Chapter 63: The Missing Compendium
This is the third time I've been to the library, and as usual, there are very few visitors, so it's probably the quietest place in the academy.
Arriving on the first floor of the library, where you could smell the faint smell of parchment, Vickers walked to the familiar shelves and scanned the rows of books in front of him, looking for the one he needed.
He found the stack of books that contained the "Compendium of Alchemy Materials", first found a good place for the one he had memorized, and then raised his hand to get the one next to him......
"Where's the two?" Wickers looked to the right and muttered, "Three, four, five......"
Counting to twenty-four, Vickers stopped, frozen in place for a moment.
After a few blinks, he looked away, trying to find the copy he was looking for on other shelves, but it didn't take long for him to give up.
The books in the library are all accurately classified, and no fool will put them indiscriminately, so only on the bookshelf in front of Vickers will there be books about alchemy, as early as when I came to borrow "Alchemy Materials Compendium I", this set of twenty-four books has not been borrowed.
According to the current situation, "Alchemy Materials Compendium II" should have been borrowed by someone else, Vickers took "Alchemy Materials Compendium III", and now he can only read these books in a scrambled order.
Memorizing all the contents of the twenty-four "Compendium of Alchemical Materials" is the clearest requirement that Catimos give Vickers.
"If only we could know who borrowed it. Vickers was slightly suspicious, there was no time limit for borrowing books in the library, and who knew how long it would take for someone who borrowed the "Compendium of Alchemy Materials II" to return it, and if they would be borrowed by someone else again after returning it.
Vickers was about to go back to his bedroom, and he hurried to finish all the heavy compendiums in his hand, and walked down the narrow aisle between the bookshelves, when a book fell to the ground.
The book cover, made of white leather, was stamped with the emblem of the Linluo Zun Temple, and Vickers recognized it at a glance.
Picking up the white book, there was a gap in the bookshelf next to it, and it looked like it had fallen naturally to the ground.
Vickers gently pulled open the books on both sides of the gap, carefully tucking the white books into them little by little, and it would have taken some work to put a book on the shelves full of books, and it was still in the middle.
Just as Vickers put the white book away, a voice with surprise in his tone came, "Eh, isn't this a swordsmanship fool?"
Vickers was slightly stunned, and when he looked for a sound, a human teenager with short silver hair was standing not far away. He looked to be about the same age as Vickers, with a more handsome face than most of his peers, fair and shiny skin, very dark eyes, a tall nose, slender eyebrows, thin lips, and light lips.
This young man is not bad looking, and he is on par with Lucius, but compared to Lucius, he has a completely different temperament.
The young man was dressed in delicate white clothes and white trousers, very slim, and his steps were firm, and he was walking towards Vickers.
He was looking at Vickers, and Vickers was looking at him. This young man must have known Vickers, and Vickers looked at him a little familiarly, but he couldn't immediately remember who he was.
The boy walked up to Vickers and saw him putting the white book back, and smiled, "So you're interested in my clan." ”
"No......" Wix quickly explained, but he didn't have time to say it.
The young man took the book that Vickers had put back with great effort, pulled it out again, turned to the first page, pointed to the title, and said, "The history of our clan is too long, and my ancestors are the greatest people in the world, so there should be few people who are not interested." ”
The title of the book that the boy pointed to was "The Pioneer", and the pioneer was the surname of the head teacher of Vickers and the surname of the founder of the Linluo Zunyuan.
Vickers looked at the silver-haired boy with a strange expression, he claimed to be from the Pioneer Clan, then he must have a close relationship with this Wizard Academy, and how could such a person know him, and as soon as they met, he said the nickname that Lucius had given him.
Rudely putting back the Herald, the boy clearly put some effort on his toes, and he didn't seem to care too much about the damage he would cause to the books here.
"Hello, my name is Crett Dans Herald, my name is a bit long, just call me Crett, we are in the same class. Crett Dans smiled good-naturedly and offered to extend his hand.
Vickers shook Crett's hand in embarrassment, and the classmates who were in the same room with him didn't recognize him.
If Crett's surname was the Pioneer, then Six-phil would not be his relative.
Before Vickers could say his pseudonym, he was stopped by Crett, "Your name is Zanya Dawnbreaker, and it is estimated that few people don't know you after the trial, but they are even more impressed by the title of swordsmanship fool." ”
He asked again, "You are a mage, why do you use a sword? The mage's attack distance is long, as long as you keep a distance from the opponent, you are basically invincible." ”
Vickers wanted to explain, but he couldn't, and Crett didn't give him a chance to explain, "But it doesn't matter, some things that anyone has done will always be not understood, it's enough to be yourself, although I don't understand your use of swords, in fact, swordsmanship stupid description is quite appropriate." ”
I thought that Crete was going to encourage, but after listening to his words, I knew that this was not the case, and he just looked at it from Vickers's point of view.
Speaking of the trial battle, Vickers's impression of Crete gradually emerged, and he observed every competition between his classmates during the trial battle.
He was a berserk warrior of his time...... Vickers finally remembered that Crete had defeated his opponent with one blow in the trial battle, who would have thought that the silver-haired boy in front of him, who seemed to be very gentle, would leak a strong anger in just one second at that time, and the surging attack in a moment caught the opponent off guard.
Seeing Crett say this about himself seriously, Vickers reluctantly shifted his gaze, his gaze inadvertently moved to Crett's hand, and the whole person was immediately stunned, and his eyes couldn't help but enlarge a little.
Crett, like him, clutched a heavy book in his hands, and the books in their hands were almost identical.
"It turns out that the "Compendium of Alchemy Materials No. 1" was borrowed by you. Slightly surprised, Crete grabbed the book from Vickers' hand and shoved his own into his hand.
Vickers flipped through it, and what was on the palm of his hand was indeed the "Compendium of Alchemy Materials II" that he needed.
"This is the third one, I put the first book back, why don't you take the one I put back?" asked Vickers.
Crete waved his hand, put away the compendium, and said, "It's okay, I don't care, it's no problem for me to memorize those boring books upside down." ”
"Oh, then I'll go first. As soon as the words fell, Vickers took the steps he had already thought about and walked out of the library.
Crete quickly followed, shouting behind Vickers, "Let's go together, we are both alchemists, and we are still in the same class." ”
