Chapter 32: The Great Library of Demons
"What's wrong with you?" Anne was suspended in mid-air, biting her fingers, tilting her head, looking at Locke with an innocent expression and asking.
"Ahem! Cough...... Uh......"
Locke choked and coughed, wiped the corners of his mouth, hurriedly took the bath towel above his head to wrap his lower body, and asked, "Annie, can you wear a dress?" ”
That's the pace of three years......
The little one looked down at his toddler's body and replied, "Isn't it impossible to wear clothes when you take a bath?" ”
Yes, this common sense needs a three-year-old child to remind me?
Locke smiled bitterly and wiped the splash on his face, shook his head, looked at her and said, "Hmm...... Can you find a few stretchy hides from the supplies you have and make a temporary garment? ”
"Okay, what are you going to do?"
"Come, I'll teach you." Locke breathed a sigh of relief and stood up with a thud, and under his dedicated guidance, a toddler's animal skin swimsuit was completed.
Seeing the little guy wearing a small swimsuit made of patterned snakeskin, stepping on a small plank and surfing back and forth happily in the water, Locke continued to soak in the bath with confidence.
Do you need to remind her that you can't do this in the bathhouse? Forget it, whatever.
What Locke didn't know was that when the castle grew in size and especially when the number of women gradually increased, Anne always peddled a philosophy to them: if you want to play in the water when you take a bath, you must wear a patterned swimsuit, which Wang himself taught!
This information only came to know much later, when Locke had nothing to do and looked through the fairy diary, and when he saw it, he wanted to find a hole in the ground, so that he never dared to be in front of the children again.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, after breakfast, Locke walked straight to the library.
Although he decided to make a terrifying graveyard that could produce ghouls today, before that, Locke suddenly realized a problem: it was not a solution to let ghouls and crocodiles eat corpses all the time, where did so many people make them miserable.
The demonic rations inside the castle must be changed! That's right! Practice self-sufficiency and raise some livestock to replace human carcasses.
As for what to raise first, the most important thing is that there is no extra space for a large number of herbivores to run.
"The Book of Space...... I think there was......"
Locke, who came to the library, reached out and put his hand in front of the thick magic books and slowly searched for them.
"Master~ What are you looking for?"
Anne, the size of a toddler, wearing her pink petal dress and fluttering her little wings, suddenly lay on Locke's back, put her arms around his neck and asked tiredly, "What questions can be asked of Anne, Anne knows everything." ”
Locke carefully examined the giant bookshelf in front of him, he was not swayed by the leprechaun's harassment, if he had any thoughts about such a small young tooth, he should have been pulled and shot.
"Hmm...... Help me find a magic book on how to carve out large spaces. ”
"Make room?" Anne stared at her big eyes and asked strangely, "Why does the master want to open it himself?" Wouldn't it be enough to summon some demons to help you open it? ”
Summon demons to open up?
Locke shook his head, took out a book and flipped through it, put it back again, turned his head and nodded the little guy's nose, and said: "The guys who have the ability to open up space are all big demons, not to mention whether my current strength can suppress them, even if I can, the premise is to build the summoning altar first, and we don't have the materials to make that thing at present." ”
Ordinary demon summoning formations can also summon demons, but those are just small minions, except for wasting food, they are not of much use, and the demons summoned by the summoning altar are basically around the ninth order, and those are all at the same level as the Duke of Hell, Akras, and they have the ability to vaporize an area with a single move.
Once such a guy comes, Castlevania doesn't know if it will change hands in advance.
Thinking of this, Locke smiled silently, and urged the little guy on his shoulder: "Okay, go and find me the space magic guide book, go quickly." ”
"Oh."
Watching Anne flutter her wings and fly to other bookcases in the distance, Locke looked up at the huge bookcases that stretched to the ceiling around him, and suddenly realized: The library of this Demon King City is inevitably too big, the rows of bookcases are neatly arranged and there is no end in sight, just by visual inspection, it is the size of half a football field, when will this be found? Should I get an administrator over? So that when you have a question, you can ask him directly? She?
"Let the demon run the library? No, the witches look quite suitable, and their brooms can be used to clean when they have nothing to do......"
As he spoke, Locke picked up a text from the side about the introduction to energy in the material world:
"Magic is determined by the mental power of the human body, the more sufficient the spirit, the higher the magic power, if the spirit is sluggish, it represents the lack of magic energy.
And spiritual power comes from the soul.
If a human dies in an instant of violent emotional fluctuations, why does a powerful soul arise?
It is not difficult for us to find that when someone is deficient in spirit, he is suddenly startled by something or event, and at that moment, his emotions will immediately react, and the most direct manifestation is that the original sluggish spirit recovers at that moment, and directly rises to a state of complete excitement until the end.
Mood swings make the spirit high, which is similar to mood swings that condense into powerful spirits after death.
This is the relationship between emotion, spirit, soul, and energy. ”
Locke closed the text and put it back in its place, feeling that there was really some kind of mess in the library, these must have been collected by the lords of the past generations, right?
Locke thought as he picked up another document and flipped through it, which actually introduced the relationship between Castlevania and Hell.
The demons in hell distribute the magic book attached to the summoning themselves to the material world, which is equivalent to handing out business cards and leaflets, and once a human discovers and summons, it is equivalent to a customer coming to the door.
The competition in Hell is quite fierce, all the demons' energy has never been replenished, they need to keep themselves alive by constantly ingesting energy, of course, high-level guys like the Demon God King don't worry about this.
It is precisely because the energy of the demons of hell has never been filled, and the material world will be crushed by the divine system, so the existence of Castlevania has always been longed for by the demons of hell, and this place is equivalent to a haven beyond the Three Realms for them.
But no hell demon knows the location of Castlevania, it is said that Castlevania occasionally summons, but people basically want high-level existences, like the Grand Duke of Hell, and the little minions don't want to come in this life.
"In other words, in the eyes of the turtles in hell, my castle is equivalent to a top-level university, or a super-first-class enterprise?" Locke laughed with satisfaction. (To be continued)
