The Remaining City's Ideal across the Sky Chapter 45 Cornerstone Hall
Romani, Amon, Harv and Lin Lang each came to a place where the signboard said Cornerstone Hall in Common Language. Although it was called Cornerstone Hall, it looked more like a library.
The only exit from this place shows the number of keys that have been obtained. Before collecting eight, you can only read a book or rest to pass the time...or play cards?
This so-called Cornerstone Hall might as well be called the Knowledge Hall. There are a variety of books, and each bookshelf thoughtfully contains categories.
Although he had no expectations, Romani, who arrived first, still took a stroll in the Cornerstone Hall. On the one hand, he hoped to meet someone who came here after clearing the trial tower like himself.
On the other hand, Romani hopes to find some records about the layout, structure and humanities of this city. He still knows very little about this magnificent and mysterious city.
This library is very large, storing more than a million books. Walking through the bookshelves, Romani tried to find books related to the history of the city.
He gave priority to looking for three types of books, arranged in order of priority: books about the structure and layout of the city, books about the city's humanities and history, and books about magic.
Romani did not find books about this kind of urban structure, but there were books about architecture, and he did not find books about history, but there were books about anthropology about human race.
But there are many books related to magic, too many, a total of 171 bookshelves, all related to magic.
So Romani re-arranged the priorities: books recording techniques such as using magic power to drive weapons, books on ritual spells, and books on teleportation spells.
There are all these, so Romani chose to read the first one and found the answer he wanted in a book. This may be one of the lost mage professions during the Sorcerous Kingdom of Alto, the Battle Mage.
One of the skills is called Weapon Infusion. The way magic power works in each profession is different, but it is not bad if you only learn one of the magic skills separately.
Romani was overjoyed and got what he wanted directly.
After flipping through the pages for a while, Romani suddenly remembered something. "Since the Tower of Trial and the level have been cleared, that means..."
"Crow!" He cast a spell to call out his crow familiar, letting it quack and fly freely in the library. In the hope that other visitors would know that there are still people here, he pulled out a book as soon as possible.
A book that looks relatively reliable, leaning against the bookshelf, flipping through it casually.
Not long after, Harv stepped through the portal. The inexplicable separation from his teammates did not make him overwhelmed. On the contrary, he felt more relaxed now that he could rely on his own judgment.
Harv looked around the hall carefully, and after confirming the current situation, he found a place to sit on the floor and rested temporarily.
After the break, I had nothing to say, so I stood up and decided to look for any books related to healing magic.
However, no books related to divine magic were found. It may be that people in this country do not believe in gods, but there are some professional system integrations about druids and bards - although together they are not even one percent of the mage profession.
Among the large number of druids' natural spellcasting and bard's musical spellcasting, Harv found some patterns, so he started reading with relish. After reading, he began to wipe his weapons.
The book picked up by Amon, who was the third to arrive, told about a plane called the Land of Lookout, and the contents inside were bizarre.
After reading the book in his hand, Amon was impressed by the strangeness of the collection of books here, and suddenly became curious and wanted to find out if there were any books related to the use of weapons.
Amon originally planned to leave, but one of the books next to the place he put back recorded the events of the Shadow Realm of Eternity. After all, this bookshelf was all related to plane knowledge.
Obviously, Amon was more curious about things in the Eternal Shadow Realm, so he stepped forward and opened the book to take a closer look.
It really records the experience of many mages entering the realm of eternal shadow, but it is difficult to trace the origin, and it is not even as clear as Amon on some matters that need attention.
However, there are also mages who have successfully extracted the more negative-energy magic power of the Eternal Shadow Realm and utilized it. This is very worth learning.
After Lin Lang finally stepped into the teleportation array, he found that Sophia was not by his side, so he began to explore the place cautiously.
After exploring, he did not find Sophia, but the monk noticed that it was a huge library and there was no danger here. With nothing to do, he started looking for books related to Qi and started reading.
One of them lists the professions of various fighters, such as those who are good at boxing, those who use Qi to control the power of the fire element, those who use Qi to control the power of the dark element, those who use wine to absorb Qi, those who use Qi to nourish weapons, and those who use Qi to understand life.
, those who use Qi to understand death also include Lin Lang, who uses Qi to condense the soul body.
Lin Lang, who was quickly fascinated, didn't realize that the qi in his body was moving autonomously and getting stronger.
After quite a while, the crows filled the Cornerstone Hall.
A scream came from a distance, and Harv was still taking care of his weapons. He knew what the sound meant, but he still had to finish what he was doing before making plans. After a while,
Harv just stood up and planned to go to the direction of the sound to find out.
Hearing the crow of the crow, Amon, who had been looking at the book with a silly smile just now, closed the book with a strong hand and looked up at the sound: "Hey, it seems that someone else is here." After that, he said
Walk towards the direction of the sound.
