Chapter 181 018: Library
"Warning! Warning! Intruder spotted, intruder spotted!"
"Warning! Warning! Intruder spotted, intruder spotted!"
Although it had been crushed into a ball of scrap metal, the tin man still stubbornly made sounds.
Luo Xi pulled it closer out of curiosity, lifted up the iron head, and quickly found a generator inside. The design was quite ingenious.
"I see. Is this the core of the drive?"
"Soul crystal. It looks like it should be fused with the human soul, right?"
After briefly understanding the structure of this alchemical puppet, Luo Xi casually threw it into the space ring. There was a soul rune on it that seemed a bit interesting, so he would study it carefully later.
After dealing with the Tin Man, Luo Xi walked into the library smoothly.
There was no one to be seen in the huge library at this time. But it was true that at this time, I guess no apprentice would have the heart to read here, right?
“So many books!”
Looking at the bookshelves filled with books, Luo Xi felt jealous. After all, each book here represents valuable knowledge.
“It would be nice if we could collect them all.”
Thinking of this, Luo Xi couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Strictly speaking, these books here were all spoils of the Alliance. The wizards of the Alliance would definitely come and confiscate them afterwards.
It would be fine if he just took a few books to get some benefits, but if he took them all, the alliance would definitely track him down afterwards. I don't know how they would deal with him if they found out that he was a thief who took advantage of the chaos instead of helping in the battle and sneaked in to steal things.
"Forget it, there's no need for that. Most of the knowledge should be made public in the future anyway."
There are not many confidentiality requirements for apprentice-level knowledge. After these books are transported back by the Alliance, they will most likely be added to public libraries. Only a small amount of knowledge related to "dark wizards" will be controlled.
All you have to do is filter out this knowledge and take it away in advance.
Having said that, it is not easy to do so. Although it is not difficult to determine whether a book is controlled by the Alliance, you can basically tell it by spending half an hour reading the previous chapter.
But one or two books would be fine, the books here are piled up like mountains, at least hundreds or thousands of them. If you spend half an hour reading each book, it will take at least half a month to sort through them all. It is really impossible for other wizards to pick them out before the battle is over.
But this is not difficult for Luo Xi.
He picked up a few books and placed them on the table, flipping through them one by one, while turning on the system at the same time.
[You start reading "Mundlov's Third Series Runes", "Kaidiyago's Undead Structure", and "Yuwen's Fire Element Analysis", and you concentrate on it and forget about eating and sleeping. ]
【A day passed, and you watched some of them separately. 】
【Gain: A little knowledge. 】
I felt a slight soreness in my head, and then a lot of unfamiliar knowledge flooded into my mind, all about the books in my hands.
'Lucky, I've gained something right after arriving here!'
Luo Xi immediately picked out the book "The Structure of the Undead" by Kaitiago. This book involved relatively profound knowledge in the field of necromancy, and it would definitely be controlled if it fell into the hands of the Alliance.
As for the remaining two books, they are much more common. They are just very basic things and can probably be looked up in public libraries in the future.
Using this method, Luo Xi then went on to read through all the books in the library.
It would take other apprentices at least half a month to go through all the more than a thousand books, even if they just skimmed through them. However, Luo Xi finished reading them in less than twenty minutes.
After having a general understanding of these books, Luo Xi selected more than a dozen of them. He was very sure that these would be controlled once they fell into the hands of the alliance. If he didn't sort them out in advance, it would be difficult to get access to them later.
Then, Luo Xi took out a 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 and said, "Help me record all these books."
If we take all these books away, the Alliance will still become suspicious. After all, the apprentices are still in the tower, and it will be easy to find out afterwards that the books are wrong.
So Luo Xi prepared the Mirror Crystal in advance, and used it to record everything. Afterwards, he would give Alice a clean sweep, so that no one would know that he had stolen the knowledge, and no one would know about it.
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 you are. In a place like the Black Witch Domain, you will be directly put on the experiment table and become a test subject.
But now the tower is in chaos, and the only iron man guarding the library has been crushed into an iron lump by Luo Xi, so naturally no one can stop it.
Leaving Alice at the library to record knowledge, Luo Xi then went to the wizard-level library.
The Wizarding Library is located above the Apprentice Library, and a spiral staircase connects the two.
However, this is a restricted area for apprentices. Alice, who is just a junior apprentice, has never been there and doesn't dare to go up there. According to her, she will instinctively feel danger as long as she gets close to the spiral staircase.
After asking for the route, Luo Xi quickly arrived at the innermost spiral staircase of the library. It was exactly as Alice described. As soon as he arrived here, he felt a strong mental fluctuation.
Unlike Alice who could only sense the danger, as a wizard he could clearly see the energy circuit of this mental fluctuation. Judging from this energy reaction, there should be special defensive magic installed here.
"Defense magic. Is there any danger?"
After thinking about it, Luo Xi took out the Grim Reaper's scythe, raised his hand and waved it, summoning a skeleton warrior.
"Go, go up and find the way for me."
As his order was given, the skeleton warrior immediately walked up the stairs obediently. The sound of their bare bones walking on the smooth stairs made a "tapping" sound, which was particularly clear in this library equipped with silent magic.
Soon, the skeleton warrior disappeared from Luo Xi's sight and reached the top of the stairs.
However, at this moment, the mental connection between the skeleton warrior and him was suddenly broken, just like a mobile phone losing its signal. No matter how Luo Xi responded, there was no response at all.
Before Luo Xi could come to his senses, he heard a few "ding-dong" sounds, and pieces of broken bones rolled down the stairs.
The original skeleton warriors were now scattered all over the ground.
