Ark Simulator, Don't I Lack a Physical Form?

"It depends on the situation. If it's very complicated, even I need time."

After a pause, Su Rui said, "The complexity I'm referring to isn't the difficulty of the knowledge itself, but rather that if those foundational rites involve unique scripts and grammar, or even symbols created by a writer that only they know, then the process of organizing them will be affected."

Su Rui's words were echoed by Lamalain: "Those ancient texts are impossible for us to organize precisely because of their chaotic grammar and many incomprehensible symbols. Of course, another reason is that there are simply too many of these texts."

"I think this large library already has a lot of books, compared to all the ones displayed outside."

"Of course, it can't compare to all the ones outside, but actually, the difference isn't that much."

Lamalain spoke, after the Banshee brought some snacks, she handed the basket to Su Rui and then led the way:

"Let's go, I'll take you there."

Prince of Kazdel: The Hobbies of the 325 Banshee

Those seemingly aloof and serene Banshee, who appeared to care about nothing but books, were actually quite talented at spreading gossip.

When Su Rui and Theresa followed Lamalain to the library on the lower level of the tower, they saw a circle of Banshee staring at them, and many of Banshee were pushing and shoving to get a clearer view.

However, they were quite well-behaved in front of Lamalain. When Lamalain walked past them, the Banshee immediately quieted down and just silently watched Su Rui and Theresa. When Su Rui looked over curiously, she smiled at Su Ru.

"..." Then Lamalain led Su Rui and Theresa to the three Banshee, where they saw three banshees with bruised and swollen faces, Banshee clothes stained with charred or damp marks.

The three Banshee, aware that their behavior was somewhat inappropriate, greeted Lamalain with awkward smiles.

"We are the librarians who will lead you to the library today. Please follow us."

"Be more careful next time." Lamalain sighed helplessly, not pursuing the matter too much. After all, even she couldn't resist Banshee's thirst for knowledge; it was a normal phenomenon, wasn't it?

At least for now, these Banshee are only fighting and squabbling over each other; they haven't really gotten into a real fight.

Then, the three Banshee led Lamalain, Theresa, and Su Rui towards the basement of the tower.

So the basement must be pitch black, and they probably only use candlelight for lighting, right? I'd go blind working in that kind of environment.

Although Su Rui was actually using his Scanning Vision to gather intelligence, this dark environment was indeed not suitable for him... Well, not exactly. The sheer darkness actually gave Su Rui a sense of security, but reading in a dimly lit environment was just too uncomfortable.

Theresa noticed Su Rui's emotions, who was standing right next to her. She looked at him with a puzzled expression, then gently squeezed Su Rui's hand to soothe Su Rui.

"I'm fine." Su Rui turned to look at Theresa and tried to speak to her in a low voice.

However, given the Banshee ' keen hearing, Lamalain overheard Su Rui's words. The Banshee queen turned around in confusion and asked, "What's wrong? If you have any questions about this deal, we can still talk."

"Okay, what's your basement like? I don't like dark environments, not some pitch-black basement with only a few candles."

Lamalain couldn't help but chuckle at Su Rui's words, "So, where would you like to do the tidying up?"

"If possible, I'd like to work in a sunny meadow, and without mosquitoes."

Seeing that Lamalain seemed genuinely interested in taking his advice, Su Rui made a request that was almost impossible to fulfill.

After all, the Banshee Valley in Kazdel is quite humid, so it's not suitable to take the books out; the ancient texts might get damaged.

The other dry places are all places where the Kazdel war is raging, so we can't work there.

However, Su Rui noticed that the three Banshee leading the way all turned to look at her with shining eyes, then turned to look at Lamalain:

"We can do that!"

They couldn't possibly bring the books and me directly to the grasslands, could they?

Su Rui looked puzzled, then saw Lamalain nod. "In that case, it's up to you to fulfill Su Rui's requests from now on."

"We understand!" The Banshee, far from being upset about being assigned tasks, were actually quite pleased, looking at Su Rui as if she were some kind of treasure.

It seemed they really enjoyed reading, so Su Rui stopped worrying about it and simply decided to see how they planned to achieve their goals.

So, following the three Banshee, they arrived at the basement. As the magical light shone, Su Rui discovered that the basement was even more spacious than the top of the tower.

The ceiling was six or seven meters high, and there were all sorts of books piled up on bookshelves that reached the ceiling, some of which were items with inscriptions and symbols.

The lighting is actually quite bright now, so it seems the Banshee aren't the type to read in dark environments.

Then, Su Rui saw the three Banshee each take their staffs and go back into their houses.

What should have been solid walls around them gradually transformed into a spacious and bright grassland as the Banshee cast their spells, with even a sun hanging overhead.

Apart from the bookshelves and the books on them, and the fact that the collection remains unchanged, this basement is almost unrecognizable as it was originally.

