organology.

But compared with "Abdication of Paradoxes". He cared more about that crystal chip. The shape looked like a crystal ball that could just be held by hand was cut in half. This made **** a little curious.

And...or the Romans, wouldn't they have invented the convex lens?

But he doesn't know if the existence of this thing is some kind of common sense, so it's hard to ask.

Fortunately, Azaloth is more sensible. He noticed that **** tilted his head slightly and looked at the crystal ball, so he explained, "This is not the kind of crystal ball used by Westerners. I call it reading... I can't see clearly, but through the reading stone It can be seen very clearly.

You invented this? "Jesus raised his brows, and asked in a cold voice: "You mean...is it Druid's side?" Azaros nodded: "Yes, I know they have the habit of divination with crystal balls, and I have seen some. But I invented it not for divination, but for reading.

"I'm really old... I can't see things clearly now. The old man chuckled lightly. He made a not-so-hot joke: "I don't know how long it will take to follow King Solomon.

"I think that if I lift the book up, it's easy to accidentally tear the book or something; if I read the book with my head down, my back hurts, and it's easy to get dirty on the pages. So I'm looking for a way to stay away from the book , and how to read the book clearly.”

"I've seen that kind of crystal divination ball before. Looking at it from the side, the lines of the divination master's mind will be placed very much... I think this thing should be able to help me. Azalos said to **** with great interest: "Then . I ground a ball with ice the winter before last. Constantly grind the thickness to find a proper cutting angle.

It turns out that you were doing this at that time.

Nalia on the side widened her eyes: "I thought...

"What do you think? Do you really think I'm playing with ice?"

Azalos laughed, rubbing the crystal chip in his hand gently, and said proudly: "This is a tool I invented to facilitate reading for the elderly. I call it a reading stone.

...you will be remembered, Azaloth. **** gazes at him, the corners of his mouth turned up: a magnifying glass. A magnifying glass in 4 BC to be exact...

This small lens is afraid that it can change history.
