Magnificent and magnificent, magnificent and mysterious, deep and vast.This is not what the archives would look like.Referring to Casca's words, Holden also thought that the archive room was a dark, cabinet-filled room, with thick paper archives piled up with countless dust, insects swirling in the corners, and many files were gnawed into a mess because of long storage, and even blurred handwriting.But the picture in front of me completely overturns the assumption, like a giant ice cream, blueberry flavor, if you can drizzle some sweet and sour jam, it is definitely a rare dessert after dinner.Hodden didn't hide his amazement, and even if he was discovered, he could say that he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, and then search for relevant information.Sure enough, Issa noticed Holden's expression for the first time, sighed "Ah", and couldn't help laughing, "You shouldn't have seen it, right?"
Wait, if you're underage, you shouldn't mention it very often in the classics, right?
You're used to the Iwabuchi Library now, right?
”"Indeed."
Hodden nodded in agreement, "Why isn't there this in the Iwabuchi Library?"
I think it's a lot more fun than a monotonous bookshelf. ”And it is also more mysterious and magnificent, more in line with the atmosphere of the Norsnes continent."
Haha, it looks like you're a psionist."
Issa said with a smile, but it was just a joke, not in depth, and then explained, "This should be one of the psionic devices that have been eliminated by the rapid development of technology." ”"It's called the Permafrost Scepter, and it must have been gradually phased out about forty years ago, and by the time I was studying, I could still see it occasionally, but there weren't many of them anymore; By the time of Pasia, it was rarely mentioned in class. ”Issa took the initiative to explain.The so-called "Permafrost Scepter" is not a staff, but is named because of its resemblance to a staff; "Permafrost" also has nothing to do with the ice element, but takes the meaning of "eternal frozen storage".Before the invention and use of quill and parchment, the Norsnes continent used psionic energy to record and disseminate for a long time, using psionic energy to seal speech and information, and then complete the transmission, and the "Frozen Scepter" existed a long time ago, similar to the existence of archives.But only psionics can use it.After the invention of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, the permafrost scepter was not eliminated, but because the parchment was too difficult to store and occupied a lot of space, it was improved and improved, and the psionics sealed the parchment through the psionic energy, and then stored it in the permafrost scepter, which also enabled the enlightened people to use the permafrost scepter to query and read.For a long time, the scepter of permafrost, large and small, was a necessary psionic instrument for every official agency and large company, until the turning point of history.On the one hand, the living environment of psionics continues to deteriorate, and high-level psionics are gradually withering, which also makes the construction of the permafrost scepter more and more difficult.In the Cretaceous period, only level 6 psionics had the ability to create or move the Permafrost Scepter; And when it comes to the New Martial Age, only high-level psionics can do it.On the other hand, the evolution of writing tools has become more and more simple, and all enlightened people, even if they are not psychic, can easily circulate books, and even can read and disseminate them through printing, and the work of storing documents, archives, and books has quietly shifted.Nearly half a century ago, the social status of the Scepter of Permafrost began to decline significantly, and by thirty years ago it had largely taken its place entirely."
The Iwabuchi Library still has a permafrost scepter, which stores and records those ancient historical archives, which is the largest permafrost scepter in the entire Norsnes continent.However, those records are very old and must be carefully preserved, so they may not be accessible to outsiders. ”Issa closes her story, but inadvertently plants a seed in Howlen's mind: Does that mean that the Permafrost Scepter in the Iwabuchi Library also stores more hidden books or forbidden files?
Hoden tilted his head up as he could, trying to explore the pinnacle of the Permafrost Scepter with his eyes, wondering what it would look like above.So, what should we do?
Does it have to be operated by a psyker as well?
”Hodden raised another question."
Yes, psionic energy must be used."
Issa nodded in affirmation, "The codes of the different Frozen Scepters are different, and the elemental permutations and combinations have their own numbers. ”And even a password?
In this way, the secrecy level of the Permafrost Scepter is far more advanced than that of the library bookcase, so is the elimination of the Permafrost Scepter an improvement or a regression?
Considering the overall decline in psionic abilities, it should be a step backwards from the perspective of secrecy; From the perspective of popularization, it should be progress."
Our password is very simple, 50 percent earth element, 50 percent dark element, first ground and then dark, that's fine."
Issa explained as she acted.Issa stood next to the Permafrost Scepter, flattened out his right palm, and stored spiritual energy in his palm, the first half of which was the earth element, and the second half of which was the dark element, forming a finger-thick cylinder, slowly pushing inward, and then you could see the surface of the permafrost scepter stirring up a circle of ripples, and soon disappeared."
Alright."
Issa said loudly, it didn't seem to take any effort, but Hodden could see that the "5:5" elemental ratio put forward super high requirements for psionic control, and it was not as simple as it seemed, and if the ratio was wrong, I am afraid it would not be able to be opened."
Ah, I remembered the time when I was a rookie again."
Issa said with a smile, "In the past, there was always a tradition of torturing rookies in the security team, but when it was my turn, it was actually relatively easy, and there was rarely any physical punishment. ”"I've just heard that a long time ago there were even sudden deaths of rookies, and that was terrible.In my case, we'll take turns to come down here and organize the files, chronologically, alphabetically, by case category, by department category, and so on. ”"Can you imagine how hard those days were?
There are tens of thousands of case files here, and every once in a while some files that cannot be solved, it is simply endless.At that time, we all thought that we would probably be buried in this pair of dust for the rest of our lives. ”Speaking of this, Isa, who was still smiling, smiled at the corner of his mouth and said to himself, "We said that we are determined to solve all the cases here and let the eighth jurisdiction not leave regrets, but ten years have passed, and there are still more and more cases here, and we have all forgotten our original promise." ”There was a lingering sigh in his words, and Issa couldn't help but feel lost.In the end, it was Horden's voice that woke Issa again, "Squadron Leader, so how should we adjust the file?"
”"Yes, yes, yes."
Issa woke up suddenly, shook his head, and seemed to shake off all those regrets, and smiled at Hoden, "Who knows, today we will be able to solve a ten-year case, maybe this is the beginning." ”()
