Chapter 540: Stretching Paw Sword Saint
Swordflower College, Flower Library.
Similar to the Forest Library, the Flower Library fulfills students’ longing to read among the blossoms. Designed with five floors, its exterior walls are made of refracting prisms. Whether the sky is illuminated by a luminous star or a lunar star, light filters in from all directions, offering sunrise in the morning, blazing sun at noon, warm sun in the afternoon, and moonlight in the evening.
There are no bookshelves in the Flower Library. Flowers are all around, and books lie beneath the flowerbed. Students need to find their designated flower according to a number. When pulling out a book, the flower transforms into a protective book cover, and when placed back, it returns to being a flower. Hence, the library requires no additional Protective Miracle for books.
Unlike those who lounge in the shade, basking in the fresh ambiance while reading, Sonya sits upright at a long table, surrounded by a dozen books: “Star Journey,” “Unscientific Spirit,” “This Dream is Too Real,” “The Eerie Sorcerer”… Though numerous, none qualify as reference books; they mostly consist of essays and travelogues by sorcerers.
Although Stars has not locked away information above the sanctuary level, it is still challenging for ordinary sorcerers to access such intelligence-the sanctuary sorcerers haven’t organized it.
For one, sanctuary sorcerers believe there’s nothing worth sharing. Sonya has encountered the sentiment of “you’ll understand what the Distant Sky Domain is when you reach it” more than once in travelogues. Even Professor Trozan, when discussing the Third Layer of the Virtual Realm, expressed a sentiment of “there’s nothing to discuss, just push through.”
After all, to ordinary people, even the least competent sanctuary sorcerer seems like a genius. To them, the mechanisms of the Distant Sky Domain are too trivial to note. Though they face hardships there, enduring challenges is part of being a sorcerer. Who becomes a sorcerer expecting an easy life?
If the Distant Sky Domain were an exam paper, at worst they couldn’t solve it, but the questions themselves are understandable by anyone, so documenting them seems unnecessary.
As for creating a guide for solving the problems, sanctuary sorcerers can’t compile one-because the questions in the Distant Sky Domain’s exam are constantly changing.
