Chapter 261 Library
Silvermoon City is too big. Since the three houses selected by Herag are in different locations, it is impossible to see them all in one day.
It took two days for the group to see the houses and surrounding conditions in the three places by carriage.
Herag finally chose the house on King Street after considering the conditions of the three places.
After Herag's field investigation, he found that King Street was the quietest and there were fewer people living around.
After asking, he learned that only members of Thranduil were eligible to buy the houses in this place.
There are actually not many formal members of Thranduil. Silvermoon City is so big that there are even fewer people if divided equally, so it is relatively quieter.
This is more in line with Herag's requirements, because if this area is full of members of Thranduil, then the personnel composition is simpler.
After comprehensive consideration, Herag decided to buy the house on King Street.
Since he is a formal member of Thranduil and it is his first time to buy a property, he has a 50% discount.
The original price was 80,000 magic stones, and Herag paid 40,000 magic stones to buy this small courtyard on King Street.
After Herag completed the formalities, he directly paid 40,000 magic stones with rune stones. After the balance was deducted, there were 20,000 magic stones left. With the 40,000 magic stones on his body, there were 60,000 magic stones left.
The houses on King Street are all single-family small courtyards, separated by dozens of meters.
There are no lively settlements nearby, so it is very quiet.
Herag put his hand on the door handle of the door at the door, and the door opened automatically after touching it.
This small courtyard has a magic array, which can be operated by itself to record personnel information. The magic array will automatically identify who can enter freely.
People whose identity information is not recorded cannot open the door to come in.
The house has a total of three floors and many rooms.
David took the initiative to ask to live in the room on the first floor, while Herag and Reese chose the master bedroom on the second floor.
Just moved to the new house, Herag decided to cook a meal for the three of them at home according to the custom of his previous life.
After he and Rui Si went to the nearby market to buy some ingredients, they found that the prices of vegetables and fruits here were indeed ridiculously high.
They bought a bunch of ingredients and spent a full five gold coins.
Although they bought a lot, they didn't spend so much.
Herag didn't lack gold coins, but those ordinary people were not as rich as him, and ordinary people really couldn't afford these vegetables in their daily lives.
Herag showed off his cooking skills for a rare time. He took out the wok and other kitchen utensils that he had asked the craftsman to make before and fried a few dishes, which made David and Rui Si stunned.
They never thought that Herag could actually make delicious food. Although they had never seen it, it was particularly fragrant and appetizing.
At the dinner table, the three of them quickly ate and feasted.
After eating for a while, Herag said: "The magic stones we have now are enough for the future. During this time, we will practice seriously and strive to improve."
"Don't go on the mission?" Rui Si asked.
"You can do the mission, but it depends on the situation. Try not to accept dangerous ones. We must seize the time to make ourselves stronger." Herag said.
Herag's subsequent strategy is very simple, that is, to grow slowly.
First, use the existing magic stones to exchange for resources, and at the same time accept some tasks with relatively low risks to earn magic stones and contribution points.
Wait until the strength is improved, and then take risks if there are not enough resources.
"Tomorrow we will go to the library of Silver Moon City and try to increase our knowledge reserves." Herag said.
"Okay." David and Wraith had no objection, everything was subject to Herag.
At night, Herag looked at the rune stone. Lillian's friend application had not been approved yet, and I don't know what she was doing.
...
The library in Silver Moon City has a total of five floors. The first three floors are open to ordinary people, but you need to apply for a card, ten magic stones a month.
The price is not expensive, and most people can afford it.
Because Herag is a formal member of Thranduil, he can use the first three floors of the library for free.
The fourth and fifth floors are more special. Herag learned that the fourth floor requires 100 contribution points to enter and borrow books, and it is charged by book.
The fifth floor requires 500 contribution points to enter, and the fee is also calculated by book.
Herag browsed the tavern forum and searched for information about the library.
After understanding, the first three floors of the library are all some basic knowledge, and there will be no advanced or profound knowledge.
The fourth and fifth floors of the library are some relatively advanced knowledge, and each book needs to be borrowed by paying magic stones separately.
The prices of different books are different. Some books can even cost tens of thousands of magic stones, and it is only the price of borrowing, not buying.
The next morning, Herag and his three friends took a carriage to the Silver Moon City Library.
The library in Silver Moon City is a cylindrical building, standing there very conspicuous, and can be seen from a long distance.
"Hello, register." Herag and his three friends came to the front desk of the library and said.
The front desk is a young lady who looks about 20 years old. The magic aura on her body is very weak, only at the level of a first-class wizard apprentice.
In the Land of Dawn, such wizard apprentices with poor qualifications generally do some ordinary jobs, which are only slightly better than ordinary people.
Many jobs only require a little bit of magic, and these positions are usually held by people with poor qualifications.
"Well, OK, please show me the magic stone." said the lady.
Herag took out his own magic stone and quickly completed the registration.
"Mr. Herag, you are an official member of the organization. You can browse the first three floors at will. Since your current contribution is zero, you can't go to the fourth and fifth floors for the time being." The staff handed the magic stone back respectfully.
Herag nodded and asked David and Reese to continue to go through the formalities.
Each of them paid ten magic stones and could read books on the first three floors of the library for a month.
One month is definitely not enough, and they can renew it later.
David and Reese each have 30,000 magic stones given by the family, which is enough for them to use for a long time, so Herag doesn't have to pay.
"Let's go, you look at the catalog first and choose the books you want to read." Herag said.
Herag is different from these two people. He wants to enter all the books on the third floor, and then choose which books to specialize in.
So after entering the library, the three of them dispersed and began to look for the books they wanted to study.
Herag began to record knowledge like a storm. He would flip through the contents of every book on every bookshelf he passed by and then record the contents.
When recording the books in the history area, Herag paused for a rare moment.
Because he saw the words "Six-ring Tower" in a book called "A Brief History".
