The Higher School of Magic in Padya is just a general term, but it doesn't just teach magic. There are also vindictiveness, combat skills, military command, politics, and art............ and many other subject categories. It's just that because the branch of the Magic Academy has the biggest and most famous reputation, over time, people in the entire continent think that this Academy is a simple magic academy.

The building complex that Baroque entered was the branch of the Academy of Magic, and others, such as the branch of the Douqi Combat Technique Academy, were located in the depths of the garden, because they were blocked by the tall magic tower, so outsiders could not see them. Baroque slightly estimated the area of the academy, even if the other academy branches were only one-third the size of the magic academy, the entire higher academy was also huge and amazing, it seemed that more than half of the entire western district of the Padya King Capital belonged to the scope of the academy, and it was completely behemoth.

The sculpture, called Ingol, is more than 20 meters tall and seems to have been carved entirely out of a single block of rock. Although I don't know who this is, I don't know who the magician who can stand here must be extremely famous, and maybe the founder of the academy is unknown.

There is an inconspicuous door under the pedestal of the sculpture, very simple, without any decoration, only a wooden sign with the words "Library" written on it, and even the stone door has no latch on it, and I don't know how to open it.

Baroque stood outside the door and watched for a long time, not knowing how to get in, and finally suddenly woke up, took out the magic card given by Lin, searched for it on the stone door, and sure enough, he saw a small magic pattern the size of a fist, like a flower. Inserting the magic card through the gap in the middle, the stone door vibrated slightly, and then slowly opened to both sides.

Inside is a corridor tens of meters long, which leads down the stone steps. Baroque walked down and found that there was a row of wooden doors on each side of the corridor, neatly and symmetrically, and there were also signs hanging on the doors, which read [Magic], [Fighting Spirit], [Combat Skills] [Military]............ And so on. And it was written in two languages, one of which was known to the Baroque as the lingua franca, and the other which he did not recognize, but which he had heard from Massimo during his lifetime. It seems to be called [such as Owen], and only human magicians or religious people are qualified to learn.

Baroque chose a wooden door with the word "magic" hanging on it, also opened it with Celine's magic card, pushed the door in, passed through a corridor of more than ten meters, pushed open a door again, and his eyes lit up, and his body couldn't help but vibrate, as if an invisible breath was blowing in his face, which was suffocating.

Rows of bookshelves, as if they could not see the end of the stretch, are neatly stacked with all kinds of books, scrolls, and ancient books of animal skins. On some large tables, there are stone inscriptions, magic patterns, and various pattern analysis ....... Baroque has an illusion that it seems that there is wisdom in the air.

"Shocking, isn't it?" said an old man's voice from behind him.

Baroque turned around and saw where the sound was coming from, and immediately looked horrified. It was actually an old orc, dressed in a magician's robe, and wearing the same academy faculty insignia as Celine on his chest! Yes, in the most precious library of mankind, there was actually an old orc, who was still a faculty member of the academy.

The old orc was dressed in light brown fur, his face and hands were full of wrinkles, very old, but he was in good spirits, and his black eyes showed a look of interest, looking at Baroque. In the past, Celine would also lend magic cards to others, but most of them were her best friends, but she didn't expect that this time it was actually a young orc who came in.

"You...... Are you ...... Greetings to you, dear sir, are you Mr. Zachary?"

"I'm Zachary, and you're holding Celine's magic card, little one, where are you from?" the old orc asked with a nod.

"Yes, Mr. Zachary, I am Lady Celine's new retinue. Because of my curiosity about the library of the Academy of Magic, I borrowed a magic card from her and came to visit the library, hoping that it didn't bother you. Baroque was still a little strange, he felt very strange, and answered simply, but did not explain his origins. Still can't believe how humans can endure to let an orc work in a library, and still as an administrator.

The old orc saw Baroque's doubts, he was also an orc, and he had some sense of closeness and identity, Zachary had a good impression of Baroque, and led him into the library hall, while explaining slightly: "I am one of the administrators of the Ministry of Magic of the [Great Library], you can call me old Zachary, as you can see, I am an orc like you." If you're not mistaken, you're from the Frostwolf Clan?...... But the difference is that I lived in this academy when I was very young...... Follow my master, Lord Butters...... He is the dean of the college. I have hardly left this place in my life, I have forgotten which tribe I belong from, I don't know which clan I belong to, except for the characteristics such as animal hair on my body, in fact, I am no different from humans...... Even, my wife is a human being. ”

"Yellow skin and white heart?...... No, it's a human-skinned beast heart?" Baroque thought of the word, and most of the excitement and excitement at first dissipated. Although they are all orcs, he will definitely not be able to talk to the old orc. In the memory of another soul, this yellow-skinned and white-hearted species is a natural spy and betrayer in the world. They don't identify with blood, and they don't even think that they are the same kind as people of the same race. There was a very obvious expression in the words of the old orc in front of him...... He is proud of his integration into the human world.

