Chapter 184 021: Wizard's Library
The ghost army in the corridor outside seemed to be the only means of defense here. After that, there were no more obstacles and Luo Xi walked into the library at the end smoothly.
Compared to the apprentice library below, this one is obviously much smaller, covering an area of only about 20 square meters. There are two floors in total, and the total number of bookshelves inside is probably less than ten. It is estimated that there are no more than a hundred books.
“Very little.”
But this is normal. Wizard-level knowledge is extremely rare no matter where it is placed. After all, there are not many people who can be promoted to wizards.
Luo Xi glanced around and his eyes fell on a magic book on one of the bookshelves. The title of the book was: "Element Transformation at Extremely Low Temperatures".
He was just about to walk over when he didn't expect that the book seemed to sense something. Suddenly, a faint light flashed on its surface, and it jumped down from the bookshelf and flew towards Luo Xi, opening and closing its pages.
"Hmm? Is the magic still stable?"
Wizard-level libraries are indeed different.
The book quickly flew in front of Luo Xi, and Luo Xi stretched out his hand and took it from the air.
There were originally no tables, chairs or benches in this library, but the moment Luo Xi got the book, a transparent chair suddenly appeared under his buttocks, and a transparent square table appeared in front of him.
"Huh? So advanced?"
Luo Xi took a closer look and found that it was made up of pure elemental energy. It should be a magic spell nested with the books here. When he picked up the books, it judged that he wanted to read, so it conjured up a table and chairs.
“Is there anything else peculiar?”
Luo Xi thought curiously and sat down on the chair.
And the moment he sat down, the space around him twisted and changed rapidly. The originally narrow and cramped library soon disappeared, and was replaced by a pleasant garden with green grass, singing birds and fragrant flowers.
“Is this an illusion?”
Luo Xi was amazed. If it was an illusion spell, then this illusion was too realistic. After all, Luo Xi could even smell the fragrance of the soil and the scent of morning dew.
"Welcome to the Shadow Tower Library, distinguished guest, is there anything Lina can do for you?"
At this moment, a voice sounded in Luo Xi's ears, and a transparent shadow floated in front of Luo Xi. It looked like an elf girl with pointed ears and trimmed green hair. She was wearing a black and white maid dress and looked polite.
Luo Xi raised his eyebrows: "Is this a soul servant? Or a soul-based alchemical puppet?"
The girl's words and expressions are very realistic, and her facial expressions change smoothly, making her look like a real person. She is very different from those rigid and stiff soul servant alchemy puppets.
Hearing Luo Xi's question, the girl said arrogantly: "Neither, I am a tower spirit."
"Ta Ling!"
"There's actually a tower spirit in this library!"
Rosie was shocked.
Tower spirit can be understood as a kind of ghost, but it is a very high-end spiritual life.
Under normal circumstances, after the death of humans or other intelligent life forms, their souls will naturally return to the realm of nothingness. Occasionally, due to some special circumstances, their souls will be temporarily preserved, or part of them will be preserved, forming the ghosts or soul fragments that people are familiar with.
But no matter which situation it is, this kind of soul is incomplete. For example, some ghosts are obsessed with completing a certain thing, and soul fragments only know a certain memory.
As a result, these ghosts and soul fragments have gone beyond the scope of intelligent life and can no longer communicate logically with humans. Even if they are controlled by wizards, they can only perform simple tasks, such as being deployed as guards.
However, there is also a special case. Due to some reasons that cannot be identified at present, the soul of intelligent life basically does not lose after death but is preserved intact.
Such a soul is very advanced. Apart from the change in life form, its thinking consciousness is no different from before. It can communicate and complete complex tasks assigned by wizards. It is an extremely high-end soul life.
Such soul beings are usually entrusted with important tasks by wizards, and one of them is to arrange them as tower spirits in the wizard tower.
Luo Xi's heart skipped a beat and he immediately started thinking about how to take the tower spirit away.
This kind of soul life is very special and quite difficult to form. Once it is controlled, it is equivalent to having an extra ghost butler who can be dispatched at any time, not to mention the huge research value of this special life itself.
Luo Xi said quickly: "Oh! I see, it's Miss Lina, right? Nice to meet you, I'm Luo Xi, a novice wizard from the Elemental Castle."
Lina said: "Elemental Castle, um, I know that the people attacking the wizard tower outside are your people, right?"
Luo Xi shrugged: "I'm sorry to cause you trouble."
Lina shook her head and said nonchalantly: "You're overthinking. I'm not bothered at all. Anyway, this perverted wizard tower should have been destroyed long ago. Regarding your coming, I just want to say, well, well done."
Luo Xi: “.”
Although the Tower Spirit is different from other rigid magical creatures that only know how to blindly obey their master's orders, this kind of personality still makes Luo Xi feel a little at a loss.
He then asked, "Is that so? Then I wonder what Miss Lina is going to do next?"
Lina floated to a bookshelf and said with a shabby look, "Plan? What plans can a ghost like me have?"
"Anyway, we're all tower spirits. After you, the Elemental Castle, take over this place, you'll definitely need someone to guard the library, right? Then just let it go."
After a pause, she seemed to have thought of something, raised her eyebrows, turned her head and looked at Luo Xi up and down, and finally noticed Luo Xi's fiery eyes staring at her.
Lina was surprised and said, "I see, you don't want to take me for yourself, do you?"
Uh, was it spotted?
Luo Xi nodded and admitted generously: "The Tower Spirit is very attractive to any wizard. If possible, I really hope to establish a cooperative relationship with Miss Lina."
Lina laughed awkwardly: "Partnership? You are such an interesting person."
"A soul is a soul. In the eyes of wizards, it is just a tool, right? It is just a high-end tool that is intact. Tools can only be used and used. How can you cooperate with tools?"
That's true.
No matter how complete the soul body is, it is still just a soul body. In the eyes of a wizard, it is no different from other magical servants. It is just a tool that can be used.
After a few complaints, Lina suddenly changed the subject.
"but."
"It doesn't matter who I hang out with. If you want me to follow you, that's fine."
