Chapter 9: Ancient Skill Scroll
Chapter 9: Ancient Skill Scroll
The Blue Tower has a spacious staircase specially built for low-level wizards who have not mastered spatial spells such as arbitrary doors, and the white marble is solid and beautiful, starting from the hall on the ground floor, spiraling up to the fifth floor, and then terminating, because walking above the fifth floor requires high-level permissions that only silver-level wizards can have, and the fourth ring can master teleportation spells, so the places above the fifth floor are reached by teleportation spells. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
These were all things that Bowen told Sim along the way, and they slowly climbed the stairs, and Sim only realized after walking for ten minutes that the hall had expanded due to the solidification of the wide-area space spell, so of course the distance between the buildings would also expand.
He glanced at the second floor where he felt he was about to arrive, and couldn't help but think of the old saying "looking at the mountain and running a dead horse", his face was bitter, and Bowen was still enthusiastic to popularize all kinds of knowledge to this "Feiqi" with outstanding mental power
"When you become an apprentice, you also have level 1 permissions, you can move freely on the first floor, don't think that there is only a hall on the first floor, and there are many other facilities, such as a meditation room that increases your meditation efficiency, and a laboratory and alchemy room for your experiments or research, but well, these places cost money to use, wizarding is a profession that consumes a lot of money, by the way, if you are short of money, I can introduce you to a few jobs."
At this, Bowen suddenly turned around, and with a serious face, he was so frightened that Sim thought that he had found out that he was ready to take him down with a punch, and then snatched the skill scroll and ran.
"Well, I think about it, I remember a few minor nobles in the aristocratic quarter who were recruiting teachers, and the Rolmann German Library also seemed to be accepting managers......"
Bowen didn't care about Sim's personal opinion, he was thinking about which jobs were better paid, and while he was talking, the two finally reached the end of the stairs.
Sim followed behind Bowen, his eyes flickering, the Azure Tower was heavily guarded against outsiders, and this was created by accidentally obtaining the awakening potion provided by Boglie, and there was only one chance.
"Ferry, this is the library, although it is located on the second floor, it is a very important place, you wait here."
The two of them continued along the hallway, and Bowen stopped Chim at a corner, and walked straight ahead, where the hallway led to a heavy door covered with intricate patterns, and there were enough triggering circles that Chim could recognize, and 8 types of chain circles, and even more that he could not recognize.
Of course, the two things that scared him the most were the two things that stood in front of the door, which were two ordinary-looking statues, made of brown rock, carved into the image of a beast with wings on its back, long ears, and sharp claws.
Rock fossils like ghosts!
This is a war weapon created by wizards using alchemy, each gargoyle has the same strength as a bronze rank warrior, they are indestructible and obey orders, and also have extremely high spell resistance, although they only have the power of the copper rank, but the general silver rank cannot easily solve them.
However, the cost of gargoyles is correspondingly very expensive, even with the financial resources of the wizarding association supported by the Council of the Rings, it can only maintain the gargoyle army of three legions, if the wizards continue to build gargoyles, they would have firmly grasped the air supremacy of the entire Anrendale continent.
As for the two gargoyles in front of Sim, they are elite units that have mutated by unknown means, which is equivalent to the silver rank.
Bowen walked towards the two gargoyles, and the gargoyles, who had been motionless like statues, immediately moved when he entered the range of three meters, they slowly stood up from their original squatting position, their two pairs of eyes emitted red light, stopped in front of Bowen and glanced at it, as if they were identifying their identities, and then squatted back after making sure that it was correct, but their eyes still glowed red.
"Alright, Ferret, come here."
Watching Sim walk over and keep looking at the two gargoyles, Bowen laughed
"This is an alchemy half-creature unique to the association, gargoyles, don't look at them like this, if you really talk about it, even if it's two, I'm not enough for them to fight."
Sim praised the power of the guild while secretly observing the surroundings, the library was equipped with a magic circle to repel dust and moisture, but in order to allow people to stay inside and look through the materials, there were four large windows through which the magic crystals that surrounded the Azure Tower could be seen.
It is said to be a library, but it occupies an area the size of an entire house, and it can be said to be a small library, Bowen stopped and said to Sim
"Okay Ferret, you can now choose 2 one-ring spells and 8 zero-ring spells here as a reward for becoming a wizard's apprentice, although you haven't learned one-ring spells yet, but by analyzing them, you will be more likely to appreciate the difference between a formal wizard and an apprentice, which will help you take the next step on the path of wizarding."
