Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Mysterious Librarian
After a night of silence, Benjamin was woken up from his deep sleep by an excited Christine early the next morning:
"Hey, you've been asleep for a long time, hurry up, don't you hear it, hurry up, let's wait for you in the restaurant." Then there was another hard banging on the door before it fell silent.
"Alas, is this the daughter of the Grand Duke of Purple Moon, why doesn't it have any taste of nobility at all, really. Benjamin rubbed his sleepy eyes and muttered discontentedly, but he had to get up from the soft bed, or he didn't know what the witch would do more outrageously, and how embarrassed it would be to be bombarded by a magic.
......
"Hey, hurry up and eat, I'll be waiting for you alone. As soon as Benjamin sat down, Christine began to urge.
"Hey, okay, okay, let's go. Benjamin stuffed a bunch of food into his mouth and reluctantly got up and left.
After passing through the business district and grading the reception desk in the administrative district, everyone finally arrived at the front of the library.
"Is this the library?" Benjamin stood in front of the door of the library, surprised, the largest building in the entire administrative district, the whole library was made of stone that Benjamin had never seen before, the whole body was milky white, showing an orderly arrangement, but this arrangement Benjamin felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it. There are a lot of nodes and patterns engraved on the wall, it should be a magic array, but even Christine, a fourth-level magician, can't identify these magic arrays, let alone others, and everyone can feel that the surrounding air is full of strong magic elements and energy fluctuations, which makes people admire from the bottom of their hearts.
"Hello, please show your pass. A middle-aged man about forty years old appeared in front of everyone and said neither humbly nor arrogantly. It's just that after everyone saw him, they gasped, but they didn't expect this person to be a sixth-level magician.
"Oh, okay......" Soon the crowd recovered from their surprise, and Benjamin handed his pass to the magician, and Christine handed her her too.
"Huh?" the magician in charge of verifying his identity also looked shocked when he saw Benjamin's pass, his eyes full of envy, "Please wait a moment." After saying that, the magician turned around and took two steps, and a light enveloped it and disappeared, and everyone saw that it was actually a teleportation magic array.
After a while, the magician reappeared in front of everyone, raised his hand and tapped on Christine and Isabella, and a mark appeared on the man's forehead, and then he said:
"You two go in. β
After a pause, he pointed to Benjamin and Ruoqing again, and said:
"You two come with me. β
"Well, can't we be together?" asked Benjamin.
"It's arranged by the curator, you can ask the curator if you have any questions, let's go. β
"Oh, okay. Benjamin didn't say much, nodded to Christine and Isabella, and then walked into the teleportation array with Ruoqing with the magician, and in a flash, the three of them came to the other end of the teleportation array, Benjamin took a look, it was a long corridor, but at the end of the long corridor was a huge wooden door with a height of about five meters, and the wooden door was carved with magic patterns, and he and the others were standing at the other end of the corridor, the entire corridor was almost twenty meters, and there was only one room,
"Go in yourselves. β
The leading mage pointed to the room at the end of the corridor, then turned back into the teleportation circle and left. Benjamin and Ruoqing glanced at each other, nodded knowingly and walked forward, but as soon as he took the first step, Benjamin felt a warm current rushing to wrap himself in it, extremely comfortable, and when he was intoxicated, Ruoqing suddenly exclaimed,
"Ahh
Benjamin hurriedly turned his head to look at Ruoqing, only to find that Ruoqing's face was pale, beads of sweat the size of beans were dripping from his forehead, and the whole person was still trembling......
"Ruoqing," Benjamin hurriedly went over to support Ruoqing, "what's wrong with you?
"I ...... I don't know......" Ruoqing found that when Benjamin touched her, the original cold and piercing feeling seemed to disappear suddenly, and instead a warm current came from the place where Benjamin touched herself, dispelling all the original chill, "Huh? β
"Nothing?" asked Benjamin, puzzled.
