Chapter 3397: Agreement with Professor Danister
"Good evening, Professor Danister."
Footsteps sounded in the library, followed by Emilia's sweet greeting to Danister. The starry sky twinkled on the curved ceiling, and the astrolabe rotated slowly. The library was very quiet, and St. Byrons was experiencing another peaceful long night.
The red-haired witch sitting on the sofa reading a book put down the book, looked at Xia De and Emilia, and then asked them:
"Good evening, has Little Liana been settled?"
"Yes, Professor. Little Liana also likes Aili very much. Before we left the island, they were a bit tired from playing, so they have returned to the unicorn nest to rest. I will go visit them again tomorrow."
After speaking, Emilia secretly observed the expression of the librarian, and seeing that the other party didn't object, she knew she had obtained the right to go out on the weekend.
She knew that Xia De and Danister had things to talk about, so she said goodbye softly and left here.
Only then did Danister stand up to welcome Xia De's arrival. The serious expression just now turned into a smile:
"Good evening, Xia De. What happened on the island today? Your expression looks very serious."
"Do you know the 【History of the Ages】?"
The red-haired witch wrapped her arms around his neck and raised an eyebrow:
"Of course I know. Didn't we discuss this relic some time ago?"
Seeing Xia De want to open his mouth, she raised her hand to stop him:
"I can probably guess what you want to say, but don't say it here."
Saying that, she took Xia De's hand:
"Let's go, let's go to the basement of the library to talk."
Xia De still doesn't know how many floors there are in the basement of the library. Some things only the current librarian can know, and some things even she doesn't know.
This time the two didn't go to Level 1 where low-risk books are placed, nor Level 2 where Xia De and Emilia often enter and exit, but Level 3, which Xia De had never reached.
Level 3 is similar to the area above ground, and the area near the entrance is also in the style of a library. But there are less than fifty bookshelves in the library here, followed by walls. There is a door on each of the east, west, south, and north walls. Danister explained to Xia De:
"The functions of these four doors are the same. After obtaining permission, hold the door handle tightly, imagine the area you want to go to, and then open the door. Level 3 connects a series of separate spaces. Most of the spaces are used for research on containing relics. If you are a student of the Library Management Academy, this is the area you will enter and exit most often after becoming a high-ring or staying at the school."
She said and demonstrated it to Xia De. After opening the door, behind it was a classroom with a round table.
The tables, chairs, benches, blackboard, and podium in the classroom were all very ordinary, but the walls were all piled up with gray large stones, and the walls were hung with kerosene lamps and torches. Although there were windows, every window was firmly sealed with wooden boards, leaving no gaps.
Xia De's "Enhanced Space Perception" couldn't know the state of the space outside this room, and Danister didn't have a particularly detailed explanation for this place:
"Speak, it's absolutely safe to talk here, and it won't be eavesdropped on by any means. What do you know about the 【History of the Ages】?"
The witch who turned into an eighteen-year-old asked. Xia De briefly talked about his search for the defecting priest, focusing on encountering cultists in the snowy mountain, and then encountering the "Clowns". Treasure hunting became an unimportant background here. What was important was Mr. Mortis's last words:
"Although he only said that the book is in the library of the ancient god, according to our understanding, the library of the 【Silver Moon Sage】 should be the place we are going to tomorrow night, right?"
"Do you think this news is reliable?"
Danister asked, one hand resting on the desk in the first row near the door. Xia De nodded:
"My relationship with that Mr. Mortis is quite good, and at that time we were mainly chatting about the treasure map. The information about the 【History of the Ages】 was just mentioned by him casually.
And the 【Clown Troupe】 and the 【Seer Society】 are both branches of the ancient Fate Sect. It is reasonable for them to know the legends and secrets of that book."
Xia De took a deep breath:
"I'm just thinking, we opened that door with a ritual and entered the library with the lowest permission. Even if the 【History of the Ages】 is really in the library, can we come into contact with it?"
But at this time, Danister was not considering this:
"My question is, what do you want to do with the 【History of the Ages】? We now assume that even if you find that book in the library, you can't really get it completely. At most, you can only use it once. So what do you want to do?
I know the power of this book can completely suppress those three angel-level relics of fate, but I also know that the 【History of the Ages】 is an unknowable-level relic. If you want to write on it, you have to bear the price of time and fate."
