Chapter 64: The Palace of Literary Pursuits
"What's wrong? Do you have a problem?"
"Master Delblau, I appreciate your kindness, but if I were to attend school, wouldn't that mean I'd have to study again? In Carlo's memory, going to school meant a group of children holding books, listening obediently to the teacher, and then taking exams. Those with good grades stayed on, and it continued like that."
"Ahahaha, don't worry about it." De Lan smiled and said "Actually, our school is relatively relaxed. Generally speaking, you just need to complete the courses within the prescribed time limit and pass the exams for the major you applied for. However, some majors are different, such as the martial arts class, their graduation tasks change every year. What I mean is that if you enroll as a graduate student, you'll need a supervisor to vouch for you. But don't worry about this, with my name on it, there won't be any problem. This way, you can come and go freely in the library. The only thing that's a bit of a hassle is that you'll need to submit some results before leaving. It doesn't matter what kind of results they are, as long as your teacher acknowledges them, it's fine. How about this? Is there no problem with this?"
Jia Luo thought for a moment, indeed, if it were so, there would be no problem at all. "Alright, thank you, Master De Lan, I'll trouble you with this matter then." As soon as he finished speaking, he took out the dagger and handed it over.
"Alas, I didn't think that in the end, for my little granddaughter, I'd do something so humiliating. Sorry, but I'll just have to be greedy this once." He took over the dagger.
DeLan Master still prefers speed, directly taking Gallo to school and completing all the procedures. By dusk, Gallo had already seen the library, which is also one of the three major buildings in You City, along with the Adventurer's Paradise, known as the Temple of Writers.
If it weren't for the blue sign, I wouldn't have believed that this beautiful building was a library. Its exterior is like a giant's fist, layered and imposing, giving the impression of a grand opera house rather than a library.
"Hehe, don't be surprised, the buildings here are quite unexpected, you'll get used to them after looking a few more times. Here's your library card. By the way, as a graduate student, you can usually borrow three books at a time in the library, and they must be returned within five days. This is the rule, it can't be changed. If you see a good book, even if you still need it after borrowing for five days, you have to come back and go through the formalities of renewing the loan. Understand?" Master De Lan reminded him.
"Alright, I understand." Gallo bowed to Delan "Thank you very much for your help, Master Delan."
"Also, there's something else I need to remind you of." DeLan suddenly turned serious. "You should know that this is a neutral city, with almost no racial discrimination, but there's one thing I must remind you of: in this school, there are many nobles and royalty from various countries, including beastmen. Although you might not encounter those nobles in the library, never provoke them, as it won't do you any good. You should know that they always have some powerful followers around them, and possibly even family masters protecting them. Got it?"
Garo nodded, but he didn't think so in his heart. "A master? Unless that guy has the power to invite the five great powers, otherwise, he just wants to see who can pose a threat to himself."
Finally entered the library, Galo looked at the sign on the first floor "Hmm... The ground floor has low-level magic books and martial arts books, the second floor is the history section, the third floor is military books, the fourth floor is intermediate magic and martial arts books, and the fifth and sixth floors are world introductions. It's strange, there are nearly ten floors here, but only six floors of information are recorded."
"Because the upper part belongs to school secrets and high-level books, ordinary people can't see it." Suddenly, a voice came from behind Gallo.
Garro frowned, turned around and took a slight glance. It was a relatively handsome man with a gentle smile on his face. Behind him were several heavily made-up women. However, after seeing Garro, their eyes seemed a bit strange. But Garro's personality was such that the fewer things he got involved in, the better. He immediately turned his head back around.
The man suddenly became interested, he was very popular in school, for the first time he met a girl who had no interest in his appearance despite having great confidence in himself. Although the girl didn't look stunning, her lively demeanor made him take notice, unlike the many women around him who were obsessed with dressing up and wearing heavy perfume that made him feel nauseous, this girl was different.
