Simultaneous Transmigration: Minor Characters Don't Be Cannon Fodder

Chapter 98 The Library

"Ah, Qingling, you've come."

Queen Medusa, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Qingling enter the hall and slowly raised her bewitching eyes, speaking in a seductive voice.

Little Fairy Doctor, who had followed Qingling in, saw Queen Medusa.

Sensing the imposing aura emanating from the other party, he instinctively shrank back and hid behind Qingling.

Feeling something soft against her back, Qingling reached out and patted Xiaoyixian's hand that was on her sleeve, indicating that she didn't need to be nervous.

Then he looked up and met Queen Medusa's gaze, greeting her casually: "Hehe, Your Majesty, you look even better these past few days."

"As you can see, I've come to keep my appointment. I wonder if you've prepared your bargaining chips."

"Your Excellency is indeed impatient." Queen Medusa raised an eyebrow slightly, then beckoned to her maid, Flower Snake, to bring the prepared magic cores to Qingling.

"Here you go, these are the sixth-tier magic cores and five fifth-tier magic cores you requested."

"That sixth-order magic core was taken from the depths of the Tagor Desert, from the magic core of a sixth-order Earthfire Scorpion."

"Our Serpent Clan's Grand Commander was seriously injured in order to obtain it."

Upon hearing this, Qingling reached out and took the jade box presented by Hua She'er. As soon as she opened the lid, a scorching heat rushed out.

Inside the jade box, lined with a soft cushion woven from ice silkworm silk, lay six magic cores lying quietly.

Inside, there were five fifth-order magic cores, each with pure energy and a different color. However, in the very center, a purplish-red magic core the size of a fist completely suppressed the energy fluctuations of the other five magic cores.

Qingling was slightly taken aback, thinking that this must be the core of that sixth-order Earthfire Demon Scorpion.

Even though this magic core has been removed, it still contains incredibly fierce and violent energy.

"Not bad." Qingling nodded in satisfaction, closed the jade box, and casually put it into her personal space.

Then she raised her head again, a faint smile in her dark golden eyes.

"Now that Her Majesty the Queen has paid the deposit, I should fulfill the contract."

"I wonder when Her Majesty plans to pay the other half of the reward? And when is the evolution project scheduled to begin?"

Upon hearing Qingling's question, Queen Medusa slowly rose from her throne, her serpentine tail gliding gently across the smooth stone slab as she slowly approached Qingling.

"The Serpent Clan's library is open to you from today onwards, and you have six months of usage rights."

"As for the matter of evolution, let's leave it for tomorrow."

After saying this, Queen Medusa turned and walked towards her bedchamber without waiting for Qingling's reply.

At the same time, she instructed Hua She'er, who was standing beside her, "Hua'er, take these two distinguished guests to rest first, and also show Lord Qingling the way to the library."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Flower Snake bowed in agreement and respectfully saw Queen Medusa off as she disappeared.

She then turned around, looked at Qingling and her apprentice, smiled slightly, and respectfully invited, "Please follow me, both of you."

Flower Snake led Qingling and her master through a winding sandstone corridor deep within the temple, their figures appearing longer and shorter under the dark green glow of the snake-fluorite inlaid on both sides of the corridor.

After walking for about two minutes, under the watchful eyes of a dozen snake-man guards, Flower Snake led them to an elegantly decorated stone chamber.

Pushing open the heavy stone door, one finds clean water for washing and a change of clothes already prepared inside.

On the table to the side, there was a plate of bright green mandoline crisps.

This thing is a third-tier spiritual material, but here it's just a plate of fruit for entertaining guests.

"Gentlemen, this is the room the Queen has prepared for you."

"If you need anything, just let Yueya know, she'll be waiting outside."

After speaking, Hua She'er paused, then turned to Qing Ling, "Your Excellency Qing Ling, are you planning to go to my clan's library now, or later?"

"Let's go now, I don't have anything else to do right now."

Qingling casually hung the black coat on the hook beside her shoulder, then turned to Little Fairy Doctor and said, "You can wait for me here later, and I can consolidate my cultivation."

"Of course, if there's anything urgent, just activate the scale I left in your storage ring, and I'll be back soon."

"Okay, I understand." Little Fairy Doctor nodded.

Then Qingling followed Huashe'er out of the guest room and headed towards the library on the other side of the temple.

The Serpent People's library is located in the east wing of the temple, not far from the side hall where Qingling is staying.

From the outside, this library is unremarkable, just a low sandstone tower with mottled marks from wind and sand erosion.

However, under Qingling's spiritual perception, there was the aura of a peak Dou Wang and a peak Dou Huang inside this tower.

That Dou Huang among them, although not quite as good as Queen Medusa, was not far off, and was probably one of the four elders of the Snake-People Clan.

With him in charge, this tower is not a place that ordinary people can approach.

Upon reaching the entrance of the library, Flower Snake took out a snake-shaped token and embedded it into the groove of the tower's main door.

With a low, rumbling sound of machinery turning, the heavy stone door slowly opened to both sides.

Instantly, a smell mixed with old paper and preservatives entered Qingling's sense of smell.

After opening the gate, Hua She'er did not go any further. Instead, she turned around, handed the token in her hand to Qing Ling, and then respectfully stepped aside.

"This token is Her Majesty the Queen's personal token, and its authority is equivalent to that of the Queen herself."

"With it, ninety percent of the library will be open to you."

"However, I must remind you that the deepest level is a forbidden area of ​​our snake-people race. I hope you will not trespass there casually."

"Otherwise, my snake-people race will certainly not let you leave."

Upon hearing this, Qingling raised an eyebrow, took the token, twirled it between her fingers, and made an OK sign, assuring him confidently, "Don't worry, I know the rules, I won't do anything reckless."

Having made her promise, Qingling didn't hesitate any longer and eagerly entered the library.

Upon entering the library, Qingling discovered that the interior space of the tower was much larger than she had imagined.

On the rows of bookshelves, thousands of volumes of Yellow-rank and Profound-rank cultivation techniques and combat skills were neatly stacked, including even fragments of Earth-rank cultivation techniques and combat skills.

There are even various precious documents, geographical maps, and animal illustrations collected by the Snake People from the Tagor Desert.

It looks like a wide variety of things, with everything imaginable.

Looking at the overflowing bookshelves, Qingling showed excitement, and then eagerly stepped forward, picked out a cultivation manual and began to read it carefully.
