122. Insulting dwarf jokes
Hearing the opportunity to join the Demon Order, the sound of revelry rang out among the group of students.
A smile also appeared on the corner of Russell's mouth, and his eyes revealed irrepressible excitement and ecstasy.
This is your chance to truly join the Red Order of Chaos and gain access to deeper secrets!
Vermouth sensed the change in Russell's expression and cast him an approving look.
If it is a natural demon child like Russell, he will definitely be able to pass the Order's entrance test with excellent results! Vermouth is convinced.
This is the downline of his joint development with Nocturne, and he will definitely be rewarded for digging such a good seedling.
"As long as I can join the Demon Order, I promise that I will not do any good things, and all kinds of bad things will be done!" Russell raised his fist, solemnly swore an oath, honestly said what was on his mind, and cheered with the other students.
Russell and Vermouth looked at each other.
Look at each other and smile, everything is silent.
…………
7 p.m. the next day.
Russell arrives at the library.
The library of the International Academy of Legalism and Occultity is a separate building that looks like several books stacked on top of each other.
"This should be my first visit, right?"
In Russell's experience, the library is a very special location that can easily trigger special plots.
For example, the legendary Demon King may be sealed in a book!
Russell also knows that the special profession of "librarian" has a high affinity with the main character.
If he is not careful, he may be dragged to be a librarian, and he will have an extra job to do for no reason!
Russell came to the library today, not just to prepare for the final exam for the Principles of Witchcraft class.
More importantly, he wanted to check out the books that recorded the past of the academy to see if it was possible that the Demon King was really sealed inside the academy!
Russell pushed open the glass door and walked into the library, greeted by rows and rows of bookshelves, which was dazzling.
The librarian is a humanoid wooden puppet who, according to Subway, has the strength of the early second year, and is barely considered a strong man in the elementary school.
When the puppet saw Russell enter the door, he beckoned to welcome:
"This is the first time this student has come here, so if you want to find any kind of books or any questions about books, you can ask me."
"Do you know every book in the library?" Russell asked curiously.
"Of course, my memory is far better than that of humans," the wooden puppet patted his chest proudly, "I have carefully studied the title of every book in the library. ”
Seeing Russell's disappointed expression, it hurriedly added: "There are some books, I have even read through the catalog. ”
There were still a number of self-study students in the library, and Russell was worried about the crowd, so he moved a little closer to the wooden golem and put his face in front of the golem's ear - although Russell was not sure if the wooden ear was the puppet's voice sensing organ.
"The book I'm looking for is very special and secretive, involving dangerous secrets, is there one in the library?"
He was referring to books involving the Demon King.
On the face carved out of the wooden puppet, a smart human expression appeared, and his brows were furrowed, and he also put his mouth to Russell's ear, and lowered his voice: "Yes, yes, I'll show you......"
Bang dang.
Before the puppet librarian could finish speaking, a dwarven student hurried into the library.
The dwarven student's beard was beautifully groomed - Russell recognized her at a glance as the dwarven girl who had taken the "beard wand that only works for women".
"I heard from my fellow clan that there is a book in the library that insults the 4,000-year-old history of the dwarven tradition, and it needs to be corrected immediately! I'm going to put the author's name in our family's Book of Hate. The dwarf was furious.
"Books that insult dwarven traditions? Are you talking about the book "The Book of Dwarves Not Hate—an encyclopedia of all the things in the world that dwarves don't hate"? The puppet asked.
"Yes, yes, that's it!" The dwarven student nodded vigorously.
"But the book is blank, not a word." The puppet spread its hands outstretched, looking innocent.
"It's because it's blank that it insults us dwarves!" The dwarven student almost jumped, "Doesn't that mean that we dwarves hold grudges and hate everything?" ”
The puppet pressed down with both hands to reassure the dwarven students: "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, the book you said is not in our library." ”
"Absent?" The dwarf looked skeptical.
She threatened, "If you dare to lie to me, I'll put your lump of wood in our family's Book of Hate!" The name is right behind the elf who invented 'Make the Dwarves Fly Hammer'! ”
"You can search for it, and if it's in the library, I'll use it as firewood for you." The puppet is very determined.
The dwarven students went deep into the library, walked through the relevant sections, scanned each book on the shelves, and returned to the door.
"Well, it's not there, maybe I'm mistaken. I'm sorry for that. ”
Before leaving, the dwarf finally found Russell who was watching the play next to him, and smiled:
"Isn't this Russell? Last time, you suggested that the 'Beard Finishing Magic Stick' that Xinghuo gave me is very useful, and I have already promoted it in the family, and I will order a batch from Xinghuo in the future. Aside from the fact that men can't use it, this wand has no other drawbacks. Thank you very much. ”
She remembered something again, and said indignantly to Russell:
"My family and I are tracking down the elven craftsman who invented 'Let the Dwarves Fly Hammer' and sold the drawings to Starfire. If you have news of that damn pointy ear, remember to let me know, and there's a big reward! ”
With that, the dwarf left the library.
When the wooden puppet saw that the dwarf was far away, he crept up to Russell, leaned in front of his ear, and said:
"Classmate, the book you're looking for is at the top of the eighth row of the shelves."
"Top? Not on the shelf? ”
"Yes, the dwarves won't see it!"
"Why should the dwarves not be seen?" Russell looked dazed.
He's looking for literature about the Demon King.
Russell basically guessed where the wooden puppet had misunderstood.
The puppet asked, confused:
"Classmate, you said, a very special and secretive, dangerous book, isn't it, the dwarf just found the one that insulted the 4,000-year-old history of the dwarf tradition, uh, "The Book of Dwarves Don't Hate - an encyclopedia of all the things that dwarves don't hate in the world?"
"It's not." Russell said, "And it's useless for me to ask for a book that's all blank." ”
"And what book do you want to read?"
"I want to know about the literature about the Demon King, especially how the Demon King disappeared, and its relationship with the Academy, etc."
The wooden puppet gasped (although Russell couldn't figure out why the wooden man had a respiratory system) and relaxed:
"Did you think you were looking for some dangerous book? The kind of literature you are talking about, just say it out loud. ”
The wooden golem gave Russell an approximate location.
Russell walked towards the corresponding bookshelf area.
On the way, he passed by the district and scanned the titles of the books at random.
In Russell's experience, if a book were to appear later in the plot, there was a good chance that he would happen to see it right now.
His gaze swept roughly over the district bookshelf, and Russell's eyes were immediately attracted by a book with a very distinctive title.
"Immortal Emperor Lin Daiyu"
As soon as Russell took the book, he heard a crisp female voice echoing in his heart.
"Russell, here's a book that I seem to have read when I was alive."
……
(The dwarf section, which integrates and adapts five or six different stalks, is basically related to the fantasy dwarf stereotype, so I hereby note it.) Among them, the "Book of Enemies" is derived from the warhammer, which is a book for dwarves to record hateful things, reflecting the stubborn characteristics of dwarves in remembering grudges. )
Because a more important plot twist is about to be ushered in, the chapter at 9 o'clock tomorrow will be advanced to 0 o'clock.
