Heaven’s Intention

However, Romon didn't ask. Now he is a little tired of the constant work.

For several days in a row, the weather has been gloomy. According to the shopkeeper's prediction, a huge cold storm is coming, which will officially enter the long winter in this northern land.

Romon didn't have a problem with this, he found a new place - the library.

This city happened to be the location of a famous large library, which surprised Romon, and of course there was no reason to give up.

At this time, Romon was walking in the library, and the silver adventurer common in the mainland had already qualified him to enter the library.

The style of the library is thick and simple. The surrounding main structure is made of marble, and there are reliefs carved on the walls. Rows of bookshelves are full of books.

Glass windows, sometimes between the gaps in the dark clouds, there will be a faint sunlight slanting in.

After entering, a girl came out to greet her. It's not very beautiful, but it has a unique temperament, similar to the scholarly demeanor on earth.

Sir, is this your first time here? The girl looked at Romon and said.

Yes, it's my first time here. Romon realized that this girl was not simple, she might have a level 2 Mage.

Sir, let me introduce to you. The library is divided into five floors. The first floor contains general geography, customs, and historical records, as well as some stories and legends. You can read them for free.

The second layer is valuable professional knowledge, which is usually the refinement of the first layer. To read it on the second layer, you must pay the price of one copper coin. If you want to take it away, you must pay a deposit of 50 silver coins, and Pay 5 copper coins for a day's price. The girl said.

Luo Meng understood this very well, and he asked: Then there must be a backup on the second floor, otherwise the Tibetan copy will be lost sometimes?

This question is rarely asked, the girl glanced at Romon in surprise, hesitated for a moment, and then answered: Yes!

Then let's go up and have a look. Romon said.

The library is very quiet, and there is a priest of the God of Knowledge patrolling inside. No one dared to make noise.

Romon went up to the second floor. Due to the cloudy sky, there was a magic lamp. This kind of magic lamp, which Romon had obtained before, could light up for 12 hours as long as it was injected with magic power.

magic rays,

It is bright but not dazzling, illuminating the second floor, the whole space is very quiet, only a few people are checking and reading the content.

Romon began to check the books, basically only looking at the names and a little bit of the content. After a while, he smiled.

Very good. Most of them are books that I didn't get. It doesn't matter if a small part is repeated. You can add a batch of new books to the family library. Romon thought.

By the way, transcribing is allowed here? Romon smiled and asked, Can you hire someone to transcribe?

The girl's eyes lit up. Said: Of course, we provide scribes here. Each book can be transcribed within one day. The manual price is one silver coin, and the thin paper is used, which costs extra money.

Copying books is also the livelihood of many people, but when the evil disaster breaks out, their situation is very difficult.

Romon sighed. In this world, papermaking has been invented. Although the quality of the paper is not high, and it cannot afford the paper for spells - parchment must be used for spells.

But this is progress of the times.

How many books are there on the second floor?

A total of 6,427 volumes. The girl replied without hesitation.

Give me a copy of all of them. Romon said, and reported the address: I hope to finish it within a week. If it is not finished, you can give me your backup books first.

Sir, are you sure? The girl was obviously taken aback.

Sure.

Sir, it is estimated that the total cost will be around 17,000 silver coins. You can start by paying 15,000 silver coins first. The girl thought for a while and gave the number.

Seventeen thousand silver coins, equivalent to seventeen hundred gold coins, Romon nodded without hesitation, and said, I'll pay you later, let's go to the third floor first!

Sir, the third floor is controlled books, you must be a nobleman or a mage to enter.

Tenth-level druid, can you? Romon showed the druid's mark.

...Of course. Your Excellency, please come in. The girl's attitude became more respectful.

On the third floor, there are of course many fewer books. What makes Romon happy is that there is even a map of this country.

Can the books here be transcribed?

Of course, most of the books here are books about strength and skills, but some books can only be copied by at least a magic apprentice, and the price is five times more expensive.

Hiss... five times more expensive! Luo Meng looked at this girl suspiciously, suspecting that she wanted to kill him.

Your Excellency, the books here are practical and bring power. Although they are superficial to you, they are also power. In addition to transcribing by magic apprentices, of course they cannot be compared with ordinary scribes. The price is very high. It's fair. The girl saw what Romon was thinking and said.

...Okay then, how much does it cost to transcribe here?

