Black-haired Knight King of Chaldea

Chapter 220 Vol.14 Three "Iliad"

Alexander teenager is doing exercises in his room today.

There is no practical significance. After all, for the heroic spirit, his combat effectiveness depends on his own efforts during his lifetime.For a follower, their combat effectiveness depends on their magic power and the strength of their spirit base.

exercise?Nothing worked.This is just a pure theory of consciousness, as if you will become stronger after exercising.In fact, the servants will no longer become stronger. The only function of training is probably to keep the body in a state of preparation for battle and not be too slack. In the final analysis, it is still a matter of consciousness.

Sub-servants like Yagi Xuesai and Matthew, because part of their body is still human, so maybe they can still exercise?Maybe there will be growth after exercising?But that is the scope of research by scholars, not the scope of Alexander's strategists.

The reason why Alexander exercised himself was simply because of [habit].

When I was a teenager, I would exercise when I had time, let my body sweat, and when I was a little tired, I would read two pages of "Iliad".

He liked the book "The Iliad" very much.

Rather, it's right to the point where you can't put it down.

He once jokingly said to someone: If you suddenly recall a certain plot, you must read it on the spot.If you hold a sword in your right hand, read it with your left hand. If you are fighting, let someone around you read it to you.

From this joke, you can see his love for "Iliad".

After all, for the people of Alexander's time, heroes, especially mythical heroes, are always yearning for and surging in the heart.During the Trojan War, Achilles' bravery deeply inspired him in his youth, even in his mature age.

It's as if the Chinese like the Three Kingdoms period, and the Japanese like the Warring States period. Everyone once imagined that they galloped and killed the enemy on the chaotic battlefield, made contributions, and finally achieved their own hegemony.

So, Alexander worshiped Achilles, the great hero in the Trojan War, is it natural?

Whenever I read his works, I can always flash his figure in front of my eyes.

"Well... Speaking of which, what is the Iliad like in this era?"

He put down the Iliad book that he carried with him.

Rather than saying it is a book, it is more appropriate to describe it as a [scroll].

Because I have read it too many times, the edges and corners are almost torn.

So, he suddenly thought, in modern times, this book must not be unknown, right?Moreover, it must not be a manuscript or something, right?I wonder if I can find a hardcover version of the Iliad?

Thinking of this, Alexander rushed to the archives of Chaldea.

The person in charge of managing the archives room is called Amamiya Tsuki. As the name suggests, she is Japanese, with black braids and glasses, giving people a stereotyped impression of "ah, this person seems to be my monitor". .

By the way, because of this appearance, her nickname in Chaldea is "Squad Leader", which was given by Yagi Yusai.

By the way, this is also the reason why the relationship between her and Yagi Xuesai is not harmonious.

Alexander rushed all the way here and pushed open the door of the archives room.

"Excuse me, is there an Iliad?"

Alexander's hearty voice echoed.

Looking up from the terminal, Ms. Amamiya nodded: "Yes."

She was probably the most incompatible person with the atmosphere of Chaldea.

After all, her job is to record, collect, and sort out information in this archives room.

Chaldea was originally a large organization with 400 people. In such an organization, how much time would it take to exchange, organize, and classify data in a day?

To put it bluntly, there were originally more than a dozen staff members in the archives room. Even so, they had to work six hours a day without a break to archive all yesterday's materials.Yes, yesterday's information.

After a good night's sleep, continue to use six hours to organize the files that have become "yesterday".

Originally, they were also included in Leif's Chaldea explosion plan, but because Amemiya Tsuki was born in Japan, this small country in the Far East was not favored by those European magicians who claimed to be aristocrats in Chaldea. Already, push all the finishing work to her.

Thanks to this, when Chaldea exploded, she stayed in the completely safe archives... Nothing happened at all... She was startled when she heard the bang, what else?It's alright.business as usual.

To be honest, deep down in her heart, she was quite grateful for Rafe's explosion, at least her work tasks were much lighter.

The person in front of her was Alexander, and she had heard it mentioned by other people in Chaldea.

Skillfully operating the terminal, Ms. Amamiya recalled "The Iliad" from the archives.

Swipe in the air to pop up a blue and white window, and the lines of words in it scroll and unfold.

"What style do you want?"

"Ah...it's not a physical book..."

Alexander's face suddenly collapsed.

He just thought that now that science is advanced, technology is advanced, and supplies are abundant, the new version of "Iliad" must be very handsome, right?Turns out, that's not the case at all.Because it is too developed, people use e-books directly!

That's right, the myths, history and legends of all countries in the world add up to so many documents, how can a small Chaldea fit in?Here is just a collection of some basic materials, which are stored in the form of physical books, and more materials are in electronic versions.

This kind of thing... Alexander is not used to it.I always feel that this thing is far from the [feel] of reading, and there is no feeling of reading at all.

Perhaps it was because the disappointment on his face was so clear?Yu Gongyue asked:
"Want a physical book?"

"Correct!"

"Don't you think that e-books are easy to carry and save paper, so you can use fragmented time?"

"No. Let's say, if you can't turn the pages with your hands, you're not called a reader, right? Speaking of which, if there are many books at Yagi, I'll go and ask, thank you, miss!"

Alexander, who came here in a hurry, left in a hurry.

As he joked before, he is a very lustful type, once he wants something, he has to get it right away.All he wanted now was the printed version of the Iliad.

Then... As it should be, there is no Iliad in Yagi Xuesai's room.

Although Yagi Xuezhai is an otaku, he is not that hard-core. The books he collects are basically light novels, manga and manga exhibitions, and are generally thin books of ten or twenty pages.He wasn't the type to spend money on classics, especially foreign classics.

When I was in the second year of middle school, I bought "The Biography of Napoleon", imagining that I could become Napoleon and fight all over the world, but found that the autobiography was far from the novel. After reading about a third of it, I was not interested in continuing to read dry ones. Text, ran to play and went to total war... It is really a very tearful reading history.

Alexander did not hide the helplessness on his face. Now there was nothing to do, so he could only go back to his room and continue reading his Iliad.

Back in the room, the blue and white squares on the table caught his attention all of a sudden, but it wasn't there when he left.

It was a well-decorated book, with a white base, simple blue patterns on the hard cover, and [ΙΛΙΑΣ (Iliad)] written in strict print on the upper middle.

"Oh oh oh! This is it! This is what Yu wants! It's great! 21st century! I don't know who gave Yu a tribute! But it's so good!"

Then, there was the sound of flipping books.

In the corridor, listening to Alexander's ecstatic voice, someone smiled, and the sound of footsteps went away.
