Chapter 1102: Exclusive Reading Room
At this time, Alfie was led into a circular hall surrounded by rows of circular bookshelves. If you look down from above, you can see that the bookshelves are like concentric circles around the hall, and Alfie and Larquit are in the center of this concentric circle.
Alfi felt very confused, originally Larquette just brought him into the door of the magic library, but the moment after entering the gate, Alfie felt that after the eyes were dark and bright, he appeared here inexplicably. This gave Alfie a vague feeling that his entry into the place was too much like crossing some kind of spatial passage - in Wickburg, there were many such experiences.
What shocked Alfie the most was that there was no one in the huge magic library, it was as quiet as a tomb, and then thinking of Larquit's current state, a burst of cold air came out of his heart, could he have entered a ghost library?
"Mr. Larquet, where did you take me?" asked Alfie, who didn't know that she had been targeted by some big man, with a puzzled face.
"The Magic Library, of course. Larquet replied with a puzzled look on his face. Alfie doesn't look like a fool, how could she ask such a retarded question?
"Why isn't there anyone here?" Alfie immediately asked.
"Because it's my own reading room!" replied Larquet, with a proud look on his face.
"Poof~ Exclusive reading room, is there a place like this in the Magic Library?" Alfie asked suspiciously.
Since he had been preparing to go to the magic library to find a way to crack the petrified state, Alfie had naturally studied the magic library for a long time, as far as he knew, the magic library was open to all members of the magic academy, and there was no exclusive reading room at all.
Of course, according to different levels, the range of libraries that can be entered is also different, as for the so-called "Magic Library First and Second Floor Access" badge in Alfie's hand, it is a joke at all, even if there is no badge, the first and second floors of the Magic Library are open to any student of the Magic Academy for free - this is one of Alfee's rare experiences of being fooled, and Master Goodman, who is kind on the surface but cunning in his heart, was blacklisted by Alfi because of this.
"Hehe, it's a secret, only I have such an exclusive reading room. Larquet boasted.
"Oh?" Alfie's heart fluttered, maybe he could find something in this exclusive reading room in Larquet?
Ever since he knew that the first and second floors of the Magic Library were completely public, he hadn't really been confident that he could find a way to crack the petrified state of Coughlon from the books on the first and second floors. No matter how you look at the petrification caused by the Great Seal, it is a very high-end existence, and even if there is a way to crack it, it will never appear in the lower level of the magic library.
"I'd like to take a look in your private reading room, don't you know if it's appropriate?" Alfie asked, pretending to be innocent.
"Look at it, look at it!" Larquette waved his hand nonchalantly, he brought Alfie here, it was meant to show off.
"Then you're welcome. Alfie nodded politely at Larquet and began to "carelessly" weave through the bookshelves.
Alfie's purpose is very clear is to find a solution to the state of petrification, according to the classification of magic in the continent of Eliat, petrification belongs to the curse type of magic, so Alfie quickly searched for the classification of cursed magic on the bookshelf.
Like most magic libraries, the exclusive reading room belonging to Larquat has the largest collection of books in the four elemental magics, occupying almost more than eighty percent of the entire reading room, while the other side magics only account for fifteen percent in total, and the remaining five percent are miscellaneous books.
None of this was the focus of Alfie's attention, but as he hurried through the miscellaneous books, the corner of his eye suddenly swept over a quaint and dilapidated book, the title of which caught his attention: "The Naturalist of Eliat".
Huh? Isn't this the book that Sean often mentions? It seems to contain a lot of strange things about the continent of Eliat, and it seems that there is everything in astronomy and geography?
Thinking of this, Alfie's footsteps couldn't help but stop in front of the book, hesitating whether she should pick it up and read it first.
Alfie had a hunch that although Larquit did not say it explicitly, all the books in this exclusive reading room were not completely open to him unconditionally, and it was very likely that there was a limit to the number of libraries he could "borrow" from this unknown and mysterious reading room.
He didn't know if he should waste such a precious opportunity on this miscellaneous book, which was said to have been everywhere before.
"Can I borrow all the books here?" Alfie hesitated, thinking it would be better to ask clearly.
"Of course—" Ralquet's answer made Alfie's heart happy, but his next words made Alfie's heart sink to the bottom in an instant, "-impossible!"
"Please, can you finish your speech all at once, it's easy to get a heart attack when you're panting like this!" Alfie grinned, clutching her heart.
"Haha, you're too fast, how can you blame me for being slow to speak?" Larquette grinned as he twisted his beard, and he seemed to enjoy teasing Alfie.
"Isn't that slow?" Alfie recalled, the sentence that Larquitt said just now was a minute apart, and at a normal pace, one minute was enough to say hundreds of words!
"Do you know how long it took me to say the slowest word?" Ralquit winked slyly at Alfie.
"How long?" Alfie asked, but he immediately realized that he might have inadvertently jumped into the pit again.
"One year~" Sure enough, Larquit's answer made Alfie overwhelmed, one sentence said for a year, God knows who has the patience to listen to this sentence.
"What's the content of that sentence?" Alfie wanted to hear what he could say for a year.
"Do you want to hear it? I can tell you that again. "Larquette was very pleased with Alfie's curiosity.
"If nothing else, I'm more than happy to listen. Alfie vigilantly took the vaccination.
"Of course there are no other conditions, what do you think of me?" said Larquet, blowing his beard and glaring, as if he had been greatly insulted.
"That's great, I'll hear you!" Alfie said quickly. He originally just asked casually, but he didn't expect the old man to take it seriously, so he could only continue with his head. After all, he still wants to find a way to de-petrify from here, and he can't offend Larquet.
"Are you ready, I'm going to start~" Larquette asked, clearing his throat.
"Let's get started, I can't wait!" Alfie urged, pretending to be impatient.
