Chapter 17: The Dragon Whisperer
Speaking of Daintrian's bookshelf, perhaps, it reminds people of that existence similar to Intix.
When human civilization reaches a certain level, it will inevitably begin to make everything intelligent and anthropomorphic.
Thus, the artificial man came into being.
Of course, androids will show different differences in appearance, abilities, and personalities depending on their functions.
And the library in human form, the living library, is one of them.
He has a collection of tens of millions of books in the form of a human being, and knows all the common sense of heaven and earth, and even the most profound scholar cannot compare with one ten-thousandth of his knowledge.
This is Daintrian's bookshelf, the Garden of Eden, which is also the most famous and largest library in the Atrium civilization.
Knowing all that has existed in the light since the beginning of Harmony, and the story that, in part, has been hidden in the darkness.
Kazama stared blankly at the legendary library in front of him, which was clearly presented through the transparent staircase.
It's like a tower of heaven, spiraling upwards, bookshelves.
There is no end in sight, and there is no beginning in sight.
There is no beginning and no end.
Although it is a library, it is said that Daintrian's bookshelves are rarely open to the public, and you can only enter them by special application.
I didn't expect that I would enter here in such a situation...... The corners of Kazama's mouth hooked up a complicated smile.
"Daintriam's Bookshelves ......"
Muttering to himself, Kazama Hiroha unconsciously looked at Sakurashira, the girl who looked a little ethereal and ethereal.
It is said that Daintrian is the name of the founder of this library, and it is also the bloodline that every librarian must haveβthat one from a powerful bloodline from ancient times that is older than the age of the gods.
"Yes, as you can imagine, I have in my veins the blood of that ancestor I don't know what to call it, Datrian."
As if seeing everything, Sakurabai smiled slightly, and then, with his hands behind his back, he gently leaned down and pressed the tip of his nose against the tip of Kazama's nose.
The eyes that were not in focus looked straight at the silver pupils.
"But, please don't look at me with such envious eyes, although it is true that I have inherited it as a rare key in the world, but at the same time, I have inherited the curse that follows me like a shadow."
Unconsciously, he took a step back, and as soon as his feet were empty, Kazama almost rolled down the stairs.
"If I had a choice, I would prefer to live as an ordinary girl."
That's a kind of luxury...... Yes, not even a wish, a dream that was unattainable from the very beginning.
The moment Kazama raised his head, he read such a feeling in the other party's eyes.
You probably don't need words to communicate with her.
Because a girl can tell you everything she wants to tell with her eyes, and she can also easily read everything about you.
"I was surprised to understand that I discovered my secret so quickly. In that case, this mission may be unexpectedly interesting~"
Abrupt words, but Kazama can understand.
Even the girl, Sakurahaku, had already turned around and began to walk towards the sky step by step.
Yes, the sky.
Because it is transparent, the staircase does not block Kazama's view.
On the other hand, if you look at it from this angle, you can unexpectedly see scenery that you would never have imagined.
Under the white dress, there is a existence called the Absolute Realm, which is slowly released.
Like a beast, ready to move.
It's like a succubus, seducing the soul.
The Adam's apple rolled down vigorously, and then, bowing his head.
It's not because of Kazama Yangyu's side.,With a sharp gaze.,It's not because I'm paralyzed by the more stimulating daily life of Konobi.,It's because it's because I've grown up.γ
Although he is still a teenager with youthful dreams, Kazama Yangha unexpectedly brought moral etiquette or something into this dream.
What is not allowed, what is not affirmed, is avoided as a matter of course.
Kazama lifted his foot slightly, and quickly followed.
"As a girl, should I be glad that I haven't been spied on in a vacuum, or should I be sad that I don't have enough attraction?"
A melodious voice like a silver bell came from the front, and Sakurahiro didn't look back, but Kazama could imagine her cunning hidden under indifference.
However, the point, it seems, is not here!
"Really...... Really, really, vacuum?! β
Although he had already tried very hard to control it, Kazama couldn't help but tremble the two words into pieces.
Thousands of delusions, with a strong sense of betrayal, began to churn in Kazama's mind.
As an upright adolescent teenager, there is perhaps nothing more cruel than this kind of thing that can only be compensated for with delusions after missing the opportunity.
In front of him, there was the sound of a happy laugh that had succeeded in its mischief.
Like a magic barrier, he guided Kazama Shoha to walk up step by step.
The transparent staircase seems endless.
Although I realized it from the moment I first looked up, sure enough, the truth is always heavier than what I see with my eyes.
It's so heavy that it's enough to crush Kazama Yangyu's youthful delusions.
I said...... Aren't there elevators or flying machines or anything like that? β
Dragging his body listlessly, Kazama asked, tilting his head.
"If you just want to get to the top quickly, it's easy......"
After a slight pause, Sakura Bai turned her head with a smile, and then, casually pulled out a thick book from the bookshelf next to her, and slowly flipped through it.
"But for those of you who have finally come here, you thought that you would happily stack a large pile of books from the bookshelves and gnaw on them with relish, so you specially created such an opportunity."
Mistake!
