I'm a dragon, I only want to steal princesses

Chapter 199 Elf King

In the Elf Palace, Ganon stood in the large library of the Elf Palace and looked up.

The library in the Elven Palace has a cylindrical structure. The surrounding walls are all closets for storing books. There are circular corridors on each floor. The column in the middle is also a bookshelf. The spiral staircase climbs up the column. The dome seems not to be completely transparent. Made of high-quality crystal, the lighting in the entire library is quite good, and at the same time, the books will not age due to strong light exposure.

Not long after returning to the palace, Isabel separated from him and said that she wanted to go to her original room to have a look. Ganon originally came to see King Muxia, but after being led to the reception room of the palace, the official who received him With an embarrassed look on his face, he told him that the Elf King was busy with important matters and would need to wait for a while.

Ganon proposed that he wanted to find a place to kill some time. The person who received him discussed it with him and finally took him to the library of the palace.

When Ganon arrived, he was shocked by the massive collection of books accumulated over hundreds of years. He looked around and felt a little confused for a moment.

"The collection of books here is second only to the Vientiane Library of the Elements Federation in the entire continent. If you have anything you are interested in and want to check, you can always ask me." An older elf serves as the curator here. Accompanying Ganouen to visit, he sounded a little proud when talking about the collection of books here.

"But I don't know much about elven literature." Ganon said casually.

"Don't worry, less than half of the books here are written in Elvish. We also collect works from other races and different language versions of important books. The library should cover everything." The curator replied in a calm tone.

"Are there any books recording artifacts?" Ganon asked.

"Yes, please follow me." The curator immediately began to lead the way. He obviously had an excellent memory and knew the locations of various collections of books very well.

"In addition, I would like to know more about the abyss." Ganon asked again.

"Do you want to know about the magic of warlocks, or simply study the devil and the abyss." The curator stopped and turned to ask.

"We're all interested," Ganon replied.

During the last battle with Lucio, the mysterious spell related to the abyss forcibly rescued the half-dead Lucio from under his nose.

Ganon speculated that there was a legendary warlock in the empire, and this warlock was probably Queen Fred.

Ganon didn't know much about the Warlock profession.

Unlike professions such as paladins, druids, assassins, and necromancers, there does not seem to be any country on the mainland that specifically believes in the Lord of the Abyss, the main god of warlocks. Instead, most countries regard abyss belief as heresy.

Nitrilan's dark elf family and the various city-states in the Kingdom of Death are not exclusive, and will even take the initiative to cultivate warlocks, but they still will not put their faith in the abyss on the table. It is said that there are warlocks in the Federation of Elements.Only some relatively small groups will blatantly worship the abyss, and there are a certain number of sorcerers gathering.

"Abyss belief is explicitly prohibited in Late Summer, so related books are also subject to a certain degree of control. Most of the more in-depth collections are sealed in the archives and can only be borrowed after approval." The curator added. , "In this palace, only His Majesty the King occasionally accesses those kinds of books."

"His Majesty King Offfield?" Ganouen was a little surprised.

According to the information he had, King Offyd of Mu Xia should be an elemental mage in the extraordinary realm. He once trained in the Elemental Federation and studied under the legendary mage Amansu of the Elemental Federation. In terms of blood relationship, he is also Amansu's nephew.

"Yes, His Majesty is a respectable scholar. He mainly studies history, theology and magic. He is also involved in the study of the abyss. He actually prefers academics to politics. Unfortunately, the current situation of this country He can no longer do what he likes." The curator replied.

Although the war initiated by the Dragon Backbone Empire against Mu Xia was short-lived, it pushed Mu Xia's status into a serious situation.

This war revealed the fact that there was a huge gap in military strength between the Empire and Mu Xia. From then on, Mu Xia would always be threatened by the Empire's force.

For this reason, they had to rely on the support of the Elemental Federation, and it was King Offfield who was responsible for gaining support from the Elemental Federation for Mu Xia. While Princess Patriz was in charge of religious and military matters, he had to handle domestic affairs on the one hand. , On the other hand, diplomacy must be handled. Ganon can still understand the busyness of His Majesty the King.

"I'm sorry that I don't have the right to directly access the books sealed in the archives, but there are some popular science books about the abyss. Are you interested?" The curator led Ganouen to a bookshelf.

"Okay." Ganon replied as he glanced at the titles on the bookshelf.

"Overview of the Abyss", "Ecology of Demons", "Classification of Demons", "Origin of Succubus", "Introduction to Abyss Contract Technique", "Origin of Succubus"...

Ganon's eyes quickly glanced back after scanning one of the books.

"Why is this book about succubus so thick?" Ganon asked, pointing to the "Origin of Succubus".

The title of this book seems to be about the study of demons such as succubi, but the thickness of the book is a little thicker than "Demon Ecology" and "Demon Classification". "Because succubi are a very special kind of demon, there are many versions about their origins. One of them is that they are considered to be related to the goddess of life. They are also of high research value for Druids. This book The author is a past Druid elder. However, this book is written in elven script, so it may be a little difficult for you to read it," the curator explained.

"What's mainly written here?" Ganon asked.

"Research on the origin and ecology of succubi, observations and experiments on succubi, and records of succubus-related events..."

Halfway through the curator's words, Ganouen became interested: "Can I borrow this book?"

Books written in Elvish can be read using the translation function of "Watcher" as long as they are brought back to the Endless Tower.

After learning about the existence of succubi in this world, Ganon became very interested in them.

"Of course, no problem." The curator replied respectfully.

"Thank you. Can I look through these books here?" Ganouen pointed to several other books whose words he could read.

"All the books in this area can be borrowed at will. Please feel free to do so. How about I go to the fifth floor to help you get the books recording the artifacts?" the curator suggested.

"Thank you." Ganon nodded, then took out an "Abyss Overview" and started reading.

Shortly after the curator left, Ganouen heard footsteps behind him.

The footsteps were very light, but in this silent library, they were still quite obvious.

He turned around slightly and saw a very familiar male elf, wearing the uniform of a forest guard.

"Your Highness Lampard." Ganouen closed the book and said hello.

"Are you...Mr. Ganouen?" The other party looked a little surprised when he saw him, and then returned to normal, "Why are you here?"

"Walk the time here, your voice..." Ganon noticed that the other party's voice seemed to be a little different.

"I've been shouting a lot during training recently, and I'm a little bit dumb," Lampard explained.

"Are you here to find me?" Ganon asked.

"No, I just happened to come to the library to get some information, and I didn't expect to bump into you." Lampard replied, while looking at Ganouen.

"Thank you for your 'explanation' for us last time." Ganouen smiled and patted Lampard on the shoulder.

Lampard pondered for a moment and nodded: "Of course, I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble. But I am still curious, how far have you and Bell progressed?"

"Isn't this something suitable for discussion here?" Ganouen was a little surprised that Lampard asked this question.

"Oh, if you put it that way, I can probably imagine it." Lampard sighed thoughtfully.

Ganouen vaguely felt a bit of a violation. Lampard looked a little more haggard than the last time they met, and his temperament also changed a lot, appearing more reserved and deep.

At this moment, Isabel suddenly walked into the library quickly and called out: "Ganoen, are you here?"

She soon noticed two figures on the first floor. Ganouen met her eyes and waved.

Isbell walked over quickly. When she saw Lampard, she frowned slightly. As she got closer, the expression on her face changed from confusion to shock, and finally her eyes widened.

Ganouen couldn't help but feel confused about her reaction. Seeing her brother Lampard, Isbel should have no reason to be so surprised.

Then, he heard Isabel speak in an unbelievable tone: "Father...Father?"
