Don't disturb the sorcerer's scientific research

Chapter 126 The first "library" installation in history

"You are looking for Kai, Kai... what technique?"

A dwarf service member at the Spellcaster Guild's branch in Serdarion asked with some confusion.

Jia Xiu judged that the other person was a dwarf because he had no beard.

Ever since meeting Dean Nico and Manager Taco, a pair of dwarf brothers who are not very dwarf-like, it has become more difficult for Jia Xiu to judge whether they are dwarves or not.

The only feature left is the beard.

"Inspiration," he replied.

"Oh, yes, it's Enlightenment. Uh, are you sure there is such a spell? Or have you researched a new spell? The level of the new spell is not in this window."

The staff was puzzled by the unpopularity of enlightenment.

"Yes, if the information in the Historical Spell Encyclopedia in the Sanderro College Library is correct, then it's confirmed."

In the history of the development of magic, a large number of strange spells appeared and were eliminated. Some of them were recorded, and more disappeared in history.

The records were compiled into a large encyclopedia, but that encyclopedia was not very academic-oriented. It only mentioned what spells had been cast, recorded the developers, and the effects. As for the specific circuits and runes, they were not listed there.

Jia Xiu would read this kind of encyclopedia purely because he had free time.

I read it as an entertainment book, very suitable for entertainment, but I didn't expect it to be really useful.

"Historical spell, historical spell, please wait, I need some time to confirm." As he said this, he threw the letter with the relevant information into the pneumatic tube.

ten minutes later.

"Um, please wait a moment, it will be ready soon." The dwarf smiled awkwardly.

Twenty minutes later.

The situation had become so awkward that people had to make small talk.

"Have you been to the second round of the Five Schools Competition recently? There's a phantom called 'Almighty Mage, Increases Spell Mastery When Casting Spells'. It's really interesting. It's a pity that I didn't get five new viewers, so I only watched the first three episodes."

“I didn’t go to the exhibition.”

"Oh, then you are truly a dedicated spellcaster, working so hard on your research."

"No, it's mainly because I can't get out. I was the one who created the illusion, and I can't go to the exhibition hall to avoid suspicion."

Hearing what Jia Xiu said, the dwarf's eyes widened.

"Yes, you did it. Can you tell me what the story is like later? I can pay to listen."

Based on the "good virtue" that both big and small money can be earned, Jia Xiu talked about the classic plot of the auction and made enemies by raising the price.

"and after?"

"Later, a reply came from the fifth pneumatic tube in the third row from your right behind you."

The dwarf, who was so engrossed in listening, paused for a moment before reacting and quickly went to get the letter back.

"Good news, Mr. Jia Xiu. The association has this spell, but there is only one original copy. You can make an appointment to view the original copy at the association headquarters, or apply for a copy. The procedure is not too complicated..."

"Which one is faster?"

"About that. If everything goes well, the approval process can be completed in about a week."

"Wow, that's really efficient."

The dwarf heard Jia Xiu's teasing and said, "The reply also mentioned a possible method. There is a high probability that spells from this period are stored in the city library of Serdarion. You can go and take a look."

"Okay, bye."

Jia Xiu took the dozens of herls given by the dwarf and prepared to go to the elves' city library. Unexpectedly, the window clerk of the association was quite rich. It seemed that he could spend a lot of money.

"Sir! Will you follow the story of the Almighty Mage all the way to the end?"

"It depends."

The dwarf staff didn't understand what "it depends on the situation" meant. Is there anyone who tells a story without an ending? That's too evil.

Soon, Jiaxiu arrived at the Serdarion City Library.

A huge building sits at the foot of a giant tree, its details full of elven charm. Living branches make up the main body of the building, glowing vines serve as lighting, the stairs and bookshelves are all made of crystal, and flowing curtains serve as partitions between different book collection areas, making it seem as if they are maintained by magic.

It combines elegance and luxury with the characteristics of having money but nowhere to spend it.

It was empty, with few people around, and no one was holding a book, a water cup, or even two pages of draft paper to reserve a seat.

What surprised Jia Xiu the most was not the luxury of the library, but the density of elves here.

I never expected that every single staff member I met in the library was a pure elf or half-elf, not a single one of other races.

