Chapter 88: The Forbidden Book

"Huh, do you recognize this sword?!" Arthur didn't expect the dragon slaying sword behind his back to be called out by an old blacksmith by his real name. He looked at Raphael carefully, and found that he could not match any of the blacksmith grandmasters he knew, and he couldn't help but wonder about the origin of the old blacksmith.

Raphael, who was old and refined, nodded calmly after noticing the gaffe, with a nostalgic look on his face: "I heard my teacher mention it decades ago. He said that the real Dragon Slaying Sword is not a divine weapon, but a dragon-shaped fighting spirit gathered by the Dragon Slaying Knight's years of cultivation! With a dragon-shaped fighting qi, any piece of mortal iron can be called a dragon-slaying sword. Even Arthur McEnn, the modern-day dragon slayer, is just an ordinary iron sword with a dark blue hilt on his back!"

"Ha, so you're just guessing!," Arthur laughed, "Yes, the real sword is not the physical gold and iron, but the courage and determination to face the dragon with a human body......!"

"It's just a naΓ―ve stupid old man, he has been killed by my fellow disciple a long time ago, if you want to find him, I'll take you to his grave twice when I have time. Okay, if you have something to say, get out of here! I'm going to work, and I don't have time to entertain a big guy like you!"

"What a rush!" Arthur smiled faintly, "then to make a long story short, I'll ask you about a young man named 'Ronin Campbell'." When I heard that he was a skilled blacksmith and had entered Morrowind Academy, I guessed that he might have been here. ”

"No! I don't know any young man! If you want to find someone, go straight to Flammel! That old fellow loves to wander around and cheat on children all day long. He must know more than I do!"

"Boom!" Before Arthur could explain, Raphael closed the door. He has a good-natured side, but only for cute little girls!

"Whew, what a stubborn old man!" Arthur inquired to no avail, so he left in a huff and went to Flamel for help.

At the same moment, Luo Ning arrived at the large library surrounded by statues of the Four Sages.

Similar to the Dragon Feng Mansion in Maple Grove Town, the Great Library of Morrowind Academy was carefully arranged with a fine and dense spatial magic array in the corner of the wall. Ronin walked in through the main entrance, and was greeted by an empty room the size of half a football field. Dozens of crystal chandeliers hang from the ceiling of the room. The flame on the chandelier is not a candle flame, but a group of magical light that emits a warm and soft light, reflecting the entire space in a comforting pale yellow. From the crystal chandelier downward, the walls are painted with colorful figures in different postures and lifelike. Among them were mages and priests, warriors and assassins, all with Morrowind's emblem painted on their chests: a golden storm.

The wall below the mural has eight light-gray spired arches three or four meters high. The doorframe was sparsely surrounded by magical spells, and Ronin tried to read them, only to find that they were all elementary spells such as the "Tranquility Mantra" that kept people in a calm mood.

In the middle of the eight pointed arches is a pure white and immaculate lion statue. The statue is about two meters tall and looks down to read, and not only is the silhouette realistic, but even the lion's hair is as shiny as the real thing. What makes Luo Ning find most interesting is that there is a stone platform in front of the statue, on which there is really a thick black book.

"The stone statue can't read, why do you have to put on a real thing? I don't understand ......"

He was secretly wondering, but suddenly it was dark all around, and only the two eyes on the lion statue were still glowing a strange green light.

"Are you the student who came to help clean up?" A calm voice suddenly appeared beside him, and the coldness in his tone reminded Luo Ning of the Witch of the Firmament.

He turned his head at the sound of the voice, and saw a petite figure holding a lantern suddenly appear in the leftmost archway. A white robe trimmed with purple trim, long chestnut hair with a ponytail hanging down from his chest, and a pair of round silver-rimmed eyes on his face. What appeared in front of Luo Ning was a young mage with a cold expression.

When the girl saw him, she did not answer, nor did she wait, but walked to the center of the room with the lamp, and stretched out her white and tender fingers towards the chandelier above her head. In an instant, the light elements in the air swarmed at least the tips of the female fingers, swirling into hundreds of light yellow balls of light light the size of rice grains.

"Light magic?" This is an extremely rare magical attribute that he has only seen in Wendy and a few other priests since Ronin awoke.

The white ball of light swirls upwards with incredible precision onto each crystal chandelier in place of the extinguished light source.

Under the soft light, the girl put down the lantern and looked at Luo Ning, the expression on her face remained unchanged: "So please answer me, are you a student who came here to help?"

"Ah, oh, that's right, Ronin Campbell, I'm a new blacksmith apprentice from the academy!" replied Ronin hurriedly.

"Grant, what do you think?"

Luo Ning was wondering who "Grant" was calling, but saw that the white lion statue suddenly opened its mouth and let out a low roar, revealing a mouth full of sharp white teeth: "Magic, fighting spirit, and a trace of strange energy! But at least it's not the demon disguise." ”

Seeing Luo Ning's surprised look of "seeing a ghost", the white lion showed an extremely humane smile: "Haha, little guy, don't you really think I'm a stone carving!"

"Isn't it fun to play dead and play someone else?" Roning complained boldly. Anyway, this is Morrowind Academy, and the two puppets are on standby at any time, so he is not afraid that the white lion will be rough.

The white lion slapped the book in front of him with his paws: "Hey, little boy, can you be reasonable? I didn't pretend to be dead." Look, I'm not reading?"

Then its face was solemn, and it let out a low roar and spewed out a large white ice mist, and its eyes became extremely sharp: "Forget about other things, there is one thing I must warn you! You had better behave in this big library! Otherwise, I won't be able to spare you!"

As the white lion spoke, a thin layer of hoarfrost began to extend from under its feet, instantly covering the entire room.

"What a strong water magic! This white lion didn't reveal any breath just now, but the magic power that erupted at this time was so violent, just one breath, the power was comparable to high-level magic!"

Luo Ning's comment finally made the white-robed girl react. She nodded slightly, and at the same time opened her palm, and a strong air flow burst out between her five fingers, absorbing the frost in the room at all. Just from beginning to end, her expression

"I'm Whitney, the caretaker of the Great Library. This is Grant, the Snow Lion King, the guardian beast of the Great Library. Its strength is also among the top among the seventh-level demonic beasts. You're safe in its breath, and you're qualified to go there. Come with me!"

Whitney turned and walked to the leftmost doorway. Ronin followed closely, only to find that Grant, the Snow Lion King, glanced at him with sympathetic eyes.

"What kind of eyes are that?" Ronin was puzzled, and followed Whitney through the narrow hallway to a remote room occupied by nine black bookshelves with magic spells painted on the sides. There were no desks and chairs in the room for teachers and students, and the doors, windows, walls, and floors were all pitch black, except for the bookshelves. Only when you look closely can you see the existence of countless intricate dark lines.

"It's so uncomfortable!" Luo Ning's voice was weak, and countless tiny blood vessels appeared on his cheeks: "The magic fluctuations here are so overwhelming that I am almost out of breath, but my soul ocean is boiling violently, and the magic power is also on the verge of collapse! Whitney, what the hell is going on? What is this room?!"

"Darkness stands on the other side of the light, and light overrides the end of darkness! This passage in the Genesis Secret Book is not a nonsense, but the truth and origin of all the forces in this world! If you can find the balance of that night, the forces in these books will naturally not be able to help you. ”

"Books?"

"That's right. Forbidden spells, blood magic, divine powers, and other powers that should not appear, as well as many historical truths that cannot be made public! These nine bookshelves are the 1,709 forbidden books that have appeared in the Lost Continent!"