Such magic was not so simple for the three Banshee. After casting the spell Su Rui saw that they had to put down their staffs and catch their breath.

Driven by curiosity, Su Rui went to where the wall should have been, Scanning Vision showed that the layout had not actually changed.

I gently reached out and touched it, and sure enough, I touched a cold wall. The so-called grassland under the sun was just an illusion.

However, Su Rui was quite satisfied; the only downside was that casting the spell required a lot of effort from the caster.

Su Rui glanced at the three Banshee who were watching him nervously, and nodded to them:

"In that case, I'll get right to work."

"Alright!" Hearing Su Rui say this, the three Banshee perked up and, disregarding their exhaustion, immediately got up and went to Su Rui, wanting to help him.

"Where would you like to start? We'll get the books for you right away!"

"No need, you guys should rest first. And you guys, aren't you tired of standing like that?"

Su Rui found a chair and sat down, glancing at Theresa and Lamalain standing not far away. "I'm going to start working now. Make yourselves at home. Oh, and I'd like some hot drinks."

After speaking, Su Rui leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes, looking more like a tired student wanting to take a break than someone focused on work.

Lamalain and the three Banshee were all somewhat puzzled. Noticing Lamalain's gaze, Theresa smiled and gently placed her index finger to her lips, "Shh~ Don't disturb Su Rui, this is his magic."

Although it's not actually magic, this makes it easier for them to understand.

Lamalain nodded. "Organizing these books will take a lot of time. Would you like to go have another cup of tea with me?"

"No, I'll stay here with Su Rui. By the way, do you have any furniture like a sofa? It would be more comfortable to sit here."

Theresa looked at Su Rui, who hadn't said anything but seemed somewhat dissatisfied with the hard chair; her ability to sense emotions was quite useful.

Prince of Kazdel: 326 will take a little while.

"Hmm?" Lamalain glanced in Su Rui's direction and immediately understood Theresa's method, but she didn't let the three Banshee do it.

After all, the spell had almost burned these three newborn Banshee to ashes.

"You all rest here. I'll call a few more people in." With that, Lamalain cast a communication spell again, contacting the Banshee outside.

Soon, two more Banshee arrived at the underground library using magic, accompanied by sofas, tables, and other furniture that were suspended in mid-air. After being surprised by the "sunny" appearance of the underground library, the two Banshee began to arrange the layout of the central area.

After all, the library needs to be kept as dry as possible, so the living area should be kept away from the books.

After about an hour or two, the furniture and the accompanying spells had been arranged. Su Rui also temporarily snapped out of her thoughts of scanning and organizing the data, and got up to walk towards the bookshelf.

"Alright, so you don't think I'm just sitting here slacking off, I'll show you some of the results first."

Su Rui picked up an entire row of books from the bookshelf... It was a bit heavy, so he wanted to readjust them, and then a helpful Banshee came over to help him:

"Oh dear, you don't need to do these things. I'll help." "Me too."

And so, with the help of the Banshee, the entire row of books was placed on the large, decorated table in the center. Su Rui glanced at the soft sofa, but did not sit down for the moment. Instead, under the watchful eyes of Lamalain, Theresa, and the other Banshee, she went to the table and arranged the entire row of books one by one, like a street vendor setting up a stall.

It was only then that Su Rui noticed why these books were so heavy; many of them had metal edging or the entire cover was made of metal.

Some books, when opened, have pages that are made of some kind of soft metal, and are incredibly heavy.

... I was too focused on organizing the materials before; I should have paid a little more attention to the condition of the books themselves.

Without dwelling on the matter too much, under the eager gazes of the Banshee, Su Rui took out the directly translated document from her System Space:

"This is a translation based on the current Kazdel language, so there may be slight differences in some places. You should pay attention when you read it."

As she spoke, Su Rui placed the bound translated books one by one on top of their respective original versions, carefully arranging them.

Under the astonished gazes of the Banshee and even Lamalain, Su Rui clapped her hands:

"Alright, although I've compiled even more, this should keep you occupied for a while. Don't think I'm sleeping while I'm sitting there."

After speaking, Su Rui walked to the table next to him, picked up some snacks and drinks, and sat comfortably on the soft sofa, intending to take a break. However, this did not affect his continued collection of intelligence and information.

From these ancient documents, Su Rui learned a great deal. Of course, these ancient documents were not as old as those of the Previous Civilization. Among the six Banshee present, including Lamalain, most of them picked up the books translated by Su Rui and began to read them. They soon realized that the translation Su Rui spoke of was completely accurate, faithful, and elegant, not some awkward machine translation.

However, there were also more clever Banshee, or perhaps more flexible-minded ones? In any case, one Banshee didn't go to read the book but instead came to Su Rui Su Rui's side, bringing her more snacks and drinks, and then moved closer to Su Rui:

Is there anything else you need?

