Main Text Volume Chapter 134 Book Master
On the third day of the first ten days of the cold moon, the 8th Apprentice Town.
On this day, Angel got up very early, washed and dressed, and put on a well-tailored black gentleman's suit.
In the mirror, the little boy turned into an elegant aristocrat in an instant, with a high nose bridge, thin lips, blue eyes as deep as the sea, and a slightly messy but interesting short golden hair; according to the current aesthetics, Angel is absolutely handsome. Usually when he doesn't dress up, he can already attract everyone's attention. When he starts to pay attention to his appearance, he is even more handsome and eye-catching.
"I always feel that something is missing." If there were outsiders here, they would definitely think it was perfect, with top-notch temperament, dress, and appearance. But Angel himself was a little dissatisfied.
At this time, there was a chirping sound outside the French window. Angel walked over, opened the window, and fresh air drifted into the room. Along with the outside air, there came a seabird, Toby, wearing the same black gentleman's suit.
Toby circled around Angel's room, and then landed on Angel's head with familiarity.
The big and the small just faced the mirror, looking into each other's eyes.
The same clothes, the same confused expression, the same posture...
"I know what's missing, it's a hat!" Angel looked at Toby's small body in the mirror curled up in his golden hair, and immediately recalled the fear of being dominated by Toby on the cloud whale.
There is a market in the apprentice town, and there are vendors stationed in the market for a long time in the nearby villages and towns. Angel soon bought a pure black high-footed oval brim hat at a special hat stall.
Angel hurried back home with Toby on his head.
Along the way, Angel received a lot of attention. The combination of appearance, clothing and the equally cute Toby is very eye-catching. However, this is limited to the attention of ordinary people. Angel did not meet any wizard apprentice. They were probably hiding in the basement doing experiments and rarely came out.
After driving Toby out of his hair, Angel put on a black high hat, which made him more elegant. With the dark red bow tie and white silk lining, Angel was more mysterious in his elegance and handsomeness.
Today he was going to see that person.
In order to show respect, Angel naturally hoped that he could meet people in the best appearance.
Moreover, Flora also told Angel: "He is a very wise elder, but a little rigid, and likes people who do things in a very regular way. If you want to meet him, remember to dress formally."
Even if Flora didn't say it, Angel would dress himself up. He didn't want to forget the glory of the lion heart engraved in his bones because of his obsession with extraordinary power.
"The fire of the lion heart will never go out." The buttons on the gentleman's suit used the family emblem of the Pat family: the lion heart. This was actually the first time that Angel wore this dress. Originally, he planned to wear it when his brother was granted the title after it was customized. Unexpectedly, before Leon inherited the title, he turned a corner halfway and left the Old Earth Continent, and came to the legendary Fan Continent alone.
Angel silently recited the family motto, and the boy in the mirror seemed to have a different temperament at this moment, which was responsibility and tolerance.
"Let's go, Toby. I heard that the elder is the most knowledgeable in the South Region. Maybe he can help you find the way to evolution." Angel went this time not only for himself, but also for Toby.
Although Graya only asked him to take care of Toby, Toby has already embarked on the extraordinary road. In the past few months of getting along, Angel and Toby have also forged a deep friendship, so Angel took this opportunity to hope to find a way for Toby.
Stepping out of the 8th Apprentice Town, Angel didn't walk for long before he saw a green vine ladder falling from the sky, connecting to the leaf platform ten meters high.
After Angel climbed onto the platform, the vine bus slowly drove over not long after.
On the bus, Angel quietly pondered the key points of "mental power" sensing in his heart.
When he sensed the mental power, he really took the first step to transcendence.
There are three steps to transcendence. The first step is to sense the mental power, the second step is to control the mental power, and the third step is to build a mental power model. Once the mental power model is built, it can be called a first-level apprentice. Abule is currently at this stage.
Not long after thinking, Angel was awakened by a cheer.
Looking out through the car, it turned out to be the center of the tree spirit court. A huge square was suddenly illuminated by sunlight.
The branches and leaves of the Eternal Tree are huge, completely blocking the sunlight. The Tree Spirit Court located under the Eternal Tree is dark all year round. Occasionally there is sunlight, which is scattered from the gap.
Now, the central square covering several kilometers is completely exposed to the sun. The golden sunlight illuminates the ground as if it is covered with gold powder.
