Chapter 298 Librarian Half-Elf, Jane!

Chapter 298 Librarian—Half-elf, Jane!

"The Federal Library?"

Hearing the name, Xia En suddenly became interested: "Is there such a place on [Liu Li Island]?"

Daisy nodded, her tone full of pride: "Of course, this is [Liu Li Island]!"

"The Great Library of the Federation is said to have been created by the Chief of the Federation, Wayne Moriarty."

"It contains many documents before and after the Great Flood. The earliest ancient books can even be traced back thousands of years before the Great Flood!"

"It can be said that the Federal Grand Library is the largest, largest collection of books and the best-preserved library in the Federation."

"The answer you want can only be found in the Great Library."

Shane murmured to himself: "Wayne Moriarty..."

Of course he didn't forget the name.

Back then, on the "Giant Island" in the "Misty Sea", there was an "Ember Treasure".

Xia En had seen the message from the federal chief and the [Judgment] sword intention left on the rock wall.

In fact, both of them provided great help to Shane at that time.

Especially the sword intent on the rock wall made Xia En understand the skill of [Sword of Judgment], which became his trump card for a period of time.

Although after reading Wayne Moriarty's message, the ghost lady Vivian still carried the crystal coffin to Shane's ship.

But that is force majeure.

Shane himself still feels some gratitude to Wayne.

So, he couldn't help but asked curiously: "Federal Chief, are you still alive now?"

"You can just ask me this."

Daisy said frankly: "I'm just a soldier in the federal navy. How do I know whether such a legendary big shot is dead or alive?"

"However, in the past few years, there has indeed been no news of the Federation Chief appearing on the Seven Seas."

"Perhaps the old man deliberately kept his name anonymous and wanted to live a peaceful life?"

Shane agrees.

Afterwards, Shane asked the other crew members to stay in Carles's manor to rest, while he followed Daisy towards the Federation Library.

On the way, Daisy did not forget to remind her.

"By the way, if you have ancient documents unearthed from underwater ruins or other places, you can exchange them for federal merit in the Great Library."

"Achievements?"

Hearing this unfamiliar name, Xia En was a little curious: "What is that?"

Daisy explained: "You can think of it as a special currency of the federation. It can be exchanged for some good things that money cannot buy from the federation's treasury. It can only be obtained from several special channels."

"On [Liu Li Island] or other core islands of the Federation, merit is much more useful than Golden Dragon Coins."

"Of course, meritorious deeds can also be exchanged for gold dragon coins, but it is difficult to buy meritorious deeds with golden dragon coins."

After hearing what she said, Xia En understood immediately.

This is something like "contribution points" and "points".

It can not only reduce the expenditure of gold dragon coins, but also encourage the federal navy and civilians to serve the federation.

"It is said that the superiors also plan to reward the meritorious service for this rescue operation to [Lenglie Sea]."

Daisy said: "No matter what your background is, whether you are a pirate or a navy, as long as you make a contribution in this operation, you can get rich merits."

After hearing these words, Xia En couldn't help but sigh with emotion at the courage of the federal officials.

The scale and scope of this operation can be said to be the first since the establishment of the Federation.

The amount of merit that needs to be paid is naturally huge. Even with the financial resources of the Federation, it will probably cost a lot of money.

But then I thought about it.

If they really failed to prevent the second world-destroying flood, no matter how many achievements they made and how many secret treasures they had, it would be meaningless.

It's better to use this as a reward to encourage people to give it a try.

Xia En was also somewhat interested in the Federation's treasure house, so he asked: "Besides ancient books, what else can be exchanged for Federation merit?"

"Let me think about it..."

Daisy held her chin and thought: "It seems that seeds, embryos of ancient organisms, or some new species that have never been recorded can be exchanged for federal merit."

"Seeds or embryos of ancient creatures?"

Xia En was stunned. He immediately thought of the [Ember Treasure] buried in [Coral City].

