Chapter 3119: Underground Levels and Secret Entrances
No spells or keys were needed to open the door to the underground area of the library. The sorceress lifted her high heels and stomped on the ground with a little force. With a dong sound, a silver light rose from the gaps between the floor tiles.
The sorceress stepped back slightly, and together with Shade and Emilia, they watched the silver double-opening metal doors rise from the ground in the light. The doors were decorated with silver and white gems and diamonds, and the surfaces of the two doors together constructed the scene of the interior of a library with many bookshelves.
"This is indeed the style of the witches of the Fifth Age. It is somewhat similar to the gate of the Silver Moon Library."
Shade commented, and Miss Danister nodded:
"Yes, I suspect Miss Orlanod has also opened the Silver Moon Door. Come with me, I hope the door you are looking for will not be difficult to find."
The door opened inwards, and behind it was a pure white light curtain to prevent anyone from peeping into the interior. After passing through that light curtain, Xia De found that the surrounding environment did not seem to have changed much.
[Strong Spatial Perception] indeed showed that this was the underground of the previous location. Although the ceiling above had become flat without any curves, other than that, the bookshelves around, the style of the floor with the reflection of the starry sky underfoot, and the smell of spices in the air after the candles burned were exactly the same as the library on the ground.
Because of the obstruction of the bookshelves, it seemed that there was no end here. Xia De could sense that there were students and teachers walking around in the invisible places, but compared with the number of people on the ground, there was almost no one here.
"The underground level is built to imitate the ground level. Although the books here are also banned, the content is just a little more dangerous. So usually, the professor approves a note, and then takes it to the librarian's assistant in exchange for my signature and stamped note, and you can come in directly. This place is usually called 'Library Level 1' to distinguish it from the ground level."
Danister said:
"Emily did a similar job when she was an assistant."
The elf nodded gently:
"But pets are not allowed here. Mia is most likely the first pet cat to visit here in a thousand years."
"Shad, which direction is the entrance?"
The sorceress asked again, and Shade sensed again:
"It's not on this floor, it's further down, but it's very close."
"Well, follow me closely."
At this time, the three of them were in the open space between the bookshelves. The only difference between this place and Miss Danister's office on the ground was that there were no furniture such as sofas and coffee tables here.
The sorceress led the two to a bookshelf nearby, and casually pulled out a book titled "Mind Control: Controlling the Mind" from the fourth shelf. She then walked towards the bookshelf and went straight in.
Shad and Emilia followed closely behind. Emilia had never been to the second underground floor of the library. She was as excited as Shad, but after walking through the bookshelves, she saw the same scene of bookshelves as before.
"Starting from the second underground floor, the library showed spatial anomalies, and its size was no longer the same as the ground floor. In addition to books, the second floor also contained some relics with low risk, as well as a large number of research records and papers of past professors of the academy that were considered taboo.
This looks like a library, but there are actually many passages leading to other areas on this floor. These areas are not limited to water areas, underground forests, underground castle ruins, etc. This floor is called "Level 2", and many secrets you can't imagine are buried in these ordinary bookshelves.
Emilia, now that you have become the chosen one, the academy will arrange more learning opportunities for you, and you will probably visit this floor more often in the future."
Emilia wrote down these contents carefully, while Shade continued to sense:
"No problem, the entrance is on this floor. This way."
He pointed to the right side of the three people, so Miss Danister motioned Shade to lead the way. At this moment, there were even fewer students and professors on this floor, but they would greet Miss Danister when they saw her, and ignored Shade and Emilia, and were not curious about the librarian's current actions.
Shade continued to walk between the bookshelves, but he did not walk straight forward, but kept turning and changing directions. Emilia understood this without Miss Danister explaining it. For areas with abnormal spatial properties, different ways of walking in the same direction would lead to different final destinations.
"arrive."
After walking for about ten minutes, Xia De stopped and pointed to the bookshelf in front of him:
"This is it."
"Which one? Crossroads of the Labyrinth, Ancient Relics Research: Chaotic Space, or Human Structure Spatial Stitching?"
Shad felt that parts of the final book might have been attempted by Dorothy and Lesia:
"All of them. Or rather, all of this bookshelf."
Following the vague feeling in his mind, he reached out and quickly replaced the books on the six shelves in front of him. Emilia and Miss Danister were watching carefully. When Shade changed the positions, nothing happened.
However, when he summoned his life ring and the [Time and Space] spirit rune illuminated the bookshelf, all the books originally placed by Xia De began to glow, then automatically floated out from the bookshelf and quickly exchanged positions with each other.
