Master Kado was very light and felt that he was far inferior to the weight-bearing training that Dagon had performed. The old man used his fingers to draw the direction of his progress and guided Dagon to move between the bookshelf. He rarely spoke, as if to reduce his physical energy consumption.

After passing through more than thirty rows of shelves and down more than seventy steps, Dagon thought he was about to fall to the next floor of Jian Ancient City. At this moment, Master Kado asked him to turn right and come to five boxes marked "sealed ancient books".

"Find a place for me to sit down, and then take me the catalogue in the white stone box." Master Kado gasped gently and said, "Please be careful, it is parchment inside. It will be easy to break after a long time. Child, please bring it over and give it to me."

Dagon nodded and acted as he said. Master Kado opened the small box, and there were five old sheepskin scrolls side by side, which were the catalog of the five "sealed ancient books" boxes on the ground. "These are very ancient studies and no copying is done now. In addition to this, there are backups in Mopan City and Xialin City, and there are no secret Namilius. Yes, kid, I know you are going to Semilius, and I also know that you are Dagon Olison Neil."

"Do you know me?"

"I have heard of you. Chief Kurt came to me to find information about the invasion of the Kingu people and told me about you. Half a year ago, Antoine Preba IV—oh, Lord Antoine Neil also came to me to ask about the Neil family's letter records sixty years ago, and also mentioned you. You are very easy to recognize - just pay attention to the scales on your chest."

"Master Kado, is there any scales like me mentioned in ancient books?"

"You are not an ancient man, why are you in ancient books?" Master Kado finished reading the first volume of parchment, skipped the second one and picked up the third one. "The person who records you will be in the future, your present will forge your history. If you live according to the book, then you will become a dead person? Child, are you so young, thinking of becoming a statue?"

"That won't." Dagon shook his head: "Everyone is worried that I have monster bloodlines, and I will keep trying not to let monster bloodlines affect me."

"Become a monster? I guess the monster dares not want you!" Kado laughed in a low voice, then raised his head: "Okay, I found it, I have a good memory. It's in the third box called "Transforming Qi into Stone", and the author is Anri Erkses."

Dagon nodded, came to the third box, and was about to push it away carefully, Master Kado said, "Dagon, I want to ask you something."

"You said." Dagon opened the box cover and turned around to look at the old dwarf.

"You go to the elite academy of Semi-Namilis and find a way to find me a set of petrified spells, scrolls, and Ion stones, as long as they can be used. I want to make someone turn me into a statue and place it at the entrance of the library during my term."

"Master Kado, I don't know how to get the petrified reels from the Elite Academy, nor how to send them back, but I will do my best."

"Okay, your words sound reassuring." Master Kado said: "Child, I didn't take this opportunity to ask you to do something, but I just felt that I couldn't hold on to the lifting of the lockdown order before I went to find the petrochemical scroll. It turned out that Lord Egg was very good at using earth element spells, and he had a great hope of learning petrochemical techniques. Unfortunately, he died early and too early."

Dagon said no, and continued to search in the box. He was not very interested in the matter of the Neil family, and Lord Eiger rarely heard the name, so he didn't care about it. His eyes were fixed on the books in the box, and finally saw "Transforming Qi into Stone - An Attempt to Cycle Infinite Mana" on a gray metal cover.

"Wow, this title is very attractive: infinite mana cycle." Dagon picked up the book and looked it carefully. "This book is a bit heavy, I'm afraid it's not a thousand pages? Is it safe to open it now?"

"Let me take a look first. Please put it on my knees so I don't have to go over and get it." Master Kado put the catalog scroll, then took out the monocle glasses from his pocket and stuffed them into the deep eye sockets, and then said, "I haven't read this book for a long time, and I almost forgot what material it uses."

"Master Cardo, do you mean you still remember what it is?"

"Well, of course I can remember, otherwise how can I recommend it to you? You are good, smarter than the former Lord Aeger and faster. He used to like reading books, such as spells. But his favorite books are some legendary stories, such as the Dragon Knight or the Conquest of the Demon Realm. Oh, I mentioned Ige, mainly because he came here more often than Antoine, so don't think too much. The current Lord will not come here for a few years. Even if I turn into a statue and hide it at the door, they will not find it."

