Chapter 215: The Library
When Su Xiaoting opened her luggage, she saw a suit similar to her first-class clothing, but more elaborate. Immediately took it out and compared it on her body, and her waist tightened slightly, obviously according to her measurements.
I was overjoyed, I didn't expect Liu Da to help me prepare so quickly. In addition, there are several local women's costumes, although they are not as ornate as the suits on their bodies, but they are also made of soft cotton cloth.
There was also a small iron box on the table, with a lock hanging on it, Su Xiaoting unscrewed the key and saw that in addition to the reward of 100 magic crystals she had received, there was also the geographical chronicle.
Su Xiaoting picked up a magic crystal, looked at the flickering brilliance through the light, sighed softly, and remembered the scenes she saw in the port of Vladivostok.
I heard that the magic crystal is also divided into categories, usually such as the one in her hand, which is just taken out from the most ordinary shrimp soldiers and crabs, because of the large amount and easy to obtain, it is used as the basic circulation unit.
The larger and more ferocious the sea beasts, the size of the magic crystal will also increase, sometimes one can be exchanged for 10, but ordinary people use it less, usually only traded in the elite circle, because they are no less difficult to obtain than those mineral gems, and even have a tendency to replace jewelry.
Su Xiaoting put the tin box in the wardrobe and began to make the bed.
This room is about 10 square meters, with white walls and concrete floors, except for a few simple wooden furniture, but it is exceptionally clean.
There is also a bathroom next to it, with a simple water heater, seeing all this, Su Xiaoting nodded with satisfaction.
From the southern suburbs of the imperial capital, to Lingyuan in Ji Province, and then to being trafficked to the endless land, she has long been accustomed to a more difficult environment than in modern times.
It's just that the signal here is jammed, even if you have a light brain or bracelet, you can't do anything, let alone contact someone, even if you want to get important news about the United States.
At this moment, she understood what Ji Yuning had said, if there was anything she wanted to know, she could ask him, she couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"It's me!" The other party's voice made Su Xiaoting feel relieved to open the door.
"City Lord?"
"Well~ I'll come and see, are you used to living?" Ji Yuning glanced at the room, and the layout was similar to that of the other maids in the main building.
"It's good, thank you~"
Ji Yuning didn't catch any emotion in his words, so he continued: "Do you want to see the library?" ”
"Now? That's great! ”
Ji Yuning walked in front with leisurely steps, pointing to both sides of the stairs casually, introducing the purpose of the room to Su Xiaoting, while Su Xiaoting was half a step behind, listening intently and responding softly.
Originally, on the second floor, there were mainly various study rooms, recreation rooms, as well as maids' lounges and guest rooms.
The third floor is Ji Yuning's bedroom, study, and training room......
The top floor is the bedroom of the eldest lady Ji Yingxue, the terrace flower room, and a library covering a large area of nearly 300 square meters.
Ji Yuning knocked on the heavy iron door of the library, "Old Li!" ”
Soon the door opened from the inside, "It's the city lord!" Please. ”
An old man with white temples and kind eyebrows saw Su Xiaoting's eyes light up, and said with a smile: "Welcome, welcome, you see first, I'll make a pot of tea." ”
Ji Yuning nodded, and the two stepped into the hall, and Su Xiaoting was immediately impregnated by a thick and solemn atmosphere!
She had seen a lot of libraries, and even in modern times, the conch-shaped four-story library was much more spectacular than here, let alone the future.
But what if each of these books exudes the traces of time, and at the same time is carefully cared for, like the sutras that have been offered?
Instead of being crowded next to each other, each of them had a thick partition and some locked wooden cabinets with intricately carved wooden cabinets, which Su Xiaoting guessed might have kept even more precious books.
"The books in this library are quite complete, and many of them are unique books in the endless land, I will talk to Li Lao in a while, if you want to come, you can come at any time."
"Thank you, Lord of the City...... Has Mr. Li always been here? ”
"Well, Mr. Li loves books, so he separated a bedroom for him. Moreover, he is a powerhouse at the peak of the 7th order, and he is also responsible for ensuring the safety of this place! ”
"So powerful?" Su Xiaoting is not only speechless, no wonder, she can't tell the age of the other party.
"Well, that~ I'll help you get it down!" Ji Yuning took out a control panel from his pocket and entered a 6-digit password on it.
Before Su Xiaoting could react, she heard a slight sound on her neck, as if the lock was unhooked, and the next moment, Ji Yuning had already reached out to help her take off the collar.
“…… You! Su Xiaoting felt a lightness in her neck and said.
"I'm sorry, I should have solved it earlier, but there are too many dangerous factors outside of Mu Ling, especially outside of Cang'er and several major city-states......"
He didn't want to put her in danger, and with the collar, at least he could find her! Now that they had agreed, he was going to protect her.
"I know, I still want to, thank you!" Su Xiaoting nodded.
There are attendants and servants here, although they are not the kind of selling, but they are similar to the small maids in ancient times. And after she was bought by Ji Yuning, the other party did not treat her as a private slave, she was lucky enough.
"It doesn't have to be this way, there should be the answer you want here, if you still have questions, ask me again!" After that, Ji Yuning found Li Lao and said hello, and left first!
"Miss Su, come and have some tea? It's been a long time since I've had a newcomer here, old man! Li Laole walked out with a tea tray.
"Thank you, Mr. Li~" Su Xiaoting hurriedly stepped forward to help.
"This is the dragon well that the city lord brought last time, by the way, what book does the little girl want to read?"
"Elder Li, I want to see the history and humanities of the Endless Land......"
Elder Li nodded clearly, the city lord had already introduced her identity just now, so it seems that the city lord is very different from this woman!
"Okay, you sit down first, and I'll get it for you soon."
Elder Li nodded clearly, the city lord had already introduced her identity just now, so it seems that the city lord is very different from this woman!
"Okay, you sit down first, and I'll get it for you soon."
Su Xiaoting's calm heart suddenly became worried, will there be the answer she wants to find here? Could it be like a geography, but with more than 100 years of history?
The book that Li Lao brought looked old, although it was not damaged, the paper was already brownish, but as she thought, the content of this book only recorded the history of 200 years.
"Elder Li, is there any earlier? From the beginning of the Dark Age? Su Xiaoting said after flipping through the two thin books.
"Earlier?" Li Lao pondered for a moment, "That's it!" You come with me. "I'm afraid this is also the meaning of the city lord, I hope to tell that history objectively through the records in the book!
Su Xiaoting hurriedly got up and followed the old man to the innermost staircase of the library.
I didn't think that there was a hole here, and there was an attic of a few square meters up the stairs, and there was a glass cover on the stone platform in the middle of the attic, which contained two books on a layered display!
Li Lao first went around to the glass cover and operated it, and the glass cover rose and opened, and then gently took out the following book as if holding the swaddling clothes and held it in his arms.
"Let's go!" With that, walk down the stairs and place the book straight on the bookshelf next to the stairs.