"Cunning fellow!" Before Su Rui could say anything, he felt the other Banshee looking at the Banshee beside him with that kind of gaze.

However, the Banshee in front of them seemed to know that things would develop this way, but she still leaned against Su Rui, waiting for Su Rui's answer.

Seeing that the other Banshee seemed poised to surround them, in order to prevent the situation from escalating further, Su Rui quickly spoke up:

"Alright, everyone stay away. I'll tell you what you need directly. I have plenty more on hand, and I'll bring out more after you've finished reviewing them. Now, don't disturb me while I'm organizing the materials."

After Su Rui finished speaking, the Banshee became much more subdued, and Su Rui was able to relax and look at Theresa sitting next to him.

Turning her head to glance at the side, she saw the Banshee, including Lamalain, engrossed in reading the books translated by Su Rui. Banshee Su Rui wondered if they would notice if she pinched their ears at this moment.

However, Su Rui had no intention of actually doing it. Considering how she felt when she was disturbed while playing games, she could guess what the consequences would be if she disturbed these Banshee.

So Su Rui picked up a snack, raised an eyebrow at Theresa, and gestured for her to have some too.

In the quiet library, where only the sound of turning pages could be heard, Su Rui didn't really want to talk.

Theresa smiled, but instead of reaching for the pastry basket, Su Rui Su Rui snatched the pastry from her mouth just as Su Rui was about to eat it.

"Huh?" Su Rui looked at Theresa with a puzzled expression. "You're going to take all these snacks from my mouth, aren't you? I almost ate them."

The feeling of having his food snatched from a tiger's mouth made Su Rui very uncomfortable, but he didn't make a scene with Theresa in such a quiet environment. He simply picked up another pastry and glared at Theresa with annoyance.

However, Su Rui hadn't forgotten about this. Just as Theresa relaxed and reached for another pastry, Su Rui suddenly bumped into her and ate the pastry from Theresa's hand in one bite.

Su Rui glanced smugly at Theresa, then looked in the direction of the Banshee, and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that they were still reading and hadn't noticed her.

However, from Theresa's perspective, the Banshee were actually just pretending to read when Su Rui turned her head to look. Even Lamalain was the same, secretly laughing when Su Rui couldn't see her.

Although they love knowledge, the Banshee also collect news, so they are naturally interested in gossip and the like.

Furthermore, recording Theresa's life as the Demon King can also be considered a form of historical documentation, right?

However, Theresa asked in a low voice, somewhat curious, "Su Rui, aren't you using your Scanning Vision right now?"

"Do you think these documents are so easy to translate?" Su Rui rolled her eyes. "They're full of abstract symbols. I'm putting all my energy into comparison and analysis right now."

Prince of Kazdel: 327 actually feels a bit slow.

Theresa nodded, and exchanged a subtle glance with Lamalain, both of them smiling.

Lamalain's teasing made Theresa feel somewhat embarrassed that her thoughts had been exposed.

The translation and calibration work continued until evening, and Su Rui even took out her phone to kill time out of boredom.

At this moment, it was also time for the Banshee in the underground library to have their dinner. Although they were a little reluctant, they put down the books in their hands and looked at Su Rui.

Would you like us to prepare dinner for you? Or you can come and eat at our restaurant.

"Is the Valley of Tears served with meals provided by the government?"

"Of course not, it's just that library staff get these perks." Lamalain smiled, glancing at Su Rui wasn't planning to get up.

"Then we'll bring you two dinners." With that, Lamalain and the other Banshee got up and headed outside, winking at Theresa as she did so. "We'll be back soon. If you need to rest, there are rooms in the library. Oh, and there's also a place to rest in the underground vault; it's just been renovated."

The meaning of "Lamalain" was understood by almost everyone present. The young Banshee couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle. Su Rui glanced up at them and continued playing their game, leaving Theresa alone in the quiet atmosphere, feeling a little awkward.

However, although she was a little nervous, Theresa noticed that Su Rui didn't seem to care much about it.

So Theresa tentatively nudged Su Rui with her shoulder.

"What? If you want to, at least wait until I finish this game."

Su Rui responded to Theresa without turning his head, as if he had known from the beginning what Theresa wanted to do.

"... Su Rui, do you know what I'm talking about?" Theresa was a little embarrassed by Su Rui's unwavering attitude, so she tentatively asked Su Rui, carefully observing the expression on Su Rui face.

"I'm not some clueless child. Lamalain said those things just now because she realized you had ulterior motives towards me, right?"

"How can that be called plotting something sinister? I just... I just..."

Theresa was taken aback by what Su Rui said, her heart raced, and she instinctively tried to defend herself.

"This is just normal affection that has developed after spending time with Su Rui. There's nothing wrong with wanting to be intimate with you, right? How can that be called having ulterior motives?"
