Chapter 773 The search is complete, repeated defeats and repeated battles
Looking at it, Xia Duo suddenly smiled. At some point, a layer of blush crept onto Niya's cheeks, and even the tips of her ears were red.
"When did you wake up?" Xia Duo asked.
But Niya didn't answer, she was still pretending to sleep. Seeing this, Xia Duo didn't tease her anymore, but got up by himself. When he finished washing, he found that Niya had already dressed and sat down in the living room.
"I'm going to see the teacher later. You go to the library alone first and meet at the reserved conference room at noon. Belera and the others may arrive early."
Niya spoke calmly, without any shyness at all.
Xia Duo sat next to her naturally, but when the two of them were close to each other, Xia Duo could still clearly feel Niya's nervousness.
He himself was actually a little nervous, but it was not easy to see that he was thick-skinned. He still said to Niya in the same tone as usual:
"Well, I've almost finished checking the public library over there. If nothing happens in the internal library, I can finish it in the morning."
"Well."
The conversation had already started, and the two of them went out while talking as usual, and separated after breakfast in the restaurant.
…
It was approaching noon, and Xia Duo looked away from the rows of bookshelves with a slight disappointment. There were still many books here, but there were not many that he could read.
Either the price is outrageous and he cannot accept it even if he only borrows it once, or the permissions are so limited that even if he has money, he can't read it.
However, the harvest in these two days has been huge, and the few fish that slipped through the net can barely accept it.
In terms of quantity alone, the Giles Towers Public Library has the largest number, but excluding duplicate copies, there are only over a thousand different sets of books.
The internal library is much smaller. Not only are there fewer copies, but also the total number of different books. Xia Duo did a rough calculation and found that there are only more than 300 sets of different books in total.
Moreover, most of these books are not from modern times, some are as recent as more than ten years ago, some are too far away, some are from hundreds of years ago.
Obviously, unless the Tower of Giles has not collected new books in recent years, there must be a more internal library than the internal one.
According to "Little Agent" Niya, her teacher's private library is richer than this so-called internal library, but Niya can only occasionally get specific books from the princess's private library.
You can’t just watch it at will? Let alone bring other people there.
Combined with the words left by Felder in Felder's spell book? What great plan are Morien Tower and Kiran Tower jointly planning? Who knows if Giles Tower, which is also one of the Seven Towers, will have a similar plan?
The plan!
Sha Duo has read so many books? Almost none of them are directly related to plane exploration? Sha Duo has not read any of the basic information about plane scholars that Niya brought back to the Tower of Time before.
arrive.
What if there wasn't a more internal library? Xia Duo wouldn't believe it to his death.
In fact, the same is true for the Tower of Time? In addition to the public library? Niya also has a private library, which she inherited from her father.
In addition to those, there are several secret rooms that are not reflected in the construction blueprint of the Tower of Time, which contain treasures and books left by the first lord, the Grand Arcanist Xavier.
Has Xia only heard Niya mention this a lot? He has never been in there himself? He doesn’t know what the secrets are there.
…
Leaving the library, Xia Duo walked slowly to the agreed exchange meeting place while sorting out the books he had read in the past two days in his mind.
These more than a thousand sets of books seem to be a lot, but there is not much truly meaningful content? Most of them are travel notes, diaries or biographical text information.
These may increase your knowledge and broaden your horizons, but isn't this the main purpose of Sha Duo? He wants to obtain more information related to magic.
If we use specific figures to roughly estimate, then of these more than a thousand sets of books? Only less than one-tenth of the content is directly related to magic.
Must be reorganized!
Otherwise, how long will it take to transcribe these more than a thousand sets of books? Just when we need to recall them in the future? It will be very troublesome to find the magical knowledge scattered into bits and pieces.
…
Not long after, Xia Duo came to the conference room that Niya had reserved in advance. Niya hadn't arrived yet, but Belela had already arrived. I don't know how long she had been here.
"Mage Belera, long time no see!"
"Master Xia Duo, long time no see!"
In fact, the two of them had communicated not long ago, but after all, it was still a little different from face-to-face. "Master Belera, I would also like to thank you for contacting the Severton Chamber of Commerce for me last time, otherwise the more than 1,000 new citizens would have been lost."
It no longer belongs to the Great Xia Territory."
"Master Xia Duo is too polite. I just mentioned it casually. Their ship is also empty. If you can make extra money, who would refuse it!" Belera said modestly.
That's what he said, but Xia Duo knows that this is not just a matter of money. Taking more than 1,000 people on a sailing trip for nearly three months involves a lot of risks and troubles. There are many ways to make money, why use this thankless method?
What a way!
Either the offer is a price that cannot be refused, or there is power and strength that cannot be refused, or it is a favor.
No matter what, Xia Duo must accept Belera's favor.
However, in the future, when the drow war ends and trade between Netheril and Cormanthor resumes, Belera wants to expand her family's business to Cormanthor, and the Savil Lord will be the one to pull the strings. Then there will be plenty of opportunities to repay her favor.
The two soon talked about the theme of this exchange meeting, and inevitably they talked about Belera's failure as an advanced arcanist. At this time, Sha Duo realized that Belera had failed for the second time.
After repeated defeats and repeated defeats, it turns out that the rich are inhumane!
"I don't know what problems you encountered when you advanced, Belera. If it's convenient, you can tell us and let's discuss it. Let's treat it as an exchange meeting and start it in advance."
Xia Duo himself succeeded in advancing in one go. Even though he had rehearsed before, he successfully created the arcane fire during the rehearse and only needed to combine it with his will.
It was really hard for him to understand why someone could fail twice in a row. It was like a math problem, the answer was unique and certain, but even though he knew the process of solving the problem, he got it wrong twice in a row!
This is really puzzling!
…
“Nothing inconvenient!”
Belera hesitated for a moment, then told the problem, "My two failures were both caused by the loss of control of the spells during the process of creating arcane fire, and they were both when weaving the second layer of the magic web's strings.
Out of control."
After saying that, Belera took out a spell notebook from the dimensional bag and handed it to Shado, "This is the advanced spell of the Hiboden family."
Advanced spells?
Sha Duo took the note and opened it. Isn't this the [Arcane Fire Blueprint]? A spell specifically used to create [Arcane Fire], but there are obvious differences between Belera's spell and the one used by Sha Duo himself.
.
The only difference is that many places have been so-called "simplified"!