If you transcribe all of them. There are about 2,140 copies here, and the total price is about 25,000 silver coins.

Okay, let's copy them all! Romon waved his hand.

The girl showed an excited smile. As a result, all the magic apprentices in the city have jobs to do.

In fact, she did kill Romon. There are 2,100 copies here, but in fact there are only about 300 copies. Only magic apprentices can copy them. Everything else is the same as the second floor.

What about the fourth floor? Romon asked.

At this time, the girl stopped smiling. She thought for a while and said: On the fourth floor, you can go up to watch, but you can't transcribe. On the fifth floor, if you are a tenth-level druid in your country, you can go up, but you are not. I'm sorry, you just Can't go up.

Halo, still has the awareness of knowledge protection, Luo Meng smiled and said: Then you can count the second and third floors in detail, by the way, also copy the novels on the first floor, and all the statistics are completed. Report it to me and I'll pay...I'm going to read it on the fourth floor now, is that all right?

Transcribing not only requires manual labor, but also calculates the consumption of paper and ink. These must be counted, and such a large number must be reported by the girl to the higher-ups.

The girl nodded and said, Go up, I will report to you when everything is finished.

Romon smiled and went up.

The fourth floor is actually similar to the third floor, except that there are some faint auras on every book. Romon scanned it and found that most of them were magic books, and only a few were druid books.

Romon was in the Druid book area, moved a chair, and leaned there to read.

Romon read it, and suddenly saw a book: The Road to Eternal Life

This name is too exaggerated, Romon picked it up and read it.

first read. Only to realize that this is more like a historical record.

Everyone wants to live forever...

...The first extension of life was in the ancient barbaric era, but there were several kings who ruled for hundreds of years with bloody and cruel methods. This was already a few years for people whose average age was only 30 years old at that time. twice as many lives.

It was only later that people discovered that this was the secret method of blood sacrifice, which was kept secret by the kings. Now, it is not surprising that it is the tripolar spell—Vampire's Touch.

The three-pole magic vampire's touch can absorb the vitality of the opponent and transform it into one's own temporary life. It's just that the ancient king can prolong it through sacrifices.

This bloody and cruel spell has its limit. It can only reach the maximum lifespan of a person, which is 120 years old. It will be rejected by the gods in the future. The effect is not good, and it will gradually die out.

...With the development of the times, it gradually divides. Both ordinary believers and pastors gain eternal life through faith—the eternal life of the soul.

But for wizards and druids, the quest for immortality continues.

The second invention is to strengthen one's body and soul. Explorers gradually discovered that priests do not have the ability to gain extra life as the level increases, but mages and druids, after the fifteenth level, each level increases , will increase some lifespan until level 20 reaches the limit, according to various records, people who reach level 20 can live to about 300 years old.

After reading this, Romon nodded. This is also the common way in the mainland.

...This longevity method, to put it bluntly, is to strengthen the quality of the soul and body so that they have a longer life span.

...It is said that those who are above the 21st level can perceive the rules and enter the realm of legend, but, for most people, they cannot break through the legend.

Therefore, after countless people's research, two methods of prolonging life have been born.

...One is to transfer the soul to another healthy and young body. Later, the mage even thought that this kind of transfer was too fragile and too troublesome, so the lich method was born.

When a druid reaches level 15, he can choose to naturalize his soul, give up his physical desire, and turn it into a natural element or elemental life, reincarnating on a certain natural level.

That's the end of the book, what an eye-opener for Romon.

You can prolong your life starting from level 15? It's really good! Romon noticed this all of a sudden: It seems that it needs to be strengthened and upgraded. By the way, the last call of the wind seemed to be in the Northland, but now When it comes to the Northland, it’s too vague, and we have to wait for the level to increase!”

The guy from this earth doesn't have any masochistic idea that life is only wonderful when it is short.

While Luomeng was thinking about it, the girl came in: Your Excellency, your total cost is 55,000 silver coins, are you willing to accept it?

Well, I'll give it to you when I get to the hotel. No one would carry so much money with them.

Romon, who came out of the library, felt a little regretful. He spent 55,000 silver coins at one time, and most of the books in the library could be transcribed.

The only problem is that it is not possible to enter and transcribe in the fifth floor.

However, it is obvious that this brings a good income to the scribes in this city, and they can survive this winter.

In October, here, autumn has come to an end, and the leaves have already fallen. (!)
