003: Light in a desperate situation!
Roshi, who was stunned in place, opened his mouth, and after a while, he came to his senses.
It's really... A vivid lesson...
Shaking his head, Roshi turned and continued on his way.
After saying hello to Wizard Maury, Roshi took one of the badges he had given him, and went to the bookstore, where two tall knights' armor stood in front of the door, and after handing them the badges, they put away their swords and opened the door for Roshi.
Compared to other wizards, the bookroom of the well-used Wizard Maury is a little more tidy, with only a dozen books stacked on the dragon-patterned wooden table in the middle, many wizards never put books back on the shelves, and the reading tables are always piled up like a hill, and some even knock over the entire bookshelf in order to find a book, scattered all over the floor.
There are only about thirty servants in the tower, but there are more than a hundred wizards who need to be cleaned, and the division of labor between them in the tower is a rotation system, and Roshi has of course been to every wizard's residence.
It only took a few minutes for Roshi to clean up the bookstore, and began to take down the books on the shelves one by one, clean up the dust on them, and put them back again.
Every time he cleaned a few books, he would stop, subconsciously glance at the door, then turn his back and quickly flip through the books, a pair of eyes will always be full of agility that does not match his actual age.
After arriving in this world, Roshi unexpectedly discovers that he actually has a very special ability - the legendary Eyesight.
He didn't know where this ability came from, he thought that maybe it was related to his soul, because he had read in a book before that the soul is a very special substance, and everything he has seen will actually be imprinted in it, as long as he finds a suitable method, he can dig it out.
Relying on this special talent, every time Roshi cleaned the wizard's bookstore, he would quietly take a quick look at it, and then go back and select the content that involved changing his physique and read it carefully.
Every time he flips through it, he does it in the process of cleaning, cleaning a few books and secretly reading one, and accurately estimating the time, after all, it doesn't take too long to clean a bookstore.
Although the efficiency is very slow, it is not easy to be detected, and the dangerous situation has only been encountered once, and I am still a little scary when I think about it now.
A wizard happened to enter the room just as he was about to flip through it, and he hurriedly slammed the book on the ground as if his hand was slipping, although in exchange for a reprimand, but it was not discovered, otherwise the anger of a wizard was far from what he could bear.
Relying on this stupid method, in the past three months, he has recorded a lot of knowledge in the wizard's bookstore, and two of the wizard's bookstores that have traveled abroad have been browsed by him, and Luo Xi roughly calculated, accounting for about 30% of the total.
These books of wizards cover a wide range of knowledge, including the humanities, geography, history, plants, creatures, and even ancient languages and writings of the Dragon Wing Continent.
Time slipped by inadvertently, and by the time the sunlight shone through the glass windows on the clean tiled floor, Roshi ended his day's work.
After exiting the bookstore, Roshi greeted Wizard Maury, returned to his room, ate some oatmeal porridge, and went to the terrace, recalling today's receipt while slowly doing radio gymnastics.
He didn't know how much it would do to improve the body of the rotten wood, but now he was willing to try anything that would allow him to live longer.
Flowers have a re-blooming day, no one is young, time is like a white horse passing through the gap, half a year will pass in a flash.
In the past six months, he has basically recorded all the books in the wizard's bookstore.
In fact, in the Black Tower, which has been passed down for thousands of years, there are more wizards than that, but most of them are traveling, and not everyone among them is willing to let outsiders enter the bookstore in their absence, and some wizards are so suspicious that even the Black Tower can't be fully trusted.
The more knowledge he browsed, the heavier Roshi became, not because he hadn't found a way to change his fate, but in fact he had found it, and there was more than one.
By taking some special plants and devouring the tissues of certain animals, he can successfully form a seed of strength with a physique like him.
But without exception, these animals and plants only have a name and illustrated book in the wizard's books, and there is no detailed explanation of where to get them, only two books vaguely mention one or two place names, but Roshi searched through the map of the Dragon Wing Continent and found no similar place.
The body is getting weaker and weaker.
A month ago, I accidentally fell and fell seriously ill, and I lay in bed for a week, relying on a little oatmeal to survive.
