Lu Xi didn't know how to speak for a moment.
As the person being protected, it seemed that whatever she said was a little... inappropriate.
It's like the elation of those who have benefited, and it's like the false pity of those who are superior.
"I remember it was here..." After a moment of silence, Lu Xi turned around on his own initiative, easing the silence that he didn't know how to continue.
"What are you looking for? Miss Lucy." Xiuge also cooperated and continued.
"Records, some records about... element contracts." When Lu Xi first learned about this library, he borrowed many books out of curiosity about the world.
Although most of them are used as bedtime stories at night, and they don’t usually read too much, Lu Xi’s reading volume has gradually increased after such a long time.
Books about elemental warriors and elemental mages are what Lu Xi prefers to read. After all, who hasn’t imagined gaining magical power, becoming a Sailor Moon, learning magic, or receiving an admission notice from a certain college when they were young? Where are the books?
Although Lu Xi already knew that because of his cheating golden finger, he had no hope of becoming an elemental warrior or elemental mage.
But you still need to understand what you need to know. After all, if you live in this world, you will experience dangers if you don't have enough protection. The more you understand, the more protection you will get.
The library in Lingxu Farm collects many books that are not available in the outside world. This is what Lu Xi discovered after visiting the town of Muhatta.
Compared with the books circulated to the outside world, the books in the Lingxuan Farm Library are more like the original, unmodified ones, which record more things and have not been modified or concealed.
After discovering this incident, Lu Xi prefers to read in the library, because she can often see some gossip and private things that the outside world cannot see, and this matter is only known to her and a very few people. This brings She has a very strong sense of reading.
After all, there is no Internet in this world that allows her to play games online, so there is no way to watch those very numb melon-eating sticks - this is one of the great pleasures of melon-eating people.
I can only make up for the fun of eating melons in a different world by reading these books.
Lu Xi remembered that he had seen records about elemental contracts in some books, and when he was about to rummage through them, he found a whole set of dozens of books.
It’s not clear how the author did his research and where he got the data, but he or his elders or family? It seems that it has been tracking the elemental contracts of the four elemental kingdoms.
These dozens of books record the traces of the circulation of most elemental contracts from the beginning of the establishment of the four elemental kingdoms to the present.
For example, the first four element contracts were managed by who, when did things go wrong, by whose hands they happened, and what was the reason.
The four elemental contracts had flowed into the hands of which noble, and that nobleman had obtained several rubbings of the elemental contracts, etc. It was extremely detailed, so detailed that in order to explain the root cause, a lot of secret information was written on it, Lu Xi That's why she read these books, otherwise she wouldn't be interested in knowing whose house the elemental contract went to.
Of course, the above records are not complete, but those ambiguous places are also marked. For example, from XX to XX, a certain element contract was lost. It is not clear who has passed through the hands during this period. There are only guesses.
Most of the records are relatively detailed, perhaps because it is difficult to hide the changes in these nobles from too many people. After all, obtaining an elemental contract requires exchanging it for benefits.
There is even a record of the elemental contract currently owned by the Porberstein family. Lu Xi thinks the author is even more powerful.
However, this set of books is not in circulation. It is likely that it is only a private collection and is only passed down within the family.
The reason Lu Xi found this set of books was because she was thinking that since Xiuge was unwilling to leave her to be promoted to a high-level elemental warrior, could she accompany Xiuge there?
Of course, if the Porstein family followed the path, Lu Xi would definitely not be able to follow it, because the elemental contract could not be publicized on a large scale. It was a relatively private transaction between the two families.
Even for Lu Xi, it would be difficult for him to force his way in.
But Lu Xi doesn't have to follow the path of the Porbelstein family. As long as she can find the records of the corresponding noble families in the books and know which families have "high-level elemental contracts with wind attributes", she can then find a way to contact them and carry out the contract. That’s the deal.
As for the price of the transaction, Lu Xi is not worried about it at all.
She has a killer weapon like "Ice Dragon Scale" in her hand, and it is impossible for anyone to refuse.
In terms of monetary value, ice dragon scales have not yet bankrupted the families of the great nobles, but you must know that ice dragon scales are already one of the top materials in the world.
No matter how much money you have, you can't buy it. And which noble family doesn't need a powerful elemental warrior or elemental mage to protect it?
The armor made of ice dragon scales is enough to greatly increase the combat effectiveness of an elemental warrior, and it is also enough for the elemental mage to deploy a more powerful elemental array.
It's impossible for them to go to a powerful dragon and buy its dragon scales, unless they also have Lu Xi's talented cooking skills that have been blessed by God.
Therefore, Lu Xi is confident enough that his transaction request will not be rejected.
Lu Xi received a lot of ice dragon scales from the ice dragon. Originally, Lu Xi had thought about giving some of the ice dragon scales to the Poperstein family as a gift in return for her help.
After all, the Poperstein family had done so many things for her, including giving away people and things. Lu Xi would definitely feel embarrassed and deserved it. It was rare that she had the conditions to repay her, and she would definitely want to do something. What.
But he was rejected by Lord Danoy. It seems that in the minds of the Porberstein family, gaining Lu Xi's favor and gratitude is a more important thing, but the actual benefits are not that important.
In other words, compared to the huge benefits that can be obtained with the naked eye like the ice dragon scales, they chose to continue to maintain the invisible and intangible human relationship with Lu Xi. Maybe it is more important to be serious?
Although Lu Xi didn't understand what the people of the Popstein family were thinking, she acquiesced. She couldn't send it by force. However, in private, Lu Xi still prepared some ice dragon scales to keep. To the Pawstein family.
