In the quaint hourglass, the transparent and colorless sand of time fell down one by one, as if there was no end.

"Take this as a contract, swear!"

As the vows of the five people fell, the hourglass fluctuated slightly, and the five grains of sand glowing with brilliance disappeared suddenly, and an invisible oath entangled.

The Mirror of Eternity on Simon's earlobe fluctuated slightly, and the Oath of Time, which had been bound towards Simon, suddenly changed direction and was absorbed by the Mirror of Eternity. Although he didn't intend to break the oath, he was still very resistant to letting an unknown object get on his body.

Seeing that the oath was completed, the gray-robed man wearing a pocket watch waved his sleeves, and the sand of time on the table disappeared without a trace.

He said indifferently, "Okay, you can go." In the future, the daily lessons will naturally be displayed on the floating disk, and you can choose for yourself. ”

As soon as the words fell, the man flicked open the pocket watch cover on his chest and disappeared directly in front of them.

"Who are these people?" complained the young girl again, "I thought it would be more fun here, but I didn't expect it to be a bunch of boring weirdos, and I wouldn't have come if I knew they wouldn't come." ”

Simon didn't bother to pay attention to her complaints, this opportunity was rare, and he naturally had to seize the time to learn better.

He glanced at the map displayed on the floating disk, and walked directly to the library according to the instructions, although it showed that there would be Archmage Grimm to explain the super magic technique soon, and the opportunity was so rare that the floating disk was marked on it.

But Simon has no intention of going to see it, he doesn't know their spell system at all, this kind of skill is very advanced at first glance, and it is useless for him, it is better to go to the library to have a look, maybe there will be a big gain.

After all, in the novels and movies, the mages are a group of profound scholars, and they believe that their collection of books can allow them to learn a lot of knowledge that they have never known.

Seeing Simon get up and leave, Best looked at the three girls here, his face turned red after brushing, and in a panic, he quickly got up and followed, after all, compared to getting along with girls, he felt that this cold Mr. Simon was more reliable and more comfortable.

Dozens of minutes later, Simon looked at the huge library with satisfaction, feeling that he had made the right decision.

The library of the Arcane Retreat is very large, much larger than the National Library of Nuorondo, and although it looks like a small library from the outside, the space inside is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Simon strode up the spiral staircase, looking at the shelves full of books in front of him, and roughly estimated that there would not be hundreds of thousands of books inside.

He reached out and gently stroked the books, pulled out a book casually, flipped through a few pages, and although he could understand every word, he didn't understand what it meant at all.

He casually shoved back the latest issue of the book called Biomolecular Science, with no expression on his face, not at all showing that he didn't understand these things in the slightest.

This is a bit inconsistent with what he imagined, why are most of the books here some academic journal books, biology, physics, mathematics and a lot of messy things, but there are not many spell books in the right way, this group of mages is really advancing with the times!

Simon has already made up his mind to study hard when he goes back, since these things can be placed here, he naturally has his value, and even such a powerful mage organization is studying, and there is no reason for him to fall behind.

These are the greatest essence of a civilization, and it is well worth studying.

In the past, when he didn't cultivate, he could still understand by ignoring this valuable knowledge, but now time is no big problem for him, and he must not forgive himself for missing this knowledge again.

It's just that this is not the time to learn them, and there are more important things to do right now.

Simon walked through the spiral staircase and went straight up to the second floor. As if passing through a bubble, he felt a resistance preventing him from entering the second layer, but as a force swept through him, the resistance dissipated, and his eyes darkened slightly, and he entered the second layer.

Simon looked behind him, and could only see one entrance, not downstairs at all.

"Space expansion, space transfer? This kind of ability, which only has opened up the Cave Void True Monarch, is actually randomly fixed in a library, it seems that my evaluation of this secret law hermitage will be further improved!"

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he muttered to himself. However, he didn't feel that what he had learned in his previous life was not as good as others, but he just clearly recognized the advantages of others.

On the second floor, a faint light shines through from the top floor, like the sun during the day, neither dazzling nor dim, making it a very comfortable place to read a book.

On the second floor, there were six or seven members of the Secret Dharma Society quietly flipping through books, constantly memorizing or thinking, and from time to time someone took out notes and excerpted them.

He paused in front of each bookcase for a moment, and then it felt like a library organized by a mage.

