Chapter 4 The Collection of Books in the Palace
After a long period of consideration, Zuo Xiaoyou decided to go to Elsenk, not for anything else, but for the collection of books in the palace.
Linka saw his 'weakness' and loved to read too much. When Zuo Xiaoyou first said that he didn't want to leave the Peach Forest, Rinca moved out of Elsenk's palace library. For Zuo Xiaoyou, as the most valuable collection of books in a country, if you can't see it with your own eyes, it is simply a torture that is worse than death. So under Linka's narrow gaze, left and right knelt for the big guy.
Unlike in the original book, where Wu had to study the method of going back and forth, so that he did not go to Elsenk, this time Linka and Ullis did not stay in the Forest of Waves, and personally took him and Livia to Elsenk.
After spending a day packing up the things in the cabin, Linka summoned four flying beasts, one for each person, and from morning to afternoon, he flew to Elsenk in such a comfortable seat.
When they arrived at Elsenk, the four of them landed in front of the city gates. Although Linca and Ullis have noble statuses, there is a national rule in a country, no matter how noble a person is, when he arrives in the royal city, he is not allowed to fly in the sky above the royal city in a flying demonic beast, otherwise he is likely to be regarded as a provocation to the royal city and will be shot down by magic.
But after all, Linca's status is noble, and the guards in front of the city gate saw Archmage Linca coming, and immediately sent the message to the palace as soon as possible, and soon a gorgeous two-horse carriage came to the city gate, and then the four of them went to the palace.
From the city gate to the palace, there were no accidents, which made Zuo Xiaoyou breathe a sigh of relief. It seems that there is no corrective power in this world, and the development of the plot can be controlled by him at will.
In this way, it is good not to provoke wars, and it is good to live in peace.
When they arrived at the palace, Zuo Xiaoyou and Livia followed Linka and Ullys to meet King Walt of the Kingdom of Barbnianca. This Walter looks like he is in his forties, with a big flaxen back and a big beard, and looks like the King of Spades.
Behind him were two stunning girls who were comparable to Livia. Among them, the seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, tall, and proud like a white swan, had the same long flaxen hair as the King of Walt, and her sea-blue eyes exuded a Mediterranean style, but her face exuded a compelling pride, as if nothing in the world could enter the eyes of this beautiful woman.
And there is a faint blood mark on her forehead, which must be Princess Olina who has been spelled by the blood of the revenant.
To be honest, Olina's first impression on Zuo Xiaoyou was not good. An arrogant little girl who looks at everything by virtue of her background and beauty is really unlikeable.
But...... It's really beautiful!
In comparison, the other is relatively shorter, also seventeen or eighteen years old, and the girl with long flaxen hair looks much more gentle and demure. On the surface, she looks like a lady, but if you look closely, the nobility and elegance on her body clearly tell others that her true identity is a noble princess.
Zuo Xiaoyou nodded secretly, and her senses for this girl were very good, presumably she was Olina's cousin, Princess Fioya of the Principality of Rein.
And whether it is Princess Olina or Princess Fioya, they are all among the ten beauties of the Holy Demon Continent. Of course, Zuo Xiaoyou believes that there must be girls in the Holy Demon Continent who can compete with the top ten beauties, but they may be comparable in appearance, but they are far from in terms of identity and fame.
Both daughters are princesses, and Livia is the daughter of Julis, one of the Seven Magicians. The others, Bing Xue'er, the queen of the Ice and Snow Kingdom, and Bing Qingying, the chief archmage of the Ice and Snow Kingdom, are either from noble backgrounds or powerful people. In addition, there are the leader of the Rose Mercenary Group, Ulanasha, and the deputy head Ying, who are also peerless beauties who bloom in the tempering of blood and fire. And Goni Sherant, the daughter of the prime minister of the Reinhardt Kingdom, is known as the Flower of Knights, has the strength of a paladin, and is also the leader of the Phoenix Army of the Reinhardt Kingdom.
The eight beauties mentioned above are all beautiful girls from the Holy Demon Continent, and very few can match them. Therefore, if you want to enter the list of the top ten beauties, in addition to beauty, you must also have a corresponding fame. One is indispensable.
As for some people saying, who are the last two beauties of the top ten beauties in the Holy Demon Continent?
The answer is: I don't know.
It's really no wonder that Zuo Xiaoyou doesn't know, it's really that the author in the original book didn't explain it at all.
