Chapter 168 Mist Blade Moon Emperor
Finding books is a hundred times more troublesome than finding sections.
The latter only needed to walk along the corridor and look at the magical text on both sides, but finding the books required looking through them one by one. The 189 books of "Moonlight Potion: The Key to Alchemy" that she had previously thought would be the most troublesome were actually the easiest to find, because the entire list of books had a similarity of more than 98%, making it hard to miss them.
On the contrary, the other two are harder to find: "The Most Mysterious Potion Ingredient: Moonlight," which is divided into three volumes, and "Moonlight and Time," which is only two volumes. Finding five books among tens of thousands—or even hundreds of thousands—of books is obviously very difficult.
Moreover, the books that can be placed in the Moon Fox Royal Family Library are extremely precious. Almost half of the books have only one copy, and the rest have no more than three copies at most...
Too few! 30 bottles of potions to reset skill cooldowns are too few. She should have asked Hufflepuff for 100 bottles!
Yu Xunge looked at the walls of books one after another.
Even though Yu Xunge had been studying alchemy with Hedgehog for more than half a year, she still couldn't understand the titles of most of the books here. But that didn't stop her from treating the search for books as a learning process. Many times, the title was a summary that was condensed to the extreme.
For Yu Xunge, this moment and this place is an alchemy lesson.
As Yu Xunge looked at and memorized the book titles, she searched for the remaining five books. Whenever the timer vibrated, she would drink a potion and use her disguise skill again.
It took Yu Xunge four hours just to find the first row of bookshelves. More than five hours had passed since she entered the library. Yu Xunge held the back of her neck as she walked toward the second row of bookshelves. She almost bumped into someone at the corner. Yu Xunge's first reaction was to count the other person's tails.
Fortunately, it was also a six-tailed fox. Yu Xunge nodded to the other party and prepared to walk past the moon fox to the second row of bookshelves for potions. The six-tailed moon fox also nodded its chin and left, its hurried steps revealing its panic.
Yu Xunge: ?
Could they be from the same industry?
Yu Xunge turned around with a smile, then her smile froze on her face.
Less than three meters away from her, a nine-tailed moon fox dressed in a black magic robe was standing by a bookshelf, flipping through a book. The nine tails, with only black tips and the rest being white, danced behind her, swaying slowly in the air as if in a gentle breeze. The tips of the tails were even more than a meter higher than the moon fox's head.
If the Moon Foxes I met in Moon Lake City today each had their own unique beauty, then the Moon Fox before me exuded a noble beauty. However, more striking than her appearance was her aura; Yu Xunge didn't even dare to use his pocket watch's detection skill on her.
She is so strong that anyone who sees her stunningly beautiful face will subconsciously feel that commenting on her appearance is disrespectful to her—do I even deserve it?
Yu Xunge understood; no wonder the Moon Fox left in such a hurry earlier…
She walked over and bowed.
"If you meet a member of the Moon Fox royal family who has more tails than you, you must bow like this."
"Huh? Teacher, don't I have to smell their ears?"
"Do you have any survival skills?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"Then you can pass away."
The nine-tailed empress gave a soft "hmm" in response.
Yu Xunge then quietly left, intending to continue searching for books, but after only a few steps, a lazy voice sounded behind her.
Which clan do you belong to?
Yu Xunge turned around and said respectfully, "My lord, I come from the Frosttail Clan."
The Empress glanced over casually: "I've never seen you before." A six-tailed moon fox with a charm level of 10? That's quite rare.
Yu Xunge acted like a fanatical fan trying to contain his excitement after meeting his idol: "This is also the first time I've ever seen the legendary Mist Blade Moon Emperor."
Hilarious! Hufflepuff is practically a tailless moon fox. She knows which clans attended the Moon Fox Festival every ten years and which didn't. She knows which of the nine moon emperors likes excitement, which likes skipping work, and which likes alchemy. You wouldn't believe it, would you? She knows all of that!
She has been acting for so many years, and every time she used her acting talent in her previous life, she was honing her acting skills. Now, Yu Xunge's acting skills may not be top-notch, but they are enough to fool the Moon Emperor for a short time.
Mistblade's gaze returned to the book, and she said, "Go and find me the second volume of 'The Four Seasons, the Moon, and the Potions'."
Yu Xunge said, "I ask Your Majesty to scatter mist and dust for me as guidance."
One of the mist blade's tails twitched, and a wisp of mist extended towards a certain part of the library.
Yu Xunge immediately followed the direction indicated by the mist. A few minutes later, she stopped in front of a bookshelf, looked up at the book "The Four Seasons, the Moon and the Magic Potions" on the top shelf, and fell into a brief state of contemplation.
The ladder wasn't easy to take out. With her agility, she could easily use a few footholds to climb up, but that would mean stepping on the bookshelf, and she might even kick a book. Mist Blade Moon Emperor was reading nearby, which wouldn't be good...
But it's not like there's no way out.
The Soros pocket watch's set skill, "I'm in a hurry," only has a distance limit, but it doesn't say it can't be moved upwards. She immediately locked her gaze on the middle section of the bookshelf and used the skill "I'm in a hurry!"
*Smack*—Yu Xunge nimbly hung in the middle of the bookshelf, her hands gripping the edge, easily suspending herself in the middle of the shelf.
Perfect!! 10/10!! Elegant!!
Its six tails wagged happily behind it.
Now she only needs to wait 5 seconds for the cooldown to finish before she can use the skill again to reach the top of the bookshelf and get the book!
Startled by the sound, Mistblade Moon Emperor looked in the direction of the voice: "…………………………"
Five seconds later, Yu Xunge took the second volume of "The Four Seasons, the Moon and the Magic Potions," and casually picked up the first volume as well, before landing lightly on the ground.
She quickly returned to Mistblade Moon Emperor's side, handed him the book she wanted, and the latter stared at her for a while before waving her away.
Yu Xunge didn't dare to say another word and quickly left to continue searching for books.
Because she was in the same corridor as Mistblade Moon Emperor, even though they were dozens or hundreds of meters apart, Yu Xunge didn't dare to openly take out potions to drink. So for the next few hours, Yu Xunge spent her time consuming the potions in the magician's dentures.
Fortunately, the skill 【Armor Comes!】 is relatively concealed. Although there will be some magical fluctuations, they all affect the user. Even Mist Blade won't care too much. Moon Fox has many quirks.
During this time, Yu Xunge didn't even dare to eat. Every now and then, he would take out a book and pretend to read it for a few minutes to avoid arousing suspicion from Mist Blade Moon Emperor. Finally, on the 10th hour after entering the library, Yu Xunge found all the books that Hedgehog wanted.
But a new problem arises...
Mistblade Moon Emperor hasn't left yet.
