Chapter 57: The Magic Guild's Library

As the only official organization of magicians, the Magic Guild has opened its own chapters in almost every corner of Talumia. The mages it includes have even crossed the boundaries of race, and even some alien cities have branches of magic guilds.

After Xu Yue walked into the hall of the Magic Guild Branch, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw that every person coming and going here was wearing a mage robe. You must know that magicians are not often seen as a spell-casting profession, and only in places like the Magic Guild will see so much.

On the first floor of the Magic Guild Tower was a huge office hall, where some people were talking to some magic apprentices who were obviously clerks at the counter that specialized in handling various things, and some magicians were sitting in the lounge area of the hall talking about something.

Xu Yue even saw a mage of the dwarf clan and a mage of the elf clan arguing about something with a parchment scroll that seemed to depict a magic array, and the two did not care about the difference in race and height between the two sides.

Seeing him standing alone at the door of the hall, a man in a magic robe walked over, and saw that the mark on the robe was that this was a high-level magic apprentice, who should be a clerk of the magic guild to which he belonged.

"May the mysteries of magic guide you!Hello, is there anything you have to do?" said the magic apprentice, placing his hand on his right shoulder and nodding. This is the usual etiquette for a mage to meet.

"Hello!I'm coming to the Magic Guild for the first time, may I ask where I should go if I want to handle the business of money and borrowing books?" said Xu Yue politely replied.

"If you want to make money, you can do it at counter 5 in the lobby on the first floor. If you want to borrow books, please go to the library on the third floor. The magic apprentice introduced.

After thanking the magic apprentice, Xu Yue followed the signs on the counter in the hall to find counter five. What made him a little different was that the clerk who helped people with business here turned out to be a green-skinned goblin. Look at this goblin is also wearing a mage robe, and the logo on it is the logo of a high-level magic apprentice.

This made him have to sigh that the Magic Guild has indeed achieved tolerance for magicians regardless of race, you must know that goblins because of the talent of their own race, the probability of wanting to become a magician is very low, but he didn't expect that he would see a goblin mage mage just by a branch of the union. But having a goblin handle the money side of the business is really a good one.

"What business do you have to attend?" asked the goblin in his characteristic high-pitched voice. It gave him the illusion that his partner, Ivo, was sitting next to him.

At the same time, I saw the goblin slightly press a magic array the size of a bottle cap next to him, and suddenly a magic enchantment enveloped the two of them. From the outside, not only can you not see the scene inside, but you can't hear the sound inside.

"I borrowed a sum of money from the Magic Guild and now I want to pay off my debts. Xu Yue adjusted his mood and said politely.

The goblin didn't look at him too much, but took out a form and said, "Please fill in the date of your debt, the time, place and number of the debt deed you signed, and sign your name." Finally, please give me the amount to be repaid, and if the amount is too large, please use a memory card. ”

Xu Yue took the form in his hand and suddenly had the illusion that he was withdrawing money from the Earth Bank, but he quickly dispelled the weirdness in his heart, and then quickly filled in his information on the form. He then took out a gold coin memory card and handed it to the goblin.

The goblin put the memory card in a small magic circle on the table and operated it for a while, only to see a slight flash of smoothness on the memory card. Then the goblin raised his head and said, "The amount you borrowed is 200,000 gold coins, plus the interest for this period of time, a total of 210,000 gold coins! The money has been deducted from your card, you can check the amount." ”

While Xu Yue lamented that the magic guild's magic automation process was about the same as that of the earth, he was also a little helpless about the high interest on the magic guild's debts. After all, he did not go to the relevant lending institution to handle the official loan at that time, so it is understandable that the interest rate is a little higher.

After completing the repayment, I saw that the goblin lightly clicked from the magic array where the card was placed, and the next moment he saw a ball of light the size of a ping-pong ball appear on the magic array, he handed this ball of light to Xu Yue and said: "This is the magic contract signed when the loan was made, and now that the contract has been completed, as long as you recover the core of the contract, the contract can be terminated." ”

Xu Yue had learned about this from books, and he pressed the ball of light on his head, and suddenly felt as if a layer of restraint on his soul had suddenly disappeared. He knew that this was the phenomenon of the magical contract being terminated after the conditions were met.

