29. Murder hidden in the dark
Looking at this magic tower with a very different appearance, we were like standing at the foot of a giant mountain, with nearly 100-meter feldstone steps leading to the library full of Gana guards.
I didn't expect that the magic tower of this Abyss City was much more grand than the tower of the Arrogance of the Green Capital. There were even some cracks on the mottled walls and some mottled moss in the cracks of the rocks. This giant magic tower has a heavy sense of age.
However, there were dozens of passages arranged in front of the gate, and these passages were not neatly arranged. Looking at the many passages in front of me made of bookshelf spliced with books, Ying Li and I couldn't help but feel a little troubled. We didn't know which passage to choose for a while. Ying Li asked the great wizard Zampura:
"Wizard Zampra, which road should we take?"
The great wizard Zampra stood by the entrance of the library passage, drooping his eyelids as if he was asleep.
She opened her eyes when she heard Ying Li’s question, but did not answer, but just shook her head gently.
The smile on his face looked a little weird, and the expression on his face full of wrinkles was a bit unpredictable.
The Great Wizard Zampra did not tell us the answer, which means we have to choose which channel to enter.
Justus pointed to the limited symbols on the sign at the entrance of the library and told me that these symbols only represent serial numbers and have no specific meaning.
"Then choose this one!" Ying Li pointed to the nearest entrance and said.
Actually, I don’t care much about which channel to go. Ying Li and I don’t understand Gana’s language very well. Most of the magic books in it are simply not understood by us. We cannot stay in the library for too long. The magic knowledge we can gain in the library is quite limited. This is probably the reason why the Great Wizard of Zampra did not restrict the entrance to the channel.
I looked up at the dozens of passages built with bookshelf, thinking that even if we encountered some relatively advanced water magic skills, we didn't know Jiana at all. I guess even if we could get some profound magic knowledge, we might not be able to digest it in a short time.
Ying Li pointed a shortcut casually and happily agreed to Ying Li's proposal.
I said, "Okay! Then let's go this one..."
At this moment, although the face of the Great Wizard Zampra's face did not change, I keenly felt a brief pause in the electric element force field around her body with my talent for magic perception. I quietly looked at the Great Wizard Zampra quietly. She still drooped her eyelids and looked drowsy, as if she had some lung disease, her breathing seemed a little rapid, and her chest was whistling when she was breathing.
At this time, she looked up at me as if she was aware, looked at me slowly, and said, "If you decide, you might as well go in and take a walk! I am old and can't walk so many roads. Let's rest here, let them both accompany you."
After saying that, she looked at the stone steps of the library. Because we were standing at the entrance of the library, a group of jana wizards behind us did not come over. They waited quietly on the stone steps in groups of three or five. There was not much effort, and many jana wizards gathered on the stone steps.
Hearing the instructions of the Great Wizard Zampra, the two wizards behind Zampra walked to the front without expression. They were tall and almost perfect in appearance, but the expressions on their faces seemed a little cold. Without even looking at us, the two wizards took the lead in walking along the passage chosen by Ying Li and me.
Ying Li and I followed him at a glance. Helena, Becky, Katerina followed us, followed by Kalancho, Justus and the Taurus Ruka. Seeing that we all walked into the magic tower library, the great wizard Zampra turned around and walked aside. At this time, the wizards of Gana who were waiting on the stone steps below surrounded the entrance to the library passage.
Ying Li saw me standing at the entrance of the passage, looked back and asked me curiously: "Gillia, what are you looking at?"
"Nothing." I withdrew my gaze and said to Ying Li, "This magic library is really special!"
Entering this huge library like a conch, we walked along the passage, which was about four meters wide. Ying Li, Helena, and Becky walked side by side without feeling crowded. The bookshelf on both sides were painted and decorated and appeared a bronze color. The entire passage showed a spiral arc that slowly rose. There was a magic wall lamp every few meters away on both sides of the bookshelf. The wicks of these magic wall lamps looked like huge pearls, and the bright white light emanated from these adult fists-sized beads, illuminating a few meters away around the bookshelf.
The channel we chose showed a spiral upward trend, so we couldn't see the end for a while.
Although the two wizards of Gana were standing in front of us with a stern face, they would wait in front of us without saying a word when we stopped.
The two rows of bookshelves are about five meters high. These bookshelfs are designed according to the figure of the Gana people. The tall Gana men can roughly touch the magic books on the top of the bookshelf with their body stretched out. Each of these books is very huge. One book is almost as big as a desktop. Ying Li and I tried to pull out one from the bottom of the bookshelf and put the magic book on the floor. We spread the pages and saw that it was filled with dense Jiana words, just like a heavenly book.
I turned my head and asked Justus, the descendant of Siren behind me, "Jusus, can you read this book?"
Justus walked up from behind, frowned and looked at me silently for a while, and smiled bitterly at me, "Some of this kind of book introducing magic are very rare. I know most of the words on this page, but if I put them together, I can't guess the meaning of it."
"You know, my Ganavin comes to my mother, but unfortunately she always wanted to find that horn, and she was not in the mood to teach me..."
I flipped through this magic book bound from unknown sea beast skin. Some of the pages also had some magic pattern patterns, which were some water-based magic pattern arrays. The patterns of these magic arrays were very different from what I learned at the Royal Magic Academy and looked more complicated. However, when I used my fingers to draw these magic pattern structures, I found that these were just some of the most basic water-based magic pattern arrays, with densely packed with annotations in Gana's texts, but unfortunately I couldn't understand them.
