Spirit summons? I want to do it myself!

Lido did not rush to pick up a book and sit down to read. Instead, she took Fumei to walk through the entire bookshelf area, roughly browsed the titles of the books, and then chose the books she wanted to read based on the titles.

After a round, Liduo had a rough idea of ​​what was going on. There weren't many types of books, and she had seen many of them in the book section of the Magic Mall.

And only about half of the books involve serious knowledge, which include literary and artistic works such as poetry, songs and the most basic literacy textbooks.

There are about a thousand books in total, and the same book is counted only as one.

The remaining books are all various vernacular novels, travel notes, legendary stories and other works for entertainment.

Alas! This really tarnishes the reputation of the library!

In the end, Liduo chose three history books at once: "A General History of the Continent", "A Chronicle of Magic", and "A History of the Bac Ninh Empire". Fumei chose a book on sculpture.

Lido will not interfere with what book Fumei chooses, as long as Fumei likes it and wants to learn it.

The three books that Lido chose are all big volumes, but Lido is very confident in her reading speed.

In her previous life, Li Duo had read novels with at least 1 billion words in total, so her reading speed had improved a long time ago. Now that Li Duo's mental strength was so strong, she was being modest when she could read ten lines at a glance!

Besides, although these books are large volumes, the total number of words definitely does not exceed one million.

These books are arranged from left to right and from top to bottom, which is in line with Lido's reading habits.

Moreover, the font of the book is not as small as in the modern times of the previous life. Basically, Lido only needs to glance at a page once or twice to turn the page.

With Li Duo's current memory, she didn't need to copy and paste, so it would be very fast. So four hours was more than enough for Li Duo!

After everything was ready, Li Duo and Fu Mei began to concentrate on reading. Li Duo started with the oldest book, "A General History of the Continent".

The time spent reading passed quickly, and four hours flew by in a flash. Li Duo had just closed the last book and stretched herself when the hourglass on the table made a soft "ding dong" sound. She saw that the sand had run out, and the time was up!

Fumei only read about half of the book, but she didn't say anything. She just closed the book and said she would read it next time.

After she and Fumei walked out of the library, they went to the cafeteria for a big meal, then went to the playground to absorb some magical elements. Finally, she returned to the dormitory and was busy putting Fumei into the magic circle and tucking herself into the bed. Only then did Liduo have time to think carefully about what she had read in the book today.

The history of the magic continent can be clearly divided into two stages, before the magic era and after the magic era.

Moreover, the history before the Magic Age is only described in a very small amount of space in the book. Although the history is nearly 2,000 years long, there are only a few words about each era involved, and there are even many blank periods in between.

But even from these unsystematic historical fragments, Lido can roughly infer that the historical process before the magic era of the magic continent is actually equivalent to a combination of Eastern and Western history during the Tang Dynasty on the blue planet in the previous life.

Historical descriptions are often linked to geography. This is because before the Magic Era, there was only one complete continent on the Magic Continent, which was later called the Central Continent, and the rest of the land was scattered islands.

At that time, there were no monsters on the magical continent! No magic beasts! No magic! No elves! And no purple moon shining in the sky today!

That is a completely normal human civilization process similar to that of the human civilization on Blue Star! The biosphere is also completely normal! And due to the special geographical location, it may eventually form a unified political situation for the whole world.

Not to mention the political aspect, just from the perspective of civilization, if things are allowed to develop naturally, then the Magic Continent is very likely to develop into a technological civilization similar to that of Blue Star!

Unfortunately, there is no if! The civilization process of the Magic Continent suddenly suffered a devastating blow! It was a meteorite shower that affected the entire Central Continent!

Perhaps the painful memories that the meteor shower left on the people of the magical continent were too profound, and all three history books described it in great detail.

Even in the "History of the Bac Ninh Empire", which does not match the date, this meteorite shower is always mentioned in various historical events.

After all, the Bac Ninh Empire was established after that meteor shower. By the way, the Bac Ninh Empire is the name of the country where Li Duo is located.

According to records, the meteorite shower occurred on an evening more than 3,000 years ago, when weary birds were returning to their nests and smoke was rising from thousands of households.

The meteorite shower came extremely quickly, and the signs it left for people were extremely brief, not to mention that people at that time did not know what these signs meant.

The sky, which had originally been darkening after the sun had already set, suddenly became as bright as day, and was filled with red clouds.

Before long, huge burning fireballs with huge kinetic energy landed in various places on the central continent.

The entire continent suddenly shook, rivers, lakes and seas surged, and people suffered a devastating disaster when they should have been living in peace and tranquility!

The meteor shower lasted for three days and three nights! At this time, the continent was already full of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, wildfires, mudslides and other disasters!

To make matters worse, the last few extremely large meteorites hit the center of the Central Continent one after another! The entire continent was cracked apart! It was smashed into four pieces of land!

The center of the continent at that time was the most prosperous area in the entire central continent, and it was also the location of the most powerful country at that time!

Under the devastating blow of the meteorite shower, the entire country was destroyed in an instant, leaving no trace of its existence!

After the central continent was cracked, it triggered a huge tsunami. Seawater poured in and flooded the huge crater created by the meteorite. The entire country was buried deep under the sea.

The four pieces of land were separated by sea water. After hundreds of years of slow drift, they gradually formed the current geographical pattern of the four continents in the east, south, west and north.

In the vast ocean between the four continents, there are still many large and small islands formed by continental fragments that broke off from the central continent in the past, as well as some islands that survived.

The only thing is that the place where the Central Empire existed in the past is now a calm sea with a stagnant surface like a pool of water but undercurrents surging beneath the surface. It is called the Central Sea.

From a geographical point of view, the Central Sea is surrounded by four continents and many islands, so it is not an exaggeration to call it an inland sea.

After the meteor shower, less than one-third of the humans on the magic continent survived. In the ten years after the meteor shower, various disasters occurred frequently on the four continents, and people struggled to survive under the disasters.

When the long disaster finally passed, humans began an even longer process of post-disaster reconstruction. When people gathered together, they found that only one-tenth or one-twelfth of the population survived!

In other words, the meteorite shower killed two-thirds of the continent's population, and various disasters killed half of the remaining population!

In addition to the loss of population and financial losses, the more important ones are the losses in history, culture and technology! Too many people died, and too many things disappeared in the long river of history!

It can be said that this meteor shower interrupted the progress of the entire civilization of the Magic Continent with its own strength! It brought great pain to the world!

What Lido saw in the history books were just cold words, but those words were filled with the blood and tears of the people on the magical continent back then!

However, the disaster did not end there!

The remaining humans finally built cities with great difficulty relying on word-of-mouth knowledge and a small amount of written texts, but a large-scale famine broke out!

Because the wildfires caused by the meteorite shower burned many forests and turned them into scorched earth, humans could not take care of many things in the disaster. After all, only a few people planted and collected crop seeds.

When humans were scattered across the vast world, they could still find wild animals and plants to barely fill their stomachs. Now that people have gathered together, resources have suddenly become extremely scarce!

In order to compete for the few resources, cities on the four continents began to attack each other, and the war continued until a new crisis appeared on the continent! The crisis of human extinction!
