The first week of school has passed, Landen successfully passed the Kingdom history exam on the afternoon of Friday the 15th, and his court etiquette has become more standard and proficient under the guidance of Ms. Grande·Lanyuan.

According to the lady's plan, Landen will have only a few days scheduled next week. On Monday and Wednesday mornings, she will go to the Royal Palace to familiarize herself with the situation on the day of the canonization ceremony and participate in the rehearsal. After the rehearsal on Wednesday, she will go to meet her boss, Court Count.

Although McLaren·Blue Dragon and Count Bristle-Wolf have already conveyed Landen's attitude of not intending to stay in the palace, but Landen, as Court Viscount, will also have an official position: Dragon Terrace Mountain Temple guard Deputy Captain.

There are dozens of Dragon Terrace Mountain's guards based on different superiors, different sources and different tasks, and dozens of Court Viscount like Landen are appointed or named to these teams.

And Landen needs to go see his own garrison captain on Wednesday afternoon, who is responsible for the Priest area on Dragon Tooth Terrace mountain, Corbin·Joasen Count.

In addition to the daytime activities, Landen also needs to attend the year-end dances of the Blue Dragon Family and the school on Tuesday and Thursday nights, and needs to buy himself a dress before Monday for various activities next week.

But even though it seems like there is a lot of schedule, after all, the course is over and you can arrange more time by yourself every day. Landen can also go to his store in Royal Capital every afternoon.

Because the school here is also closed on Saturdays and Sundays, students will go home early on Friday afternoon, so after dinner on Friday, Landen, who was unable to attend the class, decided to go to Blue Dragon School's library to find books about Magic Fairy.

The library in Blue Dragon School is an independent building with a Gothic tower and a 9-story main building.

The entire wall of bookshelves, huge chandeliers, and smooth wooden floors allow Landen to truly appreciate the heritage of the school that has been run by Legend for hundreds of years.

Landen asked the library administrator about Magic Fairy's books on the first floor. The administrator asked Landen to try his luck on the fifth floor, which has the most books related to magical creatures.

When making the magic elevator, Landen carefully compared the similarities and differences between the magic drive and the electric drive in the previous life. It felt that the structure was basically the same. The real transmission device was located outside the elevator cage and controlled the up and down of the cage through the magic array. However, Landen did not understand how such an elevator transmits signals.

On the fifth-floor turret, there is a 30-meter-high dome. In addition to the wall bookshelves, rows of 10-meter-high bookshelves neatly divide the space into long passages.

The first thing Landen found were very basic books on magical creatures, such as what magical creatures are, the habits and introductions of magical creatures in different regions, records of reports on the discovery of magical creatures in various places, etc.

If you search deeper, you can find relatively deep and practical books. If you continue searching, you can even find some Magic Scroll.

With a crisp sound of "pop", Landen turned around and saw a stack of books in the open space between the bookshelves. Books were piled together like a mountain. Except for the tip of a tail protruding from the many books, it was really hard to see that the 3-meter-tall Dragonborn could be accommodated inside.

The sound just now was probably the sound of a book falling down. Landen guessed that maybe the Dragon Lady was lying down reading a book. She didn't expect that she came over, so she piled herself up in this way to avoid embarrassment?

Landen really wants to go there, but suddenly the image of a dragon nesting in a pile of money comes to mind. Maybe this is Dragon Race's habit?

"Teacher Gleia, are you here?" Landen probed.

"..." Gleia did not answer, but the slight wagging of its tail proved that Landen did not admit his mistake.

"I want to know more about Magic Fairy. Do you know where there is such a book?" Landen felt that Dragonborn Mage was definitely not knocked down by a book, and there was no need to rescue her by himself.

"..." Gleia still didn't speak, but after a moment, a thin booklet was taken out from a bookshelf by Magic Power's hand and delivered to Landen's hand.

"Thank you." Although there was still no reply, Landen saw the tip of Gleia's tail patting the ground twice.

