Chapter 289: The Library
The snow on the streets has been cleared clean.
The bleak cold wind blew from time to time, but it could not drive away the enthusiasm of the people.
On both sides of the street, in large and small snack bars, there is constantly white steam, bursts of aroma coming to the nose, making people appetizing.
Barr chose a very clean snack bar, quickly filled his stomach, and asked the waiter about the location of the library.
After that, we followed the direction and walked towards the city center.
After a while, he finally found the library. The library was huge, guarded by broadsword guards on the perimeter. The guys who stood motionless on the ground like stakes, covered with a lot of snow, were weird and funny like snowmen, but no one dared to laugh at them, they were a symbol of law enforcement and justice.
However, Baal didn't brow at all, and now he was not afraid of a hundred thousand broadsword guards attacking him.
Killing those Broadsword Guards will give you a lot of XP. If he challenged the broadsword guards of the entire city, Baal would also have confidence. Now, with his strength, he can single-handedly take the city.
Moreover, killing the broadsword guards to level up is really a very good method.
But Barr didn't want to kill those guys like a bloodthirsty maniac. After all, they were humans, and besides, they didn't pose any threat to Barr anymore. These days, Barr has also heard that the Scourge has made a comeback, and if Barr is wreaking havoc on human cities now, I am afraid that it will not be long before humanity will really become extinct. There is a feeling of robbing while the fire is on fire.
Even if Barr takes revenge, he will be a lifeless sight wherever he goes, which he doesn't want to see.
Except for Leia and her father, Barr has no grudge against anyone else, so naturally he doesn't want to kill innocents.
He walked into the library, and a warm breath immediately hit his face, and the temperature inside was much warmer than outside.
As far as the eye can see, I can see that inside the library, there are tall bookshelves lined up, and the shelves are full of books. At first glance, the number is probably more than 100,000.
"Damn! So much! Barr suddenly wondered how difficult it was to find a single piece of information from so many books!
Norton reminded him to come here to read, but there was no more reminder. After reading the books here one by one, do you want to see the Year of the Monkey?
The library was crowded with people, mostly locals, dressed in thick cotton clothes and big furry hats. There are also a handful of adventurers with weapons on their backs.
Barr was a little irritable and walked in this labyrinthine sea of books, so many books, do you really want to read them one by one?
"There's got to be a limit to jokes, damn Norton!" Barr scolded dissatisfiedly and pulled out a random book.
The book was quite thick, and he saw that the wooden cover was engraved with the three big characters of Star Sucking Notes, and he couldn't help but be attracted by the title of the book, and immediately flipped through it. At a glance, I realized that this is a fantasy novel, a story called ruined... Injure... Big... Demon guys... Ahem... wrote, and he was surprised to find that the name of the protagonist of this novel is...
Obviously, the book wasn't what Barr was looking for, and he had no time to waste, so he put it back in place at once.
When Baal took a look at this area, he was shocked to find that all of them were fantasy science fiction fairy novels, which existed in the real material world, and it was obvious that this world copied things in reality.
"No wonder there are so many books..."
But that's not a good thing. In the vast sea of books, looking for a piece of information is no different from looking for a needle in the sea.
Sure enough, this kind of thing would not have been possible without anyone's help. Then spend the money... Well, wait, maybe ask the knowledgeable guys.
"Yes, librarian!"
Barr suddenly realized and hurriedly walked to the front desk.
Sitting at the front desk was an elderly man with a pair of reading glasses on the bridge of his nose and a head full of gray hair.
Barr walked over and asked, "Sir, how long have you been here?" ”
The old man didn't look at Barr, and replied, "For a lifetime." ”
A smile appeared on Barr's lips, well, he was looking for this kind of person. Barr said, "I want to ask you something. ”
"Tell me about it," said the old man, still not looking back, and was busy with the writing in his hands.
"I'd like to ask for information about the palace of the Angels of Hell."
