Chapter 132: I'm Rich

[You have learned the knowledge: Troll language.

As the system prompts the text in front of him flashed, Li Feng felt that a lot of knowledge was instantly stuffed into his brain.

Chaotic and bizarre patterns appeared in front of him, and various sounds of ah ah wu wu rang in his ears at the same time.

Along with these patterns and sounds, a very strong dull pain suddenly exploded in his brain.

The pain made Li Feng immediately hold the bookshelf in front of him, and he complained in his heart that even if it was a cerebral congestion, it should be just like this.

Fortunately, the pain came and went quickly.

About two seconds later, the pain disappeared, Li Feng took a deep breath, and felt that everything was back to normal.

But he recalled the strange patterns that had just appeared in front of him, and the sounds he had heard in his ears.

Suddenly, he clearly found that he had recognized all the strange patterns that were troll words.

And the sounds, he could understand them all.

Suppressing his excitement, Li Feng hurriedly took out an old troll book from the bookshelf.

Gently flipping the yellowed and brittle pages, rows of strange patterns appeared in front of him.

Li Feng picked a paragraph and read it carefully.

"Lost moray eels

Gathered travelers in the forest

Lead them through sadness

But abandoned them in sadness

The lost moray eels returned home

The travelers became moray eels

..."

'I can totally understand it! '

Li Feng, holding the old troll book in his hand, smiled slightly. The biggest problem of language has been solved, so the follow-up only needs time.

"Hu——"

After calming down, Li Feng took another deep breath.

'Learning a foreign language in two seconds is worth it no matter how painful it is. '

However, Li Feng suddenly remembered something and looked back at the page in his hand.

The text he just saw seemed to be a troll poem, but the content of the poem...

It was weird no matter how you looked at it.

Moray eels and forests, these two things put together, it's too inconsistent.

And looking at the latter part of the poem, it seems that the lost moray eel sacrificed the traveler to "sadness"?

Then the eel found a home, and the traveler turned into an eel.

‘This——’

A feeling of dark fairy tale rose from his heart, but what Li Feng was more concerned about was.

In this passage, eels and sadness are mentioned.

Thunder eels, sad theater, could they be related?

Li Feng closed the book in his hand while thinking, and then tucked it under his armpit, and then he took the book next to the one in his hand from the bookshelf, ready to find a table to read it carefully.

It was already morning, and other maesters of Storm's End Castle also came to the maester tower one after another to start a day of study.

Listening to the increasing footsteps in the corridor behind him, Li Feng suddenly thought.

The governor recruited himself into Storm's End Castle in order to better monitor himself, and he read books so specifically...

‘I almost let my guard down. ’

Li Feng put the rest of the books back, leaving only the one tucked under his arm.

At the same time, he looked at the scorching sun in midsummer through the window, thought for a while, and came up with an idea.

The hall on the first floor of the Bachelor's Tower is filled with rows of long tables and chairs, which looks a bit like the library study room in the player world.

In fact, as the political center of Storm Island, Storm's End Castle has attracted many university scholars, bachelors, and apprentices.

The governor provides them with accommodation, funds, and books so that they can study all kinds of knowledge here with peace of mind.

There are extraordinary fields, as well as non-extraordinary fields such as history, geography, culture, and technology.

In short, the Bachelor's Tower is the largest library on Storm Island, and it is also a place for bachelors to study.

But there are too many books here, so the university scholar appointed some apprentices who specialize in managing books.

They classified the numerous books and accurately recorded the specific locations of these books.

The bright sun in midsummer shone into the brown wooden stairs from the stained glass.

With the slight creaking sound of the wooden stairs, Li Feng returned to the first floor of the Bachelor's Tower.

At this time, the long tables and benches here were full of bachelors.

They were either discussing in a low voice in groups of three or two, or copying something seriously alone.

The hall was full of discussions of knowledge and the sound of pens rubbing against paper to record knowledge.

Li Feng walked to the side of the hall near the central corridor and found the apprentice in charge of managing the books.

Due to the surveillance of the Governor, Li Feng did not plan to read books in the Bachelor's Tower. He planned to take the books he wanted to read back to his room.

After all, the Governor once said that half of the books in the Bachelor's Tower would be given to him, so it was not wrong for him to take the books back to his personal room.

But in order to confuse the audience, Li Feng did not plan to only say the books he needed, but also add more books he did not need to the books he wanted.

So Li Feng told the apprentice who managed the books that he needed some books related to the forest of the goddess of hunting in the north.

Li Feng was a hunter, so it was natural for him to study and understand the forest of the goddess of hunting.

When it comes to the forest in the north, it is inevitable to involve the war with the trolls in the north, which just happened to include the books and history of the trolls.

Li Feng used this reason to ask the apprentice who managed the books to find books for him, covering history, geography, plants, trolls, oceans, and many other miscellaneous books.

Because of his title conferred by the king and his sophisticated way of dealing with people, the apprentice was very polite and enthusiastic towards Li Feng.