The booklet was very general about Magic Fairy's records. Landen just found a place to sit down and was almost finished flipping through it.

The entire book only records that Magic Fairy originated from Magic Web and is the embodiment of Magic Web's will. It was born from an environment rich in single or multiple magic attributes and can enhance specific magic attributes within about 20-300 square meters.

Magic Fairy can be divided into four levels: fairy, Great Fairy, Fairy Queen, and Fairy Immortal. Ordinary Magic Fairy are all kinds of Elemental Fairy, with a lifespan of 10 to 20 years, has a certain degree of autonomy, and its magical abilities roughly correspond to the level of intermediate to Advanced Mage, but the magical effects it can produce are limited to the elemental magic of the goblin itself.

The fairy description is simple, and Great Fairy's description is even simpler. I only know that it is an ordinary fairy who breaks through and can reach the level of Archmage, and Fairy Queen can reach the level of Legend. The fairy spirit can reach the level of Subordinate God, which is Goddess of the Magic Web Vili Subordinate God of His Majesty.

The description in the booklet is more about the classification of ordinary Magic Fairy: elemental type, plant type (life type) and an unknown type that may exist. Elemental type is ubiquitous in nature, while plant type is born in places with abundant trees and plants.

Due to the close connection between Magic Fairy and Magic Web, Plant Fairy can promote the growth and mutation of nearby plants 200 meters away, turning the plants into Magic Plant. Therefore, the plant/Life Fairy is widely sought after by nobles, and many nobles will offer heavy rewards to anyone who discovers Plant Fairy.

Elemental Fairy, including water, fire, rock, earth, wind, ice and snow, etc., was born in a place rich in corresponding magical elements. If there are too many magical elements in an area, it will cause challenges to the human living environment.

Therefore, the nobles generally do not like Elemental Fairy, but they also need to ask Territory Residents to hand over Elemental Fairy to them in order to seal these goblins. The lifespan of goblins is only 10 years. As long as they are sealed, the goblins will naturally disappear.

Of course, if there are enough elements in a place, then not just one goblin will be born, but goblins may be born continuously for several years to decades. This requires the lord to know the locations with abundant elemental magic in the territory and continuously strengthen inspections.

At the end of the booklet, a few places in the Kingdom that are rich in magical elements were mentioned, and then the book, which I had just read for 10 minutes, was turned to the last page.

"There's not even a picture, and it's not as detailed as what Albert told me." Landen looked at the booklet and was very depressed.

"That book contains a lot of knowledge." Gleia came from behind, elegantly as if nothing had happened.

Gleia Today is also wearing a light blue shirt with a gray plaid sweater on top, a dark blue jacket on the outside, and a knee-length red, blue, and gray plaid skirt on the lower body, giving her a strong student style.

If it weren't for the beautiful tail with black scales behind Dragon Girl and the slightly raised tail tip, Landen would have the illusion of returning to his former unit.

"You said this book lacks a lot of knowledge?" Landen looked at Gleia's tail in a daze.

"Yes." Dragon Girl noticed Landen's eyes, but didn't care too much. "The knowledge about Magic Fairy in this book only tells Low-Rank professionals that there are magical creatures like Magic Fairy. Most of the other knowledge has been skipped.

Not only that, I'm afraid this is the only book about Magic Fairy you can find in the library."

"Ah?" Landen was a little reluctant.

"The description of Magic Fairy in this book is brief, because this book was written by Apprentice, a Archmage. He has only seen Magic Fairy, but does not know much about this magical creature, so the content of the book is very brief, otherwise it would not be here.

Those who are familiar with Magic Fairy may not want others to know the mystery of Magic Fairy and only pass it down by word of mouth in their families; or they may be believers of Vili His Majesty. Writing Magic Fairy is to record the miracles of His Majesty, and naturally they will not be placed in the library." Dragon Girl said with a smile.

In short, knowledge is far more valuable than Landen imagined, especially knowledge related to magic, which is more valuable than ordinary skills. Landen now understands why Albert yearns for Tower of Purity so much.