Thinking about it, I understand that the book "I Am the Archmage" is like writing and playing, it is completely the author's YY work, there is no logic at all, everything is written for the sake of coolness, how cool and how to come. The beauties and summoned beasts are all like mentally retarded, seeing Wu Lai crying and shouting upside down, and once he falls in love, he will die unswervingly, and the little cabbage readers who are moved are in a mess, and they can't wait to give two tubes to thank the author.
But the author probably wrote and began to get serious, so he made a self-explosion for Wu Lai, and then made a second personality nameless or something to play a monster upgrade game to provide resistance for the growth of pig's feet. But in the end, it was nondescript, and readers who read it at the beginning were not satisfied at the beginning of the second volume, and readers who liked logic and rigor did not like to read this book.
Probably because of this, the author will write hundreds of thousands of words to finish the book, and then in the future works, there will be no brain-dead YY, and it will become a relatively normal stream of practice upgrades. However, the practice upgrade stream is not better than others, and it is a pity that this popular author is mediocre after all.
Just when Zuo Xiaoyou secretly looked at King Wort and the two princesses, the three of them were also looking at Zuo Xiaoyou. While cleaning up the hut yesterday, Linka had his summoned beast deliver a letter to the palace telling the king of what had happened recently. When King Wart learned that someone from another world had come to the Holy Demon Continent, and that he had magic power comparable to that of gods and demons, and had easily contracted the Fire Phoenix, he couldn't help but be nervous and excited.
Nervous is that the chief archmage of his country has accepted such a strong disciple, but he doesn't know if he can use it for himself?
The excitement is that if you can use it for yourself, wouldn't your country have a powerful guardian saint, and your country's strength will also be greatly improved. In every respect, it is beneficial to one's own country.
With mixed feelings, King Walter finally waited for Zuo Xiaoyou.
The first time he saw the left and right, King Wort's eyes lit up: what a beautiful gentleman.
The Kingdom of Walter has lived for more than forty years and has seen countless top handsome guys, but compared to Zuo Xiaoright, almost all of them will be overshadowed. Even if there is a beautiful boy who can match him in terms of appearance, he will be completely crushed in terms of temperament.
Not to mention the thick bookish atmosphere, the thick eyebrows and starry eyes like sharp swords brought three points of heroic aura to Zuo Xiaoyou.
Both civil and military.
This is the first impression that Zuo Xiaoyou gave to King Wort, and it feels very good.
On the other two sides, Princess Olina and Princess Fioya also had a very good first impression of Zuo Xiaoyou. King Wott did not hide the information about Zuo Xiaoyou from them, so they were also full of curiosity about Zuo Xiaoyou early on. Especially for Olena, who has the blood curse of the revenant soul in her body, the fire phoenix contracted by Zuo Xiaoyou is her life-saving straw, and if Zuo Xiaoyou, who has mastered the life-saving straw, saves her life, he is her life-saving benefactor. Whether it's out of gratitude or something else, her curiosity about Zuo Xiaoyou is the strongest. Though...... Zuo Xiaoyou doesn't seem to have any feelings for her beauty.
"Your Majesty, Rinca has brought his old friend Ullis, his student Zuo Xiaoyou, and Ullis's daughter Livia to return to his life." Just as the men looked at each other, Rinca stepped forward in time.
"The Great Sage has been working hard for Olina's curse for many days." King Wort retracted his gaze and staged a drama of getting along with the monarch and the minister, and the left and right people who watched wanted to close their eyes and doze off.
He doesn't like palace fights, officialdom and other intrigues, if he has enough ability, he will definitely find a small place, live a life of picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, and leisurely see Nanshan.
On Earth, he could only run around on the set every day in order to survive, and now that he came to the Holy Demon Continent, he felt that he had this ability. If you have the ability, why bother to look at other people's faces to live? Other people's intrigues are someone else's, and he wants to live his own little life.
"You're the left and right?" After the drama between the monarch and the minister, King Wart finally focused on Zuo Xiaoyou.
