The most shameless alchemist in history - Chapter 179
Chapter 179
After John and Lilian left the canteen, the four of Du Lei did not stay for too long, and then left. Among them, Ruth and Kelly went to sleep in the dormitory, but now it is night, it is already dark. , Lance invited Du Lei to go to the training ground to train with him.
Although they have not formally contacted the magic training courses, Lance has noticed that many people in the training ground at this time in the evening are doing all-round exercises including skills, strength and physical strength. He has long been gearing up for this. Now, I desperately want to join the training army.
But Du Lei declined his invitation. He chose to walk around the academy by himself, wanting to get acquainted with this place where he will live for a long time. Lance did not force it. He was not that kind. There are people walking around with leisurely sentiments, and the four of them will be separated.
“Maple Leaf Academy? Although the process was a bit tortuous, I finally became a part of this place. This is the first step of the goal. With Maple Leaf Academy as a stage, I think that not only can I learn a lot of magic knowledge here, but also A large number of alchemy-related books can be found in the library…”
Du Lei walked alone along the path of the college. Nearby was the retro spire building. It was very quiet at this time. Sometimes students in the college’s white uniforms with gold rims walked past, and they just passed Du Lei. The moon was thick in the sky, and some clouds drifted over.
“In the case of the library, according to the records on the map, it should be… here.” Du Lei held a booklet in his hand. The above was an introduction to the various functional districts of the Maple Leaf College. Each newly enrolled student had one hand. It is used to familiarize yourself with the environment of the college.
Lance could not understand the introduction in the brochure at all, and did not have the patience to read it, but Du Lei could see clearly. He followed the map of the college outlined in the brochure and moved towards the location of the library. This was him. The most interesting place, as early as in the hot spring village, he looked for books everywhere.
It’s just that due to conditions, he could read so many books over and over again. Of course, the man he threw from the snow back then left a note for him, but he couldn’t read it. He has not figured out many symbols until now, and they are related symbols of alchemy.
For this reason, he was particularly interested in alchemy. When he was in Xueying Town, he stayed in the town’s library for one night, but also limited by the narrowness of the place, he did not find much valuable information. The books in the town’s library are mostly novel travel notes.
But Maple Leaf College’s library is different. It is not only a professional Magic Academy, but also one of the best colleges in the Snow Country. Even in the north of the mainland, it is also famous. The library here is undoubtedly compared to Xueying. The town’s library has too much value.
“I found it. It is worthy of the Maple Leaf Academy library. This scale… is so big!” Du Lei followed the map and finally stopped in front of a huge building and came to the City of Maple in Du Lei. Before, the largest building he had ever seen was the hotel in Xueying Town.
The height of a four-story building is enough to stand out from the crowd in Xueying Town, let alone the hot spring village where he lived for thirteen years. It is important to know that the Hart’s inn, the tallest in the hot spring village, is only three stories high, and it is still a wooden structure. The floor space is not that big, it can be compared with the library in front of him.
It was simply the gap between a majestic mountain and a small hillside. Du Lei took his fingers and counted. The library has a total of eight floors. The architectural style is retro-Gothic style. The whole body is made of piled stones. It is in his place. It can be clearly seen that there are at least twenty windows in the longitudinal direction of the library.
This also means that the library has at least 20 partitions, and the interior of each window is brightly lit. He can at least count the huge library that has hundreds of lights on. This is good for light candles. For him who is reluctant, it is undoubtedly a very extravagant thing.
“There must be a rich collection of books in such a library, and I can definitely find the books I want to read, but at this time the library doesn’t know if… Regardless, just ask before you talk.” Du Lei was surprised and hesitated. Is it possible to enter the library at this point in time?
It was night now, but he noticed that the lights in the library were still on, which meant that someone was reading a book. After having some understanding in his heart, he cautiously walked towards the gate of the library, leading to There are dozens of steps at the gate of the library.
The stairs are narrower as you go up, and on both sides of the stairs are stone statues about half a person tall. The stone statues are half-human sculptures. It can be seen that the workmanship is fine. The human body’s facial expressions on the stone statues are very realistic, and some are like I was thinking, some seemed to be speaking, and some were smiling.
“What a strong sense of oppression, what are these stone statues…” When Du Lei was about to walk to the gate of the library, he looked anxiously at the stone statues on both sides. The cold wind blew through it from time to time at night, although it was early spring. , But there has always been a saying that spring is cold.
But Du Lei’s forehead was covered with cold sweat, the sweat beads on his forehead that he kept wiping, and the stone statues on both sides were not simple!
“They are all outstanding seniors who have made outstanding contributions to the Maple Leaf Academy. That senior is Yumir. He is an expert in the study of Warcraft. Most of the Warcraft specimen showroom in the academy is due to him. That senior is Ka Wonder, he is an authority on mineral exploration and a pioneer in the School of Mines…”
At the gate of the library, an elegant man dressed in white clothes and glasses, who was about 20 years old, walked over. He pointed to the bust statues displayed on both sides of the stairs to introduce, and said one after another. Six or seven names came, like a few treasures.
“This person over here is…” Du Lei is a good listener. He wrote down all the names the man said. At the same time, he pointed to a half-length figure next to him and asked. The highest position among all the stone statues.
However, unlike other stone statues, other stone statues are carved very clearly, and you can see the meticulous expression changes of those great people who have made outstanding contributions. However, the stone statue next to him has only hair and rough outlines. The outline, as far as the facial expression is concerned, is blank.
This is a stone statue without a face.
“This is a person who has been forgotten by history.” The man walked to Du Lei’s side and looked at the half-human stone statue with a complicated expression.
“Since it has been forgotten by history, why did you deliberately carve his statue here, isn’t it for memorial?” Du Lei was a little suspicious.
“Although he is forgotten by history, the things he created are deeply engraved in history, so no matter how people erase his name, they can’t get rid of his shadow.” The man said with a bitter smile. write.
“Shadow? What kind of shadow?” Du Lei was even more puzzled.
“The shadow of alchemy.” The man said softly.
