599 The nightmare beast in the library (Chapter 5.3)
Link’s first reaction was shock.
even john had obtained one by chance, which was why he had broken through the shackles and been promoted from leader to legend.
Now, just a day after the news was released, the librarian in shadu had sent a letter saying that he could help him. This news came at the right time.
of course, link didn’t think that it was luck. it was clearly because of his great influence. his every move was being watched by countless people. It was also because of his great influence that everyone was willing to help him, and they were proud of it.
Link then looked at the mission.
[ you have triggered the job Mission [ the last trial ], accept/decline ]
[ mission hint: the librarian in Shandu knows about the dream reincarnation stone and has deduced that you want to create a legendary skill. Go to him to understand the situation and complete the final trial. ]
[ mission reward: unknown ]
Although the mission did not state clearly, link had a feeling that he would definitely gain something.
It was already late at night. Link suppressed his excitement and sent a message to penny, telling him to lock down the city library. He had to go there the next morning.
Penny did not waste any time. The library had been bustling with people for the past two days because of the investigation of sarbark and the advanced knowledge. Even though the staff had explained it repeatedly, the players had to go in and verify it themselves. Seeing was believing, and they were afraid of missing any opportunity. it didn’t know what link was going to do, but sealing the place off was easy for it.
Link had just hung up the phone when the macaw rushed into the tent.
the messenger we sent out has returned with news. The spider devil Empire doesn’t have anything like this. He won’t be able to help you this time. The macaw scratched its head helplessly.
Link smiled and waved the letter in his hand. you’re treating me as an outsider by saying this. You’ve already done a great job by promoting the Alliance between the freedom Federation and the spider demon Empire. What’s there to be sorry about? moreover, I already have some clues here. We’ll see the results tomorrow.
the macaw took the letter and looked at it with an excited expression. ” “Tsk, I didn’t expect this old man to have such hidden skills. As soon as he saw you looking for the dream reincarnation stone, he knew that you wanted to create your own skill. I heard you say that you want to seal off the library before I came in. I’ll go with you tomorrow. If you need help, I can help too.”
Link wanted to refuse, but he thought that it would be good to have the macaw with him, so he nodded.
In any case, he felt that even if he didn’t agree, this guy would still follow him.
After receiving Link’s confirmation, the macaw left the tent happily and returned to the desert Ruins to continue its job as the Prime Minister.
The next day.
At dawn, link was awoken by the rustling of footsteps outside the tent. After a while, link packed his things and walked out of the tent. He saw the macaw, who was extremely excited early in the morning. It was the one who had made the noise.
you’re awake? let’s hurry up and go! The macaw was particularly attentive. This kind of scene where one could witness history was its favorite.
Link took the helicopter directly. As he flew over the sand City, he saw an endless stream of people on the streets, as if they were parading in the streets.
After passing through the slums and arriving in the Uptown, Shi Feng passed by a skyscraper. The Plaza in front of the library suddenly came into view. In an instant, he saw countless players tightly packed outside the library. The library had been cordoned off from the stairs, and the players had been informed that it was temporarily closed.
The players and NPCs who were eager to find advanced knowledge and information about sharbach were all standing outside. They looked around curiously or whispered to each other, not knowing what was going on.
When the helicopter slowly landed, some of the players ‘memories were reignited. The expressions on their faces changed from surprise to sudden realization, as if they knew the identity of the person who had come. If it was that person, this kind of display would be very normal.
the helicopter landed on the wide platform in front of the library. the moment link and the macaw alighted, the complaints and protests in the square suddenly stopped. the noisy square fell silent, and everyone stared at link’s back.
“So it’s link. It’s fine then.”
“Link must be here to find information about the class advancement,”
I knew it, ” one of the players said confidently. the library must have news of advanced knowledge. Even link is here. Where should we go to find the clues? ”
Link scanned the square after alighting from the helicopter. It was packed with players. He then headed straight for the library.
In the morning, the library had received an order that link had something to do. jenny had a good relationship with link. she knew that he didn’t like to be ostentatious, so she didn’t arrange for any red tape or staff to welcome him at the door. the best thing to do was to go to work as usual.
When the staff at the door saw link, they suppressed their excitement and greeted link and the macaw.
After entering the library, link went straight to the library area. Not long after, he saw the old librarian cleaning the library area and wiping the public areas.
As a well-learned NPC who had hidden himself well, showing his identity as a librarian in public was a very mysterious thing.
The old man could hear Link’s footsteps even before he reached the warden. He immediately went up to him, his white eyebrows raised and a smile on his face.
the head of state is here. I heard that you want to create a new path and a legendary skill. Are you still looking for the dream reincarnation stone? ”
The librarian’s attitude was much better than before. The smile on his face never disappeared, and his tone was much more respectful.
However, link could understand the change. After all, he was now the number one person on the wasteland. His influence was no longer the same.
“En, there is such a matter. I received your letter yesterday, and you said that you have some clues about the legendary skills and the dream reincarnation stone?” Link asked directly.
The librarian smiled like an expert and even spoke in a mysterious way,”Yes and no.”
The macaw’s wings trembled, and it had unknowingly clenched its fists.
Damn it, he had to pretend!
But before link could speak, the librarian continued,”the dream realm reincarnation stone is actually a type of meteorite from outer space. it has the ability to catalyze dreams and is extremely rare. i’ve only seen some descriptions of it in the ancient books. Thus, I guessed that the head of state might need this item to increase his strength.”
The macaw tutted and muttered, ” there’s no dream realm reincarnation stone. If I had known, I wouldn’t have woken up so early.
The librarian was still smiling, but then he quickly reversed the situation. although the dream reincarnation stone is hard to come by, I know something with a similar effect.
The macaw’s hair stood on end. This old man had a tight grasp on its emotions, damn it!
