[Author's Laughing Lion Bullet Sword2014/03/10Important Announcement: I am grateful to readers for wanting to sponsor my creation, but this book has not signed any contract with the starting point, even if I don't get a reward. I will announce when there is a contract. Now you don't have to break the bank, thank you very much. 】
"You're not just an ordinary bookworm. You are a person who once fought with all his might to survive, and for this reason, he learned all the truths of Shijie regardless of good or evil. You know countless common names, accumulate countless questions, and therefore books are a treasure trove of answers for you. However, after reading so much, you shouldn't be satisfied with just getting answers from others. You will once again embark on the path of facing the problem, to think, to create your own answers. 」
"I don't think so. Rick grabbed his hair and shifted to a relaxed position with all his body weight on one foot, "I really don't think I want to go out. 」
"You don't want to go out, but you definitely want to go out too. "I've seen Evansaar before, and he's not a brave man, and if possible, he'd like to hide somewhere, and never have to face problems. But you're the same as him. You are not brave, but you still have courage. So I know you're going to get out. Don't you want to know where you come from?"
"However, it is illegal to study necromancy!" replied Rick.
Of course he wanted to know that he had the appearance of Liliang, of course he wanted to know more about his Liliang laws, and he wanted to know that he could do this kind of thing. But he didn't want to go down the path of becoming a member of the Magic Hand for that either. He wanted to live a peaceful life.
"Then go ahead and find a way for you to ask this question, and then create your answer. If you stay here, you won't find anything for you now. 」
"I don't have to know these things......" Rick gritted his teeth and lowered his head.
"Evan Sal also said he didn't want to do that. Monlett's voice swirled through the passage.
Syk looked up again, and the dragon standing there was gone. The man standing there now had short, disheveled hair like a bird's nest, and was wearing a mage robe that had been sewn many times, his hands tucked in his sleeves, and his lips pursed slightly. Because of the excessive tucking of his chin, he looked at Rick's gaze slightly upwards from below, and those brown eyes looked like mirrors, but not the kind of glass mirrors that sit on the dresser and are mounted in a beautiful frame. It is a steel mirror that has been tempered and polished. It is a mirror used by travelers who are often in difficult circumstances, and are not afraid of falling and squeezing.
It is a mirror that has the power to ward off evil spirits.
Steel-faced mirror-like eyes. Nick had seen such an account, and it was Evan Sal's appearance.
Evangelsal's figure was fleeting, and Nick could still hear Monrett's voice: "Now you don't have to be forced to work, so you have to choose again, and decide whether to go out or not by your own will.
"Life is like a send, may you have no regrets in this trip. See you in any corner of Shijie. 」
There was nothing but the bento bag with beef stew with red wine on the floor.
Xi Ke stood there stunned for a long time before he quickly took the food and put it in the refrigerator.
After that, he didn't sleep all night, thinking all night, and only in the morning did he make up his mind when it was almost time for the museum to open.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Fifteen minutes before the opening of the museum, Xi Ke took the initiative to call the Wizard Practice Bureau. He estimated that, at the speed of Ampett's flight, he would leave at dawn, and that he would be there by noon. He wanted to settle things down until then.
After the magic words were connected, the familiar sweet female voice said, "This is the Mage Practice Board. 」
The person who answered the devil's words, and sure enough, it was the switchboard lady who repeatedly troubled Xi Ke and made it difficult for Xi Ke to talk to the director. She recognized Rick's voice, and it didn't help if she didn't give her name.
Rick took a deep breath and slowly spit out into the magic bell, then said, "I suddenly want to hear you scream, can you scream to me?"
There was silence for a while on the other side of the magic talk, and then the switchboard lady shouted in the most normal, calm and calm voice that Xike had ever heard: "Lord Director, there is a pervert, I will leave it to you!"
This time, it only took seventeen seconds for Xi Ke to successfully change the opposite side of the devil's word to the bureau chief, setting a new record.
"Oh, Xike!" Xike heard the sound of dinging and chirping on the other side of the magic words, as if stirring the dried noodles, "How did you think of calling here? Could it be that you want to work? Can't you? What trouble are you? Serial murderers named to attack the Magic Book Library? The magic book has become a riot and wants to blow up the roof? Or did you find a bomb buried under that land?"
"I want to work, do you have any good jobs?" said Rick calmly.
There was a pause on the other side of the magic talk, and even the sound of mixing noodles stopped, and after about three seconds, the chief raised his voice in an incredulous tone and asked, "Really?
Rick replied, "I'm going to find the materials to eat with the book. 」
Guests come and go, bring books and take books away. The rustling of the magic books. In the Magic Book Library, where there is no light and no time can be felt except for the wall clock, Xi Ke has a feeling that there is not much time left.
Evan Sal once said, "There is never only one source of magic, and there is never only one cause for things. 」
Just like that, it wasn't because of any single incident that he encountered that he changed his mind and decided to go out to work. It was all the sum of things that made him change. It's like everything in his past life piled up to make him who he is now.
Rick knew he didn't want to be the kind of person who deceived himself and avoided questions. Ignorance will never make a person innocent, but will only make people unable to distinguish and refuse when faced with filthy things.
