"Knowledge is precious, so if you want to obtain knowledge, you have to pay a corresponding price. ---Merlin" "For every one hundred Merlin gold you pay, you can stay in the library for one hour." Two words written in magic words The words immediately caught Ito Cheng's eyes.

As an alchemist, Ito Cheng, who understood the principle of equivalent exchange, did not object. He directly took out his general card and crossed out one hundred Merlin gold at the counter, and then walked into the library holding a specially made sign for the library. .

"Apprentice level area, formal mage area, one-star mage area..."

The purpose of coming to the library was to browse advanced spells. Without hesitation, Ito Cheng walked directly through the apprentice mage area and the official mage area and walked towards the location of the one-star mage area.

But just when Ito Cheng reached the edge of the official mage area and was about to enter the one-star mage area, a transparent magic barrier suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his way.

"What's going on?" Looking at the barrier that suddenly appeared in front of him, Ito Cheng frowned and thought to himself after trying several times with the library voucher in his hand, but the barrier still failed to disappear.

"Take out your credentials and let me see it." At this time, a male mage who was about to walk by him stopped and looked at Ito Naomichi.

Although he felt a little uncomfortable with the other party's somewhat commanding tone, Ito Shigeya had no choice but to suppress his unhappiness when he thought that the other party was preparing to help him solve the problem and showed the certificate in his hand to the other party.

"This is a red voucher that can only be used in the apprentice level area and the official mage level area. It cannot enter the one-star mage area." It was just a glance. Said the man who discovered the cause of the problem.

"If you want to go there, you need this purple voucher." Then the man took out his voucher and showed it to Ito Cheng.

"It's better to be down-to-earth." After Ito Cheng saw it clearly, the man took back his certificate and glanced at Ito Cheng with disdain and said. Then he ignored Ito Cheng, stepped through the barrier that blocked his steps, and entered the browsing area of ​​the one-star mage.

Around him, the mages who had originally gathered because of Ito Cheng's matter, after hearing the man's words, all looked at Ito Cheng with mocking faces, silently mocking Ito Cheng for overestimating his abilities.

Fortunately, Ito Cheng's character cultivation is very good, and he does not take the words of that self-righteous guy into his heart at all. He took back his certificate with a calm expression. He turned around and walked into the official mage-level area and began to search for books.

"Browse one Merlin gold, copy fifty Merlin gold once." Just when Ito Cheng selected a book called "Detailed Explanation of Fireball Technique" and reached out to take it out, another transparent barrier enveloped the surface of the book. Block his movement. At the same time, a message of thought appeared in Ito Cheng's mind.

"I want money!" Ito Cheng, who was quite speechless by the message, took out his library voucher and touched it on the barrier. Then, after unlocking the barrier with the credentials and recording the action, he pulled the book out of the bookshelf, held it in his hand, and started reading.

The thickness of the book is not much. There are only about twenty pages. With Ito's browsing speed, I finished reading it in just a few minutes and memorized it in my heart.

"Hehe, my photographic memory seems to have come into use again." Ito Cheng said with a heartfelt smile as he returned the study to the bookshelf.

Then Ito Cheng ignored the fool-like looks from the people around him, broke through the protective barrier outside the books one by one, and browsed quickly until the library voucher reminded him that his stay time was up.

During this one-hour frantic sweep, Ito Cheng not only memorized a lot of first-level spells, but also memorized a large number of academic works on magic. If we just talk about the understanding of first-level spells and the theory of the formal mage level, In terms of knowledge, Ito Cheng at this time is fully qualified to be called a master.

Of course, this is not the only gain from this hour. There are also other related magic materials that Ito Cheng has memorized in his heart, such as the basic magic circle books and basic potion science books stored in the official mage-level area. wait……

"After I go back this time, I will digest the knowledge I have learned first, copy these materials and throw them into the library of the Rubik's Cube World. Then I will go to the Magic Guild for professional level certification and return to the library to clean up!" Ito Cheng thought to himself as he walked out of the library after paying the browsing fee.

…

"Welcome, how can I help you, sir?" A young female staff member said with a smile on her face as she looked at Ito Cheng who was standing outside the counter.

"I want to hire some magic consultants. Do you have any recommendations here?" Ito Cheng said looking at the staff.