As the flying books exchanged positions, a vertical white light appeared in the center of the bookshelf. The light expanded to the left and right and became larger and larger. Finally, when all the books were safely parked on the bookshelf, the white light dissipated, and the center of the bookshelf that was divided into the left and right sides was the "hidden passage" that Xia De was most familiar with.
"Oh~"
Emilia sighed softly, and Shade also sighed:
"How fancy! I've seen many entrances to the [Space Maze], but this is the only one that's different."
Shade walked in front, followed by Miss Danister and Emilia. After passing through the long and narrow passage, the area behind was exactly the same as the other entrances.
The statue of the ancient god in the circular space began to glow after being stared at by Shade. Emilia froze for a moment before continuing to walk inside. Miss Danister stood at the edge of the circular space, looking at the statue with great respect.
In addition to the statue of the ancient god, there are also two boxes in the circular space, which should have been left by people who discovered this place in the past.
Shade checked carefully and found that the box was full of notes written in the language of the Fifth Age, so the last person who came here should be a witch from Saint Byrons who lived in the Fifth Age.
“Don’t just look through ancient texts whose contents you don’t know.”
Seeing that Shade was about to turn the page, Miss Danister warned him immediately. However, Shade touched the book and confirmed that there was no elemental reaction before turning it, and the contents were indeed not dangerous:
"Is this a novel?"
He turned to Emilia and Miss Danister who were approaching him and said:
“This should be a fantasy novel written by students in the Fifth Era, based on college life.
The novel is set against the backdrop of the rise and fall of the four most powerful majors in the academy at the time, from the perspective of an aristocratic girl who came from the Western Continent to study, with the love and marriage tragedy between her and the other two witches in the same dormitory as the main plot. It depicts the various aspects of life of witch students, showing the true beauty of love and the beauty of tragedy. It is a work that shows the good and evil of human nature and the various aspects of society in the Academy City of the Fifth Era from all angles. "
Emilia blinked:
"You read so much just by flipping through it?"
Miss Danister was more curious about something else:
"Why do you sound like you're reading instructions from a textbook?"
Xia De smiled and waved the notebook in his hand towards them:
"I just read what the witch who left these novel manuscripts wrote on the first page. This is a novel she wrote in her spare time. She seemed embarrassed to share what she wrote with others, but she wanted these words to be passed down, so she copied them and put them here."
Xia De turned a few pages back:
"Have any of you heard of the novel called The Post-gon.g Life of St. Byrons?"
"Ah~ Does this name have anything to do with the introduction you just read?"
Emilia blushed. Although the elf was involved in a complicated emotional entanglement, she was actually quite innocent.
Miss Danister thought for a moment and shook her head:
"I don't remember reading this book, but maybe the name of this book was changed later. Such a name should not be published through normal channels. Is there anything else in it?"
Xia De carefully searched through the two boxes and found that they were all filled with novel manuscripts. Although there were a lot of them, it would not be a big deal for a witch who had mastered extraordinary powers to copy them:
"Nothing."
"Then I will temporarily seal this novel. I will ask the professors of the History School to identify the content and see if it involves the secrets of the school. If the content is safe, it should be able to become an important document for us to study the history and culture of the Fifth Era Academy.
Or at least this is indeed the text written by the witch of the Fifth Age, and it can be used as an ancient text translation homework or exam content. "
She seemed to be somewhat interested in these novels, so Shade controlled the box to fly up and let it fly to the entrance of the circular space:
"Then Miss Danister, please wait for us here. Emilia and I will return to my house first. After we have dealt with the door of the [Time Corridor], we will come back together. You can lead us out from the second underground floor."
The sorceress who had already started taking books out of the box nodded. She didn't have any space-related spiritual runes and couldn't use it here.
Emilia had already recorded the coordinates of Saint Teresa's Square when she briefly lived there this summer. Seeing Shade put the cat away and prepare to leave, she reached out with him and touched the base of the ancient god statue:
"May the original rift protect me in infinite space."
PS: Today I was shocked to hear that the old author of "The Demon King and the Brave Girl" Fat Bread passed away. Although I didn't know him, I loved reading this book when I was a kid (referring to junior high school). It was also my first introduction to the second dimension. I still remember that after the book was written off, I kept wondering when it would be released and have a sequel (the sequel is "Little Demon King"). I have always had this book on my bookshelf, but it is gray and cannot be selected. I saw the WeChat screenshot shared in the group, and the author's avatar seemed to be the cover picture of the Demon King at that time. He should have been very impressed by his book.
Everyone should also pay attention to their health and seek medical attention in time if they feel unwell. In addition, don't leave a message here. If you are interested, you can leave a message on the next station.