Ying Li’s understanding of water-based magic is far less than that of me, and she was even more confused when reading this magic book. She saw me flipping back page by page, and did not disturb me. Instead, she pulled Helena and Becky along the bookshelf to find the magic book she was interested in.
At this time, she frowned and stood in front of the bookshelf with a serious look on her face to select books.
Soon I turned the book on the ground from beginning to end. Although this book is very thick, it is because each unknown sea beast skin cut page is very thick. The magic book is actually only more than forty pages after nearly a foot. I judged that this magic book is just a primary magic book, so I was not going to stay in this area.
The tauren Ruka held the magic book and put it back to its original place.
When I went to search for the next magic book of Gana, there was a very strange feeling in my spiritual sea. The pages I had seen before seemed to turn into photos, and then I slowly immersed in the golden ocean. The words and illustrations of Gana in those photos were lingering no matter what.
At this time, Ying Li was also looking for documents about magical plants and herbs on the tall bookshelf. She was very interested in magical herbs. In addition, there were more illustrations on this kind of book than words, so it was easier to read and gain something.
Seeing that I quickly put the magic book back to its original place, Ying Li comforted me and said, "Or else we will walk inside, maybe there will be magic book of ancient elves in it."
I nodded and said to her, "The books here are probably some basic basics, let's walk inside."
As he said that, he pulled Ying Li to the inside. When the two wizards in front saw us follow us, they took us along the way. We walked and stopped along the way, and we could read a lot of such huge magic books along the way. Although I didn't understand a word about the slogan above, they were recorded in the golden sea of spirit like taking pictures.
The Magic Tower Library of the City of Haiyuan has collected a large number of magic books. The number of magic books is much beyond Ying Li and I. The bookshelf on both sides are like thick walls, and the bookshelf is almost filled with magic books. We walked up along the spiral passage. The more we walked up, the more profound the content recorded in these magic books became. We just turned around along the spiral path and touched the water-type magic arrays, which was almost what I learned now.
But I can't understand it a little. Although some of the magic patterns I saw here are of the same level, the magic patterns recorded in these magic books are much more complicated than those I learned in the Magic Academy. However, when I found that I could record the contents of these magic books, I began to let Katerina, Kalancho, the tauren Ruka and Justus take turns to get magic books from the bookshelf. I sat on the floor, waiting for the magic books in front of me to turn pages one by one, and I printed these contents into the memory fragments of the golden sea one by one.
Ying Li saw me opening these magic books in a hurry, and said to me with a smile: "What effect can you have when reading books like this?"
I smiled at Ying Li and blinked, and whispered to her: "If you find the books you like, don't rush to learn the knowledge above. You can give me those magic books and I will help you write them down. When you return to the imperial capital, I will copy them bit by bit."
"You mean...you can write down these..." Ying Li widened his eyes and looked at me incredibly.
I stretched out my finger and tapped her soft lips, "Shh, we have to move faster, try to read two more books."
So in this extremely deserted bookshelves, the group of eight of us took out the magic books from the bookshelf and read them quickly in front of me, and then quickly returned to our original position.
We wanted to record some advanced magic books as much as possible, so we tried to go through the magic books while walking into the passage ahead, but when we turned along the spiral path to the second round, many runes on the magic books taken from the bookshelf seemed a little dazzling. I tried to record the contents of the magic books, but the strange runes became blurred every time they were immersed in the golden sea, and they kept disappearing from memory fragments.
I realized that this area was beyond the scope of magic knowledge I could absorb, and forcibly recording advanced magic runes would damage the spiritual power of magicians, so I quickly stopped and then retreated from the scope of magic books that I could accept. I spent the whole afternoon in the rustling sound of flipping books.
The two wizards of Gana waited before us from beginning to end.
Later, the two wizards of Gana finally waited a little impatiently. They discussed in a low voice in front of them, and then walked to Ying Li.
At this time, I happened to finish reading the magician who was spread on the ground, so I raised my head and looked at them, stretched my waist, feeling extremely sore all over.
"Princess Yingli, the great wizard has prepared a sumptuous dinner for you. We will probably speed up the process before we can get out of this magic book area."
"Okay, let's go now!" Ying Li said happily when he heard the two wizards of Gana and agreed.
I thought we would return along the original path of the passage, but I didn't expect these two wizards of Gana to continue to take us forward.
Along the way, I tried to close my eyes and lower my head, not to read the magic books on the bookshelf, so as not to read too many advanced magic runes to damage my mental power. Ying Li also followed me with his eyes closed. The others who were accompanying were not magicians. They could not understand the magical power contained in the advanced magic runes, but they did not feel the same way as me.
We walked five circles along the bookshelf corridor, and the higher we went, the smaller the circle. When we reached the fifth circle, it was almost as big as a room.
I didn't even dare to stay in this room. I followed the wizard of Gana through this magic passage. In front of me was a moon gate. I thought that this magic book passage had reached the end, and this library trip ended. Unexpectedly, when I walked out of the bookshelf passage and stepped into the moon gate, I actually entered a huge room.
I don't think there is such a spacious room on the top floor of this magic tower. The hall is nearly 10,000 square feet, and a tall dome above my head, and there are some bluestone statues on this marble-paved ground. These statues are carved with the Gana people as templates. Each Gana people statue looks lifelike. These statues are wearing some magic armor and holding some refined weapons in their hands.