It turned out that Ito Cheng, who left the library, did not directly return to the room of [Holiday Inn] to digest and absorb the magic knowledge in his mind. Instead, he took a turn halfway and came to the largest agency in the demon territory.

"Yes." The female staff member replied with a smile, and then while operating the computer in front of her, she asked Ito Cheng, "Do you have any requirements for a magic consultant?"

"First of all, they should all be young and beautiful women..." Ito Cheng said, and then smiled at the staff who looked a little stunned, and continued, "Secondly, their professional level should be above the official mage level. No cap! Finally, I need them to have experience in education.”

"Just these three." Ito Cheng confirmed.

"With just these three items, a large number of people have been wiped out." The female staff member who received Ito Cheng shook her head and smiled.

"It's out. There are a total of eight that meet your requirements. But I don't know whether they are all beautiful women in your eyes." After a while, the female staff member who met the requirements was retrieved from countless job information. Turning the computer screen towards Ito Cheng, he said.

"Well... I can only say that it's okay. You know, we Easterners have some differences in aesthetics from you Westerners." Ito Cheng shrugged as he took photos and information of eight people who met the requirements into his eyes.

"Understood." The female staff member smiled.

"Can I meet them?" Then, Ito Cheng turned to look at the female staff member and asked.

"I can help you contact them, but there is little hope of meeting everyone at once. It may have to be done in batches." said the female staff member who turned the computer screen right.

"It doesn't matter, as long as we can meet. I need to get to know their personalities through contact. Only in this way can I determine whether they meet my requirements. You know, I don't want to stay with a stereotyped, uninteresting woman. Being together is simply too painful." Ito Cheng complained very European and American.

"Sir, I now have some suspicions that you are not choosing a magic consultant, but choosing your next lover." Seeing that Ito Cheng is so young and relatively talkative, the female staff member picked up the phone and started to contact the eight Female, while joking with Ito Cheng.

"If possible, I wouldn't mind developing a relationship with them that goes beyond friendship, and we can intimately explore the origin of humankind and the profound impact of ether on the next generation." Ito Cheng smiled and said, "Maybe we will He will receive the Order of Merlin for this subject that can affect countless people, and he might even enjoy the treatment of a master."

"Ha... Then I'm looking forward to it. Hello, hello, this is Firth Agency, my name is Maria, this is it..." While waiting for the call to be connected, the female staff member replied, and then After China Unicom was connected, I immediately talked about business with the person on the opposite side with a serious look on my face.

"It seems that you can only meet them at different times. Among the eight of them, only Linda Lester, Betty Arnold, and Ingrid Raphael are currently available. As for the other five, they all explained God will make time to meet you." A few minutes later, Maria, who had contacted everyone, looked at Ito and said regretfully.

"Is the black-haired Ingrid among them? Oh, how lucky, I feel the most for her among the eight." Ito Cheng joked. Then with Maria's smile, she continued, "Okay, just the three of them. When will they arrive?"

"Half an hour, they will come to the agency in half an hour." Maria replied.

"Oh, it's been a long half hour. So, Miss Maria, do you mind if I invite you out for a drink?" Ito said in annoyance.

"Of course I don't mind, but I can't do it now. If it's night, I'll be free at any time." Maria, who didn't dislike the young Ito Cheng, shook her head regretfully.

"That's a pity." Ito Cheng, who didn't really want to invite the other party, deliberately showed a false expression of regret on his face and shrugged, "But forget it, it's only half an hour. I'll go shopping and it will be over soon."

"Then dear Maria, we'll see you in half an hour." Ito Cheng touched his lips with his hand and blew a frivolous kiss to Maria, turned around and walked out of the agency, walked to the coffee shop next to him and sat down. Waited quietly.

Then twenty-five minutes later, Tanari had a habit of arriving early, Ito Cheng got up and paid for his coffee, walked out of the cafe, and returned to the Firth Agency.

"You're finally back. At that point in the night, I thought you were going to be late. You know, being late is not the behavior a gentleman should have." Seeing Ito Cheng's appearance, Maria quickly stepped forward and said with a soft breath. .

"Don't worry, I understand." Ito Cheng, who took advantage of the people around him not paying attention, reached out and pinched Maria's buttocks covered by the blue-gray professional suit and said with a smile.

"Follow me, they have been waiting in the reception room for a long time." Maria, who rolled her eyes at Ito Cheng, said as she led Ito Cheng towards the reception room. (To be continued...)
