() "How much magic energy did this guy steal from us?" Pires felt heartbroken, "I'll go too!"
"If you can't do it, you will attract ghouls." Robinson refused, "And that cunning puppet may appear at any time. Do you want me to be killed?"
"If I had known, I would have killed him!" Pires regretted greatly, "I wonder if he had spread the news about the dungeon?"
"Don't be kidding. He is just a bastard. He will probably have a hard time surviving." Tony tossed the dagger in his hand with a disdainful expression, "Don't worry, I guarantee he won't survive today. But don't be lazy and get it quickly.
Mage Tower."
"Robinson is more anxious than you!" Pires knew Tony's selfishness. He just wanted to take advantage of the time he left to take a rest and avoid the dirty work.
"We agreed to keep one of the constructed golems in the alchemy workshop for me!" Tony looked at Robinson, and after seeing those iron guys through the narrow ventilation window, he coveted them.
After the constructed golem is activated, it becomes the most obedient and practical bodyguard.
"No problem, you go kill that person quickly, and then lure some ghouls to the hotel so that even if he collects enough magic stones, he won't be able to enter and activate the portal!"
Robinson gave the instructions casually, not bothering with a stray fish. He had been thinking intently, trying to find a way to break the magic lock on the iron door of the alchemy workshop.
Violent dismantling is not possible, otherwise the alarm circle above will be activated and cannot be deactivated within the time limit, and the entire alchemy workshop will be destroyed by the magic mechanism.
As a magician of the magic system, this mage tower has been the biggest improvement for Robinson. Although the few parchments he found before were all casually recorded experiences, they have benefited him a lot, so he can't wait.
If you want to enter the upper bedroom and study, get the tower owner's magic note.
"Well, I'm leaving!" Tony went downstairs. He learned stealth and assassination, so he could approach the target directly without alerting the undead monsters on the street to the maximum extent.
Downton, who didn't know he was being targeted by an assassin, left the neighborhood, which had been destroyed in half, after recovering some strength.
All the ghouls nearby had been cleared. If anyone came, they would immediately see the problem and search for themselves without any danger, so Downton moved to Dongcheng District, which he had never been to before.
Downton lowered his body and moved carefully on the continuous rooftops, avoiding the ghouls wandering on the streets.
Celes, who took the first step with the grimoire in her arms, floated up from a yard sixty meters away, raised the luminous stone, and drew two semicircles.
Downton rushed over immediately.
"There are only two ghouls, and the place is big enough. It seems that the owner of the courtyard is in front of a small nobleman." Homer projected text and opened up the war space.
The four demon servants passed through the bronze gate and appeared in the courtyard.
The two ghouls suddenly saw them and stared at them, but because they were the same kind, they did not attack and looked away.
When Downton pulled out the ogre saber and jumped off the roof, the demon servants had already pounced on them fiercely. Wearing heavy infantry armor, they were like chariots, overturning the enemy without any suspense.
They were so pressed that they couldn't get up.
Downton raised the knife and dropped it, killing two fish, and then walked to the bedroom.
Celes had already checked the house, and Downton was too lazy to waste time, but was stopped by Homer.
"Go to the study, it's convenient for me to hide there." An elemental arrow stretched out from the grimoire to indicate the direction.
Pushing open the rotten wooden door, what came into view was a tall bookshelf filled with hundreds of books with cowhide covers.
Downton walked in, stepping on the wooden floor and making a creaking sound.
The white oak desk was covered with dust. Apart from some yellowed parchment, there was a tea-colored coffee cup with a spoon and solidified lumps inside.
"They are all works written three thousand years ago!" For Downton, who likes reading, this bookshelf interested him very much. He ran his fingers across the spines of the books, wiped off the dust on them, and revealed the words.
Downton randomly picked up a copy of "Selected Poems of Vogts", leaned against the bookshelf, and began to flip through it.
"Hey, hey, I don't have time for you to enjoy your reading time now. There is also the Guardian Gate God of the Great Library waiting for you to challenge!" Homer blocked the poetry selection of Magic Flame Style.
"I'm injured, and my soul shield hasn't been repaired. If I go now, aren't I looking for death?" Downton was puzzled.
After the soul shield is destroyed, it will be repaired naturally, but it will take at least three hours, not to mention that Downton is not in the best condition right now.
"You can't die. The big library is a place for learning, not a life-and-death arena. I won't kill you."
A beam of light was emitted from the grimoire, and then unfolded, forming a light door full of Gothic style.
