Gourd of Douluo

Chapter 618 Royal Collection of Books

In the early morning, the sun breaks through the mist.

Wang Xiaofeng walked out of the villa door with a pair of faint dark circles under his eyes.

Dai Mubai leaned against the carriage, "Hey, you look so bad, did you stay up all night doing research again?"

Wang Xiaofeng sighed, "Oh, don't mention it. He was dragged by the fat man to fight in the mental space all night. He couldn't hold back and fell asleep until dawn. It seems that the oppressive environment of the Royal Academy has indeed suppressed his nature. Crap."

Dai Mubai said casually: "Since the fat man is uncomfortable, I will have him taken to the palace."

Wang Xiaofeng pinched the root of his nose and tried to wake himself up, "Forget it, it's good to let him sharpen his temper in the academy. It can also be regarded as a unique experience. Otherwise, when he reaches Soul Saint Soul Douluo, he wants to have such a The experience was also very difficult.”

"Wait, why are you here to pick me up? Is Prince Xingluo so free?"

I thought that Dai Mubai would randomly send someone to lead the way, but I didn't expect that he would come to pick him up in person.

Dai Mubai pretended to be sad and said: "I came here to pick you up with good intentions, but you actually slander me like this, brother, there is nothing you can do."

After so many years of brothers, who doesn’t understand each other?

Wang Xiaofeng looked him up and down, "You didn't take me as an excuse to go out for a walk, did you?"

"I'm not, I didn't, how could it be possible." Dai Mubai denied it three times.

"Okay, okay, don't talk about these bad things early in the morning, and get in the car quickly. Our royal family has a lot of rules. If you miss the meal time, even if you are a princess and prince, the chef will not cook it for you alone. ”

The distance between Xingluo Royal Academy and Xingluo Palace is less than ten kilometers. At the speed of a carriage, we arrived at the main entrance of the palace in less than a cup of tea.

The construction of this palace began in the year 528 of the Star Luo calendar and was completed in the year 534 of the Star Luo calendar. It has been continuously repaired and expanded by successive emperors. It is majestic and majestic and is one of the highest architectural achievements in this world. .

There were hundreds of soldiers standing guard at the main gate alone. Even with Dai Mubai, they still went through layers of scrutiny on the way into the palace.

The Prince's Mansion, where Dai Mubai lives, is located on the east side of the palace complex. It covers an area of ​​more than 1,000 square meters and consists of eight main halls, including the Wenxin Hall where political affairs are handled daily and the Yangxin Hall where meals are held.

The red walls reflect the blurry shadows of weeping willow trees, and the green glazed bricks shine, contrasting with the exquisite and unique turrets. Further north along the central axis, there are Jingshan and Drum Tower.

The scenery was nice, but there were all serious-looking guards and maids around, and it took just a short while for me to feel uncomfortable.

Wang Xiaofeng put aside his thoughts and followed Dai Mubai into this central place that symbolized the royal power.

After passing six gates in a row, we arrived at the main hall of the Yangxin Hall.

Zhu Zhuqing seemed to have been waiting for a long time. She waved gently, and dozens of maids came in orderly carrying exquisite dishes.

In just a minute or two, the empty dining table was filled to the brim.

There are about twenty dishes placed in front of each person, mainly based on centuries-old soul beast meat, as well as some seafood and fresh vegetables. The staple food is rice and steamed buns, which are very balanced in nutrition.

However, Wang Xiaofeng took a look at the amount of food in front of him. It was obviously much larger than what Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing had.

Facing Wang Xiaofeng's doubts, Dai Mubai explained: "The standard breakfast fee for both of us totals one hundred gold soul coins, and yours is two hundred gold soul coins."

Oh, it was a condition mentioned casually in the ruins before.

At this time, a maid came over carrying hot water and white cloth.

Wang Xiaofeng saw her half-crouching in front of him without speaking, and said speechlessly: "What are you doing?"

Dai Mubai suppressed a smile and said, "I'm here to help you wash your hands."

There are too many rules.

Wang Xiaofeng shook his head, "I can do it myself."

His thoughts moved slightly, and the warm water swirled up to wrap around his hands. After washing them back and forth several times, they automatically fell back into the iron basin.

After going through some more pre-dinner rituals, it was now time to start using chopsticks for this mediocre breakfast.

Half an hour later, Wang Xiaofeng spit out the so-called mouthwash tea, watched the maid put away the bowls and chopsticks, and sighed: "Phew, this is the tasteless breakfast I have ever had."

Zhu Zhuqing asked doubtfully: "The food doesn't taste good?"

She specifically ordered the kitchen to prepare Tiandou-style food. Could it be that she had bad intentions out of good intentions?

Wang Xiaofeng rubbed his face, "The food is quite delicious and the ingredients are very fresh, but it's just too uncomfortable and tastes like chewing gum."

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing looked at each other and suddenly laughed: "Haha, we are the same."

Wang Xiaofeng was shocked, "What do you mean, you tricked me!?"

Dai Mubai spread his hands and said, "Don't I want you to experience an authentic royal breakfast?"

Wang Xiaofeng said speechlessly: "The treatment is very good, don't do it next time."

After breakfast, Dai Mubai obviously did not forget the purpose of bringing Wang Xiaofeng.

Taking out a token, the two of them walked unimpeded along the way, walking through palaces and palaces, and finally came to a small, simple wooden building.