When he heard that he wanted to take so many books away from the Bachelor's Tower and take them to his room to read, the apprentice had no objection at all.

After all, the Governor had given half of the books in the Bachelor's Tower to Li Feng, so he was almost equivalent to half the owner of the Bachelor's Tower.

However, Li Feng had too many books to read.

The apprentice could only take out the thick notebook in which he recorded the location of the books, and then find the location of the books Li Feng needed one by one.

And Li Feng didn't want him to be too troublesome, so he took a pen and paper and recorded the location of those books one by one.

The apprentice was very grateful to Li Feng for helping him record, and he was more patient and careful during the query process.

In this way, on the workbench facing the corridor, the apprentice looked for the books while whispering the location of the books, and Li Feng wrote them down one by one.

But while writing, the apprentice who managed the books suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?"

Li Feng asked in confusion. He raised his head, but saw that the apprentice's hand, which was slightly raised in the air, suddenly stopped, and his eyes were looking forward in surprise.

"Oh my God, she is so beautiful--"

The apprentice suddenly said something without thinking.

Hearing this, Li Feng was full of questions, and followed the apprentice's gaze to look at the corridor behind him.

In the corridor where the bright summer sun shone, Xia and her maid walked in.

Uh...

Li Feng was also surprised for a moment when he saw Xia.

Unlike the cotton and white plain dress she wore every day, Xia wore a light blue satin long dress that was so shiny that it shone with light. She wore a pearl necklace that was obviously worth a lot of money around her neck, and also wore gemstone earrings and hair accessories.

How to say it, beauties also need to dress up, and beauties who dress up are even more glamorous.

Because of Xia's arrival, I don't know when, the sound of whispering about knowledge in the hall on the first floor of the Bachelor's Tower stopped, and the sound of pens rubbing against paper pages also stopped.

Those bachelors who were originally studying knowledge were now attracted by the glamorous Xia, just like the apprentices who managed the books.

Xia stood at the door for a moment, her eyes swept the hall, and after seeing Li Feng, she smiled and walked through the long corridor towards him.

…

"Will a fire make people rich?"

In the library on the third floor of the Bachelor's Tower.

Li Feng asked Xia, who was holding a list of books, while looking for books on the bookshelf.

If this was a player world, Li Feng would definitely ask her, how much fire insurance did you buy?

"Of course not, but..."

Xia tilted her head slightly, her expression couldn't hide her pride.

She held the big list, leaned close to Li Feng and lowered her voice, saying:

"The governor probably thought that he could contain you through me, so in order to win me over, he gave me a lot of good things.

Well-oh, when Elena saw me this morning, she almost fainted!"

Thinking of Elena's swollen face and her whole body shaking with anger, Xia couldn't help but cover her face with the list and laughed happily.

Last night, because of that strange dream, her room caught fire, and the flames burned two new skirts she made this summer.

The food, clothing and daily expenses of the women of Storm's End Castle are all managed by the Governor's favorite mistress, Lady Seren.

Lady Seren doesn't like Xia, and in fact, it was she who killed the real Xia and her mother.

Lady Seren arranged that Xia could only get two new clothes every winter and summer.

But as luck would have it, this year's summer clothes were burned.

When she was washing up and going out this morning, the maid Shirley rummaged through the boxes and found a dress from last year.

Because Lady Seren didn't like it, Xia's clothes were all made of coarse cotton.

The textile technology in this world is backward, cotton is not durable, and it fades very seriously.

Therefore, the dress from last year has faded and turned white, wrinkled, and the elbows and neckline are also rubbed thin, and it looks like it is about to rot.

Shirley thinks that her lady will be laughed at if she goes out wearing such clothes.

Especially that Elena, who was teasing her lady at the banquet last night.

Shirley wiped her tears while thinking, and took out the half-burned skirts from the ashes of the fire, intending to patch them together and make one.

But the skirt was burned more severely, and it was patched here and there.

And Xia frowned and was embarrassed at that time, thinking that the governor didn't need divination recently, and she couldn't embezzle funds from the monastery.

So money really stumped an illegitimate daughter who was of low status and targeted everywhere.

But who knew that at this moment, Knight Commander Lannis knocked on the door, and he brought four maids and several large boxes.

The boxes were full of jewelry and dozens of dresses of various seasons and styles.

And these dresses were not made of coarse cotton cloth, they were all made of expensive silk.

Just like the skirt Elena wore.

After some explanation, Xia knew that these four maids were arranged by the governor, and the jewelry dresses were also given by the governor.

Moreover, the governor also changed her residence, from the top floor of the dilapidated crystal tower to the second floor of the newly renovated red tower.

Shirley cried with joy after hearing the news.

Her young lady finally didn't have to worry about clothes anymore, and she didn't have to climb the highest floor every day.

But Xia was wondering in her heart, why did the governor treat her so well all of a sudden?

