Inside the light gate is indeed a small library.
The reason why it is called small is because the size of this place is only twenty or thirty square meters. Along the wall is a row of wooden shelves, on which some books are sparsely placed. However, faint fluorescent lights can be vaguely seen on each book, as if protected by some kind of witchcraft.
And there are even fewer wizards here. There are only two wizards standing beside the wooden frame, flipping through books like no one else.
"Are you a new wizard? In order to avoid trouble, you'd better wear your organization badge on your chest!" The old wizard sitting at a wooden table at the entrance of the light gate put down his book and reminded with a frown.
It seems that even in public areas, there is also censorship of wandering wizards!
It is conceivable that evil elements like the double-faced wizard who are wanted by the Sandi Tallinn Wizards Association are also forbidden to enter the general public areas.
Greem took out the half-moon silver badge representing the Sarubo family from his storage belt and pinned it on his chest. The old wizard in charge of this place was slightly stunned when he saw it, and said slowly: "From the Sarubo family? It looks very unfamiliar! Could it be that you are the fire demon who just emerged recently?"
Hearing the old wizard's words, the two wizards who were reading by themselves also raised their heads and looked at Greem carefully.
"What's the problem?" Greem asked suspiciously.
"Of course no problem! It's just..." The old wizard hesitated for a moment: "I heard that your Sarubo family and the Black Hand Association are very troubled, and several wizards from the Black Hand Association are often active in Mota City, so when you go in and out Better be careful!"
Hearing that the old wizard also had good intentions, Greem nodded to him with a smile, and then walked towards the nearest bookshelf.
Picked up a hardshell sheepskin book with a blue cover...
"Gulliver's Travels".
It seems to be a travel journey recorded by an official wizard. Although it does not involve any advanced knowledge and theory of witchcraft, some special monsters and plants described and recorded in the book still have certain reference value.
The price of this book is 10 magic crystals.
Greem put it aside.
Such books are of little value, but it is also good to enrich the chip database!
He picked up another piece of ancient parchment, which seemed to depict some kind of witchcraft refining formula, highly poisonous. It's just that the refining process, material ratio, and precautions are all protected by a faint fluorescence.
The price is 400 magic crystals!
Greem hesitated for a moment, then put it back.
He has no plans to switch careers to become a pharmacist in the short term. Besides, this kind of physical poison formula doesn't seem to have much effect on wizards, so it's really not necessary to spend 400 magic crystals for it.
I picked up many books one after another, but most of them were very common basic theories. Occasionally, I found some improved witchcraft models, but the prices of all of them were ridiculously high. This made Greem shake his head while reading, and browsed through half of the library, but only selected three books of some value.
This is actually inevitable!
After all, this library is only a public library open to the public in the Wizard Tower of Mota City. This place is only visited by wandering wizards or those with a lot of cash.
As for the truly valuable knowledge, there is obviously another place to store it, and it is only open to the members of the wizard tower. Only duckweeds with no roots like the Black Hand Association who are willing to regard this place as their headquarters and be able to undertake some daily tasks of the Wizard Tower can be regarded as internal members of the Wizard Tower and become one of the defenders of the public area!
"Hey, boy from the Sarubo family, there seems to be a little girl looking for you outside..." the voice of the old wizard came.
"Understood!" Greem came to the door with three books, and after handing over the magic crystal, he asked the old wizard to release the protective magic circle on the books.
When Greem came out through the light gate, he saw Alice outside.
The apprentice, Tollie, was absent, and seemed to have been sent away by Alice.
"I have already booked the boat ticket for tomorrow afternoon, and I will stay at the Bruceland Hotel tonight!"
After this period of contact, Alice seems to have accepted her fate, and is no longer as full of temper as before. And once she calmed down, relying on the clever mind of the quasi-witch, she could help Greem solve many unnecessary troubles!
Following Alice to the hotel, Greem directly ordered the waiter to bring food and drink into the room. And he quickly collected the contents of the three books into the chip database, and then continued to study those extremely weird alien runes.
After receiving the old wizard's warning and reminder, Greem also put away his plan to wander around Mota City, and stayed in the hotel without moving an inch.
Until Alice and Kirby came to remind him that it was almost time to board the ship!
...
When Greem brought Alice and Kirby to the docking point in Mota City, a flying boat somewhat similar to the last time was slowly landing on a green lawn on a high ground.
