Laura's mood is somewhat complicated, like the constantly changing scenery outside the window. The green trees, fields, and small streams quietly turned into gray buildings and busy traffic. Her thoughts are still lingering on the fascinating story of Legio IX as she traverses this urban jungle.
The engine of the bus gradually weakened, and as it entered the terminal, it seemed to remind Laura to return to reality. She suddenly remembered that she was sitting on a soon-to-stop bus, not in that ancient world. She quickly closed the tablet in her hand, but the words about Legio IX on the screen continued to swirl in her mind.
"Final stop, please disembark," the driver's voice came through the broadcast system, interrupting Laura's reverie.
Laura picked up her backpack, took a deep breath, and stepped off the bus. Though her steps were firm, her mind was filled with unresolved questions and various assumptions. What caused the disappearance of Legio IX? Where did they go? How much of those ancient prophecies and myths are true?
She walked on the stone-paved sidewalk, each step seeming to pose these questions. The setting sun's residual light sprinkled on her golden hair, like a mysterious hint, guiding her to explore one of the greatest mysteries in the world.
The appearance of the library is like a gateway through time, with classical Roman columns and exquisite reliefs indicating its rich history and knowledge. Above the entrance, there is a line of Latin inscription that reads "knowledge is power." The library exudes an awe-inspiring atmosphere, as if reminding everyone who enters that it holds endless wisdom and unsolved mysteries.
Laura walked into the library and felt as if she had entered a whole new world, one full of possibilities and adventures. She knew that here, she had the chance to find clues to unravel the mystery of Legio IX, and perhaps even more. Laura took a deep breath and stepped forward, heading towards the mysteries and truths waiting to be discovered.
As Laura pushed open the intricately carved wooden doors of the library, a pleasant mix of wood and ink filled the air. The interior was as elegant as the exterior, but with an added sense of tranquility and the dignity of knowledge. The tall bookshelves resembled palaces of knowledge, neatly arranged and extending all the way to the ceiling. Each shelf was filled with a variety of books, from ancient manuscripts and Roman legal codes to modern historical works and documents, so rich that it was almost overwhelming.
Laura walked on the thick carpet, feeling a slight difficulty in walking, which came from the weight of books and knowledge. In a corner of the library, there is an ancient astronomical instrument and a globe, seemingly silently telling the story of human exploration of the unknown world.
The readers here come from various professions, with different purposes and pursuits. Some carefully examine ancient manuscripts, as if searching for secrets of a certain century; others gaze at computer screens, busy searching electronic databases; and some sit alone in a quiet reading corner, holding a thick book, completely immersed in their own world.
Laura found a seat by the window, where she could see the ancient trees and fountain in the courtyard. Sunlight streamed through the glass, casting a soft halo on the desk. She opened her laptop and began browsing online information about Legio IX. But she also made sure to stand up and walk to the bookshelf from time to time, flipping through a couple of ancient books. Each time she turned a page, it felt like opening a door to another world.
In this temple of knowledge, Laura felt as if she were simultaneously in the past and the future. Every book, every article could potentially hold the key to unlocking the mystery of Legio IX. She knew she was standing at a new starting point, one filled with endless possibilities.
Laura slowly walked through the long corridor of the library, scanning the labels on the bookshelves. In front of her were rows of compressed wooden ribs of knowledge, each labeled with various themes and categories: "philosophy," "literature," "science"... Each label was a door to a different world. But her purpose today was very clear, and that was "Roman history."
After passing several rows of popular science and modern literature sections, she found that the books on these shelves were relatively disorganized, with some popular books even placed randomly in areas that didn't belong to them. Obviously, this area was frequently visited and borrowed from.
However, Laura found that as she walked deeper into the library, the environment gradually became quieter. Finally, in a secluded corner of the library, she saw the label: "Roman history".
The shelves in this area looked particularly neat, with each book carefully arranged in its proper place. The fonts on the book spines also appeared more ancient, as if they had experienced countless epochs. The lighting here was relatively dim, and the dust appeared particularly noticeable in the light, indicating that few people would come here.
In contrast to the hustle and bustle of the mainstream area of the library, this corner appears more peaceful and orderly, as if it were a space forgotten by time. But for Laura, every book here is a treasure trove, filled with the history and mysteries she longs to understand. She knows that she is about to embark on a journey through time and space here, to explore the distant yet fascinating world of Rome.
Laura feels a surge of excitement; this is exactly what she was looking for. She casually flips open a seemingly ancient book on Roman history, its pages slightly yellowed at the edges. But none of this matters to her; what matters is the knowledge and stories contained within.
She sat down, took a deep breath, as if she could smell the ancient documents, and then began to read carefully. In this overlooked corner, Laura found her treasure, a mysterious passage to the ancient Roman world. The tranquility and tidiness here made her feel especially comfortable, as if she had found a secret base that belonged only to her.