It fits his stereotype of a wealthy city.

Local residents are either employed in family businesses or in official departments and public services.

They don't have the feeling of coming to work. They have enough money, they just want to find something to do.

Pure experience life.

The successful realization of labor is to achieve the highest level of labor itself.

However, this characteristic of working not for the sake of making money has created a very special working attitude among the staff here.

Let Jia Xiu see the very smart elves in the story.

A sense of relaxation, or rather, coolness.

To speak human language is to ignore people.

"Hello, I need to find some literature on enlightenment." Jia Xiu asked.

The elf in front of him didn't say anything. He glanced at Jia Xiu indifferently, then nodded his chin to the side.

Jia Xiu was stunned.

"What do you mean?"

The elf nodded his chin impatiently to the side again.

This time Jia Xiu understood that he was being asked to take the manual next to him and read it himself.

But it’s one thing to understand.

Unhappy, very unhappy.

"Can't you speak?"

The elf slammed the book on the table with an unhappy look on his face and said a lot of nonsense.

Jia Xiu was stunned. This elf was speaking Elvish!

It's obvious that he is a human, but he is speaking Elvish.

This service attitude is unbeatable.

Jia Xiu frowned and took in the surrounding environment. Suddenly, he found something interesting on the inside of the service desk.

Have it.

"I want to file a complaint against you."

Facing Jia Xiu's threat to complain, the elf remained calm and smiled contemptuously, as if to say, "You don't think complaining will help, do you? The entire system is on one side."

However, she underestimated the cunningness of Jia Xiu's complaint.

"What's that snack in the box on your desk? It's not fat scraps, or even lard scraps. Oh my god, this is terrible. An elf is actually eating lard scraps in a public place like a library during working hours."

The elf panicked and scrambled to hide the snacks.

Jia Xiu was still speaking, "Don't panic, it's just lard. I love it, but I didn't expect elves to eat this. It doesn't fit the legendary elf image."

The elf image is also deliberately emphasized.

"I'm sorry, sir. I was rude just now. I apologize."

The elf was so anxious that he even spoke the common language. "No, what's there to apologize for eating pork cracklings? Elven law, surely it doesn't even apply to this?"

The elf was sweating profusely. Oh no, how come this person even knew this? There must be a traitor among the elves!
She came straight out of the service desk with the most flattering smile possible.

"Sir, please have some tea. Wait a moment. I'll go find the relevant information for you. Um..."

"Enlightenment."

"I'm sorry, I was too stupid to remember it and delayed you. I will go find some literature on enlightenment for you right now." After saying this, he trotted away and disappeared between the bookshelves.

Jia Xiu was drinking tea.

Not to mention, the quality of the elf's tea is not bad. He didn't like drinking tea before, but as he got older, he could accept it. As you grow up, you always accept things that you couldn't accept before.

Now he knew that there was a reason why the elves did not have particularly good relationships with other races.

They act like everyone they meet owes them a few hundred kronor. Who can get along well with them? In comparison, Gillianis is really "smart".

Jia Xiu had reason to suspect that the reason why the dwarves and elves were so at odds with each other was not only because of their ancestors' hatred and the fact that they believed the other had betrayed the alliance, but also because they simply disliked each other because of their different attitudes towards things.

Threatened by the complaint, the elf was very efficient and returned in a few minutes with the "documents" he needed.

"what is this?"

Jia Xiu looked at the small bottle in front of him. There was a grayish-white mass floating in it, similar to flocs, and a bit like a soul.

"This is a memory fragment," the elf explained. "There is no direct documentation regarding enlightenment in the collection, but there are memories of the elves learning enlightenment."

She also briefly introduced what memory fragments are.

Because elves have lived for too long, they often forget things. For this reason, they have developed spells to extract fragments of memory and look at them when they need to recall them.

This is very Dumbledore.

A considerable portion of memories that do not involve privacy will be contributed and placed in the library for people to consult.

"Just open it, put it in front of your head, wait a moment, and the memory fragment will enter your mind."

She also "thoughtfully" introduced the usage.

"That's really convenient."

Jia Xiu didn't waste any time and started studying directly.

He had thought that memory fragments would be very similar to the phantom world, experienced from a first-person perspective.