"Your achievements are enviable, Mr. Zachary. Baroque quietly complimented: "So you are a magician?"

"Hehe, will orcs become magicians?" Zachary smiled and shook his head: "I can cultivate Dou Qi and have the rank of Earth Knight...... Of course, you orcs all call it [Beast Battle Qi], but in fact, the two are fundamentally the same. The reason why I became a librarian is because I love to read and work with books, and thanks to the help of my host, Lord Butters, I got my wish. I've been in this library for forty years, and even the most senior magicians haven't been here as long as I've been. ”

Baroque felt very uncomfortable about what the old orcs said about "you orcs", but he had to pretend that he didn't hear it. Just now, I had hoped to get the help of the old orcs to save my people, and now I wisely chose to shut up. "Mr. Zachary, you see, I was blown away by the sea of books here, I don't know where to start, can you give me some advice?"

"Oh, so what do you want to know about magic?" Zachary asked, pointing to the rows of bookshelves and said, "By department, there are fire magic books, and there are water books...... Wind ...... Soil ...... In the middle are books of the basic and general departments, and the column near the side is about Warcraft or magical plants, of course, those that are only of interest to magical alchemists or apothecaries. ”

The old orc pointed out the bookshelves to Baroque one by one and explained them. In the comprehensive category, there are not only human magic, but also some magic introductions about the magic system of elves, dwarves and even dragons, and finally Zachary pointed to a row of bookshelves in the corner: "There are miscellaneous books collected over the years, all of which are books about your orc shamanic arts, but unfortunately humans can't practice that kind of mysterious power, and they can't explore anything, and few people care about it." If you're interested, you can check it out, and one day you may suddenly awaken to the power of the totem and become a shaman. ”

Baroque's eyes lit up, and he almost trotted to the bookshelf. There are not many books here, most of them are stacked in rolls of animal skins, only a few hundred volumes. Some of the hides have turned black and brown, and I don't know how long they have existed, and if it weren't for the special preservation in the library, I am afraid that they would have rotted and deteriorated long ago. He picked up a scroll of animal skins and opened it, and before he could look at the contents, Baroque frowned. ............ The skin was stained with blood and blackened.

"You must have put a lot of thought into collecting these skin scrolls, right?" Baroque asked quietly.

"Yes, although the orcs have declined greatly, they are still fierce and fearless of death. Especially those orc shamans, the orc guards who follow them are completely crazy. Although the academy has not received orc scrolls from the northern kingdoms in recent years, a few decades ago, I heard that every time the army there gets an orc shaman scroll, many vindictive warriors will die in battle. Even if you kill more orc warriors and shamans, the gains outweigh the losses. And no one could learn the art of shamanism, so I stopped doing these things altogether. ”

Zachary said, as if talking about something unrelated, Baroque clenched and loosened his hand, sighed softly, and suddenly did not blame the old orc...... After all, he grew up in the human world, and he followed the incomparably noble Magister, the head of the academy, Butters, and had never experienced the suffering of orcs, and faced with the kindness and smiles of humans, so it was not surprising to have this mentality.

"There are a lot of people coming to the library during the day, and after a busy day, I'm going to rest. See for yourself here, just remember to close the door when you leave, and the magic defense will automatically turn on. Old Zachary seemed tired, said to Baroque, and prepared to leave

Baroque was dumbfounded, and asked tentatively: "Are you just leaving?" aren't you afraid of me...... Aren't you afraid of losing the books here?"

"Hehe, the really valuable books are in another place, here are just ordinary books, and you are Celine's retinue, as the goddaughter of the master, Lord Butters, Celine is still trustworthy, isn't it?" The old orc smiled and walked away!

It turns out that Lady Celine is the goddaughter of Magister Butters, no wonder she can be so confident that she can bring Sierra into the academy!

Although he has become an orc shaman, the process is actually confused. The Norman shaman himself is only half a bottle of water, so don't expect him to teach the Baroque enough. This is no longer the case, and the pile of shamanic scrolls in front of you, despite its messiness, can undoubtedly be of great help to the Baroque.

I couldn't wait to pounce in front of the bookshelf of the animal skin scroll, calm down, and then open a animal skin and look at it intently.
