Encountering a black dragon on the second underground floor was what Ma Wen wanted to see the most.
He wasn't sure if he could defeat the rest of the five-colored primordial dragons.
Although their strength was greatly restricted by the Advanced Shapeshifting Spell, they were still able to use their full strength.
They were basically equivalent to a legendary wizard with a strong body.
Only the black dragons couldn't use draconic magic, so Ma Wen could easily defeat them.
It was said that this had something to do with the betrayal of the black dragons.
Although Ma Wen was interested in the ancient history, it wasn't the main point right now.
His main goal now was the library.
As for the Nightmare Realm, he was only volunteering to help, so he wasn't the main force.
With Master Swordsman Koen, the Professor, and the others personally taking action, Marvin originally had the mentality of being a bystander. He also wanted to see if he could get any benefits.
After all, although the underground temple was dangerous, there were many hidden treasures. The library was one of them.
Besides, the underground temple was so complicated, and it wouldn't be easy to find the entrance to the next floor.
Ma Wen believed that even the five-colored dragons wouldn't be able to find the entrance so easily. At least, that was what the metal dragons' information said.
…
To enter the library, Ma Wen deduced based on the information he had, and it would be a bit troublesome.
The administrator, Fatih, was a very strong spellcaster. She controlled the entire library and guarded the door of the library.
If outsiders wanted to enter the library, they had to get her permission.
The dragon soul warned Ma Wen that ever since the death of the dragon god, Fatih had become moody and extremely evil.
She was a god under the dragon god, so she should have disappeared with the death of Hutson.
Due to some other reasons, she survived, but she also became very deformed.
She was the descendant of a dragon and a human. She had terrifying draconic magic and had a god template. Basically, she was like a super servant.
In fact, Ma Wen wasn't afraid of simple servants.
Because most servants were spellcasters, they were more experienced in the control and use of divine spells.
Their weakness was their physical body, but because they had divine power to protect themselves, they often ignored this.
After all, there were too few weapons in this world that possessed the attribute of [Divine Prohibition].
Ma Wen's Green Leaf was one of them.
That was why he loved hunting Divine Servants.
But the problem was that not only was Fade a powerful Draconic Sorcerer, her body had also been modified by Hutson.
It was said that Hutson had infused her with his own blood and God's Origin, giving her a powerful life force.
Ma Wen always kept a respectful distance from any creature that was related to the Origin of God.
He had killed the Demonic Phoenix so many times that he could tell that.
As long as Ma Wen made a single mistake, he would die a tragic death.
As a matter of fact, he did give the Demonic Phoenix a chance during the battle. If Eve hadn't arrived in time and stabbed the Demonic Phoenix to death, Ma Wen wouldn't have been able to continue his Infinite Killing Streak.
It could be seen that fighting this kind of creature that could be resurrected was a very troublesome thing.
Ma Wen didn't want to face Fatih directly.
So he needed a helper.
And Black Dragon Icarina was obviously a good candidate.
…
Icarina hesitated for a moment when she heard Ma Wen's request, but she chose to agree in the end.
As a matter of fact, she had no choice but to lower her head.
Any dragon in human form would tremble from the bottom of their heart when the Dragon-Slaying Spear was pointed at their chest.
It was because they could hear sounds that ordinary people couldn't — the cries of the dragons that had been killed by the Dragon-Slaying Spear.
Icarina even heard the cries of a few black dragons.
They were begging her to avenge them.
However, she had no choice but to cooperate with Ma Wen with a bitter expression.
"Can you take your spear away?"
Icarina said unhappily, "My husband's life is still in your hands. You don't have to worry that I'll do something that's not good for you."
Ma Wen smiled. "For the sake of our cooperation, I think we should sign a contract."
Icarina was alert.
"Contract? What contract? "
"I'd rather die if it's an enslavement contract like Ishaka's."
Marvin shook his head and said, "No. "No, it's just a contract to ensure our cooperation."
Ma Wen didn't intend to take both black dragons as his servants.
Although he did have the ability to do so.
He took Ishaka in because the situation required it at the time.
At that time, the White River Valley was in a state of crisis. Taking the black dragons by force could not only damage the enemy's morale, but also enhance his own strength.
The black dragons were also very powerful, which was reflected in the subsequent battle.
Apart from the Dragon-Slaying Set, the black dragon's body was almost invincible.
Even if he was now seriously injured and recuperating, for the outside world, the fact that Sir Ma Wen of the White River Valley had a black dragon army (many people would mistake the Shadow Dragon as a member of the black dragons) was a very powerful deterrent.
…
And now, he just wanted to borrow Icarina's power.
Of course, it was also good to stop the Five-Colored Dragons from opening the Nightmare Realm.
The professor once said that the opening of the Nightmare Realm required not only the green dragon key, but also the gathering of the Five-Colored Dragons — — it was said that the prophecy also specifically pointed to the return of the black dragons.
If Icarina was held up by him, it would be more advantageous for the professors.
They would have more time to plan and prepare.
