Chapter 181 018: Library
"Warning! Warning! Intruder spotted, intruder spotted!"
"Warning! Warning! Intruder spotted, intruder spotted!"
Although it had been crushed into a pile of scrap metal, the tin man still stubbornly made sounds.
Luo Xi curiously pulled it closer, opened the tin head, and quickly found a generator inside, which was quite ingeniously designed.
"So that's it, is this the core of the drive?"
"Soul crystal. It looks like it should be fused through human souls?"
After a brief understanding of the structure of this alchemical puppet, Luo Xi casually threw it into the space ring. There was a soul rune on it that felt a bit interesting, and he would study it carefully later.
After dealing with the tin man, Luo Xi walked into the library smoothly.
There was no one in the huge library at this time, but it was true that at this time, I'm afraid no apprentice would have the mind to read books here, right?
"So many books!"
Looking at the bookshelves full of books, Luo Xi's eyes were full of envy. After all, each book here represents a piece of valuable knowledge.
"It would be great if they could all be collected."
Thinking of this, Luo Xi couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Strictly speaking, these books here are all spoils of war of the Alliance. Afterwards, the wizards of the Alliance will definitely come to collect them.
It's okay to take a few books to get some wool, but if they take all of them, the Alliance will definitely track them down. If they know that he is a thief who took advantage of the chaos and didn't help to fight and sneaked in to steal things, I don't know how they will deal with him.
"Forget it, there is no need for this. Anyway, most of the knowledge should be open to the public later."
There are not many confidentiality requirements for apprentice-level knowledge. After these books are transported back by the Alliance, they will most likely be filled in the public library. Only a small part of the knowledge of "dark wizards" will be controlled.
And I just need to select this part of knowledge and take it away in advance.
Having said that, it is not easy to do so. Although it is not difficult to judge whether a book will be controlled by the alliance, as long as you spend half an hour and read the last chapter, you can basically see it.
But one or two books are fine. The books here are piled up like a mountain, at least hundreds or thousands of books. If you read each book for half an hour, it will take at least half a month to sort them all out. It is really impossible for other wizards to pick them out before the end of the battle.
But this is not difficult for Luo Xi.
He picked up a few books and put them on the table and opened them one by one, and turned on the system at the same time.
[You started reading "Mundlov's Third Series Runes", "Kaidiago Undead Structure", and "Juven Fire Element Analysis", concentrating on it and forgetting to eat and sleep. ]
[A day passed, and you read some of them. ]
[Gain: A little knowledge. ]
A slight soreness came from my head, and then a lot of unfamiliar knowledge flooded into my mind, all about these books in my hand.
'Not bad luck, I gained something just after I came here! ’
Luo Xi immediately picked out the book on the structure of the dead spirits of Kaitiago. This book involves the more profound knowledge in the field of dead spirits, and it will definitely be controlled if it falls into the hands of the alliance.
As for the remaining two books, they are much more ordinary, and they are just very basic things. Most of them can be consulted in the public library in the future.
Using this method, Luo Xi then read through all the books in the entire library.
More than a thousand books, all of which would take at least half a month for other apprentices to read roughly, but Luo Xi finished reading in less than 20 minutes.
After having a general understanding of these books, Luo Xi selected more than a dozen books from them. He was very sure that these would be controlled if they fell into the hands of the alliance. If they were not sorted out in advance, it would be difficult to access them later.
Then, Luo Xi took out a piece of mirror crystal that he had prepared in advance.
He handed the crystal to Alice and asked, "Do you know how to use this?"
Alice nodded: "Mirror Crystal, I know."
Luo Xi pointed to the books he had picked out next to him: "Help me record all these books."
If all these books were taken away, the alliance would still be suspicious. After all, the apprentices in the tower were still there, and it would be easy to find out that the books were wrong afterwards.
So Luo Xi prepared the Mirror Crystal in advance, and recorded it through the Mirror Crystal. Afterwards, he would give Alice a zero, so that no one would know that he had stolen knowledge, and it would be done without anyone noticing.
Alice took the Mirror Crystal to record the knowledge. It is worth mentioning that this kind of thing would definitely not be done under normal circumstances. Copying knowledge without permission is a serious crime no matter where it is, and in a place like the Black Witch Domain, it would be directly put on the experimental table as a test subject.
However, the tower is now in a mess, and the only guard of the library, the iron man, has been squeezed into an iron lump by Luo Xi, so naturally no one can stop it.
After leaving Alice in the library to record knowledge, Luo Xi then went to the wizard library.
The wizard library is above the apprentice library, and the two can be reached by a spiral staircase.
However, this is a restricted area for apprentices. Alice, who is just a junior apprentice, has never been there, and dares not to go up. According to her, as long as she approaches the spiral staircase, she will instinctively feel danger.
After asking for the route, Luo Xi quickly came to the innermost spiral staircase of the library. Sure enough, it was consistent with Alice's description. As soon as he came here, he felt a strong mental fluctuation.
Unlike Alice who could only feel the danger, as a wizard, he could clearly see the energy circuit of this mental fluctuation. Judging from this energy reaction, there should be a special defensive magic installed here.
"Defensive magic. Is it dangerous?"
After thinking about it, Luo Xi took out the Grim Reaper's sickle and waved his hand to summon a skeleton warrior.
"Go, go up and scout the way for me."
As his order was issued, the skeleton warrior immediately walked up the stairs obediently. The bare bones walked on the smooth stairs, making a "da da da" sound, which was particularly clear in this library with silent magic.
Soon, the skeleton warrior disappeared from Luo Xi's field of vision and reached the top of the stairs.
However, at this moment, the spiritual connection between the skeleton warrior and him was suddenly broken, just like a mobile phone losing signal. No matter how Luo Xi responded, there was no response.
Before Luo Xi came to his senses, he heard a few "ding ding dang dang" sounds, and pieces of broken bones rolled down the stairs.
The original skeleton warrior was scattered all over the ground.
