Chapter 55: Don Quixote
In the large, empty and quiet library, Downton's eager voice could be heard far away.
"How do I get the borrowing qualification?
"That can only obtain some low-level permissions, and if you want to reach the middle and high levels, you need to contribute. Homer sincerely admonished, "The big library is not to make profits, but to let borrowers understand that any knowledge is priceless, wealth, liliang, and only the sweat and hard work that make you feel sorry for will you cherish the opportunity to read." ”
"Agreed!" Downton didn't ask in detail how to get the contribution, and now he is working hard to get the borrowing qualification.
"Book Elf, apply for a library card!" The magic book fell on the borrowing desk, and as soon as the text was projected, it was accepted.
There were two soft bangs, bangs, and two little elves with dragonfly wings appeared in the air, and their little matchstick-like arms hung down, each carrying a disc, and flew in front of Downton and Celesse.
Downton noticed that there was a pointer in the center of the disc, and the edge was engraved with dense ornate words, all of which were the names of literary masterpieces.
"Just touch it, good luck to you!" The voice of the book elf was cheerful and full of childlike play, they were the caretakers of the Great Library.
Downton flexed his middle finger and flicked the plate, and the hands spun like a windmill at once, and after a few breaths, stopped.
"Exam Title, Don Quixote. After the book elf announced, with a bang, a book appeared in his hand, and the pages of the book flipped violently, and a big bubblegum-like mouth came out, swallowing Downton.
"Downton!" Celes startled.
"Don't worry!" Homer hurriedly reassured her, the Death Banshee was so nervous that she raised her hand to release her magic and attack the Elven Administrator.
"Is it really okay?" said Serex, still uneasy.
"I promise, choose quickly!" urged Homer, who hated wasting time and that he couldn't hurt them.
Celestia absentmindedly touched the disc.
"Exam question, "Miserable Shijie"!"
There is also a book with a leather cover that swallows Celes.
Downton drew the ogre saber the moment it was swallowed by the bubble, but with a flash in front of him, he found himself standing in a Colosseum.
The stone walls around it were full of marks of knives and axes, and most of the seats in the stands were shattered, overflowing with the smell of loss of ancient ruins.
Crunchy!
The iron gate of the fence in the wall opened, and a small warhorse came out, dragging a thin knight with a spear in his hand, erected and placed on his right chest.
"It's not going to defeat this guy, is it?" Downton blessed himself with the three gods, and the corner of his eye glanced around, familiar with the battlefield.
Don Quixote didn't say hello and began to charge, but not very fast, and his body was still a little shaky, like a rookie who could not ride a horse yet.
Downton was not in a hurry, staring at the other side, trying to dodge when the spear was stabbed, but when Don Quixote rushed past him, the spear stabbed like thunder.
There was no time to dodge, and Downton's left shoulder was already speared, and he was knocked to the ground by the powerful impact.
This is a direct attack to the soul, so although Downton did not bleed, the pain did not reduce in the slightest, and the pain made his head break out in a cold sweat.
The horse stopped in front of the wall, and Don Quixote shook the reins, causing the horse to turn around and speed up with the trot.
Downton endured the pain and got up, clenching his saber, he knew that he couldn't dodge the attack at all, so it was better to just carry it hard and exchange the wound for the injury.
Don Quixote rushed through and stabbed out his spear, leaving only a barely catchable afterimage in Downton's field of vision.
With his legs moving as hard as a mountain, Downton's arm swung sharply, and his saber slashed horizontally, but the moment before he touched Don Quixote, he was pierced through the chest by a spear and nailed to the ground.
Downton gritted his teeth, stunned and didn't scream, the pain that tore through his body made his muscles twitch.
The spear was condensed with magical energy, and it was gone without Downton pulling it out, leaving no wounds, but in the soul, it was a heavy blow enough to die.
"You must get up!" Listening to the rapid footsteps of the war horse, Downton understood that Don Quixote's third charge was coming.
"The courage is good, and the decision is also very decisive, but it's a pity that the rank is too low. ”
The famous book "Don Quixote" is suspended in the air, and the fist-sized book elf sits on it with his hands on his chest, looking at the Colosseum, admiring Downton's determination and boldness.
Downton's right leg was once again struck by the spear, but he also managed to leave a shallow mark on the horse's armor.
Six rounds passed, and Downton was able to maintain his standing position with his saber, but he stared at Don Quixote who rushed again and did not give up.
