Act XXXIV. Library of Alexandria

Library of Alexandria.

It is said to have a collection of tens of millions of books, as well as many more electronic materials, from the old times to the aftermath of the Great Collapse.

The entire library is more of a city than a building.

The most striking is the white tower of the Library of Alexandria, which can be seen from a distance, the whole tower is snow-white, and the round tower is flawless, like the straightest sword, standing on the west side of Alexandria, where there are many relatively low buildings.

With the White Tower as the center, the towers are staggered, but the shape of these towers is completely different.

There are traditional square obelisks, stout round towers, spiral twists with a postmodern aesthetic, and even tentacles that are indescribable, making people feel like falling into the abyss at a glance.

These towers are said to have been built by well-known scholars who had earned the title of "Scholar" in the city, which was not an ordinary degree, but a title that could only be conferred on scholars recognized by the Pan-Western Sea Academy of Natural Sciences.

And the tallest white tower is the first tower left by the ascendant who attacked Alexander the Great.

To date, there have been thirteen scholars in the city, including the one who took the name Alexander the Great, rebuilt the Library of Alexandria, the one who created the Palace of the Muses, the one who took the name Paracelsus, who created the Philosopher's Stone and the Alchemy Dolls, and now the director of the Library of Alexandria, Aluphi Charhat.

If a scholar dies, the towers he leaves behind are open to the public, and at present, six of the thirteen towers in the city are open, while the remaining seven belong to different scholars.

They are the top heads of the Pan-Western Sea Academy of Natural Sciences, and they are also the seven giants of Pan-Western Sea academics, they give themselves the title of "Fools", and the motto of Pan-Western Sea Natural Science is "the more knowledge, the more unknown", even if they have become the top academics, these scholars still think that they are ignorant like children, and they are still diligently exploring the unknown field.

Bypassing the crowd of many group photos, Bai Ge came to the gate of the library.

"According to Halleyson's information, there should be a large number of guards at the entrance of the library, and ordinary people can't force their way in, and Halleyson suggested that the owner go to the application center next to it to register first."

Halleyson explained in a flat tone.

Bai Ge looked at the door, it was extremely deserted, there were four guards standing at the door, but ......

"Why a maid?"

Yes, standing at the door of the Library of Alexandria, guarding this legendary building, are four maids dressed in black and white maid costumes.

These four maids looked almost identical, all with blonde hair and green eyes, just like quadruplets, and Bai Ge could barely distinguish the difference between the four by using [Assassin Vision] and [Thousand Faces] to identify them.

Moreover, these are all alchemy dolls.

The ruffled cuffs with lace in front of them reveal spherical joints, these alchemy dolls are obviously much more advanced than Halleyson's, and Bai Ge feels that they are probably similar to the bodies used by the love arms, and they have extremely dangerous weapons hidden under their skirts.

"Guarding the Library of Alexandria is a AAD0096 tactical humanoid produced by the Alexandria Foundation, which was designed and developed by the director of the Library of Alexandria, Olufi Shahat, under the premise of lightness, a single person has the firepower equivalent to a special tactical team, if the owner has needs, you can go to the nearest store to buy, the suggested retail price is ......"

"No, forget it."

An alchemy doll that pulls out a cannon barrel from under her skirt, and only one is enough to fall in love.

Bai Ge is not a spherical joint lover after all.

"Although Helletson is fortunate in the early days, if you change your body and carry a new module, you can quickly master the use of various weapons, so please don't worry, master."

Halleyson didn't give up, this alchemy puppet seemed to be really looking for all kinds of gaps to sell Bai Ge's new body.

Is this the basic premise?

Or is it a bug caused by years of use?

Bai Ge glanced at the motionless maids again, and he didn't know whose bad taste it was, so he walked directly into the application center next door.

There are obviously a lot more people here, Bai Ge looked at it, and the application center was divided into three areas, one was the student application area, one was the tourist application area, and the other was the application area for academic exchanges.

It is said that according to the results of the academic test every month, you can also be assigned different permissions, which can borrow more and more specialized books, as well as obtain more resources in the library.

It is extremely difficult for visitors to apply, no more than 100 visitors can enter the library every day, and it is not based on the number of people, if the number of visitors who apply on the day does not meet the standard, then it may be difficult for a single application to be approved.

The application area for academic exchange applicants is relatively relaxed, but most of these scholars have made a pre-application through the school in advance, and only come after the two sides have passed, and they have the endorsement of the school and research institution, which is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.

"Helleson has a sample application form in his database that can be filled out by the owner."

Halleyson looked at the application on the white singer and took the initiative to say.

"That's a lot of work."