Although the treasure had been destroyed by ignorant outsiders, it still contained many pre-Flood seeds.

If they are handed over to the Federation, not only can they receive a lot of merit, but they can also allow these seeds to play their true role, bloom and bear fruit again in this new era, and complete the continuation of the species.

It's a pity.

Xia En did not leave the [Submarine Anchor Point] in [Coral City]. Considering the distance between that ruins and [Liu Li Island], it would obviously be a waste of time to go there in person.

He could only put the matter aside for the time being.

As for the "new species that have never been recorded" that Daisy said, it reminded Shane of--

【Rhine Secret Realm! 】

From Xia En's exploration in the [Rhine Secret Realm], it is basically certain that before their arrival, this [Secret Realm] had no connection with the Seven Seas World.

The only "portal" and "bridge" between the two sides is the [Empty Beast Heart Seal] in Xia En's heart.

That is to say.

The creatures in [Rhine Secret Realm] are all new species that are completely unfamiliar to [Seven Seas World].

Thinking about it, he should be able to get a lot of merit in exchange.

The only drawback is that this is likely to expose the information that Shane alone has a [secret realm].

However, Shane still trusts the credibility of the Seven Seas Federation.

Take this call for action as an example.

Many pirate ships did not dare to approach the islands of the Federation, fearing that this was a trap and they would be destroyed.

But soon, the Federation issued an announcement stating that as long as the pirate ships participated in the rescue operation, they would receive the "amnesty order" issued by the Federation, eliminating the previous bounty.

The ability of the [Black Swan] to enter the port of [Liuli Island] was also related to this "amnesty order".

The initial release of this announcement naturally caused a lot of controversy and confusion.

But the Federation still firmly implemented it until today.

It can even be said that the Federation's credibility is so good that even the most vicious pirates cannot deny it.

Therefore, Shane believes that it is feasible to exchange the new species in the [Rhine Secret Realm] for the Federation's merits.

"We are here."

At this moment, Daisy's words interrupted Shane's chaotic thoughts.

He silently gathered his distracting thoughts, and put the matter of "exchanging merits" in his mind, then looked up in front of him.

Slowly entering Shane's sight was a tall and magnificent building.

The walls of this building were dark gray, like the color of steel.

And from the architectural style, you can also see its cold and hard temperament, like a soldier standing in the cold wind.

Its towering columns, arches and continuously undulating roof structure always look imposing and majestic.

In fact, this is a very typical early federal style.

During the earliest period of the establishment of the federation, resources in all aspects were quite limited, and various buildings often focused more on practicality than beauty.

In other words, it was very military.

However, after staring at the building for a while, Shane couldn't help but frown slightly.

Because, in his eyes, this library soon underwent indescribable changes.

A large number of blurred black shadows spread from the edge of the library, and countless eyes opened in each black shadow, peeping at him with different eyes.

Not only that, the building seemed to have melted, and its entire shape changed, expanding and shrinking and wriggling.

Like some kind of living thing, or like a burning candle...

In between, there were a lot of meaningless distorted noises and light and shadow fragments, making the whole picture look even more absurd and bizarre.

Faced with this scene, Shane was not afraid at all, but took a step forward.

After taking this step, the scene in front of him suddenly changed.

The next second.

The shadow spreading in the library suddenly began to tremble violently.

All the eyes in the shadows suddenly burst open as if they saw something they shouldn't have seen.

In the melting building, there was a harsh and painful hiss.

Then, all the visions disappeared.

The library in front of Shane was still the cold and majestic building, as if everything that had just happened was just his own illusion.

"How... is this possible?"

But at this time, Alessio's shocked murmur came from Shane's side.

Shane turned around and found that Daisy was also looking at him with a look of seeing a ghost.

He asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"Speaking of which, I seem to have seen something strange just now. Could it be that you..."

Shane's eyes became sharp and scrutinizing.