"He didn't seem to mean to kill me, yes, Homer said that the Great Library is a place of study, not a gladiatorial arena for human life, so even if I exchange injuries for injuries, I will not die. Downton suddenly realized, "I guess it depends on how long I can last, right?"
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, he was once again pinned to the ground like a fish.
"Huh, neither of them has been blasted out yet?" Homer looked at the time hourglass, with Downton's unyielding character and IQ, it exceeded expectations, and it was possible, but Celes was not blasted out of the game, which really surprised it.
In the tenth round, facing the charging knight, Downton took the initiative to meet him.
Don Quixote stabbed his spear, and without incident, pierced Downton's chest.
"Give it to me!" The great pain tore at the nerves, and Downton bit the corner of his mouth at once, but he endured it, and his legs sprinted forward in an instant.
With his ribcage running over the spear, Downton quickly approached the knight, slashing across his saber in his left hand and drawing his warrior's dagger at his waist with swift right hand.
The saber was knocked away by Don Quixote, but the dagger managed to stab the knight's armor in the waist, bursting with a large number of sparks, and then brushed its belly.
After all, the weapon is too bad to break the defense.
The horse ran by, and Downton fell to his knees, struggling, trying to get up, but he couldn't use any strength, so he could only let Don Quixote charge again, and then he was hit and completely fainted.
The book elf stood up and applauded, the significance of this exam is to make the borrower's soul taste great pain, so as to remember that the price of entering the big library is very heavy, and the opportunity is not easy to come by, so it should be cherished.
What Don Quixote had to do was keep attacking until Downton's nerves couldn't bear it anymore and he was blasted out of the Colosseum.
The book elf has presided over so many borrowing eligibility exams, and Downton is the first, bravely fighting back at the beginning, and encountering Don Quixote's borrowers the most times.
If it weren't for the fact that the weapon was too bad to be added, maybe it would really make him hurt Don Quixote, as for killing, then there was no need to think about it, because the rank difference was too much, and if Mr. Knight broke out with all his strength, it would be enough to kill Downton in seconds.
When Downton woke up, he had a splitting headache.
"It's good, I've got E-class clearance, which is one level higher than I expected. The Grimoire praised that after listening to the book elves' description of the Colosseum, it was more satisfied with its new owner.
"Is she alright?" Downton saw Celes lying next to him, a little worried.
"Relax, the Great Library doesn't kill people, and this attack on the soul is also equivalent to a baptism, haven't you found that the soul seed is a little more condensed?"
"What level of authority is she?" Downton pondered as he still had to prepare a few good weapons, the torn dragon teeth were too heavy to defend himself at any time.
"Class F. "The Grimome is a little proud, the candidates it recommended didn't disgrace it, you have to know their names, but they will stay on the list of entrance exam scores.
"How many levels are there?Is the E-class a lot of power?" Downton was excited, "What books can I borrow?
"Third to last!"
Poof, Downton almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, and his face suddenly collapsed.
"Be content, this permission already allows you to stay in the library for ten days at a time. Homer knew that Downton must be asking, so he popularized science in advance, "That is to say, the ratio of time flow between the Western Earth Continent and the library is one to ten. ”
"One day in the West Continent, ten days have passed here?" Downton felt incredulous when he heard Homer's affirmative reply, "Doesn't that mean I can have more study time than the others?"
"Yes!" added Homer, "but there is a limit to the number of times you can enter, only once a week." ”
"That's a lot, it's equivalent to a month, thirty-six days more than others, and it's a lot of money. Downton laughed, but soon frowned again, enough to kill a crab.
"You're saying that your body will grow faster than anyone else, right?" With Homer's wisdom, it was easy to deduce what Downton was worried about.
"Well, I don't want to be old, my sister is still young, and if that's the case, I'd rather not come. Downton was depressed.
"The power of the Great Library, even if your imagination breaks through the sky, you still can't imagine that when you get the E-level permission, the speed of time in your body has been constant, and in the library, your body is growing according to the time of the Western Earth Continent. ”
"So powerful?" Downton was surprised, "what the hell is this place?"
"This is the power of the law, as for the location of the Great Library, I don't know, but it should be in a higher main matter plane. Homer was calm, "As your strength increases, your horizons will continue to broaden and you will see more incredible things." ”
"In that case, can I cultivate here?" Downton kept complaining about the lack of time.
"Daydreaming, there is no magic energy here, how can you cultivate? Even if you bring in magic drills that are higher than magic stones, as long as you use them, they will quickly overflow. Homer dismissed Downton's luck a little, "This is the big library, it's for you to learn knowledge, that's all, don't have unrealistic ideas." ”
