Chapter 85: The Library
The chief student of Jiuyou Academy didn't realize that he was a prophecy. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The two students behind the other desk, not far from her and Nicholas seats, were indeed uncomfortable right now.
It's just that they don't have an opinion on the public-funded students helping the crane tail car to tutor their homework.
In fact, one of the students behind the other desk hadn't noticed the two classmates who were secretly tutoring for the time being, and he was simply very interested in the library.
"I'm not lost!" Zheng Qing emphasized in a low voice, and complained while flipping through the books in front of him: "I just looked for more books...... Can this also trigger an alarm?"
"You didn't look for a book for a while. Opposite him, Xiao Xiao took out his timer, tapped the numbers on it, and sneered, "You've been missing from the bookshelf maze for two hours. For new students entering the library for the first time, disappearing for more than an hour and a half will trigger an emergency alarm. It is estimated that there are a lot of newcomers who have been lost in the library these days, so the administrator is half an hour late to look for you. ”
Zheng Qing snorted indignantly, without squeaking.
Indeed, if it hadn't been for the librarian who had just come to pick him up, he would probably still be leaning on the cold bookshelf in a daze.
After more than ten days at the school, this was his first time in the library.
There is a saying circulating in the first university:
"If the statues of the gods and their words are the beliefs of the Atlas Academy, then the noble blood and outstanding talents are the beliefs of the Alpha Castle, the iron and blood are the beliefs of the Star Academy, and there are only nine schools, the library is the church here, and the books and exams are the beliefs of the nine schools. ”
For a student of Jiuyou Academy, if he does not go to the library of Jiuyou once after entering the school, it is like a devout believer who has not made a pilgrimage to the holy place for the rest of his life, which is a lifelong regrettable thing.
Although he had heard many warnings and rumors before entering the library, it was only when he entered the library that Zheng Qing truly realized how big this library was and how rich it was to collect books.
Rolling and undulating, mountains and mountains, people are looking forward to awe, and the heart is galloping and fascinating.
This is no exaggeration.
As the oldest college at First University, Jiuyou University has a lot to be proud of.
One of the most envied by the students of other colleges is the Shushan Pavilion.
The Shushan Pavilion is the library of Jiuyou College, but its collection is comparable to that of the First University Library.
So much so that there has always been a rumor in the wizarding world that 'there are ten volumes of books in the world, and the first university has eight volumes, and nine has five volumes exclusively'.
In the eyes of the proud nine, such rhetoric is not an exaggeration.
The Shushan Building is located between the middle and back courtyards of the school.
Not far from the front of the museum, there is the quiet Linzhong Lake. Sitting behind the desk by the window of the library, you can see the vast Linzhong Lake as far as the eye can see, and even the golden bells hanging on the white seven-story tower on the island in the middle of the lake can sometimes be observed through the reflected sunlight.
The entire library building is in the shape of a mountain, running east-west.
The entrance is in the hall on the first floor of the building, with three doors in front and back, which is convenient for the students of Jiuyou College to enter and exit.
At the entrance to the north main entrance is a bronze sculpture that is said to have been given by the Grand Wizard Council of the Wizarding Alliance.
The main body of the statue is a long-bearded old man, holding a wooden staff in one hand and holding a scroll in the other; next to the old man is a pair of boys and girls, with yellow hair hanging down, holding a delicate Sinan; and at the old man's feet stands a small tablet with a string of inscriptions engraved on it, which reads, 'Faith is your Sinan who wanders in the ocean of knowledge'.
The entrance to the south main entrance is a screen with a flat map of the entire library. There are tall pillars of Zhu Mutang on the left and right, and a pair of couplets are hung on it, which is the well-known 'book mountain has a road and diligence as a path, and the sea of learning is endless'.
The two sentences of this couplet are three more words than the motto of the First University, and the words "diligence" and "hardship" more clearly reflect the school-running philosophy of Jiuyou University.
Coming out of the bishop's building, the students who came past the bell lake could see this couplet when they entered the library.
