  Chapter 521 Rare and rare copy collection room (33)

  The precious and unique collection room, as the name suggests, does not need much explanation, and what can be included in it are basically very important historical originals, or some psionic classics whose contents cannot be completely reproduced due to the special structure.

   Changed to the name of the Lost Era, it is probably a magic book, a magic book—all in all, what is really important about this kind of book is not the content of the book, but the strange spiritual power attached to it.

  Theoretically speaking, Ian himself can also go to the rare and rare collection room.

  He has a reading card and a letter of introduction from a master alchemist, so it's no problem to stay for half an hour, let alone scan it directly with the silver chip.

   But when I came to the big library for the first time, I ran to this place, and I was a little too impatient.

  Ian has the patience to take his time and achieve his goal without arousing anyone's suspicion or concern. After all, he is the type of person who lays out a plan and follows it step by step, then adjusts to unexpected situations.

  However, occasionally there will be some accidents that change too much.

  For example, meet Earl Phoenix.

   "It turns out that you are the honorary curator of the Great Library, Lord Earl."

On the way to the treasure room, Ian learned from Earl Phoenix's boasting—in fact, telling the truth, at most, the old man recalled the past, but it felt like bragging in his tone—that he knew about his future after the Dark Moon turmoil. History of promotion.

Because of his meritorious service in defending the Great Library, the old man was directly promoted by the keeper of the soil to be the director of the Ancient Documents and History Bureau, responsible for managing the preservation of all relevant documents in the imperial capital. A large number of rare classics were collected from the ruins of the residences of the nobles who destroyed the clan, and Axel appointed Earl Phoenix to serve as the curator of the Great Library and the deputy minister of the Ministry of Truth.

  The deputy minister of the empire is still a heavyweight department like the Ministry of Truth, and the Earl of Phoenix is ​​a real important minister of the imperial capital.

But obviously, this is the end. Earl Phoenix can make himself unable to go further by relying on his own mouth alone, but he can be regarded as the pinnacle of technical personnel here, and then it is the field of political compromise and influence, and Kirch Although the Nev family has this background, the members of this family are somewhat unsatisfactory in terms of character.

Now, as the Earl of Phoenix is ​​getting old, although he is still in peak form, he still took the initiative to retire. Apart from retaining the post of honorary curator, he basically has no official position—but no one will be idle To provoke the old count of the Kirchnevs.

   It is precisely because of this that Ian was brought to the precious rare book collection room by the other party... All of them are precious orphans that Earl Phoenix protected from the Dark Moon turmoil back then, and they are the crystallization of his life's pride.

   In other words, as long as Earl Phoenix meets a junior with a little impression, he will bring him over to brag about himself.

   Of course Ian was very cooperative, and even 100% sincerely praised the great achievements of the earl. This is not acting, he really thinks what the other party has done is great.

In Ian's description, the Earl of Phoenix is ​​simply the savior of the imperial capital's academic circles, the preserver of human civilization, the patron saint of all books and libraries, and even the old earl, who originally planned to listen to flattery and relax for a night, feels that It was a bit too much, I couldn't help coughing twice, and shouted to stop.

   "It's passed, it's passed, I'm not that great."

The old earl waved his hand, but even Frost Butterfly could see his brow raised in joy: "Let's take a look at these books—although the contents of many books have lost their value due to the passage of time and become Antiques surpassed by modern alchemy, but sometimes, ancient knowledge has value, and its meaning is to prove the path we have traveled."

"I have always believed that even the most insignificant book needs to be respected. That is what the author said to all future generations of readers. Of course, if you don't respect the reader's book, just write something that doesn't matter. Respect is mutual."

  Even Earl Phoenix, who is often violent, speaks quite seriously when it comes to the thing he loves, which makes Ian nod his head in agreement.

  Afterwards, Ian began to look around the collection room, which was neither big nor small.

The rare and rare book collection room is quite simple at first glance, but if you look carefully, you can see that each book is fixed in its original position by a set of solidified inscriptions. If there is no relevant inscription key, even the second-level peak Don't even think about destroying even a little sawdust here.

   On the ground, there is a thick layer of hand-woven carpet with quite exquisite patterns. But if someone really thinks that this is an ordinary carpet, they are wrong. The prophetic vision told Ian that this thing is a psionic creation of the second energy level. The psychic creations of 'Fuzzy Fury' will come to life, becoming impossibly tough prisons, holding the destroyer in place.

  Similarly, all kinds of protective measures are everywhere, from bookcases, transparent glass windows and overhead lights, all of which contain mystery.

   But what really attracts attention are the books themselves.

""Thirty-two Legends", an ancient manuscript recording thirty-two natural disasters and major events in the lost era? "Abyss Sacrificial Text", what is so weird... Oh, the virtual world communication manual... "Jade Record"! The oldest alchemy Rubbings of ancient books! Aha! It’s "Legend of the Seven Sages" and "The Melting Pot"! I remember that this should be the earliest book of praise of prophets and prophecy of natural disasters!"

   Just a quick glance, Ian found a lot of treasures, even he has heard of it, but he has never seen a single piece of ancient books.

Some of them are just pure myths and legends, or are recorded in ancient documents, but there are also some, such as the sacrificial text of the abyss, which gave Ian a taste of the virtual world... It is a kind of spiritual document that can communicate with the virtual world. With it, even ordinary people can sink into the void through various rituals.

  But whether he can survive from the void is another matter.

For the former, Ian just touches the book, and the powerful silver chip will directly reproduce all the text, while most of the latter are more dangerous and extremely mysterious. Even if Ian touches the book, even with the permission of Earl Phoenix Next, I took out a book and read it, but I couldn't print its psychic powers, only the ordinary words.

   But even so, Ian was very happy—this time it was a real bumper harvest! Although there is no valuable 'technical information' in these treasured books, for a person like him who has everything but lacks information about 'history and secrets', the gains can be said to be since he came to the imperial capital highest peak.

Among other things, in the abyss sacrificial text, the most important rituals of "sinking into the abyss" are meaningless to Ian, but there are all kinds of rituals in it for more than a thousand years, from the lost era to four hundred years ago. The process of relevant researchers, the experience of this kind of research and the 'mistakes' made in it are more meaningful than the final correct answer!

  However, what shocked Ian the most was an ordinary-looking book in the middle of the bookshelf.

   ""Book of Silver Glory"?"
