Several days later, when Catherine and the others took some time to come to the library to select secret manuals, all they found was an old man in a different form, sitting quietly at the desk in the library, reading a book.
The learning experience at the Elf Royal Academy is quite different from that at Hope Academy.
First of all, the mentors here are more capable and have more extensive knowledge.
At Hope Academy, apart from Dean Lynn, who has sixth-level strength, the other instructors are mostly around third-level, and fourth-level instructors are extremely rare.
However, at the Elf Royal Academy, fourth rank is the starting point for all instructors, and fifth rank instructors are commonplace. Moreover, compared to Hope Academy, the instructors here seem to be much busier.
As one of Ye Chen's main fighting clans, all members of the Silver Laurel Moon Elf clan are desperately trying to improve their strength in order to prepare for the upcoming Dark War.
There are virtually no extended class times or extra after-class explanations here. No tutor is overly concerned about students' learning and growth; everything depends on yourself. Unless you can truly win over a tutor, you won't be able to learn things that you can't learn in the classroom.
Even so, none of the students chose to leave. The instruction from a group of fourth- and fifth-level instructors, even if it was just the knowledge from the general classroom, was enough to benefit them greatly.
Not to mention the library of the Elf Royal Academy, whose collection far surpasses that of the Hope Academy. The vast collection of books from all the heavens and the myriad worlds has brought everyone a wealth of previously unheard-of knowledge, and everyone's horizons have been rapidly broadened in this environment.
If one is fortunate enough to become a disciple of a mentor, the road ahead will be smooth, and one will be able to see a wider world.
"Hello! These are our borrowing slips!" Catherine handed over three borrowing slips to Ye Chen.
"Yes, you can borrow three books, but you can only look at them in the library and only the person reading them is allowed to do so. You understand the rules, right?" Ye Chen took the voucher from Catherine, glanced at it, and then spoke.
At this moment, he had undergone a special disguise, looking like an old man in his sixties or seventies, with a full head of white hair, loose skin, cloudy eyes, and an aged voice that made the three of them not suspect anything, let alone associate him with Ye Chen.
“I know!” Catherine said respectfully. Over the past few days of classes, she had discovered that none of the instructors here were chosen randomly. Even the ordinary librarians had strength of at least the third rank, and the managers even had the strength of the fourth rank, which was much stronger than Hope Academy.
"Just so you know. There are devices there that can look up information on all the books in the library. Just tell me what you need!" Ye Chen nodded and pointed to the touchscreen devices next to him.
The library contains cultivation manuals, so they are not allowed to browse them at will. They can only search for them using these devices, and then Ye Chen will hand them over to them.
Of course, if one could obtain permanent access to the library, there would be no need for this device; one could simply browse the bookshelves at will and read whatever one wanted.
In the era of spiritual practice, acquiring knowledge requires payment, and spiritual practice also emphasizes lineage. The academy merely provides a platform; whether one can acquire the knowledge and inheritance within it depends on one's own abilities.
"Emmm, I major in fire magic and alchemy. You've been here for a long time, do you have any recommendations?" Instead of rushing to find any secret manuals, Catherine looked at Ye Chen with a sweet smile.
"Fire magic and alchemy? There's a book called 'The Alchemist's Fantastic Journey,' which records the legacy of an alchemist. As for fire magic, Zhu Rong's fire law course is more than enough to surpass everything!" Ye Chen looked up at her and thought for a moment before speaking.
Actually, he hadn't been in the Royal Academy's library for long and didn't know many types of books. The Royal Elf Academy's library was huge; they had brought in all sorts of secret manuals back then, and it would probably take decades to read them all. But what he knew already far exceeded what these new students knew.
"Teacher Zhurong's fire magic?" Catherine was taken aback. She had attended Zhurong's fire magic class before, but the content taught in class was quite obscure and difficult to understand, and many parts conflicted greatly with the fire magic she knew.
Most importantly, Zhu Rong still cannot explain these conflicts. For him, mastering the laws of fire is his racial talent, just like how humans walk on their feet. But why do we have legs to walk? It is difficult to explain clearly.
Therefore, after listening a few times, Catherine stopped listening. She felt that Zhu Rong's fire-based laws were not the path of fire magic for her, and Zhu Rong didn't look like a magician. His burly physique made him look more like a warrior.
"Magic is the manipulation of elements, but the flow of elements needs to follow certain rules, and these rules are the prototype of laws!" Ye Chen explained, and at the same time, a book flew out of the library automatically. It was the book he had introduced, "The Alchemist's Fantastic Journey".
"Here you go. This is the alchemist's notebook, which records his alchemical heritage. It's not too powerful, but it's enough for you to learn up to the fifth level or higher!" Ignoring the other woman's horrified expression, Ye Chen calmly handed the book to Catherine, then turned his gaze to the other two. "The Scripture Pavilion hasn't been built for long, so I'm not very clear about the manuals you're using. You'll have to find them yourselves!"
After Ye Chen finished speaking, he ignored the three of them and began to read the book he hadn't finished.
Seeing this, the three looked at each other, not daring to ask any more questions. They thanked Ye Chen and walked towards the equipment next to them. Catherine also found an empty table and began copying from the notebook in her hand.
The secret manuals in the library cannot be borrowed, but copying is allowed. Ye Chen was only worried that if the manuals were lost, he would have to go out and buy another copy. As for the dissemination of knowledge, he was actually happy to see it happen. Setting up the threshold was just to make these people understand the value of knowledge.
Heluga and Churchill browsed through the equipment continuously. The rich collection of books in the library amazed them. Even just searching for the types of books they needed took them a whole morning to finish. They didn't even have time to look at many of the special books. The secret manual gift pack from Wanwulou really brought Ye Chen a pleasant surprise, and he decided to put it on his Duobao Trading Network in the future.
Ultimately, Houndoom chose a book on the use of internal energy to improve his control over power; Churchill, on the other hand, chose a secret manual called "The Art of Vision" to enhance his eyesight.
The two arrived at Ye Chen's place, obtained the books they wanted, and began copying them together with Catherine.
