Chapter 47 (2/2)
Walking inside the library, he saw a huge s.p.a.ce where many rows of bookshelves were standing and within those bookshelves, there were many books. There was a counter next to the entrance, and a 17 or 18 years old young girl was busily registering the books to lend.
Ren Tianyou walked towards the counter, spoke to that girl, “h.e.l.lo, my name is Ren Tianyou and I am newly-arrived student. Can you tell me a brief introduction about this library?”
After finis.h.i.+ng her work, she lifted her head and she discovered a young man dressed in a strange clothing was standing in front of her, then she said, “My name is Xie Tingting, are you a new student?”
“He he, yes. Can you tell me a general information on this library, please?”
“No problem. This library have all together 5 floor and each floor contains different books. 1stfloor contains some miscellaneous writings about the incidents of this continent, history books and other similar books. 2nd floor and above contains manual books of battle qi, illusion and magic. But the stairs leading to this floor have a barrier. Only the person having enough strength can pa.s.s through. You should have at least the strength of great swordsman level to enter 2ndfloor. To enter 3rd floor, you should have the strength of Swordmaster. To enter 4th floor, you should have the strength of Saint Level. And finally 5th floor is restricted area, without the permission of dean and vice-dean, no one can enter.” Xie Tingting sat on the stool and slowly explained to Ren Tianyou.
“To borrow the books, you must register the book from me first. The books of 1st floor can be borrowed for 7 days. 2nd floor books for 3 days. And it is forbidden to take away the books from 3rd floor and above. And the books must be returned within the stipulated time.”
“So it is like that. May I ask, is there any particular book you recommend which introduce all the big incidents of Divine wind continent?” Currently he didn’t want any secret manuals, he was more interested on finding the book about all the big incident of this continent, so that he could clearly understand this Divine wind continent. After all, the original owner ‘Ximen Tianlong’ also never before left imperial capital of Aile Empire. So he was also not too clear on the affairs of this continent.
“You can read ‘chronological history of continent’ book. This book is at the 5th row of bookshelf no. 3 in the 1st floor. You can go and look for it.” Xie Tingting recommended the book to Ren Tianyou.
“Thank you very much.” Ren Tianyou thanked her, the turned around and walked towards the bookshelves. After he arrived before bookshelf no. 3, he found ‘chronological history of continent’ book on the fourth row of that bookshelf. This was extremely thick book. He estimated that it would take several days to finish reading this book.
He took out ‘chronological history of continent’ book from the bookshelf, and placed it on his hand. Then he again he carefully looked through the remaining books in other bookshelves. Finally in the bookshelf no. 7, he discovered the book named ‘5 great danger spot of continent’. He took out that book too, then he walked towards the entrance. Arriving before Xie Tianting, he handed these 2 books to her and said, “I want to borrow these 2 books.”
Hearing Ren Tianyou, Xie Tingting brought those books in front of herself and said, “Take out your student card.”
Ren Tianyou took out his student card from his ninja backpack and handed it to Xie Tingting. Then she took out a register card of those 2 books, after a while, registration was complete. Xie Tingting again picked up an item from the side desk which resemble a stamp, then turned over the 2 books. On the bottom right of the back of the book, there was a small-sized purple colored pattern seal. There was a light fluctuation of magic from this seal.
This was a special magic formation to prevent students from stealing the books. If someone tries to take out any book from the library entrance without registration first, then this magic formation on this book would release an ear-piercing screech. As there is also a magic formation on the entrance of library, and magic formation of all the books resonance with it, and when they are within a certain range with each other, an ear-piercing screech will rang out. Only that special alchemy item in the hand of Xie Tingting can temporary suppress the magic formation of the books.
Xie Tingting used that item and placed a mark above that purple seal of the books. Then she handed back the student card along with those 2 books to Ren Tianyou and said, “Well, now you can take away these 2 books. Remember to return the books within stipulated time, otherwise you will be punished. Furthermore, do not damage these 2 books.”
“OK, I got it. Thanks a lot.” Ren Tianyou thanked and then took those 2 books and walked towards his dormitory. Since he borrowed the books, it’s necessary to take a good look at these book.