In the center of the hall on the first floor is a huge sand table, which significantly has a full view of the Academy. The bishop's building, the school hospital, the canteen, the Shushan Pavilion, and even the East Taoyuan, Xihuayuan, Yunfang Garden, and even the seven-story small tower on the island in the middle of the lake, and the boats docked by the wharf, all the pavilions, walls, corridors, and amusement garden streets are clearly recognizable.
If you go up the stairs on the left and right sides of the hall on the first floor, you will enter the inner hall known as the 'Book Mountain'.
Countless spatial magic has been solidified here, and when you stand at the entrance and look in, the rolling bookshelves seem to have no end.
As the name suggests, the collection of books in the Shushan Museum is so vast that it is difficult to count.
There are not only the various books used by wizards, but also many rare books that have been circulated in the world of Hakuding.
For wizards, books are carriers of knowledge, and knowledge is not subject to race or portal.
Because the storage time is not consistent, the specifications of the bookshelves in the Shushan Museum are also different.
The bookshelves in the depths of the library are mostly made of oak, oak, and willow, and occasionally there are also nanmu bookshelves donated by a few wealthy alumni, which are not too high, most of them are about three meters, but these shelves are often decorated with ornate runes, carved with elaborate ornaments, and occasionally you can see sculptures solidified with magic.
The books stored on these shelves are generally precious, and many of them are unique books donated by alumni.
The bookshelves of the later ones are generally located far away and the materials are relatively modern, and according to the librarian who led the way, the latest batch of bookshelves even have stainless steel and plastic structures.
"These bookshelves are good," the chubby administrator said with a smile to the newcomers, pointing to the shiny bookshelves, "at least, they won't get moldy or cause bugs...... God knows why there are such monsters as 'bookworms' in this world! I've been eaten by these little bugs all my life, and they're even worse than 'Sand Hour'. ”
Zheng Qing nodded again and again, looking at the complicated books on the shelves dizzyingly, and didn't pay much attention to the administrator's explanations and warnings going in and out of the left ear.
In his opinion, going in and out of the library to read books is just a simple process of picking up and reading books, and there is no danger.
However, he overlooked that this was the wizarding world.
This library is a library for wizards.
According to the librarian's previous explanation, the great wizard who established the Book Mountain Pavilion had arranged these bookshelves into a formation of nine palace gossip, and anyone who coveted more knowledge would lose their way inside.
Walking between the twists and turns of the bookshelves, if you are not careful, you will get lost in the sea of books.
This is the great wizard who originally established the Book Mountain Pavilion, in order to remind the students who enter the Book Mountain to keep a clear head at all times.
"There is only one skill: three left and one right. Before entering the labyrinth of bookshelves, the administrator reminded Zheng Qing again: "Don't forget...... If you can't find your way out inside, don't run around, grab your book list, stay where you are, and we'll be able to get you out soon. ”
"No problem, no problem!" Zheng Qing stuffed the booklist into his pocket, waved his hands nonchalantly, and happily rushed into the bookshelf.
After passing through the boring experimental report area and the obscure astrological divination area, Zheng Qing soon discovered the part he was interested in: the magic area.
From simple elementary spells to advanced multiplayer spells, from the construction of basic spells to the condensation of complete spells, and even the ritual of summoning demons and the taboo of lich transformation, he was dazzled by all kinds of spells.
"Put these books here, aren't you afraid that others will fall? Zheng Qing glanced at the thick wooden-shelled book with green flames on the top floor of the bookshelf, sighed, shook his head and picked up the bottom one of the bookshelf, "Mastering a Hundred Spells in Three Minutes".
For Zheng Qing, a newcomer, it is not very difficult to find a few favorite books, but it is very difficult not to indulge in this place and find his way back from the ocean of spirit.
Unfortunately, the first time he entered the library, he was lost in the vast ocean of knowledge.
His heart was filled with the philosophical words of the sages.
His mind was filled with the powerful magic of the book.
Following the guidance of knowledge, he walked deeper into the library step by step.
It wasn't until he was tired of walking that he was horrified to find that he couldn't see a single figure in front of him, left and right, and as far as he could see, there were all kinds of bookshelves of high and low.
He was lost.
