Chapter Seventy-One, Library, Black-robed Man, Witch
With a shield in one hand and a torch in the other, Ed cautiously explored the depths of the burrow, and Heidi cowered behind him, ready to flee at any moment.
There are also two guards, however, they have no combat effectiveness, and it is okay to bully ordinary people, and it is waste to deal with monsters.
"This cave is so deep."
The two walked for more than ten minutes before they could see the end, and Heidi began to complain: "Brother Ed, you go quickly, it's dark and damp here, let's go back quickly after killing the earth dragon." ”
"Yes, Sister Heidi."
Ed said yes, but in his mind he was thinking about how he could trick Heidi into changing her mind and leaving this dangerous place.
That's an earth dragon! Senior mages don't dare to provoke casually, he is just an intermediate knight, and if he fights, he doesn't know how to die!
However, he didn't want to see his beloved sister Heidi angry, so he could only go forward.
The group finally reached the end of the cave, only to find it empty.
"Strange, why didn't you see the Earth Dragon?"
Seeing that there was no danger around, Heidi went out to check, and she found some blood stains on the walls and ground.
"Something seems to have been killed and eaten......"
The torch moved to the wall, and Heidi was startled: "Ah, there's a corpse in the stone!" ”
Ed immediately rushed over, and the two of them carefully identified each other, with surprise on their faces: "It's the Earth Dragon!" ”
Although the earth dragon was embedded in the stone, and a small half of it was torn off by Lin Yi, it could still be vaguely distinguished.
"Who drove the Earth Dragon to this point? I got into the rock......"
Ed's face turned pale, the earth dragon is already a very powerful creature, and now that it has been killed, how powerful is the thing that killed it?
Heidi stomped her foot angrily: "Someone was the first to get there, hum!" I can't get revenge on Ruby! ”
After saying that, she still didn't understand the hatred in her heart, and took out the thin sword on her waist and poked it a few times on the remnants of the earth dragon, splashing blood all over her body.
didn't fight with the earth dragon, Ed breathed a long sigh of relief, and he quickly persuaded Heidi to leave: "Sister, since the earth dragon is dead, let's go back too, didn't you say that it's dark and trendy here?" Now that you're covered in blood, go back and wash yourself. ”
Heidi was persuaded by Ed to leave, but she was still wondering, "What the hell did the Earth Dragon get killed?" ”
……
Lin Yi looked at the huge rotunda in front of him, he was very surprised, he thought that he would appear in a place like a forest and grassland, but he didn't expect that he would come to a building.
Looking at the neatly arranged bookshelves inside, Lin Yi wondered if he had come to the library?
Crash! Crash!
The sound of chains dragging on the ground suddenly sounded in the quiet hall, Lin Yi immediately found a corner to hide, and then saw a person in a tattered black robe, with heavy shackles on his feet, walking past in front of him.
The head of this mysterious black-robed man was covered by a cloak, and he couldn't see it clearly, but there was a black aura constantly rising around him, and he was not an ordinary human at first glance.
"Don't provoke this big brother, I'll go around here, and I'll flash people if it's not interesting."
Since he has come, of course Lin Yi has to figure out what kind of place this is.
Listening to the sound of chains in the distance, Lin Yi climbed out and squirmed towards the bookshelf in front of him.
"This row of bookshelves is 'history'...... This row is 'Painting'...... It seems that this is really a library. ”
Lin Yi crawled between the rows of bookshelves, and when he saw a few books falling from the shelves to the ground, he crawled over to see the contents inside.
"What the hell? I don't understand! ”
Lin Yi flipped through it casually, and couldn't understand the text on it at all.
"What do you get by eating these books?"
Suddenly, on a whim, he wanted to try it, what are the benefits of eating books.
"Do you want to devour Shelley's Essentials of Painting?"
"The digestion time is about 1 hour, and it is expected to gain the talent [painting]."
Lin Yi's eyes lit up: "Haha! You can also get talents by eating books! That's great! ”
"Hehe, when I was in school, I really wished I could eat the book and acquire the knowledge inside...... Now that wish has come true! ”
Although there is no attribute value gain, but the natural skills are also very good, Lin Yi decided to live in this strange library and make himself "knowledgeable" by eating books.
Anyway, there was time, and he decided to eat all the books here!
