The library in Pope’s eyes was completely different.
The entire space transford into a cosmic deep space adorned with countless stars,
as if he were leisurely strolling through the vast space, with stars in his hand turning into corresponding books.
Because the library uses spatial folding technology, the internal space is much larger than what is observed from the outside.
Since walking would take quite a lot of ti, Han Dong took the opportunity to ask so questions.
"Pope, I only learned today that borrowing books requires submitting a corresponding level of [contribution].
To access the highest specification of Demon Books, one must provide an almost impossible to obtain ’Great Contribution’... Speaking of which, Pope, have you ever seen the Demon Books stored in the library?
Or, have you ever made a great contribution?"
Han Dong initially thought that soone like Pope, a ’child of destiny,’ would definitely have co into contact with the Demon Books deep within the library,
considering he is a direct disciple of the principal and the youngest professor, with a great possibility of participating in tasks that could earn "Great Contribution."
However...
"The London Ga rewarded with the ’Revelation of Glaki,’ which was the first Demon Book I encountered.
As you’ve heard, ’Great Contribution’ is nearly impossible to achieve... During my tenure as a teacher, I haven’t participated in any events worthy of being called ’great.’
However, I’ve heard my teacher ntion the Demon Books stored in the library occasionally."
"Hmm? What kind of books?"
"I naturally couldn’t know exactly what they are.
But, the Demon Books collected in the library belong to the relatively stable and controllable type.
The Demon Books that Eugene and I obtained cannot be stored here... Both ’Scripture of the Corpse Eating Cult’ and ’Revelation of Glaki’ belong to the uncontrollable type.
Since the construction of Mi University, the number of teachers who have been able to access these Demon Books doesn’t exceed the number of your human Fingers."
"Relatively stable Demon Books? So, does that an training with them carries less risk?"
"Nicholas, I must remind you.
’Demon Books’ possess [uniqueness]; since you’ve been designated as the heir of ’Book of Dead Spirit,’ others are of no use to you."
Han Dong smiled in response:
"If it’s you, Pope, you should understand why I’m so eager to get in touch with Demon Books, right?
I consider myself a fairly disciplined person, generally able to suppress various desires within ,
except for the greed for knowledge, that is, [thirst for knowledge]
which is indeed difficult to restrain... You must be the sa, right, Pope?
I don’t necessarily want to learn from them; I just wish to witness and touch such special items that can change the world’s Destiny Order, to satisfy my thirst for world knowledge."
Of course, Han Dong’s intentions weren’t that simple.
If he could truly touch the Demon Books in the library,
One reason would be to satisfy his own thirst for knowledge,
The other would be, depending on the type of Demon Book, if suitable, to hope either the Count or the Swollen Doctor could try to learn from it.
Both of them are indispensable Demons to Han Dong, and he believes they have the ability to learn from Demon Books... If the Demon Books could stimulate them, it might quickly facilitate their Construct Mythology.
Upon hearing Han Dong’s explanation of ’thirst for knowledge,’
Pope fell into silence temporarily.
Within the Starfield Brain, two gaseous planets were colliding fiercely, indicating so sort of ideological conflict.
After about five minutes, the conflict gradually subsided.
Taking a deep breath, Pope seed to have made a decision:
"Do you have ti half a year later, during the winter break at the end of this academic year?"
"If it’s sothing you need, Pope, I can certainly make ti."
"This is a major matter,
requiring at least a month of free ti, and you need to maintain your best condition before departure,
considering it an event as important as the [London Ga].
In theory, a ’new teacher’ like you, Nicholas, who has just been promoted to associate professor, has no right to participate.
Given your outstanding performance in the London Ga, and the special treasures obtained in the Ladybug Ga, letting you join could fill so vacancies in the team, raising the success rate slightly."
"What is it?"
"I can’t disclose the specifics yet,
as whether you can join this event isn’t up to alone... You’ll be officially admitted once all mbers agree.
The only thing I can tell you now is,
this matter has been in preparation for nearly a century, and I was chosen by chance.
If successful, 1~3 people who participate and make a significant contribution may earn a ’Great Contribution.’"
"Sounds great!"
Surprise flashed in Han Dong’s eyes unexpectedly.
Initially, he just planned to extract information about the library’s Demon Books from Pope, unexpectedly gaining a significant opportunity.
Of course,
such an ’opportunity’ is inseparable from Han Dong’s continuous efforts to strengthen his relationship with Pope during this ti.
...
After about twenty minutes of walking, they finally reached
[Library - Upper Level Area]
They needed to pass through a special passage constructed from ’Color of Adult Star,’ sticky and iridescent.
When the kaleidoscopic starry scene disappeared, they officially stepped into the upper library area... A three-tier cylindrical structure, linked up and down by spiral stairs.
Each row of bookshelves contained only one [Demon Book], stored in various ways.
So were imrsed in liquid tanks,
so sealed in black wooden boxes,
so preserved in sealed skulls, and so on.
When Han Dong was trying to find books related to the Void.
"Considering the possibility of joining, I’ll reluctantly guide you here... If the team had an additional ’Void Walker,’ it would enhance the overall mobility."
After speaking,
Pope brought down a book sealed in [Black Crystal Stone] from the top shelf.
’Brief History of Void’
"This is one of the teacher’s greatest works, and also the most fundantal, most suitable for beginners like you, exclusively available at Mi University.
Theoretically, to understand the Void, one must delve deep into it.
However, the teacher, with his own unique understanding, absolute control over the Void, and understanding of the origin of Demon text, authored this book transcending ti and space.
In my view, its value is in no way lower than [Demon Book].
If your brain’s capability is strong enough, with internal complexity, you could directly touch the essence of the Void through this book, saving you the journey into the Void."
When talking about his teacher, stars shimred in Pope’s eyes, filled with endless respect.
"What a treasure! I am incredibly grateful."
"Since you’ve achieved your purpose, don’t waste ti here, the book will automatically deduct [contribution] and your teacher points when you check it out."
"Understood."
Just as Han Dong was about to leave with the ’Black Crystal Stone’ in his arms,
the Demon Eye on his brow stirred, suddenly looking down.
Seeing through the substance of the brain under the floor tiles,
beneath a network of orderly arranged nerve pathways, there seed to be a nest of [Color of the Star].
And deep at the bottom, there seed to be a Secret Room hidden.
"Did you... see it? That Secret Room.
Unexpectedly, the [Eye] attached to the manuscript can reach such a level.
Indeed, below that is the special section where the Demon Books are stored."
