Chapter 263: The Library in the Tree of All-Knowing

After a while, the two of them walked under the tree of omniscience.

The tall tree trunks reach straight into the sky, and the leaves rustle in the wind, as if telling ancient secrets.

Robin stopped, took a deep breath, and then said to Jin An:

"I'll go in and ask the scholars. Please wait here for me."

Jin An nodded and said with a smile:

"Okay, I'll wait for you here."

Robin turned and ran into the entrance of the Tree of All-Knowing, his heart full of doubts and expectations.

She walked quickly through the long corridor and came to a spacious study.

Several scholars were concentrating on their studies there. When they saw Robin running in, they all looked up and smiled kindly.

"Robin, what's going on?"

A white-haired scholar asked.

"Grandpas, I want to ask, does our research involve anything dangerous?"

Robin asked eagerly.

The scholars looked at each other, their faces somewhat solemn.

A scholar put down the scroll in his hand, sighed and said:

"Robin, there are some things you are still young and may not understand."

"But you have to remember that the truth we pursue is for the future of this world."

Another scholar nodded and said:

"Yes, the truth is often heavy, but we can't back down from it."

Robin became even more confused as he listened to the scholars' words.

She wanted to continue asking questions, but the scholars' expressions made her understand that there were some things they were unwilling to talk about.

"Thank you grandpas, I got it."

Robin whispered.

Thinking of Jin An who was still waiting outside the library, she continued to ask,

"There's a man from outside the island outside the library who wants to visit here. Do you grandfathers agree?"

The scholars nodded.

"Of course, we welcome everyone who comes here to learn and discuss."

Robin nodded, then turned and ran back out of the tree.

Seeing Robin walking away, the scholars gathered together.

"The thing Robin just asked about was probably told to her by the man from outside the island. It seems that our research has been known to people outside."

"If you know, then you know. We have never concealed our research from others."

"But our research involves the origin of the world government..."

"As long as the World Government's ass is clean, why would they be afraid of our research?"

"..."

Outside the Tree of Omniscience.

Jin An saw Robin running out, squatted down, and asked gently:

"How is it? Can I go in and have a look?"

Robin nodded, with anxiety flickering in his eyes.

“You can visit as you like.”

"Just...was what you just said true?"

Jinan looked at Robin and asked,

"Have you sought confirmation from scholars?"

"Do you think what I'm saying is likely to happen?"

Robin hesitated, shook his head and nodded.

"They didn't say much, but I felt like some of the things they were doing were really dangerous, and I was a little scared..."

Jin An patted her shoulder gently and said softly:

"Relax, Robin..."

"Some things are destined, but some things can be changed."

Robin raised her head and looked into Jinan's eyes. The determination in those eyes made her feel a little more at ease.

Although the road ahead is unknown, she doesn't seem so scared with this strange uncle by her side.

Jinan walked into the Tree of Omniscience and stepped into the world's largest library.

He couldn't help but be shocked by the scene before him.

The bookshelves here stand like trees in this huge space, seemingly endless, and the richness of the collection is dazzling.

The wide variety of materials and documents exude a historical atmosphere, as if every book is telling an ancient story.

He looked around, thinking to himself.

As he had said before, he did intend to preserve these precious materials to prevent them from being reduced to ashes in the upcoming artillery fire.

Of course, he also has the ability to save the scholars here.

But everything has its pros and cons, and he could not be sure of the character of these scholars.

If he saved a group of ungrateful people, he might be stabbed to death in the back.

"It needs to be investigated..." he said silently in his heart.

Jinan continued to walk forward, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings.

He noticed that several scholars were concentrating on studying the books in their hands, and occasionally discussing in low voices.

There was a desire and awe for knowledge flashing in their eyes, and this expression made Jin An let down his guard a little.

He walked to a bookshelf, pulled out a book at random, flipped through a few pages, and felt the profound knowledge contained in the book.

Because he couldn't understand the words in the book at all...

However, these books are undoubtedly treasures of the world and deserve to be preserved.

Just then, a white-haired old scholar noticed Jin'an's presence.

He came over, smiled kindly and said:

"Young man, is this your first time in O'Hara? You look very interested in this place."

Jin An closed the book and responded with a smile:

"Yes, sir. There are so many valuable materials that it's hard to take it all in."

The old scholar nodded, his eyes full of pride and emotion:

“O’Hara scholars are committed to the study of history, and we believe that only by understanding the past can we better face the future.”

A complex emotion flashed across Jin An's eyes. He was silent for a moment, then asked:

"Sir, have you ever thought that too much knowledge can be dangerous?"

The old scholar was slightly stunned, then smiled:

“Knowledge itself is neutral; it’s the people who use it that matter.”

“We only hope that through our research we can bring peace and understanding to the world.”

Jin An nodded, and his respect for these scholars increased a little.

He decided to continue observing the behavior and words of these scholars over the next few days to further confirm their character.

"I see. Thank you for your answer."

Jinan said politely.

The old scholar nodded and turned back to his work.

"..."

Jinan continued to wander around the library, secretly observing the actions of every scholar.

Everyone in the library was enveloped by his observation Haki, and their every move could not escape Jinan's perception.

He found that these scholars were indeed as the old scholar had said, full of love for knowledge and pursuit of truth.

However, in this complex world, there is often a big gap between appearance and inner heart.

A man is innocent but he is guilty of possessing a treasure......

As night fell, the library gradually became quiet.

Jinan stood under the Tree of All-Knowing, looking up at this natural creation that symbolizes wisdom and knowledge.

"What a magnificent tree..."
