Looking forward to another world.

Chapter 1095 Is it so lonely and unbearable?

What is a library?
In fact, it means exactly what it says, a warehouse used to store books.

Li Ge had been to the libraries of many forces, so he knew that the libraries Melo mentioned at this time were the places where precious books were collected.

However, he didn't quite understand why Mello mentioned the library at this time.

"It seems that you haven't realized it yet." Melo seemed to see the puzzlement in Li Ge's heart. After laughing, he said, "No matter which force it is, the library used to store books is extremely important."

"Like the library of the Imperial Palace, which contains precious books from countless places throughout the Kaledohat Empire and that have been circulated for countless years."

"It includes but is not limited to... instruction books for guiding others in their practice, magic books that record various kinds of magic, enlightenment books on various magical techniques, and record books that record secret history. It can be said to be all-encompassing."

After hearing what Melo said, Lige was a little bit confused.

He almost forgot that, whether in the Akasha Continent or in the Source World, the libraries of the major forces were not just libraries, but also treasure rooms.

Just because the instruction books for others' practice, the magic books that record various kinds of magic, the enlightenment books on various magical technical knowledge... these are real treasures and the foundation for a force to develop.

Even the library in Franzel's villa houses various sword skills books and magic books. These are precious books that can clearly guide others on how to practice sword skills and how to learn magic. They are related to a person's future and can determine a person's strength.

If a force does not have such a place of books to guide its internal members in their practice, then this force will most likely not be very strong, let alone develop.

Even in the Dusk Hall, the base camp of the Loki clan, there is a library with a large collection of books.

Some of the books there contained stories about certain heroes, some contained introductions and descriptions of various parts of the continent, and some also clearly recorded some skills and knowledge on using magic, which could be said to be quite precious.

The reason why Lige was able to quickly acquire magic application skills such as parallel chanting and high-speed chanting was, on the one hand, because of the guidance of a powerful magician like Livilia, and on the other hand, because he was able to find relevant books in the clan's base camp and had the opportunity to study on his own.

Therefore, leaving other worlds aside, in the Akasha Continent and the Source World, almost every force has built a library, and the larger the force, the more precious its library is, even inferior to a real treasure room or vault.

Isn't Lige on the other side of the Akasha continent also waiting to enter the royal library of Queen Thistis to look for books about the hidden place?

After coming to this world, didn't Lige also stay in the library of the Holy Sword Church for several days before he got a general understanding of this world and learned about the history of the two worlds that took place 11,000 years ago?
So, if one wants to find clues related to the demise of the Reinnail clan and the ancient magic civilization in the Great Saint Palace, starting from the library of the Great Saint Palace is undoubtedly the first thing one should think of.

That is the place most likely to record something and leave something behind.

The reason why Li Ge didn't think of it was actually very simple.

"After I entered the back hall, I summoned a large number of monsters to explore the surroundings, but I only found the study room, not the library." Li Ge shook his head and said, "Almost everything in the study room was destroyed, so I think the library of the Great Saint Palace may have met with misfortune, right?"

Because there was no place like a library here, Lige didn't think of looking for it at first.

But he was wrong.

"The Great Saint Palace is the residence of the saviors of all generations. There must be a library here." Naisha took over Melo's words and said solemnly to Lige: "If you don't find its existence, it only means one thing."

"The library of the Great Saint Palace has been hidden." Beiludi also took over Naisha's words and told Lige, "This is also what every force will do. The precious library will definitely be hidden in some way, and its location will not be known to outsiders."

The library in Franzel's villa was like this. If it weren't for Yuli's permission, Lige would not have been able to enter the library even if he stood in front of the door.

The library of Queen Thistis's royal family needs to be unsealed in advance, and people can only enter after about a day.

Today, the library in this Great Saint Palace apparently also has a similar protection mechanism.

"I think that given the status of the Great Saint Palace in this empire, the protection measures for the library here are definitely of the highest level, comparable to the library in the royal palace." Melo analyzed and said, "And most powerful forces, when building protection measures for their libraries, basically consider what to do with their library if someone breaks in or the base camp falls."

We certainly can't let the enemy get away with it.

"I don't know about other things, but the library of the royal family of the Kaledohat Empire has a self-destruct program. If the royal palace falls and is trampled by the enemy one day, the library will burn down by itself."

Mello revealed such a secret information.

"The same goes for the Holy Sword Church's library. If the headquarters is invaded and captured, the transfer mechanism will be triggered immediately, and the books inside will be instantly teleported to another hidden location. They will not remain in the original place."

Naisha also explained to Lige the actions of the Holy Sword Church, which undoubtedly left more ways out compared to the Empire.

There is no way. The former is a country. Once the royal palace falls, it means that the country is about to be destroyed. It is better to destroy the royal library. After all, there must be many shameful state secrets in it.

The latter does not need to be so cruel. Even if there are some secrets inside, they will not involve the country, the ethnic group, or even the entire source. At most, it will involve its own rise and fall. It is of course better to transfer it than to destroy it directly.

Different positions and statuses will naturally lead to different approaches.

"I think the library of the Great Saint Palace should not have a self-destruction program set. It may still be there, but it has either been moved or hidden and has not been discovered."

Beiludi expressed her opinion seriously.

"Move or hide?" Li Ge's eyes lit up slightly, and he nodded, saying, "In that case, let's find a way to see if the library of the Great Saint Palace is still hidden here."

