I traveled through time and space and became the Archbishop of Stormwind!

"Wow......"

Akali Tasha couldn't help but let out a low exclamation.

"It's so strange here..."

Alvin was also deeply shocked, but he quickly came to his senses.

They were here to find Azuregos and Stellagosa, not to visit the library.

"Excuse me, excuse me."

He spoke to several heavy tomes floating in front of him, then carefully reached out and tried to gently push them away.

When the books were touched, they scattered like frightened fish, flew around him, and then gathered together somewhere else.

Alvin and Akalitraza struggled to make their way through this ocean of books, their eyes searching everywhere.

Soon, Alvin discovered a puzzling problem - there were no steps or passages leading upwards!

All around, apart from the towering bookshelves and flying magic books, there are only the mirror-smooth tower walls engraved with runes.

They walked along the edge of the hall for a while, and all they touched was cold stone that contained powerful magic, with no sign of any hidden mechanism.

"Strange, doesn't the owner of the tower ever need to go up or down stairs?"

Alvin muttered to himself, his voice sounding a little weak in the empty hall.

"Or is there some kind of magical mechanism or secret code that we haven't discovered yet? Oh, if only Calpurnia were here, she'd be the best at deciphering these strange arcane tricks..."

Just as the two of them were wandering around aimlessly in this vast library like headless flies looking for clues, several particularly naughty magic books - a "Essence of Astrology and Divination" as thick as a brick, a "Summary of the Water Elemental Contract" with blue ink dripping continuously, and a "Whisper of the Dreadlord" with a screaming human face pattern on the cover - were chasing and playing and flying by, and with a "bang", they hit the back of Akalitrassa's head one after another.

"Ouch!"

The little red dragon felt pain and immediately became furious.

She was already full of anger in this place where she couldn't find the way, and now it was completely ignited.

"You lousy books! How dare you bump into me!"

She angrily grabbed the books that were trying to slip away, and without thinking, threw them towards the distant bookshelf!

However, something strange happened.

The books did not hit the bookshelf, but seemed to hit the air wall during their flight.

They suddenly stopped in the air, and the pages began to flip automatically and frantically. Then, thousands of magic books that were flying freely around them stopped moving at the same time, and changed directions in unison, like iron filings attracted by a magnet, turning into a torrent of colors and suddenly shooting towards the same point!

Countless books, scrolls, and glowing crystals collided and merged crazily at that point. Dazzling arcane light burst out instantly, like the birth of a small sun. The powerful energy fluctuations shook the air in the entire hall!

The light quickly shrank and took shape, and finally condensed into an incomparably huge magical creature composed entirely of flowing arcane energy and countless rotating pages and runes!

This creature has a strange appearance, a bit like the blue fat man summoned by the warlock, but it is very large and the color is different.

Its entire body is composed of a constant flow of blue and silver arcane energy, as if woven from liquid starlight.

Countless magic books shining with various colors of light covered its surface like armor, and the pages rustled without wind.

There was no clear face on its head, only two huge spots of light made up of the whitest arcane energy, like eyes, which were "staring" at Alvin and Akalitrassa.

Its arms are two surging torrents of energy composed of countless tiny runes. It has no feet, and its lower body is a rotating energy whirlwind that holds its huge body up and floats in the air, looking extremely majestic.

Akalissa and Alvin were startled by this sudden change and immediately subconsciously assumed a fighting stance.

The little red dragon let out a threatening growl from its throat, sparks already flying from the corners of its mouth. Alvin also gripped his staff tightly, and holy light energy began to gather around him.

However, the giant magical creature did not attack.

Its huge face made of energy seemed to reveal an expression of interest.

"Emmmm... the combination of a dragon and a human... is truly rare. The last time a guest broke into this library was 3,721 years ago."

Seeing this magical creature speak, Alvin was filled with doubt and asked loudly, "Who are you? Where is Lord Azuregos?"

The magical creature let out a laugh that sounded like the simultaneous flipping of countless pages. "I am Norem, the keeper of wisdom, the guardian of books, and Mr. Azuregos's most loyal steward. I am responsible for all matters concerning this library."

It waved its arm, which was made of a torrent of runes, to indicate the endless sea of ​​books around it.

"I've noticed you since you first stepped into the tower. Unfortunately, my master is currently performing an extremely important magical ritual, and he has specifically instructed that no one should disturb you."

Alvin quickly stepped forward and explained eagerly, "Lord Norim! I am Alvin Priest! Lord Azuregos performed this magical ritual to communicate with Malygos, the Blue Dragon King, at my request! The situation outside is urgent, and I am extremely worried about his safety. I must see him immediately to confirm whether the ritual went smoothly!"

The magical creature calling itself Norim was silent for a moment.

"Well... according to my records, there is no temporary access permission for 'Human Priest Alvin'. The clearance is very low... However, the core directive 'Do Not Disturb' has a higher priority... I'm sorry, young human, I cannot disobey the master's direct order."

Its eyes made of energy flickered.

"If you insist on going to the top-floor observatory where the master is, then you must first get past me. Because the only way to get there is through a portal opened by me personally."

Upon hearing this, Akalitraza immediately took a step forward, striking a standard dragon fighting stance, her fighting spirit high. "Come on, then! A fight, eh? I'm not afraid of you!"

However, Norim seemed confused. Its massive energy head tilted, and countless pages rustled at the movement. "Fight? Why fight? Violence is the least effective solution and will damage the precious collection. This is absolutely not allowed."

Alvin was also stunned: "Didn't you just say, 'I have to get past you'?"

"That's right,"

Norem's voice was full of matter-of-factness.

"But what I mean is that you need to answer three questions of mine. Only when your answers satisfy me, proving that you possess sufficient wisdom and insight, and are not a reckless fool, will I open the portal for you. However, my questions may not be so easy to answer. After all, I am in charge of one of the largest libraries in the world and have some knowledge of most of the world's mysteries."

It paused, its tone a little excited.

"Don't worry, I won't bully you because you're young. These three questions may cover a wide range, but the answers must be hidden in these books—if you're knowledgeable enough, or lucky enough."