After all, no one would refuse a piece of ice dragon scale, Lu Xi thought.
If one ice dragon scale doesn't do it, give them two.
However, Lu Xi did not tell Xiuge in detail because she was not sure whether she could find a suitable choice. The distance between the four elemental kingdoms was very far.
If the relatively nearby kingdom was okay, but if the distance was too far, there was no guarantee that Lu Xi would really be able to go there with Xiuge.
Although with the on-hook system, Lu Xi could leave Lingbo Farm for a long time, but leaving Lingbo Farm for too long was not a good thing after all. Lu Xi subconsciously felt that leaving Lingbo Farm for too long was not a good choice.
In addition to this set of books, there are many books about elemental contracts. Lu Xi also took out all of them to make it easier to check and fill in the gaps. Most of the books are as thick as modern word dictionaries, and they are like moving bricks.
Shuge hurriedly came over to help, flipping through the books while moving them.
Lu Xi came to the library originally to find a plant illustration. He did find a lot of books and piled them on the table. After moving out the new books, the space was not enough.
Also afraid that the two books would be mixed together and difficult to find again, Xiuge pushed aside all the books on plants that he had originally found.
However, there were still too many books on the table. Xiuge didn't pay attention. Among the newly moved books about the element contract records, the top ones fell to the ground.
Lu Xi was nearby and helped him pick it up. As Lu Xi picked it up, a few cards that were only about the size of his palm suddenly fell out of one of the books.
The card is thin but tough, like plastic or cardboard.
Lu Xi glanced at it and couldn't help but have a puzzled expression on his face, because these four hard cards seemed to have some kind of elemental magic circle drawn on them. They were very delicate and small. He didn't know who was interested in them.
Then he picked up the book with the hard card and took a look at it, "The Origin of the Four Elements Contract".
What a big name, Lu Xi thought subconsciously, and then realized that this book is a bit too thin. Compared with those books like dictionaries, this one often only has twenty or thirty pages, which may not be enough.
When Xiuge saw Lu Xi picking up the books, he ignored them and continued to follow Miss Lu Xi's instructions to find the contents in the books.
Lu Xi couldn't help but open the book and read it. The content of this book was about the true origin of the elemental contract, not the tracing of the changes in the elemental contract.
In other words, this book does not record the changes in the elemental contract over the years, and the contents of such a few pages cannot be remembered at all.
It's about the earliest elemental contract records.
As soon as Lu Xi started reading, he couldn't help but be stunned, because at the beginning, the book mentioned a very straightforward sentence, "God has blessed mankind, but human beings are despicable and become greedy because of God's blessing."
Looking further down, the content is even more unexpected. Compared with other related descriptions and records, which describe the greatness of the founders of the four elemental kingdoms, this book clearly describes the four "great kings" "The story of competing for the element contract.
It can also be called a record.
Lu Xi had always seen that no matter what book records were in them, the four founders of the Elemental Kingdom were mentioned in a relatively friendly atmosphere, and they were even described as "best friends".
It is said that they were recognized by different elemental contracts, and then established four kingdoms respectively.
However, the few sentences in this book record that they were not close friends, and were even just strangers at first... Of course, they must have gotten to know each other later and developed a friendship.
The book narrated in a plain tone that the relationship between the four people was not complicated or excessive. Some people wanted to obtain all the ownership of the four element contracts, but no one could give up easily.
There were stalemates, quarrels, and battles. In the end, everyone took a step back. They chose to separate and established their own kingdoms in different places, eventually forming what the human world looks like today.
Lu Xi thought about it seriously and unexpectedly discovered that the content in this book was actually the most consistent with normal real-life development - because if the relationship between these four people is really good, or if they have enough friendship, then They can work together to create a four-element empire.
Instead of spreading out and establishing four kingdoms, those in their kingdoms can only sign elemental contracts with corresponding attributes.
This was really unreasonable, but it was recorded this way in most books, and Lu Xi was not from this world, so she had no choice but to believe it.
It wasn't until Lu Xi read this book that she discovered that history may have a more realistic story. She is not a conspiratorial person, but looking at the appearance of the world, it is obvious that the fairy tale-like beauty unfolds , not quite true.
Of course, because the founders of these four elemental kingdoms are not inseparable partnerships, it is normal if there are any conflicts and disagreements.
Lu Xi was used to reading quickly, so it didn't take long to read the entire book. It was mainly the way he stopped to think that caught Xiuge's attention.
Shuge has been overly worried about Miss Lucy recently, fearing that something might happen to Miss Lucy again, and Lu Xi's unusual behavior at this time obviously aroused Shuge's curiosity.
Xiuge put down the book in his hand and came closer. He first saw a few hard cards that Lu Xi had just casually placed on the table. He picked them up and took a look at them.
"Miss Lucy, what is this?" Xiuge looked surprised and hesitated for a long time before asking.
Lu Xi came back to his senses from the contents of the book and glanced at the hard cards with what seemed to be elemental array patterns as he spoke.
Before he could answer, he heard Xiuge struggling and continued, "Is this an elemental contract? Miss Lucy."
Lu Xi was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously asked, "What?"
Xiuge looked unsure and looked at it a few more times before hesitantly said, "Miss Lucy, this seems to be an elemental contract. The elemental contracts I have seen before look like this...with slight differences. "
Lu Xi didn't pay much attention and casually said, "After all, this is a book about the origin of elements. There are a few drawing cards about elemental contracts in it, which seems normal."
After all, she had never seen anyone record an elemental contract on such a simple and compact card.
