Chapter 998: The Magic Library (I)
Before leaving, she said goodbye to Farch, and the girl still wanted to continue to listen to Ann's fingers, but due to time, she was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, so she had to give up.
It is said that Farq was sleepy at 9 o'clock and had to sleep before 10 o'clock, which made An Yizhi want to complain.
Are you an elementary school student?!
Like most large cities, the magic city does not close its gates even at night, and there is still an endless stream of merchants coming and going, and it is a city that never sleeps under the light of magic lights.
Especially near the business district, I always feel that it is more lively than during the day.
Because it is rich in magical items, which are quite popular commodities in other cities, and at the same time, the magic city also needs daily necessities and alchemy materials, which are considered to be the majority of the trade.
The area where the library is located is only separated from the commercial area by a warehouse.
In terms of liveliness, of course, it is not as good as the business district, but in terms of importance, no one can control it.
Not only is there the royal library of magic, which Endymion is proud of, but there are also many alchemy workshops, and even a shipyard dedicated to assembling and repairing flying ships.
When you sit in the carriage, you feel that the surrounding light changes from 'if there is light' to the brightness of the day, which means that the carriage has moved from the residential area to the area where the library is located.
On the road, An Yizhi also used the communication technique to talk to Apple Tea and Red, and made an appointment to meet at the entrance of the library, listening to the movement, Apple Tea was lowering the price with the shop owner, and the other party was a dwarf with a loud voice, and the battle was quite fierce......
- It seems to have a sense of dΓ©jΓ vu.
"Mr. An, the carriage is not allowed to enter any further."
"yes, got it."
The coachman opened the door, and An pointed to Shi Shiran and got out of the car.
Then he looked confused.
What came to his eye was a circular building that resembled the Colosseum in Rome, but it was very high, very high, so high......
Standing at the position of An Yizhi and looking at the building, he couldn't see where its top was, and even made people wonder if it had a top.
The towering marble faΓ§ade stretches into the sky, above the clouds, and if you look closely, you can see a little distorted space, as if the building has pierced the outer wall of the space.
Popular science is going to rely on Hela.
She said that the library of the magic city would not be so high from other places, and it could only be seen clearly if it was closer, but its main body was not in place, and only a small part of what Ann saw in his eyes was a physical building, and the vast majority of the library was in the endless void, a half-plane opened up by Endymion.
The building below actually acts as an anchor point to connect it to the half-plane.
At the end, Hela also told An Yizhi that this is a standard operation in mage buildings, and there is no need to be surprised, many mage towers, including the Star Tower, do this, which can reflect the compulsion of the owner of the mage tower......
- This style is inexplicably in tune with An Yizhi.
After sending Ann to the place, the carriage drove home, and Ann took a step towards the huge building.
Generally speaking, even if the building is in front of you, it takes a long time to walk in its direction, which is what the old saying of the Celestial Empire says, Wangshan runs a dead horse.
However, it seems that this place has been enchanted, and Ann Yizhi has only walked for a few minutes before coming to the door of the Magic Library, and it feels like the same technique of space folding as the one he encountered before.
In front of the door stood two tall iron golems, one of which emitted a synthesized sound that could not distinguish between male and female:
"Please show me the proof."
It is impossible to enter the magic library as casually as an ordinary state-run library, and if you break in, you must first ask the iron golem at the door if you agree.
An Yiyi touched his Star Tower badge, the Iron Golem's eyes shot a ray of light, swept up and down as if to confirm the authenticity, and finally the two Golems worked together to push open the stone door behind them, which was half a foot thick and four or five meters high.
"Welcome to this library, Master Anyichi."
This is a little high, hey!
Entering the main door of the library, passing through a corridor flanked by tapestries and drawings, the lobby of the library is further on.
Books, all books!
This is An Yizhi's most direct impression of the Magic Library.
As far as the eye could see, there were towering bookshelves that almost touched the ceiling, filled with books crammed with covers of various colors.
These clinged to the wall, connecting from one end of the field of view to the other, and it was hard to see where they extended, and this was only the first level of the Wizard Library!
Of course, there is a little more to it than just the book.
In the middle of the room, there is a row of tables and chairs for readers, and Ann even found a small bar nearby, where they offer refreshing drinks such as coffee for people to take.
Ann was not the only visitor, as he could see a number of guys in robes, some fighting at night with lights on the tables, some wandering among the bookshelves searching for the books they wanted, and the common denominator was that they all wore badges on their chests.
An Yi pointed out that there were the same badges as the ones in his hand, and it was estimated that they were also from the Star Tower, as well as some mages from the Mysteries and the Emerald Tower.
