Chapter 245: The old dean who was hit hard
This function that Wanwan mentioned is obviously the search engine on various networks in this world. Things like Du Niang, Gu Ge, etc., don't they all come out just by searching for keywords?
Forget about a certain dog, maybe only one dog can be found (don’t take this joke seriously).
But can the magical functions of this kind of technology be realized in this magical world? This is indeed a question worth pondering, but who makes Wanwan have confidence in magic?
Magic books similar to spiritual transmission e-books can be invented. It is hard to imagine what magical creations will be created if magic continues to develop.
"Um...what Mr. Bai said...the function of indexing books. We have so many books in the library, it is difficult to achieve the ability to accurately find books you mentioned."
Adolf thought about it for a while before he understood the meaning of Bai Bai's words.
"Actually, if we just locate the location of a certain book, we have similar magic that can achieve this function. This is only limited to some relatively recent books."
"Those books that are too old do not mention the magical power they contain in order to be preserved. Just that ancient time is enough to interfere with many divination techniques."
After hearing his explanation, the pale man nodded thoughtfully. What the other party meant was that there was a magic that could locate books, but it could only locate part of it.
Those ancient magic books and inheritances contain powerful magic power in order to withstand the erosion of time.
The magic power contained in it will conflict with the divination techniques used to find books. Similarly, the older the ancient books, the more difficult and disruptive the divination will be.
"I probably understand what you mean, but after all, they still have to find a successor for that little girl. Why don't they bother you, Dean, to take action and see if it's within your capabilities."
"Help them find relevant inheritance books."
Wanwan said this, but in fact he did the same. He wanted to see how far this old man could penetrate the fate magic.
"This is natural."
Adolph obviously didn't have any objections to this, or he followed him down. His purpose was to save some points and help a few people find classics to pass on.
However, it is still not an easy task to find the books he wants in such a vast mountain of books. Even with his attainments in fate magic.
Therefore, as soon as the old man in white robe made a move, he used all his strength and summoned a simple and shabby parchment scroll with a raised hand.
He slowly opened the ancient scroll of destiny in his hand, and an invisible but mysterious aura quietly emerged. It seemed that there was not a single word on the parchment scroll, but it seemed to contain everything.
Until the silver light spots appeared one after another on the scroll, flickering on and off. Then each of the light spots began to slowly connect with each other with light rays as they flickered on and off.
After the light points were connected one by one, a complex and mysterious magic circle was slowly formed.
"This is... the starlight emitted by the stars in the sky, right? Use the starlight to build a magic circle on the scroll of destiny, and then echo it with the stars in the sky..."
Today's pale is naturally no longer the magic novice he was when he first arrived. Now he has gained knowledge and classics along the way, which can definitely make him a well-read man.
That's why I can see at a glance what the old man's name is on the scroll.
"Using the power of the stars to echo the horoscope is really a good divination ability."
His appreciation naturally made Adolph particularly happy. He was currently concentrating on divination and was not happy, otherwise he would have to show off his knowledge.
However, the pale erudition also made him a little curious.
"What? I didn't expect that Your Excellency Bai also knows astrology and divination?"
Having already exposed the previous offense, it was naturally impossible for him to say bluntly at this time that the other party was just a furry three-legged cat. When he was in a good mood, he was still very polite and gave people face.
"I only know a little bit about fate."
"Your Excellency is humble."
Perhaps because he saw something in common with him, Adolf's attitude was getting better and better unknowingly. When he said this, he couldn't help but feel a bit competitive in his heart.
"Since Mr. Wanwan also understands destiny divination, how about you and I look for books together? After all, the sea of books is vast, and my power is limited after all."
Similarly, this is because the old man is still tempted and wants to see his ability in this area. However, Wanwan won't mind such a direct test in the open.
After pondering for a moment, he nodded and did not refuse. In fact, he was afraid that with Adolph's three-legged cat, he would not be able to find the necessary books for divination.
So he might as well just take action himself and help find it.
"Okay, then let's search for it together as you said."
The old man in white robe who heard the words didn't seem to make any move on the surface, but secretly. The moment the pale voice fell, his attention was raised, and his old eyes couldn't stop peeking out of the corner of his eye.
'Forehead……'
It's just that he secretly paid attention to Bai Bai for a long time, but he didn't see any movement from him. He didn't recite any spells, draw any magic circles, and didn't make any weird movements.