The old man finally stopped the quill in his hand, took off his glasses and looked at Barr, "You want to find that place?" The old man asked.
Barr nodded, "Yes." Can you give me some pointers? ”
The old man said: "Everyone who comes to inquire about this news, I will give him a task, and I will tell him the news after it is completed." Are you ready? ”
Barr smiled slightly, thinking that he had really touched the right one, and he said, "If there is anything you want me to help with, tell me about it." ”
"Ahem," the old man coughed twice, "That's right, because something happened to the family this year, and I urgently need money... Ahem... You know, and my meager salary isn't enough to fill the void, if you can get me 10,000 gold from the monsters... Ahem, I'll tell... Ahem you. ”
Barr was taken aback when he heard this, "What? ”
"Uh... Is it too much..."The old man's face changed suddenly, and he quickly changed his words: "In this way, as long as you find 8,000 gold coins for me, I will tell you." ”
The reason why Barr was surprised just now was because he didn't expect the old man to directly reach out and ask for money, he thought that he was going to teach some people or monsters who provoked him to hunt hundreds of ice wolves or something, but he didn't expect this old man to be so realistic.
"8,000 gold coins right?" Barr said lightly.
The old man coughed deliberately twice, and said in a serious manner: "If you go to hunt the Ice and Snow Demon Wolf, you should be able to 'find' those gold coins soon, ahem..."
Barr didn't have time to waste on him, so he directly took out 8,000 gold coins, "Look, my mission has been completed." ”
When the old man saw the glittering gold coin, he immediately grinned happily, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, your task has been completed, what do you want to know, in Area D on the third floor, there is a bookshelf with books about the palace of the angels of hell, I have read it." But I don't know exactly where to put it. You look for it, it shouldn't take a lot of time. ”
Things were finally moving forward, and Barr was finally picking up some spirits.
He asked, "Have you ever read that?" So don't you have an impression of the entrance to the palace of the angels of hell or something? ”
The old man's eyes were completely fixed on the golden coins sitting on it, and he didn't have time to look at Baal at all, and he said: "I'm not interested in that, but I warn you, it's very dangerous in there, I heard that the angels of hell have imprisoned a large number of undead in it, and there is no way to deal with the undead, so it's better not to go in." Even the broadsword guards will die if they enter. ”
Baal nodded, finally got a lot of information, and it seemed that he would soon be able to go there to upgrade his equipment.
He was about to leave, when he suddenly heard the old man muttering to himself: "It's really strange, after guarding this library all my life, no one has come to inquire about the news of the 'Palace of the Angels of Hell', but I didn't expect that two people would come to inquire about this news all of a sudden today." ”
Barr was stunned for a moment, then returned the way he came, and asked, "What you said were that someone else asked you these questions?" ”
The old man nodded in confirmation.
"Who is it?"
"How do I know," said the old man, staring intently at the pile of gold coins on the table, "I only know that it is a dazzling woman, and although half of her face is covered, her shocking beauty cannot be hidden. ”
It seems that there is a beautiful woman who has taken the lead, but who will she be?
Anyway, this information started from Norton, and that kind of hidden hidden copy would not be found if it wasn't for the luck of falling out of the scum. But those game developers, the producers of the copy, must be clear. Maybe Norton wasn't the one to develop the copy, but she certainly heard about it. That's why I know the way.
But who else is like her?
Could it be...
Barr already wondered if it was Leia who sent someone, or if it was simply Leia herself! But it seems unlikely, the Scourge should make her dizzy now, and she won't have time to spare.
Besides, if Leia sent someone else to handle it, why didn't she come because she had to wait until now, so much time before?
Because he ran into a competitor, Barr would think twice.
However, with his ability, unless Grace interferes with him, the other shrimp soldiers and crabs will not take him seriously at all, and they will die as many as they come!
Perhaps, it is not necessary to take this opportunity to use the other party to find an entrance, thinking about it, Barr decided to act on the opportunity.
