"Let's try the coffee in Raphael's Library. Even though the taste isn't that different from the outside, the atmosphere is still the most important. A peaceful afternoon in the oldest library of mankind, with millions of books in it, smelling the aroma of books and coffee. This is what life should be like."
Your Honor, the future Supreme Magus, sighed. The young man couldn't help but recall the dark and miserable days in the Wizard Tower. Even though the principal and vice principal had never abused him in terms of food and clothing, the mental abuse was undoubtedly more terrifying.
Steins and Demain had students all over the world, but both of them had devoted their entire lives to magic. They didn't have any children and naturally didn't know how to take care of a child. Towards the future Supreme Magus, Your Honor, they simply force-fed him education. They never thought of hosting a party for the young man in their Mage Tower. Other than reading, Rob didn't have any other entertainment.
All these years, the future Supreme Magus, Your Honor, had been enjoying life. The young man felt that escaping from the academy was a wise choice. If not, he would still be tortured by Demain in all sorts of ways, and he wouldn't be sitting leisurely on the chair in the library.
However, The Brave newbie was glaring at him with an unfriendly gaze.
"Since the taste is the same, why do you want more?! This price is enough to buy ten cups of coffee outside! Besides, we spent a silver coin to find the book, and now these two cups of coffee have cost us almost half a silver coin. Since when did you learn to be so extravagant? "The girl seemed to be exasperated at Zhang Heng's failure to meet her expectations.
Rob felt a little awkward. When he and Lolo first met, he was indeed penniless. However, after the trip to the Dungeon, Archmage's financial situation had improved greatly. Now that he had more than 20 gold coins in his pocket, he was confident that he could afford two cups of expensive coffee. However, he forgot that he couldn't explain to the girl how he got the money. All his expenses these days were actually paid by the newbie Brave.
In other words, the two cups of coffee would also be paid by Lolo later.
Archmage rubbed his nose and said awkwardly, "That … Why don't I pay this time?"
"Forget it. Let's talk about treating after you find a job." The girl shook her head. "Also, I think what Arikos said makes sense. We won't be able to finish reading so many books in one afternoon. Why don't we fill in a borrowing form and bring these books back to the hotel?"
"Don't worry, I'm just looking for clues related to the Holy Roland Brotherhood Academy of Magic. I don't need to memorize everything, so I'll be able to read it faster. Hey, why are you here again?" The Archmage said to Arikos, who was walking towards them.
"It just so happens that I have nothing to do at the moment, so I'll help you guys look for it." After the brief contact, the young librarian had a good first impression of the two, especially Lolo. This girl was beautiful and kind-hearted. In contrast, her companion was slightly more ordinary. There was nothing special about his appearance, but there was nothing annoying about him. It was just that this guy didn't seem to understand the situation and was obviously too optimistic about his reading speed.
As the librarian of the Raphael Library, Arikos was naturally a person who liked to read. Other than his memory, which he was proud of, his reading speed far exceeded that of ordinary people. However, even if he wanted to finish reading so many books, it would take him at least six or seven days. That guy named Rob was obviously bragging in front of a beautiful girl.
This made Arikos a little uncomfortable, but he did not deliberately come to see someone make a fool of himself. He really wanted to help the two. Even if there was another person, it would still be impossible to read so many books in one afternoon, but his participation would more or less speed up the progress.
Therefore, Arikos decided to take half a day off from the librarian and volunteered to search for clues about St. Roland's Brethren Academy of Magic together with The Brave and her guardian knight.
However, his good intentions were met with a chuckle. "There's no need for that. Don't you have to work? I don't want to trouble you anymore. The two of us are enough to read the books."
"If I were you, I wouldn't be so confident in myself," the young librarian replied calmly.
The future Supreme Magister Your Honor raised his eyebrows. He could smell a faint smell of gunpowder in the air.
Rob was a little puzzled. His previous words were out of goodwill, and he only stated a simple fact. He did not know why it made Arikos unhappy. However, Archmage did not take it to heart. After all, it was not a bad thing to have another person to help. In the end, Rob only smiled and said to the young librarian, "Thank you."
Arikos nodded and did not say a word. He moved a small stool to the side and sat down. The three of them stopped talking and buried their heads in the books, looking for clues about St. Roland's Brethren Academy of Magic between the lines.
Lolo chose Freedom and Art: A Detailed Guide to the Construction of the Gudilesi University City. It had a total of 180,000 words. The girl estimated that if all went well, she should be able to finish the book before sunset.
The young librarian chose "The Chronicle of Gudilesi", which had the largest number of books. Arikos was confident that he could finish reading all three volumes in one afternoon. This reading speed was really amazing. After that, he also paid attention to Luo Bu, who was next to him. As he expected, the braggart picked up nine volumes of "Ukiyo-e of the Southern Cities".
The young librarian shook his head inwardly. In his heart, he had already classified Rob as the kind of person who only knew how to brag in front of the opposite sex. Arikos felt a little sorry for Lolo. He did not understand why the girl would become friends with such a person. However, he quickly turned his attention to the book in his hand and began to search. He really hoped that he could be of help to Lolo.
On the other hand, the guy next to him had a much worse attitude. Archmage was still thinking about his cup of coffee. He scooped two spoonfuls of sugar into it and stirred it for a while with a spoon. In between, he took the time to enjoy the beautiful scenery outside the window. Although Raphael Library was located in the city center, the surrounding scenery was very beautiful. There were clean lawns, tall trees, and beautiful cobblestone paths. When one was tired of reading, one only needed to look out the window to immediately recover a lot of energy.
But up until now, the book in front of Luo Bu had yet to be opened, while Arikos, who was beside him, had already read more than 20 pages. Even Luo Luo had only flipped through five pages. In comparison, the great magus was undoubtedly lagging far behind.