Master Kado was nagging, gently rubbing his fingers on the cover, squinting his eyes, and seemed not to be looking at things, but fell into memories. "Yes, yes, I remembered it. The inner page of this book is the skin of the Contract Demon, which is tanned with holy water and then made into velvet paper. It is fire-proof, acid-proof and insect-proof, and it will be damaged under strong light or lightning. However, the Jiangu people are all underground, and the strong light and lightning cannot penetrate the mountains above their heads, so this book can be saved very well. Come, take it."

"I'm holding it?" Dagon asked with his head tilted, "I'm just borrowing it for a while, not trying to take it away."

"How long will it take for you to finish reading? There are 1,001 pages of this book." Master Kado shook his head and said, "If you don't count me, no one has read this book for more than 500 years, and no one has read it in another five hundred years. You just need to remember to return it before you die."

Dagon hesitated for a while, and although he took the book, he was still very determined. His determination was like other Jiangu people. "Master Kado, it is convenient to take the book away, but I want to go to Mianamilis. It is said that the Jiangu people there are very bullied, and I am worried that this book will be implicated and damaged by me. Master Kado, is it good to do this? Before leaving Jiangu City, I will do my best to copy it down or memorize it... Well, I probably can't recite it."

"Then copy it!" The old dwarf smiled after being rejected, and he said, "Let's make a bet. If you can copy this book before you leave, I will give you a souvenir. If you can't copy it, you have to admit that you are arrogant, and then listen to me and take the book away."

"Master Cardo, isn't it all I earn in this bet?"

"Boy, I haven't finished it yet." Master Kado said with a smile: "A petrochemical scroll cost 15,000 gold coins two hundred years ago. Now I don't know how much it costs. I'll count as 16,000 gold coins. If you can copy it, when you give me the scroll, I will give your parents 16,000 gold coins, that is, the steel-cast couple. If you can't copy it, then you give me the scroll and I won't give it money. Of course, you can choose not to give me the scroll, and you won't lose money, right?"

"Then listen to you." Dagon patted the cover and said, "Master Kado, if I ask you how to copy a book faster, you won't be selfish and not tell me, right?"

"Definitely not, the beard is evidence." Master Kado smiled and narrowed his eyes, but the monocle glasses were squeezed down. Fortunately, Dagon quickly caught it, otherwise the master would start to lose money today.

Put the box in order and then carry Master Kado to find some copying tools. Dagon thought that only some ink, parchment, etc. was needed, but Master Kado said that the content of "Transforming Qi into Stone" was very complicated and needed some drawing tools. Charcoal pens with ropes and nails, several deformable rulers, and a special tool for fixing pages, and then synchronizing the movements and copying graphics through leverage.

In addition to several pens with different thicknesses and different functions and inks, the whole set was combined into the small box and was a copying tool box. Dagon held the box in front of his chest and walked back steadily to the entrance of the library. There were three rooms here, which were originally the workroom for the copying personnel, but now it is the residence of Master Kado. He also had a residence in Jian Gucheng, and the residence in the library was mainly used for lunch breaks and reading.

The space for this temporary resting place was small, with four tables stuffed, so the sleeping bag could only be placed in the corner, and the space was occupied by a large number of copied books. Seeing this small room and the full collection of books, Dagon knew that Master Kado was a person who really likes to read, a person who cared about books and knowledge.

"Master Kado, I have a room in the Lord's Mansion, the one that former Lord Eiger lived when he was a child. Lord Ganlaoda said that the room will be mine in the future, and I will go to Minamelis, so I would like to ask you to help me live in that room?" Dagon gently put down the old dwarf and continued, "If no one lives, I'm afraid the room will be gone."

"As long as you are still alive, the room is yours. You are a Neil, that's not wrong!" Master Kado said, "Okay, there is a place nearby to live, why not? I'll give the servants some money and ask them to clean up the room. It's okay."

When talking about money, Dagon became concerned and asked, "Master Kado, how did you make money? My parents couldn't save money. Was it all caused by the city lockdown order?"

"My wife died early, and the child went out to live in Tianxia City alone, so I didn't have to worry about it. I used to copy books, organize materials, crack riddles, maps, etc., and saved some money. Usually, I only like reading books, and eating is very simple. The key is that I can't smoke in the library, and I dare not drink to make things worse. The Jiangu people don't like anything, so I spend less money. Don't learn from me, I can't learn it. You have to practice martial arts, practice magic, grow your body, and gather magic power. These all cost money. Dagon, it's hard for you to save money."

"Hehe, hehe." Dagon was still thinking about making more money to improve his family's life, so he definitely wouldn't think he would spend all his money. He laughed, just because it was not easy to directly refute Master Kado's words.
