messenger from the wasteland

Chapter 17 So Electronic Search is Really a Good Civilization
After becoming a guard knight for the first time, Hillman arranged for her a room on the top floor of the castle for her to live in.This is not only convenient for Chu to protect her safety, but also convenient for her to give instructions to Chu when needed.

It was also very helpless to say that although she was a knight at first, she was more like a housekeeper most of the time. Ever since she came to the top floor of the castle, most of Hillman's chores were handed over to her.

Obviously, Hillman is more willing to trust Chu than a servant, but this kind of trust sometimes makes Chu unclear whether he is here to participate in the war, or to tidy up the desk or clean up.

Speaking of the war, the turmoil on the mainland has never stopped after the fall of Plann, but the Reinhardt country is exceptionally peaceful. It seems that Hillman has no plans to go out again for the time being. It seems that he wants to let the army rest for a while. .

A tired army won't do the war any favors, and Reinhardt has just taken over Plann's lands, so it will take some time to stabilize the situation.

Without the flames of war, armor, swords, and horses, life seemed to calm down all of a sudden.

Hillman spends most of her time dealing with state affairs. When she is resting, she likes to sit by Chu's side, read a book or have some afternoon tea.

Sometimes she would chat with Chu about a few gossips, a few jokes, Chu usually couldn't pick up a few words, and couldn't laugh.

The two of them don't talk much when they sit together, but communication between people sometimes doesn't necessarily require so many words.

For Hillman, Chu is someone she can trust, someone who will quietly accompany her, that's enough.

For her who was used to sitting alone on the highest point of the royal city, this was already too different.

one morning.

Hillman asked Chu to go to the Kingdom Library to borrow a book she wanted to read.

The Kingdom Library is built on a not-so-prosperous road. The road is very quiet. It is beside a river that crosses the royal city. There are always a few fallen leaves on the road beside the river. Occasionally, a few pedestrians lean on the railing and stare at the river. .

It may be because of the quietness here that the library was chosen to be built here.

In stark contrast to the road, the Kingdom Library is a very magnificent building. Someone has measured it. The library is the third tallest building in the Kingdom City after the castle and the bell tower.

At the same time, it is also the largest library on the mainland. It is like a palace, a palace of books and knowledge.

How many books are there in this library?No one has counted, some say there are tens of thousands of copies, while others say more.

In short, almost all the books of the entire royal family are here and open to the outside world.

Anyone can come to the library to borrow any book for free at any time, and of course it needs to be returned in time.

You can also choose not to return it, if you think you can escape the librarian's eyes.

It's a bit unconvincing to say that, in this palace-like library, there is only one librarian, but a book has never been lost.

Because this librarian is one of the three saints of the Reinhardt Kingdom, Grand Master—Promante.

I first crossed the path by the river and walked into the Kingdom Library.

There is no sound in the entire library, even though it is so big, there are so many people sitting in it with their heads down reading.

She raised her head in amazement and looked at the interior of this building, which was too large no matter what, the first thing she saw was countless bookshelves and countless books.

This made her a little embarrassed, even if she wanted to find the one that Hillman wanted among such a large number of books, it would take a lot of time.

The entire library is divided into seven floors. The spiral staircase in the middle extends upwards, connecting the aisles on each floor. Standing under the stairs, you can even look at the people reading on the bookshelves on the top of the building.

When I first walked into the library.

An old man reading a book sitting in the library management office raised his head.

The old man was wearing a large brown robe. The robe was very simple without any patterns or ornaments, it was just an ordinary robe.

The baggy clothes made the old man look a little thin. He looked at Chu suspiciously and stroked his white beard.

The reason why Chu attracted his attention was because of Chu's aura, which was very complicated and dark, mixed with strong malice.

Usually, people with this kind of aura are either the most sinful people, or those who are full of resentment and twisted hearts.

But what was surprising was that he didn't see any coldness or negative emotions in Chu's eyes. On the contrary, Chu's eyes were cleaner than most ordinary people, but there was silence and bewilderment in this cleanliness.

The old man never leaves the library, and hardly participates in any state affairs and activities, otherwise, he should know Chu.

But now in his eyes, Chu is just a very special person.

······
While Chu was still struggling with how to find the book Hillman wanted, a voice sounded beside her.

"Young man, what can I do for you?"

Turning around for the first time, an old man in a brown robe was standing beside her with a kind smile on his face.

At first I didn't think the old man could help her in this situation, but he still said.

"Excuse me, is there a book called "Modern Theory of the Four Kingdoms" here?"

"Oh?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, and asked with some surprise in his eyes.

"Do you want to read this book?"

He thought Chu would have many kinds of answers, but he didn't expect Chu to want to borrow this book.

No matter how you look at it, I don't seem like someone who would read this kind of book at first.

"No." Chu shook her head as a matter of course, she seldom read books: "I just borrow books for others."

The old man nodded in understanding, smiled again, raised his hand and said.

""Modern Theory of the Four Kingdoms" is the seventh book in the No. 30 column, No. 16, No. [-] shelf, fifth row, on the fourth floor."

He has been in this library for decades, and it can be said that he remembers the location of every book here.

In the era of "Modern Theory of the Four Kingdoms", very few people are willing to read this kind of book.

The series of numbers uttered by the old man made me a little dazed at the first hearing, and I stared blankly at the old man and blinked his eyes.

Apparently, she didn't expect the old man to give such an accurate answer, and she couldn't understand the location of the seventh book in No. 30, No. 16, row No. [-], column No. [-], the so-called fourth floor.

Looking at Chu's expression, the old man guessed that Chu didn't understand, turned his hands behind his back and said with a smile.

"Do you need me to take you there?"

"That." Chu looked at the library of Nuoda University, put aside his plan to find it, and replied, "I'm sorry to trouble you."
