Chapter 19: The Golden Academy of Law Cultivation
In the rain, a tall stone gate towered, and the stone that had turned blue showed people its long-term thoughts, and a line of large characters was carved on the door, Law Cultivation Alchemist Academy.
Arthur was about to go inside, when a rough ogre doorman stood in front of Arthur, barely wearing something called a uniform. Let Arthur sigh a little, it is worthy of the magic academy, and even the doorman is so bullish.
Arthur pulled out the certificate Mel had given him and placed it in front of him, and the ogre immediately stood up and saluted, squeezing out a sinister smile and letting Arthur in. At the entrance of the academy is a statue of Fa Xiu, but it is obviously beautified.
Walking in the grassy college, from time to time there are students hurrying by with things. It makes Arthur feel like he is back in college, but the students here are generally younger, and the architecture is even more fantastic.
However, Arthur has seen a lot of wonders in this world, so he just went around casually and came to his destination - the library. Arthur found a job as the director of this library. Of course, in fact, it still went through the back door.
Originally, he just asked Mr. Mel for a certificate of borrowing, but Mel simply handed over the director of this library to him, and it was a coincidence that the original director here, an old human man, was too old, and Mel also preferred to let the aliens work in the academy, saying that it was more magical. Arthur didn't know what the atmosphere was, and Arthur, a stone man, was a big outlier, so he got the job.
In the library, an old man who was about to beach on the ground received Arthur, vaguely introduced the history of the library, and showed him around. Finally, call a group of goblins to Arthur and tell him that these goblins will be in your charge in the future, and that there is any work for them to do.
Arthur is still shaking the scale of this library, which neither Bloodthorn nor Saint Roll can compare. At the beginning of the founding of the United States, there were some people who ridiculed the cultural heritage of this group of merchants, so there was a huge library, and merchants may not know how to choose the right books, but as long as they buy them all, wouldn't it be good!
So there are all kinds of books in this library, and don't be surprised if you see a young man holding a book next to the tall shelves. In the words of the Tamen people: "The devil knows what books are inside!"
This has inevitably become a laughing stock for some people. It wasn't until the City of Arts was incorporated into Merika and became one of the main cities of the kingdom that it completely took off its lack of culture.
Finally, under the watchful eyes of Arthur and the goblins, the old curator slowly left. By the time Arthur felt a little stiff in his neck, the old curator finally walked to the door. Glancing back at the place where he had worked all his life, he sighed and disappeared into Arthur's eyes.
This made Arthur suddenly sigh, this place was already a part of the old man! like an old tree, which had completely inserted its roots into the land. But is this really the kind of thing called happiness that has been lived for decades? Arthur didn't understand either.
Arthur turned his head, and a group of goblins looked at him with a cower, and the inferiority and cowardice seemed to have been carved into the soul of this nation, and passed down from generation to generation along the blood, like a curse. Arthur suddenly thought of the phrase "all beings are equal" but then showed a self-deprecating smile, when have all beings ever been equal?
But Arthur did not have the habit of stepping on anyone's head, although everyone is equal is only a statement, but this statement has also been propagated on the earth for many years, and it can be said that it has become a part of Arthur's thinking. Of course, the exception is for some people, some people just have to step on their feet and grind them hard to be satisfied.
Arthur asked aloud, "Who here knows goblin language"
Only a thin hand was slowly raised, and it was easy to speak a language, but it was difficult to recognize, so not many people knew goblin language.
Arthur left him behind and let the other goblins go back to work, Arthur asked, "What's your name?"
The goblin said timidly, "I, my name is Gru!"
Arthur stretched out his hand and said, "Don't call me sir, just call me Arnold, it's nice to meet you, Gru!"
Gru looked at the outstretched hand, and for a moment he didn't know whether to reach out or not, until Arthur raised his hand again to signal, and then carefully shook it.
Arthur was satisfied, "Okay, Gru, now that we're friends, I need your help with something!"
Gru seemed to be very unaccustomed to the word friend and reluctantly said, "Yes, my lord, no, Mr. Arnold!
