Arcane Rebirth

What does a librarian do?

Is it just a matter of standing behind the counter to register the borrowing and returning information?

Of course, the work of a librarian involves the classification, maintenance, cleaning and sorting of books... as well as providing various consulting services to borrowers so that borrowers can find the books they need in the shortest possible time.

This means that librarians must at least be familiar with the titles, numbers, types, general contents, and locations of all books within their scope of work, so as to ensure that when someone asks, they can answer accurate book information.

For Jialan, who was once responsible for managing three million libraries, this [Kemo Grand Library], which has a single floor area of ​​only 100,000 square meters, is really not difficult.

There are 10 rows of 5-meter-wide and 5-meter-high bookshelves. A total of 200 rows are divided into several large and small areas. Each bookshelf can hold 1,500 books. It is estimated that the books stored on this first floor alone will exceed 300.

Thousands of books.

It looks like it's so huge that Jialan alone can't manage it, but...

Jialan activated all the secret magic effects of the [Identification Robe] on his body, and saw his finger lightly touching the bookshelf. Under the effect of the level 0 [Evocation System] spell [Organizing Books], all the books in the library were

They all flew out of the bookshelf, like countless pigeons, flying up to the curved dome, forming a thick "book cloud".

As Jialan waved the [Cleaning Technique] and [Repairing Technique] in the level 0 [Change System] spells with her palms, an invisible wind was formed in the huge space, rolling away a large amount of dust.

The effect of [Repair Technique] restores the slight damage caused by insect bites to the books, leaving the books in the best condition. The brand-new books begin to "crackle" and fall down.

The categories, numbers, and themes are returned to their rightful place.

After doing all this, Jialan clapped his hands with satisfaction. There were still several floors upstairs and underground in the library, but he didn't plan to finish all the work in one day, so he sorted out the basic books on the first floor.

After that, he walked to the first bookshelf in the first row.

As he walked, Jialan sat back casually. An invisible disk about one meter in size flashed. This force field disk made by [Secondary Floating Disk Technique] supported his body and carried him.

It started flying.

The force field disk moved slowly, holding Jialan's body floating at a suitable height. With a gentle move of his palm, a whole row of nearly a hundred books flew out. Under the [Transportation Technique]

Under the effect, it surrounds Jialan's body, slowly rotating like a satellite.

Reaching out to take out a book, Jialan touched the thick leather cover, but did not open the book. Instead, he just tapped his finger on the cover. His status as [Erudition] brought him the special ability [Scholar].

Touch] began to take effect, and the contents of the book turned into an invisible stream of text, gathering into his mind, as if he had read the book completely.

Jialan closed her eyes, and [Reading Technique], [Interpretation Technique], [Summary Technique], and [Analysis Technique] began to operate simultaneously. The words in her mind began to be automatically and repeatedly read to deepen the impression. At the same time, the meaning of the words was understood.

Interpret it so that he can understand it, summarize the key points, and analyze the essential content.

But for a moment, Jialan raised his hand and threw it gently. The book he had read gently rotated and flew back to its original position, and he grabbed another book...

It wasn't until the first ray of sunlight came through the window that Jialan exhaled, gently closed the book in her hand, inserted it back into its original position, and glanced at the bookshelf she had already seen.

, with a very strange expression on his face.

Throughout the night, what he chose to read was some information about this era, which finally gave him a little understanding of the environment of this era.

Combining the "pre-civilization" information he knew, Jialan discovered that the era 1,700 years ago really had no significant connection with the current world.

It can even be said that because of the era of civilization, new creatures have gradually developed a civilization system that is entirely their own.

Even if they inherit some of the incomplete knowledge of pre-civilizations, they will develop things suitable for them based on the knowledge of pre-civilizations, rather than copying the knowledge of pre-civilizations. No wonder various knowledge systems have undergone such huge changes. See

It seems chaotic, but it still conforms to certain reasonable rules.

We cannot blame the scholars of this era for patching things up here and there. In fact, in pre-civilization, knowledge was only in the hands of a very small number of people.

In the earth-line explosion that erupted for unknown reasons, a large amount of arcane torrent and elemental tide overflowed from the rift between heaven and earth, causing a devastating blow to those high-level beings who had mastered supernatural power.

.

The higher the level of existence, the greater the impact will be. On the contrary, ordinary civilians will not be greatly affected.

The so-called "Ley Line Explosion" was only one of the reasons for the great destruction. It is recorded in the literature that with the explosion of the Ley Lines, a large amount of elemental energy buried in the ground was released, infecting a large area of ​​the earth.

The animals and plants affected the original organisms and caused them to undergo unpredictable mutations, and then they gradually multiplied and became what they are now.

The descendants of the survivors gradually adapted to the environment and space that were highly filled with elements, and their physiques evolved to a certain extent.

Although the degree of this improvement is not large, it also allows them to survive in this space full of dangerous elements like elemental creatures without being seriously harmed due to the intense and active characteristics of the elements.

.

Over the next more than 1,700 years, a secret art system that was born out of arcane magic but was different from arcane magic was gradually established and perfected, forming the current magic system.

No wonder Jialan noticed that the elemental particles in nature were hundreds or thousands of times more active than in his time, and the arcane particles in space were so rich that they were almost viscous.

Surprisingly, although the arcane knowledge system has been completely lost, the magical knowledge system derived from the environment after the Great Destruction [Age of Apocalypse] has not been weakened by this.

Compared with Jialan's original era, which required a long period of arduous study and training before a mage could master arcane power, in this era, due to the high activity of elemental particles in nature, a large number of powerful magicians emerged who had mastered supernatural power.

The number of magicians has increased dramatically, almost universally!
