What era is it, still traditional card making

"Sir, may I help you with anything?"

A cold voice reached Ye Qiong's ears. Ye Qiong looked in the direction of the voice and walked to the front desk.

As the distance between them shortened, his heartbeat began to beat violently.

This was not because he was nervous when seeing the beauty, but because he felt the suppression of the dragon bloodline.

At this moment, he felt a little unbelievable. He was a pure-blooded dragon, so why was he suppressed by a half-dragon?

It seems that the dragon blood in this half-dragon lady is very unusual, at least it is at the ancient dragon level, so she can suppress him.

In front of his own kind, any disguise is meaningless. Facing the question from the half-dragon lady, Ye Qiong answered politely:
"I am only here to borrow some books, I have no ill intentions. If possible, can you tell me where the books on magic are?"

"Of course, but there are too many books on magic. I wonder if you can explain it in more detail, for example, what kind of books are there?"

"No need, I have plenty of time, I can take my time."

Seeing the other party say this, Adas did not ask any more questions. He directly told Ye Qiong the area where the magic books were located, and then continued to read the novel with his head down.

The encounter between the two dragons in the demon world ended so dully. They had a great tacit understanding and did not talk as dragons, but as guests and librarians.

Ye Qiong came to area B15 and successfully found the area where the magic books were located.

He looked at the books on the bookshelf and silently recited their titles in his mind.
"Learn magic from scratch and become a bronze magician in 30 days"

《Transformation of Magical Nature, Starting from Fire Magic》

Judging from the style, the authors of these books do not seem to be demons, but more like humans. After seeing the names of these books, Ye Qiong inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.

He took a book that interested him from the bookshelf and began to read it silently.

Ye Qiong has a clear understanding of his own magic level. Now he can indeed use some relatively advanced magic, but these are just used in a opportunistic way.

What he lacks now is actually the basics of magic.

The first book Ye Qiong read was the famous work "Learning Magic from Scratch, Becoming a Bronze Magician in 30 Days".
He wanted to see how ordinary magicians used magic in the beginning.

The book was not very long, only about fifty pages, and Ye Qiong finished it quickly.

He closed the book silently and recalled the contents of the book in his mind.

This book does indeed talk about some extremely basic knowledge, such as how to sense magic power, and after sensing the magic power, how to mobilize the magic power in the body.

Generally speaking, normal people who have never been exposed to magic are completely unable to sense the existence of magic power. Only after their blood vessels are opened up and the magic power flows in the body along with the blood, can they gradually sense the existence of magic power.

In fact, it is quite troublesome to sense the existence of magic power, which is why the threshold for becoming a magician is so high.

Ye Qiong began to recall in his mind, did he encounter these troubles when he first came into contact with magic?
It seems not.
His first contact with magic began when he studied magic runes in that cave.
At that time, he seemed to be naturally sensitive to magic power. Magic power seemed to be a part of his body and he could easily call upon it.

Therefore, he did not encounter these troublesome things in the process of learning magic.

After sensing the existence of magic, the second thing you need to learn is how to draw out the magic power. Generally speaking, if you can make the magic power cover your entire body, you have passed this stage.

Ye Qiong tried it a little bit, and soon a blue flame covered his whole body.

With just a thought, he easily mobilized the magic power in his body, turning it into flaming armor that covered his entire body.

At this stage, he can also do it easily.

Judging from what Ye Qiong feels so far, his foundation in magic doesn't seem as bad as imagined?

At least for now, he did not experience any difficulty in using magic.
The third stage of basic magic is to master the transformation of magic properties.
To put it simply, it is to integrate various elements in the atmosphere into the magic power in the body, thereby transforming the magic power into magic power of a certain nature. Now most of the basic five elements magic are released using this method.
Magic like space and time requires certain specific conditions to be met before it can be released. Since this book only talks about some basic knowledge, the method of using this type of magic is not written down in detail.

Ye Qiong put the book back and glanced at the bookshelf.
Originally, he thought that his foundation was weak, so he planned to cram in some basic knowledge of magic.

But judging from the current situation, his attainments in magic seem to be much higher than he himself imagined.

He took the second book from the shelf and returned to his original seat to continue reading.

Before I knew it, it was sunset.
The library has come to closing time.
Because Ye Qiong was watching so intently, he didn't even notice the footsteps.

"Sir, it's almost closing time. If you are interested in this book, why don't you go to the front desk to register and take the book home to read?"

Hearing this voice, Ye Qiong instinctively raised his head and looked at the other party.

It was the half-dragon librarian. Her dragon tail was pointing upwards, supporting five or six books. It seemed that these were the books she planned to take home to read after get off work.

Ye Qiong nodded slightly, then asked:

"I want to borrow a lot of books. Is this money enough?"

As he spoke, he placed a gold coin on the table and looked at the half-dragon lady in front of him.

After seeing the gold coins on the table, Aidas's face showed a hint of doubt. Her expression seemed to say:

"Are you really a greedy dragon?"

She also never thought that one day she would be able to get gold coins from her own people.
Edas shook his head and replied:

"You have more than enough money to buy these books. They are just for borrowing, so there is no charge. Just follow me to the front desk to register."

