Transcendent Journey

"Huh, it's finally here!"

After Ivan submitted the loan application, on the last day of the two-week expedition deadline, in a panic, he finally accepted A reply from the library.

Although he has confidence in himself, Derek's argument that "no one in the Academy is clearly qualified for borrowing" that day did not have no effect on him.

I couldn't wait to open the envelope, and a card fell on the table.

"Huh, it's gone?"

In the thin envelope in Ivan's hand, there were no words or phrases except a card.

Picking up the purple card of unknown size and material, Ivan said to himself: "What do you mean? Mysterious, this means that my application is approved. That's it!"

Ivan is not surprised just considering that the shadow library has always been cold-blooded.

One of the main purposes of this trip was achieved. With a slight excitement, he had already attracted all his attention by that little library card.

The front of the library card is blank except for Ivan's name. On the back, the intricate and gorgeous silver pattern envelops an abstract violet. In the middle of the flower there is a one-eyed radiating golden rays of light. At the bottom of the pattern, there is a circle of small characters written in "spiritual writing", Ivan 1. The words read out:

"Purple.. Luo.. Lan.. Eyes?

This name seems to be a secret association."

And by touching it with his own hands, Ivan could clearly feel the subtle waves of witchcraft from this card. This is not only as simple as a library card, but also a witchcraft creation!

However, Ivan is convinced that he did not sign any suspicious contract when submitting the application, plus this is inside the Imperial Naval Academy after all. The shadow library that has existed for such a long time is also impossible to be an illegal cult organization. It must have some kind of connection with the Academy and even the Kingdom that is unknown to outsiders.

There is not much to worry about. After all, the qualifications for borrowing have been obtained, and the countless mysterious knowledge is beckoning to me, and the little doubts are naturally left behind.

"very good!"

All the honours I received before add up to the joy that a small library card brings to Ivan at this time. Honor is given by others, knowledge and strength will always belong to oneself!

Some time ago, I was authorized by the instructor to arrange the time at will. Ivan's interest in the library is far greater than the Academy's training and teaching. After all, Ivan, who has good study habits, has already previewed the written textbooks, and his progress far exceeds normal teaching.

I will find Krel to make up the notes later, there is no problem at all in the theory course.

As for actual combat training, after gradually trying to digest and absorb the sword technique of "Sword Saint Rose", although Ivan's physical fitness needs a little accumulation, the sword technique can be called a big improvement.

It's not his bossing. Any instructor can pick up one-on-one, and he can make contact with each other. After all, even the Ranked 1st Academy of the Kingdom did not have the luxury of getting a Great Knight-level powerhouse as an instructor.

Of the three levels of formal, senior, and Peak, the sword technique instructors of the short training class this time are only senior levels, and they are still far away from Uncle Gehr's Peak Knight.

Take a look at the class schedule, and decisively escaped from the course of the direct instructor Paul, and rushed to the library with the notebook he prepared in advance.

Along a gravel road through a quiet grove.

The distant human voices on the campus gradually disappeared, and a very historic building appeared in front of Ivan.

Because of the barrier of the woods, the noise from the outside world does not affect it at all. The quietness and tranquility create an atmosphere very suitable for reading.

Step on.. Step on.. Step on..

Go through the corridor-shaped entrance formed by Ionic marble columns and use the student ID to enter the normal library. Without stopping, Ivan walked through the tall wooden bookshelves and walked straight to the depths of the library.

The scent of books lingered on Ivan's nose, which made him calm down again.

Countless bookshelves are made of special wood, with a light fragrance, refreshing, insect-controlling and mothproof. In this age when books are extremely valuable, this library alone is already invaluable.

Furthermore, in accordance with the planning and layout of libraries and museums in this era, there must be a secret warehouse in a little-known place. Among them are stored fragile parchment scrolls, clay tablets, metal inscriptions and other rare rare books, which are all Supreme Treasure in the eyes of collectors.

However, ordinary books are no longer precious in Ivan's eyes.

Although it may contain profound knowledge of the world, little-known secret history of various countries, and even the conspiracy of becoming a high official of the kingdom, there is nothing for Ivan. The most basic knowledge of witchcraft is important.

The goal is clear.

Since the place Ivan is looking for is called the shadow library, it is naturally connected to the normal library of the Academy. It's just more secretive, and there is no way for unqualified people to find it.

Although I can’t find any signs in the library, Ivan has already guessed based on the widespread campus talks and several step-by-steps. This is probably the last time I have learned about the students’ own wisdom. The test...

"Pull away the fog and witness the present and the past,

You look at me, I also look at you,

The footless walks in In the negative world,

Blind people can see the truth."

There is a very straightforward and simple guide in the strange story. Ordinary persons will probably only be confused when they hear it. Many students of the Naval Academy and even the upper class citizens who are qualified to enter the library have used it as a clue to start expeditions, but without exception, they have found nothing.

Ivan knew that these few guidelines should be no problem. They just lacked the key pass and could not trigger the final ritual.

Take out the library card from the trouser pocket and draw the card with the "Violet Eye" pattern. After entering the library, it starts to emit a misty purple light that only Ivan can see.

As Ivan continues to approach the historical book collection area, the purple light becomes brighter and brighter.

Stopping in a narrow aisle, Ivan scanned the surrounding bookshelves, and it was obvious that the bookshelves on the left and right were at least several decades old.

From the nameplate, you can also see that one side is modern history and the other is ancient history. The old and new bookshelves are entirely different.

The Naval Academy’s library has undergone several expansions since the school was founded. It is normal for bookshelves to be new and old, but it is very problematic to combine the guidelines and maxims.

Especially a floor-to-ceiling mirror is placed on the wall at the end of the aisle, which doubles the already huge library out of thin air, and there is another Ivan looking at him in the world of mirrors. .

"Pull away the fog and witness the present and the past. You look at me, and I look at you." Standing in front of the mirror in the history book area, the scene is in full compliance with the proverbs.

"The footless walks into the negative world, and the blind can see the truth." If you don’t stand here, you don’t know what it means if you want to break your head, but now Ivan Decided to give it a try.

Walking to the floor-to-ceiling mirror, Ivan raised the card in his hand, closed his eyes and tentatively jumped forward with one leg.

Huh——

The body didn't hit the mirror according to common sense, but was instantly dominated by a feeling of falling. Ivan was not surprised but rejoiced.

Found it!