…
Both parties signed a one-time contract. It would take effect within three days.
Within three days, they could not fight each other. Icarina had to distract the administrator Fadi for Ma Wen, and Ma Wen would promise that if Icarina fulfilled her promise and successfully held up the administrator Fadi, he would release the black dragon Ishaka within three months.
This contract seemed to be a little disadvantageous to Ma Wen.
Icarina only helped to distract the administrator's hatred, and she got so many benefits.
But thinking about it, Ma Wen did not lose anything.
What's more, he played a little trick in the contract — — he explicitly promised that if Ishaka was willing to terminate the contract, then he would terminate the slavery contract with Ishaka.
But in fact, based on the experience these days, Ma Wen had already figured out what kind of guy Ishaka was: The characteristics of being afraid of death and relying on the strong to bully the weak were vividly reflected in him!
Why did he sign a slavery contract with Ma Wen?
There was only one reason: fear of death!
Although the slavery contract allowed him to be ordered around by Ma Wen, it also restricted Ma Wen from doing anything to him!
This was a form of protection in disguise.
By then, as long as Ma Wen revealed a little bit of murderous intent, Ishaka would probably ask not to terminate the contract … …
After all, once the contract was terminated, Ma Wen could stab him with a spear at any time.
This was the black dragon's helplessness.
This was also Ma Wen's little plan. He had dealt with the devil so many times in his previous life, he was too familiar with the law of contracts.
… …
"If I have Icarina's help, it should be much smoother."
"Ishaka is her husband and brother, she won't cheat, right?"
In front of a dark door, Ma Wen hid in the shadows, quietly thinking.
And Icarina glanced at Ma Wen, and finally slowly walked into the depths of the door.
This was actually a hall, and it was only two corridors away from where they were talking.
The number of biting books in these two corridors and the hall seemed to increase exponentially, and Ma Wen's scalp tingled.
If Icarina did not help him, he would probably be bitten a lot if he cleaned up by himself.
Unless he transformed into an Azura Grizzly Bear.
But if he did that, it would be too big of a commotion.
It would definitely alert the library manager, Fadi.
And in the process, Ma Wen also learned some information from Icarina.
The reason why she extinguished the flames was because the flames in the brazier were the surveillance eyes of another powerful monster on the second underground level — [Fighter] Rogge.
The entire second underground level was under the control of the fighter.
These flames were all his eyes.
If Manager Fadi said that as long as you did not try to break into the library, she would not attack you, but Fighter Rogge could attack every living creature that broke into the second underground level.
The information from the five-colored dragon was more direct, and the professor did not mention anything about Fighter Rogge, so it seemed like he did not know either.
Ma Wen wanted to get more information from Icarina, but the black dragon only casually said that Fighter Rogge was a pet of the Dragon God Hutson.
A mutated fire demon with terrifying strength and many tricks. No one knew where it was, and no one knew what it wanted to do.
Anyway, it was on the second underground level, and it could directly extinguish the brazier when it saw it.
After hearing this, Ma Wen could not help but break out in a cold sweat.
He had encountered so many braziers before, and nothing happened to him, he was considered lucky.
This underground temple was indeed full of danger.
However, the soul of the giant dragon did not tell him anything about Roger the Fighter. Could it be that he didn't know about it?
Or did the dragon soul have ulterior motives?
Ma Wen's heart was full of doubts.
This trip to the underground temple was indeed full of uncertainty, and this uncertainty seriously affected his judgment.
At this point, he could only take one step at a time.
…
Icarina knew where the library was.
However, the black dragon was not interested in the library, unlike humans, they had an almost endless desire for knowledge.
So when Ma Wen asked if he could trade the sheepskin scrolls dropped by the biting book, the black dragon generously gave all the scrolls to Ma Wen.
This time, it was so enthusiastic that Ma Wen could not believe it.
He counted, and together with Icarina's sheepskin scrolls, he could almost complete a book, only lacking a few pages.
The name of the book was "Bileg's Force Field Theory".
It seemed to be written by a wizard called Bileg in ancient times, and it was about force field witchcraft.
Because it was a wizard book, Ma Wen naturally failed to read it.
He only put the sheepskin scrolls together. To read it, he had to at least learn many basic characteristics of a wizard, such as [Spell Book Decipher], [Rune Knowledge], and so on.
As a professional who made a living with a knife, he was no different from an illiterate person in front of these books.
…
Ma Wen waited quietly.
Not long after, an angry shout came from behind the dark door.
Then, a black shadow quickly passed through the gate and fled into the distance.
It was Icarina's figure.
Chasing behind her was a fiery red shadow, her speed was even faster than Icarina's!
Ma Wen's eyelids twitched, was this the speed of Manager Fadi?
With his strength, he could only see a shadow?
This meant that the other party's speed was even faster than him with the help of magic!
"Time is tight! I don't know how long Icarina can last! "
Ma Wen knew that he did not have much time left.
He did not hesitate, and after a simple trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain, he directly sneaked in.
He quickly activated it and rushed into the dark door.
Inside the door, there was a huge space.
