Male Succubus Apocalypse

Chapter 21 Library

Jincheng Library is the largest and most luxurious national library located in the city center.

A rectangular horizontal building, three stories high and as long as four ordinary storefronts. As for the specific area it occupies, it is hard to imagine.

There were only two symbolic guards guarding the door. The entire library had been given a magical boost, and the real guarding force was the magicians hidden inside.

Magic books are not displayed to the public here, and only members of the Mages Guild have the right to borrow them.

Xu Heng didn't consider this point, he just came to read some general books.

People came and went at the door, including citizens, magicians, and people of all races. Xu Heng naturally blended in with them.

The first floor is open to the public free of charge, the second floor requires a good borrowing record, and the third floor is the precious book collection area, which requires additional indicators.

As soon as you enter the library, you can see twelve book registration counters. Even though there are so many people, there are still queues.

Xu Heng walked in naturally. The bookshelves were as tall as two people, with ladders next to them, crisscrossing like a maze. The sides of the bookshelves were marked with the type of books so that people could find them.

There is actually a free borrowing guide at the door, but for Xu Heng, coming to the library is just for wandering around, and occasionally seeing a book he likes is a surprise.

There are a wide variety of books, both those seen and those not seen before, and the road of knowledge leads to all directions. Xu Heng feels that he is in the palace of knowledge.

The next second, Xu Heng saw a familiar name on a book - "Alchemy: The Art of Explosion", written by "Aaron Meaney".

"Wait, no way, is this old man Aaron researching explosives?" Xu Heng was surprised and quickly took it down to read it. Although it was full of terms and principles that he couldn't understand, he could understand that his guess was correct.

Aaron seems to be the "Father of Explosives" of the Roen Empire, and is one of the heroes who enabled the Roen Empire's war strength to reach a transcendent level a hundred years after the bloody battle.

"Nobel from another world, tsk tsk." Xu Heng put down the book and muttered to himself. Now he became more curious about other people.

It feels like watching a TV series and seeing your roommate appear on the show.

I came to the mechanical area and searched around. In a "special zone", I found the complete mechanical book of the dwarf "Berhan Addington", including "On Magic Power and Mechanics", "Methods for Solving the Conflict between Magic Circuits and Mechanical Kinetic Energy", "On Magical Machinery Craftsmanship", "On Artifact Forging" and a conspicuous "The Enlightener of the Divine Machinery Azov".

This place is filled with books written by Borhan and his biography, which are far more than those on Aaron's side. It is not difficult to understand that Borhan is a dwarf with a long life, while Aaron is just a human, and their backgrounds are different.

"Xu Heng, the old dwarf you mentioned before participated in a bloody battle two hundred years ago and was also one of the founders of magical mechanics." Julie said when she saw Xu Heng staring at her in astonishment.

"Hiss——, these two old guys are actually warmongers..." Xu Heng took a breath of cold air.

"Yes, but who wants to put all their inventions and creations into war? It's often just a last resort. No wonder they like your designs that can benefit the people. Perhaps such designs are what they yearn for." As an old antique, Julie has a very insightful view of personality, which is a result of the depth of experience of an old person.

"Hey, this is the latest edition of the book, 'Focus on Life'. Why is the name so different from other books? Wait, why is my name also included in the signature?" Xu Heng walked to a book and said in confusion and surprise.

Before the book, the author marked: "Xu Heng", "Bernard Addington".

"Take it down and have a look." Xu Heng did it without Julie saying anything. He opened the first page, which was a preface about thanks, describing the story of how Bohan met a young and talented young man by chance.

The locations and Vivian herself in the story are all obscured.

There is a sentence in it that says: "We craftsmen devote ourselves to the workshop, to the sea of ​​books, to practice, but we never stop to see where we are going, never stop hammering to hug our families, never stop working to enjoy our lives,

Because of this, we have missed a lot of love and happiness, and at the same time we have lost the most important inspiration and intellect. If you want to ask how important these two things are to invention and creation, then after reading this book, you will have an answer. "

There is also a very clear thank you below: "To the young scholar who taught me an important lesson, thank you for giving me the most important insights in my life and freeing me from the shadow of war, my friend and respected teacher - Mr. Xu Heng!"

"No, I just gave some drawings. How can you be my teacher? Am I that great?" Xu Heng was a little confused.