"On the Difference Between Wizards and Mages", "A Guide to Common Demonized Creatures", "The Art of Fire: On the Ways of Casting the Extreme Five Fireballs", and "Memo of Archmage Merlin's Affair", these books are only as he imagined them to be.

After Simon turned around, there were three thick leather books in his hand, and he directly found the source position and sat down to look at it.

Wow!

The sound of the pages opening slowly echoed in the empty library, and Simon quickly flipped through the book "On the Difference Between Wizards and Mages" in his hand, and many of the questions in his heart were gradually answered.

Simon gradually became obsessed with the knowledge in the book, and before he knew it, he was turning the pages faster and faster, and at the end, after only four or five seconds of reading each page, he would quickly turn to the next page.

The sound of turning the pages of the book became faster and faster, and gradually, more and more mage apprentices looked over, they didn't say anything, just watched him coldly finish a book quickly, and their eyes were a little strange.

Best sat across from Simon, his head sticking out more and more as he looked at him.

He tugged at Simon's sleeve and whispered, "Mr. Simon, everyone is watching you." ”

Hearing this, Simon easily turned the last page of the book in his hand and replaced it with another one, and then said indifferently, "They can read it if they want, what does it have to do with me?"

"Of course it matters, I don't know which master's apprentice you are, how come I never met you in the meeting. At this moment, a man with gold-rimmed eyes walked over and asked Simon directly.

Simon didn't raise his head and said directly, "I'm not from your Secret Law Hermitage Society, I came here to study from the Special Bureau. ”

The man suddenly realized, and said with some sarcasm in his tone, "In that case, please don't make too much noise in the library, so as not to affect our learning." ”

Simon didn't react to this, and continued to go about his course.

Seeing that Simon did not react to his words, the man's face was a little ugly, and he couldn't help but sneer, "Can you understand this book? If you don't understand it, don't bother us here, I'm afraid you don't even know the words on it!"

Simon closed the book, raised his head to stare at the man in front of him, pointed to the writing and said word by word, "Phil Edin, the title of the book is "The Basic Method of Meditation", by Nistra, right?"

He had taught himself a variety of ancient languages in the Mystic Society's forums, and that's it

But it didn't bother him at all.

The man looked at the cover Simon pointed to, his face instantly turned red, he stayed for a few seconds, gritted his teeth slightly, and suddenly bowed slightly to Simon and said, "I'm sorry, it's my ignorance that bothers you." ”

With that, he quickly left the second floor. This Phil Edin can be regarded as one of the more difficult ancient texts to learn, he has not yet mastered it thoroughly, and now there is a big ugly man, and he is really embarrassed to stay any longer.

Simon was expressionless about this, turning to the latest page and continuing to look as if what had just happened had no effect on him.

Best looked at Simon with admiration, and felt that he was so handsome just now, if only he could be as calm as him at any time.

In the afternoon, when the sun was about to set, Simon got up from his seat, he had read a whole seventeen books in one day, and a great deal of knowledge about the basics of magic had been imprinted in his mind, which would greatly enlighten his future path.

At night.

After eating, Simon went straight back to his dorm room and collapsed on the bed, his mind constantly recalling what he had seen about meditation today. A large number of ideas collided and reverberated in his mind, creating new sparks of wisdom. He couldn't wait to prove his idea.

Early the next morning, Simon arrived at the library early, constantly shuttling between the shelves, looking for books that would help him.

Best didn't come with me today, because there was a transfiguration mage class today, and he was going to sit in and see if he could learn something new.

Time passed like this, Simon had been immersed in the library for almost five days, and for so many days, with the help of the Mirror of Eternity, he had memorized about one-fifth of the contents of the books on the second floor, which he might use later, anyway, it never hurt to know more things.

In the Mystic Retreat, quite a few mage apprentices are also aware of his existence.

In private, many people said that there was a scholar from the Special Bureau, who came to them to smash the field, after all, it seems that the chairman of his own family said that the people in the Special Bureau are a bunch of idiots, and they can only fight and tremble, and they don't have any brains.

Now, someone has come to a special school, just to find the field.

In short, Simon's popularity in the arcane retreat gradually increased, and many people knew about his existence, and he would be looked at twice even when he was walking on the road.

But most of them didn't react in any particular way, due to the arrogance of the mage, and they all just waited quietly to see what else he could do, which would add a little fun to this peaceful life.