Lin Lang was a little absent-minded, but he still rushed over and tried to join the others.
The three of them didn't have time to realize the changes in themselves, so they heard the news and rushed to check the situation. Among the four, only Romani and Amon knew each other.
I thought the chandelier that was always bright dimmed at this time, probably because it was also dark outside at this time. Although there are still more than six days before the crash, it still makes people sweat.
The doorway, which was still glowing faintly, showed that there was only one key left, because the seven rectangles with gaps of different sizes could exactly complement each other, leaving only the middle rhombus unfilled.
"Hey, it seems that there is only one left." Amon nodded while looking at the display on the door. "The efficiency is pretty good.
"Amon!" Romani shouted. Although there was a small misunderstanding before, they have already been solved and they can be regarded as companions.
"Hey, long time no see, how are you doing there?" Seeing an acquaintance, Amon also stepped forward to say hello.
"Boss Esther is still very powerful. He almost did it all by himself. Well... hello, my name is Romani, from the Explorers Association." Romani looked at Harv and Lin Lang up and down, looking at their
The attire is probably that of a fighter and...a paladin?
"Hey, we are in trouble here." Amon pretended to sigh. "But it's okay, the second half went smoothly. Hi, hello."
Harv nodded slightly and said to the two of them: "A knight belonging to the Holy Glory Church, number 37.5... You can also call me Harv."
Romani sighed: "Thirty-seven point five is actually not an integer. It's such a magical number."
"A lot of things happened." Harv responded politely, but obviously he didn't intend to elaborate on the reasons.
"Has any of you seen Sophia?" Lin Lang asked.
"Who is Sophia? I think it's very important. During the process of conquering the trial tower, did you get any rare treasures?" Carlin never told Romani.
Harv shook his head. Strictly speaking, he didn't gain much.
But Amon just forgot. "Well, I think the person you are talking about is not here? It seems that the partners who entered the tower together are not on the same side. Maybe they are on the functional layer?"
"Well, on the functional level, Boss Esther should be on the functional level now," Romani said.
"Oh, I got a spear, but I can't seem to use it." Amon said as he took out the war spear from his dimensional bag.
"I can't use the spear. Harv is a paladin, right? He should be very comfortable with the spear?" Romani didn't know that this was a weapon passed down from the original battle mage.
Harv took a look and shook his head: "Based on my combat training habits, it's not very suitable."
After that, Romani showed some things from his dimensional bag: "These are what Esther put here for me temporarily. See if there are any that can be used, and remember to change them back after use, otherwise I will probably be
The boss should scold me to death."
Lin Lang also shook his head. "The only thing Sophia and I gained from that tower was a sacred symbol with divine power, but it had been completely absorbed by Sophia."
"Even if you want to use it, you probably won't be able to use it. I feel like this thing should be used by mages." Amon used the identification technique and looked at Harv before shaking his head. "Romani, just take it. I don't know what to do next."
It comes in handy sometimes.”
"Thank you." Romani temporarily accepted the spear, feeling a lot of pressure. After all, he couldn't use the spear at all. "But having said that, after clearing 7 trial towers... there are only four here.
Personally, where are the three other people? Should they be somewhere else in the hall?"
"Who knows, maybe he's too shy to come over?" Amon joked casually.
"Crow Crow, why don't we look for it again?" Romani ordered his familiar to continue exploring the Cornerstone Hall to look for the three challengers who should still be there and have passed the trial tower.
Demon pets were flying inside the building, and people were waiting on the floor, but no one else was teleported in, and it was still dark.
"What's the situation? We still need a key, and there are fewer people coming to the Cornerstone Hall than expected. I feel like we can't wait like this." After speaking, Romani turned on the permanent lighting function of the ghost lantern, at least after losing the
You won't be blinded when illuminated by a chandelier.
He tried to ask the same question into the air as he did inside the trial tower, hoping to get a response. "Can the door of the hall be opened only when all eight keys are collected?"
However, there was no voice in the Cornerstone Hall replying to Romani, but that was probably it.
He felt uneasy that there were only six days left for the arcane core to be overloaded. The anxiety that he could no longer sit still and wait for death forced him to walk back and forth in the Cornerstone Hall, observing every bookshelf and crevice. He even turned on the detection magic in the hope of being able to escape in this huge building.
What mechanism was found in the library?
Unfortunately, they didn't find anything hidden. Amon and Harv continued to read out of boredom, while Lin Lang meditated on the spot.
After searching to no avail, Romani sat back to his original place, took out the ruby powder and began to make a simulacrum without saying a word. Soon after the hall lit up again, the key was finally collected, but at this time Romani was still giving it seriously.
The simulacrum imbues him with magic power. It is the critical moment and others who have already rested should not disturb him.
