"Two chapters in one!" 》
The old dean pondered for a long time, and then said in a slightly desolate tone: "No one is born a librarian, but some people make us believe that we are librarians in heaven."
This sentence was a bit difficult to pronounce, but Ye Zhongming still understood it a little bit.
Although I don't know the specific things, I think it is the scribes who must have known some secrets of the past, and then developed strong resentment and hatred towards certain people or certain races, or even all races in the universe.
"If I have the chance, I will talk to you in detail. Talking too much now will only add too much pressure to you."
Ye Zhongming nodded. Since a master like the old dean couldn't do anything for the time being, he must be helpless.
"What do you need me to do?"
Although the old dean mentioned some of the advantages of the Library Palace, he has not actually said anything specific, such as how they can help Ye Zhongming and the others. But before figuring this out, Ye Zhongming must first know what he needs to do for the Library Palace. .
It's not that he doesn't trust the kind old dean, it's that he doesn't dare to trust him. No one knows what is in other people's hearts.
Now he cannot make any deviation in any step among all races in the universe, otherwise, given his level of weakness, he will inevitably end up dead without a whole body.
He is Ye Zhongming, but he is not the almost invincible existence on earth.
"It's actually very simple. Help us break the constraints."
The old dean looked at Ye Zhongming and said: "There are two reasons why we must spend our lives in this library palace."
"The first one is the oath made by our ancestors back then, using something on the roulette wheel. If you violate it, you will suffer the most painful torture in the world and die."
"We can't leave Xingzhao City. No, we can't leave within a certain range of the Library Palace. We can't even go to the edge of Xingzhao City."
Ye Zhongming opened his mouth but stopped talking.
Knowing what Ye Zhongming wanted to say, the old dean explained directly: "We have tried it before, even every few decades, we have to find someone who is willing to sacrifice his life. This contract will always exist. As long as you become a librarian , the contract will come to you."
It takes decades to find someone to challenge the contract. You may know that you will die, but you have to try. This feeling is really uncomfortable.
It won’t work if you don’t try. What if the contract is loosened one day?
Ye Zhongming had to admire those librarians who "tested the law".
"The second one is that every selected librarian will be injected with a kind of 'Tianxu' spiritual toxin before entering the library palace, which directly acts on the original power and is extremely difficult to remove. Once we don't abide by the rules, Then the three major camps will activate this poison and control our life and death."
The librarian's rule is that once the previous generation dies, a newborn baby can be chosen to replace it. How does this young orphan choose? Didn’t all the races in the universe provide a category for librarians to choose from?
These selected orphans will be injected with this silk foc toxin early.
Over the years, the librarians have gone through many changes, and now, all of them have this toxin in their bodies.
Ye Zhongming listened and couldn't help but have an idea that he didn't quite understand.
Why do all the races in the universe control the scribes in the library palace like this? It feels like he is guarding against something.
But these librarians, who are not very good in terms of number or influence, what is it that deserves all the races in the universe to be so vigilant?
Their personal strength? Yes, they are strong, but they are not invincible, right? A super rich clan should be much stronger than them, right?
"You are so powerful, can't you get rid of this toxin?"
Ye Zhongming looked at the old dean and asked. According to what the old man said, he should be one of the most powerful people among all the races in the universe. So, an existence of this level is also responsible for the toxins lurking in the body. No way?
The old dean shook his head, "Because this toxin is injected when life is very young, it goes very deep. As life grows, it will gradually merge with the body. By the time you have the strength to remove the toxin, this kind of thing has become It’s part of the body and it’s everywhere, so how can we get rid of it?”
"Even if I have used it for many years and found many methods, I can only reduce the toxicity, but cannot completely eliminate it. The effect is probably that once an attack occurs, I may become a fool, and others will die. This is the difference .”
Ye Zhongming couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, this kind of poison is really too vicious.
"What about external forces?" Since it cannot be solved by oneself, is there no antidote, whether it is roulette technology or the technology of all races in the universe?
"That's one of the things I need you to do."
The old dean casually clicked on his terminal a few times, and then a light curtain appeared next to it, with the names of many drugs and various raw materials densely listed on it.
"If we want to get out of here, we have to solve these two constraints that restrict us. The first one needs to be found on the roulette wheel. It should be very precious. It is called the 'Advanced Oath Release Scroll'. I don't know if you have heard of it. ?”
Ye Zhongming recalled carefully that on earth, all roulette wheels that can be found in Genting will have their locations and rewards recorded. What Ye Zhongming remembers are the items on the eighth and ninth level roulette wheels. He is very sure, at least for now. There was no such thing on the roulette wheel he knew.
Seeing Ye Zhongming shaking his head, the old dean was very disappointed, but this expression only lasted for a second before he put it away.
Roulette is a huge and complete system. Although Ye Zhongming has never seen this kind of 'advanced oath-breaking scroll', it does not mean that it does not exist elsewhere. Since the old dean has known that such a thing does exist after a long time, there is Chances of finding them.
What the librarians lack is just someone who can help them find it.
Ye Zhongming is undoubtedly this candidate.
"As for the Tianxu toxin, after thousands of years of research, we have finally cracked it. The nameless potion you see on the top of the light curtain is the final answer. We call it...freedom."
Ye Zhongming was a little dizzy looking at the recipe with hundreds of ingredients alone. At the same time, he could no longer hide his admiration for the librarians.
For the old dean to be so sure, there is no doubt that the librarians believe that the final antidote formula is effective. But they can't refine medicine because all the races in the universe will not provide them with materials and tools. Except for the librarian, the other staff here must be the eyes of all races in the universe.
So in order to ensure that the final antidote is effective, they must have a sufficient understanding of the toxins in the body, and deduce it bit by bit from low-level to high-level, ensuring that every step is correct, so that the final antidote can be will be correct.