Roshi almost thought that he was afraid that he would not be able to survive, the feeling at that time was too uncomfortable, weak, unconscious, unable to sleep, and unable to wake up.
In the end, it was the tower who gave him a little 'vitality magic liquid', which narrowly escaped him from this biggest crisis.
Don't think it's their mercy.
The reason why he was so generous suddenly was only because Roshi had asked them not long ago to change his remuneration.
Yes.
Roshi is not from this world, there is no point in sending the body back after death, and he does not want to die, and of course this part of the fruits of labor must be re-evaluated.
The wizards of the Black Tower all respect the principle of equivalent exchange, so when Roshi made this request, he was gladly agreed by them, of course, Roshi felt that it was because his labor was too cheap.
It was a small test-tube vitality potion the size of his little finger that would offset most of his labor, and Roshi was expecting to find a way to plant the magic seed in exchange for it, but then he realized that it was simply whimsical.
With a simple cane, Roshi climbed the stairs with difficulty, and this time the waist pole was completely unable to straighten up after being sick, and without the crutches, Roshi couldn't even stand.
Today is the time to clean the Wizard of Achiru's bookshop, which is the only one he hasn't finished reading, and if he can't find any answers here, then Roshi reckons that he can pick a cemetery this week.
The function of this body has already reached its limit, otherwise the original owner would not have died, and Roshi is all supported by the willpower to survive at this time.
This staircase leads to the sixth classroom, where children under the age of five years of wizarding and entering the tower receive a free lesson every month, paid by the Black Tower, and the apprentices teach them some of the basics of wizarding.
Today happened to be the day of class, and when Roch climbed up, many young people were walking past him with brisk steps, talking to each other about various topics.
"Hey, Jack, have you heard? Wizard Elan and Wizard Karina are back!"
On the third day after Karina left the customs, she left the tower with another official wizard, and it was not clear what she was doing Roshi, but the wizard's whereabouts were always mysterious.
"Is that the youngest wizard the Black Tower has ever seen?"
"Yes, she's only in her 80s, it's unbelievable, and I'll be happy if I can become an official wizard before I turn 200. ”
"I have no ambition, 200 years old, I don't want to be at the bottom of our group of children!"
This group of young people, who had just come into contact with the wizarding world for a short time, did not yet know the cruelty of this world, and this spirit would not be forgotten by them until decades later.
"Don't talk about that, do you know what the two wizards are doing this time?"
"Aren't you going on a trip?"
"What do you want, if it's a trip, can you come back so soon?"
The topic of the young man's conversation caught Roshi's attention, and Roshi was also curious about what they were talking about.
Wizards have traveled for decades or hundreds of years, and some of the wizards have been out for a long time when the original owner of this body came to the tower, and now he has grown from a young child to a silver-haired old man, and has not yet returned.
"Do you know that?"
"Hey, that's right. The young man smiled mysteriously: "This is first-hand information, do you want to know?"
Roshi noticed that the talking boy was wearing a brown kaftan with a pattern of a giant bear embroidered with black silk thread on his neckline, which Roshi had seen in a book, which was the exclusive insignia of the royal family of the Tyke Empire, which was one of the most powerful countries in the Dragon Wing Continent.
"Say it quickly. ”
After receiving the reply from his companion, the young man coughed lightly twice, straightened his face, and put on a cold look, as if he was imitating a certain wizard, and said with a straight look: "Then, according to the principle of equivalent exchange, this apprentice, what price are you prepared to pay for this news?"
"Die!" his companion threw a punch.
"Alright! alright!" the boy raised his hands in surrender, and continued, "I heard that the two wizards were actually just going to the Northlands to pick up an item this time, do you know the 'Strange Baby Heart'?"
Roshi, who was trying to climb, shook violently.
"What's that?"
"I don't know exactly what it is, but I've heard that with that thing, it's very easy to create a power seed. ”
Roshi took a soft breath.
It's not just easy!
As long as you eat that thing, no matter how bad your talent is, you can directly create a power seed!
