Chapter 53: The Library [5,000 Words]

Being able to encounter a black dragon on the second floor of the basement is what Marven wants to see the most.

The others in the Five-Colored Ancient Dragon, he was not sure of victory.

Although under the constraints of the advanced Transfiguration technique, their strength has been greatly limited.

It's basically the equivalent of a legendary wizard with a strong body.

Only the black dragon has no dragon magic ability, so it can be eaten to death by Marven.

It is said that this has something to do with the betrayal of the Black Dragon Clan at the beginning.

These ancient histories, while Marven is interested, are not the focus now.

His most important goal right now is the library.

As for the Nightmare Realm, he originally volunteered to help, not the main force.

In the case of the sword master Conn, the professor and others personally taking action, Ma Wen came with the mentality of playing soy sauce and seeing if he could get any benefits by the way.

After all, the underground temple, while dangerous, also hides many treasures. The library is one of them.

Besides, the underground temple is so complicated, and it is not easy to find the entrance to the next level.

Marven believes that even if it is a five-colored dragon, it is not so easy to find the entrance. At least that's what the metal dragons' intel suggests.

……

And if he wants to enter the library, Marven deduced it based on the information at hand, and it is still a bit troublesome.

Fati, the caretaker, is a very powerful spellcaster, controlling the entire library and guarding its doors.

Outsiders who want to enter the library have to get permission from her.

The Dragon's Soul had warned Marven since the fall of the Dragon God. Fathi became moody and inclined to extreme evil.

She herself is a god of the dragon god. It stands to reason that it should have died with the fall of Hartson.

For a number of other reasons, she survived. But it has also become extremely deformed.

This descendant of a giant dragon and a human race, with a terrifying dragon grammar and a god template, is basically equivalent to a super god servant.

In fact, a simple servant of God, Marven is not afraid.

Because most of the divine servants are spellcaster types, they have more experience in mastering and using divine arts.

Their defect is the flesh, but they tend to ignore it because of their divine powers.

After all, in this world. There are too few weapons that can possess the [God Forbidden] attribute.

Marven's green leaves are one of them.

That's why he likes to hunt the Servants.

But the problem is that Fati is not only a powerful dragonman wizard, her body has also been transformed by Hutson.

It is said that at the beginning, Hutson infused her with his own blood and the origin of the gods, and had a strong vitality.

But when it comes to the creatures of the origin of God, Marven is respectful.

Killing the phoenix before, killing so many times, you can see it.

Among them, as long as Marven makes a mistake, he will die without a place to be buried.

And in fact, in the process of fighting, he did give the Stygian Phoenix a chance. If it weren't for Eve's timely arrival and stabbing the phoenix to death with a sword, Marven's infinite killing is estimated to be unstoppable.

It can be seen that fighting such a resurrected creature is a very troublesome thing.

Marvin didn't want to face Fati directly.

So he needed a helper.

And the black dragon Ikarina. Clearly a good candidate.

……

Faced with Marven's request, Ikarina hesitated for a moment and finally chose to agree.

In fact. People under the eaves can't help but keep her head down.

Any dragon that is held to the heart by a dragon slayer spear in human form will tremble from the heart.

For they could hear voices that ordinary people couldn't hear—all the wails of dragons who had died under the dragon slaying spears.

Ikarina even heard the cries of several black dragons.

They cried and begged her to avenge them.

However, she could only choose to cooperate with Marven with a bitter face.

"Can you get your gun away?"

Ikarena said with a calm face: "My husband's life is still in your hands. You don't have to worry about me making a move against you. ”

Marven smiled slightly: "In order to cooperate happily, I think it is better for us to sign a contract." ”

Ikarina is alarmed:

"Contract? What contract? ”

"If it's a contract of servitude like Izaka's. I'd rather die. ”

Marven shook his head and said, "No." It's just a contract to ensure cooperation. ”

Marven didn't have the idea of taking both black dragons as his servants.

Although he does have the ability to do so.

Izaka was accepted because the circumstances required it.

At that time, the White River Valley was in a state of crisis, and the strong subjugation of the black dragon could not only damage the enemy's morale, but also strengthen its own strength.

The power of the black dragon is also very powerful, and it is also reflected in the subsequent battles.

Except for the dragon slaying trio, the black dragon's body is almost invincible.

Even if he is now seriously injured and recuperating, to the outside world, Lord Marven in the White River Valley has an army of black dragons (many people will mistake the shadow dragon for a member of the black dragon) is also very deterrent news.

……

And now, he just wanted to use Ikarina's power.

Of course, it's also good to stop the five-colored dragons from opening the nightmare realm by the way.

The professor once said that the opening of the Nightmare Realm requires not only the key of the green dragon, but also the gathering of the five colored dragons - it is said that the prophecy also specifically points to the return of the black dragon.

If Ikarina is dragged by herself, it is in the better interests of the professors.

They will have more time to plan and prepare.

……

The parties signed a one-time contract. The effective date is within three days.