The small building is independent of all palaces. It is ordinary and inconspicuous. It is not even defended by any guards.

No one would have thought that this ordinary pavilion was the legendary Royal Library, a place that students from all over the continent yearned for.

"Here we are, this is the South Pavilion, one of the three pavilions of the Royal Library. Most of the books in the continent are collected here."

"In addition, there is the Beige, which stores hidden knowledge, and the Guge, which is responsible for the restoration and translation of ancient books. However, I can't let you in directly in those two places."

Dai Mubai knocked on the door gently, and after a while, an unkempt old man stuck his head out.

Dai Mubai said with a shy face: "Mr. Li, I brought someone here. This is an official document. Please sign it."

The old man surnamed Li casually signed his name, "Are you the Wang Xiaofeng who recently shocked the entire academic circle with two articles?"

Wang Xiaofeng nodded and said, "It's me."

Mr. Li looked up and down and said, "You are much younger than I thought. Okay, it's time for His Royal Highness to deal with political affairs. I'll take this little brother in for a visit."

Dai Mubai cupped his hands and said, "Then I'll trouble Mr. Li."

He turned around and whispered: "I will send someone to deliver lunch and dinner."

Wang Xiaofeng nodded, followed Mr. Li and walked in.

This small building doesn't look big, but there is a cave inside. The small building on the ground is just a disguise, and the entire underground has been hollowed out.

At a glance, countless bookshelves are filled with books, and oil lamps can be seen everywhere on the walls like stars, illuminating the entire building dimly.

There are tables and chairs on both sides, and many people are reading or copying books here.

Although there are no guards in sight in this scripture collection building, according to Wang Xiaofeng's mental perception, there are many masters hidden among the crowd inside.

Tread!

Deep footsteps sounded, and a young man wearing black clothes came down from the second floor.

"Xiaomi, go get a library card."

The young man responded: "I understand, Grandpa."

Mr. Li continued to move forward with Wang Xiaofeng, "It's really rare for a soul master like you with an unlimited future to be willing to concentrate on research."

Wang Xiaofeng waved his hand, "That's ridiculous. I'm just an ordinary person pursuing power. After all, knowledge is power."

"Knowledge is power." Mr. Li smacked his lips, "That's right. Now I kind of believe that those two articles were written by you."

Mr. Li calmed down his emotions and slowly introduced Wang Xiaofeng.

"The South Pavilion is divided into three floors. What you see now is the first floor. It contains 2,674,132 volumes of books. Most of them are local documents, magazines, novels, I don't know. "

Wang Xiaofeng didn't have any reaction. This amount of books was far beyond the library in his knowledge sea.

Although most of the knowledge is incomplete.

"There are much fewer books on the second and third floors, but many of them are out-of-print ancient books and books, and even some sects' special soul skills are included. For example, the Zhou family, one of the three major Zhenguo clans, has The Soul Spear Technique is included in the third level.”

Speaking of this, Mr. Li couldn't help but cast a sidelong glance at Wang Xiaofeng with some pride.

Seeing his calm and composed look, I couldn't help but feel a little unconvinced.

"I saw it once, it was okay!"

Wang Xiaofeng nodded. He had seen this move in the hands of his second uncle before, but it was not as strong as he imagined.

Moreover, he had already seen a lot of soul skills, and a few secrets really couldn't attract his attention.

He came here more for the rich collection of books.

The wisdom passed down by these predecessors is the value of this library, and some so-called secret books cannot compare.

"Okay?" Mr. Li couldn't help but asked.

This young man is afraid that he is not bragging, and he is not afraid that his boast will be blown.

Wang Xiaofeng raised his head and glanced at the layout of the book pavilion, and asked calmly, "Are there any secrets here like the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect's Distraction Control, or the Haotian Sect's Chaotic Cloak Hammering Technique?"

"Are you dreaming? How could it be possible here?" Mr. Li almost vomited blood when he heard this. How could such a secret book of this level be so easy to obtain?

"Oh, then pretend I didn't ask."

Mr. Li sighed secretly in his heart and couldn't talk any more today.

Although this young man has some talents, he likes to talk too much.

Fortunately, Mr. Li's grandson appeared in time to break the awkward atmosphere.

"Grandpa, I've got my library card."

Mr. Li handed the card with the words "library card" to Wang Xiaofeng, "This is the library card and proof of entry and exit. There is a sensor on the left side of the door. Just swipe it and the door will open.

Only five books can be borrowed at a time, and the period is seven days. No corners, graffiti, or damage allowed. Remember to return it in time and don’t throw it away casually.”

After carefully explaining the rules for borrowing books, Mr. Li casually found an excuse to say goodbye and left.

Seeing Mr. Li hurried away, Wang Xiaofeng ignored it, walked to the bookshelf nearby, took down a book, sat on a chair, and read slowly.

There are more than two million books in this bookstore. With Wang Xiaofeng's speed, it is definitely impossible to understand them all in a short time. However, he can still do it by writing them all down and then slowly pondering, understanding and digesting them in the sea of ​​consciousness. of.

After activating the sea of ​​consciousness, Wang Xiaofeng was able to achieve photographic memory. With one glance, he could memorize a whole page of hundreds or even thousands of words.

In just one cup of tea, he wrote down all the contents of the book.

"Crash!"

There was silence in the corner of the book pavilion, only the sound of Wang Xiaofeng reading books could be heard softly.
