"Good afternoon." Anna passed a piece of chocolate to Iliad, and he happily accepted it. He walked beside her naturally, and then reported to Anna about his "inspection" of the library.

District One has its first and largest library.

According to the original idea, there will be a public library in the first district and a large library owned by the Lord's Mansion, but due to the busy schedule and the arrangement of the collection of books, the former has not been able to be implemented well.

Thanks to generous donations from many partners this summer, her public library finally has some form.

The current library management is for all official citizens. Each citizen needs to register and apply for a borrowing card. The borrowing card is linked with the real-name card or identity card promoted at the beginning of the year. The borrowing card allows citizens to borrow books on the first floor. Any book you want, and there are five very huge reading rooms and public reading areas.

At present, the public library does not support the service of borrowing books out of the library. Each book has Anna's special magic mark, which is convenient for arrangement and level management.

The enthusiasm of the citizens for reading is still very high, especially among the types of books that can be considered complicated, and a certain amount of territorial contribution is required to apply for a borrowing card. You can't eat, drink or do anything else in the library. In addition, you are required to have a certain "break time" every 24 hours, which is to prevent some people from reading books and occupying their seats and not leaving.

The books on the first floor are for the whole people, and there are no special collections or special values.

The second floor is relatively rare. Some rare books can be borrowed when the citizens have maintained a good reading record, that is, they have been reading steadily for a period of time and have not damaged the books. , If it is a high contribution value, such as Rapunzel, there is no limit and you can go directly from the beginning.

The third floor houses many books of special categories, such as some basic introduction to alchemy, introduction to magic practice, martial arts, adventurer experience, etc. It is a collection area for technical books, and it is also open to the citizens, but the requirements are stricter.

The fourth floor is multi-ethnic books, including mermaids, dwarves, elves, goblins, orcs, ice elves and other intelligent races of writing and painting records. There is a special collection room for these historical materials and rare original records.

The fifth floor is the planetarium, and there is also a basement where many precious experimental materials are placed.

There is also a large warehouse behind the library, which stores sundries, tables and chairs, etc. Some books that have not yet entered the library will be stored here first.

Iliad just went to supervise the entry of the latest batch of donated books into the library.

Anna mass-produced alchemy materials, pasted them on the side or cover of books, and scanned them with special tools to mark them. There was a special library person in charge, but because it also involved book classification, etc., in addition, this The value of the batch of books is very high, so human supervision is required.

This batch of books, like many previous historical materials, came from the donation of the Queen of the North.

The Ice Queen has no interest in these materials that are placed in her palace but have nothing to do with the ice elves and the history of the Northern Kingdom. She is a bit indifferent to everything, and she doesn't even care about the management of the kingdom. Of course, judging from the results, her country is good or bad. Also managed well.

A few months ago, Anna finally successfully re-opened the "new trade" with the Snow Queen's Kingdom Northland by throwing in a large number of magic props. During this process, the adventurers in the three districts naturally contributed a lot. .

After thinking about it, Anna decided to abandon the traditional method of crossing mountains and ridges to build communication between the two sides, but to use magic teleportation.

This kind of consumption is terrifying, and it needs to be verified repeatedly. At the same time, because the Northland is still a semi-closed area under the rule of the Snow Queen, she cannot allow the magic teleportation array to come and go freely.

After countless attempts and repeated discussions with the Queen of the North, she finally finalized the function, size, location of the magic circle, as well as the relevant rules for future business exchanges.

During that time, Anna didn't know how busy she was just for measuring and arranging the magic circle, and the materials used for the experiment were terrible—

She was able to use up more than a dozen materials stored in her system package, which shows how terrible it is.

Fortunately, it was finally calculated, and the magic circle between the two places was successfully arranged. At the same time, it also announced to the entire continent that Anna was the absolute strongest magician in the world. Other magicians did not have the ability to arrange such a large magic circle. Even the magic circle that Anna set up to travel between several areas couldn't do it.

The Queen of the North has stipulated that it will be open three times a month, that is, Oran can go there three times.

The visitor can send the goods back after purchasing according to the list, or wait for the remaining time in a predetermined way, and then the North Country will slowly send the things over through the magic circle.

Basically, Anna will arrange about 20 people here, some of them will make regular purchases, and some will stay in Oran to check the quality of the goods delivered, etc. The two groups will rotate.

The remaining 80 people are basically traveling three times a month, open to all citizens, giving priority to those with high contribution value and enough money for a short-term small tour.

For this reason, it attracted a large number of people. In order to go to the Northland more safely and see a different scenery, every opening is a "reign of terror", and the price can be very high. Anna also relies on this Profit, it can be regarded as paying back the cost of a single use of the magic circle.

As for Oran, which is open to the North Kingdom, there is no limit to the number of times. The Queen of the North Kingdom will not interfere with how to arrange Anna for the people, but in short, there is a consumption of using it once over there, and it probably missed a large business transaction. Time, the rest of the time is about three times a month, about three days each time, and the Queen will also let people from the North Kingdom come to Oran.

