On the third day of the first month of the cold season, the 8th apprentice town. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On this day, Ingres got up early, got up, freshened up, and wore a well-tailored black gentleman's outfit.

In the mirror, the little boy suddenly turned into an elegant aristocratic fan, with a high nose bridge, thin lips, blue eyes as deep as the blue sea, and a slightly messy but funny short golden hair. Usually when he doesn't do much, he can already attract everyone's attention, and when he starts to pay attention to his appearance, he is even more handsome and eye-catching.

"It always feels like something is missing. "If there are outsiders here, they must already feel perfect, and the temperament, dress, and appearance are all top-notch. But Ingres himself was somewhat dissatisfied.

At this moment, there was a chirping sound outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and Ingres walked over and opened the window, and the fresh air wafted into the room. Along with the outside air, there is also a seabird wearing the same black gentleman's outfit, Toby.

Toby circled around Angels' room before landing on top of Angels' head.

One big and one small just stared in the mirror, looking at each other.

The same clothes, the same confused expression, the same posture......

"I know what's missing, a hat is missing!" Ingres looked at Toby's small body in the mirror in his golden retriever, and immediately recalled the fear of being dominated by Toby's head on the cloud whale.

There was a market in the apprentice town, and there were vendors in the nearby villages and towns who had been stationed in the market for a long time, and Ingres soon bought a solid black high-legged oval-brimmed hat at a special hat stall.

Angel took Toby and hurried home.

Along the way, Angel gained a lot of attention. Appearance, dress, and the equally cute Toby, the combination of the three is very eye-catching. However, this is limited to the attention of ordinary people, and the wizard apprentice Angel has not met one, and it is estimated that he is all nested in the basement for experiments, and he rarely comes out when he has nothing to do.

Driving Toby away from his hair, Angels put on a black high hat, which made her temperament more elegant, with a dark red bow tie and white silk lining, making Angels more mysterious in elegance and handsomeness.

Today he was going to that guy.

As a sign of respect, Ingres naturally wanted to be at his best.

Moreover, Flora also told Ingres: "He is a very wise elder, but he is a bit rigid and likes to be a very well-behaved person." If you're going to meet him, remember to dress more formally. ”

Even if Flora didn't say it, Ingres would have pampered himself, and he didn't want to forget the glory of the lionheart carved into his bones because he was obsessed with supernatural power.

"The fire of the Lionheart will never be extinguished. "The buttons on the gentleman's uniform are the coat of arms of the Pat family: the lionheart. This dress Ingres actually wore for the first time, and was originally intended to be worn by his brother when he was knighted, but he didn't expect that before Leon inherited the title, he turned a corner halfway, left the old land continent, and came to the legendary prosperous continent alone.

Angel silently recited the family motto, and the young man in the mirror seemed to have an extra temperament at this moment, which was responsibility and leniency.

"Let's go, Toby. I've heard that the elder is the most knowledgeable in the Southern Regions, and maybe he can help you find your way to evolution. "Angels went this time, not only for himself, but also for Toby.

Although Grea just asked him to take care of Toby, Toby has already embarked on the road of transcendence after all, and in the past few months of getting along, Angel and Toby have also formed a deep friendship, so Angel takes this opportunity and hopes to find a way for Toby.

Stepping out of the 8th Apprentice Town, Ingres didn't have long to walk before he saw a green vine ladder falling from the sky, connecting the foliage platform at a height of ten meters.

After Ingres climbed to the platform, it didn't take long for the tree vine bus to slowly drive away.

On the bus, Ingres quietly pondered the key points of "spiritual power" in his heart.

When he sensed his spiritual power, he really took the first step of transcendence.

There are three steps to step out of the transcendental, the first step is to sense the spiritual power, the second step is to control the spiritual power, and the third step is to build the mental power model. Once the mental power model is constructed, it can be called a first-level apprentice, and Abuli is currently at this stage.

Not long after pondering, Ingres was awakened by a burst of cheers.

Looking out through the carriage, it turned out to be the center of the Tree Spirit Garden, and a huge square was suddenly illuminated by sunlight.

The branches and leaves of the Eternal Tree are huge, completely blocking the sunlight, and the Tree Spirit Garden, located below the Eternal Tree, is dark all year round. Occasionally, the sun shines, but it's all broken light from the cracks.

Today, the central square, which covers several kilometers, is completely exposed to the sun. The golden sunlight shines on the ground like gold dust all over the ground.

