"It depends on the situation. If it's very complicated, even I need time."

After a pause, Su Rui said, "The complexity I'm referring to isn't the difficulty of the knowledge itself, but rather that if those foundational rites contain unique scripts and grammar, or even symbols created by a writer that only they know, then the process of organizing them will be affected."

Suri's words were echoed by Ramallian: "Those ancient texts are impossible for us to organize because of their chaotic grammar and many incomprehensible symbols. Of course, another reason is that there are just too many of these texts."

"I think this large library already has a lot of books, compared to all the ones displayed outside."

"Of course it can't compare to all the ones outside, but actually the difference isn't that much."

As Ramallian spoke, after the banshee brought some snacks, she handed the basket to Suri and then led the way:

"Let's go, I'll take you there."

Prince of Kazdel: The Hobbies of the 325 Banshees

Those seemingly aloof and serene succubi, who appeared to care about nothing but books, were actually quite talented at spreading gossip.

When Suri and Theresa followed Ramalien to the library on the lower level of the tower, they saw a circle of banshees staring at them, and many of them were jostling and trying to get closer to see a clearer picture.

However, they were quite well-behaved in front of Ramalien. When Ramalien walked past them, the banshees immediately quieted down and just silently watched Suri and Theresa. When Suri looked over curiously, she smiled at Su Ru.

"..." Then Ramallian led Suri and Theresa to the three banshees, where they saw three banshees with bruised and swollen faces, their clothes stained with charred or damp marks.

The three banshees, aware that their behavior was somewhat inappropriate, greeted Ramallian with awkward smiles:

"We are the administrators who will lead you to the library today. Please follow us."

"Be more careful next time." Ramallian sighed helplessly, not pursuing the matter too much. After all, even she couldn't resist the banshee's thirst for knowledge, so this was a normal phenomenon, right?

At least for now, these little demonesses are only fighting each other in a playful way, without really getting into a fight.

Then, the three banshees led Ramallian, Theresa, and Suri to the basement of the tower.

So the basement must be pitch black, and they probably only use candlelight for lighting, right? I'd go blind working in that kind of environment.

Although Suri was actually using his scanning vision to gather intelligence, this dark environment was indeed not suitable for him... Well, not exactly. The sheer darkness actually gave Suri a sense of security, but reading in a dimly lit environment was just too uncomfortable.

Theresa noticed Suri's emotions, who was standing close by. She looked at him with a puzzled expression, then gently squeezed Suri's hand to soothe him.

“I’m fine.” Suri turned to look at Theresa and tried to speak to her as quietly as possible.

However, given the banshees' keen hearing, Ramallian still heard Suri's words. The banshee queen turned around in confusion and asked, "What's wrong? If you have any questions about this deal, we can still talk."

"Okay, what's your basement like? I don't like dark environments, not some pitch-black basement with only a few candles."

Ramallian couldn't help but chuckle at Suri's words: "So, where would you like to do the tidying up?"

"If possible, I would like to work in a sunny meadow without mosquitoes."

Seeing that Ramallian seemed genuinely interested in listening to his advice, Suri made a request that was almost impossible to fulfill.

After all, the Banshee Valley in Kazdel is quite humid, so it's not suitable to take the books out; the ancient texts might get damaged.

The other dry places are where the Kazdel war is raging, so we can't work there.

However, Suri noticed that the three banshees leading the way all turned to look at her with shining eyes, then turned to look at Ramallian:

"We can do that!"

They can't really just take the books and me directly to the grassland, can they?

Suri was a little confused, then saw Ramallian nod: "In that case, it's up to you to fulfill Suri's requests from now on."

"We understand!" The banshees, who had been assigned tasks, were not upset at all; on the contrary, they were quite happy, looking at Su Rui as if she were some kind of treasure.

It seemed they really enjoyed reading, so Suri stopped worrying about it and just decided to see how they wanted to achieve their goal.

So, following the three banshees, they arrived at the basement. As the magic light shone, Suri discovered that the basement was even more spacious than the top of the tower.

The ceiling is six or seven meters high, and there are all kinds of books piled up on bookshelves that reach the ceiling, some of which are items with words and symbols engraved on them.

The lighting is actually quite bright now, so it seems the succubi aren't the type to read in dark environments.

Then, Su Rui saw the three female demons each take their staffs and go back into their houses.

What should have been solid walls around them gradually transformed into a spacious and bright grassland as the banshees cast their spells, with even a sun hanging overhead.

Apart from the bookshelves and the books on them, and the fact that the collection remains unchanged, this basement is almost unrecognizable as it was originally.

Such magic was not so simple for the three banshees. After casting the spell, Su Rui saw that they had to put down their staffs and catch their breath.