Anna asked people to be in charge of the operation and maintenance of the magic circle, and asked them to check the "qualification" of the people from the northern kingdom. It is the same as the people who passed here would wear special alchemy props and magic badges to prove their identity. The queen also issued them over there. The "pass" needs to check the stamps one by one, similar to a passport, and there has been no problem so far.

Anna also considered whether it would be more convenient to get a seal book like the Queen's. Even if the book contained magic, it would be more convenient than a badge.

But Anna’s badge here is recyclable, that is, it is limited to a single time. After the journey is over and the badge is returned from the Northland, the badge will be sent back. After the inspection, it will be issued to the traveler next time. The effect of protecting the wearer.

So, after thinking about it, Anna still didn't change her form.

With the experience of the magic circle in the North Country and Oran, Anna also arranged the magic circle between several districts in Oran this time, but because of the high cost of a ride - there is no way to suppress it. It's really expensive-so except for the wealthy nobles and some people who are engaged in large-scale business activities who can use it, it is still difficult for ordinary citizens to use the magic circle to communicate.

"Want to eat?" Seeing Anna curiously looking at a newly opened dessert shop, Iliad asked her.

Anna was embarrassed to say that she thought about the territory again as she was walking, and she was too absorbed for a while. When she heard Iliad's question, she nodded and led him in.

Unexpectedly, she suddenly remembered what the orc Koja told her a long time ago.

Kejia has always been very disliked and wary of Iliad. Since the first meeting with the Elf King, there has been such a "historical origin", and it has not improved until now, but Iliad is also in Oran. After standing firm, everyone got used to him following Anna all the time, like a clingy cat.

Sometimes, people even joked that the Iliad was like Tarr, the white hair that unfortunately lost its life in the shipwreck came back as a human.

Ana didn't tell anyone about the cat turning into a human, but it was a bit of a shock to hear it at first.

However, Koja's dislike of the Iliad is also very special.

On the one hand, Iliad is completely out of his sight. As an orc, although he is a werewolf who has broken away from certain instincts, Kejia still has a certain intuition for judgment. Although he feels that Iliad is not He is a bad guy and has also confirmed that he did not do bad things, but he still feels that his weirdness makes him instinctively vigilant.

On the other hand, the Iliad's name gave him some bad experiences.

It sounds a little bit like carping, but this is indeed what Kejia has in mind.

As an orc adventurer, when he was not injured by darkness in his early years and it was difficult to heal, he once ventured alone, and later joined some other teams, and later formed a team with the other two leaders of the orc king .

Kejia has also traveled to many places, and because of his werewolf physique, his mobility is amazing and his speed has been to many remote places, not only limited to places under the culture of the God of Light——

Rather, because he is a beastman, his belief in the beast king or beast god is not very strong, so he can go to some remote cultural places without burden.

Interestingly, he once lived in a place that should be believed by the dark god for a while, and felt very bad.

Generally speaking, outsiders are repelled by the settlement of minority beliefs, but because he is a werewolf, he can get bonuses at night and moonlit night. It has always been said that werewolves should believe in darkness, which is why many orcs will One of the reasons for being discriminated against, but in a place where believers of the Dark God gather, they will be relatively tolerant of Kejia, an outsider.

Kejia's living experience there was not good, but he had to stay there at the time to let himself recuperate for a while.

There, he found that these people who believe in the dark god are actually no different from most humans who believe in the light god. Except for some fanatics, the others look very ordinary.

But one thing is, they seem to trust one of the many children named Iliad.

However, that kid didn't like Ke Jia very much and caused him a lot of trouble, so the vengeful werewolf remembered it very clearly.

However, after leaving that small place, he came to another place by chance, which is the gathering place of ancient Guangming believers who are relatively far away and have relative beliefs.

That place is also closed, and the people in the village do not go out. Everyone believes in the God of Light and is devout.

To Kejia's surprise, in this small village where the God of Light believed, they called Iliad a "betrayer".

Later, Koja was surprised to find that the children in their village would call the Iliad the name of other children who were excluded, which seemed like an insult.

Of course, away from these two quaint remote inland hamlets, he found that name discrimination did not exist elsewhere.

Kejia always found it incredible, and he didn't understand where the discrimination and hatred came from, but in short, this discovery left a deep impression on him.

Because it involved the issue of belief in the gods, especially the God of Light and the God of Darkness at the same time, he didn't talk about this matter with anyone else, and even this matter was left behind by him.

As a result, when he saw Iliad for the first time, he felt unhappy—at this time, it was only part of the lord's unhappiness that his attention was snatched away by the new rookie, and then he Learned that the newcomer's name was Iliad.

For some reason, Kejia suddenly thought of something so long ago that seemed to have been thrown into the depths of his memory, and the memories surged up, and he couldn't forget it no matter what, and it even directly affected his impression of the Iliad.

Anna looked at Iliad. He was helping her order food. Before she knew it, he had firmly remembered her taste, and he had accurately selected the things she might like in the new dessert shop. .

Noticing her gaze, he turned his head and showed a innocent and harmless smile, his usual good-looking and a little shy look.

Anna smiled back and pushed back the mess of thoughts.