Angel looked up into the air and saw that the hundred-meter-long leaves that were blocking the square had all rolled up.

"It seems that Lord Dryad is very merciful and ready to show the light to the people below. Ingres said to himself.

But is it worth cheering? If you want to bask in the sun, you can just take a vine bus to the leaves of the Eternal Tree.

Angel retracted his gaze a little strangely, so he didn't see that in the middle of the central square of the Tree Spirit Garden, a crack suddenly opened, and the cheering apprentices poured into the crack one after another.

After 20 minutes, Ingres arrived at the destination platform.

On the small platform, Ingres stands alone, and there is a three-meter-high metal sign below the platform, which reads: "Cloud Library Platform".

The bottom end of the metal sign stands on the clouds.

Well, that's right, it's the clouds.

The platform was not on the leaves, but in the thick clouds, and the touch coming from the soles of Ingres' feet was a bit like stepping on soft mud.

This is the product of "cloud earth", a special material that reacts with clouds.

This cloud land is very vast, and Ingres is on the platform, and he can see the huge library that shines with golden light and is incomparably brilliant not far away!

The elder Ingres was looking for was in the largest library in this savage cavern!

The library is huge and there are a lot of people. People are like black ants in comparison with the library, densely packed.

The reason why the platform was empty was because the others flew up, and just as Ingres was stunned, a middle-aged witch wearing a blue wizard's coat and a star-moon wizard hat galloped past him on a broomstick.

As Ingres approached the library, he could feel the majesty of the splendor even more. It's like a church with a true God, and people can't help but be in awe and worship. But Ingres knows that the temperament exuded by the cloud library is not the awe of religious ceremonies, but the awe of knowledge and truth.

Along the way, everyone had a faint respect on their faces, and no one even spoke.

With this solemn emotion, Ingres also walked into the library.

The interior of the library is very large, and it is clear that the magic pattern of the extended space is used. The collection is divided into 8,329 areas, as Ingres sees on the map at the door. Depending on your needs, you can teleport to different blocks.

Of course, the principle of equivalent exchange is also followed here. Whether it's teleporting or renting books, you need to spend contribution points, and basically the apprentices' hard-earned contribution points are consumed here.

Ingres remembered that Flora had said that the elder seemed to be in the 7920-7930 area lately, working on some kind of energy conversion topic.

Angel chooses a teleportation array with no one and prepares to teleport to Area 7920. Aimlessly, he decided to look for them one area at a time.

When the bone card swipes through the teleportation array, a number pops up: 100 contributions.

Angel's eyes widened instantly when he saw this contribution point, he just saw an apprentice teleported to a certain area, obviously only 1 point of contribution?

When Angel was about to cry without tears, someone behind him urged him to hurry away.

There are thirty teleportation arrays in the library, and they are full at the moment. Angel was also embarrassed to delay, gritted his teeth and spent this contribution point.

When he came to Area 7920, Angel was still very distressed about this contribution point.

Angel thought that an area would be about ten meters in size at most, but what he didn't expect was that the internal space of an area was extremely large, seemingly more than 100 meters long and wide, filling the major bookshelves, and at a glance, the collection of books here was more than a hundred times more than Sanders's library!

Angel casually glanced at a book on a nearby shelf: "How to Use the Super Magnetic Cannon".

Angel put the bone card next to the book, and the bone card immediately jumped on the rental fee: 300,000 contributions.

300,000 contribution points......

Angel only has a total of 10,000 contribution points, and a book here is 300,000! Compared to 3,000 magic crystals, it is simply sky-high, and it is estimated that few apprentices can have such a huge deposit.

It is estimated that the audience in this area is official wizards.

If it's an official wizard's area, then Angel somewhat understands why the teleportation fee is 100 points. This is setting up a doorrail for wizard apprentices, and with the speed at which wizard apprentices make money, they will definitely not waste contribution points on this.

No wonder Ingres looked at the place, it was empty, and there was no one in sight.

Angel walked along the midline of the area, looking all the way, hoping to find the elder that Flora had spoken of.

However, searching the 7920 area, Angel didn't see anyone.

Angel could only walk back to the waypoint and prepare to take a look at Area 7921.

The 7921 area teleportation fee is still 100 contributions.

However, the 100 points of contribution that Ingres bit his lip and cried in the end were still empty.

7922, 7923, 7924, and found 3 areas in a row, spending 300 points to contribute, and it was still the same, not to mention the elder, and even the other figures were not seen.

