In the library of the Ravenclaw Temple, under the secret chamber of the Temple of Ravenclaw.
The library was placed in a self-contained space that seemed to be made up of an infinite number of equilateral triangular rooms. The center of each floor had no ceiling or floor, and was used as a ventilation duct. The surrounding area was surrounded by low fences, and looking out from any of the fences, one could see that each floor was divided into an identical library with the same layout.
The lighting problem came from some crystal balls made of celestial bodies suspended in the air in the room. These celestial bodies were named after the celestial bodies that lit up the sky, and moved slowly in a certain orbit in each triangular shape. The light they emitted was continuous but not blinding. All the light was just right and could be adjusted to a certain extent according to the needs of the reader. In fact, these magical creations, which Arthur had inspired from Muggle's intelligent lighting facilities, had been popularized in the floating city. The difficulty of creating and using them within the range of energy nuclei was almost negligible compared to the traditional methods.
In each triangular room, every wall was filled with bookshelves, and there was a doorway in the center of each wall. Exiting from one of the doorways would lead to the next triangular room. Each floor had an infinite number of triangular rooms, and these triangular rooms were arranged like a beehive.
Almost every facade of each triangular room was filled with bookshelves, and books were placed on the shelves from time to time. The clerics of the temple were adding knowledge to the newly built library and labeling them according to Muggle's classification. After that, the books were placed on the shelves on the walls, and these books would immediately be transported to the corresponding shelves in the triangular room.
Whether it was the wizard or Muggle, the Ravenclaw Temple was trying to collect as many books as they could, and when a triangular room was full of books, new books would be placed in the next room. There were even some hidden spiral staircases that the gods had set up.
Library catalogs, fake catalogs, and fake catalogs, as well as fake catalogs and real certificates that proved that the catalogs were fake, and so on, were things that were ostensibly used to train the intelligence of the readers. It was as if every doorway in each library room was surrounded by the lenses of the Eris Mirror, which unmistakably reflected the most urgent and strongest desires in your heart.
A kind of creature with a Ravenclaw pendant around its neck and a cloak over its body floated in the air as if it had been soaked in water. It had scabbed palms and rotted bodies. The kind of Eris Dementors that had been modified by Ravenclaw, with a triangular mirror fragment embedded in each of their palms. As guards and attendants, they patrolled up and down the ventilation ducts. Their ability to suck the happiness out of wherever they passed by did not affect the library area outside the fence.
Readers could seek services from the Dementors, who could use the lenses on their bodies to create illusory symbols. For example, they could ask the Dementors for the drinks and snacks provided in the library, cola and pudding. The premise was that the readers had to be smart enough to decipher and understand the logic of the riddle-like symbols and communicate with them. Although the Dementors could actually communicate directly with the English alphabet, their masters obviously forbade them from doing so.
In addition, the readers who sought such services would not mind that the Dementors with their scabbed palms would touch the imported food, and the Dementors would not answer questions about why the Ravenclaw Temple only provided two kinds of food, and one of them was a Muggle drink.
To enter any room in the library, one had to wear the Ravenclaw pendant. Before entering, one had to apply in advance and obtain permission from the Library Management Office of the Temple. The Dementors could only view the rooms that were open to the public or allowed to enter, such as those that provided the temple with secret knowledge.
The pendant worn by the Dementors ensured that the triangular room they would stay in was the one that contained the knowledge they needed the most. The location of each room in the library was not fixed. After a while, each room would teleport to another location, just like how every piece of a puzzle looked the same and could be interchanged.
There was a restriction in the library, and the Dementors, fairies, and phoenixes could not teleport directly into the library. If one tried to break through the defense mechanism, he or she would be immediately detected by the temple.
Intruders who tried to use illusionary spells from the entrance, even if they were strong enough to sneak in without wearing the pendant, would be trapped in a room in the infinite library, waiting to be arrested and punished by the temple, along with the Dementors who tried to read the books without permission.
These offenders would never find the right way out. Even if they were lucky enough to see the entrance from where they were, they would be teleported into another room.
When they entered the doorway, they were randomly teleported to another room. Since the library was located in the temple of Ravenclaw, everything that happened here was under the control of Ravenclaw, who was in the secret chamber at the top of the temple.
Generally speaking, the library of the Ravenclaw Shrine, which could be expanded endlessly, contained every possible book, be it prophecies of the future or history of the past, magic or non-magic, true knowledge or false knowledge, and so on. The number of books in the library was theoretically infinite, and it was the ultimate library that contained infinite knowledge and all the books.
Currently, beside the fence of a triangular room in the Infinite Library, a slightly chubby old man with pale skin and hair was patting the back of a neatly dressed young male adept who was vomiting on the fence. The old man was trying to prevent the young adept from choking on the carbonated drink and pudding that he vomited.
"This library of yours is indeed a product of the gods. It emphasizes the eternal existence of the library and gives the library a sacred and mysterious color … It's a product of the infinite universe." The old man's voice was full of sarcasm. "But Allen … I didn't expect you, the star of Quidditch, to have motion sickness … You'll faint in a moving room? Then why do you have so many extravagant gimmicks … Ah, be careful … "
Ol 'Amos pulled Allen, who was vomiting on the fence, to prevent him from being hit by the vomit that he vomited and fell from the top. The Dementors were flying from each floor to the hollow in the middle, each holding a trash can and trying to catch the remaining vomit. Many of them seemed to have been drenched in it.
"… I ate a little too much just now … Sorry, Gettler … Let's go out and visit the university …" Although Allen had recovered, he was still embarrassed by the fact that he was carsick because of the library that he and his wife had designed together. "This library still has a lot of room for improvement …"
