Chapter 62 Is the archaeological world about to change?
There were no ancient books in the library as expected, and even the walls and ceiling were nowhere to be found.
"Wow..." Rose exclaimed, looking around.
From the void before him, Fang Qi saw countless shimmering ribbons of light descending from the void and flowing upwards, intertwining to form spiraling staircases.
The most recent staircase reads:
"Apero General Encyclopedia - Monster Edition (Damaged)"
Looking up, he indeed found several huge gaps.
"This decorating style actually matches my new skin quite well."
Fang Qi made a sarcastic remark, then turned his gaze to the distance. After passing through a bunch of words like "walls," "material: No. 1 alloy," and "attribute: sturdy," he saw a huge mechanical eyeball floating on the platform.
Not far from the core area, several familiar figures were fleeing in a disheveled state.
"Look who's that?" Fang Qi asked with a smile.
Loxi squinted and made out the people spinning in place in the distance:
"Professor Seth? What are they doing fighting...fighting with a bunch of blocks?"
In Fang Qi's view, those things chasing Seth had a line of conspicuous red text above their heads:
"Fantasy Library Cleaner"
Status: Trash removal in progress.
"Let's go," he said, ignoring the navigation, finding a gap in the outermost layer of text on the wall and squeezing through it. "Let's get our professor out of the junkyard."
"Take them to see the 'players' next." He shifted his gaze to the other side, to the player who, despite being of a much lower level, was able to hold his own against the cleaner.
The monsters in this dungeon are all based on mechanics, so he needs to think carefully about how to play them.
……
"We're running low on magic!" the middle-aged male instructor said urgently. "The magic brooms here seem to be inexhaustible!"
"Summon, Crimson Dragon, Azure Dragon!" Seth pulled two palm-sized stone slabs from his trench coat, infused them with magic, and the patterns on the slabs lit up.
Two elemental creatures, one red and one blue, beginning to resemble dragons, protected the three of them behind them.
"Dragon's Might Strike!"
Magical power condensed in the mouths of the two dragons, and their red and blue breaths merged into one, sending a dazzling white light soaring into the sky.
The brooms blocking the way turned to ashes in an instant.
"That concludes today's investigation. Let's break through with all our might!"
Seth took the lead and charged toward the exit, with the other two mentors close behind.
"Magic" "Attribute: Ice" "Attribute: Fire" "Status: Stacking Burst"
Fang Qi could see a bunch of text flying high in the air from afar, as if Seth was unleashing a powerful attack. Judging from the number of texts, it was incredibly fierce.
But the cleaners of the Fantasy Library were no pushovers either; the blocks immediately combined and unleashed a "Magic Cannon" with the attribute of "Absorption".
He quickly neutralized the powerful attack and chased after the three.
As you chase after it, a message pops up: "Calling for backup. Please keep your trash out of reach and put it in the recycling bin promptly."
"They caught up so quickly?" Seth heard the noise behind him. "Stay close to me!"
He pulled out another stone tablet: "Summon, Wind Dragon, Lightness Spell!"
The Lightness Spell is a low-level spell, but it is enhanced by the user's strength, and its effect is surprisingly good, increasing the speed of the three people by 20% out of nowhere.
But the broom army seemed to be under command, and they started to divide into groups and encircle each other.
The three men clearly wanted to retreat, but they were forced deeper and deeper into the encirclement by the tactic of surrounding three sides while leaving one open.
"Professor Seth, you're out of magic!" The magical light in the middle-aged man's hand dimmed, and the shield he had been maintaining shattered.
"Clean up the trash."
The broom army immediately found a breakthrough and launched more than ten magic bullets at him.
The middle-aged man's face showed despair, and his hands instantly lost all strength.
They were just a bunch of brooms, so why could every spell find their weakness? He didn't understand.
The situation was critical, and the golden stone tablet at Seth's waist burst forth with a dazzling light:
"Using my strongest dragon here is not an insult to you!"
Just as he was about to use his trump card, two grappling hooks suddenly extended from the metal wall, one on the left and one on the right, pulling his two companions inside.
The magic bullet lost its target and hit the wall with a "poof," turning into wisps of blue smoke.
"What?" Seth paused in surprise as he used the summoning magic.
He had tried attacking the wall; it was exceptionally hard and seemed to have the property of absorbing magic power, leaving it completely unharmed no matter what attack he made.
Who would have thought that two claws would suddenly emerge from inside?
"Warning: The Fantasy Library has gone out of control. Please follow the Divine Stele to the safe zone." A cold, mechanical voice came from inside the wall.
"The Fantasy Library, the Divine Stele," Seth frowned, "not the Court of Fate?"
"What time is it and you're still thinking about your cringey naming?" Fang Qi was speechless, but since he was impersonating Apero's advanced smart terminal, he couldn't show his emotions, so he had to extend his grappling hook and repeat it again.
This grappling hook isn't high-tech, and there's no technical description for it. It's just ordinary sheet metal that's been dyed, used to catch buyers who skip out on their orders.
He can walk through walls because, in his eyes, the walls are simply lines of text with gaps.
"Since you've invited me so sincerely, I can't very well refuse."
As the broom army drew ever closer, Seth, unwilling to waste a use of his strongest dragon ability, reached out and grabbed the grappling hook: "Let's go."
"Sheet metal?" His eyes widened. "What a back-to-basics material! Is this the 'pragmatism' of the Dragon Kingdom?"
Fang Qi paused for a moment, did not answer, manipulated the grappling hook to retract, and squeezed through the wall of text with Seth.
After confirming that his two companions were unharmed, Sai Te nodded before turning his gaze to Fang Qi, who was standing to the side.
His eyes suddenly lit up, seemingly surprised by the beauty of the stele's design.
Before the other party could speak, Fang Qi preemptively struck with an emotionless, mechanical voice:
"Note: I am the Apero management terminal. You may call me the Divine Stele. We have not yet reached the safe zone. In approximately 3 minutes and 28 seconds, the intelligent entities will surround this area. Please move with me immediately."
He drifted forward on his own, deliberately slowing down his movement to wait for the three to catch up.
Without a second thought, Seth followed closely behind, and the other two exchanged a glance and started walking as well.
Seeing that all the targets had followed, Fang Qi changed direction and squeezed into the gaps in the wall of text.
In the eyes of Seth and his companions, as the divine monument moved, the originally indestructible wall spontaneously opened a silver-white portal...
This is clearly a sign of extremely high privileges!
Their only doubts were dispelled, and they followed the stele through several walls to an open area.
"Note: This is a safe area. An explanation is being generated. Please wait."
Fang Qi went from moving to stillness, stopping abruptly without any warning.
A blue aperture scanned the area, and a silver-white physical scroll appeared out of thin air.
This "silent void creation" made the two mentors' eyelids twitch.
As is widely known, there is a rule in the archaeological community:
The more advanced the ancient magical technology used to create something, the higher the mana consumption; the higher the mana consumption, the greater the disturbance...
They had never seen such tranquility, or even magical technology capable of creating things out of thin air.
In contrast, that Metra creation machine outside only makes things clang and clatter...
Never mind, it's impolite to say anything more.
Following the alchemy world, is the archaeology world about to undergo a major transformation?