After a slight salute, he left the hall on the first floor and walked up a spiral of steps.

The second floor of the Magic Guild seems to be used for all kinds of transactions, and some magicians buy some things and leave from time to time at the counter here. There are also people who take something to sell. He didn't make it over, this time his main purpose was the library on the third floor.

As the largest official organization of magicians in Talumia, the Magic Guild has been established for nearly 10,000 years, which is almost longer than the emergence of human civilization on Earth. In such a long period of time, the Magic Guild was established from scratch, and over the years, it has collected and accumulated unimaginable magical knowledge, and it can be said that this is the most noble holy place for magicians.

Nowadays, as long as the magician who has registered in the magic guild can consult and learn magic knowledge after paying a certain amount of money, although this knowledge is only the most basic and ordinary, but with the huge heritage of the magic guild, this knowledge is still like an ocean.

Pushing open the door of the library with the lingua franca of Talumia written on it, Xu Yue was stunned by the magnificent landscape in front of him. The Magic Guild's magic tower itself was only forty meters in diameter, but this room seemed to be at least five hundred meters long and wide.

Rows of bookshelves are neatly arranged in this room, and the books densely placed on the shelves make people feel as if they are about to be buried by books.

"May the mysteries of magic guide you! What book would you like to borrow, young mage?" a gentle voice came from the side.

Xu Yue turned around and saw an old mage in a magic robe sitting behind a desk that was obviously used for office. The mark on the old mage's chest indicates that he is a third-level mage. The mage looked to be in his sixties, with his snow-white hair neatly combed back, and the smile on his face made people feel an immersive gentleness.

A little embarrassed, Xu Yue bowed and said, "I'm sorry! I've never been to the guild's library before, so I'm surprised by the sheer size of this place. ”

The old magician nodded in understanding and said with a smile, "You don't have to care. In fact, every magician who comes here for the first time will have the same appearance as you! After all, space magic is not common anywhere else. So, young mage, do you have anything you need help with?"

Xu Yue said with some respect to the old magician, who was obviously a librarian: "I borrowed a few books such as 'Introduction to the Basic Characteristics of Elements', 'Basic Principles of Spell Model Architecture', 'Preliminary Solution of Magic Formulas', and 'Detailed Explanation of First-level General Spells'. ”

After listening to his words, the old magician looked at him and said with a smile: "It seems that you are going to learn the relevant knowledge of a first-level magician, but you are only starting to see this knowledge now, but it is a little lagging behind, after all, knowledge is the foundation of magic learning." ”

Xu Yue smiled a little helplessly: "I can't help it." My teacher passed away in an accident, and I couldn't come to the Magic Guild because of some things, so I had to put it off until now. ”

After listening to his words, the old mage nodded in understanding and said, "The path of pursuing the mysteries of magic is always full of dangers, and your teacher is not the first seeker to fall on the path of pursuing the mysteries of magic. Put away your sorrow and move forward bravely, this is the best reward for your teacher's teaching. Okay, people talk a lot when they get old, this is the book you want, as long as you show your inheritance mark and pay four hundred gold coins, you can come here to read these books in ten days, but you can't take them out of the library!"

The old mage waved his hand after speaking, and suddenly saw four books fly out of a few bookshelves in the distance and come to him. Xu Yue was not surprised that the old mage could use the mage's hand to hold the book at such a distance, but what surprised him was that the other party could find the book he wanted from such a huge crowd of books without even reading it, which required an understanding of the location of these hundreds of thousands of books to do so.

Looking at the smiling old mage, Xu Yue took the four books with gratitude, and then showed the inheritance mark of his right hand to a special magic array, and after checking it, he used the gold coin storage card to pay for the borrowing.

Two-thirds of the library is dedicated to bookshelves. The rest was used for benches and tables, on which many magicians were sitting and reading their books on the table in front of them.

The whole library is like the library of those universities on Earth, so quiet that only the sound of books being turned can be heard. If it weren't for the fact that you could see some of the magical creatures that linger on the mage's body, and the magic patterns on some of the equipment placed next to them, you would think this is just an ordinary university library.

Xu Yue found a relatively remote and unoccupied place and sat down, he quietly opened the basic book, first flipped through the brief content of the book, and then picked up a book to read in detail. But as time passed, a strange look gradually appeared on his face.
