Chapter 20: The Library
"Seal?" Du Zhong, who had just stood up, froze slightly, and asked in great confusion, "Why?"
"The dean said that last night's 'unsealing' was just the result of my resonance with the forbidden code in an overly angry mood, and it was not a broken mirror that came naturally, and since the forbidden book in my body was sealed in the body by a certain master, it was best to keep the original appearance before he understood the other party's thoughts, so he sealed the forbidden code again. ”
Xia Kucao replied a little dullly, then raised his head and looked at the vice dean in front of him, "You said that if the dean learns about my dueling, will he temporarily unlock the seal for me?"
Du Zhong ignored the question of Prunella vulgaris, just blindly repeated a few words in his mouth, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked in a slightly hurry: "Where did this forbidden book of yours and the student uniform on your body come from?"
Prunella spread her hands and said very frankly, "The dean also asked me this question...... It's just that the high-ranking uncle who wants to come here now told me not to mention his deeds in the academy, and he also emphasized the importance of this matter, so Vice Dean Du, don't ask. ”
......
......
After Du Zhong left, Prunella first slept beautifully—he had only fallen asleep in the second half of the night last night, and this morning he had been dragged to negotiate, and he was so sleepy that he didn't get up until it was near dusk, urged by his rumbling stomach, and began to think about the serious question of where to go to worship the temple.
It's just that before this reflection has a result, Du Zhong came to the door again.
......
"What? You said that the dean approved my duel with Bai Li without saying a word, and that he couldn't break the seal he placed on me?" Xia Kucao roared incredulously, "This is the seal he put down!" He even said that he couldn't break it himself?".
Du Zhong's expression was solemn, and he frowned unhappily and reprimanded: "I don't know how to be in awe!"
Xia Kucao had to calm down, smiled bitterly and apologized again and again.
"But...... The dean of his old man...... What the hell are you thinking?"
Regarding the doubts of Prunella vulgaris, Du Zhong was silent for a long time, and then he also said helplessly: "Dean...... Naturally, there are reasons for the dean. ”
Xia Kucao endured and endured when she heard this, and she held back and suffocated, but she still couldn't hold back, and complained in a low voice: "You are talking nonsense!"
......
"Vice Dean Du, if there is no forbidden canon, I am an ordinary person who doesn't even have a sealed book - no, it's not as good as an ordinary person, I'm afraid that the duel in a month will disgrace the academy. ”
“...... You should know the severity, no matter what, you can't lose. ”
"Why can't you lose?"
"Not bad. ”
"What if I can't win?"
"If you can't win, you can't be ashamed. ”
Xia Kucao touched her head and asked in great confusion and distress: "Vice Dean, how can you not be ashamed if you can't win?"
Du Zhong's eyebrows moved slightly, and he reprimanded in displeasure: "The academy will help you, it is best to solve the problem at my level, if not, with the entire academy to back you up, what do you need to be afraid of?"
"In short--if you can't win, you have to find a way to win, if you can't win, you can't admit defeat, and if you can't do it, it's not good - I will create some natural disasters before the duel** to seriously hurt you, and it will drag on for a while. ”
“......”
"Well, that's the joke. Du Zhong waved his hand, took out a card from his bosom, and handed it to Prunella with a sad face.
Prunella took it, curiously groped for the silver-glowing card, and looked at Du Zhong with some doubts.
"With this key, you will be able to pass through the academy library. ”
"Is this the key?" "Summer Grass stared at the card in her hand, not finding a trace of the shape of the key in it.
Du Zhong was displeased, frowned and reprimanded: "Although it is called a key, this is essentially a magic card, this is the Sealer Academy, don't substitute the concept of the outside world here." ”
The magic pattern card Xia Kucao knows that after being sealed by the sealer, everything will turn into a card-like appearance, that is, the magic pattern card, these cards are usually stored in the book of seals, and when you want to use it, you can take out or unlock the seal on the card with just a thought, which is extremely convenient - it's just that, just like the book of seals, magic cards can only be used by the person who sealed him, and it will really be effective if you hold it yourself?
"Because you don't have a sealed book, you can't seal the breath in your own card, so this key is a library pass that belongs to the dean, which is sealed with a trace of the dean's breath, you hold it, and the entire library will be completely open to you, this is the greatest support of the academy to you, I hope you cherish it." ”
Du Zhong's words obviously hinted at a message, but at this moment, Xia Kucao really didn't have the time to figure it out on his own-
"The greatest support of the academy for me is to let me read books?" Xia Wither Cao yelled again in disbelief: "Even if there is no panacea, at least arrange a mentor for me!"
