Lieduo Kingdom, National Library.

The entire library is made of sandstone and alloy. The environment inside is very dark, and the only source of light is a few small windows.

Because this library was built so old, there is no electricity in the entire library. There are only some kerosene lamps placed on gray candlesticks that can be lit to obtain light sources.

Under the leadership of the librarian, Xiaonan entered the library.

The books stored on the bookshelf look very ancient. The documents used to record the documents are not today's paper, but ancient parchment.

"The library above contains mostly picture books. Most of them contain records about dragons and beasts."

The librarian introduced Xiaonan enthusiastically.

"Dragon beast?"

Xiao Nan raised her eyebrows. She didn't know what a dragon beast was.

The librarian smiled and said: "Dragon beasts are dragon beasts. They are very ancient creatures, but later their family became extinct on the earth, so not many people know about it now."

Xiao Nan nodded and without asking any more questions, she went straight to the point and said:

"Take me directly to the destination. Orochimaru should have told your king in advance."

"Yes, please come with me. Speaking of which, no one has been there for a long time. I didn't expect that there are still people interested in ancient knowledge today. It is already very difficult just to decipher the words above, let alone understand them.

Content."

The librarian said with emotion.

As he spoke, he led Xiaonan to the destination.

It is deep in the National Library, and there is a door blocking the way to the inside.

"What you want is at the back. The last time Mr. Orochimaru came here, he stayed for a long time before going out. Are ancient materials really so fascinating?"

The librarian shook his head helplessly, then took out a key from his pocket and opened the door.

The road leading to the interior has been opened, and it is the steps leading underground.

The librarian held a portable kerosene lamp and walked down the dim steps, with Xiaonan following behind.

Soon, we arrived on the flat ground and reached the underground space of the library.

This is also a library, but the space is very small. On the bookshelves covered with cobwebs, there are a large number of documents recorded on parchments or scrolls.

There was also thick dust accumulated on the ground, but there seemed to be footprints of someone walking on it.

Konan knew that those were the traces left by Orochimaru's past visit here.

After contacting the rulers of this country, Xiaonan felt that they completely ignored ancient knowledge and did not attach much importance to it.

Rather than studying these ancient documents that are of no use to the country, it is better to find ways to obtain water sources for survival, which is the top priority of the country.

On the contrary, the ancient documents that were ignored by the king and ministers turned out to be the sacred objects that Orochimaru pursued so hard.

The same thing, in the hands of different people, will appear in two states: valuable and worthless.

"Okay, here is where the things Mr. Orochimaru needs are located. If you want to take them away, just take them all. There is no use in putting them here anyway. They are just some old antique books that no one can understand."

The librarian said nonchalantly.

"That would be disrespectful."

Xiaonan said.

"Then, I will leave first. Please take your time and watch."

After saying that, the librarian ignored Xiaonan, stepped up the stairs, and left the basement.

After the librarian left, Xiao Nan took out the space scroll used to seal items from the ninja tool bag.

This kind of sealing scroll is very expensive in the world because it cannot store living creatures, but it can store a lot of supplies. During wartime, many ninja villages will use it.

This time, in order to take away the ancient documents of the Lietuo Kingdom, Xiaonan deliberately took them out and used them.

There are not many books in the basement. It took Xiaonan about ten minutes to pack up more than half of the books in it.

Just as I was packing away the books on the next bookshelf, a book suddenly fell from that bookshelf, splashing a little dust.

Xiao Nan walked over and dusted off the dust on the cover. The cover was dark blue and the material of the cover was a bit rough, like rock powder. On the dark blue cover, four fonts were engraved with gold foil.

This font is only very similar to contemporary writing, but Xiaonan knows that it is ancient writing from thousands of years ago. Xiaonan's knowledge is not enough to decipher the name of this book.

However, out of curiosity, Xiaonan still opened one of the pages.

This is a picture book.

On the first page, there is an ink painting of several civet cats of different sizes playing on the beach.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Nan turned to the next page and saw the cat staring at the kerosene lamp.

Raccoon cat? Cat?

Xiaonan looked strange.

According to Orochimaru, the books in this basement are some very precious documents, and there are even many forbidden books.

But the picture book in her hand seems to be just a very ordinary picture book. Is it also the so-called important information?

"That's 'Celestial Drawing.'"

Just when Konan felt strange in her heart, Orochimaru's unique hoarse voice sounded behind her.

Xiaonan turned around.

"Have you finished handling the matter there?"

"Yes, for the rest, we just need to let my subordinates transport the things back to the Yinyin Village base."

Orochimaru nodded.

Xiao Nan looked at the picture book in his hand and asked, "You said the name of this book is 'Celestial Drawing'?"

"Yes, this book is in this basement. It is a so-called banned book."

"Banned books?"

Xiaonan screamed in surprise.

No matter how you look at it, this is just a very ordinary picture book.

"You'll find out if you keep reading."

Orochimaru smiled mysteriously, it was obvious that he had already read this picture book.

Xiaonan suppressed her inner doubts and continued to turn the pages.

The content on the third page is a turtle climbing a rocky mountain.

The fourth page shows a monkey drawing on the ground with branches.

Civets, cats, turtles, and monkeys are all just animals in nature.

Is this a book introducing animals?

However, this is impossible.

Since Orochimaru said that this book is a banned book, it means that this is not just a simple introduction to animals.

Could it be... An idea flashed in Xiaonan's mind, and she thought of something.

"How's it going? Did you guess it?"

Orochimaru asked with a smile.

"These animals...are tailed beasts!"

Xiaonan's expression suddenly became serious.

One tail is a big civet cat.

The second tail is a cat.

Santail is a turtle with three tails.

The fourth tail is a monkey.

The content of this drawing is very cleverly connected with the tailed beast.

If this is a coincidence, Xiaonan doesn't believe it at all.

Konan continued to turn the pages of the book, and as she expected, the content of this book was related to tailed beasts.

The fifth page is a seahorse swimming in the sea, with five tails.

On page six, the frogs and slugs crawling in the swamp are Vulpix.

The seventh page is a tree trunk with a group of beetles on it, representing Nanao's identity.

On the eighth page, there is a cow peeking into the pot, which represents the eight tails.

The ninth page is an orange bonfire, which looks like the nine tails of the nine-tailed fox. Therefore, it can be concluded that this is the back of the nine-tailed fox.

The tenth page depicts a towering giant born from the earth.