With some curiosity, Su Rui arrived at the location where the wall should have been, and a scan of her field of vision showed that the layout had not actually changed.

I gently reached out and touched it, and sure enough, I touched a cold wall. The so-called grassland under the sun was just an illusion.

However, Su Rui was quite satisfied; the only downside was that casting the spell was more expensive for the caster.

Suri glanced at the three female succubi who were watching him nervously, and nodded to them:

"In that case, I'll get right to work."

"Alright!" Hearing Su Rui say this, the three female demons perked up and, disregarding their exhaustion, immediately got up and came to Su Rui, wanting to help him:

"Where would you like to start? We'll get the books for you right away!"

"No need, you guys should rest first. And you guys, aren't you tired of standing like this?"

Suri found a chair and sat down, glancing at Theresa and Ramallian standing not far away: "I'm going to start working now. Make yourselves at home. Oh, and I'd like some hot drinks."

After speaking, Su Rui leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes. She looked more like a tired student who wanted to take a good rest than someone who was working.

Ramallian and the three banshees were all a little puzzled. Noticing Ramallian's gaze, Theresa smiled and gently put her index finger to her lips: "Shh~ Don't disturb Suri, this is his spell."

Although it's not actually magic, this makes it easier for them to understand.

Ramallian nodded: "Organizing these books will take a lot of time. Would you like to go have another cup of tea with me?"

"No, I'll stay here with Su Rui. By the way, do you have any furniture like a sofa? It would be more comfortable to sit here."

Theresa looked at Suri, who hadn't said anything but seemed somewhat dissatisfied with the hard chair; her ability to sense emotions was quite useful.

Prince of Kazdel: 326 will take a little while.

"Hmm?" Ramallian glanced in Suri's direction and immediately understood Theresa's method, but she did not let the three banshees do it.

After all, the spell had almost burned these three newborn little banshees to ashes.

"You all rest here. I'll call a few more people in." With that, Ramallian cast a communication spell again, contacting the banshees outside.

Soon, two more banshees arrived at the underground library using magic, accompanied by sofas, tables, and other furniture that were suspended in mid-air. After being surprised by the "sunny" appearance of the underground library, the two banshees began to arrange the layout of the central area.

After all, the library needs to be kept as dry as possible, so the living area should be kept away from the books.

After about an hour or two, the furniture and the accompanying spells had been arranged. Su Rui also temporarily snapped out of her thoughts of scanning and organizing the data, and got up to walk towards the bookshelf.

"Alright, so that you don't think I'm just sitting here slacking off, I'll show you some of the results first."

Su Rui picked up the entire row of books from the bookshelf... It was a bit heavy, so he wanted to readjust it, and then a helpful succubus came over to help him:

"Oh dear, you don't need to do these things. I'll help." "Me too."

And so, with the help of the banshees, the entire row of books was placed on the large, decorated table in the center. Suri glanced at the soft sofa, but did not sit down for the time being. Instead, under the watchful eyes of Ramallian, Theresa, and the other banshees, she went to the table and arranged the entire row of books one by one, like a street vendor.

It was only then that Su Rui noticed why these books were so heavy, because many of them had metal edging or the entire cover was made of metal.

Some books, when opened, have pages that are made of some kind of soft metal, and are incredibly heavy.

...I was too focused on organizing the materials before; I should have paid a little more attention to the condition of the books themselves.

Without dwelling on the matter too much, under the eager gazes of the banshees, Su Rui took out the directly translated document from her system space:

"This is a translation based on the current Kazdel language, so there may be slight differences in some places. You should pay attention when you read it."

As she spoke, Su Rui placed the bound translated books one by one on top of their respective original versions, carefully arranging them.

Under the astonished gazes of the banshees and even Ramallian, Suri clapped her hands:

"Alright, although I've compiled even more, this should keep you occupied for a while. Don't think I'm sleeping while I'm sitting there."

After saying that, Su Rui walked to the table next to him, picked up some snacks and drinks, and sat comfortably on the soft sofa, intending to take a rest. However, this did not affect his continued collection of intelligence and information.

From these ancient documents, Su Rui learned a great deal. Of course, these documents weren't as ancient as those of the previous civilization. Of the six banshees present, including Ramallian, most picked up the books Su Rui had translated and began to examine them. They quickly realized that Su Rui's translations were completely accurate, faithful, and elegant, not some stilted machine translation.

However, there were also more clever succubi, or perhaps, more flexible thinkers? In any case, one succubus, instead of going to read, came to Su Rui's side, brought her more snacks and drinks, and then leaned closer to her:

Is there anything else you need?

