Chapter 514: Library

Proas's brother didn't stay in the banquet hall for long, and even though Proas said something that made him angry, he finally left with the sentence "It's not the decency of the nobility to quarrel in public" and left.

Even so, Proyas's mood seems to have been greatly affected, at least Lu Tao can see that Proyas's attention is not all on the food in front of him, and when he enjoys the food, he will be half-hearted when enjoying the food.

After that, Lu Tao left the palace of Harias, since Proyas was in a bad mood, he had no reason to continue to stay, and Lu Tao still had this in his eyes.

Returned to the hotel where Lu Tao and the three stayed, Mickey and Princess Sophie were naturally curious about where Lu Tao went, Lu Tao explained a little, but it attracted Sophie's envy, the food in the nearby tavern, it doesn't matter if you eat once or twice, but after eating too much, Princess Sophie began to miss the exquisite food in the palace of Issos, especially the wine on the table as a drink, which seems to be very addictive to Princess Sophie, but no one can help this, even if you want to buy wine that can be imported in Praar, the capital of Harias, Mickey and Princess Sophie can't find such a place, it seems that all the fine wine is supplied to the palaceAt most, you can see one or two from the aristocracy, and you can't buy it at all in ordinary markets.

Although he didn't know why the merchants here were not even willing to make this kind of money, Lu Tao guessed that it was probably because of the short supply of good wine, and there was no spare energy to provide such a luxurious drink to the ordinary people, and the nobles who were qualified to use this drink had their own channels, but this channel was not something that Lu Tao and Mickey could find.

After a day without any twists and turns, Lu Tao learned from Mickey and Princess Sophie that they had no intention of leaving Prar in a short period of time, because the news from elsewhere seemed to have found the figure of the demon outside Praar, and it was not a minority, although Prar's city gate was not closed, but this kind of well-described rumor made the people out of the city a lot less at once.

So early the next morning, Lu Tao returned to the outside of the golden building, found President Douglas and joined the Alchemy Society, and then obtained the qualification to enter the Alchemy Association's library.

These things took half a morning, not that it was so troublesome to join the Alchemy Association, after all, with the permission of President Douglas, any formalities were just this process, and it took more time to make Lu Tao's name tag, or it can also be called a pass and ID card and other things, only this kind of thing can enter and exit the library freely, because there are some magical props, the library administrator does not recognize people, only the thin golden card.

"Okay, Mr. Lu Tao, this is your name tag, you can freely enter the library through him, I'll take you there." ”

It was still Anna who received Lu Tao, and the golden card was also done by Anna to help Lu Tao from beginning to end, for which Lu Tao also contributed a few hairs to bind his identity to this golden card, and I don't know what kind of black technology was used, it is said that if I didn't use my own card, I wouldn't be able to enter the library.

Listening to Anna's words, Lu Tao nodded: "Okay, then I'll trouble you." ”

Anna smiled: "It's okay, Mr. Lu Tao, now that we are both intern alchemists of the Alchemy Association, we don't need to be so polite, please come with me." ”

"Good

bar. Lu Tao nodded, and also said to Anna: "Then you don't need to add a gentleman after my name, just call me by my name." ”

Following Anna, from the hall on the first floor to the corridor in the other direction, the distance of the corridor was not long, and after turning a corner, he saw a door that was also golden, even more dazzling than the golden layer outside the building of the Alchemy Society, which made Lu Tao wonder if this door was really made of gold.

"Lu Tao, if you want to enter this door, you only need to hold a name tag in your hand, as long as you hold a name tag in your hand, this door will not stop us, otherwise no matter who it is, you will be blocked out, even if you want to go in with someone, it is impossible, and the people in the car can block any unregistered person who does not carry a name tag. ”

"So amazing?"

Looking at this golden door, Lu Tao's curiosity suddenly rose, he took the name card in his hand, stretched out his hand and pushed the door open, sure enough, this golden door was easily pushed open, Lu Tao handed his name card to Anna again, and reached forward, but he encountered a hard air wall in the original position of the door, saying that it was hard, it may not be suitable, after all, the surface of the air wall is still soft to the touch, but there seems to be an uncompromising tenacity, so that people have no way to pass through the past, even with Lu Tao's own strength, there is no way to open any gap to enter。

Retracting his name tag from Anna's hand, Lu Tao asked with some curiosity: "Anna, what is the principle of this?"