"The language of birds is chirping, and the language of scholars is articles and inventions. The original intention of people like them is to benefit the people and even the whole world, but in the end they find that what they bring is the most killing, and it is difficult to develop other things. Your design may be their comfort." Julie answered Xu Heng's question with empathy.

"Oh, you are a spiritual mentor who can understand people's hearts?" Xu Heng was surprised and said sarcastically.

"Not really. It's just that when I dissect someone's soul, I can know what's going on in their heart and subconscious mind."

"Okay, I take it back. You are a heinous criminal!"

After arguing for a while, Xu Heng walked around and saw a row of history bookshelves. On them were biographies of people, big and small, from all walks of life, written by different people. It was astonishing.

But the existence of such a partition shows the library managers' intentions.

On it, Xu Heng suddenly saw two books that made him laugh - "The Witch Who Intimidates the World: Vivian Misolles", "The Genius Devil? Approaching Vivian Misolles", and "The Past and Present Life of the Ultimate Space-Time Mage".

It’s not over yet, there are more highlights, "Shadows of the World: Julie Alera" (probably written by the same person as Vivian’s first biography) and "Horror! Soul Weaver".

"Hahahaha! Oh my god! Julie! Your reputation is really bad!" Xu Heng covered his mouth and laughed secretly. After all, it was a library and he wanted to keep quiet as much as possible, but he really couldn't help it.

"So what? This is a compliment to the necromancer. Your master is not much better!" Julie said unconvinced. "These books are all pornographic. There is no value in reading them. The people who wrote them cannot face us directly. At most, they can make inferences based on our incident. It's no different from gossip!"

"Okay, okay! I'd like to see some of your gossip! Haha!" Xu Heng was even happier. When he was about to take it amid Julie's noise, he glanced at another book.

The Biography of Soma Lorist

There is actually a biography of her? Xu Heng remembered that Soma was the name Clara often called.

If you stretch it out and take it, it seems that the author of the biography specifically looks for famous people of level seven or eight to write the biographies, and it is also easier to interview them. On the inside pages of the book, there is an introduction to the author's other books.

"The vampire?"

"Um……"

Xu Heng said to Julie in his mind that he might as well take this book. It is very important to know both yourself and your enemy. Then he moved away from the biographies and looked for other books.

Later, I found a book called "Elf Branch Q&A" about customs, and found a lobby in the library center and started reading. I planned to go to the black market in the evening and listen to Julie.

It's not scary if he walks alone, because he has a slime bodyguard with him!

Through books, Xu Heng learned that the elves also live in a matriarchal society. This is because the concept of class among elves is vague, resources are relatively equal, and female elves have higher magical talents and higher status, which naturally laid the foundation for a matriarchal society.

However, the experience of male elves is different from that of male succubus. In the forest elf system, the status of male elves is equal to that of female elves, but the queen serves as the leader of the tribe.

The Moon Elves are a country with strict discipline and organization, and even have their own laws. There is no queen in the standard sense. It is a political system similar to the parliamentary system, but women generally possess a more powerful "moon power" - an illusion ability exclusive to the Moon Elves.

Dark elves are similar to female succubi, and they rule over all males with force and practice polyandry. However, because dark elf males are an important close combat force, their status is not lower than that of male succubi.

In terms of the combat power of the three parties, the strongest is still the most orthodox forest elves. Their queen often has the combat power of the tenth level. Coupled with the secret treasures passed down by the elves, they have no problem resisting the gods. What's more, this ancient race has given birth to many gods.

The elves are not easy to mess with.

But the more Xu Heng looked at the elven men, the more uncomfortable he felt. It turned out that the level of status and the amount of power ultimately depended on the value of ability and the possession of resources by the class.

But how come everyone lives better than the male succubus?

Female elves can "marry male elves", and the book talks about the equal relationship between male and female elves that is different from that in general society.

It is a division of labor, not a distribution based on gender. Whoever is better at housework will do it, and whoever is better at fighting will take on the defensive work.

In this world that values ​​individual combat effectiveness, the strong binding relationship between rights and obligations is particularly evident.

Xu Heng thought that if there was a chance, he could go to the elf realm and see if he could learn some illusion spells from the moon elves. Maybe they would be suitable for the male succubus?

I briefly read the book about elves, which is not very thick. Now I will start to read the books about Soma.

It's a bit of a voyeuristic weird feeling.

The book here is also not thick, it is a relatively simple and concise book.

