The Central Library........ Sulman looked at the hall-like building in front of him, and in the night, he saw the guard at the door.
This is the temple of knowledge controlled by the ancient nobles. Although it is open to the public, it requires a certain social status to enter the library. Therefore, guards on night watch are arranged.
As Sulman, coupled with the friendship with the ancient nobles, it is easy to get in, but the problem is that his status is too ‘high-end’, which brings some trouble instead.
Even if the ancient nobles paid attention to his privacy, they would not monitor Sulman.
The problem is that the library itself is an open building, and during the day there is a mixture of fish and dragons. God knows, will the ghosts who pray for life be in the library? Take the opportunity to monitor Sulman?
After all, the original belief of this civilized city-state was a prayer meeting, and it is normal for some fish to slip through the net.
In fact, Sulman’s original intention has no feud with the prayer meeting, but since he joined the bounty guild, everything he has done has been directed against the prayer meeting either explicitly or implicitly.
Even if he doesn't care about it, he has let the other party a lot, but the other party may not appreciate it.....It's hard to say, but he still wants to repay Ulman with resentment. In that case, Su Ulman can only do it to the end with good people, and simply send the other party on the road.
It's Sulman's code of conduct to cut grass and roots. He won't be like an idiot, waiting for the opponent to come and retaliate.
...................
Unable to enter from the main entrance, Sulman quietly used his dark vision to walk around to the side of the central library, where there is a window corresponding to the public bathroom.
After all, no matter how clean a public toilet is, it can't be made into a closed environment...unless it wants to kill the user.
These windows are set high, about seven or eight meters above the ground, which shows the height of the entire library space.
As soon as Sulman's fingers circled, the condensed shadows of the object-control line drew his body, like a flexible night cat, successfully climbing the edge of the window, the next moment, he pushed away with colorful The checkered window, quietly, turned into the interior of the bathroom.
"The security is not strict enough. After all, even if there are stolen books, it is a big trouble to sell the stolen goods." Sulman commented.
It is true that knowledge is precious in this era, but books containing knowledge cannot be converted into gold coins immediately.
Some thieves have stolen books and always sell the stolen goods, but who wants to buy them? The latter paid a membership fee to the ancient aristocracy, or had sufficient social status, and could enter the library to borrow. There was no need to risk offending the ancient aristocracy.
What's more, can someone who has the ability to steal money go straight to steal gold pounds? Why is it unnecessary to do this? It is more troublesome to sell stolen goods, so the library's defense is relatively lax, and it also gives Sulman a chance to sneak in.
Sulman left the bathroom and went to the corridor outside, dim and quiet.
According to the memory of his previous life, he did not stay at the bottom, but quietly went to the upper level along the spiral staircase.
On the way, Sulman encountered several guards who were patrolling. They held their lanterns and held batons to patrol the surroundings. But helplessly, Sulman is always one step ahead of them, and his vision is larger than that of the lantern. He finds a good location every time and avoids their inspection without any risk. In this environment, Sulman Came to the upper floor of the library.
A giant bronze gate with a simple appearance stood in front of him.
This is the upper floor of the library, like the auditorium of the ancient Roman Arena. It has a circular architectural distribution. Doors are inlaid on the wall, and behind the door is a book warehouse, which stores a large number of borrowed books.
The strange thing is that the huge bronze gate in front of Sulman is very high, at least seven or eight meters long, not like a gate for humans. Under normal circumstances, if a borrower wants to open the door, he has to call the two guards and ask them to push open the giant bronze door.
"This is a door left over from ancient times. It comes from the second era ruled by giants..." Sulman looked at the bronze giant door, and related information naturally appeared in his mind. .
At the beginning of the establishment of the Central Library, that is, when the three nobles were established, they, as collateral members of the Sith nobles, also inherited certain customs.
For example, books that record historical knowledge must be stored behind the'Giant's Gate'. This is a tradition imprinted in the blood.
These giant bronze gates are in fact the products of the ancient giant city-states. After all, the Steel Code City existed very early. From the information provided by Ms. Black Butterfly, it is not difficult to conclude that this city-state was in the first place. In the second era, the Silver Age already existed. Then, when the ancient aristocracy overthrew the rule of the prayer meeting, it was not uncommon to find a few ‘gates of giants’ from the city-state ruins.
"According to the information on the forum, it should be this door........."