He pointed to a row of bookshelves near the north wall, and his fingers crossed the arc before stopping at the bookshelf on Sim's left
"From those to here, there are 24 kinds of zero-ring spells and 8 kinds of one-ring spells, as for the more advanced spell books"
He laughed and shook his head, as if he didn't think he needed to tell him this with his talent
"Let's wait until you become an official wizard, and when you choose it, I will reproduce that spell into a one-time scroll and hand it to you, hehe, you don't have to look at me, except for the other spells that the association rewards you, you have to collect money, how can you put all the knowledge here for you to see, and you can flip through the other books casually, they are all notes left by some junior wizards, and they are also very valuable."
After saying this, Bowen paused with his staff, and the green lit up from the crystal on the top of his staff, and soon covered it
The entire crystal ball turned into a thorny vine and stretched out in front of Chim
"You prick your fingers, I need a drop of your blood to make an apprenticeship certificate that is unique to you."
Chim nodded, and gently pricked his finger on the thorn, a drop of blood hung on the thorn, using blood to identify is a common method used by Anrendale to prevent hostile organizations from infiltrating into it, as long as it is a medium-sized or above organization, it will do so, but because there are too many ways to break it accordingly, more effective secrecy methods such as soul authentication will be used among middle and high-level members, but for a mere wizard apprentice, it is naturally enough to use blood.
"You pick a spell, I'll be able to do it for you soon."
Bowen took one of the apprentice's robes, which had been made and hung on the side of the door to the library, spread it flat on the table next to him, and began to work with his back to him.
Chim glanced at the two rock fossiloid ghosts crouching in the doorway, their eyes glowing, and began to look for books in front of the bookshelf with pretended to be interested, while he mentally tried to remember the complaint he had seen at the beginning.
"I was so witty, I was about to stuff the scroll into my bag, but I was told that I couldn't take the Wizards' Guild's library without permission, and the wizard apprentice I certified him was leaning over to me, and he was going to be caught when he saw me, so I was quick to lift my robe and don't get it in my crotch."
No, no, it's not this, Chim shook his head, where did that guy find out then?
"In the library, I had already prepared the apprentice's clothes, but the guy was grinding, and I remembered that there seemed to be a biographical novel to read in the library, and I was just about to take out the legendary adventure that seemed to be called Doxilie, anyway, a novel that was vulgar from its name to its content."
"When I took it out, I happened to knock down a book next to me, and then a piece of paper fell out of it, and when I opened it, it turned out to be a scroll of ancient skills! It's an aura skill called the Scarlet Territory.,I'm not a wizard.,But take it out and sell my promotion ceremony.。 ”
Sim's fingers followed his eyes as he quickly read it, and his position was reversed from that of the original wizard, who was the examiner of the apprentice, and of course the apprentice would not pay attention to him, and he was an apprentice, and once Bowen was finished, it would be too difficult for him to take the scroll under his nose.
"Biography Biography ......"
A cold sweat appeared on Chim's forehead, he had already flipped through four or five bookshelves, and he had found nothing of Doxiri's Legendary Adventures, and Bowen had already made the apprentice badge and put it aside, making his apprentice robes.
There were two more bookshelves, and Sim felt as if there was a fire burning in his heart now, and his eyes wandered among the dense books, "Avery Fireball Technique", "Thoughts on the Mage's Hand Pre-Spell", "Barrett Teaches You How to Use the Sludge Monster", "The Correct Way to Open the Bichiel Vibration Technique", no, no, these are not these
It was Dosseri, Dosily, Chim couldn't feel the passage of time at all, he walked from one end of the room to the other, his eyes blank, until he stopped, finally!
Finished reading?!
Chim came back to his senses at this time, although he was dizzy when he read it, but the physical fitness that reached the white level would not lie to him, he had indeed read every book, but there was no such thing as Xili's legendary adventure at all!!
That landlord lied to him? No, no, there was indeed this thing at the time, and it also caused a craze for players to rummage through the aristocratic library, Sim's brows tightened, and then his eyes drifted to Bowen, who was in the process of improvised refining, and it was impossible that he took Bowen and just came in like himself, unless he had early... Wait, something flashed through Chim's mind
"Just came in...... Do you say ......"
