Chapter 520: Anyway, the First Prostitute (4/3)
"The Book of Silver Yao is here? It didn't take much effort to get there. ”
After Ian saw the label of this book, he began to carefully study the holy sacrifice book of the people of the Bailong Mountain in the South Ridge, and adjacent to it were the original "Cocoon Rebirth" by the Butterfly People of Icewind Valley, the "Prayer of Charel (The Nomad's God of War)" by the nomads of the Golden Plains, the snake cult document "The Perfect Enemy", which once caused a lot of trouble in the central region, and probably a classic book "The Declaration of the Divine Forged of Daliga" by the side of the Steep Ridge Castle.
All in all, they are all the spoils of war obtained by the empire when they went around to conquer and explore, and they are carefully placed here, and I don't know whether it is used as research materials or commemorations, in short, the protection is quite not weak, and many books are lifelike. That doesn't stop Ian from touching his hand and reproducing it.
To be honest, both Mofeng and Count Phoenix were very understanding of Ian's actions, how could a book lover resist the opportunity to touch these precious books?
Anyway, there are protective inscriptions here, and there will be no loss when you touch them, and there is nothing wrong with flipping through them, but Ian is not so overstepping, so they don't think there is anything
Only Hua Di saw a clue, Miss Fairy frowned slightly, and muttered in a low voice: "This guy will glow silver every time he touches the book, what is his spiritual ability?" It can't be any ordinary observational psionic ability!
Of course, muttering is muttering, Birch doesn't care what the other party's psionic ability is, she is just a little dissatisfied with Ian hiding it from herself...... But who wouldn't have a secret? So it's almost there, the goblins never get to the bottom of it.
Ian originally thought that the task had been completed so smoothly that the Worship Dragon Sect had not said that he had asked him to take the Book of Silver Glory back, as long as he told them where it was, and this goal had been achieved.
However, when Ian reached out and touched the book with a faint silver glow, he frowned slightly.
The young man turned his head and looked at the old earl who was communicating with Mo Feng in a low voice, which made Count Phoenix raise his head a little strangely and said, "What's the matter, Mr. Ian?" Do you want to flip through that book? ”
He smiled, young people who were willing to ask their elders for instructions before acting would always be welcome: "Please, but don't look through it for too long, the effect of protecting the inscription is five minutes, and after five minutes, you have to put it back and wait for the inscription to charge for ten minutes before you can read it again." ”
Aside from the moment of study, the preservation of inscriptions in the collection room does not work all the time, which also causes some trouble for those who want to prostitute the contents of the book for nothing, after all, they can only read for five minutes at a time, and incoherent reading may not be able to read some of them in a day, and those who want to read for an extended period will also be noticed by the administrator and expelled from the collection.
Ian didn't look strange about it, he picked up the Silver Book, flipped through it a few times, and after making sure of its contents, he put it back.
"This is a later rubbing, right? Lord Earl. ”
He stared at the bookcase, a little confused, "Will there be rubbings in the rare book collection room as well?" Or is it that the real Book of Silver Shine has already been used for research, so a fake is placed here? ”
"Rubbing? Fake?! ”
Ian didn't feel anything wrong when he said this, he just realized that the book was indeed a rubbing, and although the content should be fine, the energy contained in the whole book was the life energy of a steel-skinned dragon, not the power of an ancient dragon.
Although Ian didn't know if the Book of Silver Yao had the power of the eye-eyed steel dragon lodged in it, no matter what, it shouldn't be a steel-skinned dragon. At the very least, it has to be a serious dragon species, right?
But what he felt was wrong was already the biggest insult to the Count of Phoenix, and the old man told the truth in an instant, even Ian could only barely sense the moment when the other party used essentia, and after a moment, he appeared in front of Ian, and took the Book of Silver Yao out of the protective rack with a rather gentle, but rather impatient force.
He carefully flipped through this sacrificial sacred text of the Bailong Mountain People, the old man had already been familiar with the contents of all the unique books in the process of keeping them for so many years, and he could even write all the books word by word, he was 100% sure that there was no problem with the content of this book of Yinyao. But just as the Phoenix Earl looked up suspiciously, ready to ask Ian why he said that, suddenly, he sensed something was wrong.
"Yes, when I picked up this book, I could still feel the power of the ancient dragon, and I almost didn't lie on the ground, and now, although my strength has made a huge breakthrough compared to the past, it is still far from the ancient dragon god of the Nanling mountain people, and its power cannot be so weak......"
The Phoenix Earl muttered to himself, believing Ian's 'fake' theory completely...... But how is that possible? Who is it that has the ability to secretly replace such an important ancient book under his nose?!
"Is it a trick of the Dragon Worshippers?" The old earl's eyes narrowed, and there was a golden-red flame in his red eyes, exuding an astonishing sense of oppression.
Ian didn't speak, and he didn't know who did it, but it was definitely not the Dragon Worship Sect that the Dragon Worship Sect had this ability, so where was the need to entrust him to see the situation?
"It's an inner ghost!"
And the Count of Phoenix obviously thought of this, and his anger and essentia oppression caused the entire Imperial Capital Grand Library to sound an 'attack warning', and the entire large library was lit up with dark red warning lights, but soon, he used his authority to shut down the attack warning, and replaced it with an orange 'stealing' warning. The library was locked down, and not long after, the more than seventy members of the Book Guardian Order who guarded the Imperial Capital Library all gathered around the collection room, and the staff looked at each other with fear on their faces, staying on the sidelines One by one, they already knew what was going on, the collection of rare books in the collection room was stolen, this was undoubtedly a dereliction of duty on the part of everyone present, the salary reduction and punishment were probably small, and those unimportant staff were estimated to be all dismissed.
Who wants to be fired for being 'irresponsible'? Not to mention how easy and comfortable the work of the Imperial Capital Library is, and you can access the treasure trove of knowledge of the empire up close.
The Count of Phoenix also knew this, which was also a shame for him, and he knew that if he didn't even find out, it would be impossible for these ordinary knights and staff to detect the thieves' methods, and the thieves were in a high position in the library, which was an internal theft.
The question is, who exactly?
The old earl's gaze swept over everyone present, and he was about to feign anger and scare them before initiating the formal investigation process.
But soon, his anger turned genuine. Because when Count Phoenix went out to reprimand the guards and staff of the library, Ian began to scan the books in the entire collection room at a very fast speed, anyway, the silver chip can be scanned with a touch, just simply burning the text content, even the old machine in the previous life can do it, not to mention the mysterious chip that uses his brain computing power?
So, in such a short period of time.
He found eight more 'rubbings'.
Of course, Ian wasn't stupid enough to say it all, he just went out and whispered to Count Phoenix that he had noticed two more books that were wrong.
But it was enough to make Count Phoenix's hair turn blonde and stand on end.
