Chapter 64: Despair Academy (7)
Carriages carrying grocery wagons headed north, across the border of the heritage area, and stopped in front of the Grand Library.
Surrounded by ancient ruins, the upper echelons of the Obelisk took a lot of effort to keep the library from looking peaceful.
It is a retro-style temple built of boulders surrounded by towering boulder walls, with a hexagonal forecourt and a large courtyard with two altars, the 72-foot-high altar, dedicated to the ancient goddess of wisdom. There are two cisterns next to the altar for worshippers to wash their hands.
The courtyard is enclosed by an ornate gallery of 128 rose-colored granite columns brought from Makmuk, all of which are engraved with various words and flame motifs.
From the moment this beautiful and heavy building was built, probably no one could have imagined that it would one day become a temporary transit station with excellent performance......
In the wide courtyard, a "big tent" is being raised, some of which are emergency supplies brought from the main seat, and the other part is the remaining students, who are "stitching monsters" made of extra clothes mixed with oilcloth.
Elena followed Beverly and his party from the deliberately vacated main road to the museum, looked at the scene of the hot tents around her, and asked curiously:
"Why such a big tent?"
"On the one hand, it's safe to be crowded, and on the other hand, it's to save on fabric...... Red Knight patiently explains.
"Why do they make zuò tents? Isn't it good to live directly in the library?"
"Because this is just a transit station, we have to do the final search, and everyone has to go to Zone 1, where they are testing if the tent can be used. ”
Inside the hall, all the books have been removed from the shelves and transported to the basement, and most of the bookcases have been flattened and stacked in the corners of the walls on all sides. Several alchemy apprentices in high-class uniforms, under the protection of a team of knights, were hurrying up the skylight from the moving staircase with a large stack of bottles and cans.
While Beverly took Elena all the way forward, he introduced to the other party's back:
"The female alchemy apprentice with fluffy brown hair in the lead, whose name is Hermione, has a very high alchemy attainment, and is now hurrying to carry out the urgent practice of building a defensive enchantment...... Bless her. ”
"Really capable...... "Snow Maiden glanced at her enviously.
She, Rena, and Jacqueline belong to the law major, and alchemy, like the previous Yalei, is an elective subject, and there is a far cry from those alchemy apprentices who really specialize.
The Red Knight took Elena with him, cautiously avoiding the busy alchemy apprentices, and walked into the northern abbot's office.
Pushing the door in, Beverly walked directly to the desk of a glasses girl, pointed at Elena and said, "Rosa, these two are the missing ones in the garden dormitory, please register." ”
"Understood. The other party nodded, took out a copy of the text from the drawer, spread it on the table and asked, "Name, major, and class." ”
Jurisprudence, Elena Danio, 9527. After the Snow Maiden finished speaking, she glanced at Rena, who was sleeping on the shoulder of the female knight:
"She's Rena Biangi, she's sick and needs a doctor. ”
The glasses girl finished the registration with a dizzying hand, and then pointed out the window with the pen hand: "The tent of the emergency medical room is in the northeast of the courtyard, and the only white one." ”
"Thank you. ”
"I'll help you get her there, it's not a few steps anyway. The female knight said angrily.
"Thanks......" Elena nodded gratefully at her.
"Hey, what's polite!" The other party smiled shyly, and a big hand like a fan came unexpectedly, slapping her with gold stars in her eyes.
......
The roof of the library
The library is a single-story building, so its height is limited, and some of the brave alchemy apprentices even use wooden ladders to build directly on the wall, making it easy to get up and down quickly.
Yalei stood on the top floor, silently watching and guarding the qiē in front of him, he had never taken on such a heavy task, and he had never enjoyed the task like this.
Since last night, according to the information given by Dean Benedict, he has arranged for the members of the Black Seat to gather some of the students in the three districts who have been told the truth and form groups.
And ask them to write down the list and jurisdiction of the group, and continue to group them by sub-district...... With the patrol warning of the horse-drawn carriage and megaphone, it snowballed...... In just a few hours, most of the people in the three districts, including students and practitioners in the catering area, were gathered here.
The reason why it was chosen as a temporary shelter in the Third Ward was not only spacious and sturdy, but also because the library was located close to College Avenue, which made it easy to evacuate and brought its own water source.
At this moment, the Black Knight completely regarded himself as a true commander, and prepared for this catastrophe from the perspective of war.
Whether it is a knight apprentice, an alchemy apprentice, a fairy doctor who has lost his power, or other students, in his eyes, he must make the best use of it and show what he can contribute.
Now the time is almost up, and when Bruno's search team returns, according to Dean Benedict's wishes, he will immediately move all the staff to District 1 and concentrate on defending against danger.
Or is Genevieve idle, he just needs to search the battlefield......
"Boss. ”
Rosa suddenly climbed up the wooden ladder on the left, walked up to Yare, and handed over the roster she had just registered:
"This is an updated roster, and the number of people who should have arrived in the three districts should be 6,125, but the actual number is 6,000, and the total number of missing is 118. ”
"Two more?" Areley took the roster and flipped to the missing page, where the two names that were now crossed out were Rena and Elena, and his heart was relieved.
"Good work. He returned the roster to the girl in glasses, looked at her dark circles and said, "In another hour at most, the last search team will be back, and when you reach the first district, you will be able to rest well." ”
"Thank you. Rosa took the roster, her face was much more relaxed, it seemed that the head was not the same as it appeared, and he was a reasonable person.
The reason why she called Yalei the leader was completely because she was learning from the people of the Black Seat to scream, and after a few times, she didn't get angry when she saw the other party, and she got used to it when she shouted and shouted.
"Boss!" Hermione, the alchemist behind herm, let out a scream, carrying two black metal rods in her hands, jumped to her feet and said:
"The Mithril I brought is no longer enough, and the magic stone is even less!"
"What are you anxious about!" the black knight Yalei frowned, glared at her fiercely in displeasure, and scolded softly, "It's just a simulation test!"
"Even if it's a simulation test, you have to take it seriously!" said the female alchemist confidently.
"I'm just a little bit closer, and now that the library is collapsing, no one will care about me. When I get to the first district, who will give me the time and place to do the real thing?"
Without waiting for the black knight to speak, she hurriedly argued:
"Anyway, it will only be activated when everyone retreats, and even if the enchantment fails to activate, it will only be this library that will collapse. If it succeeds, it will prove that the defensive formation I have optimized and improved is correct! When I wait for the first district, I will be the main force! So, give me enough magic stones and Mithril ......."
Hermione walked over to Arley, clasped her palms together in anticipation, and looked at him from the bottom up with expectant eyes.
"Don't worry, finish the rest of the process first. Yalei couldn't stand her gaze, and turned his head and said:
"Bruno's search team will pass through the Alchemy Room, and I have instructed him to bring back as many magic stones and Mithril as possible...... Pray...... Prayer brought back enough material. Say it beforehand, when Bruno comes back, it will take about five minutes for us to completely withdraw, you only have so much time!"
The alchemist looked overjoyed, and shouted with dancing hands:
"Enough is enough, I'll go lay out the exterior frame right away!"
