Charles returned to the Central Library after the war.

As for Zhang Ze's request to borrow props to play, he was beaten back mercilessly. The transformation ability of the 'Viper Cloak' can not only save his life, but also make up for the lack of concealment of his priesthood, and there are many uses, so how can he borrow it casually.

The third floor of the library.

A lifelike statue of a mage, placed in the deepest part of the shelves.

The statue is the former president of the Royal Mage Society, the Royal Wizard Van Geda Heist.

Charles stood in front of the statue and leaned over to pay his respects to the mage.

Players who choose to be born in Cormier have more or less learned about the history of the country. The Charr is certainly no exception, and it can be said that he has been studying it for a while.

Forty years ago, Azeen IV was crowned on the throne, and the Purple Dragon Kingdom reached its peak under his rule. The enlightened reign of King Azeon allowed Cormier to prosper for a long time.

During this period, the Cormier population exploded, its power and influence grew, and each generation possessed more wealth and knowledge than the previous one.

The royal magician Van Geda Hester is King Azern's most powerful advisor and helper.

Now, several years have passed since the 'Rebellion of the Dragons', and King Azeon and the dragon have died together, and the Iron Princess Alousel, the Queen Mother Phil Farrell, and the sick Van Geda Hester have joined forces to put the young Azeon V on the throne.

Van Geda Heist then chose the battlefield warlock Caladnay as his successor and retired from the eyes of the world of Torrell.

Now the Cormiers are nostalgic for the retired mage, hoping that he will return to the regents to help the young lord Azeen V, stabilize the turbulent homeland, and punish the filthy nobles who wander on the verge of betrayal.

Charles heard that Cormier's Hidden Library, which was established under the auspices of the royal magician Van Geda Heist, contained a collection of rare texts that were difficult to find in ordinary libraries, and was generally only open to the royal nobles, the Royal Mage Guild, and the high-level of the Purple Dragon Legion.

So one can imagine how excited Charles was when he received the [Royal Mage Guild Medal of Honor].

For him, this reward is like a treasure of the past. There were so many useful books in the Secret Library that he should be worried about how quickly he could finish them.

Holding the Medal of Honor, the statue in front of him, according to the old mage Haziz, will lead him to the Hidden Library.

Charles restrained his excitement and apprehension, and stood in front of the statue, and then an invisible arch quickly grew in front of him, swallowing him in one fell swoop.

It seems to have been teleported, and his head is a little dizzy.

When he opened his eyes again, Charles had already found himself in a courtyard of birds and flowers.

"You've discovered the 'Hall of the Crowns.'"

The minimap was lit up, and when Charles opened it, the edges of the corners were pitch black, except for the courtyard.

"Hello, Holy Presence."

A dirt golem walked up to him. The Golem was endowed with a lot of wisdom by the mages, so he knew the identity of Charles, and said in a dull voice, "Which area do you want to go to read the books?" ”

"There's a religious zone, there's a historical zone, there's a mystery zone, there's a plane zone, there's a natural zone, there's an underground city, there's an architecture and engineering zone...... There are all the books that should be there, and the Crown Hall has everything. ”

"Go to the mystery zone." Charles didn't hesitate.

If there was no episode of Zhang Ze being trapped, then he should have looked up the information of the 'Stone of Ion' in the mysterious area. Now he was desperate to understand how the stone would be unsealed for the second time.

The Mud Golem leads the way in silence.

The courtyard is very wide, and on the way Charles meets many royal mages. These mages were either white-haired and white-eyed, or middle-aged scholars, all focused on their own worlds, and no one was surprised by the visit of Charles, a holy presence.

There were a few children dressed in fine clothes, all pointing at Charles, all with curiosity in their eyes, and from time to time they let out a playful laugh.

These children should all have royal blood.

Naturally, Charles maintained the kind and kind smile that a priest should have. He had left the 'Viper Cloak' and Chainmail in his backpack, and was now wearing only the atroverted priest's robes, and the children were laughing and tugging at the hem of his clothes, looking east and west, as if they had never seen any other Holy Prehensible.

"Alan, Baker, you all go away, don't bother the priest."

A female guard who suddenly appeared grabbed several children. The female guards were tall and tall, wearing the patterned light armor of the royal guards, and the hilt of the sword at her waist and the gauntlet of the sword also had the imprint of the royal family.

"Excuse me, priest." After the female guard chased the child away, she hurried away to catch up with Charles, and her tone and expression were very sincere.

"I'm Charles."

"Beautiful young lady, may Ogma protect you."

Charles also assumed the style of a priest, leaning over and smiling while holding the emblem.

The female guard was stunned, and then her expression became a little playful, and she said, "Pastor Charles, I have met other Holy Presences, but they are not as polite as you. ”

"Is Miss trying to say that the Holy Arrivals are a bunch of ignorant and fearless people? I just think it's a compliment. Charles's smile remained unchanged, and he said slowly: "Just like this friendly land, the thousand-year-old kingdom Cormier, after the death of the ancestor Azeon IV, didn't there also be many traitors?" ”

His words were directed at the aristocracy.

