"It just so happens that I need help sorting out some banned books."

Just as she took a step forward, Remlia's exclamation suddenly came from the restaurant:

"Wait! Where did that guy go?"

Patchouli winked cunningly and suddenly grabbed Zhou Yuan's wrist:

"It's a bit dizzy to teleport."

The magic light flows through her fingertips,

"It is recommended to hold your breath—"

The two figures instantly dissipated into countless points of light.

----------

When Zhou Yuan's vision became clear again, he was greeted by the rich aroma of parchment.

He stumbled a bit and held onto the bookshelf beside him to avoid falling.

"S-Sorry..."

He rubbed his temples, the dizziness still hadn't completely subsided.

"This teleportation magic is even more powerful than I imagined..."

The words stopped abruptly.

The world before him made him forget to breathe——

Countless suspended bookshelves extended in a spiral to the end of the sight. Ancient magic books flipped their yellowed pages by themselves, emitting a faint blue light.

Above the dome, the star map slowly rotates, as if it contains the entire galaxy.

However, compared to these, what Zhou Yuan cares about more is——

Or the picture album that was open on the desk in the middle.

Patchouli followed his gaze, and her amethyst-like pupils suddenly contracted.

"do not look!"

She almost screamed as an instantaneous magic circle snapped the album shut and flew into her trembling hands.

Zhou Yuan blinked.

Although it was only a moment, the delicate watercolor lines were still deeply imprinted in my mind——

The poses of the characters in the painting look like...

"Is this... a doujinshi?"

"Don't say it!"

Patchouli's nightcap was tilted to one side, and her purple hair was messily sticking up.

"You didn't see anything!"

She hurriedly stuffed the picture album into the deepest part of the bookshelf, but accidentally knocked over the ink bottle next to it.

The moment the ink splashed, several magic books suddenly turned the pages automatically, stopping at words such as "embarrassment" and "shame".

What's even more outrageous is that a copy of "Magical Painting Guide" floated between the two of them in a shameless manner, and turned to the chapter on "Human Body Composition".

"You traitors!"

Patchouli was so angry that she stamped her feet and didn't even straighten her nightcap.

....................................

'Recorded!'

'Recorded!'

'Recorded!'

...

The system prompt sound kept ringing in Zhou Yuan's mind.

He mechanically took the magic books that Patchouli handed him and placed them neatly on the bookshelf.

Every time I touch a book, a glimmer of light flashes before my eyes——

That's the atlas system automatically scanning and recording.

[Reward: C-rank skill "Water Magic (Beginner)"! ]

[Reward: C-rank skill "Earth Shining Magic (Beginner)"!]

[Reward: C-rank skill "Golden Magic (Beginner)"!]

...

The ding-dong sound of the reminder was like a never-ending series of alarm clocks, gradually making his brain numb.

These magic books that are rarely seen in normal times were touched by him today as if they were free.

This recording function, which usually has a pitifully low presence, has been completely exploited today.

"Zhou Yuan, Zhou Yuan!"

Patchouli's voice suddenly brought his drifting consciousness back.

The purple-haired witch was looking at him with her head tilted, the moon pendant on her nightcap swaying slightly with her movements.

"It's over~"

She pointed to the neatly arranged bookshelf behind her with a sly smile on her lips.

"Why, are you shocked by my collection of books?"

"Oh, oh, okay."

Zhou Yuan rubbed his temples, feeling his mind filled with various magic spells.

“It’s just a bit of…information overload…”

Patchouli chuckled and tapped his forehead with her fingertips:

“That’s what happens to people who come to the library for the first time.”

She turned and walked towards the reading area.

"Would you like a cup of refreshing floral tea?"

--------

The warm tea with a light floral scent slid into Zhou Yuan's throat, and he felt that the magical knowledge that was running rampant in his mind had finally slowly settled down.

"call--"

He breathed a sigh of relief, turning the teacup gently in his hands.

"Speaking of which, a collection of so many precious grimoires would be one of the best in the entire wizarding world, right?"

The corners of Patchouli's mouth rose unconsciously, and a hint of pride flashed in her amethyst eyes:

"Humph~"

She deliberately dragged out the tone.

"This is a rare book that I have spent nearly a hundred years collecting."

"Then transporting these treasures to the human world must have taken a lot of effort, right?"

Zhou Yuan looked around at the towering bookshelves.

The witch gracefully took a sip of tea, the star decoration on her nightcap swaying gently with her movements:

"Actually it's not bad."

A small teleportation array formed at her fingertips.

"Thanks to this, we can transfer in batches. But..."

She suddenly lowered her voice.

"There were a few particularly valuable ones, and I personally carried them to transfer them."

At this point, she seemed to remember something and suddenly looked at Zhou Yuan warily:

"Wait, are you planning something?"

Zhou Yuan quickly raised his hands in surrender:

"How could that be! I'm just simply curious."

But his eyes unconsciously glanced in the direction of the "Compendium of Forbidden Magic".

Patchouli narrowed her eyes, and a thin layer of ice suddenly formed on the teacup in her hand:

"Forget about the books in the top three rows."

Zhou Yuan looked away awkwardly, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the edge of the teacup.

In the reflection of the tea, he saw Patchouli staring at him thoughtfully.

"Speaking of..."

The witch suddenly put down the teacup, and the porcelain made a crisp sound when it hit the wooden table.

"Are you interested in magic?"

"Ah, so be it."

Zhou Yuan scratched his head.

"After all, in this world, it's always good to learn some self-defense."

A sly glint flashed in Patchouli's eyes:

"Then...would you like to give it a try?"

She tapped her fingertips lightly, and a book with a gold cover, "Principles of Basic Elemental Magic", floated out from a locked box.

"Anyway, I've made an exception and let you into the library today..."

Zhou Yuan's eyes lit up, and he was about to reach out to take it, but he saw the book suddenly make a sharp turn and fall steadily back into Patchouli's hands.

"But there is a condition."

She held the book to her chest, the star ornament on her nightcap gleaming faintly.

"First, you have to tell me why you care so much about that 'Compendium of Forbidden Magic'?"

The air in the library suddenly became quiet.

In the distance, several magic books quietly raised their pages, as if eavesdropping on this conversation.

Chapter 19 Come be MuQ’s apprentice, Miyu!

"Boom boom boom——"

The sudden knock on the door startled Patchouli and she almost knocked over the teacup in her hand.

"Mmm!"

She uttered a lovely exclamation, and the moon ornament on her nightcap swayed.

Before Zhou Yuan could react, the heavy oak door creaked and slowly opened.

In the backlight, Melyuchina's figure is particularly eye-catching——

The long silver hair fluttered slightly with the rapid breathing, and the golden vertical pupils flashed dangerously in the shadows.

"Xiaoyuan!"

Her golden pupils locked onto her target, and the dragon race's unique sense of oppression made the magic books on the bookshelf shrink.

"So you were hiding here..."

The last word rose dangerously, and his fingertips left five fingerprints on the door frame.