"......" Ruoqing was about to answer, but the door slowly opened, and a soft blue light sucked the two directly into the room.
"You're finally here. β
At this time, the two of them barely calmed down, and saw an old man with silver hair standing behind the table in front of him, but the strange thing was that the old man's skin was as smooth as a mirror, without a trace of wrinkles, and he was wearing a white mage robe, without any markings, but it gave people a strong pressure, making people feel that they did not dare to raise their heads in front of this old man. Benjamin, however, felt that the voice seemed familiar......
"Huh?" Benjamin suddenly remembered something, and an angry expression appeared on his face, "I remember, it's you old guy, who caused me to fall out of bed several times, who are you? Why did you want me to come to the imperial capital?"
"Hehe, don't worry, I'll tell you later. After the old man finished speaking, he smiled, waved his hand at Benjamin, Benjamin felt that he fell into darkness in an instant, wanted to move but found that he seemed to be restrained, and then felt that he had lost all perception of the outside world, could not see or hear, opened his mouth but could not speak, this feeling was extremely strange and uncomfortable, but Benjamin had no way but could only hold back his anger and endure it......
"Okay, now let's talk about you first," the old man said to Ruoqing at this time in the ancient elven language, "I know you are a blood elf, but you don't have to be afraid for the time being." β
Ruoqing was already very surprised when she heard the old man say the ancient elf language, and then revealed her true identity, and her heart was even more panicked, you must know that the blood elves in this world have already been a legendary existence, if they are reached by their own identity, they will definitely be captured and studied by those powerful humans, but in front of this old man, let me feel that I can't resist at all, under this kind of strength, not to mention whether I have the ability, I don't even have the courage to resist, after hearing what the old man said will not hurt myself for the time being, Ruoqing's fear has been slightly reduced, and she said tremblingly:
"That'...... So what do you want to ...... What do you want from me?"
"Of course it's because of him," said the old man, pointing to Benjamin, who was motionless, "otherwise I wouldn't have the strength to pay attention to your little thing." β
"You...... You know ......" Ruoqing suddenly became nervous after hearing what the old man said, because she knew very well what Benjamin's awakening meant.
"You don't have to think about it, even if he awakens, it's not a big deal," the old man's tone revealed a little disdain, "I came to you because he didn't just awaken, but as you, he had to face more ......."
Just when the old man and Ruoqing were talking, Benjamin found that the sealed astrologer inheritance in his body seemed to be a little abnormal, and some fragments kept flashing in his mind, except for the scene where the god of death appeared when he saw him last time when he received this inheritance, the rest of them had never seen before, but he didn't know why, but he felt that he was not unfamiliar...... More and more pictures flashed, Benjamin gradually felt as if his head was torn open and kept stuffing these into it, the whole head was swollen as if it was about to explode, and when he felt that he was about to be unbearable, a bright starlight projected down, and the previous swelling suddenly disappeared, replaced by a sense of clarity, incomparably clear and clear, and at the same time, his original lost perception was instantly restored, at this time Benjamin felt that a starry sky seemed to appear in his brain, and it was this starry sky that helped him get rid of the previous shacklesγ
"Huh?" the old man noticed Benjamin's abnormality, but ignored it, and then said to Ruoqing: "You leave first, you need to decide how to choose." β
"Ruoqing, are you okay. Benjamin didn't see anything unusual about Ruoqing, but he felt that something was wrong.
"I see, Master. Ruoqing said respectfully, then turned around and was about to leave, and when she passed by Benjamin's side, she stopped and said, "I'm fine, I'll go out to find them first, don't worry." β
"Oh, well. Although Benjamin felt strange in his heart, Ruoqing refused to say, and Benjamin had nothing to do, so he had to watch Ruoqing leave.
"I didn't expect you to get the astrologer's inheritance, I really didn't expect it. After Ruoqing left the room, the old man said, but Benjamin was taken aback by a mouth, "You don't have to worry, I have no ill intentions, the descendants of the Direano family ......"