Could it be...... Haven't put it in yet?!
The more Sim thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, and in order to test this idea, he casually pulled a copy of "Three Minutes to Reacquaint You with the Activated Rope" from the bookshelf, and then said to Bowen
"Mr. Bowen."
Luckily, Bowen didn't cast a silence spell on his side this time, and he stopped what he was doing and looked at Chim
"What's Ferry?"
Sim raised the book in his hand and walked towards him from the shelf
"I want to ask you, didn't you say that this library on the second floor is for low-level mages, is it true that low-level mages read these books? I mean, what if you're done? ”
Hearing Sim's question, Bowen couldn't help but laugh
"Ferry, these books are not those documents on the table of the nobles, even if you read them after reading them twice, any of them are worthy of your serious study for a long time."
Only then did Bowen begin to formally answer Chim's question
"But you don't have to worry about people running out of books to read"
Saying this, he couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth again
"The books in the library, except for those specially reproduced by Archmage Ulysses when the association was established in the Azure Tower, the rest are all the books that all the wizards of the Azure Tower have put in their own gotten, and they have been increasing."
And so it was! Chim got the conclusion, but couldn't help but sigh, since the biography didn't come in, maybe the book next to it might not have been put in, Chim felt a little irritated, then everything he did was meaningless, and it took so long, he looked up at the window, the two moons had already risen very high-
"Ah, speaking of which, Valletta seems to have asked me to find a time to put his books in the library."
Just as Chim was lost, Bowen was just about to settle the last bit of work on the apprentice's robe, when he suddenly tapped his head, then took out the space bag around his waist, and took out a thick book that felt vulgar just by looking at the graffiti of a long-haired female knight and two monsters on the cover.
Sim was dumbfounded and looked at the line of words on it: "Starter!" A female knight with both beauty and wisdom! Dosiri's Legendary Adventure! ”
Bowen walked over to the bookshelf against the wall, slipped the book into the third row, and turned back—nearly bumping into Chim, whose face was serious and curious
"Mr. Bowen, what is this book?"
Bowen looked at him in surprise, Ferrey seemed to be at the table just now... How did you run so far all at once? He looked at the delicate face in Sim, he saw it himself, Fei Lei is a white-level wizard and not a white-level knight, how can he run so far at once
"Oh, this is a book written by a friend of mine herself, and you're interested?"
Bowen smiled, looked at Chim's longing gaze and reached out to take it for him, Chim was suddenly anxious, his current position was to maintain a "wizard's polite distance" from Bowen, so he happened to stand next to the bookshelf, Bowen put the book where he couldn't see it at all, and the abrupt forward seemed too strange, he had to take a step back
"No, I'm just curious."
Bowen nodded, and shoved back the book he had pulled out
"Oh, I see."
Chim moved out of the way and let Bowen return to the table, while he pretended to look through the other books, and gradually approached where Bowen had just stood, the third column, the third column, and Chim nervously searched for the first "Premiere! A female knight with both beauty and wisdom! Dosiri's Legendary Adventure! 》
Over here!
"Ah, by the way, Ferry, this is your thing, and what spell did you choose?"
At the same time, Bowen also came over with his robe, and Sim wanted to punch the chattering, troublesome fellow, but he still coped with it
"Ah, thank you so much, I chose the fireball spell and the ......... spell"
What to do, Chim reached for the book next to the legendary adventure of Dosilie, groping for it
"Fireball and what?"
His fingers touched a different touch than the book, and Sim's heart shook, this was it, he quickly clenched and pulled it out, and Bowen walked very close to him, and was about to turn the bookshelf - Sim was ruthless, and made the same action as the wizard player in the game.
He lifted his robe and tucked what he was holding into his pants
"It's fireball and tenacity, sir."
Then he took the robe handed by Bowen as if it were normal, and paid attention to his walking posture so that the contents of his pants would not fall out
"It's getting late, please hurry up and help me reproduce it, my family is still waiting for my good news."
Bowen nodded understandingly, and led Chim to the table next to the wall where the robes were hung, and then opened the drawer and took out two scrolls from inside.
At this point, Chim suddenly had a question.