So, Lin Yi began his own study...... No, it's supposed to be a book-eating trip.
In order not to leave it out, Lin Yi started according to the order of the bookshelves and ate them one by one.
Eat "history" first, then "sculpture", then "architecture......
Now his size has increased a little because he has eaten the earth dragon, so he can eat more than ten books at a time, and the efficiency is very fast.
The mysterious black-robed man would wander around the library from time to time, Lin Yi carefully avoided this strange man, he was not in the mood to investigate the identity of this black-robed man, anyway, just don't disturb him to eat books.
Ten days later.
"What is written in this book is bullshit!"
Lin Yi digested the "Goldsmith of Gaode" in his stomach while flipping through a book called "Slime Research Codex".
After these days of hard work, Lin Yi has probably eaten more than a thousand books, and he can already fully understand the words of this world, and even understand the meaning of the words and sentences combined.
Although I don't know how to pronounce words yet, I have no trouble reading words.
"Slimes don't poop, has the author of this book ever seen a slime?"
Lin Yi pouted, he had been in this world for more than half a month, and he had eaten so many things, and he had never pulled a poop once!
"You can't eat this kind of garbage book without nutrition, so as not to eat it and spoil your stomach!"
Lin Yi casually threw the book aside.
Now, instead of eating everything, he eats books selectively.
For example, novels, poems, etc., after eating, he only learned to tell stories, which did not help his strength to improve.
That's why he prefers to eat tools like books that teach people how to forge weapons or how to use weapons.
"Well, I've eaten almost all the books in the hall outside, and there's only a red bookshelf left in that hut......"
Lin Yi's gaze moved to a small room at the end of the hall, the door of the room was open, and a red bookshelf could be seen inside.
The reason why I haven't gone in is because the mysterious black-robed man stayed inside.
"There must be good things on the shelves in the hut, I must find a way to get in."
Lin Yi hid to the side and secretly observed, groping for the black-robed man's movements.
He noticed that every three hours, the black-robed man would come out of the hut and wander throughout the library before returning to the hut.
But Lin Yi wasn't sure if there was an alarm mechanism or anything like that in the hut, so he was ready to run away at any time.
With the skill of [Strengthening Escape], he can escape to the ground at any time.
There was another thing that made Lin Yi feel very strange, he ate most of the books in the library, and the black-robed man didn't even notice it, which was very wrong.
Could it be that the other party doesn't care if the books are missing? Is it simply to prevent people from coming in?
Lin Yi couldn't figure it out, anyway, if the black-robed man didn't come to arrest him, he wouldn't leave.
After waiting quietly for three hours, the black-robed man dragged the chain out of it, and the sound of the uproar gradually faded away, Lin Yi seized the opportunity and got into the house with a [Enhanced Snake Walk].
This room was only about ten square meters, and in addition to the red bookshelf, Lin Yi also saw a locked iron door.
"What's in there?"
Lin Yi leaned over curiously, and inside the iron gate was a passage leading to the underground, which was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
"Leave this iron door alone, hurry up and see what books are on the red shelves."
Lin Yi crawled over and looked up at the class label on the shelf.
"Magic...... it! It's magic! ”
Lin Yi was so excited that he had to jump up, of course, he had no feet and couldn't jump.
"When I learn magic, I become stronger! If I meet a player, I also have the strength to fight, and even if I can't beat it, at least I can protect myself. ”
Looking back at the door, the black-robed man had not yet returned, and Lin Yi immediately started to act.
"A Guide to Mastering Fire Magic", "A Brief Introduction to Boulthography", "Discussion of Space Magic", ......
Eat! Eat them all!
Lin Yi stuffed sixteen books into his stomach in one go, and then shrank in a corner waiting to be digested.
In fact, he can also do other things while digesting, but experiments have proved that staying still is more helpful for digestion, otherwise, the digestion time will be prolonged.
Three hours passed, and Lin Yi had eaten forty-nine books and learned more than a dozen kinds of magic from them.
"Although these spells have been strengthened under the influence of the golden finger, it always feels like they are some very rudimentary magic."
Lin Yi looked at his attribute panel and shook his head.
[Name]: Xiao Soft
[Type]: Slime
[LEVEL]: 1 (MAX)

"Let's get here today, the black-robed man is coming back." Lin Yi heard the sound of chains outside, and he immediately used [Enhancement Retreat] to leave the hut.