"Can I go in?" Celeste begged with her cheeks clasped together, looking at Homer pitifully. After waiting for the affirmative answer, she immediately cheered and rushed in.
Downton stepped in and found that he was standing in a hall made entirely of heavenly star stones that were more expensive than the same weight of gold. It was all white and had a holy atmosphere.
"How to get there?" Celes was confused and asked the grimoire.
A series of stone stairs extend, and at the end of them, there are tall and magnificent library doors, countless!
These gates are carved with various reliefs, full of wisdom and sacred atmosphere.
Downton looked around and seemed to hear a melodious recitation.
"Don't look at it. With your level, you can only enter the one in front of you!" Homer floated up, "Hurry up, don't waste time!"
Celes did not levitate, but walked forward on the steps. In this place, she felt too small and became cautious.
There were two hundred and sixty-seven steps, and Downton noticed that each step had a famous quote engraved on it.
"So beautiful!"
Facing this door of wisdom, Celes exclaimed, interrupting Downton's silent reading.
Two large, thick stone piers with a length of 88 meters are carved with beautiful and beautiful floral reliefs, but the most eye-catching one is the one sitting on the grass, holding a huge book as if hungry.
Statue of Young Man Reading.
Because there are twelve big characters full of truth in that book!
"Books carry wisdom, and wisdom gives birth to civilization!"
Under the urging of the grimoire, Downton stepped into this door of wisdom.
It is still a hall so large that it seems to have no boundaries, but this time it is a little different.
With a white trace as the boundary, the right side of it is the reading area, with large desks and chairs. The sunlight pours through the glass windows, filling it with a warm atmosphere.
On the left is the borrowing area. Huge bookshelves 30 meters high are spread throughout the library, one is brown and the other is filled with books.
"Wow, it's incredible. How many books are needed to fill so many bookshelves?" Celes exclaimed and looked at the table in front of the borrowing area. There was a sign saying librarian on it, but
There is no one.
"Twelve.63 million copies!"
The grimoire read the numbers and floated to the lending desk.
"Even an ancient elf with a long life can't read so many books in a lifetime, right?" Celes followed.
"Knowledge is infinite!" Homer projected his expression and rolled his eyes.
In the entire Western Continent for tens of thousands of years, there have been no more than five borrowers who have qualified and have read more than two-thirds of the books here.
"How can I borrow the books here?" Downton's eyes sparkled, as if a traveler who had been thirsty for a hundred years in the desert suddenly encountered an oasis and couldn't wait to read.
"You just need to pass the assessment and get the library card." The magic book looked at Celes, "You also need to apply for it and be prepared."
"Ah!" Celes was startled, but she laughed the next second, "Great!
"Don't be in a hurry to be happy. "Introduction to Necromancer Arcana", "Hundred Variations and Derivations of Elemental Laws", "Basic Application of Magic Energy", these are your next courses. After that, you will also learn "Three Major Magic Powers".
"Energy Law", "Research on Element Theory", in a word, in the future of your life, you have to say goodbye to words like play and games."
The magic book only lists a few. If Celes wants to become a famous magician in the Western Continent, she must read a huge number of books.
Celes looked at Downton pitifully, hoping that he would intercede for her. The Death Banshee was just a fifteen-year-old girl who was still at a carefree age and hated studying the most.
"Homer, don't teach Celes to be a nerd. Lighten up her workload!" Although he knew that the more powerful Celes was, the more she could help him, but Downton didn't want her to lose her happiness. Her entire girlhood was spent in books.
Fill up.
"Do you still have time to care about others? If you want to become a great potion master, your efforts must not be any less than hers." The magic book reprimanded, "If you are afraid, get out now. Don't tarnish the great library. You can leave.
Everyone who comes here comes with a pious heart and a hungry thirst for knowledge."
"I'm talking about Celes!" Downton was not afraid. Reading was a pleasure to him, not abuse.
"You have no idea how lucky you are. If those magic scholars know about this place, they will cry and shout, willing to pay any price just to read it, but they are not qualified and don't even have a chance to take a look.
Why don’t you cherish it?”
Grimoire hates iron but cannot turn it into steel.
Downton accepted the lesson humbly and quickly changed the subject, "Who collected these books?"
"You have no right to know." Homer refused to answer, "But if you find books and knowledge that are not in the big library, you can get rich gifts!"
"Gift?" Downton was puzzled.
"You don't think you can read all the books here, do you?" Homer joked, "You have to work hard to get the borrowing qualifications. With your level, it would be good if you can get the minimum permission."
