Chapter 512 Who Is Er Wu (Thanks to the Leader of Meow Rabbit)
"..."
In the silence, a gust of cold wind blew, and Huai Shi looked at the principal next to him in confusion.
The principal also laughed awkwardly: "I'll send it back to you later. Aren't you afraid that your butt will be cold if you sit on the ground?"
"Fine."
Huai Shi hesitated for a long time, put down the tea cup in her hand, and stood up with the principal.
Take the steps.
The huge and heavy alchemy door opened in front of them.
The relief of the Gorgon on the bronze door glanced at them, then quickly looked away.
In the lobby of the library behind the door, a dim light shone down, illuminating the majestic old man behind the front desk.
He stared at the person outside the door indifferently, with an expression of no anger or authority.
It seems to be standing in the center of the library, guarded by numerous dense matrices, and looks so mysterious and strange in the light.
The air of a master.
"Which master is this?" Huai Shi was startled and humbly asked for advice.
"Don't think nonsense. He is the janitor who was rehired to visit the library after his retirement the year before last. He is already old and confused. He is still sleeping during working hours."
The principal casually exposed his illusion: "It has a special design. The chair is the center of the hall. Even if you put a dog on it, you will feel that it is handsome and majestic, as if it is King Arthur."
Well, sleeping indeed.
Huaishi plucked up the courage to look over, only to realize that the old man slept with his eyes open, and you couldn't tell unless you looked carefully...
The hair is all on his beard.
And he's still snoring.
boom!
A high-pitched sound.
It was the principal who walked up, raised his front paws, and slapped the table hard: "Hey! Stop sleeping. Did I pay you to come to sleep? Get up!"
The sleeping old man looked up in fear, his face turned purple quickly, and he almost had a heart attack. He hurriedly took out the pill bottle from his pocket, took several pills, and took a long time to breathe before he recovered.
He didn't even bother to wipe his saliva.
Almost died on the spot.
When he put on his glasses and looked over, his originally tense expression relaxed: "I was scared to death! I thought the vice-principal was here to inspect the class... What's the matter, principal?"
The black panther squatting on the front desk swung his tail and licked his paws: "Bring the newcomers here for a walk and read a book. Open the door."
The old man was stunned for a moment, then became reluctant:
"It's already so late, can't it be done another time?"
"Absolutely! My school, my library, my books, if I want to read them, do you have to wait another day?" Black Panther raised his head and glanced at the passive old man in front of him, and asked angrily: "Do you still want to read it? Finished?"
Being stared at by him, the old man shrunk his shoulders, and immediately became helpless and aggrieved: "Okay, okay, why are you so fierce?"
As he spoke, he wiped off the saliva, slowly got up from the chair, muttered something to complain about, and turned around to walk towards the high wall behind him.
Following his actions, Huaishi noticed it at this time.
In the lobby at the entrance of the library, behind the front desk, the huge wall that is more than ten meters high, engraved with solemn reliefs and countless complicated patterns... turns out to be a door.
That's right, there is a straight gap hanging down from the center of the steel wall. If you don't look closely with a magnifying glass, it will be difficult to detect the slender door gaps between the countless complicated patterns and reliefs.
The entire wall is covered with two iron gates.
Huaishi's confining hand could feel that the entire gate was made of alloy. With such a huge structure and mass, it probably weighed several thousand tons!
But just in front of the iron gate, as the hunchbacked old man slowly raised his skinny left hand and pressed it on the door - a sharp sound burst out.
——Is this the fucking ordinary old man who came out of retirement and returned to the job that you mentioned, principal?
With such a heavy door, even a tank's main gun might not be able to blast it open.
What kind of monsters are the janitors at your school?
Huai Shi gasped in fright.
But before he could finish taking a breath of air-conditioning, he heard a cold electronic voice sounding amidst the shrill alarm sound: "Wrong fingerprint!"
The old man was stunned, took his hand back, and pressed it again.
"...Wrong fingerprint!"
Huaishi: "..."
headmaster:"……"
In the silence, the old man turned around and smiled awkwardly: "Sorry, I remembered the wrong hand..."
He switched to his right hand.
This time, there was no sharp sound and the door opened.
It's like those thousands of tons of mass don't exist at all.
Huai Shi squatted at the door and looked carefully for a long time, only to realize that this thing was completely automatic with fingerprints. She looked at the door, and then looked at the old man standing in front of the door with his hands behind his back, as if he were some peerless expert.
The person who guards all the school's information, important files, and even the fragments of the records of the Kingdom of Heaven is actually such an old man?
Or a fingerprint lock?
Can't you change your password? What if this old man dies one day?
He scratched his head, always feeling that this ivory tower was going to end...
After following the principal in a daze and walking through the door, he couldn't help but look back at the old man. The old man was still standing at the door. When he saw him looking back, he quickly raised his hand and waved to greet him with a flattering look on his face. .
"..."
So, are there really no hermit experts in your school library?
What a disappointment!
