The next day, Jiarong followed Fuqiu Ruier to the White Tower Library.

The white pagoda is octagonal, and a small corner tower is built on each side of the east, west, south and north. They entered from the corner tower due south, which was a registration room, with a spiral staircase next to it to go upstairs.

After entering the main building, Jia Rong's eyes widened in surprise.

Because she saw rows of bookshelves, and neat rows of books.

She felt that with this library alone, it was the right decision for the old mage to send her here to study. Although the old mage has a lot of experience and can teach herself a lot of techniques, where can she find so many books to show herself? She has memorized all the twenty books in the old mage's collection many times.

There are thousands of books on the first floor of the White Tower, and the White Tower has seven floors.

Seeing the girl beside her looking dumbfounded, Fu Qiu Rui'er smiled slightly, and she whispered in Jiarong's ear: "The books here can be read casually, the corner tower on the west side is a small reading room for our mage academy, and the east and north sides are for the students of the Knight Academy. You can also borrow books and take them to the classroom or dormitory to read, and you can register them in the registration room where you just entered. ”

The first time he came to the library, Jiarong borrowed a copy of "The Biography of King Qingyang Weide".

The deacon who manages the library is very familiar with Rui'er, and he helps Rui'er and Jiarong register with a smile.

After returning to the classroom, Jiarong compared the records in the book with the stories and poems she had heard before, and found that there were true and false, false and true, which was very enjoyable.

"Jiarong, I'm going to have dinner with my uncle today, and you can go back by yourself later. Fu Qiu Rui'er beside her was packing up her things and talking softly to Jiarong.

"Rui'er, don't worry, I already remember the way. Jiarong looked up from the book, "You go and eat with your uncle, don't worry about me." ”

Rui'er is a good girl with a gentle personality and a strong sense of responsibility. Since I took over the task of "guiding the way" yesterday, I have been doing my best to accompany myself and bring myself to familiarize myself with the study and life of the temple. Jiarong is very grateful to her.

"Well, then I'm leaving. After Fuqiu Rui'er packed up her things, she waved at Jiarong and walked out quickly. She walked lightly, but not slowly.

Because she still has a lot of work to do in the afternoon.

She had to go to her uncle's kitchen to see the menu arranged by the cook, then go to the wine cellar to see how the plum wine was fermented, and then see if the boots she had ordered for her uncle last time had been delivered, and whether they were the right size......

It's not that she cares a lot, it's just that except for the cook, who is a woman, the others are all men, and they are all very careless. In addition, because of her uncle's nurturing grace, she had nothing to repay and could only help with some small things. She knew that her uncle had adopted her and caused gossip. There were rumors outside that she was his illegitimate daughter.

This is slander. When she heard those words, she cried bitterly. Not for himself, but for his uncle.

What a noble man my uncle is!

He was the youngest of the four priests of the temple, and he was in charge of the western temple at a young age, unlike the other three high priests who were all old men. The appearance is also first-class elegant and beautiful, and the magic is strong and knowledgeable. If the gods had a specific image, Rui'er thought it should be like her uncle's.

But because of himself, he was dirty.

In fact, if she could, Rui'er would like her uncle to be her father. There is such a great father, even if it is an illegitimate daughter, she is willing. But how could a man as devout and holy as his uncle have such a stain?

So she is grateful to her uncle and is willing to do anything for him.

What's more, she also knew very well that it was only because of her uncle that she could be called "Miss Rui'er" by everyone in the temple, and those noble children would come over to greet her with a smile when they saw her.

If she didn't have an uncle, the treatment she could get was probably not much better than this Jiarong.

The kitchen was next to the high priest's mansion, and like the other houses, it was made of large, heavy carved white stone. There was a stove in each of the four corners of the kitchen, and it was all burning now, and the smell of roasted meat, nutmeg and vanilla filled the air.

Rui'er looked at the side dishes in the kitchen and said to the cook, "Add some black truffle to the creamy mushroom soup and make some sage sauce." ”

The fat cook was a little complaining: "Ouch, my Miss Rui'er, I've been in this kitchen for more than ten years, and I know how to cook." I brought you up when you were a child!" but obediently went to grind sage.

Because she knows that although this Miss Rui'er looks very gentle, she actually has a very tough personality, and if you don't do what she wants, she will stand by and watch you all the time.

After leaving the kitchen, Rui went to the cellar again.

After coming out of the cellar, she walked into the high priest's mansion and checked that the glass had been wiped clean and the curtains had been dusted. After checking that the newly delivered boots were the correct size and delicately carved, I walked into the restaurant satisfied.

"Dou'er, go to the garden and pick some orchids and put them on that table. She felt that the room was a bit hollow, and that it should be full of life in spring, so she hurriedly told the little boy to go to the garden and pick some flowers.

When all was done, she relaxed and went back to her room—although she was now living in a dormitory, the High Priest's Mansion kept her room and freshened up so that she would not still have the smoke of the kitchen and the dust of the cellar.

In this way, the uncle came back and saw a fresh and lovely little girl.

At the dinner table, Rui'er told her uncle about the things in the academy during this time, and finally mentioned Jiarong.

"A new classmate just came yesterday, and he passed the test road and went directly to the advanced class, and he is still a girl!" Rui'er looked up and found that her uncle's eating action had paused slightly.

Uncle actually cares about this girl?

Rui'er is a little weird. Usually, when she talks about the college, her uncle doesn't seem to care much, why does he care about this girl who doesn't have a surname?

However, because her hair was short and she was wearing boy's clothes, everyone thought she was a boy at the time, and Hirono was going to be her guide. ”

"When I found out that she was a girl, I became her guide and introduced her to the temple. ”

"I'm sure she'll make a big difference with your help. You must know that Ruier is a role model among girls. After listening to Rui'er's words, the white robed high priest of Buyeo said softly to his niece.

"Uncle praised me again! I dare not say that I am a model for girls. Rui'er smiled shyly, and there was a little smug in her smile.

"In a blink of an eye, Rui'er is so big. The high priest of Buyeo put down the utensils in his hand, looked at the girl sitting next to him, and smiled, "In two years, it will be my turn to take a turn at the main shrine of the capital¹." I'm worried that after Rui'er's 16-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, my mansion will be crowded with matchmakers. ”

"When the time comes, will I also go to the capital with my uncle?"

"Of course, don't you want to? I'm still thinking that I'll give you a coming-of-age ceremony when I get to the capital, and officially introduce you to the ladies of the capital. If you want to study here, you can apply for graduation early. The high priest of Buyeo gently wiped his hands with a napkin, stood up and left the table, "You can think about it." ”

Rui'er hurriedly stood up and watched the high priest leave the dining room, but her heart was surprised and delighted. Of course she wanted to go to the capital, where there was a royal palace, the most noble social circles, and the most beautiful and attractive ladies.

Although she was an orphan, and although she was born into a low-class family, if the high priest of Buyeo was willing to preside over her coming-of-age ceremony and introduce her to the social circles of the capital, then she believed that the noble and proud ladies would still be willing to accept her.

However, her uncle said these words after she mentioned Jiarong.

Rui'er sat down and set her eyes on the delicate ball.

Why did my uncle care about this girl who didn't have a surname, and why did he have to help her himself?

The words that the High Priest of Buyeo had just said rang in her ears: "I believe that with your help, she will definitely change greatly." You must know that Ruier is a role model among girls. ”

PS: "Rotate to the main temple of the capital" because after the death of the first holy priest, King Jin Amber did not appoint another holy priest. Originally, the main temple of the capital, which was supposed to be presided over by the holy priest, was rotated by the high priests of the four major temples in the east, south, west, and north, and changed every four years.
