Bai Xi's greatest hobbies were shipping couples and reading fanfiction. She especially loved the popular ensemble manga "The Great Ensemble". Then... she transmigrated.
Good news:...
After parting ways with Xiu, Maggie went out and headed straight for the Royal Library.
Although the temple's library contained most of the knowledge and magic, it was still far from enough for Maggie.
During her conversations with the elemental spirits, she discovered that although she was very familiar with the comic's plot and knew a lot about the future and past of key characters, she knew almost nothing about the history of the continent of Coral itself.
It should be noted that the students who graduated from the Lunita Magic Academy were not only qualified formal magicians, but they also had far more knowledge of the history of magic, the chronicles of the continent of Coral, and the alternation of eras than she did.
She remembered that the competition between the various magic academies was approaching, and as the Holy Maiden of the Temple, she would definitely be invited to watch the competition in a VIP seat. If she, as the Holy Maiden of Light, made a mistake due to a lack of knowledge and someone seized on it, she would become a laughing stock.
In addition, most of the books in the Temple of Light that are not related to magic record the achievements of the God of Light.
Maggie thought that if it were the royal library, the books would be relatively more objective.
Sometimes, knowing more about something can be useful in the future, and might even produce unexpected results.
The royal palace of the Kingdom of Saint Na is also very complicated, but if the original owner of this body were here, she might be more familiar with it. Unfortunately, Maggie has no memory of it.
Fortunately, the etiquette officer Mandel arranged for someone to guide her, and Maggie soon arrived at the library.
The heavy, intricately patterned gate in front of us is adorned with golden designs, both magnificent and ancient, conveying a sense of historical weight and showcasing the wealth of the royal palace.
"Your Highness, what book would you like to read?"
The librarian was a very young man. When he noticed her push the door open and come in, a look of amazement flashed in his eyes. Then he walked up to her respectfully and asked her.
Maggie guessed that he must be the son of some noble family to have the opportunity to do this job, which is both leisurely and convenient for acquiring knowledge.
After all, in a world like the continent of Coral where magic is the dominant force, knowledge truly equals strength.
"Just take a look, don't worry about me."
Maggie shook her head and walked straight into the slightly dark corridor, thus missing the librarian's hesitant expression.
He reached out his hand towards Maggie's retreating figure, his mouth opening and closing in hesitation, perhaps worried that offering a random suggestion might leave a bad impression on the Holy Maiden of Light.
After a while, his arm fell back down, and he gave up telling Maggie that there were vague signs of ghosts inside. After all... with the strength of the Holy Maiden of Light, there was no need for a nobody like him to worry.
Maggie continued walking forward, oblivious to everything around her, a treasure trove in itself.
Compared to the spiraling, multi-tiered structure of the temple library, the corridors here are terrifyingly long, with both sides filled with a vast number of books.
Her gaze swept over the book titles one by one. Most of them were written in Common Language, while only a few had magical language and symbols printed on the covers, making them look very mysterious.
"Why don't you ask me something? The things recorded in these books may not be true. Don't you humans love to rewrite history after you've become the victors?"
Unnoticed, Little Ghost and Roy sneaked in as well. After realizing Maggie's purpose, Little Ghost curled his lip in disdain.
"But even if it's as you say, these things still have reference value. Or rather, even if you know the truth of history, so what? When everyone reaches a consensus, even falsehoods are considered true."
"On the contrary, the facts you state will be taken as fabrications."
Maggie walked down the quiet corridor, looking for a history book that interested her, while talking to the little ghost.
The little ghost fell silent for a moment upon hearing this, seemingly aware that Maggie was telling the truth. After a long pause, he could only manage to squeeze out a single sentence.
"You really are a cunning human."
Maggie had heard these words countless times before; they were not aggressive at all, but rather soft and gentle, lacking even a fraction of the malice of human curses.
"Okay, okay, you're right."
Maggie nodded perfunctorily, too lazy to argue with the little ghost about whether she was clever or cunning.
Suddenly, her gaze fell upon a book titled "The Complete History of the Continent of Coral," which apparently wasn't kept in the temple, as she hadn't seen it in the temple library.
Maggie reached out and pulled out the book. It was a thick, heavy volume, and when she turned it over, there were a few small words engraved on the back.
This is a distorted and flawed general history; I do not recommend anyone open it.
This note immediately caught Maggie's attention. As the saying goes, "A person weighing 100 pounds has 99 pounds of rebellious bones," and seeing this sentence made her even more eager to read on.
And how could a misprinted copy end up in the Royal Library?
Things are getting interesting.
Maggie blew away the dust that had settled on the top of the book, carefully opened it, worried that it might oxidize if left out for too long, and that touching it might damage it.
Maggie realized something was wrong the moment she touched the texture of the paper. This book had probably been enchanted, because it felt brand new.
It's as if it's been protected from the very beginning.
This makes it even more unreasonable. Why would they take such a serious matter over a misprint?
"Huh?"
Roy, who was standing nearby, also sensed the magical aura and quickly flew to Maggie's side, staring at the book with great curiosity.
"I want to see it, Maggie, let me see what's inside!"
There were very few things that could interest Roy. Most of the elemental spirits were indifferent to desires, which surprised Maggie even more. What was so special about this book?
Maggie opened the table of contents and saw that the amount of information recorded from top to bottom was five or six times more extensive than the brief history of the continent outside, and it even recorded the primitive era.
But back then... humans clearly couldn't even control magic, if it weren't for the elemental spirits...
Maggie's eyes narrowed; she felt she could see a history she couldn't even imagine within it.
Her fingers traced the table of contents downwards, from the earliest Primal Era to the Golden Dragon Era, the Deep Sea Mermaid Era, the Forest Elf Era, then to the Undead Scourge, and finally to the current God Era.
At the very end of the table of contents, there is even a record of information related to demons.
Maggie's mind was filled with the image of Safa's handsome yet sinister face, even the horns on his head and the bone wings on his back exuded evil. So she simply turned to the page about demons, though she didn't have much hope of getting any information about Safa.
To everyone's surprise, the first introduction to the demon king was: 'The Demon King isn't actually a pure-blooded demon. His mother was half succubus, which makes his horns more like a succubus's ram horns than a normal demon's bull horns.'
