Chapter 85 Libraries

 The chief student of Jiuyou Academy did not realize that he had hit the mark.

The two students behind another desk not far from where she and Nicholas were seated were indeed feeling uncomfortable right now.

However, they do not have any objections to publicly funded students helping students with their homework.

In fact, a student behind another desk has not noticed the two classmates who are secretly tutoring their homework. He just has a strong opinion about this library.

"I'm not lost!" Zheng Qing emphasized in a low voice, while flipping through the books in front of him, he complained: "I just looked for the book for a while...can this also trigger the alarm device?"

"Didn't you look for books for a while?" Opposite him, Xiao Xiao took out his timer, tapped the number on it, and mocked: "You have been disappearing in the bookshelf corridor for two hours. For the first time entering

If a new student in the library disappears for more than an hour and a half, an emergency alarm will be triggered. It is estimated that there have been a lot of new students lost in the library these days, so the administrator took half an hour late to find you."

Zheng Qing breathed out angrily without making a sound.

Indeed, if the library administrator hadn't come to pick him up just now, he might still be leaning against the cold bookshelf in a daze.

After more than ten days at school, this was his first time entering the library.

There is a saying circulating in First University:

"If the statues of the gods and their holy words are the faith of Atlas Academy; then the noble bloodline and outstanding talents are the faith of Alpha Castle, and the iron and blood are the faith of Starry Sky Academy; only Jiu has a school,

The library is the church here, and books and exams are Jiuyou’s beliefs.”

For a student of Jiuyou College, if he does not go to Jiuyou's library once after enrolling, he is like a devout believer who has never visited a holy place in his life. This is a lifelong regret.

Although he heard many warnings and rumors before entering the library, it was only after entering the library that Zheng Qing truly realized how big the library was and how rich the collection of books was.

The rolling hills and mountains make people look at it with awe and fascination.

This terminology is not an exaggeration at all.

As the oldest college of the First University, Jiuyou University has a lot to be proud of.

Among them, the one most envied by students from other colleges is Shushan Hall.

Shushankan is the library of Jiuyou College, but its collection is comparable to that of the First University Library.

So much so that there has been a saying in the wizarding world that "there are ten volumes of books in the world, eight volumes are in the First University, and five volumes are exclusive to Jiuyu".

In the eyes of the proud Nine People, this kind of rhetoric is not an exaggeration.

Shushan Hall is located between the middle courtyard and the backyard of the school.

Not far from the front of the library is the quiet Linzhong Lake. Sitting behind the desk near the window of the library, you can take a panoramic view of the vast Linzhong Lake, and even the white seven-story small tower on the island in the middle of the lake.

The golden bell hanging on it can sometimes be seen through reflected sunlight.

The entire library building is in the shape of a mountain, running east to west.

The entrance is in the lobby on the first floor of the building, with three doors at the front and back, one main and two opposite, making it easier for students from Jiuyou College to come and go.

There is a bronze sculpture at the north main entrance, which is said to have been presented by the Grand Wizards' Conference of the Wizards' Alliance.

The main body of the statue is an old man with a long beard, holding a wooden staff in one hand and holding a scroll in the other. Next to the old man are a pair of boys and girls with yellow hair, holding an exquisite Sinan in their hands. There is a small stele at the old man's feet.

There is a series of inscriptions engraved on it, which reads: 'Faith is your guide for swimming in the ocean of knowledge'.

At the entrance to the south main gate is a screen, which outlines a plan map of the entire library. There are tall red wooden pillars on the left and right, with a couplet hanging on them, which is the familiar saying of "The mountain of books has roads and diligence as its path, and the sea of ​​learning is boundless."

"Working hard to make a boat".

The upper and lower sentences of this couplet each have three more words than the school motto of First University, but the two words "diligence" and "hardship" more clearly reflect the educational philosophy of Jiuyou University.

Students coming out of the main building and passing by Linzhong Lake can see this couplet when they enter the library.