When Angel was about to go to Area 7925, the teleportation fee had risen to 300 points!

Angel only felt dizzy, thinking about leaving, and felt unwilling. In the end, he gritted his teeth and passed to Area 7925 with a sad face.

Upon arriving in the area, Angels searched for the person as before. Halfway through the walk, Angels suddenly noticed that at the end of his right hand there was a bookshelf of a different color from the others, shining with a faint silver light.

Curious, Angel walked over.

Found that the books on the shelves were all alchemy-related books?!

Alchemical Manuscript – Energy Stabilizer.

This is an alchemy manuscript for making an 'energy stabilizer', and Ingres remembers that he had seen the method of making an 'energy stabilizer' in the warden's secret room in the prison ladder where he had filmed a book of "Basic Alchemy Fundamentals of Elementary Alchemy". It seems to be a very basic alchemy utensil.

Why is the color of this bookshelf silver-white, is it because it contains alchemy-related books? Angel scratched the "Alchemy Manuscript - Energy Stabilizer" with the bone card, and when he saw the numbers displayed on the bone card, his heart thumped.

"Rental fee: 1.1 million contribution points. ”

1.1 million contribution points?!

In the "Basic Collection of Primary Alchemy" recorded by Angels, there are nearly a thousand production methods of basic alchemy tools, and the energy stabilizer is only the most basic one.

And this most basic one is taken out alone and the rental price is more than one million, which is tens of thousands of magic crystals! Angel couldn't believe his eyes.

If this pricing is followed, wouldn't the "Elementary Alchemy Basic Collection" have more than 100 million contribution points?

"Elementary Alchemy Basic Collection" is just one of the alchemy books recorded by Angel, other intermediate alchemy, advanced alchemy and even some special alchemy, if you take it out, the price is really unimaginable!

"I didn't expect the book of alchemy to be so precious. Ingres muttered in a low voice, so it seems that he is actually an invisible rich man...... It's just that he didn't dare to take out the recorded alchemy books and sell them, just as Jon taught that "the puffer is not guilty, but he is guilty", before his own wings are full, the alchemy books are taken out and sold in exchange for not money, but a self-cutting sword.

"It's not okay to sell, but he can learn. Ingres secretly thought that there were ready-made teaching materials, and they were gradual, and it was really tyrannical not to learn.

However, learning alchemy still has to be further down the line, and his main task now is to enter the circle of transcendents and successfully advance to apprenticeship. Everything else is going to be back.

Angel left the silver-white bookshelf and continued his search for someone.

Just when Ingres thought that there was still no drama in this area, suddenly, he found that in a corner, there was an old man who appeared and disappeared from time to time, like a soul, was sitting in front of a desk, writing and drawing.

Looking at the strange old man, Ingres's eyes lit up.

"Found it!"

......

There are three ancestral spirits in the Barbarian Cave: the dryad spirit of the Eternal Tree, the mirror of the mirror world in the mirror world, and one more, who is the old man in front of him.

——The most erudite in the Southern Regions, the wise man of the cloud library, and the old scholar.

The old scholar is also an eternal phantom spirit, he is wise and calm, more than 50% of the books in the entire cloud library are written or edited by it, and it is rumored to be a true spirit born in an ancient book, so the most diagnostic and most cherished is the book.

He never left the world in the mirror, and rarely even left the Cloud Library, but even so, he still earned the title of 'the most learned in the Southern Regions'.

However, erudition and specialization are two different things, erudition is knowing a lot of things, and specialization is constantly deepening and digging in a certain field. There is no difference between the two, but for wizards, it is definitely necessary to specialize.

Shu Lao knows a lot of things, and many of the special skills of wizards are passed down from Shu Lao, and Shu Lao has even instructed legendary wizards. So, Flora recommended the book to Ingres.

When Ingres approached the old man and saw that he had been writing something, he could not be disturbed, so he had to stand aside and wait.

That's ten hours.

Angel's feet were numb, and the old scholar still had no intention of stopping.

Toby used to squat on Ingres' left shoulder, then changed to his right shoulder, then ran to his hat, and finally fell asleep and was placed in Ingre's chest pocket.

It was already getting dark outside, and Angel tentatively shouted softly, "Scholar?"

The old scholar was still buried in his head, and his face flashed with thoughts and considerations from time to time, and he didn't mean to pay attention to Angel at all.