When four maids helped her dress up at the same time, and Shirley was directing her, Xia figured it out.

All this was because of that human whose real name was unknown and whose pseudonym was Rhine.

Xia couldn't help but recall the scene in her dream last night, and she coughed awkwardly.

Her sudden action scared the new maid, who thought she had hurt her.

After saying it was okay, Sia continued her analysis and roughly came to the conclusion.

The governor thought that Rhine had a good impression of him and could probably use him to contain Rhine, so he came to win over him.

So it’s not what Shirley said, why the Seven Gods can’t stand it... The Governor’s conscience found out...

All these changes are all because of that human being.

"But I think the Governor is wrong."

In the library on the third floor of the bachelor's tower, Li Feng said to Xia through the contract.

Shia nodded.

Indeed, I hate the governor more than Li Feng, so how could he be won over by some false gifts.

After all, he was not the real Sia, and that poor girl had died at the hands of the governor's mistress long ago.

The tall arched windows of the bachelor's tower are painted with various paintings, including the sea and mountains.

Li Feng and Xia continued to look for books layer by layer according to the list.

Climbing up the long wooden ladder next to the bookshelf, Li Feng got the book from the top of the bookshelf, and then handed it to Xia who was standing below.

When he bent down to hand over the book, he saw that the person below was dressed in jewels, and he couldn't help but feel happy. After all, Xia didn't need the money, so he didn't have to pay back the money.

"Oh, by the way, the story written by the troll mentioned some very special places."

Handing the book to be taken back to the room to the attendant, Xia told Li Feng about the troll story book she read this morning.

"The trolls called the land that was shattered and sunk to the bottom of the sea due to the war between the dragon and the lava lord, and called it the Lost Land."

"Land of the Lost?"

Li Feng immediately became energetic when he heard this word.

In the chat channel, official players also called the upcoming Theater of Sadness the Land of Loss.

"What else does the book say?"

Li Feng asked immediately.

"The book says that the creatures in the lost land will become resentful and evil spirits due to the deep sea."

Sia thought for a while and continued to recall:

"The resentful spirits and evil spirits will be trapped in the Lost Land. Not only that, they will also attract other unknown and evil things under the sea.

Then after thousands of years of gathering and evolution, lost places occasionally appeared and invaded the human world. "

Hearing this, Li Feng was stunned for a moment.

That Theater of Sadness, is exactly what it sounds like.

While Li Feng was worried about this matter, he handed the book he found to the attendant and asked him to send it back to his room.

The Theater of Sorrow is a place of loss, and in a place of loss there are trapped evil spirits.

Now, according to official players, wraiths and evil spirits are coming to wreak havoc on Storm Island through the Theater of Sorrow.

Now, although I don’t know when the Theater of Sadness appeared, I don’t know if the strangeness I encountered on Lighthouse Island is related to the Theater of Sadness.

But one thing is certain, the Theater of Sadness has tempted the player Zhihe, and Zhihe has come to Storm Island with an unknown purpose.

Paper Crane is a player, and he can return to the player world.

Compared to the Theater of Sadness where most of the information is unknown, the danger level of Paper Crane is clearer and more serious.

Today is August 11th, and the system shows that the end time of the fifth cycle is less than 5 days.

I don’t know when Violet Eyes will be able to reach Storm Island and when it will be able to capture the Paper Crane.

While Li Feng was thinking this, he suddenly found that the number of unread messages in the chat channel suddenly skyrocketed again.

He looked at Sia. She was currently helping the attendant proofread the books he wanted.

Li Feng casually picked up the book, opened it, pretended to read it, and then opened the chat channel.

*: "No, what do you mean? A sudden storm?"

*: "Oh my God, what a coincidence. Doesn't this cost human life?!"

*: "Don't get excited, everyone. Even if they arrive at Storm Island tomorrow, there are still 4 days left!"

Seeing the anxious players in the chat channel, Li Feng flipped through the chat history and finally figured out the whole story.

It turns out that just now, official players informed that Violet Eye's ship encountered a storm at sea and could not reach Storm Island today.

This also means that they cannot start catching paper cranes today.

The players are worried that if the Violet Eye catches the paper crane one day late, the player world will be even more dangerous.

What if they haven't caught the paper crane on August 15 and allowed the paper crane to return successfully? What will the player world do?

The player world is densely populated and cannot withstand the torment of out-of-control extraordinary beings.

After hearing the news, Li Feng also frowned and worried. It is indeed very dangerous and time-consuming for ships to encounter storms at sea.

*: "Oh, what should we do? Now we can only pray that the storm will pass quickly."

*: "Yes, hurry up and go there. I sincerely believe in the Seven Gods now, as long as the storm can pass today."

*: "Yeah, pray."

The helpless players began to pray.

Li Feng raised his head and looked out the window. The sky, which was clear and sunny just now, had now become gloomy.

Big dark clouds gathered in the sky, and Li Feng was worried. This was definitely not a good sign.
