Guardian Spirit of the Forbidden Library

The sound reached Fang Li's ears before he could even see the full view inside the Fang Li.

It felt as if they had known from the beginning that someone would come here, as the childish yet indifferent voice rang out clearly.

Fang Li showed no surprise whatsoever, merely smiled faintly, and turned his gaze to the room.

The next moment, a library came into Fang Li's view.

That was a real library.

Neatly arranged bookshelves filled the room.

The interior of the frame was filled with thick books.

The library was much larger than the guest room Fang Li had stayed Fang Li before, more than twice the size.

As for the books themselves, they all exuded an unusual scent, giving the library a mysterious atmosphere rather than a vulgar, bookish fragrance.

In this very library, right in front of the door, stood a beautiful and lovely young girl.

The girl was younger Fang Li any of the people Fang Li had ever known, and in terms of appearance alone, she was almost the same age as Fan Xinglu.

However, unlike Fan Xinglu's ethereal attire, the cute girl in front of her was wearing a luxurious dress with lots of pleats, giving her the illusion of being a little princess.

The girl had her hair tied into Spiral pigtails, and her hair color was a golden yellow, like rice ears.

A young girl was sitting on a step stool, holding a large book, with her head down, flipping through the pages.

Without a doubt, the other party didn't even raise their head before speaking when the Fang Li opened.

Even now, the other party may not know what Fang Li looks like.

When Fang Li turned his gaze to the library, the girl looked up and met Fang Li eyes.

The pair of eyes on the youthful face were as blue as the ocean.

"Is it you?"

The girl looked directly at Fang Li with an attitude that could hardly be described as friendly, and said this.

"An insolent burglar who broke into Betty's Forbidden Library in the dead of night."

Upon hearing those words, which were anything but friendly, Fang Li simply remained unconvinced, speaking as if he were addressing a sulking child without any formality.

"If you don't want others to break into your room, then lock the door. This is common sense that even a child knows."

Upon hearing this, the girl who called herself Betty's eyebrows twitched slightly. She didn't look away from Fang Li, but her gaze became somewhat displeased.

Clearly, Fang Li's first impression on the other party was not good at all.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that Fang Li never made a good impression on anyone here after arriving at this mansion.

Whether it's Rem, Ram, or the girl in front of them who calls herself Betty, they must all have a terrible impression of Fang Li, right?

"And then?" the girl asked Fang Li with an even more unfriendly tone. "What do you plan to do now that you've come to Betty's Forbidden Library?"

"What else can we do here in the library?" Fang Li shrugged and laughed nonchalantly, "Of course we come to read books, right?"

With just one sentence, the surrounding air instantly plummeted to freezing point.

"Smack!"

With a crisp sound, the girl slammed the book shut.

"You are not only rude, but also extremely audacious."

The girl's voice also lowered considerably, and her azure eyes fixed on Fang Li, hostility beginning to surface within them.

"If you knew about the existence of this Forbidden Library, you should understand that such words are practically a provocation against Betty, right?"

It's only natural that the girl would say that.

Because this Forbidden Library does not contain ordinary books, but magic books.

The Mezas Clan are a family of sorcerers, renowned magicians and even Spirit Sorcerer for generations, a lineage that has continued for hundreds of years, a truly ancient and distinguished family.

The magical knowledge accumulated by the talented people of the Mezas Clan over generations is even more astonishing.

This knowledge is now in this library.

The books housed in this Forbidden Library are magic books that record the magical knowledge passed down through generations of the Mezas Clan.

Its rarity is self-evident.

If Roswaal permitted it, I believe that all the magicians and even Spirit Sorcerer in the world would be willing to go bankrupt to exchange for a book here.

Such an important place naturally cannot be left unguarded.

The girl who calls herself Betty is an elf who has been guarding this Forbidden Library for four hundred years in accordance with a contract.

An elf like Puck.

Under such circumstances, it was one thing for Fang Li to suddenly barge in, but to actually declare in front of the girl that he wanted to see the forbidden books here was surely a provocation.

"Or are you underestimating Betty?"

The girl stretched out a small hand towards Fang Li, her eyes sparkling as if stars were twinkling within them.

"That's why Betty hates humans."

As soon as she finished speaking, the atmosphere around the girl distorted.

"Buzz—!"

Amidst the tremors in the space, the atmosphere of the entire Forbidden Library experienced intense fluctuations, converging towards Betty's outstretched hand.

Fang Li could clearly feel a force at work in the atmosphere.

"Is this magic?"

Just as witches, Magus, and Daoists in the Star Pulse Generation need to consume Star Pulse Energy to use their abilities and Star Immortal Technique, there also exists a power similar to Star Pulse Energy in this world, which is as ubiquitous as the Omni-element.

When using spells like magic, magic power is consumed.

Magic is also known as mana.

The fact that the mana in the atmosphere is now reacting to the actions of the girl who calls herself Betty proves only one thing.

That means the other party is about to use magic.

"Interesting..."

Fang Li's lips curled up, and he suddenly gripped a sharp dagger in his hand.

Ice-Blue Demon Eyes appeared in Fang Li's eyes.

"Thump—!"

The next second, centered on the girl's outstretched hand towards Fang Li, an invisible wave rippled out like a shockwave, sweeping towards Fang Li like a storm as it rubbed against the atmosphere.

Its speed is comparable to the speed of sound.

However, Fang Li had already made preparations to deal with it.

so...

"I saw it..."

The Death Lines was the shockwave that swept towards him like a storm.

"Pfft—!"

As if piercing through flesh, the sharp dagger flashed suddenly, cleaving the incoming invisible wave in two.

"What?!"

The girl was immediately taken aback.

"The magic was severed by a weapon?!"

This statement only received one response.

"It wasn't cut off, it was killed."

As soon as he finished speaking, the dagger suddenly sliced through the air. Fang Li casually tossed it out, and with a sharp whistling sound, it pierced towards the girl.