Sulman did not rush to act. He first listened for a while, relying on his perception attributes, and determined that the other guards were far away, even if there was a small movement, he would not disturb the opponent in a short time.
The so-called perception attribute, which is the same as the lucky attribute, cannot be added, but its value depends on the weighted influence of the four attributes (strength, agility, physique, and mystery).
To put it simply, no matter what attributes you upgrade, your perception will be increased. The difference is that some attributes have a greater impact, such as mysterious attributes, which have a far greater impact on perception than strength, agility and other attributes. It just so happens that "Night Knight" is a career path that emphasizes mystery. Sulman's mysterious attribute is as high as 17 points, so his perception also has 8 points, which is close to the ordinary person's limit of 9 points.
At least 10 attribute points, this is the attribute field that the extraordinary can only step into.
In this case, Sulman’s listening effect is very good, unless the other party has the ability to conceal. Obviously, that group of ordinary guards do not have this ability, and their movements cannot be hidden from Sulman. Be in control.
"It's time to act..."
Sulman took a deep breath, and reached out to support the bronze giant gate. The next moment, he straightened his back, and his strength followed his arms to the bronze gate. Kaka Kaka, as blue veins appeared on his white skin, the heavy door was slowly pushed open, making a slight and imperceptible creaking sound, which spread far in the quiet corridor, but it was not clear enough to be impossible. Alarmed the guards below.
Crack!
When Sulman stopped exerting his force, a burst of smoke filled the bronze door with a gap for only one person.
Seeing this, Sulman got in sideways, but considering the difficulty of sliding the door in the opposite direction and the fact that the guards rarely go up to the top floor, even if they come up, it is difficult to find gaps in the door in the dim environment, so Su Herman did not close the door smoothly.
Behind the bronze gate, rows of towering bookshelves are neatly lined up, filled with all kinds of books. If you don’t know people, you want to be in the library without relying on the "Book Catalog". Finding a target is as difficult as finding an ancient shipwreck in the ashes.
Sulman thought about it for a while, and relied on his ‘dark vision’ to make a careful search.
He used the letter numbers on the wooden shelf and found it smoothly.
"The Mind's Biography, "The Heroes of Algas"........." Sulman recited the famous taboo silently, and soon his eyes were placed on the bookshelf, near the right side, Hidden among the many books, a book with a brown cover of animal skin attracted.
According to the description on the forum, there is no physical picture, but the players searched from the scholar’s diary to find the appearance description of "The Heroes of Algas" and the corresponding bookshelf location. From the situation, it should be It's this one.
Sulman reached out from the shelf and gently pulled out the animal skin book.
The cover is covered with dust, accompanied by Sulman's wiping, revealing a brownish book cover with a sun wheel pattern surrounded by rocks. In ancient times, this was a symbol of giants. It was darker than black. The Secret Code of Yuan is a bit less mysterious, but it has more historical flavor.
In the center of the rock wheel, the four characters ‘Algas’ are depicted on it.
Turning on the first page, Sulman saw the description above——
"This is a bardic biography that records the famous characters in'Algas', with them as the background. When you open the preface, it means that you will step into this place, full of wonder and fantasy. Adventure......"
"This is the silver age where giants and ancient dragons are fighting against each other, and ancient species rule the world, and everything is surrendered to them."
"When I write this preface, I hope someone can get a glimpse of history and..."
"Hehe, remember my words firmly."
Sulman flipped through the book quickly, and soon, the content of the book appeared before his eyes. In general, the story's perspective was unfolded from a half-giant called'Elmon', who was a hybrid of giants and humans. kind.
Although there is a giant bloodline in the body, the other half is derived from human bloodline, which makes him despised, because in the Silver Age, human status is very low. Even compared to the half-orcs of mixed blood, they are also discriminated against and bullied by the former because of their inherently weak bodies. In the Silver Age, humans were the bottom of the biological pyramid, only better than the beasts without intelligence.
It is worth mentioning that half-orcs are high-level transcendent beings, a race of descendants formed by mixing with humans. Because they have broken through the normal reproductive isolation, their ability to reproduce is very low. They need to find half-orcs with similar blood to be difficult. Heirs are born.
Due to the special way of reproduction, they often disappear after two or three generations. Today, in the human society of the gray iron age, it is difficult to find their traces. Perhaps, only the southernmost Panjie tree domain. There will be the whereabouts of the orcs.