The only thing that can be considered an action is probably raising his head and looking left and right in front of the sky-high bookshelves.
But, can you see a ghost in this? No matter how powerful your perception is, you can't just look at it and find the one you want from the many books in the collection, right?
Because most of these many books contain mysterious power to maintain them. As for the isolation of perception, it is only the most basic incidental ability.
'What on earth...is he doing? Didn't we agree to do divination and search together?'
Adolphe was really confused by Bai Wan's mysterious operation, but fortunately he had deep concentration. On the surface, he remained unchanged at all, as if he was going all out to find the inherited classics.
But he also always maintained a trace of attention to observe the other party's movements. Perhaps he had some intention of secretly learning something.
It's a pity that Bai Bai was destined to disappoint him. He didn't make any other move until the old man in white robe's divination was over.
The old man exhaled with some difficulty, and it could be seen that this divination was also very draining on his spirit. After he calmed down, he looked at Bai Bai who was still looking left and right in confusion.
"Your Excellency Bai, don't you also want to help them divine the location of the classics? Why don't you do it? If you are missing any magic materials, I can help you solve it."
It can be seen that after all, he is still somewhat curious about pale methods, and somewhat impatient to see him take action.
"Huh?! Are you ready? Sorry, I was reading something else just now and forgot about it for a moment."
The pale look as if he had just come to his senses and the understatement of his tone seemed to make the old man choke with blood in his throat and almost cause him a heart attack.
What was even worse was that he wanted to see what the other party would do, but he had to endure it and said with a smile.
"I should say I'm sorry. My abilities are limited and I haven't been able to find the target in the vast sea of books. Now, I can only look at your brilliant move."
"I can't talk about a clever trick, so I can only say give it a try."
Bai Bai nodded without confirming, and then saw him slowly closing his eyes. Adolph's attention was raised again, and he held his breath to see clearly.
However, it didn't take long for him to open his eyes again. Don't make any movements, spells, etc. during this period, even the slightest bit of magic was not revealed.
"Just... just... gone?"
The old man in white robe felt that his mood changes over the past few decades were not as volatile as today. He looked at the pale man who opened his eyes again and asked in disbelief.
"It's gone, that's it."
Baiwan explained casually, and after seeing the old man's expression that he was about to have a heart attack, he continued to speak in order to convince the other person and to prove that he was not just deceiving others.
"It's just divination. There's no need for so many fancy things. I think the most important thing to see through something as ethereal as fate is feeling."
"Can this kind of feeling be called divination?"
Adolph was unable to complain. He felt that the destiny he admired had been insulted.
"It depends on how you understand it. Sometimes people's own feelings are the most sensitive and spiritual. Of course, if you don't think this is divination, you can just think it's my intuition."
Compared to the old man in white robe, whose expression has gradually collapsed, his pale face is still so calm and calm, and even a little... understanding?
"All right."
The old man in white robe shook his head speechlessly, as if he didn't want to say anything more. His worldview was shocked, and at this moment he just wanted to know the outcome.
"Then I would like to ask, Your Excellency Bai, have you gained anything from this... this intuitive feeling of yours?"
But after already thinking that Bai Bai was perfunctory and fooling him, Adolf even guessed his next answer, which was nothing more than those familiar words.
'There are so many books. My abilities are limited, so I can't find anything...Eh? Wait, this face and rhetoric, it feels so familiar.'
"I don't know if it can be considered a gain. I have to look at the book that I intuitively felt to know whether this is the inheritance we need."
But just when the old man in white robe was complaining in his heart, the pale answer was completely beyond his expectation.
"It's okay, Mr. Bai. I didn't find it and I didn't...wait, what did you just say?"
For a moment, Adolph even thought he had heard wrongly.
"I said that I found a seemingly related book, but I haven't looked at the details yet. I'm not sure if it's the inheritance we want."
Wanwan repeated with some confusion, and while he was speaking, he had already taken down the book he had found.
But her seemingly casual expression deeply hurt the old man's heart. In his most proud field, he was hit to the point of doubting his life.
He was speechless for a moment, but he didn't see the smile on the corner of his pale mouth. It was obvious that someone who was also unscrupulous did it on purpose.
He only saw the thin, worn-out book that the other party took out of his hand. Through the blurry old version of Common Language text, he could vaguely make out the name on the cover.
