Act VIII: Grandia's consternation

Great Library. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Grand Library of Christine Wong College is divided into five floors, and most of the books in it come from donations from graduates over the years, covering everything from history and politics, art and music, to magic and alchemy, songs and novels.

The Great Library also became the largest library in the country, even surpassing the Royal Library in the royal capital.

The old building looks rather rustic on the outside, with moss crawling all over the walls and a glass dome glistening in the sunlight, looking like an old museum with some deep treasure.

The afternoon sunlight pours into the room through the hazy glass of the dome, and instead of fading the books, the magic of these rays of sunlight makes the whole hall a little more ambiguous, and on the wooden tables and chairs, many students are buried in the scrolls, and you can also see a few couples biting their ears next to each other, all in all, it is still full of learning and youthful atmosphere.

Now that the magic camp has basically occupied the kingdom of Aster, the age of the mage apprentice is gradually decreasing, and the person who could only be discovered at the age of twenty or thirty and awaken to become a mage apprentice is now likely to be sent to the academy at the age of ten, so on the whole, Christine's students are still relatively younger.

As they walked through the hall and entered the library, Grantia and Lottie immediately saw a gray glow in front of their eyes.

"You two, I don't know what kind of books you want?"

The fluorescence came from the sound of urns and the words of urns, and it was impossible to distinguish age and gender.

At the same time, many of these fluorophores can be seen floating in the library, leading students through the shelves.

These are elemental beings known as Crystallizers, from the Elemental Realm's Stellar Plains, who have made a pact with the mages to serve as guides in this large library.

The food of these crystalline worms is quite peculiar, that is, the sleepiness of humans, whenever humans want to be lazy and fish, this crystallized worm will suck away the sleepiness of humans, making them a hundred times more energetic.

In the past, these elemental creatures were often used by mages as a pick-me-up item, but while they sucked away drowsiness, they didn't eliminate fatigue, so if used for long periods of time, it was easy to get exhausted, which is not a problem in large libraries, of course.

These crystallized worms can dispel the drowsiness of students who are drowsy due to the afternoon sun or a full stomach, so that they can study better, and at the same time, they also have a certain amount of intelligence, especially their strong memory, which is good enough to be a library guide.

"Well, Christine's school history, a more detailed version. ”

It's not the first time Grandia has come to the Great Library, but she's still not too used to the guidance of the crystallizer.

When they entered the school, they had received a pamphlet that briefly introduced the origin of the college, but of course they also knew that it was at most an official memorabilia of the royal family visiting the academy on a certain day to participate in such and such an event.

If you want to check the information of previous magic competitions, you have to go to the big library to find it.

"The history of the school, there are many options, and the most detailed should be the "History of Christine Royal College" written by Chad Billier, this book is a detailed account of the school since its establishment to the present, although detailed, but also amazingly divided into three hundred and five volumes, I don't think you must be looking for such a book. ”

The Crystallizer whispered, in a voice that only Grantia and Lottie could hear.

These guys seem to be quite bored on weekdays, so they browse through all the books they can read in the entire library, and at the same time share their memories, so they are very skilled as guides.

George Paramount's "The Legend of a Famous Teacher-Christine Royal Academy" describes Christine's history more from the perspective of a teacher, while Ford Warren's "Christine's Observations" tells Christine more from the perspective of an excellent graduate. ”

The crystallized worm floated slowly in the air, chattering as she guided Grantia and her way deeper into the bookshelf.

"My Years in Christine" is a memoir novel written by Green Dustin based on his experience here from student to teacher and finally to principal, which basically covers most of Christine's history. ”

"Well, we want a book about the history of the contestants in the magic competition. ”

Grandia asked, feeling that if this continued, I was afraid that the crystalloid worm might not be able to name the books they were interested in next year, and that having too much knowledge was sometimes a nuisance.

"Magic Competitions of the Ages, oh, I see, you must want to participate in this year's Magic Competition, there is an old saying in the East, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the only way to win, hey, then I know what you need. ”

The crystallized worm spun around in mid-air, and seemed to be elated, and its speed of movement also increased a lot.

"Larry Granitt's Christine: A School History, which focuses on the details of the magical competition, after all, the author himself was the winner of the year, and now one of the members of the High Council of the Rainbow Tower, although it is a bit old, uh, after all, it was fifty years ago, but it is quite a good reference. ”

Finding the topic, the crystallizer continued.

"There's also Christine Magic, a historical novel by Delenier Salazar that focuses on the magic that was born in this school, including, of course, the spells of the winners of previous magic competitions...... Ah, here it is. ”

The crystallizer stopped its flight and swayed back and forth in front of a bookshelf.

"I remember right here...... Hey, why is it gone?"

The crystallized worm swirled, but there were several books missing from the bookshelf in front of it.

"Did someone else get ahead of you?"

Grantia immediately thought of this, since she could think of checking the creativity of her predecessors, then other contestants could naturally think of it, not to mention that it was not too early, those who really wanted to participate in the competition must have already been prepared.

"You're too slow, Grantia. ”

Lottie said helplessly, but immediately, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a familiar name.

"Christine: A School History!"

She pointed to the bookshelf not far behind Grantia, a hardcover book that had been randomly stuffed in.

"Got it!"

Grantia immediately reached out to remove the book, but the next moment, her fingertips touched her other hand, causing her to retract her hand subconsciously.

However, the other party reached out again like lightning and took down the hardcover book.

On the cover, "Christine: A School History" is literally written in gilded font by Larry Granette.

Following the white, slender hand, Grantia looked up.

It was a girl who could be described as stunning.

The long golden hair seemed to emit unknown particles under the sunlight, enveloping the surrounding space, the snow-white skin could be broken by blowing, and the blue eyes were as clear as the ocean, and he was also wearing Christine's apprentice robes, but the other party seemed to have an extraordinary temperament, and he was by no means an ordinary student.

"Alyssa Trester ......"

Grantia unconsciously called out the other party's name.