Angel looked up at the sky and found that the hundred-meter-long leaves that blocked the square were all rolled up.
"It seems that the tree spirit is merciful and is ready to let the people below see the light." Angel thought to himself.
However, is it worth cheering so much? If you want to bask in the sun, you can take the vine bus to the leaves of the Eternal Tree.
Angel looked back strangely, so he didn't see that a crack suddenly appeared in the middle of the central square of the Tree Spirit Court, and the cheering apprentices rushed into the crack one after another.
20 minutes later, Angel arrived at the destination platform.
Angel stood alone on the small platform. There was a three-meter-high metal sign under the platform, which read: "Cloud Library Platform".
The bottom of the metal sign stood on the cloud.
Yes, that's right, it was in the cloud.
This platform was not on the leaves, but in the thick clouds. When Angel stepped on the white clouds, the touch from his feet was a bit like stepping on soft mud.
This is "cloud soil", the product of the reaction between special materials and clouds.
This cloud soil is very vast. Angel saw the huge library shining with golden light and magnificent not far away from the platform!
The elder that Angel was looking for was in the largest library in this barbaric cave!
The library was huge and there were many people. Compared with the library, people were like black ants, densely packed.
The reason why the platform was empty with only Angell was because the others had flown up. Just when Angell was stunned, a middle-aged witch wearing a blue wizard gown and a star-moon wizard hat rode past him on a broom.
Angell approached the library and could feel the magnificent spirit even more. It was like a church with a true God, which made people involuntarily awed and worshiped. But Angell knew that the temperament exuded by the cloud library was not the awe of religious rituals, but the awe of knowledge and truth.
Along the way, everyone's face was full of respect, and no one even spoke.
Angell also walked into the library with this solemn mood.
The interior space of the library is very large, and it is obvious that magic patterns that extend the space are used. The collection of books is divided into zones. Angell saw on the map at the door that it was divided into 8,329 zones. According to your needs, you can teleport to different blocks.
Of course, the principle of equivalent exchange is also followed here. Whether it is teleportation or renting books, contribution points are required. Basically, all the contribution points that the apprentices have worked hard to earn are spent here.
Angel remembered that Flora said that the elder seemed to be in the 7920-7930 area recently, studying some kind of energy conversion topic.
Angel chose an empty teleportation array and prepared to teleport to the 7920 area. Aimlessly, he decided to look for it one area at a time.
When the bone card swiped through the teleportation array, a number popped up: 100 contribution points.
Angel saw this contribution point and his eyes widened instantly. He just saw an apprentice teleport to a certain area, and it was only 1 contribution point? How come he had 100 times more? !
When Angel was about to cry, someone behind him urged him to leave quickly.
There are thirty teleportation arrays in the library, and they are full at this moment. Angel was embarrassed to delay, so he gritted his teeth and spent this contribution point.
When he came to the 7920 area, Angel still felt very sorry for this contribution point.
Angel thought that an area was at most ten meters in size, but what he didn't expect was that the internal space of an area was extremely large, seemingly more than a hundred meters in length and width, filled with large bookshelves. At a glance, the books here were more than a hundred times more than Sanders's library!
Angel casually glanced at a book on a nearby bookshelf: "The Experience of Using Super-Energy Magnetic Gun".
Angel put the bone card next to the book, and the rental fee immediately popped up on the bone card: 300,000 contribution points.
300,000 contribution points...
Angel only had 10,000 contribution points in total, and a book here cost 300,000! Compared to 3,000 magic crystals! It's simply a sky-high price. It is estimated that few apprentices can have such a huge deposit.
It is estimated that the audience of this area is formal wizards.
If it is an area for formal wizards, then Angel somewhat understands why the teleportation fee is 100 points. This is to set up a gate for wizard apprentices. Considering the speed at which wizard apprentices make money, they will definitely not waste contribution points on this.
No wonder Angell saw that the place was empty and no one was in sight.
Angell walked along the center line of this area, looking around as he walked, hoping to find the elder that Flora mentioned.
However, after searching the 7920 area, Angell did not see anyone.
Angell could only walk back to the teleportation point and prepare to go to the 7921 area to have a look.
The teleportation fee in the 7921 area is still 100 contribution points.
However, the 100 contribution points that Angell paid with tears and bit his lips were still empty in the end.
