Chapter 36: The Stars
The floating city of Naradak is located in the southern part of Jialan, and from a distance it looks like an acorn, with a flat bottom and a few buildings scattered on the upper half of the plane.
The entrance is set directly underneath, and even if the crystal card given to him by Professor Dawn is presented, he is subject to identity checks. The process is complex and rigorous, and there are four ways that can distinguish the content, testing the age, ethnicity, and blood activity of the login from all angles.
The first two are easy to understand, but the third is a bit of an alternative. He guessed that it might have something to do with the necromancer, and the lifeforms that had been contaminated with soul energy for a long time were more or less sick, and the blood was not as bright as a normal person, and the composition would also change.
But neither he nor the three legendary necromancers of the Wind Firmament had this concern, for them, the soul was no different from the elementals, both were one of the powers, so they would not be affected, and the blood was full of activity.
But what Mu Yan didn't know was that the moment he arrived at the Floating City through the teleportation array, an inspection report was sent to Dawn and William, and the two of them let go of their last worries about him.
……
None of the players Mu Yan knew had ever come up to Naradak. Even the world's top fire method, such as charcoal grilled pork ribs, is not qualified. It's more like an NPC's Hall of Fame, where status must be noble enough to be eligible, and the highest seat a player gets in Jialan is a Marquis, and that's it. If you go further, you will be rejected by the top management of Jialan, which can be said to be the deep malice of the game. Therefore, this floating city is unveiled for the first time.
But when he came up, he was a little disappointed.
Except for the Xingyao Library in the center, the other buildings are very simple, and the style is generally close to Daun's ivory house, and the overall style is more natural, even less gorgeous than the famous streets of Falan City.
There are neither magic street lamps nor magic fountains, there are ginkgo trees planted on both sides of the road, and the lawn is also ordinary flowers, Mu Yan has been close to observe for a while, there are many hardy plants on the Kadra Plateau, surrounded by layers, the closer to the Xingyao Library, the more tenacious the vitality is.
For example, frost grass grows at the foot of the Hogarth Peak, with roots stretching for several meters under the permafrost and up to 10 centimeters on the surface. However, standing in front of Mu Yan, this plant was at least more than half a meter tall, with wide and fat leaves, and the blue veins on it were clearly visible.
After thinking about it, Mu Yan could only say that all this boiled down to the word "foil".
Against the backdrop of this group of low-rise buildings, the Star Library looks extraordinarily grand.
It was like a sharp sword that went straight into the sky, the core of the sword was hollowed out, and it was filled with bands formed by magic dust, spiraling upward, as if connected to a magic net tens of thousands of meters in the air.
Stepping into the library with a pilgrimage-like mood, Mu Yan's eyes couldn't help but light up.
Isn't this caretaker who was napping next to him the one who showed him the way that day!
"Tuk Tuk"
Mu Yan knocked on the table.
"I'm sorry!"
The administrator woke up and wiped his saliva in a hurry, but after seeing that it was Mu Yan, his expression was more exciting.
At first it was incredulous, as if it was about to ask, "Why can a person like you come up to Naradak", and then it seemed that something had been made up in his head, and he became disdainful and disdainful, but he was still very restrained.
"Is there anything we can do for you?"
Although his words were greetings, his tone was like saying, "I don't want to see you at all, get out."
Mu Yan smiled: "Introduce this library to me, sir." ”
If Jialan's administrator was the same as Morningstar, then Mu Yan's responsibilities to him couldn't be clearer. After all, he has invested nearly 3 years of real time in this industry, and the game time has been up to 10 years, and he is even more proficient than the status of "scholar".
Unlike the other Salted Fish Administrators, the guy sitting at the doorway has the highest commission and also enjoys an additional skill proficiency bonus. But equally, he also has a few more jobs than other salted fish, such as junior security, vigilance, and "tour guide" work that requires "eloquence" as a support.
Mu Yan had never sat at the entrance, because security needed to fight, and he didn't have any combat power.
……
"Hmph......" The Administrator's face became even more ugly, and he stiffened his neck and said, "I'm sorry, I don't have this obligation. ”
"You lied, man." Mu Yan smiled: "'Maintain order and take visitors around' is the duty of the administrator, unless you give up this job now." ”
"Then I'll give up!" The other party said angrily and reached out to pick the sign on his chest.
"Oh? But if you give up your job and you're just a student, then I can command you to do that as a teaching assistant. Mu Yan winked at him, "You can choose any one." ”
"You ......"
The two were about to fall into an argument, when a voice suddenly came from the side, like a flowing clear spring, which instantly extinguished the fire.
"Mr. Mu Yan?" Lina was surprised, "I didn't expect to meet you here. ”
Mu Yan responded with a smile, but he didn't answer, but said to the administrator: "If you refuse, I will walk around with Miss Lina in the next second." ”
If the eyes are spells, the anger in this kid's eyes is probably forbidden spells.
Lina discovers that there may be a story between the two, so she approaches with some surprise.
"You ...... this"
The administrator rushed before Mu Yan opened his mouth and said, "I'm going to take this gentleman around the library, I may not be able to serve you for a while, I'm sorry." ”
"Hmm...... It's nothing, I'll just walk around on my own. Lina shrugged, "Then we'll talk when you're free, Mr. Mu Yan." ”
"We'll talk when we have time."
Seeing her go away, Mu Yan turned around and found that the kid was looking at her stupidly.
"She's so charming......" he muttered.
"Hey."
Mu Yan waved his hand in front of his face.
"What's your name?"
"Hmph...... Derritch. ”
"Then Mr. Dridge, show me around."
Ten thousand were unhappy, but he did it.
……
As soon as he entered the working state, Dridge was still very steady, which made Mu Yan look at him with admiration.
"There are a lot of books in the Xingyao Library, and here is the mage area, from the left-hand side to the front, there are elementalists, arcanists, and spellcasters below the fifth ring to read," Dridge glanced back at him, as if estimating Mu Yan's strength.
"Go on." Mu Yan pointed to his left front. "Whose work is that piece?"
"You mean the author?"
"Of course, can the books in the Star Library still be transcriptions?"
"You know that, too?" Dridge couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Although he has been the administrator for more than two years, he only learned about the fact that "the books in the Xingyao Library are all original works with alteration marks and footnotes" half a year ago, and even the big people who come here often don't know it......
What's the origin of this guy in front of you?
Mu Yan couldn't help but be slightly stunned, "You're not from the magic department?" ”
"I ...... I'm from the swordsmanship department, wait, how do you know? You investigated me privately?? ”
"Do you have persecution paranoia?" Mu Yan smiled and said, "But I also probably understand, because you are not a mage, you can only get this job, otherwise the magic deterrence left in these books alone is enough to make you unable to progress for the rest of your life." ”
"Magical deterrence? What is that? ”
Mu Yan didn't answer, he took one casually, the outside of the book was plated with a layer of half-centimeter-thick enchantment, like transparent plastic, but it was more flexible than them.
"Want to know? Then let me tell you slowly......" Mu Yan lowered his voice and said slowly.
Dridge held his breath nervously.
