Chapter 519: Imperial Capital Library (1/3)

  Chapter 519 Imperial Capital Library (13)

  The Imperial Capital Library is located on the first floor of Zhongcheng District.

This is where most of the public facilities and administrative headquarters of the imperial capital are located, and it is also the advance base for the Setars to explore the great maze of the imperial capital—so there are still many structures similar to fortress bunkers here, but now, these black towers and strong The fortress has now been transformed into a department, and the Imperial Capital Library is located in the center of this layered fortress group.

The original body of the Great Library of the Imperial Capital was used to store the documents of pre-epoch civilization materials found in the Imperial Capital. When the document administrators classified and managed various documents here, the Setar Empire had not yet Existence, only a city-state struggling to survive in the wilderness.

Today, it is already a giant. The huge library looks like a castle giant from a distance. The rigid lines and strong walls make it look more like a fortress storing top-secret objects. It is not a knowledge paradise for most people to read and learn.

   This impression is actually not wrong. Because the Imperial Capital Library is indeed not open to everyone.

  It is a mysterious place that requires a special reading card just to settle in, and it is not completely open even to nobles.

Ian has a reading card, and so does Mofeng—although in theory, every goblin needs a reading card, but the library staff who are in charge of reviewing this point don't particularly want to delve into these issues with the goblin. In addition, Mo Feng is indeed an old acquaintance, so he turned a blind eye and let the fairies go.

   As for Ian, of course, there is no problem at all, and nothing happened to make things difficult. The staff saw that Ian’s face was relatively unfamiliar, and they enthusiastically asked if they needed to lead the way and help find books.

   "No, thank you very much, but I want to appreciate the beauty of the design of the Imperial Capital Library."

  Ian declined politely.

  To tell the truth, for a teenager, being able to enter the big library itself is like a dragon entering the vault. He can't wait to gather all the books together and 'silver chip, scan! ’—If you think about it carefully, Inaiga II must have done this back then, **** it, what a great emperor? It's really easy to get off to a good start.

  However, because of his high status from the beginning, Inaiga II will be restricted in many things. After all, he is a person wearing shoes, which is very different from Ian.

  There are three entrances and exits inside the Imperial Capital Library. The front and side are the gate and the small door for readers and staff to enter and exit respectively, and there is an underground passage at the rear, leading to the mysterious internal network of the Imperial Capital.

The black floor made of a kind of obsidian-like, but stronger and tougher volcanic rock is covered with spreading and zigzag silver-gray patterns. Ian found that this is a kind of inscription very similar to the 'maintenance inscription' in the depths of the South China Sea Great Labyrinth. It can ensure that all things within its range of effect can be preserved for as long as possible and are not easy to decay.

  The huge bookcase needs to be opened by swiping a card. Before opening, you can only search for the books you need through the transparent window and labels.

  Ian, led by Mo Feng, walked past several huge stone pillars, which are not only load-bearing pillars, but also signs to divide the book storage area, and the purple-haired ink-painting fairy came to the alchemy area humming a soft song.

   "Look, here it is."

Mo Feng obviously also knows about Ian's alchemy attainments. Of course, she thinks that Ian came here to read alchemy classics. Although it is true, what Ian wants to read most now is actually something about the imperial capital itself and history. data of.

  Alchemy can be learned whenever you want, even if you are not in the imperial capital, but the historical documents of the imperial capital can only be read in the big library!

   But Ian is not that impatient. Over the years, he has been very good at concealing his true intentions...Anyway, there is no harm in reading more books.

Therefore, he chose a copy of "The Encyclopedia of Terra Potions·Revised Edition of the Royal Alchemy Association in 762" and "On the Essence of Life and Alchemy", and sat in the reading room with the three goblin ladies to enjoy the afternoon reading time .

  Although Ian had already burned them all through the silver chip when he picked up these two books, but if he really wants to finish reading the book, he still has to slowly understand the essence of it.

   As for the fact that he burned dozens of other books together during the selection process before picking up these two books, it was just a normal operation.

Moreover, Miss Mofeng will also provide him with a list of books that she thinks are the most worth reading—in the next few months, Ian will read all the books on the list without arousing suspicion Once, and burn all the books related to it.

  Reading is a pleasant time, especially when reading something you like.

After an afternoon in the quiet room, even Frost Butterfly was reading with relish (maybe really relish) with a book of "Water System Warcraft Encyclopedia", until the staff of the library came to ask if it is necessary to go to the library to build When the restaurant offered free meals there, everyone realized that the time passed quickly.

At this time, Ian took his mind off his studies for a while, and sighed softly: "At first, I thought it was a kind of regional discrimination for people in the imperial capital to say that Nanling is a rural place...Now it seems that the countryside may be a compliment, My hometown is simply a primitive tribe."

"Just like Viscount Grant... When I returned to the territory and sorted out the relevant issues, the first thing to do was to build a library. Without these classics, it is almost impossible to train an alchemist. "

   In fact, it is impossible, because the only alchemist trained by Viscount Grant is Ian, and Ian is simply cheating, and the progress of ordinary people cannot be generalized.

  Through reading and studying this afternoon, Ian roughly grasped the overall context of Terra Alchemy.

  First of all, alchemy is not just potions—it includes potions, inscriptions, light and ink, psionic energy, material conversion, inscription structures, nature changes, blessings and curses, and even the promotion of life essence.

   In other words, in the pre-epoch period, the so-called 'sublimation skills' were actually in the category of 'alchemy-potion science-life essence promotion-self-promotion'. It's just that today's Terra Continent proposes it separately and studies it as a relatively independent discipline, which has become the current prominent science.

Giant creations such as cultivators, armor, and etheric armaments do not even belong to mechanics—because these things are actually the inscription structure of alchemy in essence, just like the etheric armaments of the Ellen family, which is a kind of Biological reproductive equipment has nothing to do with mechanics.

  The real core is the connection between the inscription and alchemy, as well as the energy furnace core.

  In other words, in a sense, alchemy is the science of Terra today—even in pre-epoch civilizations. After two epochs, even the current epoch has more than a thousand years of development time. The knowledge system contained in alchemy, the extremely complex lineage inheritance, and the vast sea-like specific details of knowledge points are simply not something that one person can fully grasp. , so now the division of labor among the alchemists is also very clear.

   This career of seeking truth encompasses everything, and it is definitely not just a craftsman who just makes a medicine and gets it done.

  Of course, the fact that refining medicine is the most profitable cannot be ignored.

   "Come here alone next time, and look at historical books and armor design drawings... If you have a chance, go to the treasure area."

  Ian is ready to come to the big library alone tomorrow, but now, he is going to go back to have dinner with the goblin ladies, and he has to hand over the shopping list of his laboratory building to Isengarde.

  However, it was just when a group of people, or Ian, was walking alone, while three goblins were flying staggered beside him, preparing to leave the Imperial Capital Library.

  Mo Feng met his acquaintance.
