Chapter 21: It doesn't matter
The mortal old man, who appeared to be a civil official, lay in a comfortable armchair with his eyes closed, which made Lamizane's footsteps unconsciously soften, and they stood at the long table for a moment, until some black and white stuffed tyrant let out an impatient low roar, and the sound even caused a ripple under the dome - the old man opened his eyes, as if he had just noticed a visitor in the library.
"Alas, whose child is disturbing an old man's rest? Oh, it's you, meet again, Peturabo, and for all your own rudeness, I have to say hello to the guests next to you, good evening, everyone. β
Bian Muyuan snorted coldly, while Ramizane was a little embarrassed, "Sorry, it's our abrupt visit that bothered me, Peturabo, shhhhh He lowered his voice, "Be quiet in the library." β
[Don't believe his pretense, Lamizan, he already knew that we were coming, the moment you opened the door, he did this just to suppress your momentum at the beginning of the conversation, so as to maintain the initiative over you in the follow-up conversation. γ
[Huh?] Pepe, I don't know him and I don't have a stake in him, why would he do this? γ
[Ha, because he always did, he just likes and is used to doing it. γ
Lamizan turned his gaze to the old man as he communicated with Perturabo in his mind, and he took off his helmet and made his usual honest and honest smile of apology to the old man, who seemed to be knowledgeable and shrewd.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem!"
The lines of wisdom on the old man's face suddenly shrank along with his features, and his kind and generous mask seemed to crack for a moment, and it was like Ramizan just struck him with a straight punch to the stomach with a smile.
"Are you alright? Can I help you? Lamizan looked at the other with ice-blue eyes, earnestly, worriedly, and leaned over half of the long table, as if to reach out to lift the old man up or help himβ
Dorn's mechanical eyes shimmered with interest, and even Perturabo unconsciously took his eyes off the body of the old and weak Iron Warrior genetic prototypeβ
"No, kid, I'm fine." The old man's waist was miraculously straightened in an instant, and his feeble cough disappeared at once, and he rose from his armchair and declared that he had never felt so healthy and well, and he immediately declined Lamizane's suggestion to reach out and support him, and asked them what they were here for, while introducing himself to the visitors.
"Welcome to the Great Library, you can call me Kadure." The old man said.
"I am responsible for the registration of books borrowed and returned, as well as the daily maintenance and registration of books and their destruction. As well as the lending regulations of the Library, 1. Each person is limited to a maximum of nine books or books at a time, and no other books can be borrowed until they are all returned; 2. You can't borrow or flip through the books on the shelves that you can't pull out; 3. If you want to lend out the book, you must first come to me to register and seal it before you can leave through the door; 4. If you see anything in the library that moves other than me and myself, leave it at once, and come here to inform me; 5. Make sure you're not alone in the library; 6. There is only one exit from this library, and do not leave through any other exit; 7. If you need to consult a book temporarily, you can read it on the table against the wall over there, and each person can only read nine pages a day; 8. Do not take anything other than books from the Library; 9. I am the only administrator in this library, if you find other administrators, don't have any conversation with each other, and come back to me as soon as possible. β
"Alright." The old man, who called himself Kadure, finished these regulations in one breath, "So what books do you want to borrow from me today?" If you haven't figured it out yet, you can go inside and see for yourself what you need, and I'll be waiting for you here. β
"Ah, thank you for explaining the detailed rules for us, Kadure." Lamizan pondered, and Peturabo was chuckling weirdly in the Psychic Channel, much to Lamizane's surprise, and when he asked, the hairy Fourth Primordial simply replied, "It's nothing, it doesn't matter, you just have to talk to him normally and we'll go back to the office together." He's the executive I'm going to introduce to you. γ
I see, well, if you say so...... "But the last rule...... It's a coincidence, I want to say, Kadore, I'm also a librarian hahaha, does this count as other librarians here hahaha? β
An extremely complex and strange look quickly passed over the face of the old man in front of him: surprise, amazement, incredulity, madness, joy, pain, patience, helplessness, relief, despair, hope...... It mingled with every wrinkle and every inch of his skin, and finally turned into a sigh.
"That's right, I thought," he said slowly, "it does mean that 'I' have spoken to the other administrators. β
He glanced wistfully at the library and the comfortable armchair, and then reached under the long desk with his withered handβand felt for a long staff, which looked old, but it was very long when it was lifted, almost higher than the old man himself, and a golden, somewhat broken eagle perched on top of the staff.
"Let's go. What are you waiting for? He said to the three visitors of different attitudes, "I don't think you've come to me to borrow books, and when I'm not here, this library will be in your hands for the time being." β
"...... me? Me? β
He said to the astonished Lamizane, "Yes, you. If you don't feel like you have time, you can assign someone to manage it temporarily. But don't leave it unmanaged, books are fragile things that need constant care and maintenance. β
"That's true," said the other librarian, with a solemn expression, "I think perhaps...... Magna? I'm still used to calling you Magna...... Well...... Dorne is still a bit ......."
The young Dorn in the hoop showed his understanding with a few flashes of green. "Very well, Magna, can you please allocate some of your resources to take over here for the time being? For example, sending a team of planes to patrol here and keep it clean. β
The Ringman's mechanical eyes flashed a definite green.
"Great," Lamizane said happily, turning his head towards the complicated Kadure, "then let's go, I have an urgent matter for you to do......"
Wail.
Next, it will rain for ten days, and you will have to wipe the long-haired large dog for twenty days, and then you will start to prepare for the New Year to accompany the elders (because the nanny also has to go home for the New Year, the biggest problem is that there is no net, so you can only look at the situation as much as possible)
