It took 8 hours for the magic hourglass to turn from green to blue. The content of this morning's "work" was boring. Although Li Yue learned a lot of knowledge about the nobility of Kaios continent through the "Road of Nobles in Kaili 259", and then in
Participated in a "Journey to the Burning Valley" in the imaginary world...
Even the next book has been prepared by Minnie, called "Desler, the Town of Death"...
But while he was translating, Li Yue couldn't help but be wary of the old scholar. His spirit was tense, and he soon became dizzy and weak. He didn't know if it was related to the old scholar's evil "ritual". p>
If it weren't for the body-washing effect of the ultimate magic stone, Li Yue even felt that he wouldn't be able to last for eight hours.
What was even more terrifying was that while working in the morning, Li Yue saw with his own eyes the brain spirit at the table next to him howled miserably, then exploded and died, like a loud fart in the air...
In this regard, Minnie Minnie's explanation is that the unlucky Brain Spirit translated the "forbidden book" and was killed by the curse in the book - no one collected the body of the Brain Spirit, and Mini Mini just killed the Brain Spirit.
I took the book and piled it up next to him, and then sent it to the forbidden book area on the upper floor during lunch break...
And this further strengthened Li Yue's determination not only to pretend to be a monster to survive, but also to change the current environment - even the books in the library are deadly, plus the "people" who have been stealing the life span of the brain?
How do you spend your days?
Li Yue decided to get rid of the old scholars and turn "survival" into "life" step by step.
After imagining countless scenarios in my mind and polishing the plan over and over again, lunch break time finally arrived.
The slave scholars lined up in a long line, received pieces of hard meat one by one from a large iron pot that floated over, and then lined up to go back to the sixth library, their dormitory, to solve some physical problems.
"Are we going to eat?" Minnie and Minnie stood side by side with round heads.
"Go ahead, you worked hard this morning." Li Yue conveyed his condolences without forgetting to praise them, and found the secret to getting along well with Minnie.
"Want to bring you some?" Minnie and Minnie turned around halfway, like two little sweet potatoes.
"No need." Go quickly, I'm about to take action - deep down, Li Yue thought.
"Okay!" Minnie and Minnie nodded together, but at the same time, they crossed their index and middle fingers behind their backs to deceive the devil.
Seeing Minnie Minnie take the piece of meat and sit down among the group of companions to enjoy the meal, Li Yue followed the example of other brain spirits and fell to the ground to pretend to rest, but the moment he lowered the table, he raised his head and turned back, transforming into a slave.
Scholar, a slave scholar who had already received the food and left the hall.
The other brain spirits were resting, and no thoughts were focused on Li Yue, nor did they notice that the brain spirit had turned into a human being; the book demon turned the magic hourglass beside him, turning from green to blue in an instant and closed the page, the spine of the book was stable.
Stand firmly on the ground and fall asleep.
Li Yue first checked the ritual carvings on the desk and found that there was no relevant content in his memory, so he did not destroy it, turned around, and walked to the team of slave scholars.
[Go back and take a nap...don't die...go back and take a nap...don't die...]
The slave scholar in front of Li Yue is young, but has deep dark circles under his eyes. He may have been in Demon King City for a while and is adapting to this kind of life.
Li Yue also imitated their numb gait, occasionally waving his right hand, pretending to be relieving the fatigue caused by copying and recording in the morning - this is what the person he was pretending to do before going out. Li Yue tried hard to grasp his character.
.
When Li Yue was about to be queued, a small episode occurred - Minnie, who had not eaten enough, reached out to the slave scholar's pot and wanted to get a few extra pieces of meat, but the slave was queued there.
The scholar grabbed his hand and took a bite!
The bitten Minnie screamed, but she did not dare to attack the slave scholar; the slave scholar seemed to be attracted by the soft texture and bit her hard without letting go.
At this time, the Book Demon suddenly heard the sound of turning pages, and both sides immediately stopped and returned to a stable situation.
It's not so much a dispute between humans and monsters as it is an act of animal instinct - Li Yue thought this, without even raising his head, it was finally his turn.
The hard piece of meat was hard, black, and had a strange smell. Li Yue didn't know what it was made of, and of course he didn't intend to eat it. He just felt a sense of understanding and a little bit of sadness when he held it in his hand.
After receiving the piece of meat, Li Yue put on his hood, hid his face, and followed the slave scholars to the Sixth Library.
The sixth library is located at the end of the corner on the bottom floor of the library, which is completely opposite to the four library rooms where the brain spirits live.
Turning the corner, Li Yue immediately sensed a stench, and then saw several slave scholars each finding a place to start solving physical problems, without even waiting to enter the sixth library.
What's more, he seemed to have no intention of going back, and just lay down on the corridor to the sixth library, using his molars to slowly gnaw and grind the hard meat, preparing to return to the library when the rest time came.
Hall, save this journey and save energy consumption.
The old scholar who sat at the same table with Li Yue was not here, which brought a bit of relief to Li Yue - it was difficult to do anything in public, so it was best for him to have fewer people around him...
