Game Transmigration: Saving the World Again 1000 Years Later
Chapter 154 - 154 Library and Illusions

154 Library and Illusions

“The first level contains ordinary books. Most of them are historical documents, books on tools, legendary stories, myths… Of course, there are also some general knowledge magic textbooks, but their level is about the same as your current textbooks. However, there’s a gap of more than a thousand years, so they might bring about some new ideas, but they’re generally not very useful.”

William led Grimm into the library illuminated by the starlight dome.

This was a Baroque-styled building floating in the cosmos. A faint starlight seeped through the gorgeous huge floor-to-ceiling colorful windows, embellishing the complicated and exquisite interior of the building with dreamy colors.

Towering bookshelves extended to the dome. Candle-shaped spirits that flickered with dark-blue flames floated everywhere in midair. They were both the guardians of the library and the main lighting equipment here.

This was the library inside William’s Treasure Hall.

The in-game achievement of Perfect Collector didn’t include all the books. This was because although the game developers had designed a sea of books, only a few books had specific content. Most books were only designed with a book cover and a name. Moreover, compared to other items or equipment, the distribution of books on the map was too scattered. It was very easy to replace repeats. Therefore, a normal player wouldn’t consider collecting all the books.

However, it was obvious that William wasn’t an ordinary player.

He had collected all the books in-game, including those that only had book covers and titles that could only be used for decoration at home. Furthermore, he had duplicated the Void Sovereign’s Forbidden Sage’s Library of the Dead through the control panel in the Treasure Hall and stored all the books inside.

After transmigrating, William realized that not only was the content of the books in the library filled, but the Forbidden Sage’s spawn had been copied as well. The Candle Spirit and Archivist were under his control.

Unfortunately, due to the characteristics of these Moon Realm spirits that were similar to Currere-bound spirits, they couldn’t leave the library.

“The things on the second level are relatively valuable. Grimoires ranging from Apprentice to Master, all the alchemy formulas, enchantment formulas, and basic rune combinations I could replace on the continent back then… In short, if the former glory of Blackwater Offa University is to be restored, just 10 to 20% of the knowledge on the second level needs to be taught.”

As William spoke, he brought Grimm up to the second level of the library on turquoise runes out of thin air. A few burning Candle Spirits floated over and illuminated their surroundings.

Grimm’s gaping mouth hadn’t closed since he entered the library.

This place was simply the dream of all magic chanters who took it upon themselves to pursue the truth of the world. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that this place represented the truth itself.

It could be said that other than Battle Mages who used their training in magic as a killing tool, any magic chanter would feel soul shocked when they saw the endless bookshelves and the faint light of the grimoires that stretched into the distance.

It was all due to excitement and exhilaration.

The number of books in the library in front of him was probably comparable to when the Astral Council emptied all the magic academies on the continent during the Great Burning Book campaign when the Astral Laws were promoted.

Even the Astral Council’s library didn’t have so many grimoires.

“I won’t bring you up to the third and fourth levels. Let’s not talk about Legendary and Divine Realm magic books first. There are many books on the third level that seal Lunar Monsters or powerful spirit bodies. Those things are too dangerous for you. As for the fourth level… just pretend that the fourth level doesn’t exist,”

William said vaguely. When he sensed no reply from the person behind him, he turned his head.

At this moment, Grimm was looking at the endless bookshelves in a daze. No matter how he called out, there was no reaction.

“Hey, come back to your senses!” William patted the other party’s shoulder and said.

Grimm finally came back to his senses. He held William’s hand with a trembling hand and said, “Lord William! No, Lord Eighth Holy Spirit!”

“Don’t call me that…” William said helplessly.

“What do you want me to do for you? What price do I have to pay to borrow a few books from this library?”

In the current Riel Empire, every magic chanter who pursued magic had the honor of being able to enter the library in Ring City for training. That library contained a sea of grimoires. It was said that as long as talented people could train there for a year, their path to the Legendary domain would be greatly smoother. At the very least, there wouldn’t be a huge problem in theory.

Even the Ring City Library couldn’t compare to the library in front of him.

“Borrow a few books?”

William repeated Grimm’s words in confusion. Then, he said, “No… You’ve misunderstood. I didn’t bring you here to talk about remuneration. If I want to use Offa University as the core to rebuild the entire Blackwater Swamp’s magic teaching system in the future, it’s far from enough with your current teaching strength. I hope you can make good use of the resources here and nurture a batch of teachers to be the backbone before…”

Before William could finish speaking, his expression changed slightly.

“That little rascal…”

…

Layton kept pacing in the underground chamber, looking extremely anxious.

After a while, he walked to a side door of the chamber, but two black-armored guards stopped him.

He turned to look at the guard captain and said, “Do you know how much Vincent cares about his daughter?”

“It’s precisely because I know that I went through so much trouble to kidnap her,” the other party replied.

Layton rubbed his temples in frustration and said, “You know that the little bastard’s eyes never left her. Then, you listened to the orders of ‘His Grace’ and left the two of them in the same room without allowing for any disturbances?”

“Sir Layton, watch your words,” the Minister of Espionage said.

“If Vincent replaces out what happened here, all of you will die,” Layton ignored his threat and continued.

“Why do you care what a dead person thinks?” the guard captain said.

“Because the ‘dead person’ you’re talking about has already reached the Legendary domain. Even though we’ve made so much preparation, he can pull all of us to hell before he dies,” Layton said through gritted teeth.

“Then, wouldn’t it be fine as long as he dies before knowing…”

Before the Minister of Espionage could finish speaking, a sound came from the side door.

Layton’s expression darkened.

Fools… These two are anxious to curry favor, and the person behind the door has less than 10% of his father’s intelligence… Layton thought.

However, what happened behind the door was different from what everyone had guessed.

Jesse Walde collapsed to the ground and was snoring slightly. As for Liliana, whose clothes were a little disheveled, she was looking at the fatty in disgust.

The horn mark iron plate on her chest was emitting some light.

“If Vincent replaces out about this, he probably won’t care about the friendship between old friends anymore. Instead, he will personally kill this piece of trash,” Liliana said softly.

It was William’s voice.