At the door, all you can see are densely packed bookshelves with no end in sight. Countless small mechanical arms slide quickly on the ceiling tracks, sorting various large or small boxes, loading files or other Things are moved flexibly and placed where they should be.
At the end of the line of sight, there are several separate doors. Through the glass windows, you can vaguely see countless huge units sunk in the coolant, venting terrifying high heat.
That's an exaggerated amount of data being transferred, written, and read every second.
The whole place does not look like a library, but like a workshop and machine room in a factory.
"The first floor is mainly the server of the Ivory Tower, as well as the school's files and many irrelevant records. It's just so-so, nothing interesting to see."
The Black Panther walked in front, skillfully found the elevator leading to the underground, and said enthusiastically: "Come with me, I will take you to see the treasure of the Ivory Tower!"
So, is it really okay for you to be so casual?
I've only been here a month!
But after he walked into the elevator, he heard the principal ask: "Is it the Dragon Gate Trial in Dongxia or the Rashomon in Yingzhou?"
"Um?"
Huai Shi is puzzled.
After pressing the elevator button, the standing black panther suddenly transformed into an Australian desert red kangaroo with muscles all over his body. He looked back at him and explained: "The screening mechanism left behind by the heavenly lineage... you Which one passed? You don’t think I can’t see that you are an official member of the heavenly lineage, do you?”
"Can you see all this?" Huai Shi was stunned.
"Of course, there is actually a little difference between those who pass the screening and those who fail. There will be some special changes in the temperament and essence of the whole person. To put it simply, it is an anti-counterfeiting mark.
So, which one did you pass? Principal, I am very curious. There are not many people who can pass those trials seriously these days. "
"Well……"
Huai Shi thought for a while, but was still ready to tell the truth. After all, there was nothing embarrassing about this matter, "Everything and the Celestial Sphere."
"..."
The principal glanced at Huai Shi in surprise, but said nothing.
"What's wrong?" Huai Shi asked.
"No, I just lament that it is not easy for you. Among the only twelve trials left in the current situation, the Vientiane Celestial Sphere is the most troublesome one. It is not easy to say it is easy, and it is difficult to say it is not difficult, but it is very torturous, and it is difficult to pass it. The standards also vary from person to person. Besides, Golden Dawn is still stirring things up inside. In the past, it was easy to say that everyone was once a colleague in the Utopia, and it was often easy to discuss anything. But recently, those guys have not even heard the news. He doesn’t reply anymore, he seems to have a strong opinion on the school, do you have any idea?”
"Well……"
Huai Shi's expression twitched and she couldn't help but look away: "I don't know that either."
"That's right, you don't look like a kid sent by the Golden Dawn." The kangaroo said casually while chewing on a piece of sugar cane that came from nowhere.
!
Huai Shi suddenly became nervous.
He was afraid that the principal would suddenly jump and kill himself here.
Looking at it this way, I seem... as if... indeed... a bit like a spy sent by the Golden Dawn?
So what does the principal mean by bringing him here?
Want to lure yourself into exposure?
Or is it that Ivory Tower and Before the Golden Dawn actually had some kind of indescribable and unknown friendship, and they often communicated secretly, thinking that they were sent to connect?
"Don't worry, I won't misunderstand you."
The principal patted his shoulder kindly: "If I hadn't known that you were the driver of Osiris, how would I have invited you to the Ivory Tower?
I'm actually very pleased that you can inherit Mr. Orton's legacy. Although the vice-principal has a bit of a problem with you, that guy has always been quite awkward, so he shouldn't be a stumbling block for you because of this... right? "
In the end, he hesitated and was not sure.
Huai Shi has fallen into numbness.
There was a lot of information in what this old bastard said, and he couldn't digest it at all.
But in the midst of the sluggishness, the elevator had already reached the bottom floor.
After passing through layers of tight defenses that Huaishi could not even detect, he went straight into the core of the Ivory Tower, where it slowly opened.
When Huai Shi walked out of it and passed through the last door, he caught a glimpse of countless heavy books suspended in mid-air.
It seemed like a tree of light was spreading in the void, with its straight branches criss-crossing, forming a three-dimensional matrix in the huge underground square.
When multiple matrices intersect with each other, thick books will appear on the nodes formed, rotating slightly.
Those are all fragments of the Kingdom of Heaven.
Huaishi felt the violent vibration of the Book of Destiny, which was the vague outline of the Kingdom of Heaven that remained after its fall, a huge structure formed by thousands of fragments of the Kingdom of Heaven.
But at the very core of the countless light matrices, there is a complex projection made up of countless overlapping images. It shows a different appearance every moment. In the stream of light and bubbles, a book is faintly outlined. Book outline.
Maybe... that's what the Book of Destiny should have looked like.
Just existing here seems to control the operation of the entire world, making everything shrouded in its own writing and records.
In the almost suffocating spectacular scene, Huai Shi couldn't help but sigh.
"It's so beautiful."
"Who says it isn't?"
The principal sighed softly, "Unfortunately, it's a fake."