In addition, An Yizhi doesn't know him, the Three Towers Alliance includes many mage towers and mage organizations, and An Yizhi knows the mystery and the badge of the Emerald Tower because of the relationship between John and Elph.
But there's no need to know it.
An Yizhi's purpose is to pick a B-grade spell out of it, judging from the current collection of books, this will be quite a hard job, because there are so many books, not to mention that the magic library is not only on this level, and the truly high-level spells will definitely not be placed on the first layer.
He looked left and right and found a window that said 'Librarian' and was going to inquire.
The librarians in the wizarding world don't seem to be normal, the last time I was at the Academy of Magic, the librarian was a book of unfathomable strength, and the administrator of the magic library was a ......
Uh, it's a macaw, right? An Yizhi remembered that the animal world had said it, and he should not admit it.
"Looking for a B-rank spell? Oh, you're Ann Finger, and Endymion has greeted me. β
It's not surprising that parrots can talk, but it's a bit of nonsense to be able to communicate.
Anyway, in the wizarding world, it's not surprising to have Hela, a talking bird, and a parrot that can communicate with people.
"The thing you are looking for is on the 17~20th floor, and you can choose a B-grade spell copy to take away according to your points."
Saying that, the macaw casually ...... Uhpaw throws a piece of paper with the rules of the library, such as not destroying books or something.
"Did you bring melon seeds?"
"What?"
"Looks like I didn't bring it."
Macaw waves its wings:
"That kid Nikolai knows to bring me something delicious every time he comes, and his students are so unpopular, get out of here."
ββ¦β¦β
Is this parrot a good man......
Later, I heard Hela say that this macaw is actually Endymion's messenger, and it is the messenger signed by Endymion when he was young, and it is almost 800 years old now, don't look at the appearance of a parrot about the same size as Hela, the real combat power is so high that even if the ancient dragon comes, it can be opened.
The macaw, which is almost 800 years old, has really become a sperm.
Pinching the library management rules, Ann looked left and right, trying to find the elevator, but Hela told him that the Magic Library did not have an elevator......
ββββββββββ
In order to put down more books, or perhaps to appear high, each floor of the Magic Library is nearly 10 meters, and to go to the 17th floor is to climb 170 meters, which doesn't sound high, but if you calculate about 4 meters per floor in reality, 170 meters is more than 42 floors......
Climb more than 40 floors on foot, if it is in reality, even if he is tired An finger he can't climb up, this person has been staying at home since graduating from high school, except in bed, he has rarely done sweating exercises at other times, and his physical strength can be imagined.
Even after 35 levels of level increase in the game, coupled with the blessing of physical strength bracers and other equipment, it is still a lot of exercise to go up more than 40 floors in one breath, and when he climbs up, he has to stop and catch his breath for a while.
Compared with the crowded first floor, there are many fewer other visitors in this area on the 17~20th floor, An Yizhi stood at the staircase for a long time, and saw a few figures shuttling between the bookshelves.
It is said that there are C~B level spells on the 17th ~ 20th floor, which is already a high spell level among NPCs, and many NPC mages cannot cast a B-level spell in their lifetime, so the value of knowledge is also higher.
At the top is the category of A-level spells, that part will hardly be open to outsiders, I heard Hela say that in addition to a large number of A-grade spells, there are also many forbidden spells, similar to the gaze of the Dark Lord, casually use spells that may bring disaster, they will be permanently sealed as a knowledge reserve, and An Yizhi will not think about it.
Obviously, Miss Hella saw what Ann had in mind, he was not a person who followed the rules, and if he had the opportunity, he would definitely go to a higher floor to see if there was a chance to take advantage of it.
After resting for two minutes, An Yizhi finally had the strength to walk around and find a suitable spell under the influence of the dragon's heart and physical bracer, but it was not an easy thing to do.
The reason is naturally still a book, which is too special.
Although the number of books here is much smaller than that on the first floor, it is still not a number that can be easily scanned in a short period of time, and it is necessary to search for them.
Fortunately, the library has classified the collection of books in advance, and it is divided into nine factions according to the faction of magic skills, and there are no 'special' and 'magical' categories.
In addition to this, there are some historical materials and classics and the like, and An Yizhi is not interested in them, so he skips them directly.
What kind of B-grade spell to find, An Yizhi knows in his heart.
He still has that problem, insufficient defense and control, and explosive firepower, so he also focuses on these two aspects in the choice of spells.
Defensive spells are mainly defensive factions, and the control is mostly enchantment and change, but the spell system can also be, after all, the universal system, defense and control are available.
So he intends to start with these parts.
