"Ray...Raymond..." Walker's trembling voice grabbed Raymond's sleeve sideways with one hand, "I'm hallucinating."

"Not a hallucination."

"That, that, that...then these students are really floating?!" The suppressed voice could not hide its sharpness, "Is there... is there... a ghost?" Walker has never seen the ghosts that people often talk about. Although the master also said that the theory of ghosts and gods is just nonsense and foolishness, those rumored stories about ghosts are still deeply remembered in my mind-in fact, the tone is more frightening than frightening.Dozens of people stayed in the air out of thin air, or floated around; their mouths opened and closed, but the entire tower was completely silent.Such a strange situation really frightened him. Is this a library tower or a ghost building?

"Pfft! Cough cough...hehe."

A burst of laughter suddenly sounded behind him, Walker almost jumped up, turned around and said, "Fern!"

Fern grinned big, raised his right hand and waved, "Yo, Valk."

"This, this... here... is..."

"Well, this is the library building." Fern quickly glanced at Raymond next to Valk, and took two steps forward to narrow the distance, "It's not the ghost building. Everyone is still alive and well, Valk can't curse them."

"But, they..." Pointing at the "supernatural phenomenon" with one hand, Valk looked puzzled.

"Well, the bad taste of the designer. Come on, follow me and you will know."

Walker, who was undecided, followed Fern obediently, walking forward step by step.After taking a few steps, the sense of solidity under his feet suddenly disappeared, and Valk's heartbeat stopped. He looked down and saw that his feet... were moving away from the ground quickly and steadily...

"Crack!" With a muffled sound, Walker slapped Raymond's forearm with his right hand and held it firmly.Even though his body didn't feel shaking, this inexplicable and unsteady situation still made Valker feel uneasy.

Fern turned his head and took a look, with a bright smile on his face, "Haha, don't be nervous, don't be nervous, it's a fresh experience! In this way, Valker, you are also a 'ghost'."

"Huh?" Valk was taken aback for a moment, then moved his eyes down, looked at Fern's floating feet, and then at the current situation of himself and Raymond, "Ah, floating. Is there a magic circle carved on the ground?"

"Yeah, that's right." Fern nodded with a smile on his face. After stopping steadily, he pointed to himself and then to the bookcase behind him, "Welcome to the first floor of the library tower."

Walker looked around, and sure enough, he saw a few people floating at the same height as him, holding books and looking down with a calm expression, or leaning in front of the bookcase to find the books he needed.Looking up, pairs of soles are moving above him, but the owner of the shoes is an indistinct white mist... Damn, who designed this!A complete picture of ghosts and ghosts!

"Ah, that's for privacy protection." Fern followed Walker's line of sight, "You know, women like to wear skirts. And there is noise-cancelling magic on everyone, and people who are one meter away can't hear us Conversation, the library building is quite quiet."

"I see." Putting away his tangled expression, Walker immediately remembered his "shameful" behavior just now, turned his head and smiled at Raymond, let go of his tightly clenched hands, "I'm sorry." Nodding expressionlessly.

"Well, if you want to go up, it's very simple. Step on the spot three times in a row and you'll go up. If you want to go down, tap the bookcase three times in a row." Under the watchful eyes, it floated up rapidly, and after two seconds, except for the feet, it turned into a white ball.

"Raymond," Walker said after looking at it for a while, "the person who designed the library must be lazy." He didn't like to climb stairs.

"Valker~" Fern came back quickly, "I can't see the top here at first glance, in fact, the school has not clearly stated how many floors there are. Only when the strength passes the test, the magic circle is allowed to go to the upper floor Well, after all, it is the only academy of magic in the mainland, and probably only here can have such a rich collection."

"Fern is very familiar with this place." Walker was a little puzzled. He and Fern met in the basic magic class. Logically speaking, Fern should also be a freshman. Freshmen can only enter the library tower in the second year. , but Fern seems very familiar with this place.

"Haha, isn't that strange?" Fern looked smug, and approached Walker, "Actually..." He dragged the end of his voice mysteriously, "This time, the tutor left after the public basic class on the first day of school and came back with We came to visit, Walker, you left every time after class, and when all the instructors came back later, you had already left and missed it.”

"That's it." Walker nodded clearly. After finding out that he didn't like this noble school, he could be said to have completely divorced from the group, and let Raymond take him away as soon as any class was over.

"Speaking of which, Valk is also very powerful." Fern stood up and said with emotion, "It disappeared in an instant."

