Chapter 10, Administrator of the Great Library
big library,
It can be said to be the largest book collection center in the entire Pokémon Continent.
As soon as he entered the museum, Charmander was deeply shocked by what he saw:
Antique cylindrical bookshelves are piled all around. Sunlight shines in from the large Gothic castle-style glazed windows at the top, shining on a bronze sculpture in the center of the hall on the first floor.
The book sculpture is clearly engraved:
Good reading, good reading, good reading.
As the name suggests, the Great Library is where the elves do research, study and study.
Moreover, there is a nameplate used to record numbers at the entrance of the hall, which indicates the number of books in the library today.
16,500 books in storage
There are 4310 books in the collection
There are 2110 collections under revision
"There are so many books. There are more than 10,000 books in the library today!"
Charmander, who came here for the first time, couldn't help but be surprised.
In fact, this was the main reason why Pikachu wanted to bring Charmander to the big library in the first place.
The information in the big library can be read by two little ones all day long. It would be great if they could find information about Charmander's life experience. Even if they couldn't find it, they could still deduce it from tens of thousands of books. .
All in all, this large library is like the largest library in the world.
As long as you spend some time looking for it, the mystery of Charmander's floating bottle will definitely be solved.
The next moment,
The two little ones began to walk towards the collection entrance at the end of the hall.
Charmander looked up at the countless cylindrical bookshelves around him and said casually:
“I feel like I can’t finish reading just the books in the hall in a lifetime.”
"And there are so many books in this library. There must be many librarians in such a large library. How do they manage it every day?"
Pikachu: "Of course~"
"The bookshelves in the hall are just the tip of the iceberg in the big library. You will know when you enter the main library later."
"The inside is more than a hundred times bigger than the outside. Of course, the cute and powerful librarian is indispensable~"
A hundred times bigger?
Plus a cute and powerful librarian?
Charmander, who was looking forward to it, no longer dared to think about what it was like inside the library. In short, when he passed Treasure Town today, he had already experienced what it meant to be a world where only elves lived.
The elves who opened shops one after another, the invisible dragon who sold groceries, the old principal Mr. Electric Dragon, and the administrator of the big library whom he had never met before.
In short, everything is just an elf!
It was only now that Charmander gradually got used to it.
In this wonderful world, we cannot judge based on common sense. If that doesn't work, just treat all elves as humans!
[Soon, the main building door]
"Ka-ka-"
The first thing that came out was the sound of two crisp gears colliding, and then the two giant cathedral-like doors of the main hall slowly opened.
【!!!!!】
"This, this is!!!"
Almost at the same moment when the two little ones opened the door, the bells that had not subsided for a long time echoed in the hall.
At this moment, the giant clock on the top of the castle has just reached 12 noon.
The solemn and sacred bells resounded in every corner of the great library.
Charmander and Pikachu are standing in the middle of the castle's hanging staircase. The sunken bookshelf has 36,500 levels, and the spiral bookshelf has 77,490,81 columns.
Compared with the bottomless ladder of the Great Library, any elf is as small as an ant.
The six Gothic glazed windows at the top were half-closed, causing the hazy light that originally filtered in to gradually weaken, replaced by candlesticks lighting up one by one on the millions of bookshelves.
One lamp, seven lamps, fourteen lamps...
When the glazed windows were completely closed, the entire library was like a silent starry night. Tens of millions of candlesticks were lit in sequence, and the flickering candlelight highlighted the antique calligraphy and ink.
"Those candlelights are candlelight spirits!"
"swing--"
"swing----"
"Dang——————" (Three consecutive bells)
At the last moment, a white night elf slowly descended from the top of the castle. Its deep eyes were spotless, and a pair of white small erect ears were extremely exquisite. Along with the praying posture, it sang a beautiful song in mid-air:
"The bright blue moon, the pilgrimage of darkness"
"Red night shadow, time is eternal"
"Sleep here in the white night——"
"Angel memories, trickling thoughts"
"Ethereal hope, praising inheritance"
"I swear here in my dream——"
The prayer is finished.
I saw the white night elf's toes tapping the ground gently, as if there was another unspeakable mysterious superpower gently lifting her up, making no sound with every move.
She is the administrator of the great library——
Super Miaomiao.
"Charmander, are you okay? Charmander, please wake up!"
Charmander was already speechless. Everything that had just happened couldn't be described in words, as well as the prayer songs that resonated every minute.
He spoke slowly with blurred eyes:
"This song is like the swan song of the last goblin in the world!
“In short, there is a special feeling that I can’t explain, but I definitely feel it!”
The moment he finished speaking, Super Miaomiao's little bow tie fluttered slightly:
"What I just sang is the elf blessing song, which is the first movement of "Tower of Time, Preface, and the Fairy Song". It is the blessing song that the last little goblin in the world once hummed.
Those who can resonate with it are rare. "
Pikachu was also immersed in the beautiful singing:
"Today's singing is as beautiful as before, Super Miaomiao."
"On weekdays, if I read a book at night, I can't hear it even if I want to~"
Um, are there any conditions for triggering this plot?
Here is Pikachu’s encyclopedia knowledge time:
The librarian of the Great Library is Super Mew.
To be precise, they are two Meowth cats, also known as the White Night Elf and the Dark Night Elf.
Whenever it is noon (daytime) or midnight (night), the castle bell will ring on time.
The White Night Super Mew and the Dark Night Super Mew will sing fairy songs along with the bells to soothe the souls in each book. Of course, listening to the singing when you are tired from reading can also eliminate fatigue and purify the soul.
It's daytime now, which means that the person standing in front of me is the super-powerful Miaomiao in the form of white night!
"So you two are here to study?"
Charmander and Pikachu nodded, and Pikachu quickly pushed Charmander with his little claw:
"Charmander, tell her the books you want to look up and she will help you find them~"
Hey hey hey hey hey, okay!
"I want to look up ancient historical books. The specific timeline is from 11 years ago. It's best to be more detailed. I want to know what major events happened 11 years ago."
After finishing his words, Super Miaomiao whispered softly:
"11 years ago..."
"This year is 2020 in the Elf Calendar, which lasts sixty years, so eleven years ago it was 2009, Ji Chou..."
At the same time, Super Miaomiao naturally closed his eyes lightly and continued to perform prayer movements, but this time the prayer was no longer accompanied by singing, but instead scattered super power fluctuations in all directions, covering the entire large library.
This is!
The books on the bookshelf at the end are all moving!
Then came the drifting caused by super power fluctuations, and then the opening and closing of the pages of the book!!
The super-powerful Miaomiao used her telepathy to read everything, and finally whispered in a low voice:
"There are 136,158 ancient books about 11 years ago. The thoughts coming from your heart tell me,
What you want to read are these five books. "
At the last moment, five ancient books floated in the air one after another, slowly floating in front of the little fire dragon.
Goblin Song comes from the classic game Castlevania series. Of course, the Gothic architecture + bookshelf corridors of the Great Library are as gorgeous as the library in Castlevania. Because of the relationship between the writing power and the development of the picture, it feels so difficult, 8.2, rainy season It hasn’t passed yet. Anyway, it rained at different times throughout the day. It rained non-stop on a good Sunday. Please support me by voting, collecting and tipping. By the way, why is the character drawing style a bit strange? ?
