Cheese did not leave the library directly. Even if his request to consult the elf classics was blocked, his identity as a spectator was unquestionable, so he still had the right to search for the knowledge he needed in the books on the first floor.

This allowed him to return to the index area, understand the library's book classification principles based on the words of an apprentice, and at the same time roughly browse the book catalogs in some areas.

While he was reading the catalog, a batch of books had just been sorted. Some of them were pushed by apprentices on trolleys and sent to the sorted bookcases, while others were put into baskets and piled against the wall.

There are already many such baskets on the wall, and they should be filled with books.

"What's going on with those books?" Cheese looked at the basket and asked the passing apprentice. The latter obviously also participated in the little disturbance just now and respected the gray robe who could interpret the fairy language.

.

"They are useless books. The contents inside are of no value or cannot be used as reference, so they are put aside after the initial review. Afterwards, special personnel will collect them and hand them over to the inventory, which is a scholar who specializes in identifying such books.

Make a final count. Those that still have some value will be sent back for reconsideration.

Classification. Correspondingly, if problems are discovered in the books that have passed the initial screening during the review of professional scholars, they will also be classified as useless books. However, this process will be very long, and both the inventors and the scholars responsible for review will

It means taking time to work outside of your own research, and it will probably take you half a year or more to do it."

"So what if after these two screenings, the books are still considered useless? What will you do? Will you sell them?"

In this era, paper alone is precious enough. Even wealthy families generally do not treat books too carelessly. Destroying and obliterating expensive books is an incomprehensible act of madness.

If the City of Ten Thousand Laws just decides that those books are useless, selling them again is indeed a good way.

"No, we will store them in the waste warehouse. Paper is a precious resource, and scholars from the Plastic Energy Department have developed methods to reuse it. These useless books will be used as new books during the preservation process.

The materials are reused. And we don’t want to let these ridiculous words get out and harm others.”

What the apprentice said was conclusive, and there was nothing wrong with it. But this way of thinking actually had a premise.

That is, scholars in the City of Ten Thousand Laws cannot make mistakes. Many books in this era only have a small number of editions in existence. If one book is missing, there is a high possibility that it will be completely lost.

Therefore, some royal families or nobles will provide literate scholars to copy books for them to combat the harm caused by the aging or loss of books. In other words, the method of the City of Ten Thousand Laws seems to be excellent, but it is said that

After all, what kind of knowledge is considered absurd, and what kind of books can be called useless?

This should not be decided by a group, even if that group does have a high level of knowledge. As long as they don't claim to have all the knowledge, they don't have such a right.

But that's not something that cheese needs to consider now. In fact, even if books are precious, people who don't understand their value are still destroying them day and night.

Many of the fires after the riots were fueled by the lord's collection of books. Angry and hungry people would not consider the value of these incomprehensible books. Therefore, the loss of knowledge occurs almost every moment.

In comparison, City of Ten Thousand Laws' approach has been described as delicate.

After quickly checking some bibliographic categories that might be helpful, Cheese left the index area and returned to his companions. In order not to irritate Kailas and Atta, he did not tell them everything that had just happened.

.

It just said that there are reading restrictions here, and they must find relevant personnel to obtain permission before they can directly read the fairy classics. Before that, they had better take a look at what helpful books are here.

As a result, the team quickly dissipated in the sea of ​​books. It was impossible to work as a team when consulting the books, because apart from cheese, not even the cat goblins could be of much help.

So instead of letting them waste time following you, it is better for them to take advantage of the precious opportunity to find books of interest in the library. As for the gray robe himself, he was not worried at all when facing the suffocating mountain of books, but was only excited.

, he has not been so happy for a long time.

"In the afternoon, we will come back to gather and decide what to do in the afternoon. Before that, you can freely read the books you are interested in. Uni, come with me."

Cheese led his apprentice quickly past the bookshelves. Uni hasn't started to read yet, so he can't stand on his own for most of the books here.

But it doesn't matter, Cheese has already thought about what he wants the apprentice to read. They came to some bookshelves made of pine wood. The books here are generally very thick and have large pages.

The gray robe pointed his finger at the spine of the book and searched for it. He pulled out a particularly thick book and put it on the reading table aside.

"This is an illustrated book of animals, including the appearance of birds and animals and their anatomy. I know you can't read the text yet. It doesn't matter, you just need to look at these pictures to understand the appearance and structure of these animals.

As for their names, habits, and functions of their organs, I will explain them to you later. This is your homework, can you accept it?"

In fact, there was no need for Cheese to ask. Uni was already attracted by the pictures of birds on a page that the teacher casually opened. The author of this book obviously has excellent painting skills and can depict the appearance of animals lifelike.

What is valuable is that the purpose of the author's painting is not only aesthetic. Next to the full-body picture of the bird, there are also detailed drawings of its feathers, wing structure, and claws. The content may be even more detailed than seeing this bird in person.

Cheese was very satisfied with the apprentice's reaction, nodded and left quietly. But after he walked away, a few more visitors came here. They looked like they were apprentices from the City of Ten Thousand Laws. They were very young and might be the same as Uni.

Pretty much the same.

These students finally finished the morning class and planned to finish their homework here. They accidentally saw Uni, who was looking down at the animal drawings carefully.

tomato novel

In particular, Yuni's way of viewing was very different from others. While he was looking, he clumsily compared the toes of the animals in the painting with his fingers, as if he was imagining that he had become that kind of animal.

Such behavior may seem naive to adults, but to them, it is just stupidity.

"A savage dressed in animal skins."

This is what one of the apprentices said to his companions. The bear skin coat on Uni's body does look like unprocessed animal fur, and the dwarf's knot decoration is indeed rough.

"Savages should not be in the library."

Children's nature is always extreme and somewhat self-righteous. That's because they can't imagine a world full of unknowns, so they fill the world with their own understanding.

This way of thinking makes it easy for them to define something and not change this definition easily.

"He has a white brooch and is a guest. Let's not disturb him."

The girl with sharp eyes spotted the off-white brooch on Uni's collar. She remembered what the teacher had said about the meaning of these brooches and said immediately.

"What's so great about a gray brooch? It's not red. And look, he's looking through Lorenz's Animal Guide! It's the best illustrated book. What if he breaks it?"

So the girl fell silent. For these apprentices, the illustrated animal book was one of the few entertainment books they had before they learned to read novels and poems. No one could accept the risk of it getting damaged.