"Raymond is very strong." Walker's lips curled up in an affirmative tone.Then the voice changed, "But as you know, Fern, our principle there is to stay away from trouble. I don't like it here, there are troubles everywhere."

"Hey..." Fern's bright smile froze for a moment, and he quickly recovered, "Valker, we are here now, we should adapt to the environment. It's not good to be so afraid of trouble, are you going to continue like this in the future? Are you Still have to be here for a few more years.”

Valk stared at his former friend, blinking his eyes until Fern's sunshine was about to last, then he tilted his head and replied, "Fern, this place is not suitable for me, and I don't like it either. Honestly, I'm not going to stay until graduation, and the certification here doesn't make sense to me."

"It doesn't make sense?!" The voice suddenly rose, and the instantly gloomy face showed the master's displeasure.Fern, who kept smiling carefreely, stared at Valk with wide eyes, "You said it's meaningless?" He stepped forward and stretched out his hand as if to grab Valk's collar, but Raymond blocked him Can't move forward.

"Valker, it's a miracle that people like us who came from a small place want to enter here, and it's a miracle that we can enter, and you said it's meaningless! Do you know how much I paid to have the opportunity to enter here! Don't you That's right! Why give up, why don't you learn to adapt! We have left that small place, and now we belong here!" Fern waved his arms excitedly, as if to open something blocking him, "No Do you like it here? Do you want to go back there? Back to such a mediocre life, back to such a life of always being bullied by outsiders?"

"F... Fern?"

With his arms hanging down his legs and his fists tightly clenched, Fern gritted his teeth and looked at Walker disappointedly, "Why, why did you say that! We are obviously different from them, aren't we?"

Why?Valk's lips parted slightly in surprise, and...he sighed lightly as if he had realized it, so it was like this.Unwilling to be mediocre, unwilling to be inferior to others, longing for power and high position.Oh, oh, it's a pity, he really doesn't understand their persistence.

In Walker's opinion, a perfect life is a life with enough food, clothing and warmth without troubles.Whether it is following the master or the parents in this life, they have taken good care of him; whether it is in the present or in the previous life, he has never had troubles in life.He has never suffered any misfortune because of his status as a poor man, nor will he be dissatisfied with this status.On the contrary, because he traveled around with his master and saw a lot of what the so-called royal nobles did, he didn't have a good impression of the powerful class.

Naturally, he had seen those people struggling on the verge of life and death because of poverty, but he always had only some pity for them.Because he doesn't understand and hasn't experienced those pains, so he can't empathize deeply, and can't give understanding.

"Fern, I am different from them, but also different from you, and different from the people here." Walker looked at the excited Fern and said slowly, "I like a free life, that is my ideal And pursuit. The life I need is different from yours, and the students here will not have much to do with my future life."

"How could it be! Valk, you don't understand..."

"I understand what I need, and that's enough. Fern, thank you for today. I'll treat you to a snack next time. My chef is doing a great job." He sneaked a glance at Raymond and smiled at Fern. Nodded, "See you next time." He took three steps on the ground with his left foot, and dragged Raymond up to the upper floor together.All he cares about is himself, so he only needs to follow his own wishes and do what he wants to do; what do other people's affairs, pursuits and ideals have anything to do with him?

"On the thirteenth floor, there is a travel diary on the mainland. When you were a child, you said that you wanted to travel all over the mainland." Fern lowered his head and let out a muffled voice, "Goodbye...Valker." Goodbye...

"Hey, thank you." Walker, who only heard the first half of the sentence, smiled, waved at Fern, and began to float all the way to the upper floor. "Second floor, third floor...tenth floor, eleventh floor, huh?" He saw that the place where Raymond should be standing was empty, "Raymond can't come up." Patted the bookcase and returned to the tenth floor. As expected, I saw Raymond standing there, "Raymond, wait here for me to get off." Just after finishing speaking, Raymond floated up again before he could react. "The thirteenth floor... is here."

Holding on to the bookcase and shaking his feet for a long time, his eyes began to scan the books in front of him.

"Hey? "The History of the Ancient Continent"? History? Well, "Secret Realm" seems to be good... "Encyclopedia of Warcraft", popular science books? Hmm~mm, they are all miscellaneous books. There is such a floor in the library tower that distributes such books. But it seems that there is no profession of adventurer, and the collection is rich."

Walker glanced at the books while walking, muttering to himself, "It looks good, but the library tower only allows viewing and not lending out, what a pity." After turning this floor, "It seems that the floor area is getting smaller as you go up. I don't know how many floors there are..." Suddenly, strong curiosity arose, "I don't know how many floors I can reach."