Remembering the appearance of a slave scholar lying in the corridor, Li Yue changed his face and body again the moment he opened the door of the sixth library, bypassed the huge sofa full of holes, and imitated the rules in the room.
Like everyone else, they found a shabby bed and slowly lay down.
The bed in the Sixth Library was a double-decker, and the moisture on the bed was thick and heavy, mixed with sweat and complex body odor, which brought great discomfort to Li Yue; Li Yue covered his face with a hood, and at the same time directed his thoughts towards
In the corner of the room by the window, look at the old scholar there.
After receiving the baptism of the Ultimate Magic Stone, although Li Yue has not fully absorbed it, his mental ability has been greatly enhanced - from a distance of more than ten meters, Li Yue can even feel the pulse of the old scholar
and heartbeat, as well as his Adam's apple that kept moving.
He was talking to several other slave scholars.
"The book I translated today... turned out to be the "List of Nobles in the Year 259 of Kaili"... Ah... that era full of holy light..."
"It's great...you have experienced that era...can write down a beautiful memory...oh my god...how painful it is to be driven by those brains to write..."
"Haha... being driven by brain spirits to write the history of mankind... is even more painful..." the old scholar sighed, "In that era, the Kingston family was not even the best among the nobles, but they were able to defeat demons.
Expeditionary Corps... I wonder if their family’s current bloodline can be continued... Will there be a few more brave men... to save us..."
"Can we hold on for so long...I am so grateful to be able to come into contact with your wisdom here...You are our beacon...Please guide us out of trouble...see the Holy Light again..."
"There will always come a day...as long as we survive..." The old scholar shook his head, seeming to have lost his strength, "I want to rest..."
"Understood...May the Holy Light be with you..."
"The Holy Light is with you..." After the old scholar finished speaking, the slave scholars gathered around him began to disperse.
When there were only two slave scholars left beside the old scholar, his tone suddenly changed.
"These people seem to want to learn longevity methods from us..." The second slave scholar's voice was low.
"Absolutely impossible. The remaining seals can only support three people to draw power at most. Besides, we are not only stealing the lives of monsters, these scholars are also our targets." The third scholar's tone was relatively violent and he was also burly.
Some, "If you absorb one more person, we will have one less bite to eat, unless you die and give up your position."
"Then it's better for you to die..." The second scholar thanked Bumin.
Li Yue was stunned. He didn't expect that these slave scholars... apart from not daring to take action against the Book Demon, they actually spared not a single living creature in the hall?
"When I started the ceremony today... there seemed to be something wrong with one of the brain spirits..." The old scholar's voice was softer, but it did not escape Li Yue's perception.
It was also at this time that Li Yue discovered that the two people surrounding the old scholar... were the two remaining senior scholars in the library!
Is it a small group that steals lives? Li Yue frowned. It seems that the ritual was just an accidental discovery and use by them, not their creation.
"What? Have you discovered that it is losing its life?" The second scholar smiled, "Why do these stupid, dirty things... why are they so favored by the devil and have such powerful abilities at birth..." p>
This is the first time Li Yue heard someone talk about the power of the brain spirit.
"Not only has extraordinary understanding of all documents, but also the ability to control the environment through thoughts..." There was a hint of yearning in the old scholar's tone, "This is what we dream of..."
"Yes...if we have this ability, we can decipher more demonic documents and learn more powerful demonic spells..." The second scholar was indignant, "Damn...damn..."
"How about it? Do you want to kill it tonight? Just like the forty-seven brain spirits before?" The third scholar seemed to be familiar with the road.
Li Yue's expression changed slightly, and he said to himself that fortunately he had the habit of "hate never lasts overnight", otherwise he would have been behind by the time tonight - but it was different from the plan, there were three enemies, Li Yue had to take a moment
Adjust.
"You remembered wrongly, it was forty-eight." The second scholar corrected.
"Really? Has my memory faded? Impossible! I am nourished by the devil's spell..." The third scholar was a little angry.
"I allow... do it..." The old scholar interrupted the third scholar's self-pity, "The devil's spell... is the secret of the three of us, no one is allowed to disturb..."
"Praise the devil... for creating such a powerful spell... allowing us to resist the ravages of time..." The second and third scholars chanted sincerely and murmured endlessly.
"It's ridiculous... Aren't we now... slowly having our lives stolen away by time?" The old scholar listened for a moment and suddenly laughed.
"So... when are we leaving?" The second scholar's tone revealed a strong desire, "When is the next opportunity to escape? How are we prepared?"
The old scholar pondered for a moment without revealing a single word, but his pupils trembled slightly as he murmured wildly: "Run away! Escape from this place and live in seclusion among humans... That is our destination..."
Li Yue was inexplicably moved after hearing this, but he was a little anxious - if the old scholar didn't act as he suspected, the plan to clean up the lunch break might be ruined.
[Go to the toilet... and let go...]
Finally, what Li Yue wanted to hear most emerged from the heart of the old scholar. Li Yue stood up first and slowly walked to the toilet in the sixth library.