For three days, they could not move each other's hands. Ikarina must lure Administrator Fati away for Marven, who promises to release the Black Dragon Izaka within three months if Ikarina complies and succeeds in holding Administrator Fati back.

This contract seems to be a bit unfavorable to Marven.

Ikarina had just helped to attract the Administrator's hatred, and she had gained so much benefit.

But think about it. Marven is also not a loss.

What's more, he played a little trick on the contract - he made a clear promise: if Izaka was willing to break the contract. Then he will take the initiative to break the contract of servitude with Itzaka.

However, in fact, according to the experience of these days. Marven has long figured out what kind of guy the black dragon Yizaka is: the characteristics of greed for life and fear of death, and being strong and weak are vividly reflected in his body!

Why did he sign a contract of servitude with Marvin?

There is only one reason: fear of death!

Although the enslavement contract made him be summoned by Marven, the contract also restricted Marven from attacking him!

It's a kind of protection in disguise.

At that time, as long as Marven reveals a little murderous aura, Itzaka will probably take the initiative to ask not to terminate the contract......

After all, as long as the contract is terminated, Marven can stab him at any time.

This is the helplessness of the black dragon.

This is also a little abacus designed by Marven. Having dealt with the devil so many times in his previous life, he is too familiar with the laws of contract.

……

"If Ikarina had helped, it would have gone a lot better."

"Itzaka is her husband and brother, she shouldn't be cheating, right?"

In front of a dark gate, Marven hides in the shadows on the side. Quietly pondered.

And Ikarina glanced at Marven, and finally slowly walked to the depths of the gate.

This is actually a large hall as well, separated only two corridors from where they had spoken before.

The number of biting books in these two corridors and halls has increased almost geometrically, and Marven's scalp is numb when he sees it.

If it hadn't been for Ikalina's intervention, he would have been bitten a lot if he cleaned up by himself.

Unless you transform into an Anzura Bear.

But in that case, the movement is too much.

It is bound to alarm Fati, the librarian.

And in the process of advancing, Marven also learned some news from Ikarina's mouth.

The reason why she extinguished those flames was because the flames in the brazier were the eyes of another powerful monster on the second basement floor, the [Brawler] Rogge.

The entire second basement floor. It's all in the hands of the brawlers.

These flames, all of them were his eyes.

If you say, Administrator Fati, as long as you don't try to break into the library, she won't do anything to you. Then Rogge, the brawler, is likely to attack every creature that breaks into the second underground floor.

After all, the information of the five-colored dragon is more direct, information about Rog the Brawler. The professor didn't mention it, and it doesn't seem like he knows.

Marven wanted to get more information out of Ikarina's mouth. It's a pity that the black dragon just casually said that Rogge the Brawler is a pet raised by the dragon god Hartson.

A mutant fire demon with terrifying strength. It's so scheming that no one knows where it exists or what it wants to do.

Anyway, on the second basement floor, I saw the brazier go out directly.

After Marven listened, he couldn't help but fall in a cold sweat.

I have encountered so many braziers before, but there is no accident, which can be regarded as lucky.

This underground temple is really in crisis.

It's just that the Dragon's Soul didn't remind itself of any information about Rog the Brawler, and didn't he know either?

Or maybe the dragon's soul has ulterior motives?

Marven was full of doubts in his heart.

This trip to the underground temple was indeed full of uncertainty, and this uncertainty seriously affected his judgment.

Now, he can only take one step at a time.

……

The location of the library, Ikarina knows.

It's just that the black dragons have no interest in libraries, and they don't have an almost endless thirst for knowledge like humans.

So much so that when Marven asked if he could trade the parchment scrolls dropped by the biting book to himself, the black dragon actually generously gave all those ancient scrolls directly to Marven.

This time, it was so enthusiastic that Marven was a little unbelievable.

He counted, and with Ikarina's parchment, he was almost able to make a book, only a few pages missing.

The name of that book was "Bileg's Theory of Force Field."

It seems that in ancient times, a wizard named Bileg wrote down his experience about force field sorcery.

Because it was a wizarding book, Marvin's reading was a natural failure.

He just put the parchment together and wanted to read. At least many of the basic qualities of wizards need to be learned - such as [Spellbook Interpretation], [Rune Knowledge], and so on.

As a professional who eats and eats, he is almost as illiterate in front of these books.

……

Marven waited quietly.

Not much. There was a shout of rage from behind the dark door.

Then a dark shadow swept through the gate and fled into the distance.

It was Ikarina's figure.

Chasing after her. It's a fiery red phantom, and she's even faster than Ikarina!

Marven's eyelids jumped, this is the speed of manager Fati?

With his own strength, he can only see a shadow clearly?

This means that the opponent's speed under the magic bonus is even faster than his own!

"Time is tight! I don't know how long Ikarina can drag it out! ”

Marven knew that there was not much time left for him.

At the moment, he didn't hesitate, after a simple plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, he sneaked in directly.

He started quickly. Rushed into the dark door.

Inside the gate, there is a huge space.

Inside the space, there are endless bookshelves.