Du Zhong frowned, forcibly suppressed displeasure, "The Seal Master's Broken Mirror and Cultivation are different from the rest of the combat positions, it is extremely special, otherwise the mainland people have a book of seals in their hands, but they have never seen the Seal Master everywhere, the reason for it is all in the book, how can there be any elixir! As for the master, it is not too late to mention it when you reach the hazy realm!"
After speaking, Du Zhong wanted to brush his sleeves away, but Xia Kucao hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the other party's sleeve.
"Okay...... However, without this card, wouldn't the dean and his old man be able to enter the library?"
Du Zhong glanced at Xia Kucao mockingly, and said, "This is the Sealing Master Academy, he is the dean, and he can come and go freely in the academy, do you really think that without this thing, it will have any impact on the dean?"
Xia Kucao was silent for a while, and then whispered to Du Zhong beside him a little shyly: "But when I first met the dean, he made it clear that he couldn't enter the girls' dormitory in the middle of the night......"
“...... Nonsense!"
......
......
Early the next morning.
Although he still didn't understand why the dean would approve the duel without being able to break the seal of the forbidden canon, since the matter had come to this, the helpless Xia Kucao had to choose to face the reality.
So after a good night's rest, Prunella got up early in the morning, carrying the library pass—obviously this is more appropriate, and walked towards the big library of the famous Sealmaster Academy on the mainland.
The reason why there is a word 'near' is because a peer college in the north that is also famous on the mainland does not recognize this academy as the first in the world, so people in the world cannot reasonably think that this sealing academy is the first in the world.
After all, the most incredible thing about the King of Giffin Seal Academy is its history, but history may be very powerful, but history itself has never been directly related to power.
For example, the Giffin Tower that towers in the city of Giffen has a longer history than this college, but no one has ever thought that the Giffin Tower is the first tower in the world.
However, the large library of the Jifen Wang Li Seal Master Academy that Xia Kucao is going to is indeed the first book house in the world, and the reason is also very understandable, because the Jifen Wang Li Seal Master Academy is the first in the world in terms of history alone, so with such a long history, its collection of books is naturally as many as the stars and extremely vast.
Xia Kucao had already asked how to get to the Du Zhong Great Library yesterday - his injuries were not fully healed, and he didn't want to take the teleportation array, so he planned to walk.
So when he finally walked out of the alley connecting the dormitory area and the library, he saw the students who used the teleportation array to directly enter the library that they would never see in their lifetime.
Walking out of the alleyway, he suddenly saw a bright and open in front of him, extremely fresh and humid air came to his nose, Xia Dry grass combed the hair that was blown by the wind, looked at the large wetland forest in front of him, looked at the lush water pine and green bamboo, then he knew that there was such a grand scene inside the college, and he couldn't help but smile slightly, and felt that the fatigue along the way had dissipated a lot, and even the heaviness in his heart seemed to be reduced a little.
So he decided to walk slowly around this small wetland, to see the reeds growing in the water, to see the fish swimming in the shadows of the water, to listen to the chirping of unknown insects in the forest beside him, and to listen to the melodious sound of birds resting on the branches of the trees.
The campus where the library is located is not as uninhabited as the freshman dormitory where Xia Kucao lives, but whenever a classmate passes by, looking at the white ribbon around his waist with that slightly startled gaze, he winks a little mischievously, and then nods his head very politely.
Walking around, Xia Kucao took a breath, and suddenly felt that it was really good to be able to enter this academy, even if he might die on the spot a month later, but he felt that it was not a loss to see these little people who might never see them.
So he further thought about the size of this academy and the size of this new world that he had crossed over, and he couldn't help but decide to live hard to see how beautiful and good this vast world was, and whether he could make this world a better place.
With this in mind, he stepped on the unpolished stone slab, and finally came to the library located in the deepest part of the Mizusawa Wetland.
Xia Kucao looked up at the wooden building in front of her, and couldn't help but think that even if it was to better match the surrounding water and wetlands, it was too exaggerated for this very historical library to be a wooden building, and it must have been the extremely skillful seal of the previous deans of this academy.
As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but take a closer look at the nine-story wooden building in front of him-
This wooden building is very ordinary in terms of appearance, there is no trace of external reinforcement, there is no fancy makeup, the eaves are hooked, it is simply rising in the center of this wetland, and it is silent and silent I don't know how many springs and autumns have been spent.
There was no staff on duty at the entrance of the library - this was the Sealer Academy, which would not arrange a night watchman at the entrance and exit in the middle of the night, and it had extremely secret surveillance measures, so it was not surprising that Xia Kucao, who had experience, and after repeatedly confirming that this wooden building did not miss the strangeness, he stepped forward and gently pushed open the hidden wooden door.
Xia Dry Grass calmed down for a while, tidied up her clothes, and stepped in.