Arthur said briskly: "I need a translator who understands the goblin language, it's best if you can teach me, you go and find out all the goblin history during the Great War of Gods and Demons, I want to study it." In return, I can teach you how to write the lingua franca. ”
Of all the races, only the history of the goblins is the most rigorous and true, and the history they record is dry but true, like an investigative report. And the history of the elves is like a long poem, the rhetoric is gorgeous and beautiful, and it is full of admiration for their own race. The history of the orcs is a book of lyrics, sung in war songs only about disdain for the enemy. The history of the dwarves is a story that has been passed down by word of mouth, and the result is countless drunken stories, as they like to tell these stories when they are drunk. As for the history of mankind, it is a web novel, and his author will modify the plot at any time according to his own new ideas, and his author is always changing.
So Arthur wanted to understand what happened thousands of years ago, so he had to rely on the historical documents of the goblins, a race that once had great glory but never really intervened in history. And now there are so few people who know the language of the goblins, no one can learn the language of the lower races, and the goblins themselves can speak but not write.
Therefore, the skinny little Gru in front of him is a real talent, and he is also a scarce talent. I really want to know the strongest hero of the Gudruid, Quincy, Arthur who experienced it back then, so he naturally treated him well.
After a while, Gru staggered over with a large pile of books, because Councilor Sherlock was a goblin himself, and had spent a lot of money collecting goblin documents, and most of these documents were placed here.
Arthur walked over and helped Gru pick up the book and put it on a long table in the reading area, and Arthur was about to start researching when he called out in a small voice, "Is there anyone here?"
Arthur looked in the direction of the voice, and couldn't help but sigh, a big city is a big city, and there are many beautiful women, from the star Eve to Miss Nicole in distress to the schoolgirl in front of him. Arthur hurried back to his work, behind a desk in the doorway. "Is there something wrong?"
The other party was puzzled: "Are you?"
Arthur took out the certificate given by Mel again and said, "I'm the new curator here, my name is Arnold, it's nice to meet you, tell me what's going on, I'm busy here!"
It's not that Arthur really doesn't dare to be interested in beautiful women, but he really doesn't have this experience now, and with Kaye's experience, Arthur also understands that pickling girls is not for nothing, responsibility is indispensable, and he really doesn't have any capital to pick up girls now. So there's no need to post it boringly.
The other party glanced at Arthur with some curiosity, pointed to a few books on his desk and said, "I want to borrow these books!"
Arthur admired her white fingers for a moment, and then it occurred to him that he didn't know what to do, and he didn't understand the old curator's words. Beckoned Gru over and said, "You can help her!"
Gru said with a sad face, "But, Mr. Arnold, I don't know how to read!" The goblins are mainly responsible for cleaning here.
Arthur patted his head and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot, okay, you teach me!"
Gru understood the whole procedure very well, Arthur quickly helped the beautiful woman in front of him complete the formalities, and then sent the guest away: "Okay, Miss Monica, this is the book you wanted! Arthur knew her name from the papers.
Monica picked up the book, but she was not dissatisfied, after all, the aesthetics of the alien race are always strange, and she never expected the ogre doorman at the door to be polite to her. He was just curious about how the new curator and his goblin men were getting along.
What could a stone man do with a goblin? But Arthur clearly didn't mean to say much to her.
Arthur and Gru then begin to study the dusty history that has been sealed for countless years, and Gru reads softly and Arthur listens quietly, creating a strange scene in the library. It attracted a lot of people to stop here.
However, the next few books were borrowed, and each interruption annoyed Arthur, so Arthur quickly made the decision to teach these words to be proficient, but the first thing to do was to recruit a temporary administrator.
Unlike ordinary libraries, this administrator is not just someone to be the person, because there are many rare out-of-print books and some magic books that are restricted from reading. You have to be a very trustworthy person to hold the position.
Like when he was on Earth, he posted a recruitment letter outside the door, and this salary naturally came out of Arthur's salary, as the director of the library, there were two gold coins a month, but this money was not enough for Kira to sleep in the Golden Castle for a night, so Arthur generously took out half of it as a salary.
But what Arthur didn't expect was that the first person to apply for the job was Miss Monica, who said with a happy face at this time, "Is there really a gold coin?"