These bookshelves seem to be endless, spreading from unknown distances to infinity.

It's just that the books on these shelves are used to confuse people.

If it weren't for the reminder of the dragon's soul, Marven would have really doubled on the bookshelf.

But in doing so, he could only find a bunch of useless books from the world.

You might even run into some traps – alarm traps, or instant death traps for book thieves!

Yes, all the bookshelves in this space are a façade.

This is not a real library of dragons at all.

"Entrance!"

"Entrance ......"

Marven ran directly on the bookshelf at a high speed. muttered in his mouth:

"Row 39, Row 39 ......"

"The Seventy-Second Bookcase......

……

Beyond the dark gate, two shadows fled quickly.

Suddenly, Ikarina stopped.

"Almost."

The black dragon sneered at the manager Fati: "Your mind is still so simple? Do you think I'm really interested in those bad books? ”

Fati, the manager, is an ugly woman.

She was very obese, and her whole body was like a balloon that had been filled. He also has a horrible sarcoma on his face.

Her voice was low, like that of a man: "Betrayer, what else do you have to quibble?" ”

"The entire Black Dragon Clan has betrayed the depraved existence of the gods. Even if you don't have an interest in the library, I'll kill you. ”

The black dragon smiled and said, "Really? What if I told you. Now there's a human kid who has crept into the library? ”

Fati's face changed suddenly: "You're lying!" ”

Ikarina leisurely pulled out a mirror. In the mirror, there was a scene of Marven hurrying past countless bookshelves.

"He's the one who's interested in the library, and you should kill him if you want to stick to your job."

The black dragon raised his proud chin: "But unfortunately, he is much more cunning than you think, and I even doubt that you can catch him in the library." ”

"I'm ready to help you with that—of course, it's a deal."

"You tell me the entrance to the third basement level, and I'll give you this mirror—don't be suspicious, Fati, this mirror is just an ordinary product of alchemy. I left something on him so I could catch his shadow. ”

Manager Fati said coldly:

"You're doing a good job, aren't you?"

"I could have killed you first and then dealt with that human, I don't believe that a human can find ...... so quickly"

In the next second, her face completely turned the color of pig liver!

As a librarian, her heart and mind are connected to the real library door.

When Marven found the secret door mentioned by the dragon's soul and entered the key to open it, Fati sensed it immediately.

The next second, she roared angrily: "Give me the mirror!" ”

Once Marven enters the inner space of the library, if she can't locate Marven in the first place, she may be punished greatly!

Although the entire library is under her control...... But in some places, it is still her blind spot.

If Marven had entered those places, she would have dared not imagine the follow-up.

The black dragon smiled and said:

"The entrance to the next level."

"You must know."

……

Library.

Behind the secret door is a quaint and desolate world.

When Marven opened his eyes for the first time, he was stunned.

It turns out that the library of the dragon clan is actually like this.

It's a small island.

There is a mountain peak on the island, surrounded by four types of terrain: desert, lake, forest and mountain.

At this time, Marven stood on the top of the mountain, looking down on everything.

As for the edge of the island, there is an endless blue ocean.

"It's ...... Outer plane? ”

Marven swallowed with some difficulty.

If it's really the outer plane, I'm afraid this place is full of dangers.

And whether it is the [Book of Forgiveness] that the Dragon's Soul needs, or the [Scroll of Wisdom] that is said to be able to suppress the Book of Naru, they are all hidden in some hidden places on this small island.

"What kind of library is this, this is clearly an island of books."

Marven couldn't help but complain in his heart.

The next second, he acted.

The first thing to be sure of is that the mountain itself is also a place of books.

All the way down, he could see many caves, the caves were densely packed, and there was a powerful divine power outside.

Through these transparent bans, Marven could see that some light clusters were constantly impacting the bans.

These are ancient books that are unknown how many years ago, absorbing a large amount of divinity, and they all have a certain amount of spiritual wisdom.

If time permits and conditions permit, Marven really likes to get a few more books like this to go back.

No matter which book is in it, although it is not as terrifying as the Book of Naru, it is definitely a treasure.

It's a pity that Fati, the administrator, won't let him get his wish.

He could only search for what he wanted as soon as possible.

According to the Dragon's Soul, the Book of Forgiveness and the Scroll of Wisdom are buried on the east and west sides of the library, respectively.

However, in this space, Marven has lost his sense of orientation from east to west, so he can only pick a random direction and run over quickly.

……

After descending the high mountains, he entered a rolling mountainous landscape.

These mountains are also very interesting.

There are a lot of stone tables with books scattered around them.

This way of collecting books seems to be messy, but in fact, it secretly follows certain rules.

Next to each book, there are dragons, elves and lingua franca with their respective names.

Fortunately, thanks to the lingua franca, Marvin was able to identify it.

He swiped quickly past the desks, but didn't touch the books themselves.

Because once you touch a book, it will inevitably trigger the library's alarm.

At this time, Marven didn't know that the black dragon had betrayed him.

Fati, the administrator, is actually already on his way.
