My Apocalypse Territory -
Chapter 510 - 461: Returning to the City Transportation Method
"This place is reserved for us,"
In front of the library's entrance, several Awakeners wearing black armor, with eyes sharp as eagles, blocked Tang Yu's path.
They were speaking in a language he couldn't understand.
Their expressions were unfriendly.
Tang Yu believed that if it weren't for the fact that they were outnumbered, the group of Awakeners opposite them would not just be speaking coldly but would have started a fight directly.
But,
he had no intention of communicating. Exuding his imposing aura, the few members of his Personal Guard understood and stepped forward a few paces, their heavy fists swinging out directly.
"Let's go, get inside." Tang Yu was worried that the books would be damaged by those people, not everyone knew how to lift the restrictions.
…
The moment he stepped inside the library, his mind immediately received a message.
"With the Hexagonal Pattern, books can be borrowed within the library, with a maximum of five books at a time."
With the pattern on the back of their hand, Awakeners could freely enter and leave the library, but it's obvious that borrowing too many books was not feasible to take away, hence the Sakura Country Awakeners violently broke the library's defensive restrictions.
As soon as they entered, they saw the Sakura Country Awakeners directly knocking down the bookshelves, and the books were tumbling down one after another, spilling into the prepared hide bags below.
Some books fell outside, becoming wrinkled, and some were accidentally torn, splitting apart directly.
In the distance, a bookshelf that held more important books had defensive restrictions.
The Sakura Country Awakeners controlled their power to strike, but as the restrictions were destroyed, the inner energy burst forth, and the books on the entire bookshelf were annihilated.
Tang Yu's eyes reddened with anger.
His heart was bleeding!
His books!
They dared to damage his books!
Unforgivable!
A streak of Flame Sword Qi flew from his fingertips, whizzing past and leaving blood holes in the foreheads of several Sakura Country Awakeners.
The others, without needing orders, immediately charged.
This group of Sakura Country people, numbering in the dozens, belonged to a famous Super Force in the area.
They had also excavated several Secret Realms and knew that these books, which recorded various techniques, were the most precious to a force, as they could greatly strengthen the foundation and power of the force!
He also knew that there were too many books in the library to take them all.
Therefore, they acted with the fastest speed, taking as many as they could, and were not distressed about the accidental destruction—whatever they couldn't take away, they would destroy, so no one else would benefit.
Until another group of people burst into the library.
The leader of the force, with the aura of emerging from mountains of corpses and seas of blood, violently erupted.
The formless, surging energy, centered on him, exploded, blowing away several bookshelves.
His presence was as fierce as a tiger,
His gaze was as piercing as lightning,
As he raised his hand, tightly gripping his weapon, a deadly sense of crisis surged from his spine to his crown chakra, causing his body to stiffen, and by the time he had barely reacted, a sharp pain erupted in his chest.
Upon looking down,
A sharp sword blade had pierced through his heart.
…
Seeing the opponent's aura burst forth, causing one bookshelf after another to collapse, Tang Yu couldn't control the primordial force in his palms.
"Instant Step," "Instant Movement Continuous Stabbing," he exploded in an instant, even more focused than during previous battles.
This person, also considered a strong contender within the tier of Awakening Perfection, was killed without any resistance.
Eileen herself took action, her ice power surged, and in an instant, dozens of Sakura Country Awakeners were frozen into ice sculptures.
Not a trace of power leaked.
…
Soon,
The people moving the books, changed from Sakura Country Awakeners to Green Shadow Awakeners, and the speed was even faster.
This library had a total of fifty floors, each one ten meters tall.
And each floor was filled with countless bookshelves.
Among them were bookshelves with individual restrictions, and those contained Rune Language Books.
Tang Yu found that the books on the bookshelves were not densely packed.
Some bookshelves might have only a few books, and some were even empty—perhaps many books had been borrowed, and when the disaster struck years ago, some must have been taken away.
Even so, the library still had a vast array of books.
Tang Yu could only have his team prioritize taking away various technical books... As for biographies and novels, although they could also give indirect knowledge of that era, there was no time to care about them, at most taking some history books.
He asked Nancy to stay outside the library, while his Awakeners put books into Space Backpacks, or large hemp bags.
He himself worked with Eileen to quickly crack the seals on some bookshelves—having the "Insight Eye," Tang Yu was also capable of this task.
Before long,
Two other teams, having received the news, rushed over, and with the addition of Kevin and a group of rune masters, the speed of breaking the seals increased significantly.
One by one, the bookshelves were being emptied at the fastest pace.
"Director, we might not have enough Space Backpacks."
A member of the Investigation Corps who was an Awakener approached him.
A medium-sized backpack held twenty cubic meters, two for each person, so three hundred people had twelve thousand cubic meters—quite an enormous capacity. Yet, compared to the endless books here, perhaps, maybe, it truly might not be enough.
Unless only a part was taken.
Moreover, only a fraction of the Holy City had been explored, and some space had to be reserved for other treasures.
This meant even less room in the Space Backpacks for books, and his own pendant with hundreds of cubic meters capacity was of little help.
Tang Yu frowned.
Giving up was out of the question—he wanted it all.
"Like this, first pack them into bags or boxes."
Tang Yu approached a large hemp bag filled with neatly packed books, the top of which was already sealed.
He pulled out a Return City Scroll and stuck it on the hemp bag.
Then he took two steps back.
He channeled Source Power and remotely activated the scroll.
Whoosh!
The glow of returning to the city enveloped the hemp bag, and the next moment, it vanished without a trace.
Success!
Members of the Investigation Corps who were present gaped in disbelief. A Return City Scroll could be used like this? No wonder he was Director Tang; his way of thinking was truly unique!
Tang Yu didn't know what they were thinking, otherwise he'd certainly kick them.
This was clearly wisdom—innovation outside the conventional framework!
Even he was a bit impressed with himself.
...
Mage Alliance, Chief Elder Oldington Harris, was holding an ancient map.
A Holy City map (fragmented), preserved through long years along with the Floating Airship blueprints.
"There are many treasure lands and opportunities in the Holy City, places countless people dream of. But for us, those opportunities that can quickly enhance our strength aren't important."
"We are heading to this place."
He pointed to a large area on the map labeled—Holy City: Cultivator Academy.
"For us Mages, the books in the Academy's library are our real opportunity; perhaps it possesses countless blueprints, including the technology to build the Floating City."
The Chief Elder could no longer remember whether it had been three hundred or five hundred years since he felt this excited!
The last time he was this thrilled was when he was researching the Floating Airship blueprints.
He felt like he had grown eight hundred years younger in an instant.
Accompanied by his assistant and dozens of Mages and Great Mages who had awakened at headquarters, he headed straight for the Academy's library.
"I see it, I see it!"
Oldington Harris's eyes shone brightly, and with a single stride of Instant Teleportation, he covered several thousand meters and appeared right at the library's entrance.
After slightly calming his excited emotions,
He straightened his mage robe,
Adjusted his pointed mage hat,
And as he walked in, he saw rows of bookshelves and on the shelves… where were the books???
