On its super-giant pillar-like trunk support structure, there are auxiliary supports of different lengths and thicknesses, which run through the entire building like a molecular model of fullerene molecules, forming a complex and powerful supporting appearance, which appears exquisite and integrated.

How many books are there!

Chen Xuyuan sighed in his heart, he didn't expect this otherworldly civilization to have developed to such a height. It's just that the poor places are like the dark Middle Ages, and the rich places, especially the places where wizards gather, are like the big coastal cities of the 21st century.

However, this is not surprising, even there are some places on the earth that still maintain the primitive tribal life of primitive wilderness.

The coastal areas of his original country are also built like steel jungles, and under the huge population base of more than one billion, there are still as many as one tenth of the poor people in the rocky mountains, desert areas, alpine mountains, and Loess Plateau areas, and some places are indeed poor and do not even have a new dress for the New Year.

Within the same country, it is almost like two civilizations separated by hundreds of years.

Grand Wizard Chen entered the massive arch of the library, and then saw several strange floating tuxedos floating on the towering counter.

The caster with the aura vision of the spell can see several ghost attendants of different sizes and expressions.

With a quill in their right hand and a thick magic book in their left, they looked like they were registering a few take-out borrowed books.

Although this is a gathering place for wizards, how can they use ghosts as guards?

According to the books Chen Xuyuan read in this world, ghosts are the products of spells or spirits that directly strip the soul from the body of the living, and they are extremely angry and hate the living, and rarely can communicate rationally.

Moreover, the probability of their birth in the material realm is very low, and there are no less than a dozen ghosts that have just been seen and passed by here, and everything is still in order.

Wizards generally only use other low-maintenance Ironwood golems as minions, and expensive Dirt Golems or Gargoyle golems as guards, simply because they are the most reliable and loyal.

Just when he wanted to ask about the specific situation of Vasily next to him.

There was a fight and a noise in a corner of the library, and it sounded like two male wizard apprentices, jealous of each other over the pursuit of the same schoolgirl, and got into a fight on the spot.

He saw that two of the ghosts that had just patrolled nearby flew towards the full-body iron armor erected next to them - and pounced directly on them.

Then, they drove the possessed two full-body knight armors and rushed in to drag the two unlucky men who had torn their robes and scratched their faces and necks.

"Two idiots, it's good they didn't use offensive spells in the library. Vasily was also amused by the sight.

So Great Wizard Chen took the opportunity and asked softly, "Oh~ What will happen if they use offensive spells?"

Vasily smiled and said, "If they use an attack spell, the guards will increase the level of force suppression. At that time, I am afraid that it will not be expelled at will, and when the time comes, they will directly release negative energy spells until they lose their resistance when they make trouble. “

"The Soul Guard's Blighted Touch and Fearful Face don't taste good. Especially the latter, if you are unlucky, you will directly age for 10~40 years. If a group of ghost guards are released at the same time, the legendary wizards and below will be hit. However, within 24 hours, you can use advanced healing techniques to counteract aging, and you have to pay 500 gold coins to the high-level wizard. ”

When he said this, it aroused Chen Xuyuan's curiosity, and he was keenly aware of the difference in the word used in Vasi's words just now.

"You said this is a 'ghost', not a 'ghost'?" he asked, continuing to ask.

"Of course, the wizards of the academy have made spell contracts with some willing poor people to work for the academy for a hundred years after they die, or until their souls naturally dissipate in exchange for food and clothing while they live. In fact, many people are vying for this place, and compared with the academy's own efforts, it is also very cheap, only a few hundred gold coins. ”

Vasily knew that Grand Wizard Chen had been living in a relatively remote area, and it was normal that he had not seen these new things, so he told him truthfully and in detail.

Grand Wizard Chen immediately came to his senses.

Unlike hysterical and crazy ghosts, ghosts are the souls left behind after the death of the living. Because he has a strong obsession, he is bound to a place, object, or creature that has great significance to his life. It's okay to communicate if they want to.

When he passed by the ghost attendant, he quietly and secretly used the [Soul Vision] to probe.

No sooner had he cast his sense of power onto it than he noticed that the Ghost Guard had turned keenly and looked blankly in his direction.

However, it didn't seem to notice anything unusual, but turned around and continued to register the book in its own hands.

And Chen Xuyuan discovered a special energy operation field on the ghost, and what was even more unexpected was that this operation method made him feel very familiar!

It's like ~~ like a rune guard recorded in a book!

It is also a time-honored constructor technique, and is one of the most reliable personal guards of ancient wizards.

The Rune Guardian is a constructed creature similar to the Shield Guardian, but it has more physical delicacy and magical abilities than the Shield Guardian, and is also very expensive.

Casters of all races find Rune Guardians very useful, especially Dwarves and Giants.

Runeguard has a burly human form and uses stone, steel, and lead as materials.

To inflict more lethal damage, its arms and hands are made of hollow stone filled with lead, and its entire body is covered in precious metals embedded with magical runes.

When crafting, it can be used to place spells whose total level is not higher than the crafting level of the crafter's Rune Jewels.

When fighting, the Rune Guardian casts a predetermined defensive spell to protect its master, then uses a lead-infused fist to slam the enemy.

Rune Guardians will only use offensive spells when directly commanded by their master.

Rune Guardian is directly aware of the death of its owner, whether it is present or not, and when its owner dies, it immediately enters a berserk state, attacking all creatures in sight.

In this case, the possessor of the jewel is not only unable to control the rune guard, but also has no way to avoid being attacked by the rune guard through the jewel.

Therefore, this is simply the most loyal and fierce and powerful guard.

Chen Xuyuan himself had tried to make a puppet like the [Rune Guard], but the difficulty was indeed unusually great!

Not only do they have high requirements for themselves, but they also have a very good level of engineering, material synthesis and alchemy, rune literature, and jewelry making, and the method can be successfully refined.

In other words, the process of refining these guards is the process of studying hooks and golems.