He didn't want to let there be anything in the shijie that he didn't know anything about his livelihood, but he also knew that he would never be able to figure out every detail of this shijie. So he chose to do his best and face Shijie as much as possible. For this he has to go out.
In fact, it doesn't matter if he doesn't go out to work, he just wants to get started.
If man could fly like a bird, his wings would have been covered with a thick layer of frost in the cold winters of the past. It took Anne two years to remove the frost for him.
He's going to take off again.

Around this time, in another corner of Altaro, two other people were on the phone with Syke.
At one end of the diaphragm is Seren: "Syk doesn't seem to want to bite anyone, but I think he only wants to bite me right now. 」
"You're annoying him. The young female voice on the other end of the magic is soft and resolute, and although it has the characteristics of high society with clear articulation, it does not seem unattainable.
"I never wanted to mess with him. 」
"You only provoke him with your actions. 」
"It was your dad who asked me to see him. That's why I made a special contact with Lord Ballast and took the time to go to the Magic Library. A cat's meow sounded in the words. "Ah, Highway, I'll give you dinner right away. After the sound of opening the cat's feed bag and the sound of Guoguo putting the feed sounded, Serian returned to the magic story: "Now everything is in order, just wait for Xike to take the bait." I told the bureau chief that as long as he asked for a job, I would give him "that job." 」
"Are you sure that Xi Ke will be introduced to the Mage Practice Board? Aren't there many people who want to ask him for help?"
"Nine times out of ten. The man was thin-skinned and not used to going through the back door. Eighty percent will choose state agencies to help. 」
"Hmm. It's been seven years since he protected me in the Dark Academy. 」
"All you need to do is prepare for a touching reunion scene, Miss Schuilonu. 」
There was a chuckle on the other end of the spell.

After the devil's talk, the museum opened.
He was a little apprehensive, but he decided to take it as a problem.
The next morning, when the museum reopened, his mother-in-law harassed the young people in the local accent of Etaro, as usual, but he felt more at home.
"Yo-yo, I heard that Brippeg has been taken into custody and forbidden to see him. "Alas, I heard that he has never drunk foreign ink at all, and his academic qualifications are fake!" "Alas, I heard that he has evaded taxes very seriously, and the IRS has come to the door." "Yo-yo, they said he had six wives. "Alas, didn't he say that he still wanted believers to have sex with him, saying that the blood would become clean in this way? Why is the excuse of abducting people to bed getting weirder and weirder these days?" "Alas, now he is in a big way! That mage method seems to be very serious!" "How can there be so many idiots being deceived by Yo Yo." "Alas, I can't understand it, the silver of the white flowers is like this||" "Alas, it's probably too much money!"
It didn't take long for a very annoying book to come out, which would interfere with the peace of the Magic Book House. The book was circling around the stacks like a big fly, saying things like "I'm literature! You don't know literature!"
It pounced on the other books, pretending to hit the corners of the other magic books, but in fact it didn't touch them at all, and then it rushed up to the sky and shouted, "After I read it, I am very cold about this author!
When the guests heard Zuihou's words, because it was so suitable to describe the book review published in "The Book of Book Reviews", several people squirted out the water that had been halfway drunk.
Xi Ke ran for a long time, and finally dragged the book down, attracting a lot of applause from the guests. When he was about to stuff the book into the soundproof cabinet, he opened it and saw that what it had just published was written on it, and the words read, "It's a cold for this one!"
Such a short article can also have typos, is this thing not even checked once before it is published?
After finishing the Book Review Book, Rick went back to the counter and turned on the TV.
The first news said: Last night, there was a pink man riding on public transportation, which caused many passers-by to look sideways and asked to take photos with him, causing a traffic chaos. The man later ran to the center of the city, climbed to the top of the landmark Spine Tower, summoned a hairless pink bird, and flew away in it.
A certain master of the Divine Stick happened to be preaching in the square in front of the Spine Tower. He said on the spot that it was Shijie's messenger of doom, and he had come to promote the news of the doomsday. The pink bird has no hair to represent death, and the pink man represents poison, and this shijie will be destroyed by the poisonous gas that rises from the ground. The doomsday that this man said was exactly the time when Xi Ke told the bureau chief, so the news would also broadcast later that he was busy lying.
The second TV news broadcast that the government intends to switch to a paper currency similar to that of the Dalan Paien Empire, and is currently working on it with technicians, hoping to officially issue it within five years, obsolete the existing metal currency.
The proponents argue that paper money is easy to carry and conducive to commercial activities, and that paper can be used as currency to keep precious metals such as gold and silver in the treasury. They saw the switch to paper money as a progressive action.
Opponents argue that metal money is traditional and do not want the familiar picture of trading hours of money and currency clanging to disappear. In particular, paper money does not have the preciousness of gold and silver coins, which makes them care the most. They see the abandonment of metal money as a loss of culture.
Times are changing all the time. However, in the answers left in the book by the ancients two thousand years ago, Rick found the answers to the questions of this era.
Syk waited, for his master to return. Waiting behind the blue light, the familiar figure, with innocent eyes, tilted his head to look at him.
Xi Ke had something to tell him about this time as the administrator of the Magic Book Library.
The teleportation array connecting the Magic Book House and the outside world emitted a dazzling blue light.