Link didn’t say anything during the entire process. He just raised his hand and gestured for the librarian to lead the way.
Since the mission had already been issued, it was definitely not that simple. Thus, Lin Ke was not surprised. Only the macaw had foolishly cooperated with the administrator’s performance. It had already been shown off and become a qualified tool bird.
The librarian brought link to a bookshelf against the wall. He pressed the cover of an ancient book, and the sound of gears turning came from the wall. A secret door appeared in front of the bookshelf, revealing a spiral staircase.
The macaw opened its mouth wide and couldn’t help but sigh. damn, a library with a secret door and a secret room. I’m afraid there’s a conspiracy!
The librarian closed the door and explained, ” in addition to normal knowledge, the library also has many precious books and classics that need to be collected. These precious materials are usually not displayed to the public and can only be stored in a storage room at constant temperature and pressure.
The librarian slowly turned around. The light from the spiral staircase shone on half of his face. His originally kind face now looked a little strange under the light and shadow carvings. The macaw’s fur stood on end when it heard what he was about to say.
” of course, other than some precious books that need to be stored separately, there are also some strange books that need special care and some restrictions. ”
...
The macaw pinched Link’s pants and mumbled, ” “Link, why is the atmosphere getting worse?”
As they walked up the spiral staircase, they saw another advanced password-protected door. As the password-protected door opened, the air pressure inside was discharged, and they could see individual sealed glass rooms. Each room was like a Museum with a single display stand. There were books inside, and on the glass door, there was a precise temperature and humidity control device.
The macaw couldn’t help but open its mouth wide. With such equipment and environment, it thought it had come to a Museum and seen the treasure of the museum.
The librarian said as they walked,”since the establishment of the city library, there have been many ancient books here.” There’s a living book among them that has a similar effect to the dream reincarnation stone. I think it might meet the head of state’s requirements.”
After saying that, the librarian stopped at the door of a sealed glass room. After keying in the password, the glass door slowly opened.
Link was surprised to find such a magical book in the wasteland.
The macaw at the side was even more curious. What? a living book? was that still considered a thing?
Following the librarian into the glass Room, link and the macaw saw the ” living book ” the elder had mentioned.
It was a book with a brownish-black cover. The cover looked like the thick skin of some unknown creature, and the cover was made of pure silver. After that, all kinds of framing were pressed on the cover, making the book look Holy and strange at the same time. In the middle of the frame, the title of the book was written in a strange font-Book of Dreams.
The book was more than ten centimeters thick and gave off a heavy feeling. The strangest thing was that there were four chains made of pure silver on the four corners of the cover. They were tightly connected to the base of the book. There were many runes carved on the chains too. Link could tell at a glance that this was the language of the Temple of the Cross Army, specially used to suppress evil.
As soon as the librarian approached, the cover of the book seemed to sense something. The edge of the cover, which looked neat at first, began to extend, growing many things that looked like catfish tentacles and jagged teeth. The top and bottom covers wrapped around each other like a closed mouth.
...
“damn old man, what evil tricks are you up to this time?” The book’s cover opened and closed, and it began to speak. The dark brown tentacles wriggled up and down, making one’s hair stand on end.
The macaw quickly hid behind link and only poked its head out. Goosebumps rose all over its body.
‘Good Lord, this book can even speak. From the side, the entire book looks like a bloody mouth.’
Even link was shocked. This little thing looked unique!
The dream book began to struggle and twist, and the four chains at the corners of the book moved, making clanking sounds. The temple language on the chains was activated, and a Holy energy spread to the cover of the book to suppress the evil.
The Book of Dreams, which had been full of confidence just a moment ago, was now on the verge of death. Its mouth was wide open, gasping for breath.
The librarian turned around and explained, ” head of state, the effect of this Book of Dreams is similar to the dream reincarnation stone. It can create a dream space inside. The more detailed you write in the book, the more real the space in the dream will be. Furthermore, time passed extremely slowly in the book. It might feel like a few days had passed inside, but only a few hours had passed outside. I used to use this book to learn a lot of knowledge, and that’s how I became a scholar.”
Link studied the book carefully. He didn’t expect the wasteland to have something like this. However, after the administrator explained its effects, his rich gaming experience reminded him of a certain creature. He observed the seal in front of him and asked, this book is made from the skin of a dream devil beast, right? it seems that the soul of a dream devil beast is also sealed in it.
The librarian didn’t say anything. Even if he was a scholar, he didn’t know what a dream devil beast was.
On the other hand, the ‘dying’ Book of Dreams suddenly came to life after hearing this. It said in surprise, ” Oh, so you know about the dream devil beast. It seems that you’re not ordinary!
These words undoubtedly confirmed his identity as a dream devil beast.
Link knew about this. He had once completed a mission related to the nightmare beast.
actually, the dream devil beast was a low-class race in the universe, and its main ability was telepathy. The most powerful among them, the dark night, had even caused a disaster in the mowall star system. A terrifying monster that could drag half a planet’s creatures into a dream was finally completely annihilated by the combined forces of the star system. Even now, its remains still had powerful soul power, forming a bone ruin in the universe. It was a terrifying sight.
As they were afraid that a powerful monster like the dark night would appear on the planet where the nightmare beast was located, the mowall star system decided to take precautions before it happened. Thus, the planet where the nightmare beast was located was occupied. This creature that could build dreams through telepathy was also listed as a ‘dangerous creature’ and was divided up for research by various civilizations.
link had once been an interstellar mercenary and had been involved in the transportation of nightmare beasts. he had some understanding of these things through the npcs.
The dream devil beast in front of him had probably been turned into a book by some researcher, and it still retained its soul and Dreamland abilities.
If that was the case, then this dream devil beast could really be useful!