In this way, it took Lin Yi three days to finally eat all the books on the red bookshelf and learn more than twenty kinds of elementary magic.
Listening to the sound of the black-robed man's chains getting closer, Lin Yi looked at the iron door, it was time to go in and see what was inside.
The iron gate can't stop Lin Yi, and he has all kinds of ways to solve it.
"[Enhanced Lockpicking]!"
This is the most direct and easiest way, Lin Yi doubts, is the person who invented this magic a thief?
The lock opened in response, and Lin Yi pushed open the iron door and walked into the dark corridor.
Sticking to the wall and going down, the road was very long, Lin Yi felt that he should have walked more than a thousand meters, and still didn't see the end, he began to wonder where this road leads.
Finally, Lin Yi came to the end of the corridor, where there was also a door with a note similar to a spell pasted on it, which seemed to be a seal.
Lin Yi looked at the words on the seal and said, "In the name of Archmage Leomund, seal the witch Falina here forever......"
"So there's a witch sealed here."
Lin Yi was a little disappointed, he thought there was some treasure in it.
"Let's go, let's go back to another place."
Lin Yi was about to leave, when he suddenly heard a woman's voice coming from the sealed iron door: "Hey! Slime! Don't leave! ”
"Oh? Can she see me? ”
Lin Yi was a little surprised, but he didn't plan to deal with this witch, but walked faster.
"Damn! Don't go, please, help me! ”
The witch Falina seemed to be panicked, and her voice was anxious: "I've been trapped here for three hundred years, I've had enough, please save me!" ”
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in witches."
In movies and anime, witches are mostly beautiful and kind, but not necessarily in reality.
Lin Yi is not stupid enough, taking fiction as reality, witches are definitely dangerous creatures!
So he didn't want to have the slightest connection with the witch, so as not to get himself in trouble.
"Can you speak? Slimes can actually talk? ”
Farina was taken aback, she tugged hard at the chains on her body, and shouted excitedly, "You're the first slime I've ever seen, who can talk!" ”
"What's new? Not only can I talk, but I can also sing! ”
Lin Yi snorted disdainfully and responded.
"Slime, don't go, I can make you stronger!" In order to keep Lin Yi, Falina kept promising him benefits: "I can also turn you into a human, you monsters yearn for humans the most, right?" ”
"Just tell me if you want to be a man or a woman, and I can help you make it happen!"
"Alas, don't go, Slime! Let's talk about ......"
Lin Yi didn't bother to talk nonsense with Farina, he had already crawled along the corridor to the exit.
Whoa!
Suddenly, there was the sound of chains mopping the floor in front of the corridor, and Lin Yi was shocked: "Isn't it, the black-robed man found out that I came in?" ”
Thinking of this, he hurriedly retreated, preparing to use the [Enhanced Retreat] to escape.
Unbeknownst to him, he hit his head on the stone wall and failed.
"What's the situation? How did the Retreat Technique work? ”
Lin Yi was surprised.
Farina's voice rang out: "Stupid! This dungeon is built in a Black Magic Stone Mine, surrounded by Black Magic Stones, which are insulated from all magic! ”
"Otherwise, do you think my great witch will be trapped in this kind of place?"
Lin Yi suddenly said: "No wonder my magic skills have failed. ”
He was full of books, and of course he knew the role of the Black Magic Stone, but now he had to hurry up and find a way to deal with the upcoming black-robed man.
"I can't use my skills, my combat effectiveness is greatly reduced!"
Lin Yi looked around, looking for a way to escape from here, but unfortunately, there was only one exit from the dungeon.
"There's no way, I can only fight hard with the black-robed man!"
This was the last thing Lin Yi wanted to do, because he didn't know much about the black-robed man and couldn't make a judgment, which was fatal.
If the strength of the black-robed man is terrifying, then wouldn't he have to die here?
"Slime! You help me tear the seal off, and I'll find a way to save you! ”
Farina's voice sounded again, and Lin Yi directly ignored it.
Fool me, right? You can't even save yourself and save me?
Whoa!
The figure of the black-robed man appeared at the entrance of the dungeon, and Lin Yi found that this guy did not come empty-handed, but carried a sharp giant sword!