Daisy quickly explained: "Mr. Shane, it's not what you think."

"In fact, this should be considered a routine when visiting the [Federal Library]."

"Books and texts also have special secret powers, especially those books that record ancient secrets, which can be regarded as a kind of [forbidden relics]."

"Therefore, a special sealing ritual is set up in the [Federal Library] to prevent this strange secret power from leaking out."

"Although the library has sealed this power, there will always be some breath that will leak out."

Daisy paused and continued.

"People with higher inspiration often see some indescribable images when they first see the Great Library."

"Otherwise, there will be no effect."

After hearing this, Shane understood immediately: "So that's it."

There was a lot of meaning in his tone.

From a subjective point of view, Daisy and her brother did not want to harm themselves.

But the two brought Shane to the door of the Great Library without actively reminding him, obviously they also had a prank mentality of wanting to see him make a fool of himself.

But, his reaction seemed to scare them instead?

Shane glanced at Alessio behind him, and without saying much, he continued to walk into the Great Library.

After the two sides were a distance apart, Daisy asked Alessio in a low voice.

"Brother, what did you see just now?"

Alessio still looked a little dazed, muttering: "I saw... those shadows, they were scared away..."

"I also saw a similar scene."

Daisy was a little doubtful, guessing: "Who is this Captain Shane?"

Just because he is of high rank, he can't do what he did just now.

It is obvious that Shane has some characteristics that make the hidden forces in the library feel afraid.

Daisy changed the subject and said.

"But even so, I'm afraid he will feel embarrassed in front of the administrator, right?"

Alessio nodded with deep understanding.

"After all, it's the administrator lady..."

…

…

Xia En, who had already walked into the library door, was completely unaware of the conversation between the two people behind him.

As soon as he entered the door, his eyes were attracted by the seemingly endless books in front of him.

On the rows and rows of bookshelves, there are countless books on display, and it is impossible to see the end at a glance.

The entire library is like a forest composed of books and bookshelves.

Cold and silent, but with a strange sense of beauty.

For book lovers, this might be paradise, right?

Tread...

Just when Xia En was shocked by the sight in front of him, there was a burst of unhurried footsteps behind him.

Shane turned to look.

Coming from behind was an old woman wearing a long black dress with an aging face.

She has a thin figure and a calm expression, and her youthful beauty is vaguely visible between her brows and eyes.

The old woman just stood in the forest of bookshelves, but she seemed extremely harmonious, as if she should be a part of these books.

At first glance, she looks a bit like an old witch from a fairy tale.

Still the kind that eats children!

But after careful observation, you can find that the old woman actually feels plain.

It's like he has already experienced the prosperity of the world and seen the peaks and valleys, so he doesn't care much about external things.

She was clearly standing there, but it seemed like she was spanning an immeasurable distance.

After glancing at Xia En, the old woman's expression did not waver at all. She just moved her steps and continued to do her unfinished work.

But that's it.

However, Xia En noticed something special about the old woman and couldn't help but ask.

"Are you... an elf?"

The reason why Xia En asked this question was because he saw that the old woman's ears were slightly pointed and there were some traces of dark green in her pupils.

The most important thing is that the old woman has an indescribable natural aura about her.

"……Um?"

The old woman raised her eyebrows, seeming to see something from Xia En, and asked.

"Have you ever seen a real elf?"

The old woman's voice was deep and magnetic, as if it had experienced the precipitation of time.

After hesitating for a moment, Xia En nodded: "That's right."

But at this moment, the old woman's cloudy eyes suddenly glowed with an unprecedented look.

She murmured quickly: "No, you have not only met elves, you have also lived with elves day and night..."

"That's it, it turns out you are..."

The old woman's cold attitude suddenly changed. She walked up to Xia En and said seriously.

"First time we meet, I am Jane Vivian."

"I am not a pure-blooded elf, but a hybrid of elves and humans."