I have always been blessed with a strong curiosity and endless desire for knowledge about the world, but I would make a mistake at such a critical moment...... Is it because of those damn delusions...... If you think about it like this, what a terrible existence is the girl who makes herself lose her nature by tightly splicing this sentence?!
Raising his head suddenly, Kazama's eyes suddenly emitted a little green light, like a gray wolf that had been hungry for several days, and he jumped on the bookshelf to the side.
Then he quickly stacked down a few copies, biting, clamping, and holding them, shouting "slow down, slow down", while greedily nibbling on them.
Even the black-clothed girl beside him was driven by him, and began to pick out some books and slowly flip through them.
The painful times seem endless, and the happy times are as short as the morning dew under the morning sun.
The origin of the primordial world, the legends of the ancient races, the secrets of legendary characters, the gorgeous and splendid magic, the wonderful fighting skills, the breathtaking equipment, the magnificent epics, the incredible strategies, and even the strange forbidden arts...... Everything made Kazama Hiroha deeply trapped in it, and it was difficult to extricate himself.
When Kazama's mouth, jaw, armpits, hands, and even the top of his head were stuffed, sandwiched, and piled with a large pile of books, and he was moving step by step like acrobatics to reach a platform, the girl in front of him finally stopped.
But Kazama didn't notice it, still staring intently at the old books that he was flipping through with one hand.
Until, hit something hard.
"Boom la la ......"
Thick books, in an instant, fell all over the ground.
Scattered messily, sitting on the ground around Kazama Rising and Sakuraku.
"That...... Yes......"
Suddenly coming back to his senses, Kazama's face couldn't help but show a trace of embarrassment.
"Shhhh
Gentle, tactile, with a hint of fragrance, comes from the lips.
People can't help it, just like this to suck in.
Kazama looked blankly at the green fingers in front of him, and suddenly fell silent.
Then, in the silence, a strange sound slowly passed through.
"Whoa!"
"Whoa, whoa!"
"Bang blah!"
The strange sound, closer and closer, clearer and clearer, and then, finally, turned into a substantial shadow, slowly enveloping it.
Kazama looked up sharply.
Book.
Countless books.
Old, heavy, books, like birds, spread their wings and hover in the sky.
It made that "boom-la-la-la" sound, like a dark cloud, covering almost the entire sky.
Then, chasing and colliding with each other, they were like warriors, without swords or shields, but attacking each other in their own flesh and blood, in this most primitive state.
The books, which were clearly divided into two camps, were fighting each other, fighting, and attacking.
It's like two armies with different faiths, for their own monarchs, for their own beliefs, fearlessly sprinting towards the enemy, fighting and fighting.
Until, it was smashed to pieces, dying, and then fell headlong towards the spiral tower-like bookshelf below.
"It's ......"
"A battle of fate."
Sakura Bai raised her head and looked fondly at the books hovering in the sky, constantly attacking each other.
"In order to decide whether to surrender to the other party, or to thoroughly implement your beliefs and wait for the return of the king."
"Uh......"
Something trembled slightly around his waist.
"But it does seem that there is something wrong with one side......"
Although it is not at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, one of the sides is obviously listless, and the rhythm of the attack is also chaotic and disorganized, which is completely different from the opponent's sense of attacking and defending properly and advancing and retreating in an orderly manner.
"Because, their king, is wounded."
Tilting his head and getting up slowly, Sakura Bai still said lightly.
"That's why I'm calling you."
I feel more and more confused, what am I doing here......
Hiroshi Kazama pursed his lips helplessly.
That is to say...... I was chosen to be their king and to direct them into battle? β
It's weird, but it feels like it's a pretty good task.
"Puff~"
A chuckle with a silver bell-like timbre.
"I didn't expect Yang Yu to have a good sense of humor, to be the king of a group of books...... Even I don't have the confidence to be recognized as a companion by them~"
ββ¦β¦β
Isn't that such a glorious task......
"Okay, I see."
With a little regret, Kazama swayed and got up from the ground.
"In that case, I should have been summoned to be the Imperial Physician, to heal the so-called king, and then to make the two armies evenly matched...... This time, it's always right, right? β
Suddenly, his waist trembled more violently.
"Uh-huh, that's right! It's just this treatment, but it's a bit special~"
The so-called special ...... It won't be ......
"Well, well, let's hear me tell me the story of the two books first."
Is it time to start an epic story?
Kazama Yangyu nodded slightly, the story or something, I like it the most.
But what's going on with this guy who keeps tossing around his waist?
Lowering his head slightly, he slapped the quaint book that had been tied around his waist.
So, as if his request was granted, the chain that was originally tightly bound loosened slightly.
A ray of light suddenly burst out from Kazama's waist and spread out in an instant, piercing straight into the sky, straight into the middle of the two armies.
The heavy coercion, in an instant, spread, like a mountain and a sea, devastating the withering ground, and opening the books of the two sides that were in a melee.
Wherever the light goes, the clouds open and the moon glows.
In the dark and oppressive sky, there was only one pillar of light, and just like that, quietly, the pestle was in between.
Revealing an old, heavy book.
Like a king, reigning over the world.
The eyes, which seemed to be forever in focus, suddenly shrank, and in an instant, they froze on the old and heavy book.
"Forbidden Canon - Dragon Whisperer?!"
