Chapter 939 Six. In the library
library.
There was no sign of the gatekeeper in front of the open door, and Lu Li could see the bookshelves arranged inside the library and the students reading on the long brown birch wood tables.
The quietness of the library and the smell of books make people feel good. Lu Li looked around, except for the corner where the bookshelf was placed, he didn't see the stairs leading to the upper floor.
Lu Li disturbed a lower grade student who was reading "History of Giant Tree Academy". He pointed to the steps surrounded by bookshelves and informed Lu Li that the second floor was on the lower floor.
That is the area for middle school students.
"Can lower grade students enter?"
"Uh... There is no prohibition, but sometimes the gatekeeper will stop us, and the lower-level knowledge is too early for us..." The student told Lu Li everything he knew.
Approaching the bookshelf steps leading to the second floor, Lu Li saw the gatekeeper, and he was the emaciated gatekeeper who guarded the gate last night.
With a mocking expression on his face, he watched Lu Li step up the steps without stopping him.
Maybe he realized that he couldn't stop Lu Li.
officially entered the second floor, and the layout of the middle-grade library changed. The bookshelves are thicker, and the color is also a dark gray close to iron wood, as if this can block the pollution from book knowledge.
There are also students who have also changed, and there are almost no lower grade students here.
Different from the different clothes of the lower grades, the shaman-style or religious-style robes and cloaks covering the whole body have become the mainstream. Considering that Giant Tree Academy does not issue school uniforms, these are obviously not.
A sense of obscurity lingers around the library and around the students and the books in their hands. They don't seem to be ominous, but they also have nothing to do with "there's nothing here".
Lu Li retracted his gaze because of the appearance of businessman Anthony.
It hasn't been seen for a few days, and its scarf seems to be getting dirtier when it is busy with Wiener's ice-free port affairs.
The arrival of the businessman Anthony did not attract much attention, and only when there was a clear sound unexpectedly would he be seen by many frowning eyes.
It brings the letters of Purse, Ophelia and Hades from hell.
Expands the letter of Purseus, he tells his life in **** for more than ten days in a naive tone. For example, it is very dry here, even the underground is too hot, and every day I wake up with a dry throat. Hades shaved him a lot better, but Ophelia said he was ugly, like a juvenile warthog with a human head on it.
The letter ended with a New Year's gift he had prepared for Lu Li, signed with the paw print of Purseus.
Then Ophelia's letter.
She said Hades was unhappy with her coming, but she felt it was an excuse to make her work because Hades arranged for her to build the fort the next day.
Although Ophelia did feel adequate, this unpaid job quickly bore her.
There is only rock and lava, and they and the ugly, evil lemmings.
But Ophelia has recently found a good way to pass the time. The fantastic sky of **** always gathers all kinds of magnificent and strange huge patterns, and she can stare at the sky for almost a whole day. And just two days ago, she saw a silhouette that looked very much like Lu Li, but unfortunately it disappeared long ago when she found the brush and paper to draw on.
Ophelia told Lu Li not to worry about her and Pusius. Hades had saved them from hell. She also said that if Lu Li needed it, she could get the secret of not being attacked by the power from **** from Prius. Because Haders treats him well as he treats his own son.
Finally, like Physius, Ophelia prepared Lu Li's New Year's gift.
Just wait for the New Year in one month.
The last letter was Hades, and even the stingy no envelope was just a piece of paper: Hades claimed that a lot of raw materials were needed to build a **** fortress for human refuge, and he hoped that Lu Li could provide it. He can give shillings for the sake of mankind. Heavy golden shilling.
"For mankind" and "Remove Ophelia from their living expenses" Hades repeated many times, obviously implying something.
He didn't mention a word about New Year's gifts.
Lu Li briefly wrote a few lines of reply letter to Physius and Ophelia, and said to businessman Anthony: "To meet Hades' needs, remember to ask him to give him the money. The original price."
Waiting for the merchant Anthony to disappear, Lu Li followed the sign to Area 3.
The surrounding bookshelves that connect to the high ceilings are all in zone 3. Fortunately, the book classification allowed Lu Li to find the book that Professor Hagrid hinted at—on the fifth-floor bookshelf that he could reach without lifting his toes.
But just when Lu Li raised his hand to touch it, a terrible palm with dense warts and new warts on the warts grabbed the book and pulled out the shelf.
The middle-grade student who was covered in black robes took it off.
Lu Li didn't think it was a coincidence.
She then revealed this in her hoarse words: "Mr. Lu Li, I've been waiting for you."
"You knew I would come?" Lu Li's black eyes were calm.
Only Professor Hagrid and the gatekeeper knew he was coming to the library.
"A little divination... The story about you spreads quickly, the exorcist with four cursed titles." She recounted what happened dozens of minutes ago. "I have no ill intentions, I just want to invite you to join my team temporarily one day in the future."
Lu Li didn't say anything and walked out.
"If you're looking for a gatekeeper, then you don't have to." Her hoarse voice sounded behind her: "They believe in rules, the book I got first."
Lu Li stopped and faced her again.
"Looks like you need some time to think about it... After you decide, leave a note where you put this book, I'll bring this book... and more knowledge you want."
The shadow under the cloak glanced out of the bookshelf, and she turned to leave on the other side.
At the same time, a figure appeared in the corner of the bookshelf.
"Why did you come here, and you have something to do with that troublesome guy who troubles the family?" Fudot stretched his eyebrows, and suddenly stretched out his white palm to cover his mouth: "Is it because you want to see me quietly—"
"I needed that book and she took it."
"I heard."
Fodor regained the pride unique to a noble lady in a blink of an eye, leaned against the bookshelf, and said to Lu Li, who passed by and was about to leave, "Aren't you going to promise her?"
Lu Li said calmly, "You said trouble, I don't have much time to waste."
"Need help?" Fordot said suddenly.
"Can."
Lu Li blocked most of the light from the oil lamp, and Fudot, who was in the shadows, only had a pair of eyes that were as bright as jewels. She asked softly, "Then what can I get?"
"My thanks."
translates as nothing.
"Deal." Fudot raised her swan-like jaw: "Wait for my good news."
Frodot left, as if she were not part of the conspiracy.
A student or professor with a collar slipped past the pet bookshelf and squeaked down the stairs from the gatekeeper's feet. Lu Li retracted his gaze back to the upper floor and left the library.