The female guard, of course, understood the irony, her face changed slightly, she stared deeply at Charles, pressed her left arm to her chest, and leaned down to make a court salute, "I am the chief of the guard of the Crown Palace, Felina Oberskel. ”

"Obeiskel?"

Charles's expression froze slightly.

Obeiskel, which is the surname of the Cormier royal family. It seems that this crown hall is indeed very valued, and the royal family has sent its own people to garrison it. Although he couldn't understand the strength of the female guard, he could barely deduce from his aura that this was probably an advanced professional at the fourth-order hero level (level 30).

As for the specific occupation of the chief of the guard, Charles couldn't see it.

Light, intricately carved golden inner court light armor shrouded her, and on her left side hung a slender and beautiful decorative sword, rather than the broad-bladed sword commonly used by adventurers.

"It should be an advanced profession such as a sword mage or a spell swordsman."

Charles's heart moved.

Most players still have a hard time finding a basic class, and even if they meet the conditions of an advanced class, they will definitely be delayed because they can't find a mentor.

In fact, the aboriginal high-level professionals can become the guide of the player. It's just that as in reality, if you want an indigenous person to guide you, you have to have a good relationship and gain trust. Zhang Ze is more suitable for advanced school mages, or elemental mages. Spell swordsman, a profession that combines magic and martial arts, Zhang Ze doesn't like it very much.

Thinking about it, Charles walked side by side with the head of the guard, Philina, and followed the Earth Golem to a separate area of the Crown Palace.

The doors of each room were open, and the neatly arranged bookshelves could be faintly seen. A dozen or so mages sat in the courtyard or at their desks, and if it weren't for their movements as they turned the pages, Charles would have thought it was a stone statue.

"Pastor Charles, the Hall of the Crowns has opened to you, and may you find the knowledge you are looking for here."

The dirt golem hummed, then turned and walked away.

"The Medal of Honor of the Mage Association was specially awarded to you by President Caladnali against public opinion, and the Crown Hall will not set restrictions on you, I hope you can cherish it."

There was a hint of warning in the words of the chief of the guard, after all, there were too many Holy Arrivals with unclean hands and feet.

"Also, don't expose your medals when walking in the outside world. That group of rotten nobles has been seeking the right to enter the crown hall. If they knew that a Holy Presence had made it first, those guys would have gone crazy. ”

Firina glared at Charles meaningfully, and left after the dirt golem.

"Aristocracy?"

Shardon stayed in place, squinting slightly.

Of course he understood what Filina meant.

As one wizard said, in Cormier, the Purple Dragon Kingdom, the Obeiskel family, the aristocratic class, and the Royal Mage Guild formed the three legs of the bench on which the general public sits.

The aristocracy controls most of Cormier's commerce, and they don't welcome the Advent like the royal family, as many of the player's questlines in the town are tied to these nobles. It is often to investigate the conspiracy of a certain nobleman with neighboring organizations such as Sambia and the Santarin Society.

Since it was one of the three legs that supported Cormier, the aristocracy was certainly not satisfied with the status quo. They have long sought the right to enter and exit the crown hall freely.

This is not because the nobles liked to read, but because the crown hall had access to the palace, which symbolized the status of reverence. During the reign of the first king Azeen IV, the aristocracy was suppressed by the king and the royal magician Van Geda Heist, and it has been dormant to this day, and it is simply a powder keg that can explode at the slightest point.

It's not hard to imagine how a nobleman would be furious if he saw his Medal of Honor.

"It seems that the president of the Royal Mage Association, Caladnay, gave me this medal, which is a bit of a divertive contradiction......"

He is not stupid, and he is faintly aware of the deep meaning hidden under the medal.

This is the plan of Caradenay, even if he knows that he will be hostile to the nobility if he has a medal, but the charr will not lose the medal. This is equivalent to an ancient treasure for him, and it is too precious.

Step into the Mystery Zone.

Mystery books refer to ancient secrets, magical traditions, and mystical symbols, as well as dragons, magical beasts, and the like.

The charr will inquire about the history of the ancient Nethriel Empire to see if they can find information and clues about the unsealing of the 'Stone of Ion'.

Fortunately, the books in the room have been sorted and neatly arranged, like a modern large library, and the internal environment is very comfortable.

In the process of searching for books, Charles couldn't help but wonder if the Crown Hall was a self-created space, or if it was a secret manor located in the depths of the imperial court, hidden in the world by the magic array.

Therefore, he felt that the mage statue in the Central Library was very likely to hide a portal.

Put these distractions aside. Charles walked around the shelves, then grabbed a tome and stood in the aisle to read it.