"I don't know. Anna smiled: "President Douglas said that if you want to find out the secret of this door, then maybe the clue to the answer lies in these books in the library, oh, by the way, this door was not made by the Alchemy Society, but brought by the alchemists who came to Praar, the capital of Harias. ”

"What you brought here?" Lu Tao was even more curious: "Where did you bring the things from?"

"It is said that it was brought from the Empire of Light, but I don't know the specific situation, although everyone says so, but in fact, the first batch of alchemists who came here are not willing to talk about it at all. ”

"Bright Empire ......" Lu Tao thought about it with his head, and always felt that this name was wandering somewhere in his mind, as if he had heard it somewhere.

As if seeing Lu Tao's confusion, Anna opened her mouth to explain: "The Empire of Light was the most powerful country before the demons came to this world, and it was they who opened the door of demons and lured the demons to this world like a tide. ”

Lu Tao suddenly realized that he had seen a description of the Empire of Light in a book before, but he had experienced too many things in the middle, and as a result, he had forgotten all about the Empire of Light.

Anna explained the origin of the Empire of Light, and then spoke: " It is said that the emperor of a certain generation of the Bright Empire was interested in the elixir of immortality, so he collected the most famous alchemists in the whole continent, hoping that they could make a drug that could make people immortal, but it was not successful until the end, the emperor died young, shorter than the emperors of the previous Bright Empire, and the later emperors did not cancel this institution, but changed its name and became the Alchemy Association, studying some strange things, ah...... These contents are actually available in the library, if Lu Tao you

If you are interested, you can read it. ”

Lu Tao nodded, looked at the faint bookshelves behind the door, and said, "Let's go, then let's go in." ”

After Lu Tao and Anna entered the golden door, the golden door closed by itself, Lu Tao looked forward, only to find that on the table near the door, there was an old man with white hair, wearing a gray robe, and the sound of snoring made the surrounding bookshelves seem to start to vibrate slightly.

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Tao realized that the air wall before it could not only block others from entering, but also isolate the sound inside and outside.

"Shhhhh ”

Lu Tao nodded, followed Anna's steps, and quietly passed by the table where the old man was sleeping, and then went all the way to the bookshelf inside.

The bookshelves here are no different from the Anmen Library that Lu Tao once went to, one by one in a large space, and each row of bookshelves has a text describing the classification of the books contained in this row of shelves, but how to borrow them, Lu Tao doesn't know.

"Lu Tao, there are two kinds of books here, one can only be read in the library, but cannot be borrowed, and the other can naturally be borrowed to read. You see here, if the side of the book is painted with a green mark, it is a book that can be taken out, and this kind of red mark will be blocked by the door outside, and any behavior that wants to take the red mark book out will be censored by the Alchemy Association, you need to pay attention to this, don't accidentally do such a thing, otherwise even if you prove your innocence in the end, it will take a lot of time, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Lu Tao nodded: "I know." ”

"Then Lu Tao, if you have any books you want to read, read them here, I will go back first if I have something to do, as for Lord Hatton, when he was the librarian, he just lay on his desk and read books, if you don't have anything particularly urgent, don't disturb him, don't care what he's doing, just do your own thing." Anna glanced at something similar to a watch on her wrist, said to Lu Tao with some apologies, and pointed to the stairs in the corner of the library: "Oh, by the way, there is one last thing, that is the forbidden place in the library under the stairs, although no one can enter, but I still have to warn you, it is best not to go near there, otherwise it will cause alarm from the Alchemy Association." ”

Nodding, Lu Tao said to Anna: "I know, Anna, if you have something to do, you can go and get busy first, I'll be here myself." ”

After Anna left the library, Lu Tao looked around the large library and walked directly to the end of one of them.

Speaking of which, if it weren't for Lu Tao dropping out of school halfway, he would have liked the feeling of incorporating knowledge into his mind, he was like an ancient dragon who liked to collect those shiny things, and the various knowledge developed in human history was those treasures, and it was undoubtedly a happy thing to collect them one by one.

So, what could be more exciting than a library that contains all the knowledge of another world?