There are no hot air balloons or propellers, only the golden light is shining on the wide and flat bottom of the airship, and a looming witch array is stimulating the airflow of variable strength, supporting it to fall smoothly.
The airship that Greem took last time seemed to have a pointed bottom, obviously not as large as the flat-bottomed one in front of him.
Near the high platform, there are crowds of people.
Carriages loaded with goods have long been waiting here, and a large group of sturdy coolies hummed and yelled, first moving the goods out of the cabin, and then loading new goods .
On the lawn around the highland, some people wearing wizard robes were chatting leisurely, and seemed to be waiting to board the ship.
It didn't take half an hour for the cargo to be unloaded.
As a result, the wizards who were passengers and some guys dressed as nobles also started to board the ship one after another, standing on the edge of the rail and waving down frequently.
From the lawn below the boat came the sound of shouting and weeping.
Soon, as the energy fluctuations of the witch array at the bottom of the ship gradually increased, wrapped in strong wind particles, the flying ship shook slightly and left the ground.
Looking at the flying ship that is gradually rising, in a wooden house in the distance, two wizards are looking at this side with vicious eyes, with strong unwillingness and resentment in their eyes.
"My lord, let him go like this?" A middle-aged wizard with a sharp face said bitterly.
"What else can we do if we don't let him go?" Another wizard is the president of the Black Hand Association, Green Dwarf Palo: "This is Mota City, and it's not our turn to be in charge! That old guy I have been warned that if I dare to kill the visiting wizards in Mota City, they will refuse to provide us with shelter! At that time, the poisonous eel of the Sarubo family may wish to swallow us!"
"This guy named Fire Demon is also very alert. He actually hid in the hotel and never came out, which made some of our secret plans come to naught. Did he get any rumors?" The thin wizard was still indignant.
"I already know this! It seems that the old guys did it too. They warned the kid secretly!" Palo's eyes flashed with viciousness.
"My lord, you have to be more careful in the organization!" The skinny wizard hesitated, "I heard..."
"What did you hear?"
"I heard that an organization is already in contact with Fei Nan and Valier!"
Palo was startled when he heard this.
It took him more than two hundred years to win over the six first-level wizards in the organization. The loss of one of the strongest Maxlans a while ago was enough to make his heart ache. If the remaining wizards were taken away by taking advantage of the black hand association's downturn, how would his dream of the Palo family be realized
"What have you heard? Hurry up and tell me carefully..."
The two wizards put their heads together and began to chat in a low voice.
Greem, who knew nothing about all of this, was standing on the edge of the ship, silently looking down at the scenery below him.
As the flying ship rose higher and higher, everything on the ground became smaller and smaller.
Even the majestic Wizard Tower, which was originally soaring into the sky, looked a little slender at the moment, like a thick cigar inserted in a big cake.
The area where Mota City is located, overlooked from a high altitude, reveals gray and white ground and colorful buildings. Around the city, there are large golden wheat fields and square human villages and towns. A little further away, there are rolling green forests and gray and white trails like sheep intestines.
The road opened up by humans is winding and winding, and some more slender forks are branched out from time to time. From a distance, these gray and white trails are more like blood vessels sprawling out of the green forest.
As the flying ship continued to rise, the temperature around the body began to drop significantly, and the cold wind whizzed past, making people shiver uncontrollably.
Of course, such a small problem couldn't bother a wizard. As a layer of faint red fluorescent light appeared on his body, Greem warmed up again.
Since choosing the fire specialization, the elemental particles of the other lineages have basically begun to repel Greem. This also indicates that it is difficult for Greem to use his own strength to successfully release other pedigree elemental witchcraft, and he can only go black on the fire system!
But fortunately, there are witchcraft equipment such as magic wands in the world. A magic wand enchanted with create water can keep Greem from dying of thirst in the desert, and a magic wand enchanted with flying can also prevent him from falling from the sky to his death.
If it doesn't work, there are still some golems of different shapes and types in his belt that can be used.
Therefore, Greem never worried about his own safety even though he was entrenched at a height of nearly a thousand meters.
The scenery under the boat quickly became accustomed to it, and it was no longer difficult to attract Greem's attention. So, he shifted his sight to the deck of the flying ship.
Those few nobles obviously couldn't resist the cold at high altitude, they had already got back into the cabin, and those who could stay on the deck were wizards. Moreover, each of their bodies was shrouded in a faint fluorescent light, obviously they all had their own means of keeping out the cold.