"Miss, what kind of information do you need? If possible, let me take you there. I'm quite familiar with this library." The man hastily offered his services, causing the several women behind him to grit their teeth in anger, their eyes fixed fiercely on Gallo.
Ka Luo didn't even turn her head back because she had already found what she wanted and was about to go upstairs.
This really made a few people angry, and one woman directly stepped forward to grab Garola, but just as her hand was about to touch Garola's, Garola suddenly turned his foot and raised his hand, firmly grasping the woman's hand.
"Ah..." The woman let out a loud cry, and Gallo's hands were like two cold steel blocks, tightly clasped around her own, only feeling a wave of pain that seemed to shatter her bones, how could this delicate lady endure it, she cried out on the spot.
The man was also startled, he saw very clearly that Gallo's footsteps and movements were obviously those of a trained martial artist, but now wasn't the time to ask about it. "Sorry, miss, she didn't mean any harm, could you please let go first?"
Jia Luo gave them a glance "I'm not unaware of the malicious intent of this young lady, it's quite considerable." One sentence made the man also speechless.
"Never mind, don't bother me again." Gallo put down his hand, and the woman hastily covered her wrist, which had turned blue all over, her fingers slightly trembling. It's estimated that if she waited a bit longer, her hand would have been crippled.
Jia Luo went upstairs, leaving behind a few people with peculiar gazes.
The materials I was looking for were in the reading room on the sixth floor. Relatively speaking, there are almost no people coming here to find materials, so I can also quietly read books.
The decor here is quite nice, with plenty of tables and chairs for people to relax in. After searching around, a book with the strange title "Material Existence" appeared before her eyes. She picked it up, flipped through it, and found it to be a really good book. Except for the introduction at the beginning which explained some reasons and circumstances for material existence, the rest of the book was an introduction to the vast amount of materials in the world.
Garo had a habit of entering his own world as soon as he saw books, and would easily forget everything else, this was an old problem of his.
When I saw the wonderful part, I waved my hand, took out a pen and paper, and started copying quickly with a swooshing sound. The speed was amazing! Unfortunately, such quietness didn't last for long.
Garro sensed it, and people started coming over, surrounding him with a considerable amount of murderous aura. It seemed to be the trouble caused by those women from just now, but it didn't matter, they were all trash, not even reaching level six. Garro shook his head, but the sky had already begun to darken.
He stood up, walked down the stairs, and several others followed him. After Garo completed the borrowing procedures for this book at the library counter, he left the library and headed home. Those guys naturally followed suit as well. Since nothing was allowed to happen inside the Wen Zhe Temple, now that Garo had come out, it was the best opportunity.
From Wen Zhe's mansion to his own home, there was still a relatively long distance, and in the middle of it, there was a small square. Gallo waited directly here, letting those guys jump into the net by themselves.
Eight people walked out of the dark, saw Gala standing alone, and burst into laughter. "Haha, this girl is so honest, she actually waited for us brothers by herself, not bad, not bad, although not top-notch, but also a beautiful woman, it seems that our brothers will have a good time this time." The woman who called them didn't say that Gala knew martial arts, so they were in trouble.
Kaoru looked around, seemingly there was still one person who hadn't come out, but it didn't matter anymore. Eight guys rushed over, Kaoru smiled slightly "Next time when you're being a dog, see if the other party is someone you can mess with." With a direct kick, he hit one of them right in the face, causing blood and tears to flow instantly. The guy flew out and crashed onto the ground, unable to get up.
At this time, one person wanted to take advantage of the situation and grab himself from behind, turned around directly, a knife cut off that person's neck, and fainted.
Immediately, countless crisp sounds erupted from the square. In no time, everyone fell to the ground. Gallo had shown mercy, but judging by the bizarre postures of those people, it was clear that their bones were also shattered.
"There's another one." Garo flashed to the side, just feeling it, there was someone else hiding next to him, but very well concealed. Garo raised his hand and three finger auras shot out, striking in that direction.
Suddenly, a voice came from the corner "Ah, don't..." Gallo was taken aback, a girl's voice?
