Chapter 105 Ascaran Public Library
After walking out of the hall of the Askaran Magic Council, Heras once again clearly felt the difference in the city. He climbed up to the spire of the Magic Council and took a general look at the city. It was different from the one in Aita City.
Different from the fact that the central roof is covered with blue-purple wooden tiles, every building in Askaran City has a roof structure like a crescent spiers. The crescent spiers built with refractive marble on the building complex shine under the reflection of the sun.
, making the whole city look more magical and civilized.
The edge of the city in the distance is not a fence-like thorn wall made of intertwined giant trees, but a thick arcane stone wall with dense magic lines! Obviously this kind of city wall was built by mages.
The city of Askaran is still full of verdant woods and fragrant flowers, but they are all distributed among the city buildings as decorations, rather than as the main materials of the buildings.
"At least the walls and furniture in this city won't grow green..." Heras cursed, and then looked north. Over the city wall, you could see the cliff across the horizon in the distance. On the cliff were dense evergreens.
Night forest, a forest connected by a river from
The cliffs poured down like waterfalls, and then gathered into a giant river valley. Along the many tributaries from the river valley, they rushed to the southernmost coast. The city of Askaran was built on an island in the middle of the lake in the center of this giant river valley.
!It is also the highest point of the nearby terrain.
"This is another wonder." Heras sighed as he looked at the waterfalls that formed a wide water curtain in the distance.
"Your Excellency Elestine has arranged a residence for you in the Great Temple of Eternal Night. I told her that you are very interested in the belief and culture of the Moon God." Glalenya walked up from the stairs of the spire and stood in Hera.
Si said from behind.
"That's it." Seeing Heras turn around, Glalenya pointed to a magnificent temple in the city that was filled with blue moonlight, even covering up the sunlight. The entire temple was made of moon fluorite carved in an elven style.
According to the legend of the ancient elves, the Moon Fluorite was formed from the tears of the King of Eternal Night who missed his hometown. However, even most of the Moon God believers doubted this legend. Because in the Anfalon plane
The moon fluorite existed before the birth of the King of Eternal Night...
Seeing that the female priest was in a low mood, Heras said a little guiltily: "I'm sorry, dear, I let you deceive your teacher..." There were only two of them on the high platform, and Heras finally could do nothing.
Speak freely without any inhibitions.
"How many people have you asked me to deceive?" The female pastor smiled faintly after hearing this, and then said seriously: "I believe you, dear, maybe I will pay the price for this one day, but now I am willing to believe it!"
Her lover's trust made Heras's heart heavy. Glalenya was not dazzled by love. Especially after experiencing Gulina's betrayal, she even considered that Heras might betray her one day.
, and she was not shy about speaking out her thoughts, but she was still willing to devote herself wholeheartedly and was ready to endure betrayal. This all-or-nothing trust put a lot of pressure on Heras.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit depressing, Glalenya smiled and asked softly: "Why are you so stressed?"
"Maybe it's because I don't have the strength to be as arrogant as I want." Heras couldn't help laughing, then he put away his smile and said solemnly: "I will never betray you, my dear."
"I believe it." The female pastor thought for a moment and then added: "But for humans, what counts as betrayal? If you have other lovers, does this count?"
"Of course." Heras said without thinking. He is a federal man and has a deep-rooted concept of monogamy.
"Then you will definitely betray me, my dear." Glalenya laughed after hearing this: "Even if your heart can't, your body can."
Before Heras could open his mouth to argue, the female priest waved her hand to stop him.
"Don't think that I don't know the customs of your human bloodline families, especially when you activate the 'Resurrection Body'." Glalenya said with a half-smile: "How will you deal with it then?
"
"Cut that thing off." This was the oath he swore to his wife when he was in the Federation, and Heras answered subconsciously.
"Then it will grow another one. What's the point?" Glalenya pursed her lips, shook her head and joked.
"You have had a wife, dear, I can feel the reflection of someone else in the way you look at me." The female pastor thought for a while and said in an ethereal tone: "And what you did to me
Those things completely subverted my imagination and almost broke my heart. This is definitely not something an inexperienced man can do."
"She is not in this world, I mean, my former wife." Heras said truthfully, and he did not deny that he still missed his wife from the Federation.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know she had..." Glalenya showed a sense of sadness and guilt. She regretted bringing up this topic.
