Chapter 33: The Secretary of the Battle and the Administrator
Magic Research Institute, Mephis is communicating with the system, at the beginning of the construction of the library, the system gave a chance to create a zΓ o battle secretary, and now Mephis uses the remaining immortal ashes to make the core, and meets the conditions to make the battle division book, in fact, it is the same magic guide Karakuri as Hevier.
I have to praise the new partner for being a beautiful and youthful girl, with long black hair swaying around her back, and red ribbons tied on both sides are very cute, with the girl's deliberate cute movements moving happily, a little red appears on her small white cheeks, and the dress with wide sleeves and a black background is the only dress on her body, and the slender legs are wearing white silk with red belts, giving people the feeling that as long as the range of movement is a little larger, it will be gone
"Combat Secretary Sayo ~ A clever girl who conveys a smile to the master's heart ~~Love~Love~~~"
ββ¦β¦β
Xiao Ye put her hand on her chest with a loving look, even a blind person can see her acting skills, but this acting skills have a lot of Cheng DΓΉ is serious.
"Master? Whether it is serving tea, pouring water, pinching the waist and beating the legs, you can be competent, work hard during the day, focus on warming the bed at night, be responsible for your diet, daily life, bath, wipe your back, sleep, good morning kiss, as long as it is the owner's request, whether it is touching or popping, you will not refuse. β
ββ¦β¦ It's just wonderful. Do you think I'm going to say that? β
Mephis thought about it and couldn't find a suitable line and stopped talking a few times, it's good that the new partner is full of energy, but it's easy for Mephis to be overwhelmed by such enthusiasm.
"Xiaoye, you look down on the ground."
"Huh? What the? β
"You're it."
"How can it be, Xiao Ye is sincere, and it is Xiao Ye's lifelong wish to offer a qiΔ to the master, whether it is in daily life or in bed!!"
Xiao Ye straightened her chest as if she was being praised, but it was just the right size that could be accommodated with just one hand, and there was nothing to show off.
However, Heviel, who was standing aside, still looked down and checked her chest, probably because the swordsman's outfit was considered defense, and she didn't notice anything.
Although he didn't quite understand, Hevier felt that he was losing out to the newcomer in some way.
"Could it be...... Did Lord Mephis create the Battle Secretary so that he could be at night... Solve the strange thing!! Sure enough, right!! It's so dirty!! Lose all feeling of shame!! Please don't do this with magic Karakuri. β
"Wait, what the hell are you making up in your head? Xiao Ye is the secretary of the battle department.,In charge of library-related affairs.,It's a serious job.γ β
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Ye changed into a crying expression, and approached Mephis step by step and drilled into his arms, while Mephis kept retreating, retreating on the wall and climbing onto the workbench to the other side, and ran over the table to continue to avoid Xiao Ye, and Xiao Ye cried at that time.
"Sayo found that she couldn't get the love of her master when she was just born, didn't the master like Sayo? Or did Xiao Ye upset the owner? Ah~ It's so empty and lonely, the master quickly warms me with his body. β
"Wait, is there a problem with your understanding of love?"
Mephis finally hid behind Herveil, Hevier was like a mother chicken protecting the chicks to block there, Xiaoye glared at Hevier, Heviel also stared at Xiaoye, as if a dragon and a tiger were against each other, and rushed to the side coldly, Hevier reached out to block, Xiaoye immediately changed directions, Hevier was not to be outdone, so the three of them played the game of eagle catching chickens, and Xiaoye was perfectly defended.
"Xiao Ye is sad, I'm on a hunger strike and I won't eat! Now go and find someone on the street to beat him up. β
"Hey, what the hell are you doing? Why do you want to hit passers-by who don't know the truth? β
"Wow!! The owner really doesn't love Xiao Ye anymore, and he didn't even ask Xiao Ye why he didn't eat!! β
"I'm going... Is this all right? β
Xiao Ye cried for a while and found that Mephis was not fooled, and unhappily puffed up her cheeks and kicked the door open and walked out, as Mephis said that she had a scrivener job and needed to patrol the library frequently.
With the addition of Xiaoye, the library is much more lively, and the children have begun to enter the library to familiarize themselves with the environment, and the deserted library finally has some vitality.
It is worth noting that several of the older children showed a keen interest in books and tried to read them, which was clearly a good start for Mephis.
Mephis found that the children's clothes were missing patches, and there were few new clothes in the entire orphanage, which were obviously not suitable for welcoming visitors, so she had to design two uniforms and give them to Night, so that she could go to the tailor to order them when the wither's bounty came down.
But at the moment, it's only Xiao Ye, and everything is left to her, even if it's a magic guide Karakuri who won't get tired, she can't be busy.
The library will not hire outsiders for the time being, and more magic tricks will not be able to make zuΓ² for the time being due to lack of materials, and the lack of manpower is obvious, but Mephis doesn't plan to hand them all over to guard, he has a solution.
There is a magic book in the underground library, which records the summoning contract. There is an interesting pact in this world where someone who needs something that cannot be obtained can be promised a price to be paid, and the mysterious power in the underworld will record the price until the other person offers the corresponding sacrifice, and the two parties exchange it with each other. Conversely, the other party can make their own demands, and the contract will look for those who are willing to pay the price.
Mephis stood in the middle of the underground library, an intricate summoning array drawn on the ground, dots and lines forming elegant patterns, cutting through the skin of his palms and clenching his fists, slowly exerting force to the rhythm of the incantation.
"Summoned, my name is Mephis. Helmont, obey the ancient call to obey the covenant, entrust my will with innumerable books and knowledge, and when you answer, you will come here and become the guardian of this place for a hundred years. β
Helmont also means hermit, and Mephis used it as a surname in honor of the guild of the gaming era.