My thoughts returned, and Sulman continued to read. This half-blooded half-giant named'Edmond' was born in the sanctuary of the Kingdom of the Giants·[Algas] city-state, but due to his body Mixed race, he is not allowed to live there.
So Edmund, who was expelled from the city by the pure-blood giants, walked north along the dark forest full of gray mist and iron thorns, and came to the northern end of the world of Eternal Night, which was the northern part of the Second Age. Cold soil.
The cold northern soil at that time was not as cold as it is now. The bitter ice wall that stood for ten thousand years still resisted the wind and snow. Only the quiet cold wave at the end of the year would bring a short period of severe cold, and the second The second'Lonely Moon Night'.
In normal days, ordinary people can enjoy the scorching heat of summer even in the cold northern city-states. There are four seasons in the year, instead of just a long winter.
Edmond traveled a long distance, and finally, he came to a civilized city [Lanya] established by a mixed race. This is a civilized city loyal to the kingdom of giants, but with its own rule. There are also Some mixed-race nobles, such as Sith...
On the first day Edmund arrived in [Lanya], he got acquainted with Cardan, a half-orc from the caravan. Later, they were involved in the whirlpool of [Lanya] nobles. Courage and wisdom have resolved many disasters.
During this period, Edmund also got to know the beautiful and charming lady Lina, and the two had a mutual affection. However, in the subsequent adventures, the annoyed [Lanya] noble hired a powerful assassin. As a result, Ai Demon was assassinated and killed.
The protagonist is dead...
Sulman sees this, and there is no fluctuation in his heart, because the name "The Heroes of Algarth" explains the content of the book, and the scholar in the previous life used it as a "character narrative" in the diary of the scholar. It's extremely chaotic, but the plot logic is smooth, forming a weird storyline.' For this, Sulman was also prepared.
So, he continued to read.
After Edmund's death, the content of the novel was changed to the perspective of an assassin. The assassin relied on his merits to advance all the way up and climb, and he hoped to get a ‘special training’ noble secret method. It turned out to be counterproductive. At the most critical juncture, the assassin was attacked by the orc Cardan who came to retaliate, unfortunately, and became the second dead protagonist in the book.
Finally, the content of the book was transferred to the Orc Cardan, because his actions violated the majesty of the noble, but there was also the plea of the noble lady Lena. As a result, he was punished into the giant axe arena and needed to perform a life-and-death fight to regain his freedom.
The content of the book ends here, and there is a paragraph "to be continued" at the end.
"Next, is to open the secrets of books..."
Sulman didn't hesitate. With a stroke of his finger, he used the shadow to cut a bit of the skin, letting the blood seep out, and land on the brownish-yellow page of the book in front of him.
In the next second, these blood is alive, spontaneously derived, and outlines the text content far greater than the blood volume——
"Originally, the enemy that the Orc Cardan will face will be a hybrid with the blood of a giant. The opponent is so powerful that he can smash Cardan's head with an axe. He is stronger than Edmund , It’s even harder to deal with!"
"It is foreseeable that Cardan will not end well."
"But the noble lady Lena couldn't bear to see the ending. In fact, after Edmund's death, her feelings had been transferred to Cardan, especially when Cardan went to die to avenge Edmond. The posture is deeply imprinted in her heart."
"So, Miss Noble Lena came up with a wonderful plan."
"As long as the opponent is replaced with a weak one, then Cardan will survive!"
"Oh, my God, this is such a clever trick!!!"
The blood outlined on the book, after a slight pause, seems to be experiencing something, the next moment, it regaining information, extremely fast, outlines a large paragraph of text——
"The noble lady Lena cleared the relationship and asked the jailers to secretly replace the cell of the duel target with another object, um, a very weak human being, a pure-blooded human!"
"God, in the city-state ruled by mixed races, there is still a pure-blood human being found. However, the status of pure-blood humans is low, which seems reasonable~IndoMTL.com~ also accords with Miss Noble Lina. Goal."
"The most important thing is..."
"Kadan can survive!!!"
Along with the extremely excited text description, Wow, an inexplicable suction force came. The next moment, Sulman felt the change of the surrounding environment, suddenly became extremely noisy, extremely lively, and the air was also glowing hot. breath!
When he raised his head again, under the extremely hot sun, like an arena of ancient Rome, he slowly came into view.
At the top of the arena, rows of races with mixed-race traces held their arms high, bursting out into shocking cheers, their eyes were excited and bloodthirsty, and they were ready to meet, the next The battle takes place in the arena.
