Chapter 219: Private library

Vaasa closed the door, looked up to the ceiling on the first floor, and shouted in a clear voice an elven spell spell representing light.
"Anar!"
The chandelier hanging from the ceiling glowed and brightened.
Twelve candlesticks blessed with "Indestructible Bright Flame" were awakened at the same time, and the light emitted illuminates the spacious hall.
With the help of magic lights, Joanne saw two large and thick oak desks side by side in the center of the hall. Four armchairs were placed around the desk, which looked like a study room.
When his eyes moved across the desk to the opposite side, he could not help but overflow with surprise.
Right in front of the wall of the entrance hall, five tall bookcases were erected, and books were neatly placed on the shelves.
At a glance, the total number of books is no less than two or three thousand.
"This house is my library."
There was a trace of pride in George Vassar's words.
"The wealth of our Vassar family is not at all high in Yalfheim, but when it comes to book collection, it is another matter, even those large plantation owners with tens of thousands of acres of land are rarely in their own manor. If you build a private library, let alone collect more than 2,000 books."
Joan heard secretly.
In the Port of Leiden, the public library created by the municipal council has a collection of over 5,000 books.
The Vaasa family is not a wealthy man, and he has no less than 2,000 private collections. This is indeed a source of pride.
"Mr. Vasa... You collected these books and spent a lot of money?"
Joan regretted it as soon as he spoke, and felt that he had raised a stupid question that was both boring and marketable.
Major Vaasa didn't mind, and answered seriously: "These books were not collected by me. To be honest, I'm not a person who loves reading... Alas, I'm really sorry for the dead father and brother."
Joan listened to him telling the origin of this private library, only to learn that most of the books in the collection are the legacy of his dead father and elder brother.
Vassar’s father loves reading, and most of his savings are used to buy books.
Vassar’s eldest brother, not only inherited his father’s hobby of collecting books, but also a young scholar who graduated from Meadgard University, has spared no effort to contribute to the family library. At that time, the academic and political circles regarded Vaasa's elder brother as a bright star of tomorrow.
Unfortunately, Vassar's family did not know whether it was cursed or had a short-lived gene. Vassar's father died before the age of fifty, and Vassar's elder brother died young before the age of thirty. George Vassar Sa became the third-generation manager of this library.
"There are five bookcases in the lobby on the first floor, and six bookcases on the second floor, with a total collection of more than 2,200 books, including many books on history, geography, theology, philosophy, mathematics, and alchemy. There are also some books of knowledge, you can search for them if you are interested."
George Vasala opened the desk drawer, which was filled with wooden cards.
As with the Leiden College Library, each card corresponds to a book, with the title, author, and content brief written on the front, and the row of the shelf where the book is stored for easy reference.
"Mr. Vasa... If you need a librarian, I will be happy to serve you for free." Joan stuttered with excitement.
George Vaasa smiled and handed him the key to the library door.
"Joan, I know you are a child who loves knowledge and books very much, but the library of Leiden College is too cold for poor students. I am afraid you don’t have enough gold coins to rent books that interest you. Although my family’s collection is far away It’s not as rich as the college library, but it’s enough for you to watch for a year or two. Moreover, you don’t need to spend a copper plate. This key is for you. You are always welcome to be a guest.

Major Vaasa pointed to the ceiling above his head, and then said: "The layout of the second floor is similar to the first floor, the difference is that there is no writing desk, surrounded by bookshelves is a coffee table and a foldable sofa. Bed, if you are tired of reading and reading here, you can go upstairs and take a nap. You can live here on weekends. If you need refreshment, you will ring the bell and the servant will send you."
"This... how dare you be, you are so kind to me!" Joan couldn't help but touched his eyes flushed.
"You don't have to be polite with me, just sit down and talk."
Major Vaasa sat down opposite the writing desk and took out the tobacco bag and pipe from the pocket of his coat. He said thoughtfully:
"Yalfheim is not a peaceful world. I will return to the barracks one day. I am afraid that I won’t have time to look after this library. It’s better to let my father and brother’s life-loving books become empty and dustless. To give you such a young man who is eager to seek knowledge is also a good use."
He lit the pipe and took a deep breath, slowly exhaling a light blue 氤氲, suddenly seemed to remember something, patted his forehead, put down the pipe and jumped up, quickly walked to the corner of the bookshelf in the corner, tipped his toes from the top of the shelf Draw a dusty scroll and turn it around to Joanne.
Joan took over the slightly yellowed sheepskin scroll, and immediately noticed a hint of magical power, guessing it was an arcane scroll without opening it.
"This is a 6-ring "trigger technique" scroll, my brother's collection during his lifetime, I can't perform arcane spells, it's useless to keep this scroll, it's better to give it to you, even if you are asked to help pay for the pasture pests ."
Joan couldn't speak with excitement, and could only bow deeply to George Vassar, expressing gratitude, and the hand holding the reel shivered slightly.
He has never seen any magic up to 6 rings in his life, not to mention 6 rings of arcane scrolls. Even in the 6th Ring of Arcane, "trigger" is also known for its rareness and magic.
This spell itself has no fixed function, its role is to be able to link with other spells, so that the latter is in the "waiting for activation" state, until it meets the predetermined conditions when the "trigger" is cast, it will not be automatically activated.
For example, high-level mages often apply "trigger" and "teleport" to themselves. When they are seriously injured or accidentally attacked, "trigger" will start on their own, synchronously activate "teleport", and instantly activate the mage I sent it to a safe place hundreds of miles away, so as to escape the danger and save my life.
Of course, "trigger" is not a spell that can be linked. The spells used in conjunction with the spell must not exceed 6 rings, otherwise it will be invalidated if the upper limit of the magic energy level of the trigger spell is exceeded.
If you must link more than 6 ring spells, you can only use the 9 ring "higher trigger" or the more powerful "legend trigger".
With Joan's current knowledge reserve and wizard level, he still cannot fully understand the mystery of "trigger", but this does not prevent him from copying this precious 6-ring arcane to his spell book as a reserve for future study.
