Leonard Churchill and David parted ways, heading straight for the library.

Legend has it that eighty percent of the top-level card masters from the Southern Continent had studied at the Royal Academy, and there was a reason for that.

Leonard wasn’t the only one who studied intensively.

There were many students who visited the library in their spare time.

Among them were numerous young masters and mistresses from noble families.

These individuals were naturally talented, had abundant resources, and were hardworking; it would be strange if they weren’t powerful in the future.

Stepping through the magic light gate at the entrance, the library turned out to be a world of magical knowledge.

The ceiling was embedded with huge colorful stained glass windows, and the light from the magic lamps shone through these windows, creating rainbows of elemental light and shadow.

Upon entering, one’s eyes were met with densely packed bookshelves, which looked as spectacular as a labyrinth.

Dozens of meters high, the mahogany shelves were filled with all kinds of books.

The books were made of various materials: paper, animal leather, stone, metal; some even shimmered slightly, seemingly containing mysterious extraordinary powers.

The air was tinged with a faint scent of decaying book pages–a smell of magic lingering over the books for a long time; occasionally, one could also smell a hint of exotic herbs that came from certain classic books recording ancient black magic and alchemy…

The space inside the library was much larger than it appeared from the outside.

It was said that the library itself was not just a building but was built with many supreme treasures.

The paintings on the walls were mostly masterpieces, each containing profoundly ingrained artistic laws;

The armors casually placed in the corners of the opposing paths were ancient relics left by the intention realm of top-rank card masters;

The light from those magic lamps was the manifestation of elemental light and shadow, which allowed one to better understand the secrets of the laws;

Even the incense was made from expensive high-level demon beast materials, its scents clearing one’s memory and thoughts…

There were many such ingenious arrangements.

In short, the Royal Library hid luxurious devices that ordinary people couldn’t even begin to imagine.

Although Leonard had heard about it before, he was still astounded by the luxury of the Royal Academy the first time he came.

With such a foundation, it was possible to continuously cultivate top-tier powerhouses.

This was something the East Wilderness couldn’t even begin to compare with.

…

Having been here for a month, Leonard was already very familiar with the library environment.

He was still only on the first floor.

Most of the books here were free classic books that didn’t require credits, numbering in the billions.

Estimating that a person would need hundreds to thousands of years just to finish reading the books on this level.

Moreover, every day, a large volume of classic books and ancient relics material was continuously sent from various places in the Southern Continent, organized and recorded, and the number was still increasing.

The library was very quiet; students selected their own classic books and found a quiet place to read.

Leonard returned the several classic books he borrowed yesterday.

Then he went up the stairs to the second floor.

The second floor was mostly frequented by older students and major nobles.

Because almost all the books on the second floor were “paid books,” and… there were also paid reading rooms.

Without enough credits, one simply didn’t have the privilege to stay up there.

But Leonard’s entrance reward of one hundred thousand credits now came in very handy.

Leonard, although a new student this year, was a celebrity at the academy, recognized by many.

Especially since he was a regular in the library, coming every day and frequently seen by others.

However, he wasn’t given any friendly faces.

Entering the trials too high-profile, and with Duke Landon’s nation-building drawing much hatred, Leonard, a knight from this family, also suffered from various disdainful looks and contempt.

In other students’ eyes, he figured there must be a label on his head that read: “Upstart with 100,000 credits!”

But Leonard thought it was just as well.

Without those useless social interactions, he could concentrate, quietly reading.

Leonard had already been to the second floor many times and adeptly swiped his student card.

Then he walked into the barrier.

It still had rows and rows of bookshelves.

However, the difference here was that the space was not like regular white paper but was like a kaleidoscope of fragmented spaces.

The entire second floor was like a giant honeycomb.

Leonard was skilled in the Space Law, he could tell that this was a kind of spatial barrier, or perhaps… some sort of top-tier spatial relic.

There were “individual reading rooms” here.

Leonard exchanged for one.

Fifty credits per hour.

Meaning, the credits an ordinary student accumulated in a day of classes would only suffice for an hour here.

But since regular day credits needed to be exchanged for resources, few could afford such luxury.

Leonard’s 100,000 credits gave him the confidence to splurge.

Holding the tag in the void, his surroundings transformed into an individual small room.

Outside the glass window were birds chirping and flowers fragrant, with a gentle breeze fluttering newly green branches; the perfectly timed sunlight cast mottled tree shadows on the rustic wooden desk through the glass…

Although he knew it was an illusory scene, one couldn’t help but feel utterly refreshed and relaxed upon entering the room.

It was very suitable for quietly reading.

This individual reading room wasn’t just a small room.

Its most important function was to aid in learning and maintain confidentiality!

As soon as he entered the room, a “Enlightenment +1” halo appeared on Leonard’s panel.

This was the primary reason why there was a charge for the room.

The enhancement of enlightenment had indescribable benefits for studying and practicing transcendence.

Leonard had been here many times already.

Upon arriving in the room, he quietly observed the environment.