Ye Zhongming was in awe of what was involved in this.
Maybe they have dissected their own bodies countless times. Maybe they have spent thousands of years relying on the theoretical knowledge in books to deduce and research out of thin air. Perhaps, in order to ensure the effect, they repeated and re-researched countless times to recycle the above.
What kind of perseverance and persistence is this!
Anyway, Ye Zhongming felt that if it were him, he shouldn't be able to do this.
"We need someone to help us create this antidote." The old dean murmured as he looked at the librarian's countless years of hard work on the light screen.
Ye Zhongming knew that what he saw was the ultimate secret of the librarian, and he also knew that he was 'that person' chosen by others.
"Old Dean, you know, making this kind of antidote that has not yet been officially released..."
The old dean nodded before Ye Zhongming finished speaking, and said: "I know, I know that children, even if there is a formula, it is not something that can be achieved overnight, because from finding materials, to training specialized alchemists, to continuous practice to improve Refining efficiency requires a lot of practice and a lot of time."
"Even if, if, our research is wrong...someone needs to tell us where we are wrong."
The two people fell silent for a while. The old dean wanted to savor the process and the sadness of possible failure, while Ye Zhongming understood the sadness that could bend a person's waist.
"Son, the reason why we have identified you as our partner is, on the one hand, because of your outstanding performance. After all, the better the partner, the greater our hope of getting out of trouble, and you are very, very good in every aspect. It meets our expectations, especially after you won the first place among the novices, it gave us the feeling that you were sent to us by the greatest god in the universe."
The old dean smiled and got rid of his previous emotions. In his eyes, something called hope surged.
The librarian's desire to gain freedom is a one-time gamble that can only succeed but cannot fail. The person sitting next to the gambling table for them must be as good as possible.
"On the other hand, you have a home planet."
These words made Ye Zhongming stunned.
"The novices who take first place every year are actually agents of rich and super-rich clans. Naturally, I can't find them. That would be directly exposing the matter to those people. The remaining people who can occasionally win the first place, but They are basically commissioned warriors, and they also do not meet my requirements, because I will not allow the medicine that can release our bonds to be refined on the survivor fortress, otherwise the chance of exposure will be greatly increased, and we cannot afford to lose."
The old dean explained to Ye Zhongming.
"Also, there is no roulette wheel on the Survivor Fortress, so naturally there is no high-level oath-breaking scroll. I don't know where to find it, so you need to go to your home planet to find it."
This is why the appearance of Ye Zhongming makes the old dean so excited, because it really meets the requirements of the librarians in all aspects.
Under the premise of being excellent, possessing a very high status on the home planet, and having a common goal with the librarian to some extent, where else can one find a more suitable candidate than Ye Zhongming?
That's why the old dean couldn't wait to see Ye Zhongming on the first day he arrived, and revealed the librarian's purpose and trump cards.
He didn't want to wait any longer. He was afraid that he would miss Ye Zhongming and have to wait for countless years. He was afraid that he and other librarians would collapse in the waiting.
Naturally, he also has this confidence. He now believes that the conditions offered by the Library Palace to Ye Zhongming can completely impress him, and at the same time, he can control Ye Zhongming's life and death within at least five days. Once he finds out that he has any other thoughts, he will create a conspiracy. An accident caused Ye Zhongming to die.
Of course, because the old dean guessed the ideals of Ye Zhongming, Jie Supaobai and others, the chance of persuading Ye Zhongming is actually very high.
Not only do the two sides have no conflict, they are also natural allies.
"Old man, to be honest, I am very willing to help you, but I can't give you any guarantee, because the two things you ask for, no matter which one they are, may take a long time. If I There is no high-level oath-breaking scroll on my home planet, so I have to go to other planets to find it. The prerequisite is that I must be strong enough to do this. There is also refining the antidote. As you know, this may require re-cultivating a talent. Being a good and trustworthy alchemist is not something that can be achieved overnight."
Ye Zhongming said this not to take advantage of the opportunity to ask for a price, but because he really thought so.
Yunding Villa basically has the information about the high-level roulette in the country, but has not found the high-level oath-breaking scroll. It is very likely that the roulette on earth does not have this thing, and it needs to go to other planets controlled by slaves to find it.
It is not easy to enter those planets, or to train agents on those planets to search for them. Just being qualified to go to that planet or being qualified to find an agent may take a long, long time, let alone searching. It's time.
Refining medicine is more difficult. It cannot be found among all the races in the universe. It can only be found on Ye Zhongming's home planet, which is the earth. All kinds of materials need to be found. It is estimated that most of them are not owned by the earth and need to go through the agent system. Transporting it, plus the fact that it is impossible to directly refine the 'free' antidote, it needs to be refined from the bottom up, and it even requires continuous efficacy testing, etc. If you think about it, it cannot be completed in a short time.
What worries Ye Zhongming even more is that the time is not certain at all. Once the two parties cooperate, the uncertainty caused by the long time is also a problem that has to be faced.
"Don't worry, I know all this." The old dean stood up and looked at the familiar plants and trees outside that even with his eyes closed, he knew their appearance. He said slowly: "We have been waiting for so many years. We really can't. I don’t mind waiting a little longer, as long as..."
"Not in despair."
The old dean walked out and said as he walked: "The Library Palace will permanently open S-level permissions to you, and your reading time will also become ten days. Externally, it will be said that you purchased another five days of reading. Not only can you read it, you can always ask someone if you don’t understand anything, and a librarian will immediately answer your questions.”
When they arrived at the door, the old dean suddenly turned back to Ye Zhongming and said, "By the way, there is one more thing that I think is also important to you."
"The library palace... is very rich."
