Chapter 521 Precious and rare collection room (33)

As the name suggests, the precious and unique collection room does not need to be explained, and what can be included in it are basically very important historical originals, or some psionic classics whose contents cannot be completely reproduced due to the special structure.

Changed to the name of the Lost Era, it would probably be a magic book, a magic guide book—all in all, what is really important about this kind of book is not the content of the book, but the strange spiritual power attached to it.

Theoretically speaking, Ian himself can also go to the rare collection room.

He has a reading card and a letter of introduction from the master alchemist, so it's no problem to stay for half an hour, let alone scan it directly with the silver chip.

But when I came to the big library for the first time, I was a little too impatient to run here.

Ian has the patience to take his time and achieve his goal without arousing anyone's suspicion or concern.After all, he is the type of person who lays out a plan and follows it step by step, then adjusts to unexpected situations.

However, there are occasional surprises that change too much.

For example, meet Earl Phoenix.

"It turns out that you are the honorary curator of the Great Library, Lord Earl."

On the way to the treasury room, Ian learned from Earl Phoenix's bragging—in fact, telling the truth, at most, the old man recalled the past, but his tone felt like bragging—that after the Dark Moon turmoil His promotion history.

Because of his meritorious service in defending the Great Library, the old man was directly promoted by the keeper of the soil to be the director of the Ancient Documents and History Bureau, responsible for managing the preservation of all relevant documents in the imperial capital. A large number of rare classics were collected from the ruins of the residences of the nobles who destroyed the clan, and Axel appointed Earl Phoenix to serve as the curator of the Great Library and the deputy minister of the Ministry of Truth.

The deputy minister of the empire is still a heavyweight department like the Ministry of Truth, and Earl Phoenix is ​​a real important minister of the imperial capital.

But obviously, this is the end. Earl Phoenix can make himself unable to go further by relying on his own mouth alone, but he can be regarded as the pinnacle of technical personnel here, and then it is the field of political compromise and influence, and Kirch Although the Nev family has this background, the members of this family are somewhat unsatisfactory in terms of character.

Now, as the Earl of Phoenix is ​​getting old, although he is still at his peak, he still took the initiative to retire. Apart from retaining the position of an honorary curator, he basically has no official position—but no one will be idle Nothing to do to provoke the old count of the Kirchnev family.

It was precisely because of this that Ian was able to be brought by the other party to the precious rare copy collection room... Here are all the precious rare copies that Earl Phoenix protected from the Dark Moon turmoil, and they are the crystallization of his life's pride.

In other words, as long as Earl Phoenix meets a junior who has a little impression, he will bring him over to brag about himself.

Of course Ian was very cooperative, and even [-]% sincerely praised the Earl's great achievements. This was not acting. He really believed that what the other party had done was great.

In Ian's description, the Earl of Phoenix is ​​simply the savior of the imperial capital's academic circles, the preserver of human civilization, the patron saint of all books and libraries, and even the old earl, who originally planned to listen to flattery and relax for a night, feels that It was a bit too much, I couldn't help coughing twice, and shouted to stop.

"I've passed it, I've really passed it, I'm not that great yet."

The old earl waved his hand, but even Frost Butterfly could see his brow raised in joy: "Let's take a look at these books—although the contents of many books have lost their value due to the passage of time, and have become become an antique that is surpassed by modern alchemy, but sometimes, ancient knowledge is also valuable, and its meaning is to prove the path we have traveled.”

"I have always believed that even the most insignificant book needs to be respected. That is what the author said to all future generations of readers. Of course, if you don't respect the reader's book, just write something that doesn't matter. Respect is mutual."

Even the Earl of Phoenix, who was often violent, spoke quite seriously when it came to what he loved, and Ian couldn't help nodding his head in agreement.

Then, Ian began to look around the collection room, which was neither big nor small.

The rare and rare book collection room is quite simple at first glance, but if you look carefully, you can see that each book is fixed in its original position by a set of solidified inscriptions. If there is no relevant inscription key, even the second-level peak Don't even think about destroying even a little sawdust here.

On the ground, there is a thick layer of hand-woven carpet with quite exquisite patterns.But if someone really thinks that this is an ordinary carpet, they are wrong. The prophetic vision told Ian that this thing is a psionic creation of the second energy level. The psychic creations of 'Fuzzy Fury' will come to life, becoming impossibly tough prisons, holding the destroyer in place.

Similarly, all kinds of protective measures are everywhere, from bookcases, transparent glass windows and overhead lights, all of which are mysterious.

But it's the books themselves that really grab the attention.

""32 Legends", an ancient manuscript recording 32 major events of natural disasters in the lost era? "Abyss Sacrificial Text", what is so weird... Oh, the communication manual of the void... "Jade Record"! The oldest alchemy classic Rubbings! Aha! It's "Legend of the Seven Sages" and "The Melting Pot"! I remember that this should be the earliest prophetic praise book and natural disaster prophecy book!"

Just by glancing at it, Ian discovered many precious ancient books that even he had heard of, but had never seen a single piece of ancient books.

Some of them are just pure myths and legends, or are recorded in ancient documents, but there are also some, such as the sacrificial text of the abyss, which gave Ian a taste of the virtual world... It is a kind of spiritual document that can communicate with the virtual world. Holding it, even ordinary people can sink into the void through various rituals.

But whether he can come out alive from the void is another matter.

For the former, Ian just touches the book, and the powerful silver chip will directly reproduce all the text, while most of the latter are more dangerous and extremely mysterious. Even if Ian touches the book, even with the permission of Earl Phoenix Next, I took out a book and read it, but I couldn't print its psychic powers, only the ordinary words.

But even so, it made Ian elated - this time it was a real bumper harvest!Although there is no valuable 'technical information' in these treasured books, for a person like him who has everything but lacks information about 'history and secrets', the gains can be said to be since he came to the imperial capital highest peak.

Among other things, the rituals of "sinking into the abyss" that are the most important descriptions in the abyss ritual text are meaningless to Ian, but there are all relevant researchers from the lost era to 1000 years ago. The process, the experience of this kind of research and the 'mistakes' made in it are more meaningful than the final correct answer!
However, what shocked Ian the most was an ordinary-looking book in the middle of the bookshelf.

"Book of Silver Brilliance?"
