Chapter 57 The Library of the Magic Guild

As the only official organization of magicians, the Magic Guild has opened its own branches throughout every corner of Tarenmiya. The magicians it encompasses have even crossed the boundaries of race, and even some foreign cities have branches of Magic Guild.

After Xu Yue walked into the hall of the Magic Guild branch, he saw that everyone coming and going here were wearing a mage robe and couldn't help but sigh. You should know that magicians are not common as spell casting professions, and only places like the Magic Guild can see so many of them.

The first floor of the entire Magic Guild Tower is a huge office hall. Some people talk to some magic apprentices who are obviously clerks at the counters that specialize in handling various things, and some magicians are sitting in the lounge area in the hall talking about something together.

Xu Yue even saw a gnome mage and an elves mage holding a pamper that seemed to be portraying a magic circle and arguing about something. The two of them did not care about the difference in race and height between the two sides.

Seeing him standing alone by the door of the hall looking around, a man in a magic robe came over and saw that the mark on the robe was a senior magic apprentice, who should be the clerk of the Magic Guild to whom he belonged.

"May the mystery of magic guide you! Hello! Do you have anything to do?" The magic apprentice put his hand on his right shoulder and pointed it. This is the usual etiquette for a mage to meet.

"Hello! This is my first time in the Magic Guild. Where should I go if I want to handle the business of paying money and borrowing books?" Xu Yue said after replying politely.

"If you want to handle money business, you can handle it at the No. 5 counter in the lobby on the first floor. As for borrowing books, please go to the library on the third floor to handle it." The magic apprentice introduced.

After thanking this magic apprentice, Xu Yue found Counter No. 5 according to the sign at the counter in the lobby. What made him a little different was that the clerk who helped people handle business here turned out to be a green-skinned goblin. The goblin was also wearing a mage robe, and the logo on it was marked with the high-level magic apprentice.

This made him sigh that the Magic Guild has indeed achieved tolerance for magicians regardless of race. You should know that because of the talent of the goblins, the probability of becoming a magician is very low. Unexpectedly, he saw a goblin magician just in a division of labor. However, letting a goblin handle money business really make the best use of it.

"What business do you have to handle?" asked the goblin in his unique sharp voice. This gave him the illusion that his partner, Avo, was sitting next to him.

At the same time, the goblin slightly pressed a magic circle the size of a bottle cap next to it, and a magic barrier immediately enveloped the two of them. Not only could they not see the scene inside, but they could not hear the sound inside.

"I borrowed some money from the Magic Guild before, but now I want to pay off the debt." Xu Yue said politely after adjusting her mood.

The goblin did not observe him too much, but took out a form and said, "Please fill in the date of your debt and the time, location and number of the loan contract you signed. In addition, you must sign your own name. Finally, please give me the repayment amount. If the amount is too large, please use a memory card."

Xu Yue immediately felt like he was withdrawing money from the Earth Bank with the form in his hand, but he quickly dispelled the strangeness in his heart, and then quickly filled in his information on the form. Then he took out a gold coin memory card and handed it to the goblin.

The goblin put the memory card into a small magic circle on the table and operated it for a while, and a smooth flashed slightly on the memory card. Then the goblin raised his head and said, "The amount you borrowed is 200,000 gold coins, plus the interest over this period, a total of 210,000 gold coins! The money has been deducted from your card, you can check the amount."

While Xu Yue lamented that the Magic Guild's magic automation level is almost the same as that of the Earth, he was also helpless about the interest rate on the Magic Guild's borrowing. After all, he was not a formal loan from the relevant borrowing institutions at that time, so it is understandable that the interest rate is higher.

After completing the repayment, the goblin gently tapped the magic circle where the card was released. The next moment, a light ball of ping-pong size appeared on the magic circle. He handed the light ball to Xu Yue and said: "This is the magic contract signed when borrowing. Now the contract has been completed. As long as you take back the contract core, you can terminate the contract."

Xu Yue learned about this from books. When he pressed the ball of light on his head, he suddenly felt that a layer of restraint on his soul seemed to have suddenly disappeared. He knew that this was a phenomenon of being lifted after the conditions were met for the magic contract.