At this point, Xu Heng asked Julie a question: "Are there more or fewer strong people in our abyss than on the surface?"

After a moment's silence, Julie said, "Actually there are many, many more, but you can't read them in books. Who dares to go to the abyss? Not to mention that if you go, you might be killed by the subject you are writing about. In addition, the surface and the abyss are at loggerheads. Apart from war, no one can really count who is in the abyss, or who else is there."

In the myths of another world - or should it be history, it is said that the God of Creation created two pantheons, one light and one dark, which then gave rise to different races. However, the dark pantheon was brutal and selfish, and so were its races, who often wanted to enslave the light pantheon or even replace the God of Creation.

Eventually, he was suppressed by the God of Light and the God of Creation and sealed into another dimension, and the Supreme God of Darkness fell and turned into a will of resentment - an unimaginable death energy, the so-called Will of the Abyss.

"But overall, the Abyss is much stronger than the surface, right?"

"Indeed, if all the races on the surface do not unite, there will be no chance of winning against the Abyss. After all, every demon in the Abyss is a master of killing a lot and is the best material for the Undead."

"So do I need to go back to the abyss to practice?"

"Don't you have a piece of land over there? With Vivian backing you up, of course you can do it. However, the one in the abyss may not get along with your master."

"That one?"

"At present, he may be the number one person under God, the Silent Demon. He is a powerful person who suddenly appeared in the War of Nations. Why do you think the Abyss did not launch an attack on the surface at that time? Only those of us who are at the Tenth and Ninth Levels know."

"why?"

"That terrifying guy was trying to integrate the entire Abyss at the time. It's hard to say what the result would be, but judging from the fact that the Abyss later inexplicably began to seduce the powerful people on the surface, maybe... I mean maybe, there may be a new king in the Abyss now."

"Ah? Don't lie to me!"

At the beginning, they have to survive in a hellishly difficult alien world. The various races in the abyss originally disliked each other. No matter how strong they were, they were just a group of scattered sand. They only occasionally took advantage of the chaos on the surface to cooperate for the sake of profit, and then quickly turned against each other and stabbed each other in the back.

But once they are integrated, even if only a symbolic alliance emerges and they can launch a war on the surface in an organized and disciplined manner, it will be an unimaginable disaster.

"What are you afraid of? If they really wanted to attack, they would have attacked long ago. It wouldn't have taken two hundred years for them to take action. Why didn't they attack while the surface was still recovering? Do they want to start a war now when all races are gradually becoming stronger?" Julie said with a hint of smile in her tone.

"That's fine, but why?" Xu Heng couldn't figure it out.

"I don't know, so I just said maybe."

"Do you think it's possible that not all demons want to start a war?"

"You must be joking. Demon, do you know what a demon is? Aren't you a demon?"

"Yeah, do you think I'm willing to fight?"

"Hiss, you are indeed very different..."

Let's not talk about it anymore. Xu Heng should just read a book - because he doesn't really know much about demons, because he is a reincarnated one. If you insist that male succubi don't have any bad intentions, maybe they are just in a weak position? Xu Heng is not sure.

After being enslaved for a long time, Xu Heng did not come into contact with many different kinds of demons. As for female succubi, needless to say, no matter how charming and beautiful they were, to him they were just ghosts in disguise.

As for the fire demons, I only had some contact with them and felt that they had low IQ, were warlike, and were stupid.

Not much is known about the rest.

The good news is that at least there will be no war now - if Julie's judgment is correct - so he doesn't have to think too much, but it brings him invisible pressure.

To become stronger, at least become able to protect yourself.

He began to understand why so many people in this world had never thought about anything other than becoming stronger. Not only were there barriers from other races, but there were also the abyss demons and undead lords coveting their power outside the earth.

Then let's see what Soma is like first...

The more Xu Heng read the book, the more he felt that demons were not necessarily all cruel, because Soma was precisely a decent demon, even though Xu Heng knew that vampires were a little different from other demons.

But there is an example, that shows that not all demons are cruel, right? Imagine that in such an environment of resource shortage and intrigue, it is difficult for demons not to be evil. And although the history books say that demons invaded the light gods in ancient times, the demons are described as ugly and tyrannical.

However, history is written by storytellers to serve certain political purposes. Xu Heng has not experienced it, so he dare not say that he believes it. He should look up the history of demons and make a comparison.
