Mystic Dominator

Ronald didn't stay on the first floor for too long.

His eyes roughly glanced around the bookshelves on the lowest floor, and then walked up the spiral staircase inside the building.

The collection of books in the library is varied and complex.

Even a few glances on the way up the stairs contain enough information to confuse the mind.

While walking towards the highest level of the library, Ronald also noticed something interesting. Inside the walls of this building, there is a very calm magical power vaguely lingering, which should be the defensive technique used by the church to protect the safety of the books in the library.

"..."

"No wonder there are only so few people in the monastery..."

With emotion in a low voice.

Ronald soon reached the top floor of the library.

Just as he expected, the books here reveal an old and outdated feeling just by looking at their appearance. The mounting process of the books is far less advanced and tidy than those of the brand new books at the bottom. Documents stored on bookshelves.

However, I glanced all the way through this complex collection of libraries.

The initial brilliance in Ronald's eyes gradually dimmed.

The church's collection of books is indeed quite rich, but just like the [Scroll Research Society] or the Investigation Bureau, the things here basically belong to the works after the dark ages, and there are no records before that.

It was my own thoughts...

Or do church libraries inherently have the same limitations?

Pacing back and forth in front of the topmost bookshelf, Ronald's messy footsteps were like a dissatisfied bow sliding on rough strings.

Although he can understand more detailed history, he is also very happy.

But to be honest, it'd be pretty disappointing not to have a record from before the Dark Ages.

"Um……?"

Suddenly, Ronald made a puzzled voice.

An inadvertent look up,

He saw the light-transmitting panels on the roof of the library.

It was a material he had never seen before, unlike glass or plastic.

While maintaining the conical roof, this material also has excellent light transmittance, and even after processing the light, the entire library will not appear too dark under the light.

So here comes the problem.

Judging from the industrial level of this era, this material is definitely not a product processed by a factory.

Not an industrial product...

That is the creation of the mysterious side?

This design is adopted on the roof of the library of the church, and there are spells used for defense on the walls. Under such a complete and unified architectural design, is there a simple brick and wood structure underneath?

And such a building is only used to store these books?

Let's take a look below...

Looking down, Ronald narrowed his eyes slightly and recalled the picture he saw today.

If you think about it and compare it, you can find one thing.

- There are discrepancies in the size of the monastery buildings.

——The upper building responsible for storing books is much wider than the entrance corridor used to enter below.

Under the long row of upward escalators, there is obviously a fairly spacious space left behind. If you compare the building area seen from the outside with Ronald before entering the monastery, there seems to be quite a lot of vacant space in the lower wall of the library!

Something is hidden here?

After loading two unread books from the bookshelf very casually, Ronald turned his head and walked downstairs.

Probably because there are not many people who come here to read books.

During the time Ronald went up and down, no other priests appeared in the library.

"Um……"

Confirming that no one was paying attention to him, Ronald boldly reached through the crack of the stairs, and then tapped on the wall behind it.

thump thump——

As soon as the sound came, the result was obvious.

This kind of knocking sound is obviously not unique to physical buildings.

Sure enough, there is an unopened mezzanine hidden behind the corridor of the entrance on the first floor of the library!

"It really is..."

After confirming this point, the choice before Ronald is very simple.

Otherwise, find a way to try to enter the hidden space behind without attracting the church's attention, and see what's inside; collection of books.

The risk of the former is relatively high, and there is a high probability that it will directly offend the church organization.

But Ronald, relying on his own ability, is also sure to find such an opportunity.

The latter has a low probability of success, but it is an option without too much risk.

"..."

"hehe--"

Smiling and shaking his head, Ronald undoubtedly chose the latter.

Taking without telling is stealing.

The church gave him the qualification to read all kinds of books here, if he breaks the other party's spells and sneaks in like a thief...

This method is certainly beneficial to himself, but Ronald is absolutely unacceptable psychologically.

This is not playing Legend of Sword and Fairy.

If you broke into anyone's house on the side of the road, you had to search it all.

After briefly looking at the two books in his hand, Ronald put them back where they were taken off, and then walked out towards the courtyard of the monastery alone.

Through the introduction of the old man before, he came directly to a room with people in the rear.

Stretching out his right hand, Ronald knocked on the door three times very politely according to the etiquette.

bang bang bang——

"Is anyone here?"

"..."

"Mr. Ronald?"

There was a quick reaction in the house.

However, the one who opened the door was not the old man who received Ronald earlier, but another monk who looked a little younger, about forty or fifty years old, came out.

His eyes looked back and forth at Ronald in front of him.

The monk asked hesitantly:

"You should be reading in the library. Did something happen to me?"

Ronald's attitude was very frank:

"That's right. I hope to read the more secret books under the library. May I ask the church to allow it?".

The expression of the middle-aged monk was obviously stunned.

"Why……?"

"This... this..."

"If it's you, it's only natural to find out."

From the bewilderment at the beginning, the monk's tone gradually eased.

Then he shook his head while sighing, and then he continued:

"Mr. Ronald, there are indeed some special collections under our library. But those things must be submitted with the corresponding materials, and can only be browsed after obtaining permission. We understand your request, but if this matter is notified, It will take at least a week for the results to come back.”

Ronald responded with a smile:

"Then this matter will trouble you."

"This week, I will borrow books in the library in a peaceful manner, and there will be no overstepping behavior."

Facing Ronald's attitude, the monk seemed to be relieved and nodded:

"In that case, thank you for your understanding."
