Chapter 35 Library

Do you have any other questions?

Lyon rummaged in his pockets, a hint of impatience on his face.

Dorothy tilted her head slightly, thinking to herself: Is it because my questions were too boring that Professor Leon got impatient?

Lyon sighed.

"Go over there, let's talk over there."

Without waiting for Dorothy, he jogged away from the square and turned the corner.

Dorothy was puzzled by Leon's behavior. After hesitating for a moment, she followed him and ran towards the corner.

I just ran to the corner.

Dorothy frowned slightly.

Then she saw Leon with a small flame burning in his left hand and a wooden pipe in his right, a look of rapture on his face.

"Phew~ I haven't had a bite in ages, I'm so suffocating."

"Dorothy, don't you have a question? Go ahead and ask."

Once he recovered, Leon felt refreshed and invigorated.

The impatience on his face disappeared, and he seemed much more energetic.

Lyon looked around, a smile on his face.

"Hey, this stuff is medicinal herbs. My sister always restricts my smoking. You have to pretend you didn't see it, okay?"

Dorothy was speechless as she listened to Leon's attempts to coax the child.

She wasn't really stupid, but since Leon asked her to keep it a secret, she decided to agree.

With their past relationship with Elor, and now this little secret between them, their relationship will be much closer.

So Dorothy nodded. "Yes, I won't tell anyone."

Dorothy then took the opportunity to ask a few more questions about fire elemental magic.

Lyon patiently provided the answers.

Lyon also gave himself some other advice.

For example, the question Dorothy just asked: In the City of Apprentices, how long does it typically take for an apprentice to become a novice mage?

In fact, there are specific records of the City of Apprentices.

You can check past years' information at the library without needing credits, but you need to pay with coins to borrow books.

Furthermore, the library also contains chronicles, maps, and other materials from various ethnic groups.

It can also be bought with gold coins.

"Money, money, money, you need money everywhere."

Dorothy patted her hat with a hint of annoyance.

"Thank you, Professor Lyon. I have no more questions now."

"You're welcome. After all, you're Elor's friend, so I'm happy to help you out," Leon said with a smile.

Dorothy knew roughly where the library was, and after saying goodbye to Leon, she headed towards it.

Although she didn't have much money on her, that didn't stop her from going in to take a look.

What if there are some books that she can afford?

With this in mind, Dorothy went to the library.

The library was built in a style similar to the Magic Tower.

Dorothy was standing at the library entrance.

There were so many people.

Previously, when they were in the square, there were only their newly enrolled apprentices.

At the library, basically all the apprentices in the entire city of apprentices come here.

As she was about to enter the library, she saw a grotesquely shaped box drive past her.

"Um!"

Seeing the large black creature disappear into the distance, Dorothy quickly rubbed her eyes, thinking she was seeing things.

"That is..."

Something very familiar.

Just then, an apprentice walked past Dorothy.

The other person pushed up their glasses, their tone carrying a hint of disdain.

"That's a magic-powered battle vehicle made by the alchemy department. What? You haven't seen it before?"

"Magic chariot... I've never seen one before."

Dorothy shook her head, her expression somewhat innocent.

The other person glanced at the badge on Dorothy's chest, and his disdain deepened.

"Oh, so you're a freshman. No wonder."

The apprentice left behind this somewhat meaningful remark and turned to walk into the library.

Dorothy raised her hand and touched her cheek.

"I am indeed a country bumpkin, but it's not my fault that I lack knowledge."

She shrugged and stepped into the library.

The moment I stepped through the library doors.

Dorothy clearly felt a magical force sweeping over her.

She paused for a moment, then looked up and around.

"Is this part of the library's security measures?"

After all, libraries are indeed very important.

Then, Dorothy stopped paying attention to all of this, because she was stunned by the scene before her.

The interior of the library is like a tower that spirals infinitely upwards to the heavens.

The walls were lined with bookshelves, crammed full of all sorts of magic books.

Looking up, you can't see the end at all; you can't count how many floors this magical library has.

"Last time I just waited at the door. Elor bought the magic book for me. I never expected it to be like this inside."

Moreover, you can see apprentices wandering around on almost every floor.

There are also many service desks on the first floor.

There was usually an apprentice standing behind the service desk.

Dorothy walked over there.

They found it right next to them, with a huge blackboard hanging there.

There are all sorts of tasks available on it.

"Copying magic books, five books for one credit."

"Drawing maps, 10 maps, 1 credit."

"One credit for organizing the tattered papers for half a month."

"..."

There are various tasks available for apprentices to earn credits.

Dorothy only glanced at it twice before stopping.

After all, she'll be going out to earn gold coins in two days, so she won't have time to earn credits here.

Besides, it seems like it would be faster to exchange gold coins for credits when I get back.

The first floor has almost no books; it's mostly filled with task boards and display pictures.

Dorothy went up to the second floor.

I slowly browsed along the bookshelf.

The books on the second floor are roughly divided into two categories.

One is the chronicles of various races and nations, and the other is the various stories told by bards.

I randomly picked two books and quickly flipped through them.

Looking at the story above, Dorothy was certain.

"Isn't that all just bragging?"

The stories above are either about defeating evil dragons or possessing an epic sword with a legacy.

The two books randomly selected the founding histories of ten countries; eight of them were about defeating evil dragons, and the remaining two were about seizing power.

Dorothy lost interest after watching for only a short while.

She went straight to the third floor.

Even after reaching the third floor, nothing related to magic appeared.

This place contains information about various ethnic groups.

For example, different races, such as elves, dwarves, goblins, earth dragons, vampires, etc.

Information related to magic only begins to appear on the fourth floor.

However, it also contained various herbs and maps.

Dorothy only saw the spellbook when she climbed to the fifth floor.

The first thing that catches the eye is related to elemental magic.

Dorothy first found the section for books on fire elemental magic and saw "Introduction to Fire Elemental Magic".

She took off her apprentice badge and placed it under the spellbook.

Then a symbol representing "1" appeared on the badge.

The credits listed below "Introduction to Fire Elemental Magic" are 2.

This spellbook requires 2 credits to purchase.

"It's so dark."

"It only costs one credit to copy five magic books. These magic books on display must have been copied by apprentices."

He shook his head and turned to look at other spellbooks.

"Flame Glimmer" (2 credits)

"Warm Breath Technique" (2 credits)

"Flame Shield: 2 credits"
