Compared to the Municipal Hospital of the Twelve Witches or Capone.

Of course, a building of the nature of the city library would not choose to open at night.

What's more, Ronald is not a thief, and he does not plan to steal from a place like a library, where books can be borrowed.

So even if he took Swift's advice.

Ronald still took Il and Kostadt and honestly returned to the cabin to rest.

Until sunrise the next day, the three of them got up and finished their breakfast on the steamer. Then I packed my bags and rushed to the library that Swift had mentioned last night.

As a port city.

The residents of Capone have already started their busy work day long before sunrise. So when the three of Ronald walked down the morning street, the impression of the city was extremely busy.

Horse-drawn wagons carrying goods, hawkers shouting at intersections in the morning, and the noisy sounds of work coming from large and small docks, these things can always be heard or seen on the road.

I walked all the way to the city for nearly half an hour.

When the hustle and bustle of the city began to fade, the Ronald trio finally saw the city library at the end of the street.

It is an old building.

The vicissitudes of history and the smell of oldness, you almost don't have to go in, just look from the outside, you can smell the smell by sight.

A two-story building is protected in the middle by a circular wall, and the wall itself can be seen in the incongruity caused by the difference in the color of the different bricks after many repairs.

“……”

Staring at the library in front of you.

As soon as he arrived, Il's made his own statement about the place:

"Boss, this is my first time in the library?"

Ronald turned his head and smiled at Il:

"Your first visit to the library was entirely for yourself, and it was definitely a good experience."

Ill was intrigued by Ronald's statement:

"Boss, listen to what you mean, the first time you went to the library, did you go to the library because you had another purpose?"

“……”

Il's question evokes Ronald's memories of the past.

Thinking back to the reason why he first stepped into the library when he was young, Ronald couldn't help but smile on the corner of his mouth:

"Hah, that's kind of interesting."

"The first time I walked into the library, I saw an advertisement for a city library on the street, and at that time, it only cost 90 ......yuan to apply for a library card for a year's free loan," Ronald suddenly realized the difference between the two world currencies, so he immediately changed his words, "In short, it is the price of a night in a hotel that is not too expensive." ”

"Anyway, I was in a bit of a mood to take advantage of it, so I went into the library and applied for a library card."

"And then?" Il continued to ask, a little curious.

"Then I realized the beauty of books, and I couldn't escape anymore."

Answering Il with a smile, Ronald stepped forward and led the way into Capone's city library.

The library in front of them.

At about eight or nine o'clock in the morning, the doors are open to welcome people in.

It is a pity that it is limited to the question of education per capita.

Capone has a low literacy rate among the inhabitants of the city.

So when Ronald and the others walked in, they couldn't find anyone else who came to the library to read a book except for two well-dressed men nearby.

The structure of the interior of the library is similar to the circular façade on the outside. Standing in the antechamber to greet borrowers, Ronald looked through the central reading area and could directly see the huge unobstructed stacks behind him.

Countless curved bookshelves, surrounding the circular walls, fill every corner of the interior building. Except for a few empty bookshelves on the first floor, almost every inch of space as far as the eye can see is completely filled with books.

Long history, good management.

The combination of the two resulted in the library in front of them.

And for Ronald, it was definitely a pleasant surprise.

He had no idea that in Capone, a modest port city, he would come across such a well-stocked library.

It's a pity that the fleet is still two days away.

Ronald's mood became a little low.

He's probably not going to have much of a chance to read here.

If you really want to enjoy the huge stock of books here, I am afraid that you can only find a spare time in the future and come here to deal with this regret.

“……”

"Sir, miss, what books are you looking for?"

Just as the three of them looked at the library and were shocked by the volume of books it contained.

The old man in charge of the library in the front hall also walked over at this moment.

He looked at the three young men and women in front of him.

I searched through my memory, but I didn't remember that there were three literate people in Capone. As a long-time library manager, he knows almost all the cultural people in the city!

But even if they don't know Ronald, they do.

The attitude of the old man is still quite friendly.

Because just by looking at Ronald's appearance and clothing, you can know that these three people are definitely not ordinary people, not to mention that these are still characters who have a need for books.

"If you need a book, you can tell me directly."

"I basically remember where the collections in the library are stored."

Someone came up to help, and Ronald naturally smiled back:

"That's right, sir."

"We came here to look for some older history books, preferably with information about diseases and plague epidemics."

"It's old...... Disease...... Plague Epidemic ......"

Hear what Ronald wants.

The elderly librarian thought with a frown.

Due to the special scope of this request, he quickly asked Ronald again for specific details:

"Capone's doctors were very good at dealing with diseases, so the city was largely plague-free. Sir, how old are the books you want? ”

Ronald recalled the information provided by the director of the hospital and immediately replied:

"As far as I know—it should have been before the founding of the country of Ireni."

"So long?" The old man was a little surprised by Ronald's needs, but the conditions were refined to this point, and he still immediately determined the scope of the books, "Before Ireni was established, there was not even a period when there were not even periodicals such as yearbooks and history books. ”

"If you want to understand that period, you can only barely get a glimpse of the real history through some old travelogues and adventure notes."

The voice landed, and the old librarian pointed to the upper level of the library's collection room:

"The books you want, on the sixteenth shelf on the upper level."

"If you want to read here, you just need to keep it quiet and don't damage the books, but if you plan to borrow it, please come to the front desk and ask me to register."
