Al had already heard these legends, but he didn't dare to feel terrified at all about the stories that disappeared inexplicably, but instead became extremely interested, but he didn't have the opportunity to go to class a few days ago.

Because today is the weekend, it is natural for Al to have a chance to find out.

Al arrived at the Ceylon Library early in the morning.

Although he had arrived early enough, the library was already full of people when Al arrived.

These people apparently spent the night here.

Ceylon's libraries are completely free and open, but unlike ordinary libraries, their books are basically not borrowed, at least ordinary people and even ordinary Ceylonese apprentices are not eligible to borrow.

However, unlike other libraries, Ceylon libraries allow patrons to stay overnight.

Among the people who stayed in the library all night, there were many middle-aged uncles, and there were also many young people, and these people were basically all bearded, and the dark circles around the eyes were particularly obvious, but it was noticeable that there were hardly any people sleeping.

First-time visitors to the library in Ceylon may be surprised and ashamed that they don't have such a studious spirit, but the truth of the matter is that the Ansai golems that roam the library will wake up those who sleep in the library, and if they can't, they will throw them out, after all, the library is not a place for people to sleep.

Al walked deeper into the library.

Although he hadn't been in school for a long time, Al had been to the library several times, and he noticed that the further he went into the library, the fewer people there were, and the fewer people who were rolling around.

For those iron machines whose eyes glowed red and walked on wheels without the slightest sound, Al did not have the slightest fear or disgust, which was very different from ordinary people.

In fact, not to mention ordinary people, even many mages have all kinds of wariness and even fear of these machines.

This should be easy to understand.

The mechanical golem is a new technology that has only appeared in the last 100 years, and this technology has also been born under the rapid progress of engineering, mechanics, mathematics and magic in the last 100 years.

In certain areas, mechanical golems have great application advantages, as they are tireless and unemotional, and can faithfully carry out all orders.

But this has also become the reason why many people fear them.

Some people suspect that every act of the mechanical golem is carried out under the program calculation of its internal magic core, so if there are unexpected program errors, program malignant changes, or even malicious program intrusions in the future, will these mechanical golems regard humans as enemies?

When you think about it, this kind of thing is really possible.

However, it is obviously a bit early to worry about these things now, because for now, the mechanical golem is actually very stupid, and it can only do some of the simplest things, which is still too far from the kind of Cheng Dù who can resist humans, not to mention that the current mechanical golem is still quite rare due to the high cost of the project, and only this kind of rich mage academy or other large institutions can have it, and ordinary mages can't afford it.

Others fear mechanical golems because they are often designed to look like humans, but the more human-like they are, the more uncomfortable they become, the so-called uncanny valley effect.

Al obviously didn't feel any of these things, and he was full of curiosity and interest in this humanoid machine.

It's a pity that those golems can't feel Al's mood, and they can't run to El's feet like puppies, they patrol according to fixed lines, and faithfully carry out their tasks.

The light was getting dimmer, and it was still early in the morning.

This is because of the relationship between space spells.

Al casually removed a magic candlestick from one end of a bookshelf and carried it towards the depths of the library.

The magic candlestick emitted a bright, silent white glow, illuminating the path beneath El's feet and the bookshelves around him.

Al noticed that as he went deeper, the height of the shelves increased, and the distance between the shelves became larger and larger.

If the books on the periphery of the Ceylon Library are like a crowd of people, then the shelves inside the Ceylon Library are like trees in the forest, in order to get enough sunlight and rain, they all wisely keep their distance from each other, and also guard their own living space and territory.

It's really like that.

A thought in Al's heart grew stronger.

The interior of the library in Ceylon really resembles the primeval forest outside the logging village.

They kept their minds at a distance from each other and did not crowd together like the weeds under their feet, and each of them stretched and grew in the direction of the sky, so that when one could raise one's head, one could see no sun but only a thick canopy.

This is the forest of books.

If it is the first time to come to this kind of place, I am afraid that you will be frightened by the eerie and oppressive atmosphere here, the dim light, the empty walkway, and the bookshelves that are so high that you have to desperately look up to see the top of the bookshelf, these things add up to a living horror element.

But for Al, such an environment is like heaven.

First of all, the high bookshelves, in Al's heart, are simply mountains of gold and silver in the eyes of wealth fans, and the atmosphere around him is becoming more and more like a forest, which also reminds Al of the scene of walking with his mother in the forest outside the logging village many years ago, which is the beautiful taste of memories and nostalgia.

Al's gaze swept over the titles of each book on the shelves on either side.

There are a lot of books and shelves, but Al's eyesight has always been exceptional, and he can see everything around him clearly unless there is no light at all.

"The Tale of the Half Moon", "The Theory of Magic", "The History of the Territorial Expansion of the Empire", "Gold and Silver Coins, Teach You How to Make Money", "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", "Materialism and Marxist-Leninist Philosophy", "****** Issue 265", "The Prince of Flowers", ......

Books are cluttered, and different types of books are mixed together haphazardly, making it dazzling to read.