"It doesn't matter, she didn't die, she just wasn't in this world." Heras said easily. The Federation would definitely give his family generous pensions, and their lives would be better than when he was alive. This is what Heras wants most.
What can be comforted is that at least his sacrifice can bring better living conditions to his family.
"I understand..." Glalenya misunderstood. She thought Heras was just unwilling to accept the fact that his wife had died.
After calming down her mood, the female priest stopped talking about this topic. After comforting Heras for a while with gentle comforting eyes, she turned and walked towards the high spire of the council.
"Everything about me already belongs to you, my dear. But you didn't belong to me only from the beginning, right? I know that you still love your previous wife." Glenlenya's gentle voice came from the bottom of the steps.
Came: "If this was betrayal, you would have betrayed me long ago."
Heras sighed and looked back at the magnificent waterfall in the distance. The spectacle that had amazed him just now seemed boring now. What would he do if he was caught by those perverted women from the Salamus family?
At home?
Especially the Duchess of Salamus. She may not be the strongest in the entire Salamus family, but her desire for descendants is definitely one of the best. Others may not know that Heras is the leader of Salamus.
People with blood from the Si family knew this very well. The Grand Duchess had never given birth to normal offspring. Executing those deformed children with her own hands made her almost lose control of her emotions in the extreme anger, unwillingness and grief, and she even killed her because of this.
Several former partners......
"Let's get the ancient promotion circle first." Heras shook his head to get rid of the worry, then walked down the steps and walked to the densest area of the woods in the city. The buildings and buildings in that area were
It is similar to Aita City, with a style that uses plants as the main building materials. At first glance, it is the location of the institution set up by the druids, and the public library is over there.
Usuliga's wife was already waiting for him in front of the forest in the city. Seeing Heras coming, the elf female druid greeted her politely and said with a smile: "I have helped you to ask Druid
The Elder Council submitted the application and it was approved. Except for some Druid spell knowledge, now you can check out any information in the library."
"Excuse me for bothering you." Heras thanked him with a smile, and followed Usuliga's wife to the forest in the city of Askaran.
As soon as he stepped into the forest in the city, he felt as if he had returned to the Evernight Forest. The tree crown here was also opaque, and the branches and leaves were also lingering with bits of moonlight. However, if you look closely, you can find some obvious artificial traces.
"This forest was planted by the Druids, and the moonlight was directed by the priests of the moon god." Ussuriga's wife explained upon seeing this.
After bypassing several shade trees along the forest road, several giant trees that were much thicker than the town of Oren appeared in front of them, but only wooden piles were left, but there were still dense trees around the wooden piles.
of branches and leaves.
"It took us a lot of effort to save these ancient trees, and later we simply moved the Druid Elders' House in Askaran here." Ussuriga's wife pointed to the houses scattered on wooden piles.
said.
On the largest wooden pile in the middle was a large group of wooden houses intertwined with live wood and rattan. On the edge of a wooden platform square, there were several stairs spiraling down around the wooden pile. They walked up one of the stairs.
As soon as I stepped onto the square platform, I saw the tall and bright log hall opposite the square. There were flowers on the branches and leaves emerging from the outer wall of the hall. There were two ancient knowledge trees guarding the entrance of the hall...
..
The ancient trees of knowledge are those that are better at blood instinct spells among the ancient trees of war. Their bodies and branches are much more slender and fragile than the ancient trees of war, but their roots and leaves are denser.
Seeing Heras coming, one of the ancient trees of knowledge said with a rustling sound like a strong wind blowing fallen leaves: "Amarr... your application has been approved. Except for the druid's exclusive magic knowledge, other
You can check out all the books, just pay now."
"Payment? Uh...how much..." Herath scratched his chin in embarrassment after hearing this. He thought he could just browse through it after the application was approved.
"Five hundred gold coins! It's not expensive, Amarans, knowledge is valuable." Another ancient tree of knowledge said casually while combing its dense branches, leaves and whiskers: "In the next month,
You can come and go from the library as you please."
For a well-maintained library, five hundred gold coins a month is indeed a good deal. The problem is that Heras only needs to look at it for one day. These elves are obviously not business material, and the pricing is also decided roughly.
Down the line, I don’t even know how to detail various service items.