Zuo Xiaoyou made a mage salute: "Magic apprentice Zuo Xiaoright, I have seen Your Majesty." ”
"Magic apprentice? Hehe. King Walter smiled: "To you, the mage rank is meaningless, do you want me to order you to issue you a special magic god medal?" ”
Zuo Xiaoyou shook his head: "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, but you don't have to." The magician system has been established endlessly, and I don't want to change the system recognized on the mainland because of me. ”
King Wott's smile was much brighter: "Young people are rarely as uninterested in fame and fortune as you are. ”
"Maybe I'm from another world, so I'm like this!" Zuo Xiaoyou smiled back: "No matter what achievements I have achieved in this world, I have a dream-like unreality, if I can return to Earth in the future, everything here is meaningless." ”
These words made King Wart frown, and Livia, who had been silent, was even tighter in her heart, looking at Zuo Xiaoyou's side face, and clenching her pink fists: Brother Zuo...... Are you going to leave eventually?
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, Lin Ka coughed dryly and said, "Xiao You, you don't have to worry about going back, for now, let's lift the curse for Princess Olina!" ”
"Yes, Teacher." Zuo Xiaoyou nodded and summoned the fire phoenix. Under the amazed gaze of King Walt and others, Zuo Xiaoyou gave a little blood to the fire phoenix and gave it to Princess Olina. Olena swallowed the phoenix blood, and the red light on her delicate body suddenly flashed, and the sweat rained down, and when the light disappeared, the blood on her forehead was gone. The Revenant Blood Curse is lifted.
His daughter's curse was lifted, and the gloom that had been suppressed in his heart for more than a month disappeared, and King Walter was very happy: "Good! Left and right, you saved Olina's life, and this king is rewarded. Paused: "What do you want?" Whatever the king can give, he will give you. ”
"Don't dare." Zuo Xiaoyou said: "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, in fact, I will follow the teacher to El Senk this time, because the teacher said that there are many books in the royal family, I wonder if Your Majesty can let me watch it?" ”
"Oh?" Linka did not write about it in the letter, and King Walter turned his head to look at him.
Linca nodded silently.
King Wart smiled: "This is not difficult, but the palace collection of books is very precious, and this king cannot let you watch it without restrictions." Paused: "That's it! One month, this king can only give you one month. ”
One month? Zuo Xiaoyou thought for a moment and nodded: "One month is enough, thank you, Your Majesty." ”
"Hmm." King Wart took out a glass-colored hand card and said, "This is a pass to the palace library, let the great sage of Linca take you there!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zuo Xiaoyou took the cards in his hand and followed Linka to the palace library.
On the way to the library, Rinca asked, "Xiaoyou, do you really not care about power at all?" ”
Zuo Xiaoyou shook his head: "If there is no infinite magic, I still care a lot." ”
These words made Lin Ka stunned slightly, then chuckled, looked at him and shook his head: "You kid, you are so shrewd. ”
Zuo Xiaoyou smiled slightly and said: "There is such a saying on our earth: Don't treat others as fools, people who treat others as fools are real fools." ”
"Well......" Linka chewed, "It's very philosophical, but I underestimated the wisdom of the earth." ”
Zuo Xiaoyou smiled slightly: "Maybe it's because our world doesn't have magic and fighting spirit, so we pay more attention to intelligence." But there is not much need in this world, as long as there is enough strength, no conspiracy can succeed. ”
Linka smiled, "That's right." ”
Soon after, Linka brought Zuo Xiaoyou to the front of the palace library. This palace library is actually dozens of meters deep under the palace, and there are many cards along the way, and it is impossible to enter it without Linca and the king's hand. It can be seen that the collection of books in the library is indeed very precious, which makes Zuo Xiaoyou full of expectations.
Standing in front of the library, Linka said, "Okay, people who don't have a hand can't enter the library, I'll send you here, and I'll pick you up in a month." ”
Zuo Xiaoyou nodded and asked, "Where do the teacher, Teacher Ullis, and Livia live?" ”
"There is my mansion near the palace, and they live with me." Rinca said.
Zuo Xiaoyou nodded, and after watching Linka leave, he entered the library.
After entering the library, he saw the scene of countless bookshelves covering an area of more than 1,000 square meters, and the shelves were full of books.
The left and right heads are big, and it looks like there are at least hundreds of thousands of books in front of me, so when will I be able to finish it? One month is not enough!
After a moment of silence, Zuo Xiaoyou took out a book nearby and quickly flipped through the pages. Ten minutes later, Zuo Xiaoyou finished reading the last page, closed his eyes, and the images of each page of the book clearly appeared in his mind, very clearly.
The corners of his mouth curled, he opened his eyes, looked at the hundreds of thousands of books in front of him, and muttered, "One month...... It should be enough. ”
