Chapter 46: The Hidden Book
At night
Ruofia Imperial Academy has a library that it is proud of, and in terms of appearance, volume, and volume of books, this library that looks like a huge round tower is undoubtedly the first library of the Empire. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Alina was now at a long table in the first library, looking at the poetry books on the table with some absent-mindedness, preparing for the skipping exam in a few days. She really hated the kind of sonnets that had to think about the meaning of the words, but also about the imagery, and also about the rhyme. Of course, what she hates most is Derek who wears black all day, like a bat with crocodile eyes.
He tried his best to make her difficult all day long, saying that she was a student who did not learn and did not know how to learn, so everyone said that Alina was a literary idiot. It made Alina unsettling, she really didn't want to be labeled a literary idiot. But she can't let others not call her a literary idiot.
Because literary idiocy is a designation, everyone says so, she is a literary idiot, and there is no reason to speak of it. Quite simply, Professor Derek is a literary professor who is quite accomplished in literature and is jealous and hateful, and is known as the "Righteous One", since he says that Alina is "unlearned", "only relying on her cousin's connections", and "even a cat knows sonnets better than you". So Aliana is a literary idiot who parachuted into the literature class purely by relying on her cousin. There is no truth to this.
There are three ways to prove that Alina is not a student who does not learn and has no skills: First, make herself ugly, because everyone always thinks that a girl who is beautiful and has a high affinity for the elements must have a very bad aspect, and it is impossible for all good things to be taken by one person.
Second, it's too much of a loss to make yourself ugly, and it's much better to drop out of school directly in comparison.
Three, take the skipping exam, face Professor Derek, and skip to the second grade.
Alina chose the third option, which meant that she had to spend a lot of time and energy on literature books full of boring words. It was a torment, and she forced herself to stare at the black letters. However, she was always thinking about the protagonist of "The Adventures of the Two Swordsmen", who finally made up his mind to leave his dark homeland. What will happen next? What danger will he encounter in the dangerous wilderness, what will his evil gods do to him?
The silver-haired girl closed the book, restless, and she wanted to find the book and read it for hours to satisfy her cravings. But unfortunately, she had already asked the librarian and searched for it in the vast sea of books, but found nothing.
She sniffed and smelled a sour, somewhat familiar. Alina subconsciously looked at Migen and saw a thin mopper with his back to her, just a few meters away, and strangely he didn't make a sound. Alina, who has a keen sense of hearing, is unaware of his presence.
She took a second look and noticed that the back was somewhat familiar.
"Crendil?"
The thin back stiffened, he slowly straightened his waist, turned his head, and the smile on his face looked very embarrassed.
"You work here?" asked Alina, her eyes lit up.
Krendil nodded slowly, the job provided by this academy can reduce his tuition fee by thirty gold coins a month.
"Can you do me a favor?"
Faced with Alina's request, he couldn't refuse, although he wanted to find a hole to get into, because he felt like a bedbug in front of the beautiful Alina.
"I'll do my best. ā
"I'm looking for a book. Alina said as she pulled it out of her space bag, "This is it, The Adventures of the Two Bladers, I want to find the second part." ā
"Iā" The half-elf girl's eyes were full of hope, and Krendil desperately recalled, "I seem to have an impression, and I can definitely find it." ā
"Then please. ā
Krendier did not lie, he remembered that the day before yesterday the library had put together a collection of books, most of which were adventure novels written by Western authors. It is probably because of the recent crackdown on the spies of the gods in the country.
"It's in a small warehouse. ā
He led Alina to a nondescript door on the sixth floor, and luckily the door was unlocked, and pushed it in, a small dark room full of books. Krendil knew that the books to be disposed of would be placed here first.
"It should be inside. He said, "I also saw "The Adventures of the Two Bladers" some time ago. ā
With that, Krendil plunged headlong into the stacks of books, laboriously moving stacks of books aside, and refusing Alina's help on the grounds that the space was too small, but luckily he found "The Adventures of the Two Bladers" in a few clicks.
"Thank you. Alina took the book, "Thank you." ā
"It's okay, is there anything else you need help with?"
"No, thank you. Instead, she looked at Krendil with some confusion, he was too positive, and she was a little puzzled.
"I'm leaving. As soon as he finished speaking, he slipped out of the door.
"It's weird. ā
The half-elf girl stood in front of the door, watching his emaciated back disappear at the top of the stairs.
However, this little episode was soon forgotten by Alina, and she did not know and did not need to know how excited Clendil was. That night, Alina was in the library and satisfied her book addiction by watching "The Adventures of the Two Bladers" for a night. When Krendil finished his work, he returned to his dorm room and began to work on the pickled cucumbers as soon as he returned to his bedroom.
PS: I'm sorry, I opened unlimited firepower yesterday, and today I have two more.