"No charge?" Ye Qiong looked around. For a library of this size, if there was no charge, where would the income come from?
Adas was also extremely smart. Just by looking at Ye Qiong's movements, he understood what he was thinking.

“I am the owner of this library.”

"That's even weirder."

Ye Qiong instinctively opened his mouth to refute. How could there be a dragon clan that would not be greedy for money?

Hearing this, Edas simply glanced at the gold coins on the table, then answered:

"Aren't you weird too?"

Having said that, he walked towards the front desk without looking back.

Ye Qiong glanced at the gold coins on the table and suddenly smiled with relief.

Indeed, these two dragons are really strange.
A person who has no interest in gold, silver or jewelry, and whose mind is filled with thoughts of how to become stronger.
One of them is interested in novels and stays in this library just to read books.

Ye Qiong stood up, picked up the book on the table, and walked towards the front desk.

He borrowed about five or six books this time, and if nothing went wrong he could finish reading them in one night.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Ye Qiong followed the half-dragon lady to the front desk and successfully completed the registration.
He took a look at the reading card that the other party handed to him. There was a name written on the seal on it.
Eddas Harris,

If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the girl's name.

In his impression, the Harris family was extremely famous in the Kingdom of Ireland.

The Kingdom of Ireland is a country ruled by the Demon King Stanley and the Moon Witch Sharan.

Among them, the Moon Witch Sharan’s last name is Harris.

Ye Qiong looked at the borrowing card in his hand and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. No wonder the other party was able to open such a large-scale library in the City of Progress. It turned out that she was a famous lady from a big family. This was not surprising.

He walked on the street holding a book, and when he looked up he could vaguely see the dusk.

Ye Qiong came to the City of Progress this time with the original purpose of killing a few demon witches to earn reincarnation coins.

In his opinion, the remaining time of this reincarnation was not very useful. Instead of continuing to waste time here, it would be better to earn enough reincarnation coins and return to the city to reincarnate as a demon.
But when he came to the Higurashi Library, his idea gradually changed.
There seemed to be something worth discovering here.

The Higurashi Library has a collection of more than 100,000 books. He can completely calm down here, read slowly, and absorb knowledge about the world.

What Ye Qiong needs to do now is to find a place to stay temporarily.

He had only one requirement for where he lived, which was that it had to be close enough to the library so that he could go there to borrow books at any time.

He still has some savings now. If it were normal, it wouldn't be difficult for him to find a place to stay temporarily.
But now we are in wartime,

The City of Progress is much safer than other cities in the Kingdom of Elland because it is blessed by the witch.
Therefore, not long ago, a large number of demons flocked here and regarded this place as a refuge.

Most of these demons are rich and powerful, so now most of the good places in the City of Progress have been occupied by them.
Ye Qiong asked many hotels, but was told by the front desk that there were no rooms available.
In desperation, he could only settle for the next best thing and planned to choose some more remote places to see if he could find a vacant room.

He searched and found a good hotel.

The inn is run by an old lady who looks very energetic and is fiddling with something in a medicine mortar.
After seeing Ye Qiong coming, the old woman just glanced at him and said coldly:

“There are no more rooms available.”

This is a lie.

Ye Qiong only needed to use his mental power to scan around and he was able to clearly sense that there were not many people staying in this hotel and there were more than enough empty rooms.

So why did the old woman refuse to do business and turn him away?

Seeing that he is a dragon, he doesn't want to cause trouble for himself?
How is this possible? The barrier on his body can only be seen through by demigod-level beings. It is the result of his years of practicing sealing magic. How can he just find a hotel and then be seen through by the old lady who runs the hotel?
This is not a novel, where do so many hidden masters come from?

The reason why the old lady refused his stay was either because the money was not enough or because this hotel was only for special people.

Ye Qiong glanced at the sturdy demon man who passed by him, and made a guess in his mind.
The hand of this sturdy man still had the smell of blood, he was definitely not a good person. It seemed that everyone who stayed in this hotel was not a good person.

From what he had just detected with his mental power, those who could stay in this hotel were all at the Gold Realm, and there were also quite a few Saint Realm experts.
Strong men of this level are generally sent to the capital to participate in the war, so why are they gathering here?

The answer was obvious. This hotel probably sheltered demons who dodged military service, so the old woman rejected him without hesitation.

After thinking about this, Ye Qiong quickly knew how he should answer.

He bent down and spoke in a low voice:
"Mother-in-law, I also escaped here. Don't worry, I will only stay here for one night. I will find another house to live in tomorrow."

As he said this, he took out a gold coin from the cloth bag around his waist.
If you only stay for one night, this amount of money should be enough.
However, what Ye Qiong did not expect was that even after he had said this, the old woman still firmly chose to refuse.
This time, the reason for her refusal was no longer that there were no vacancies, but:

"not enough."

One gold coin isn't enough for one night?

Is your house made of gold?

Ye Qiong was so angry that he almost laughed. If he really couldn't find a place to live, he wouldn't have wasted so much time here.

Although he is not greedy for money, it does not mean that he is a sucker.
Since even a single gold coin was not enough to stay in this hotel, he could only say goodbye and look for the next one. If he couldn't find one, he could just fly outside the City of Progress and find a cave to live in. In any case, he couldn't be taken advantage of. (End of this chapter)
