Chapter 554: This meat can be considered a snack!
"Okay, okay, come on, I'll take you to see the big library!" In order to avoid Li Ming, Thales has completely lost all his dignity.
But Bianca just crossed her arms and said calmly, "What if they catch up with us? After all, that piece of Leviathan meat is going to be sent to the Great Library!"
"Uh..." Thales's whole body froze, "No, that can't be!"
"Bianca just spread her hands, "Who knows!"
Bianca's words made the three of them freeze in place. Finally, Thales looked at the guy who was carrying Leviathan's meat around and kicked a thief following him away with a casual kick.
After swallowing, Thales said firmly, "In that case, I will just go and collect my labor payment!"
Thales glanced at the piece of Leviathan meat on Li Ming's back, while Bianca said casually, "Now that we have decided, let's go. I work diagonally opposite the City Hall!"
After the two followed Thales and walked a distance diagonally opposite, Bianca saw a building composed of Greek-style and Shenzhou-style buildings spanning the entire street.
When the three of them stood in front of the library, Thales patted the tour guide robot beside him and said, "Okay, it's your turn to work!"
"The Great Library was once a private museum of the tyrant, and it can be traced back to the city temple in the barbaric period. In the second year of the Republican calendar, it was converted into a great library for the study of science, technology and culture. The citizens of Alexandria attach great importance to the status of scientific innovation in the overall social development. They give the Great Library the same social status as the Referendum and the City Management Association. After the popularization of robot civil servants, the Great Library merged the functions of the Tribunal and became an extremely important part of the city's power structure."
Bianca was very surprised by the tour guide robot's words. Apart from anything else, she didn't expect the status of the Great Library to be so high. So in fact, in a way, Thales was also one of the people in power in this city.
"The style of the library is a combination of Greek and Shenzhou styles. Although two completely different art schools are used inside and outside the same building, it is amazing that the two are connected very naturally. It is an extremely rare and excellent example of architectural renovation." The tour guide robot pointed at the hollow flower carvings on the white Greek-style columns. "The library is open to people with local citizenship for free. Outsiders need to be guaranteed by local citizens or pay a deposit in advance before they can enter."
"You guys..." Thales was about to speak, but then he dodged to the side like a cat with its fur standing on end, and his words were soon interrupted.
"So what is the difference between people with this city's citizenship and this city's citizens?"
Before Bianca could react, a figure intervened, making his strong presence known.
"People with citizenship in this city include slaves who do not have citizenship rights. The people of this city only recognize "citizens" who have citizenship rights."
Before Thales could speak, the tour guide robot answered the question. Li Ming nodded secretly, "Is that so? That's really a narrow range of citizens. By the way, can the deposit paid in advance be mortgaged with this? After all, this thing was originally intended to be given to the director of your library."
But this time the tour guide robot was silent. Obviously, this question was beyond the scope of the tour guide robot. Bianca pulled the corner of her mouth and looked at Taylor who was still in shock. Her originally smooth blonde hair was now very messy, as if it had not been taken care of for a long time.
She wanted to say something, but Li Ming approached Thales first, "Miss Director, I have prepared your Leviathan meat. I wanted to sell it and pay you two drachmas directly. It seems that Leviathan meat is really unpopular here."
"Ha, ha, ha, that's too much trouble for Mr. Li Ming!" Thales grinned and forced a smile.
"Don't bother, don't bother. It's my honor to help Miss Taylors."
It was obvious that the skill of beating the snake with the stick was very skilled. Even Thales was speechless and could only smile bitterly. "It's okay, then Mr. Li Ming, you can come in with us!"
"Ouke Ouke, I feel relieved with Miss Taylor as my guarantor!"
Li Ming was not unfamiliar at all and joined their team calmly. Jimmy smiled bitterly and followed. After Thales operated the tour guide robot for a while, he led all three people in.
The two floors built on the ground were filled with books, and there were many people walking inside. Although there were many people, it looked very quiet and there was no impact. Many people's eyes lit up when they saw Thales, but they did not approach him directly, but continued to read their books.
"Wow, this place must be at least ten stories deep. I didn't expect that although it looks more like the medieval style, the architectural style inside is more similar to the pavilions in Shenzhou."
"The upper part is mostly private collections of former tyrants, while the lower part is a new library built in recent years. In fact, the big library only served the purpose of showing off one's taste at that time!" Taylor, who was a little timid at first, was not so panicked at all, and was very calm in response to Li Ming's questions.
"But even so, those tyrants have saved a lot of things!" Li Ming carried the meat of Leviathan and took a look at the books on the wall. Many of the books looked very old and it was obvious that they were books that had been carefully preserved.
"Indeed, there are books like The Constitution of the Greek States and The Complete Comedies of Aristophanes. Of course, if you want the novel version of The Adventures of Hom, that's also available here."
When talking about books, Thales' eyes lit up, and Bianca was a little surprised, "The Adventures of Homo, but why is it a novel version?"
"Because the books here come from all over the world, even books that sound familiar to you may be different. But if there is anything that is different from what you know, you must mark it out, and you may get a bonus!"
"Well... we do have writers on our ship who claim to be Shakespeare and Cervantes. We can ask them to come over and try someday." Li Ming smiled, and then he put the meat of Leviathan down from his back. "Then I will deliver the meat of Leviathan to the destination now. It will be up to you to decide how to deal with it, Director Thales."
"Haha, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Li Ming. This is your reward!"
Thales gritted his teeth and took out ten drachmas and stuffed them into Li Ming's hand.
"You are too polite, Director Thales."
Then you should let go!
Although he said so, Li Ming had no intention of letting go. Thales could only give up the ten drachmas, and then secretly thought in his heart, "What's the point of researching this? I'll just treat this meat as a snack and stew it!"
