Demon King, Don’t Run Away Chapter 123: Get straight to the point

In the cake shop, four people and a slime were sitting around a four-corner table.

Ias and Bai Jin sat on both sides of Yang Yu, and He Meng lay softly on Bai Jin's lap. The two girls looked curiously at the cake shop, their eyes constantly scanning the beautiful cakes in the cupboard, the rich aroma Let them feel light all over.

Taking the menu handed over by the waiter, Yang Yu glanced at it.

The cakes on the menu are all cakes that I have never heard of, and the prices are ridiculously expensive. There are many cakes that cost more than one thousand.

After browsing around, Yang Yu made up his mind, "Four parfaits, and three cakes like this."

Beautiful waitress. Smiling sweetly, "Please wait a moment."

Yang Yu also didn’t expect that he could also eat parfait in this world. But if you think about it carefully, there are many ice spells in this world, making ice is not too difficult, and having parfait is not a surprise.

A few minutes later.

The waiter brought the desserts to Yang Yu's table, one parfait for each person, and the cakes were given to Bai Jin, Ias and Shu Jing.

Ias held a spoon and looked at the pointed parfait. She had never thought that humans would use ice as food. After taking a curious bite, her whole body almost melted.

Bai Jin took a spoon and distributed a lot of parfait to Hemeng. Hemeng squirmed her sticky body and swallowed the parfait. Four-leaf clover is good, but occasionally eating something other than four-leaf clover is also good. .

Swallowing, Shu Jing, who was sitting face to face with Yang Yu, put his hands on his thighs cautiously, feeling at a loss and panicking inside, as if he shouldn't be here.

I was brought here by them accidentally! Judging from their attire, they should be adventurers, not at all like the candidates who came to take the exam this year.

Obviously I just returned the book and borrowed another book, why did it become like this...

Can I really eat these things in front of me?

This might be a trap. Mom said that adventurers are very cunning. If they just want to have their cake and eat it here and force me here and make me pay the bill, I can't afford it.

Taking a few mouthfuls of parfait with a spoon, Yang Yu looked at Shu Jing, who had been sitting cautiously across from him, "Don't worry, I won't ask you to pay the bill, just eat it."

Hearing this, Shu Jing shrank up and said tremblingly: "If you have anything to ask, just ask quickly. I'm in a hurry and go back to study and prepare for the exam..."

The further he talked, the softer Shu Jing's voice became, until it was silent.

"I have a lot of questions, which will take you a lot of time. The parfait and cake in front of you are just a gift. As long as you are willing to answer my questions, I will also pay you a certain amount of compensation."

As he spoke, Yang Yu took out a gold coin with a face value of 1,000 from his bag and pushed it towards Shu Jing.

“I don’t know, are these enough?”

"This, that..." Shujing was at a loss and quickly refused, "If you have any questions, just ask me directly. You don't need to pay me anything. Besides, I'll give you so much... ”

"You're welcome." A smile appeared on Yang Yu's face, "You look so smart, you must know what I want to know. As you can see, my companion and I are visiting the Library of All Things for the first time today. , I know very little about the situation here, and the only one I can ask for now is you."

When you encounter people in difficulty, you should lend a helping hand in a timely manner.

As her mother's words rang in her ears, Shu Jing plucked up the courage, slowly let go of her restrained hands, picked up the spoon, and took a bite of the sweet and silky parfait.

"I accept your kindness. As a reward, these desserts are enough. If you have anything to ask, just ask and I will do my best to answer you."

Seeing that Shujing was willing to let go, Yang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

If Plan A doesn't work, he has to consider Plan B.

If soft is not enough, try something hard.

For example, find a deserted alley, force Shu Jing into a corner, torture him... and pay for consultation.

Yang Yu believes that Shu Jing will be happy to answer his questions when the time comes.

The only drawback is that if you do that, you will probably be regarded as a street gangster who is trying to gain experience, although in the end you will just have no idea who is giving you experience.

"Then I'll get straight to the point." Yang Yu raised his voice, "First of all, tell me, what happened in the Library of All Things to make it so feasting? There is no library at all around it. I'm sorry for this. So looking forward to it.”

Shu Jing was a little surprised, "Don't you know... I thought this was something everyone knew."

"I think the majority of people in this world still don't know. If there weren't something that needed to be checked, we wouldn't have come all the way here."

Continuing to act emotionally and rationally, Yang Yu pretended to be helpless when he came here.

Shu Jing also kept to himself and told Yang Yu and the others the development history of the library without reservation.

The age when the Library of All Things was established cannot be traced. It was established to protect the knowledge passed down by mankind.

In order to protect mankind's precious knowledge, a large number of magicians organized themselves and joined the library, becoming the earliest guardians of the library.

The original Wanwu Library was no different from other ordinary libraries, except that it had more books. As long as it cost a small amount of money to apply for a borrowing card, anyone could borrow books from the Wanwu Library.

That can be said to be a golden age, or a dark age.

The human civil war broke out.

In order to master the terrain information and magic technology level of the enemy country, high-level officials from various countries flocked to the Library of All Things like crazy.

Although they are called "crazy", their methods are actually very sophisticated. They take advantage of the librarian's inattention to destroy and tamper with the information that generations of people have worked hard to compile, just to make sure their opponents can't get their hands on them. Any information from the country cannot be obtained from any technology of one’s own country.

Ironically, they hope to obtain their opponents' intelligence and technology from the library.

At that time, there were countless forces that offered olive branches to the Library of All Things.

If they don't comply, they will definitely find ways to destroy the library.

If you can't get it, it's best to destroy it so that others can't get it.

The situation was extremely critical, and the library's top brass did not choose to sit still and wait for death. They took a series of measures, including but not limited to temporarily closing the library, supporting and helping the moderate monarch, and cracking down on the army of unruly "readers". With the power of thunder, it proves that the Library of All Things is not a soft persimmon, and cannot be bullied by just anyone.

In the end, various countries signed a series of treaties with the Library of All Things. The most important one was that no matter what the human war, the Library could never be implicated again.

The Library of All Things has never denied that it used some extremely dark means to finally ensure today's neutrality.

In order to adhere to neutrality, they don't mind using some extremely dark methods.

This makes all human countries dare not take action against the Library of All Things casually.

However, the problems of the Library of All Things have just begun. After the war, the first issue is to rebuild...
