Chapter 1504 Baicheng Library

Faramir is very young and just turned 30 years old. He looks a bit like his brother, but he looks more intimate than his brother Boromir.

Boromir is the kind of person who likes absolute force and advocates knightly style, while Faramir is different. He pays more attention to personal cultivation, likes music and art, and has a strong interest in magic.

Therefore, his father invited Gandalf to teach Faramir.

Gandalf had no interest in this kind of thing, so he would rather teach Princess Yawen of the Elves than teach human magic.

First, the elves themselves have magic potential. They can basically understand them at a glance and learn from one teaching.

Second, if you want to learn magic and become a qualified magician, you need to understand magic energy. Understanding magic is not a matter of one or two days. Basically, the longer the life span, the greater the magic energy. The life span of an elves can live for tens of thousands of years, so it is very suitable to become a magician. Humans... at most, they can live for a hundred years. In these hundred years, the first twenty years are considered a mess of life. Even if the last twenty years are not smooth in old age, half of the time is sleeping and eating, half of the time is love and having children to reproduce, and half of the time is distracted and stunned. The time that humans can truly use to study, and the total amount of the whole thing is only a few years. Such an impetuous life cannot understand the true meaning of magic.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out, there is absolutely genius.

But genius has always been a minority, not a common phenomenon.

Gandalf was not very happy to teach Faramir at first, he was just giving Prime Minister Gondor a face.

After all, Aisinger, the territory of the Saint White Council, was in the territory of Gondor, and he could be regarded as a guest of Gondor, no matter how he said that.

Gandalf naturally felt embarrassed to refuse to agree to the owner's request.

His original intention was just perfunctory. After the Prime Minister's son lost interest in magic, he would be considered to have completed the task.

However, when he first saw Faramir, he immediately realized that this child was indeed very smart and really studious, not to show off for a while.

So Gandalf taught Faramir seriously for two years and developed magic theory knowledge for Faramir.

Of course, Faramir was unable to become a magician in the end - after all, it is really difficult for humans to become a magician.

However, Faramir's mastery of magic knowledge was not bad at all. He could even simply summon a flame and move objects from the air.

Gandalf was very pleased with this.

Unfortunately, Gandalf could not put all his focus on Faramir, and Faramir, as the second son of the Prime Minister, had many other things to do.

Therefore, after Faramir became an adult, Gandalf did not teach new magic knowledge.

But Faramir still regards Gandalf as his teacher.

Now, Faramir has become the escort general of Baicheng, which is a job he does not like. In his opinion, this boring job should be from his brother Boromir.

However, his brother is more unruly and bold than him. He is clearly the son of the prime minister and his future first heir. His brother Boromir is more willing to be a ranger and hang out with some robbers all day long.

Therefore, the work of caring for Baicheng's safety can only fall on him.

Gandalf's sudden visit made Faramir very happy.

He hadn't seen his mentor for a long time, and something unusual must have happened with his mentor. He was very eager to take risks with his mentor.

Faramir asked excitedly: "Teacher, you are here this time. Is there anything I can do to serve you?"

Gandalf immediately said: "It just so happens that Faramir, I'm going to go to the Royal Library to check an important information."

Faramir hurriedly said, "This is simple, please follow me in the teacher."

As he said that, Faramir took Gandalf into the heavily guarded palace, and instead went to the main hall to visit the prime minister, he went directly to the Royal Library.

The Royal Library in Baicheng is very grand, and the books here are vast as the sea. From the First Age to the Third Age, books from tens of thousands of years have been stored here.

The text on some books has been lost for a long time and is difficult for anyone to understand, but it is still preserved here.

Gandalf often said that this is the true treasure of the human race.

Unfortunately, except for his student Faramir, everyone in Baicheng is busy fighting for power and profit, and no one cares about these unrealized treasures.

"I used to want to arrange these books in the order of the year, but unfortunately I didn't have much time and the work was very slow. So far, I have only sorted out one-twentieth of the books in the entire library." Faramir said apologetically.

"You have done a good job." Gandalf looked at the vast bookshelf and said quietly.

Faramir asked, "Teacher, what book are you looking for?"

Gandalf said: "A book written by an elves mainly talks about the characteristics of the Lord of the Rings if they are forged, and the characteristics of each Ring."

Faramir nodded immediately, "Ah! I know that book, and I still have a lot of impression of that book. I remember that book should be on the fifth circular shelf in the second hall, but I can't remember it any more details."

Gandalf said in amazement: "You have really helped me."

If he had found it himself, he might not be able to find it next month. However, after having the clues from Faramir, he could find the book at most half a day.

Faramir was praised by his teacher and naturally felt very happy. "Teacher, I have nothing to do anyway, so why don't I find it for you. I will start looking for it from the left side of the circular bookshelf, and you start looking for it from the right side, so that we can save half of the efficiency."

"Thank you, Faramir."

“This is what I should have done.”

The two of them immediately walked to the second hall and began to search seriously.

The library was silent and quiet, and there was only the sound of the two of them reading books.

An hour passed, two hours passed, but Gandalf still couldn't find it.

He couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He began to worry whether Faramir could remember it wrongly.

If Faramir remembers it wrongly, he would have wasted his time in vain.

"Teacher, look, is this book?" Faramir held up a thick, coverless book, and the book's title page reads the line "Improvised error" in the elves.

Gandalf hurriedly walked to Faramir, took the book and turned the page.

The first article talks about the corrupted mind of the Black-robed wizard of the Saint White Council. The second article begins with the matter of Saint White using the Silver Fist of the Elf Forgeator to create various magic rings and distribute them to leaders of various tribes.