Bai Ge handed the application to Halleyson, and saw the alchemy puppet pick up the pen, fill it out with a brush, and return it to Bai Ge.

"Some personal information about the owner was not filled in because Halleyson did not know about it."

She said.

Bai Ge finished the information of Yassen Hercule by himself, and was about to take the application to line up.

"Halleyson can line up instead of the owner."

The blonde-haired alchemy puppet took the initiative to say again.

"You don't have to, just sit here and wait."

Bai Ge asked Halleyson to sit honestly on the waiting bench in the back, and went to line up by himself, and after about fifteen minutes, he submitted the application to the alchemy doll in a black and white maid costume in charge of reception, and after a brief inquiry, he returned from the counter.

"Let's go ......"

Before Bai Ge finished speaking, he saw a man in a casual coat touching him.

"Sir, do you need to enter the library?"

He asked a little mysteriously, and without waiting for Bai Ge to speak, he continued to whisper.

"I'm a student of the school, and I'm eligible to enter the library, and if you're willing to pay, I can lend you my voucher for five hundred pounds a day."

“?”

Is this half a scalper?

Students lend their vouchers to make extra money?

Bai Ge was not moved, on the one hand, he was not really going to travel and take pictures in the library, but wanted to study here for a long time, and it was unreliable to rely on this kind of crooked and evil way.

On the other hand, he did not have five hundred pounds in his pocket now.

"I only need three hundred here."

Another girl came over, and even lowered her head slightly in order to attract Bai Ge's attention, revealing the snow white between her necklines.

“...... I actually ......"

Bai Ge really wanted to refuse them, but he saw a man in a suit with a serious expression and walked quickly.

"Go away, you liars!"

As he spoke, he also summoned two alchemy dolls dressed as maids to try to drive them away.

The two students fled, almost being stopped by the alchemy puppet at the door.

"I'm sorry, these students are actually liars, the Library of Alexandria doesn't rely on credentials to get in, you have to verify your identity information, they take advantage of the tourists' ignorance of the specific situation to cheat, if you believe them, you can only get a useless card."

The man patiently explained to Bai Ge.

"Thank you."

Bai Ge thanked him briefly, and heard the other party speak again.

"I'm Bell Nolan, the director of the Application Center, and I'm also a staff member at the Library of Alexandria."

"I'm Arsene Hercule."

Bai Ge introduced himself, and saw the other party's eyes widen, and he seemed quite surprised.

"You...... You're Mr. Arsin Hercule, the detective? ”

Director Bell unconsciously changed to a more respectful title.

"You know me?"

Bai Ge was still wondering if he was already so famous, when he heard Bell speak.

"Actually, I'm friends with Sheriff Victor Dodge of the police department, and he told us today that you solved a case just by asking, and we were quite surprised."

Bell said, pulling out a palm-sized notebook and a pen from his pocket.

"Mr. Hercule, if you may, can you sign for me?"

He was so excited that he casually flipped through his notebook.

"There's a lot of signatures on it from the celebrities who have visited here, you see, it's Miss Colua's, it's Mr. Grank of the Sandtooth Foundation, it's the Great Detective of the Holy Alliance......"

Bell seems to be proud of it.

Bai Ge casually signed his name for him and asked again.

"I don't know when I will get a result on my application?"

“...... Well, I don't know about that, Mr. Hercule, but based on the stories I've heard from Victor, I think there's a good chance you'll be rejected. ”

"Refuse?"

Bai Ge tilted his head.

Isn't it the plot at this time that the Library of Alexandria learned about the experience of Arsene Hercule, coupled with the identity of the MI5 informant, and directly opened a fast track for him, and got the voucher on the spot, which made the people around him who were struggling in line very envious?

This script seems a little wrong.

"That's right, because based on your experience, not only did the [Orient Express] on which you were traveling suffer a natural disaster, but also the passenger ship you were on also had a murder incident, so the application center may list you as a dangerous person, ah, this is not to say that you will cause danger to the library, but because similar incidents often occur around you, so the review will be extremely strict, I hope you can understand, of course, from my personal point of view, I think you can enter the library completely."

Bell explained as gently as he could.

Does it mean that they think Arsene Hercule is the physique that attracts events, so they will refuse to let him in in order to avoid his possible broom star behavior?

"I see."

Bai Ge secretly twitched the corners of his mouth, said goodbye to the director, and came to Halleyson's side.

"Halleyson judged that the owner's application had encountered a problem, and based on the conclusion reached by Halleyson's database, Halleyson believes that the owner's application may not be approved."

This alchemy doll with supple blond hair and deep purple eyes made up for it with precision.

“...... Thanks for the reminder. ”

Bai Ge tapped his cane.