7922, 7923, 7924, and searched 3 areas in a row, spending 300 contribution points, but it was still the same. Not to mention the elder, even other figures were not seen.
When Angell was about to go to the 7925 area, the teleportation fee actually increased to 300 points!
Angell felt dizzy and wanted to leave, but he felt unwilling. In the end, he gritted his teeth and teleported to the 7925 area with a sad face.
After arriving at this area, Angel looked for people as before. Halfway through, Angel suddenly found a bookshelf at the right end that was different in color from the other bookshelves, shining with a faint silver light.
Angel walked over out of curiosity.
He found that all the books on the bookshelf were books related to alchemy? !
"Alchemy Manuscript - Energy Stabilizer".
This is an alchemy manuscript for making an 'Energy Stabilizer'. Angel remembers that he once took a video of 'Energy Alchemy Basics' in the warden's secret room in the prison ladder. Stabilizer' method of making. It seems to be a very basic alchemical tool.
Why is the color of this bookshelf silvery white? Is it because it contains books related to alchemy? Angel scratched the "Alchemy Manuscript—Energy Stabilizer" with his bone card. When he saw the numbers displayed on the bone card, his heart skipped a beat.
"Lease fee: 1.1 million contribution points."
1.1 million contribution points? ! This amount is too scary!
In the "Elementary Alchemy Basics Collection" recorded by Angel, it contains nearly a thousand basic alchemy equipment making methods, and the energy stabilizer is only the most basic one.
The rental price of this most basic one alone is over one million, which is tens of thousands of magic crystals! Angel couldn't believe his eyes.
If it is priced this way, wouldn't "Basic Alchemy Collection" have a contribution point of over 100 million?
"Basic Collection of Elementary Alchemy" is just one of the alchemy books recorded by Angel. The price of other intermediate alchemy, advanced alchemy and even some special alchemy would be unimaginable!
"I didn't expect alchemy books to be so precious." Angel murmured in a low voice. From this point of view, he is actually an invisible rich man... However, he did not dare to sell the alchemy books he recorded. Just as Jon taught, "Every man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a treasure." Before his wings were full, what he got from selling alchemy books was not money, but a self-cutting sword.
"It's not possible to sell, but he can learn." Angel thought to himself, there are ready-made teaching materials, and they are step-by-step. If you don't learn, it will be a waste.
However, learning alchemy still has to be further down the list. His most important task now is to enter the circle of extraordinary people and successfully advance to apprenticeship. Everything else comes later.
Angel left the silver-white bookshelf and continued his journey to find someone.
Just when Angel thought this area was still in trouble, he suddenly found in a corner an old man whose body appeared and disappeared, as if he were a soul, sitting in front of a desk, writing and drawing.
Looking at the strange old man, Angel's eyes lit up.
"Found it!"
…
There are three ancestral spirits in the Savage Cave: the tree spirit of the Eternal Tree, the Mirror Lady of the Mirror World, and one, the old man in front of him.
——The most knowledgeable person in the Southern Region, the wise man in the cloud library, and the wise man.
Shu Lao is also an eternal phantom. He is wise and steady. He participated in writing or editing more than 50% of the books in the entire cloud library. It is rumored that he is a true spirit born from an ancient book, so in the end What I also cherish the most are books.
He has never left the mirror world and rarely even left the cloud library. Even so, he still won the title of 'the most knowledgeable in the Southern Region'.
However, erudition and expertise are two different things. Erudition means knowing a lot of things, while expertise means constantly digging deeper and deeper into a certain field. There is no difference between the two, but for wizards, they definitely need to specialize.
Shu Lao knows a lot of things. Many special skills of wizards are passed down from Shu Lao. Shu Lao has even taught legendary wizards. Therefore, Flora recommended Shu Lao to Angel.
When Angel approached the old man, he saw that he had been writing something, so he couldn't disturb him, so he had to stand aside and wait.
This wait is ten hours.
Angel's feet were numb, but Shu Lao still had no intention of stopping.
Toby originally squatted on Angel's left shoulder, then moved to his right shoulder, then ran to the hat, and finally fell asleep and was placed in Angel's breast pocket.
The sky outside had begun to get dark, and Angel tentatively called out softly: "Shu Lao?"
Shu Lao still buried his head, thoughts and considerations flashed across his face from time to time, and he had no intention of paying any attention to Angel.