Inside the space, there were endless bookshelves.
There seemed to be no end to these bookshelves, extending to an unknown distance and into an infinite distance.
But the books on these bookshelves were used to confuse people.
If not for the dragon soul's reminder, Ma Wen would really go to the bookshelves and look through them.
But if he did that, he would only find a pile of useless books in the secular world.
Maybe he would even encounter some traps, alarm traps, or instant death traps for the book thieves!
Yes, all the bookshelves in this space were a cover.
This was not the real dragon's library at all.
"Entrance!"
"Entrance … …"
Marvin sprinted across the bookshelves as he muttered to himself,
"39th row, 39th row … …"
"72nd bookshelf … …"
… …
Outside the dark door, two shadows quickly fled.
Suddenly, Icarina stopped in her tracks.
"Almost."
The black dragon sneered at Manager Fadi: "Is your brain still so simple? Do you think I'm really interested in those rotten books? "
Manager Fadi was an extremely ugly woman.
She was very fat, her whole body was like a full balloon, and there were horrible sarcomas on her face.
Her voice was low, like a man's: "Traitor, what else do you have to say?"
"The entire Black Dragon race is a fallen existence that betrayed God, even if you're not interested in the library, I'll still kill you."
The black dragon smiled and said: "Is that so? What if I tell you that there's a human brat who has secretly entered the library? "
Fadi's expression changed: "You're lying!"
Icarina casually took out a mirror. The mirror showed the scene of Ma Wen quickly passing through countless bookshelves.
"He's the one who's interested in the library, if you want to stick to your post, you should kill him."
The black dragon raised her chin arrogantly: "But unfortunately, he's much more cunning than you think, I even doubt if you can catch him in the library."
"For this, I'm prepared to help you — of course, this is a trade."
"Tell me the entrance to the third underground floor, and I'll give you this mirror — — don't be suspicious, Fadi, this mirror is just an ordinary alchemy product. I left something on him, that's why I can see his shadow. "
Manager Fadi said coldly:
"Aren't your calculations a little too good?"
"I can kill you first, then deal with that human, I don't believe a human can find … …"
In the next second, her face turned the color of pig liver!
As the manager of the library, her mind was connected to the real door of the library.
When Ma Wen found the secret door mentioned by the dragon soul and opened it with the key, Fadi immediately sensed it.
The next second, she roared: "Give me the mirror!"
Once Ma Wen entered the inner space of the library, if she couldn't locate Ma Wen immediately, she might be severely punished!
Although the entire library was under her control … … but there were still some places that she couldn't see.
If Ma Wen entered those places, she couldn't imagine what would happen to him.
The black dragon smiled and said:
"The entrance to the next floor."
"You must know."
… …
The library.
Behind the secret door was a simple and desolate world.
When Ma Wen opened his eyes for the first time, he was stunned.
So this was how the dragon's library looked like.
This was a small island.
There was a mountain on the island, surrounded by four different terrains: desert, lake, forest, and mountain.
Ma Wen was currently standing on the peak of the mountain, overlooking everything.
As for the edge of the island, it was an endless blue ocean.
"This is … … the outer plane?"
Ma Wen swallowed with difficulty.
If it really was the outer plane, then this place would be full of danger.
Whether it was the [Book of Forgiveness] that the dragon soul needed, or the [Scroll of Wisdom] that could suppress the Book of Naru, they were all hidden in some secret places on this island.
"What kind of library is this, it's clearly a book island."
Ma Wen couldn't help but complain in his mind.
The next second, he started to move.
The first thing that could be confirmed was that the mountain itself was also a place where books were stored.
Along the way, he could see many caves. The caves were densely packed, and there was a powerful divine seal on the outside.
Through these transparent seals, Ma Wen could see some balls of light constantly attacking the seals.
These were ancient books that had been around for countless years. They had absorbed a large amount of divinity and possessed a certain level of spiritual intelligence.
If time and conditions allowed, Ma Wen really wanted to get a few more of these books.
No matter which book it was, although not as terrifying as the Book of Naaru, it was definitely at the level of a treasure.
Unfortunately, the librarian Fadi wouldn't let him get what he wanted.
He could only search for what he wanted as quickly as possible.
According to the dragon soul, the Book of Forgiveness and the Scroll of Wisdom were buried in the east and west of the library respectively.
But in this space, Ma Wen had lost his sense of direction, so he could only pick a random direction and run quickly.
… …
After going down the mountain, he entered a mountain with uneven terrain.
These mountains were also very interesting.
There were many stone tables here, and some books were scattered on the tables.
This way of collecting books seemed to be messy, but in fact, it secretly followed a certain rule.
Next to each book, there was a name in the dragon language, the elven language, and the common language.
Fortunately, there was the common language, so Ma Wen could recognize it.
He quickly swept past these desks, but he didn't touch the books.
Because once he touched the books, he would definitely trigger the library's alarm.
At this time, Ma Wen still didn't know that the black dragon had betrayed him.
Librarian Fadi was actually already on the way.
