Chapter 436: Chat

"Ah Sneeze! What bastard scolded me?"

On the ghost island, Barrett sneezed heavily, rubbed his nose, and complained that he felt like he was bored to death recently. He had to compete with others once a month. This was to ensure that the ghosts The normal operation of the island's high-level combat forces. After all, these high-level combat forces do not just sit around on the island doing nothing all day long.

Merchant ship escorts everywhere, business negotiations in various territories, clearing out certain noble forces who want to resurrect, or stationing in border waters, etc. are all responsible for these high-level combat forces within the twelve hours, not every day. Everyone has time to stay on Ghost Island every day, and they can only come back when they have time.

And Barrett is not the type who likes to be a teacher like Kaido. Coupled with his special situation, it is not convenient for him to show his face for the time being. Otherwise, it would not be good if the World Government knew that Barrett had joined the Beasts. , which resulted in Barrett having to stay in Onigashima and Wano Country recently, and now he was bored and started to run to the library to read.

What an incredible thing it is for Barrett to read a book, but Quinn said that if Barrett wants to truly and thoroughly develop the power of the Fusion Fruit, it is absolutely impossible to read so much and learn more mechanical knowledge. It was a necessary option, so Barrett endured the pain and ran to the library, found a lot of mechanical books and started reading. However, this boring process did make him a little drowsy.

"How did that kid Robin read these boring words?"

Barrett couldn't help scratching his head. Some of his mechanical principles were accompanied by pictures, and many of the archaeological tomes Robin read were full of text. He would feel dizzy even after reading them, but Robin could After reading the entire book at an extremely fast speed and memorizing it completely, Barrett felt for the first time the power of geniuses over ordinary people. This feeling was even greater than that of geniuses in combat against ordinary people. The crushing of people is more intense.

"Barrett? Why are you here?"

At this time, a voice sounded from behind Barrett, and the voice was full of disbelief and surprise.

"Olbia? Are you on duty today?"

Barrett knew who it was without looking back, but he remembered that when he came in the morning, the person on duty in the library should be someone from the literature department, right? Why is Olbia here?

That's right, since the battle for the library ended in a draw, the "ownership" of the library has become jointly owned by the Department of Literature and the Department of History. Each side manages it one day, and one person manages the library. When visiting the library, people from the other party almost never show up in the library. This has become a fixed routine.

"No, I just came here to find books for comparison, but I didn't expect you to be here. Haven't you always disliked reading?"

Olbia held a stack of books, walked to the chair opposite Barrett and sat down, put down the pile of tomes he had been holding, rubbed his sore wrists and said.

"I don't like reading, but I like to increase my strength. These books can help me enhance my fruit development, so come and take a look. It's you. Did you figure out the text translation book of the historical text that Lily gave you? I can do it. I guarantee that that thing is indeed useful. After all, a certain bastard in the Roger Pirates was born in this country. He did understand these words, and he also said when he was drunk that this was passed down from generation to generation in their general family. That stuff, so if you really want to figure out what those historical texts are about, it’s really useful to study that stuff.”

Barrett put down the book in his hand and threw it on the table. After stretching, he said to Olbia that he was no longer so hostile to Olbia. After all, she was Robin's mother. , and during this period of time, Barrett can be sure that Olbia is indeed learning how to be a good mother.

"We understand that in fact we have almost studied the comparison table. Although the things recorded on it are not particularly detailed, many places have been deliberately omitted, obviously to prevent outsiders from learning from them, but that can only deceive outsiders. For us, this is not something that cannot be cracked, but we are archaeologists, and we cannot simply figure out how to translate it. That is the translator, not the archaeologist. We now want to understand why The Wano Country maintains such a detailed historical text comparison table. What was the Wano Country in the past and why such a strange social system was formed? These are all things we want to know. However, it is a pity that the historical documents of the Wano Country There are really too few, and we can only find answers from these myths.”

Olbia picked up a tome and showed it to Barrett. This book was one of the various myths and novels of Wano.

"Mythical stories? Can you find the correct history from these? Why do they sound so unreliable? Are you sure you are studying history?"

This is the first time that Barrett has heard of such a thing. For him, those fairy tales are at best a pastime after meals. After all, the things recorded in them are often full of unrealistic fantasies and all kinds of exaggerations. Barrett I remember hearing the legend of the Five-Colored Tiantan on an island. Anyway, there are different opinions on the island about the effects of this colorful Tiantan. Some say it can cure all injuries, some say it can make people immortal, and even Some people say that this thing can bring people back to life. Finally, after Barrett went through all the troubles to climb the towering mountain and saw the so-called colorful Tiantan, Barrett decided not to believe in any myths anymore. .

The so-called Colorful Tiantan is a small puddle. The reason why the water in it is five colors is because there are natural jade stones of various colors under the pool. These jade stones reflect the sunlight, which forms this so-called puddle. In the Colorful Tiantan, Barrett also took out the jade stones, and then found that those stones were all jade stones of extremely poor quality and were not worthy of being used on the table. Barrett threw them back angrily.

"Myths sometimes contain a lot of history, because many things that people didn't understand in the past would be adapted with their own ideas, and then passed down through word of mouth, etc., into the myths we see now. "Although it is difficult to decipher this story and turn it into the original reality, this difficulty is exactly the interesting part of archeology and history, isn't it?"

Olbia smiled and told Barrett their views on these mythical stories. Even now, Olbia is always grateful to Barrett. After all, she and Robin, and the entire The lives of all the historians on O'Hara were saved by Barrett. Otherwise, even if the navy released the water, they would not be able to leave at all. At most, a few people would escape by chance.

"Okay, I don't understand how these intellectuals work. Let me understand this book first and then talk about it."

Barrett was confused after hearing this. He really didn't want to continue chatting with these smart people, otherwise he would feel that he was too stupid. He waved his hand, picked up the mechanics book in front of him again and started to chew on it. , and this also attracted Olbia’s attention.

"0 basic learning of mechanical principles? Why do you see this? Have you ever learned this before?"

Olbia asked curiously.

"No, but that guy Quinn told me that I should learn more about mechanics and the like, otherwise my combined fruit would be wasted. I can obviously use the fruit to easily create many powerful weapons, but I was stranded because I didn't understand. That’s why I came to see this thing.”

Barrett didn't hide it, because he was about to collapse after chewing this damn book. It clearly said "0 basics" on the book, why was it so difficult to understand!

"Then you shouldn't read this book. I've read it. Although it says 0 basics, it's not really zero basics. You need to learn mathematics and physics first before you can read this book. Otherwise, you won't understand it at all. Those formulas above!”

Olbia's words directly explained to Barrett why he couldn't read this book. It turns out that "zero basics" does not mean that everyone can read it, but refers to "zero basics of pure mechanics"!

"Then what have I been watching for so many days!"

Barrett angrily threw the book on the table. The loud noise aroused the dissatisfaction of the administrator on the other side. However, because there were no outsiders in the library, they did not come to trouble Barrett, and Barrett At this time, Te began to be incompetent and furious.