The blood dripped on the summoning array as if it were dripping into a pool of water, rippling like the sheen of moonlight on the water, and then there was a silent wait.
It didn't take long for a voice to come from the magic array.
"Horva the barbarian, hoping for wisdom, visited the famous druid."
"The old druid said: If you really want wisdom and knowledge, put your most precious things in the treasure chest, and then go to Udavik, climb the mountain, walk on the cliff, bow in all four directions, introduce yourself to the gods, and throw the treasure chest into the sea."
Horva complied, and went back to the sacred tree and asked: I threw the treasure chest into the sea, but I didn't feel wiser.
"The old druid told him: That's because there is no shortcut to wisdom, neither prayer, nor dedication, nor listening to the wise will give you wisdom, and this is the wisdom you have to learn."
The woman's voice was originally ethereal and vague, like a time and space across from far to near, and finally her voice seemed to be in her ears.
A halo rose under the magic array, as if it was an open door, and the literary girl who followed the call slowly walked over, looking around without stopping to speak.
"Horva was furious, strangled the druid with his bare hands, and then put the druid's head in a spear and placed it in front of his house, so that everyone would know that although he had no intelligence, he was not so easy to deceive."
ββ¦β¦β
The crowd was silent.
Mephis secretly glanced at the book in her hand, the novel titled "The Witcher", I don't know what the content is, just listen to the content just now, it seems that the world of swords and magic does not wait for chicken soup for the soul.
The girl's gaze finally rested on Mephis's face, her slender fingers resting on her chest, bowing slightly in an ancient manner, and gently brushing her beautiful long silver hair, as if in thought.
"My name is Bedhill, and I am the Silver Dragon, Mr. Mephis, and I have known your request in the contract, and I have come to answer the call for wisdom, and I hope this place will not disappoint me."
Isn't it good to simply introduce yourself? By telling such a strange story before introducing yourself, is it implying that Mephis can't satisfy your demands, so you stick Mephis's head in the spear as well? When the time comes, I will also tell others: although she did not get the wisdom she wanted, she is not so easy to deceive.
Mephis subconsciously touched her neck and felt a hint of pressure.
"Trust me, you won't be disappointed here."
"I will only fulfill the mission of the contract, and will not give you any help other than that, I hope you can understand."
"The contract is equal, the price has been paid, and we owe each other nothing. However, I would like you to summon a certain number of Scroll Dragons. The upper floor of the library will be open to the public, and the lower level will be filled with secretaries who record magic, and they are not allowed to read at will, and the library needs a suitable administrator, and I don't think anyone is more suitable than the book dragons. β
"It's a reasonable request, I can promise you, but you have to trade it for a book I haven't read."
"It's easy."
Mephis's real target is the Scroll Dragon, a dragon with 'Dragon' in its name but a fish's tail that doesn't match its body, and has strong combat power.
The Scroll Dragons are the guardians and collectors of knowledge, their strength lies in their ability to cast spells, and the Library is their favorite habitat. The body of the scroll dragon is very small, and even the largest scroll dragon can flip through a small book without difficulty, just enough to pick up the book and read Cheng dΓΉ.
The most important thing is that the scroll dragon is relatively close to the people, they have beautiful and slender white hair around the wise face, and the scales on this dragon's body shine brilliantly under the light, and as a true guide of the library, it will not scare people.
Good looks can still fight, elusive and can work well, and the most important thing is that there is no need for salary, Mephis can meet these dragons as long as he continues to upgrade the library, expand the scale and increase the number of books.
In exchange, Mephis immediately searched the surrounding bookshelves for books and pulled out a magic book from A Thousand Nights.
"Be careful not to fall asleep when reading this book, there are a thousand and one stories in it, each story is a complete hypnotic spell, and those who read it will inevitably fall asleep all night."
"It's okay, I'm a dragon, and I can't imagine magic power, and I'm immune to any lower level magic."
"Hopefully......"
In this way, the administrator's affairs were settled, and Mephis told Bedhill about the children's arrangements, welcoming the knowledge-seeker Bedhill, and promising to let the Scroll Dragons take time to guide the children who love to read, so that Mephis can leave for a while.
Before leaving, Mephis had to say hello to Roberson.
Roberson has rarely had a break for so many years, and the warehouse is full of rice, flour, salt and oil, and finally he no longer has to work all day to make a living. However, the old man did not plan to be idle, he slowly walked in the library to look for books of interest, most of them were related to theology and philosophy, and when he found the book, he sat in a quiet place to read, wearing glasses and thinking about the meaning of life, and sat for most of the day.
"People are not isolated and unrelated, there is a contract of law, the exchange of behavior and life, and the contract of spirit. Goodness is not only a quality as opposed to indifference, treachery, cruelty, and selfishness, but also a spiritual contract. β
The old man was accustomed to pronounce a voice as he read, and this voice was especially evident in the silent library, and Mephis listened for a long time without leaving until Roberson discovered his deposit.
"It's been a long time since I've read a book so seriously, and now I can pick up a book with fresh content and knowledge, and I have to admit that I have been left behind by the times."
"Do you say that because you're old?"
"If you don't accept it, you can't do it, your eyes are cloudy, your hands and feet are not as sharp as before, and you feel that it is difficult to even perform magic skills, no matter how reluctant I am, I have to be convinced, and the years are not forgiving."
"I don't think so, your years are the most precious treasure, few people can be the same for decades, and you have done it, and I admire it very much. By the way, I recently had an archaeological project to leave for a few days. β
"Go in peace, there is nothing to worry about in the orphanage, and as for the library, I think you have already arranged it."
Robertson waved his hand to stop complimenting him, he had long passed the age of listening to good words, and now he just wanted to read a book quietly.