"Cunning fellow!" Before Suri could say anything, he felt the other banshees looking at the banshee beside him with that kind of gaze.

However, the succubus in front of her seemed to know that things would develop this way, but she still leaned against Su Rui, waiting for Su Rui's answer.

Seeing that the other succubi seemed poised to surround them, in order to prevent the situation from escalating further, Su Rui quickly spoke up:

"Alright, everyone stay away. I'll tell you directly what you need. I have plenty of reserves on hand. I'll bring out more after you've finished looking at them. Now, don't disturb me while I'm organizing the materials."

After Suri finished speaking, the banshees became much more subdued, and Suri was able to relax and look at Theresa sitting next to him.

Turning his head to look at the side, he saw that the banshees, including Ramallian, were all reading the books that Su Rui had translated. Su Rui even wondered if the banshees would not notice if he pinched their ears at this time.

However, Su Rui had no intention of actually doing it. Considering how she felt when she was disturbed while playing games, she could guess what the consequences would be if she disturbed these succubi.

So Suri picked up a snack, raised an eyebrow at Theresa, and gestured for her to have some too.

In the quiet library where only the sound of turning pages could be heard, Su Rui didn't really want to talk.

Theresa smiled, but instead of reaching for the pastry basket, she suddenly leaned close to Suri and snatched the pastry from her mouth just as Suri was about to eat it.

"Huh?" Suri looked at Theresa with a puzzled expression. "So many snacks, are you going to take them from my mouth? I almost ate them."

The feeling of having his food snatched from someone's mouth made Suri very uncomfortable, but he didn't make a scene with Theresa in such a quiet environment. He just picked up another pastry and glared at Theresa with annoyance.

However, Suri didn't forget this incident. Just as Theresa relaxed and reached for another pastry, Suri suddenly bumped into her and ate the pastry from Theresa's hand in one bite.

Suri glanced smugly at Theresa, then looked in the direction of the banshees, and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that they were still reading and hadn't noticed her.

However, from Theresa's perspective, the banshees were actually just pretending to read when Suri turned her head to look. Even Ramallian was the same, secretly laughing when Suri couldn't see her.

Although they love knowledge, the succubi also collect news and are naturally interested in gossip.

Moreover, recording Theresa's life as the Demon King can also be considered a kind of historical document, right?

However, Theresa asked in a low voice with some curiosity, "Suri, aren't you using the scanning field of view right now?"

“Do you think these documents are so easy to translate?” Suri rolled her eyes. “They’re full of abstract symbols. I’m putting all my energy into comparison and analysis right now.”

Prince of Kazdel: 327 actually feels a bit slow.

Theresa nodded, and exchanged a subtle glance with Ramallian, both of them smiling.

Ramallian's teasing made Theresa feel somewhat embarrassed that her thoughts had been exposed.

The translation and calibration work continued until evening, and Su Rui even took out her phone to kill time out of boredom.

At this moment, it was also time for the banshees in the underground library to have their dinner. Although they were a little reluctant, they put down the books in their hands and looked at Su Rui.

Would you like us to prepare dinner for you? Or you can come to our restaurant for a meal.

"Is the Valley of Tears where meals are provided uniformly?"

“Of course not, it’s just that library staff get these benefits.” Ramallian smiled, glancing at Suri, who wasn’t planning to get up.

“Then we’ll bring you two dinners.” With that, Ramallian and the other banshees got up and walked outside, winking at Theresa as she did so. “We’ll be back soon. If you need to rest, there are rooms in the library. Oh, and there’s also a place to rest in the underground library, it’s just been renovated.”

Almost everyone present understood what "Lamaren" meant, and the young banshees couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle. Suri glanced up at them and continued playing their game, leaving Theresa alone in the quiet atmosphere, feeling a little awkward.

However, although she was a little nervous, Theresa noticed that Suri didn't seem to care much about it.

So Theresa tentatively nudged Suri with her shoulder.

"What? If you want to, at least wait until I finish this game."

Suri responded to Theresa without turning his head, as if he had known from the beginning what Theresa wanted to do.

"...Suri, do you know what I'm talking about?" Theresa was a little embarrassed by Suri's unwavering attitude. She tentatively asked Suri, carefully observing the expression on his face.

"I'm not some clueless child. Ramallian said those things just now because she realized you had ulterior motives towards me, right?"

"How can it be called plotting something sinister? I just, I just..."

Theresa was taken aback by what Suri said, her heart raced, and she instinctively tried to defend herself.

"This is just normal feeling that has developed after spending time with Suri. There's nothing wrong with wanting to be intimate with you, right? How can it be called having ulterior motives?"