After giving a slight salute, he left the first floor lobby and walked up from a spiral upward staircase.

The second floor of the Magic Guild seems to be used for various transactions. Some magicians buy some things from time to time at the counter here. Some people sell some things. He did not come over. This time his main purpose was the library on the third floor.

As the largest official organization of magicians in Tarenmiya, the Magic Guild has been established for nearly tens of thousands of years, which is almost longer than the emergence of human civilization on Earth. In such a long time, the Magic Guild has been established from scratch, and has collected and accumulated magic knowledge that ordinary people cannot imagine over the long years. It can be said that this is the most noble holy land for magicians.

Nowadays, as long as a magician registered in the Magic Guild can pay a certain amount of money to check and learn magic knowledge. Although this knowledge is only the most basic and ordinary, the huge foundation of the Magic Guild still makes this knowledge amazing like an ocean.

Pushing open the door that wrote the library in Tarenmiya's common language, Xu Yue was stunned by the magnificent landscape in front of him. The Magic Guild's magic tower itself is only 40 meters in diameter, but the room looks at least 500 meters in length and width.

Rows of bookshelves are neatly arranged in this room, and the books placed on the bookshelf make people feel as if they are about to be buried by books.

"May the mystery of magic guide you! What books do you want to borrow, young mage?" A gentle voice came from the side.

After Xu Yue turned around, he saw an old mage wearing a magic robe sitting behind a table that was obviously used for office work. The mark on the old mage's chest showed that he was a level 3 mage. The mage looked in his sixties, with long snow-white hair neatly combed backwards, and the smile on his face made people feel a gentleness immersed in people's hearts.

Xu Yue, a little embarrassed, bowed and said, "Sorry! I have never been to the guild's library before, so I was surprised by the huge scale here."

The old magician nodded and smiled, "You don't have to care. In fact, every magician who comes here for the first time will perform the same way as you! After all, magic about space cannot be seen everywhere else. So, young mage, do you need any help?"

Xu Yue said with some respect to the old magician who is obviously a librarian: "I borrowed several books such as the introduction of the basic characteristics of elements, the basic principles of spell model structure, the initial explanation of magic formulas, and the detailed explanation of first-level general spells."

After hearing his words, the old magician looked at him and said with a smile: "It seems that you are going to learn the relevant knowledge of a first-level magician, but you are just starting to read this knowledge, but it is a little lagging behind. After all, knowledge is the basis of magic learning."

Xu Yue smiled helplessly and said, "I have no choice. My teacher passed away in an accident, and I couldn't come to the Magic Guild because of some things, so I could only delay it until now."

After hearing his words, the old mage nodded understandingly and said, "The road to pursuing the mystery of magic is always full of dangers. Your teacher is not the first seeker to fall down on the road to pursuing the mystery of magic. Put away your sadness and move forward bravely. This is the best reward for your teacher's teaching. Well, when you get old, you talk too much. This is the book you want. As long as you show your inheritance mark and pay 400 gold coins, you can come here to read these books within ten days, but you can't take them out of the library!"

After saying that, the old mage waved his hand and saw four books flying out of several bookshelfs in the distance and coming to him. Xu Yue was not surprised that the old mage could use the mage's hand to hold books at such a distance, but what surprised him was that the other party could find the book he wanted from such a huge crowd of books without reading it. This was necessary to understand the location of these hundreds of thousands of books.

Looking at the smiling old mage, Xu Yue took the four books with gratitude, and then displayed the inheritance mark on his right hand to a special magic circle. After passing the test, he paid the borrowing fee with a gold coin storage card.

Two-thirds of the area of ​​the library are used to store bookshelf. The rest are used to store benches and tables. Many magicians are sitting on the benches and putting books on the table in front of them to read.

The entire library looks like the libraries of the universities on Earth, and can only hear the sound of books flipping. If you weren't for seeing some magical creatures staying on the magicians and some magic patterns flashing on the equipment next to them, you would think this is just an ordinary university library.

Xu Yue found a remote and no one else's seat and sat down. After quietly opening the basic book, he first read the brief content of the book, and then picked up a book to read it in detail. However, as time passed, a strange look gradually appeared on his face.
Chapter completed!
