Great Nobleman.

Chapter 2023 [The Guardian's] Library!
That morning, in the endless sky above the continent of Farns.

The Guardians' Meeting Hall, set against a backdrop of the sun, moon, and stars.

Two cloaked, magical phantoms appeared one after the other.

—[Dark Mage] and...[Craftsman]!
After a brief pause, the two illusory figures walked one after the other toward a wall in the conference hall.

Then, this wall transformed into doors, opening to the left and right from the center line.

As the magical lights were simultaneously illuminated, the spiraling downward staircase appeared before the two of them.

Without much hesitation, the Dark Mage led the way forward, while the Craftsman followed closely behind.

Throughout this process, the two illusory figures still did not exchange any words.

Of course, behind the scenes... or rather, in reality, it's not like that.

At this moment, in the main building of Morningflower Castle, in Brand's study where he usually works.

Brand pondered:
"I've long felt that this conference hall in the sky is more than just a conference hall; it's just that my usual range of movement has been restricted."

But you official guardians seem to be exempt from these restrictions? You can even temporarily grant us the necessary permissions?

Upon hearing this, Chris nodded and then explained:
"That's true, but to be more precise, we can still only move around in designated areas."

Their range of activities is simply larger than that of the [Reserve].

On this point, the different official guardians are not entirely the same.

Besides the public areas that everyone can access, there are also some independent zones that only certain groups of people can access.

For example, [Bai Yue], who is responsible for convening daily and ad-hoc meetings, controls an independent partition.

Besides, the same thing happened to Grandpa Ernst, the Purple Wing.

Upon hearing this, Brand asked curiously:
"how about you?"

Chris shook her head and said:

"I don't have any more. The number of these special zones is also limited. Only when there are vacancies can we recommend candidates to fill them."

In addition, some have special requirements, such as a certain level of professional competence in a specific subject area.

Brand smiled and said:

"My Chris is exceptionally capable in politics and leadership; I think she's perfectly suited for the position of leader!"

Hearing this, Chris said helplessly:
"My lord, please stop teasing me. We guardians are all equal, with no distinction of rank."

While chatting, the magical phantoms corresponding to Brand and Chris continued to descend the stairs.

After they arrived at a set of steps with book symbols printed on the wall.

The Dark Mage stopped in his tracks.

Then, without him making any move, the wall sank inward and shifted to the left, revealing the passage hidden behind it.

After that, he led the craftsman along the passage for a distance and then climbed a flight of stairs.

The narrow field of vision quickly opened up.

A library filled with books and magical crystal balls came into view.

After curiously looking around, the craftsman tried to pick up a book from the bookshelf next to him.

However, he found that his ghostly figure had stopped in front of the bookshelf and could not continue.

Brand asked curiously:
"Requires special permissions?"

Chris nodded and said:
"Of course, the knowledge passed down here is neither top-notch nor abundant, but it has some unique aspects in certain special fields."

However, these are ultimately the foundation of the organization, hence the strict management.

This applies not only to reserve guardians, but also to official guardians like myself.

As they spoke, the phantom of the [Dark Mage] appeared before a crystal ball about half a person's height in the center of the library. After activating it, Chris continued:

"Because the Lord has only been with us for a short time, and the continental war on our continent has come to an end at an unexpected speed."

This has resulted in us guardians being temporarily idle recently, and the Lord's contribution amount is not very high at the moment.

Of course, even so, it's still possible to exchange for two or three more inheritances.

Please come and choose one.

Upon hearing this, under Brand's control, the Craftsman walked to the Dark Mage's side and began to examine the items listed on the crystal ball.

Next, after browsing through it...

Brand discovers that, just as Chris said, the Guardians' library does not contain much top-tier inherited knowledge.

For example, regarding cultivation knowledge for mages, only two sets of common knowledge at the level of archmages are stored here.

There wasn't much knowledge at the Archmage level, but there was a dazzling array of basic knowledge at the Mage level.

After taking a general look at the knowledge entries in the library, Brand, with Chris's help, gradually hid a large number of entries related to warriors, low-level mages, and many other professional disciplines that he was unfamiliar with.

Subsequently, after further detailed screening of the remaining entries.

He began searching for his main objective:

Content related to the "Star Element".

Every element has its own unique characteristics, and the [Star Element] is no exception.

This type of element is relatively rare near the Earth and exists more in the extremely high heavens.

The visual manifestation of the sun, moon, and stars is dominated by this element.

In addition, this element has advantages in the field of information dissemination that most other elements cannot match.

This is based on the knowledge they have collected to date, combined with Brand's unique understanding.

In his view, the properties of this thing are actually very similar to those of 'light' in physics.

Or perhaps the "stellar element" is simply the manifestation of "light" in the extraordinary world!
As for the [Light Element], which can suppress the undead, Brand felt that it might be a special branch of the [Star Element].

—There are many categories of 'light'!
As Brand continued his search for successors, his thoughts were still racing.

Ultimately, he left three items until the very end:
"Detailed Explanation of the Properties of the Star Elements", "Elementary Application of the Star Elements in Rune Array Science", and "Visual Manifestation of the Sun, Moon and Stars".

Chris asked:

"Choose these three? I think the others are also good, such as 'Intermediate Application of Astral Elements in Rune Arrays'."

Brand shook his head and said:

"Let's talk about it later; these three are relatively more important."

After all, the contribution points are limited, aren't they?

Chris nodded and said:
"That's true, but unfortunately I'm not a mage and I don't understand these specialized academic subjects."

Otherwise, I would have a large amount of contribution points that I have nowhere to use.

As he spoke, the Dark Mage made his move.

A strict magical contract concerning the secrecy of knowledge was displayed on the crystal ball.

—The knowledge obtained through exchange is for personal use only and may not be disclosed to anyone in any way.

After signing their name on the crystal ball with their thoughts, the contract is established.

With a slight fluctuation of magic, three heavy magic books flew from a nearby bookshelf to the [Craftsman]'s front.

After receiving it, Brand immediately began reading it, and casually recorded it in the Spiral Library of the simulated world...
