Chapter 178 The gift of knowledge
and the complaints of these corpses are of no use.
Saul has not violated the prohibition, and these corpses cannot harm him, but if Saul has violated the prohibition, these corpses will not let him go.
After working on the body until midnight, Saul went to Kaz to report it early the next morning.
Sol simply ignored the private transaction and only mentioned that after he accidentally pushed open the two doors, the senior next to him was grabbed in by noodle-like arms and has not come out yet.
Sure enough, Instructor Kaz did not ask about the details of the matter, but simply said, "I know." Two days
later, Saul came to the tenth floor of the East Tower with two borrowed books about evil spirits. 's library.
Of the two books he found, only the first one recorded a story related to the Nightmare Butterfly. The relevant information is still ambiguous. Apart from the knowledge that nightmare butterflies are scary, can obscure people's cognition, and can be captured, Thor has almost no other gains.
Moreover, the identity of the last third narrator in the story is also very suspicious. I don’t know who he is.
Is it a third party who watched the tragedy happen...or is it the nightmare butterfly?
Because there were no other clues, Thor could only temporarily strengthen the seal on the Nightmare Chrysalis, but did not dare to continue research.
He was afraid that one day this cocoon would come back into his eyes again.
After he solves his physical problem, it won't be too late to invite Diary to study the nightmare butterfly's cocoon.
Thinking back to the present, Thor entered the library.
It was very lively here today, with many apprentices wandering among the bookshelves in the front row.
The person in charge of registration was still the arrogant young administrator.
Saul walked over directly, "Hello, Mr. Administrator, I'm here to return these two books."
The young man turned his head with his lips curled up, and when he saw it was Saul, his expression changed and he looked a little nervous, "Oh, then Just give me the book."
Sol was a little surprised when he heard the young man's words. In the past, when they returned books, they would register them with the administrator and then put them back in their original places.
If the book is not put back in its original place, the administrator will raise the price severely the next time the apprentice borrows the book.
That price is definitely a painful lesson for any apprentice.
But today...why is the process different?
Sol didn't understand why the young administrator was a little unusual today, but with so many apprentices around him, he still obediently handed over the book in his hand.
In this regard, he has always been obedient.
"Do you still want to borrow books today?" Unexpectedly, after the young man took the book, he was stunned for a while. Just when Saul was about to leave, he suddenly stopped him.
Thor originally had no plan to borrow books, but it was rare for the other party to ask such a warm and polite question. He still answered cautiously, "I... don't have many magic crystals recently." Although he just made five hundred - after all, the candle
lasted It was indeed in Ferguson's hands, so this unexpected deal was finally concluded.
But there is never enough money to spend, and prices are rising simultaneously with the improvement of strength.
It is said that the experimental materials commonly used by official wizards are worth astronomical figures, so they generally do not purchase the materials and often make them themselves.
"Ahem, there are some defaced soul books that need to be disposed of recently. I remember that you are very interested in books in this area. Do you want to consider taking over?" "Can I buy books in the library?" Sol suddenly became interested
. .
Because in the wizarding world, the unknown often contains dangers, so places like the library are actually very unsafe.
If all books were open to the public normally, nine out of ten apprentices in the Wizard Tower would go crazy.
But if he can really buy books at a low price, Saul is still willing to take risks for useful knowledge.
After all, he can determine whether a book is dangerous to him before opening the cover.
"Yes, because they are damaged and dirty books. After confirming that they are not contaminated, we will sell them to suitable apprentices at low prices."
Thor still felt a little strange, "But I have been in the Wizard Tower for two years and I didn't listen. I said..."
"Do you think organizing the library is easy? It would be good if you can organize it once every two years." The young man stared, looking like he was about to get angry.
Seeing that the young man had returned to his previous irritability, Thor felt a little relieved.
"Then please show me."
The young man raised his chin, "Go to the bookshelf in the first row and eighth row. There are books ready to be disposed of."
Saul looked around and found nothing. Finding something unusual, he peeked at the diary on his shoulder, but there was no movement, so he walked towards the first row of bookshelves.
"This is the eighth row."
Sol walked to his destination and found that there was no one nearby.
"It will only be recommended to the right people, so not many people know the news, right?" Sol said to himself and approached the bookshelf.
There are only a few books on this bookshelf, arranged in a messy manner.
These books were basically relatively low-level books without any protective seals on them. Thor could see the covers of all the books at a glance.
There is actually a book in there that Sol borrowed when he was a first-level student.
He turned to several other books, and sure enough, two of them were related to the soul.
Just when Sol was about to step forward to take a closer look, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Sol next to the bookshelf.
It's the old administrator.
With his hands behind his back, he walked past the two books that Saul was interested in.
"'The Empty Book' and 'Teaching You to Hide in the Cracks', one is missing the second half, and the middle part of the other is stained beyond repair. Although the contents cannot be repaired, they can also provide some scattered knowledge."
The elderly administrator turned around slowly with his hands behind his back, a smile on his face.
"A book costs 300 magic crystals or 29 credits. If you want them all, you can get them for 560 magic crystals or 54 credits." Is there
any discount for buying more?
Saul stepped forward and asked, "Can I take a look at the contents?"
In the past, you could read the first few pages when borrowing books from the library.
Unexpectedly, the old man shook his head.
"No! When handling books, inspection is not supported. Buy if you need it, and put it down if you don't."
This is a bit unreasonable.
Whether it is credits or magic crystals, they are not small sums to Thor.
Sol was a little embarrassed.
But the names of these two books attracted him very much.
Especially the second book, it always reminded Thor of the black shadows that jumped around and hid in the gaps between the stone bricks before the tower master appeared.
"I want them all, and I'll pay with credits!" Thor said cruelly, gritting his teeth and taking them all.
He doesn't have many magic crystals, but he still has some credits. Senior Wright cashed in the IOU as soon as he returned to the Wizard Tower. So Sol saved more than a hundred credits in the past few days.
But these days were full of experiments and borrowing books, and the assets quickly dropped to less than one hundred.
If he buys these two books this time, his credits will drop to thirty.
But for wizards, knowledge is fundamental, so even though it hurt, Thor insisted on buying these two books.
When others buy such a incomplete book, they may worry that they will embark on the wrong research path due to lack of key knowledge.
But Thor has the Death Wizard's diary, which can correct his mistakes at any time. The worst result is that he can't find the right path, and he won't go crazy and die because of wrong understanding.
Hearing Sol's choice, the elderly administrator smiled even deeper.
"Okay, then take these two books and go check out."
After saying that, the old man's figure suddenly disappeared, and only the lingering sound echoed in Sol's ears.
"Are they really here to sell the books? Do they get a commission from selling the books?"
Saul didn't know why and stepped forward to take two books.
Sudden!
A hand covered with pink bandages pulled out the "Ethereal Book" from Thor's hand.
Thor looked up and saw the tower master who was completely hidden in a brown-red cloak.
"Tower Master?"
Gorsa held the spine of the book and raised it to his eyes, looked at it for a few times, let out a soft hum of unknown meaning, and then threw the "Empty Spiritual Book" back on the bookshelf.
The book, which was less than one centimeter thin, fell heavily on the bookshelf with a "bang" sound, which even shook the partition of the bookshelf twice.
It seemed that what fell on it was not a book, but a person.
Going home, the second time today is more likely to be in the evening.
Try to write something on the train.
Also, please ask for a monthly ticket. There is still a gap of more than 1,700 to 1,000. It may be too late, but try your best!
