Chapter 586: Visit the Library
The moonlight poured silently on the windowsill like flowing water, and Artoria, dressed in her dressing gown, stood behind the window, motionless looking at the garden outside the window.
Behind her, Charles laid out the floor the bedding he had slept on for the night.
Although the weather is very hot in August, the hotel is equipped with air conditioning, which makes it very cool.
Florence is already full of outsiders, and although the hotels are not full, the occupancy rate has been high.
And this summer, a few air-conditioned hotels have become places for city dwellers to try new things, and many people try the taste of air conditioning in the hotels before considering whether to buy one from the Forge Temple.
As a result, Charles and he could only find a single room to stay in.
"Do you have something on your mind?" Charles asked.
Artoria nodded slightly.
"It's because of the lady. Charles said as he took out a box from the storage ring and went to the side to make two cups of herbal tea.
He handed Artoria a cup of hot tea, stepped back a few meters, and said, "You probably saw that lady had offspring, so you wanted to add a younger brother and sister to Mordred?" ”
Artoria glanced at him, but said, "Blanche can also have a litter with you, she has three daughters and is more experienced." ”
Charles was stunned, how did he pull out the queen?
Then again, he hadn't heard from the Queen and her three daughters for a long time, and he missed them a lot. And it was the queen who matched the bridge back then, and Artoria followed him back to the east to re-emerge.
Before Charles could say anything more, Artoria gulped down the herbal tea in her cup, threw it on the table, and went to sleep under the covers.
Charles shook his head, drank his tea, and went to sleep on the floor, he still had to take the exam in the dream platform tonight.
????
????? (?????)?
The morning sun poured into the room through the window and shone on Charles, who woke up and stretched.
Last night's high math exam made him let go of a big stone in his heart.
When Charles came out of the wash, Artoria in the bed said to him, "You can move by yourself today, and I will rest for a while." ”
After saying that, he turned around and went back to sleep.
Charles walked over to the bed and asked, "Not feeling well?"
Artoria in the nest shook her head.
Charles changed into a low-key luxury dress, then tinkered with the reserve food in the storage ring, brewed Artoria a steaming cup of brown sugar water and placed it on the bedside table before leaving.
In the Duchy of Milan, many chambers of commerce need to run errands to deliver letters and goods, and those small chambers of commerce are sometimes short of manpower, so this business opportunity was discovered.
Charles found an errand shop on the side of the road and asked them to send letters to Mordred, Madame Rosanna, and Facchetti in Milan, telling them that he would spend a few days in the library on this side of Florence, and that he would not have to worry about it.
Leaving the errand shop, he avoided the carriages passing on the road and walked on the side of the road towards the Florentine Library.
The rise of cities depends on the development of agriculture and transportation, and only when these two develop to a certain extent can they support the food and other materials needed by a city.
Horse-drawn wagons transporting grain, fruits, vegetables and meat enter the city from the north gate according to the rules of the city, and then leave through the south gate after unloading, so as not to cause congestion at the city gate.
Horse-drawn carriages do not go fast on the stone roads in the city, horseshoes do not have a shock-absorbing effect, walking too fast will cause damage to the horse's feet, and the coachman will not let the horse run on the stone road unless necessary.
Now Charles was unlucky, and the carriage next to him had a large lump of fresh manure in the manure pocket of the pack horse, which made him crooked.
This is not a wild place, just throw horse manure into the field and enter the food chain.
The carriage couldn't run, only Charles did, and he quickened his pace and hurried all the way in the direction of the library.
At this time, the library had already opened, and many people lined up outside the door to prepare to enter.
Charles asked the rules from the front desk of the hotel this morning, went straight to the VIP passage, and threw out a gold Northland Auray coin to buy a highest-level badge, which was only valid for ten days.
The library is a gold-eating beast, and its maintenance requires a lot of money, and it can be expensive to prevent someone from stealing books with a storage ring.
In order to fill this hole, the library even set up a hierarchy, and the more money you pay, the more books you can read.
The money was in place, the efficiency of the library was extremely high, and in less than a cigarette, the reading card that could read the entire library was in Charles's hand.
The most precious books in the library are on the second floor, because I am afraid that the river next to it will flood the city.
Charles walked into the vault of the highest level of magic books, which was his target.
This library is not large, with two or three thousand books, but they are all good books that can be circulated and can make people grab their heads.
At the same time, this place is generally the place where the protagonist captures a genius beautiful girl into the harem.
It's not in vain that Charles paid for it to come in and read a book, a gold Ole coin is equivalent to two thousand elf dollars, which is two hundred dollars a day, and the luxurious steak set that Artoria invited him to eat yesterday is also at this price, and people who are not rich in the family have to weigh it if they want to come in.
So there were a few people at the long table in the library who were working hard to copy the important content of the book in the shortest possible time.
Books in the library are not allowed to be borrowed, but they can be copied and taken away, as long as you don't take them for publication and sell them for money.
On the table next to the door of the library are several catalogues of the collection, recording the names and locations of the collections.
Charles flipped through the pages and found the book he needed most.
It is a book about strengthening the physique, which can make the human body do more with less when exercising through the stimulation of magic, and it is not like taking hormones to cause serious side effects.
There are many similar exercises that use magic, but the results are uneven, and some can cause side effects such as endocrine disorders.
For example, there is a way to generate a long-term gravitational field around the body, allowing the user to move in several times the gravity, and then achieve the effect of exercising the body and strengthening the physique.
However, Charles vetoed this magic at the first time, he is still growing tall, and living in a high gravity environment for a long time will make him not tall.
The dwarves were very fond of this magic, and many dwarves would use it to exercise their bodies, and to increase the speed of the hammer when striking iron.
There is also magic with similar functions among the elves, but it is not suitable for human use, and Charles can only return to the human world to find a way.
After jotting down the location of the book, Charles walked over to the shelf.
There were a few people looking for books between the bookshelves, they were all in a hurry, obviously not wanting to waste a little time, Charles was so unhurried to see that it was the child of a rich family.
When he reached the place where the book was, he stretched out his hand to take it down, and a small white and tender hand grabbed the book at the same time.
Charles turned his head and saw that it was an "FBI summoning beast" about his age, with a cute face, long silver hair and red eyes, and wearing a pink gothic loli dress.
Ru someone carefully looked up and down at the "FBI Summoning Beast" next to him, which can be called exquisite, cute and moving, and saw that the other party's white jade-like face showed a shy pink.
Thinking that the book he wanted to borrow couldn't be preempted by others, someone else said, "Dude, you're dressed very chic." ”
The "FBI summoned beast" was stunned for a moment, and then ran away with his hands covering his face and "woo".
Ru someone shook his head, and the Adam's apple began to grow, and he was still wearing women's clothes. Let's not talk about wearing women's clothes, each has its own advantages and is not forced, but is it not good to wear a scarf around your neck to cover your Adam's apple professionally.
When he was done, he took the book down and studied it on a long table beside him.