Xia De already knew some of the functions of the 【History of the Ages】. Any content written on it, whether it involves the present or the past and future, will become reality.
Although both are manipulating fate after writing, the effect of 【History of the Ages】 is far stronger than 【Puppeteer's Script】. This is a book that truly records the world itself.
The function of the 【Silver Moon Library】 actually overlaps with the "History of the Ages". Both are recording this world. But the library can be searched arbitrarily, and it records everything in the world, but cannot change the content; while the "History of the Ages", although it can change the content, cannot be easily flipped, otherwise it will also have to pay a price, and it only records history.
After knowing the news in the afternoon, Xia De was also thinking about the possible effect of "History of the Ages" on himself. Creating the future must require a very large price, and changing the past is even more unimaginable.
Therefore, the best choice is to influence the "near future", such as writing "Xia De found a relic that perfectly restrains the 【Prophecy Spinning Wheel】 within three days", "The remnant poem of the Chosen One ritual of fate was accidentally discovered by the Witch Council", or "The ink formula that can write on snake skin was successfully developed by Luweiya".
Of course, if Xia De is more greedy, he can also write "Xia De found the true door of the 【Silver Moon Library】", "20 newborn infinite snakes were safely discovered by Xia De", "Ms. Helena Carter was perfectly resurrected immediately after being found", or "Little Mia evolved correctly".
As for "all candidates among the cultists died suddenly", "Xia De flew directly to the moon", or "Xia De completely possessed the 【History of the Ages】 without paying any price", he didn't dare to write.
Xia De told the red-haired girl his thoughts, and the other party didn't speak for a long time:
"If you are curious, you can try to find the 【History of the Ages】 in that library, but I don't recommend you really use it. Unknowable-level relics are not something humans should use casually, even if it is you, Xia De, you shouldn't use it.
There are many other ways to defeat those angel-level relics, don't ask for help from unknowable-level relics. This is like when someone is holding a bomb and wants to blow you up, you shouldn't detonate a bigger bomb to kill the other party in advance."
She held Xia De's hand and looked at him:
"I know you have always been a person with your own ideas, but I hope you can listen to me on this matter. We haven't encountered a situation where we must use that level of relic yet, don't use the 【History of the Ages】."
Xia De actually used another unknowable-level relic, which is the 【Hope Diamond】 in the hands of Mr. Ptolemy Albert. But that was Adele of the past, who hoped that Xia De would obtain "the method to stop Luweiya's conspiracy" from it through the Misse language, and then he saw his "date" with Luweiya.
Using that relic at that time didn't pay a price, but the situation at that time was very complicated. And now, Xia De is planning to use an unknowable-level relic normally.
The rose-red eyes looked at him, and Xia De nodded gently:
"Don't be so serious, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't listen to others' advice. No problem, even if I find that relic tomorrow, I won't use it. But I will try to find it in the library. After all, I am also curious."
The eighteen-year-old red-haired girl also smiled:
"Okay, I'm actually very curious about what that relic looks like. We will look for it together tomorrow. After the teacher returns, we can also show off to her what we discovered. She will never think that we have been to that legendary library."
Her voice became much gentler:
"Sorry, Xia De, I didn't doubt that you were going to take risks just now, I was just worried about you."
"I understand, you don't need to explain specifically."
So she kissed Xia De on the side of his face:
"I won't keep you today. Tomorrow, tomorrow after we find clues about the teacher's location, I won't leave your house. Of course, it's also okay for you to follow me back."
Her eyes were shining:
"I know that Saturday is usually the day you date Luweiya and that princess. Since I used Saturday this time, I will prove that your Saturday can become more 'interesting'. They can teach you knowledge, and it's not like I can't."
"This... actually there is no need to compare."
"Just treat it as a celebration."
The rose-red eyes blinked at him.
"Celebrate what?"
She said with a smile:
"Of course it's celebrating that we found the teacher's trail. The celebration content is that the two students she taught personally, in the place where she once worked and lived..."
"Stop! Although only the two of us can hear what is said here, don't go on."
Xia De hurriedly stopped her, and Danister hugged him with a smile. At this moment, she thought of her teacher again, and then she suddenly realized that since the most intimate progress in her relationship with Xia De after the Battle of Vesta Forest, the frequency of her missing her teacher had dropped a lot. ===== CHAPTER 3398 =====
