The library in Aryadovi is located on the edge of the city, opposite the newly integrated Old City.

Because the Old City did not originally belong to the Old City of Aryadovi City, its style is quite different.

Walking down the street, Gu Xi could clearly see that on one side were small stone houses from the 15th century, and on the other side were abandoned reinforced concrete buildings.

Standing on the street and looking to the left and right, you get the feeling that you are at the intersection of time and space.

The library was built in this location, on the edge of Aryadovi City, but it had a different style. This library was a two-story building.

The style is also from the 15th century, but the exterior of the building is planted with many flowers and plants, and a strange Pea Vine has climbed all over the east wall.

From a distance, this place looks more like Herbal Shop than a library.

As soon as Gu Xi Map Unveiling door, a voice reached his ears.

[Building Name: Library (Fairytale Theme)]

Level: 1 (upgradeable) Features: Produces 3 Mystery Peas per week, with random attributes (reward for collecting 10 Fairy Tale Book).

When Magic Tower is built, a synergy effect occurs, increasing the Magic Tower's magic research speed by 1.

When Magic Academy is built, a synergistic effect occurs, increasing the training speed of Magic Apprentice by 3.

When Alchemy Laboratory is built, a synergistic effect occurs, increasing the success rate of alchemical product refining by 25%.

While looking at the pop-up notification, Gu Xi walked into the library.

Unlike the tavern, the library in front of us was spotless, though it was deserted. There were two bookshelves in the lobby on the first floor, each holding only ten Fairy Tale Book that Gu Xi had bought.

The Fairy Tale Book that recorded the story of Grim Reaper was placed on top, but Gu Xi's target fell on the Fairy Tale Book Jack and the Beanstalk. He never expected that such a gray Fairy Tale Book would affect the library's reward output.

Sure enough, Gu Xi found three whole peas in front of the Fairy Tale Book.

The peas were as green as jade, with even a shimmering light on them; it was clear at a glance that they were no ordinary peas.

Gu Xi reached out and picked up the pea, and information about three peas popped up in front of him.

[Strength Bean (Green): Increases Strength by 5 for 3 hours after consumption.]

[Sky-Piercing Bean (Green): When buried in the soil, it quickly grows into a giant vine, which can be used to craft polearms or magic wands.]

[Pea Shooter (Green): When buried in the ground, it will grow into a pea shooter that spits pea seeds. It has an attack power of 5 and 30 ammo. It will disappear automatically after running out of ammo.]

These three peas have such varied properties, representing all sorts of varieties.

After observing the situation of the three peas, Gu Xi couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

However, since it was essentially a free gift, Gu Xi didn't mind. Besides, the three peas were of quite good quality. After putting the peas away, Gu Xi wandered around the library again.

This library gave Gu Xi the same feeling as the Owl Building: the building was completed, but its functions were not yet complete, and Gu Xi needed to put various resources into it.

Currently, only the first floor is open. After walking around, Gu Xi found a large hall and three small rooms on the first floor.

There are three bookshelves in the hall, but only one is currently full of books, while the other two are empty. There is a bookshelf and a desk in each of the small rooms, which seems to be used for copying.

But now the desk and bookshelves are empty, there's nothing there.

However, Gu Xi believed that as long as he worked hard, the library would eventually be filled.

The library will be very useful then. The three bookshelves will have corresponding supplies every week. What about the three small rooms? Will they also have supplies, or even more? Thinking of this, Gu Xi smiled.

As a necromancer, what he learned mainly involved controlling undead in combat and Undead Spell.

He didn't actually have much knowledge about urban construction.

After all, not all players have the opportunity to own a city of their own.

Gu Xi only knew that the development of a city mainly required population and resources.

The undead can acquire population through combat, but resources need to be accumulated little by little.

Having an extra building that produces resources, and being able to produce more resources, is a good thing for Gu Xi.

After visiting the library, Gu Xi was about to leave when his gaze suddenly fell on the buildings across the street.

For some reason, when Gu Xi looked in that direction, he suddenly felt an urge to go over there.

The thought crossed his mind, and he paused in Gu Xi tracks, reaching out to steady himself against the doorframe, preventing himself from rushing forward.

He then stood on tiptoe and looked in that direction, where there was a clearly abandoned building.

A laboratory? Gu Xi remembered that the original land deed mentioned that there were three abandoned laboratories inside.

These three laboratories occupy three large plots of land, and they are marked not as "activated," but as "dangerous."

Gu Xi didn't think much about it when he got the land Gu Xi. Before reporting to the guild, he handed it over to Luna and had her integrate into the Aryadovi City.

In retrospect, Gu Xi was a bit hasty.

He shouldn't have integrated into such a dangerous place prematurely; instead, he should have accumulated enough strength before turning back to deal with the situation.

There's a bit of a problem now.

Gu Xi turned his head away, no longer looking in that direction, and at the same time, he used the wall for support to walk around to the back of the library.

Gu Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief when he realized he couldn't see the Abandoned Laboratory.

Gu Xi had already figured out what was going on; there was definitely something in the Abandoned Laboratory that was drawing him there.

It was a power that influenced the mind; if Gu Xi hadn't been a necromancer, he might have already fallen for it.

But the danger is not over yet. If this, or even these three Abandoned Laboratory, are not cleared out, his Aryadovi City may be affected.

We need to organize a force to storm the Abandoned Laboratory.

Another thought arose in Gu Xi's mind.

But this thought only flashed through Gu Xi's mind before disappearing completely. Gu Xi could clearly feel that when this thought arose, there were slight magical fluctuations around him.

It was clear that the things in the Abandoned Laboratory were drawing Gu Xi back to the past.

The more they acted this way, the further Gu Xi wanted to stay away from the Abandoned Laboratory; he didn't even intend to let his men into it.

This way, the contents of the Abandoned Laboratory will not be released.