"...This should be difficult to do, right?" Mello said with a wry smile: "If a library of the same level as the imperial family really chooses to protect it in a hidden way, then this hiding method is definitely very clever."

If he wasn't smart, the library would have been discovered by Lige's monsters long ago.

No, it should be said that if the hiding method of the Great Sage Palace library was not clever, it would have been infected by the poisonous hand of the abyss long ago, without Lige having to find it.

Now, eleven thousand years have passed, and it may be questionable whether it is still alive.

"No matter what, it's good to have a goal. The worst thing is to have no goal." Li Ge clapped his hands to attract the attention of the girls, and said with a smile: "Let's look for it first. It would be best if we can find it. Otherwise, we can talk about it later."

"""yes!"""

Melo, Naisha and Beiludi immediately perked up.

They don't want to just wait and watch like this anymore.

If they can help Lige, they are willing to do it no matter what it is.

Since there's no way to fight, it's always possible to find something, right?
So, after greeting each other, the four of them dispersed on the spot and began to look for the library that might be hidden in the back hall.

…………

Among the four people present, three of them are professionals in finding things... no, it should be said that they have some feasible means.

Needless to say, after knowing the direction, Lige directly cancelled the summoning of angels and other monsters, and instead summoned exploration monsters with special abilities such as exploration. While instructing the monsters to search, he used intelligence magic to conduct reconnaissance and inspection.

As a magician, Naisha also mastered some similar magics. She also used magic reconnaissance as the main means and wandered around in the back hall.

Berluti relied more on her skills, her eyesight, and the various experiences she had accumulated during her travels to find the hidden locations of the libraries.

Only Melo was completely at a loss after losing his sword and equipment.

As a pure swordsman, Mello does not have any exploration or reconnaissance abilities. At most, he knows some means of premonition of crises and some warning abilities.

It would be a bit difficult for her to search for the library that might be hidden in the Great Saint Palace without any help.

With no other options, Melo could only borrow a few exploration monsters from Lige and take them to find the hidden library.

The four of them used their own methods to turn the entire back hall upside down, digging deep into the ground to find the library that might be hidden here.

This search lasted for several hours.

By the time it was almost dark in the Source World, the four of them had still gained nothing and found nothing.

In other words, what they found had nothing to do with the library that might be hidden here.

Mello found an armory that was also hidden, and took out a high-quality sword and a set of usable equipment. He also brought a magic wand and a crystal ball for Naisha.

Naisha found some alchemical dolls and precious magic props, and just like Lige had found before, she also found a lot of gold and silver treasures.

Belluti found a lot of keys, which seemed to be used to open some rooms in the side halls and the main hall, but now they are useless.

Lige...Lige did find the book.

Unfortunately, those books are not very serious...

"...How can this kind of book last for 11,000 years without decaying?"

Lige began to doubt whether the predecessors of the Reinnail clan had really saved the world.

For a book to last for so long without rotting, it must have either been cast with a powerful preservation magic or be made of some special paper material.

As a result, this method was actually used to preserve several books with less serious contents?

Are you seniors feeling so lonely and unbearable in this Great Sage Palace?

Did I think wrong before? In fact, the imperial family or nobles don't care about the blood of the Reinnaier family at all? They didn't send princesses or noble ladies to the savior...?
Even if not, there must be a few pretty maids in such a big palace, right?
As the savior, wouldn't these lowly maids rush to the bed with just a wave of his hand?
No wonder Reinnaier was destroyed. It felt like it was not just because they were targeted, but also because the predecessors were not good enough. They couldn't even fulfill the important task of branching out. No one else could do that...

For a while, Li Ge kept complaining and feeling resentful in his heart.

until……

"Your Mightiness!"

Beiludi suddenly appeared at the other end of the corridor. After seeing Lige, she ran towards this side quickly.

Li Ge, who had just been complaining in his heart about his senior's immorality, now fell silent.

There was no way, Beiludi had a lot of money, and now she was wearing loose home clothes, and the scene of her jogging all the way here was simply earth-shaking...

"what happened?"

Lige quickly sorted out the bad thoughts in his mind, and sighed in his heart that he had been seduced by the two nymph girls for too long, and had been holding it back for too long, and now he was showing signs of about to lose his temper, while he quickly approached Beiludi.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency..."

Beiludi seemed to have been looking for Lige for a long time. When she ran to Lige, her breathing was so heavy...

But when Lige's eyes moved downwards uncontrollably, a word from Beiluti made him shudder on the spot.

“I found the library!”

…………

Half an hour later, Lige and his group of four gathered together again.

However, they did not gather in the rear hall, but, led by Belluddi, came to the courtyard behind the rear hall.

This place is deeper than the rear hall, and it can also be said to be the deepest part of the entire Great Saint Palace.

Surprisingly, the library that Belluti found seemed to be here.

"It's not in the back hall, but in the backyard?"

Melo was very surprised by this.

"That tree..."

Naisha noticed a tall dead tree in the courtyard.

This place is just like other places, everything is in ruins, except for that tree, which is still rooted in the ground and standing tall.

Beiludi pointed at the dead tree and spoke to everyone in a pure and gentle voice.

"I have seen this kind of tree among the tree people."

"According to my tree man friend who received me at the time, this is an ancient tree species called Sambia. It is one of the oldest tree plants that have been discovered or confirmed to exist in the entire source."

"It has an extremely rare and extraordinary quality."

"It seems that there is a space growing inside it."