Actually, they are not the same.

In my memory, I was actually a bystander who could change my perspective, and it was more convenient to observe information than in the phantom world.

It seems that it is also useful for investigating details that are not clear in memory.

The disadvantage is that it only contains things that are in the memory, and the entire scene is not complete. The angles that the person involved did not see are left empty, so it seems a bit weird.

The main content of this memory is an elf class. The teacher taught the plant growth technique and the farming magic. In order to allow students to better understand the feeling of using this spell, the teacher first used enlightenment to give students the ability to use this spell.

In the process of using enlightenment, its completion circuit and guidance process appear.

It is confirmed that Enlightenment is a super unpopular spell.

Learning from the elves' memory requires such a long detour.

The good news is that enlightenment itself is not complicated. Its difficulty depends on the spell to be "initiated", and its complexity is always one level higher than the spell bestowed.

After confirming that he had figured out the entire circuit, Jia Xiu left his memory and began to copy it on the magic book.

And try to start adjusting to the form of bestowing runes instead of full spells.

This step is not difficult, because the spell itself is a collection of runes.

Jia Xiu spent more energy on adjusting the way to call runes in the library.

His ideal situation is that after being enlightened, both the vampires and humans can use their own magic.

But the call rune structure of vampires and humans is the same.

If they are all replaced in the enlightenment spell, the originally usable human spells will become unusable because the runes in this third-party library are also called.

You need to add an identifier rune for importing external libraries. When using vampire spells, call this rune first. Do not call it when using human spells to distinguish them.

Even though it makes the use of vampire magic a step slower than that of a regular vampire, at least it can be used, right?

Big improvement.

Jia Xiu entered a state of complete devotion, so focused that he didn't feel the passage of time, and completed the modification of the enlightenment technique with extremely high efficiency.

The elf standing by was stunned. She had never seen anyone adjust a spell so quickly.

As for why she has been watching here.

Because Jia Xiu didn't let her go, she didn't dare to leave, for fear that she would be complained about again.

Just stand for a while. After all, she is an elf and has plenty of time.

Jia Xiu felt that he was now "one with the law", and his thoughts were as clear as they could be.

It was so clear that after the modification, not only was there no error, there was not even a warning.

Seeing that there were no warning signs or runes, Jia Xiu felt a little self-doubtful. He was actually not used to the fact that there was no warning at all.

It is not convenient to ask others to experiment with this spell, mainly because others are not familiar with vampire spells, unlike him who has studied them all.

So, Jia Xiu directly guided the magic power.

Enlighten yourself!

But I didn’t feel inspired at all!

He wasn't sure if it was because the spell hadn't worked, or if it was because he already knew the runes, so the knowledge flooded into his brain.

Jia Xiu closed the magic book and did not use its rune-calling spellcasting ability, but began to cast the spell again on his own.

The blood clots into a spoon.

A very basic little vampire trick, much simpler than the enchantment on the vampire fang.

As the magic power surged, a little blood seeped out from between Jia Xiu's fingers. The blood floated in the air and slowly condensed into the shape of a key.

The simple lock-picking technique of the vampires can only be used to open mechanical locks with simple structures and no magical protection. It also requires bleeding and is difficult to control. If the magic power is slightly unstable, the blood will collapse into liquid again.

Apart from being silent, all aspects of its performance were destroyed by the proper unlocking spell - knocking.

But now, this small blood key represents more than just a vampire trick.

"You know what?" Jia Xiu turned to the elf and said, "You are witnessing history. Although your attitude just now was really asking for a beating, you're welcome."

This elf is not a magician, his job is a wanderer. As a wealthy elf, he became a wanderer because of rebellion.

In short, she didn't understand what Jia Xiu did meant. In her opinion, it was just a special trick.

But as long as Jia Xiu doesn't complain, whatever he says is right.

"Really? I'm so lucky."

Having said that, he didn't seem excited at all.

At least she wasn't as excited as she was many years later when she told everyone she knew about witnessing Master Jia Xiu making history.

In her version of the story, she at least had some credit for laying the first step towards a complete analysis of vampire magic.

Jia Xiu ignored the elf's emotionless "I'm so lucky" and directly submitted the modified enlightenment technique and vampire rune library.