In the center of the hall on the first floor is a huge sand table, which shows the entire landscape of Jiuyou College. The main building, the campus hospital, the cafeteria, the Shushan Hall, and even Dongtaoyuan, Xihuayuan, Yunfangyuan, and even the island in the middle of the lake.

The small seven-story tower, the small boat docked at the pier, all the pavilions, walled corridors, and small streets can be clearly distinguished one by one.

Climb up the stairs on the left and right sides of the lobby on the first floor and enter the inner building known as the "Book Mountain".

Countless space magic has been solidified here. Standing at the entrance and looking in, the rolling bookshelves seem to have no end.

As the name suggests, the collection of books in Shushan Library is so vast that it is difficult to count.

There are not only various books used by wizards, but also many rare reading books circulated in Baiding's world.

For wizards, books are the carrier of knowledge, and knowledge has no distinction between race and sect.

Because the storage time is not consistent, the bookshelf specifications in Shushan Library are also different.

Earlier, most of the bookshelves in the back of the library were made of oak, oak, and willow, with occasional nanmu bookshelves donated by a few wealthy alumni. These bookshelves were not too high, most of them were around three meters.

, but these shelves are often decorated with gorgeous runes and exquisitely carved patterns, and occasionally you can see sculptures that have been solidified with magic.

Generally, the books stored in these bookshelves are relatively rare, and many of them are unique copies donated by alumni.

The later bookshelves are generally located farther out and made of relatively modern materials; according to the librarian who led the way, the latest batch of bookshelves even have stainless steel and plastic structures.

"These bookshelves are good," the chubby administrator pointed at the shiny bookshelves and said to the newcomers with a smile: "At least they won't get moldy or attract bugs... God knows why there are 'bookworms' in this world.

'Such a monster! I have been eaten by these little bugs my whole life, they are even worse than Sand Toki."

Zheng Qing nodded repeatedly and stared at the various books on the bookshelf. He didn't pay much attention to the administrator's explanations and warnings.

In his opinion, going in and out of the library to read books is just a simple process of picking up and reading books, and there is no danger in it.

However, he ignored that this was the wizarding world.

This library is a wizard's library.

According to the librarian's previous explanation, the great wizard who established the Shushan Library arranged these bookshelves in a Nine Palaces and Bagua formation. Anyone who is greedy for more knowledge will lose their way inside.

Walking among the winding bookshelves, if you don't pay attention, you will get lost in the vast sea of ​​books.

This is the great wizard who first established Shushan Pavilion to remind students who enter Shushan to keep a clear mind at all times.

"There is only one trick: three left and one right." Before entering the maze of bookshelves, the administrator reminded Zheng Qing again: "Don't forget...if you can't find a way out, remember not to run around and hold on tight."

Please stay where you are, we will bring you out soon."

"No problem, no problem!" Zheng Qing stuffed the book list into his pocket, waved his hands nonchalantly, and rushed into the bookshelf happily.

After passing through the boring experimental report area and the obscure astrology area, Zheng Qing soon discovered the part that interested him: the magic area.

Simple elementary spells, advanced multi-player spells, from the construction of basic spells to the concentration of complete spells, and even the ritual of summoning the devil, the taboo of lich transformation, all kinds of spells dazzled him.

.

"Put these books here openly, aren't you afraid that others will fall?" Zheng Qing glanced at the thick wooden-shell books with green flames on the top of the bookshelf, sighed, shook his head and picked up the "Three Minutes to Master One" from the bottom.

One Hundred Curses".

For the newcomer Zheng Qing, it is not very difficult to find a few favorite books, but it is very difficult to find his way back from the spiritual ocean without being addicted to this place.

Unfortunately, the first time he entered the library, he was lost in the vast ocean of knowledge.

His heart was filled with the philosophical words of the sages.

His mind was filled with the powerful magic in the book.

Following the guidance of knowledge, he walked step by step deeper into the library.

It wasn't until he was tired from walking that he realized to his horror that he could no longer see a single person in front, back, left, or right of him. All he could see were bookshelves of various heights and heights.

He is lost.
