Chapter 35 The Oak Wise
Following the spiral stairs, I soon arrived at an underground library, filled with dusty bookshelf and books with old covers.
That's right, it's here.
Looking at the underground library in front of him, Qin Yu felt relieved.
Since it is to let players find it, it is naturally impossible to do it too hidden, just want to be meaningful.
The next thing to do is to find the book you are looking for.
Qin Yu thought about it, and slowly lingered between the bookshelf.
Whenever he passes a book, some strange whispers often sound in his ears. Those old books seem very unusual. Some whispers are drawn to attract him to read. Some look plain, but make people feel inexplicably hidden in it. There is the desire to open and see, while others suddenly appear dust, as if some strange power is sealed in the book. In short, it makes people feel a little strange.
This atmosphere is so mysterious and weird. If it were an ordinary player, he would probably have been completely addicted to it.
Unfortunately, for the old player Qin Yu, the rendering of this environment is completely insignificant, and he is so charming that he can show the blind man a glamorous look.
He is not a novice who has never played such a game. He knows that these are just game effects. Although the task introduction says that there is only one mysterious ancient book in this library, in fact, each book can be regarded as a mysterious ancient book. As long as you open it, some kind of strangeness will appear to tell the player that you have found the right one, but as long as you read one of them, the others will automatically become ordinary books.
In a sense, it can be regarded as "Schrödinger's book". All books are currently in quantum form. They may be mysterious ancient books or they may be just ordinary books, which depends entirely on the player's choice.
Of course, this is because Qin Yu knew the truth and thought so. If it were ordinary players, they would only feel that they were really like the protagonist of the novel, as if driven by incredible mysterious power, and accidentally found the real mysterious ancient book.
Book of Prometheus? Haha, let’s forget about the things in Greek mythology.
Book of the Necromancer? It’s wonderful to touch less things in Cthulhu.
Revelation of Christ? Sorry, I really don’t get along with God.
Hey, there is actually the Book of Three Leaf Crocodile!? This is a book related to the Goddess of Luck. The mysterious scholar has only one-third chance of making it clear at the beginning. Unexpectedly, he was encountered by himself. Unfortunately, he already had something to do with him, so he can only apologize.
Qin Yu soon arrived at the most central location of the library. According to the records in the guide, Meilin's Book should generally be refreshed at this location. This book is a hidden item and must have a high perception to find it.
However, here is a small open space with a desk for reading, but there is no bookshelves.
There was an unopened book on the desk. Qin Yu stroked the dust on the cover, but it was not what he was looking for.
Suddenly, he found something strange, as if something was peering at him. He took two steps back and looked carefully at the front of him. There were nine pillars in the library, distributed in the nine palace layout, and there happened to be one in the center. Just behind the desk, the pillar seemed to be made of a whole tree trunk, without paint, and the grains of trees could still be seen on the surface. On the pillar, the patterns vaguely formed a blurred face pattern.
The feeling of peeping came from the blurred human face.
This is the benefit of high perception. Although the vague feeling is vague, it cannot be ignored.
Could it be that he hurried over and smelled it? Yes, there was a smell of oak from the pillar, which was an oak pillar.
Merlin is also known as the Oak Wise, because according to legendary records, Merlin was trapped in an oak by his apprentice Vivian. The legend is usually biased, but there should be some reasons.
Moreover, Merlin is a Celtic, and the Celtics are also the birthplace of druid culture. In druid culture, oak trees are very sacred plants. There is a saying that Merlin is a druid wizard himself.
No matter what, just try it out.
Qin Yu thought, cut his fingers and gently applied the blood on the pillar.
Stimulated by the blood, the blurred human face seemed to have just woken up and slowly wriggled. The place where his mouth was slowly cracked a gap, as if the face on the pillar wanted to lick the blood. Between the gap, the cover of an ancient book flashed away. Qin Yu quickly stretched in and stretched in. Before he could withdraw, the gap suddenly closed and bit him straight. Then, the eyes on the blurred human face suddenly opened.
Qin Yu's hand was bitten and suddenly became a little nervous. Although it was only 10% painful, it still hurts. Fortunately, this face didn't swear.
"Who are you?" The face made an old voice.
"I am a scholar, my name is Merlin Preller." Qin Yu said.
"Merlin Prell? Why is it called such a name? Why is it called Merlin?"
"Because I especially admire the ancient wizard Merlin, so"
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect that. Some people remember my name and some people admire me as a loser." The face burst into laughter.
Qin Yu's face suddenly showed a look of surprise: "Are you the legendary Meilin? Oh my God, I am your fan, but why are you here?"
"I am not here, this is just an incarnation of me. I am the spirit of oak trees. Wherever there is an oak tree, there is my existence." The strange face seemed to be very satisfied with Qin Yu's admiration tone.
Qin Yu felt relieved when he saw this. Fortunately, he wisely gave such a name.
This was also an idea, because when I discovered that those NPCs seemed to have IQ. For example, when I learned that he was called Hulk and his second uncle, Iron Man would ask Hulk if he was his relative or something.
Therefore, this time I made such a preparation for naming, but I didn’t expect it to come in handy.
But Meilin didn't know what Qin Yu was thinking and asked, "Do you want to get my magic book?"
Qin Yu shook his head, "I don't know this is your book. I just sensed some kind of call. It seems that fate is pushing me. It seems that a voice is calling me to come here to find it, but if it is really your book and you can get your inheritance, it will be a great honor."
He is so flirting with all his strengths. Although Qin Yu did not add any extra eloquence, this kind of good words made Mei Lin feel a bit sensible.
The key is that Merlin could feel that the reason why the person in front of him came here was indeed driven by a certain force of fate (the game script).
"Well, if you really think so, I can hand over the book to you. This "Book of Merlin" records some of the magic I mastered during my lifetime. Although it was not written by me, it does represent my inheritance. You must swear that if one day you gain enough strength, you must find a way to release me."
"You're really trapped in an oak tree by Vivian?"
"Yes, although it's a bit embarrassing to say it, I was sealed by a powerful spell. Only by using a magical artifact called the Eye of the Ago Motorcycle can I remove it. You must find a way to find it and rescue me."
