There's no need to worry about the textbooks for Herbalism and Magic Potion; Larry has them all, and Herag has already obtained them.
There's no need to worry about the courses either, as Larry is personally explaining them, truly treating Herag as a student.
Herag took out the Talisman Stone and had a look; there are almost no courses scheduled during this period, and it should be a few days before the regular courses start one after another.
The courses in the Moonlight Forest are very cheap, mainly for the convenience of Wizard Apprentices. The Official Wizards teaching them generally do so due to mission requirements, with the task being to conduct at least one class every three months.
The Moonlight Forest provides a lot of resources to the Official Wizards who sign the contract, and correspondingly, these wizards must assume certain responsibilities and obligations.
In this recent war between the Moonlight Forest and the Green Cottage, several Official Wizards died, leading to severe losses for both sides.
The knowledge Herag urgently needs now includes information related to Ancient Magic, which is not available on the library's first level, so he can only check the second level to see if it's there.
The library of the Moonlight Forest consists of a total of seventeen levels, and even a Third Class Wizard Apprentice can only borrow books up to the second level.
To access any higher, one must be an Official Wizard with a signed contract to borrow books.
Since Herag has decided to focus on the Great Dark Heaven as his Talent Spell, he certainly needs to understand more about related knowledge.
The next morning, at dawn, Herag finished his meditation and headed for the library.
These two days, Larry temporarily has no order tasks, so it's a good time to go to the library to replenish knowledge.
When Herag arrived at the library, he found more than a dozen people already waiting outside.
The library wouldn't open for a while, so a few people were squatting by the roadside, reading books under the street lights.
Herag recalled Leo again; the Talisman Stone had yet to return any messages. This person had few friends, so Herag had no way to inquire about his whereabouts.
Most of the people outside the library, like Leo, worked hard, mainly being First and Second-Class Wizard Apprentices, with only two Third Class Wizard Apprentices including Herag.
Herag glanced at the time in his sight, and as soon as it reached six o'clock, the library doors automatically opened.
The waiting Wizard Apprentices filed in orderly, with no jostling for position.
This place is unlike schools in the past life where there were many people competing for spots.
The library of the Moonlight Forest is all about being "vast and sparsely populated," with plenty of vacant places.
Herag first wandered around on the first floor, scanning and inputting some of the newly added books with Shenlan.
The book updates here are slow; even when there are new books, they are typically written by Moonlight Forest's own wizards and put into the library after approval.
Herag followed the stairs to the second level.
The second floor doors were closed, and on the door was a slot. Herag placed the Talisman Stone into it.
The Talisman Stone immediately lit up, the slot glowed green, and with a ding, Herag took his Talisman Stone, and the door opened automatically.
The second level of the library was even more expansive than the first, with rows of bookshelves stretching beyond sight.
"Looks like there's Spatial Magic here too."
Herag estimated the space here, which was significantly larger than it appeared on the outside, at least three times bigger than the first floor.
There were currently only two people on the second floor, one being the librarian at the front desk, who was a Third Class Wizard Apprentice.
This person looked very old, with white hair and a beard. The sign in front of him read: "Leighton Potter."
The lifespan of a Third Class Wizard Apprentice typically ranges from one hundred twenty to one hundred fifty years, aging much slower than ordinary people.
However, this Leighton appeared so old that he must be over a hundred.
Herag knew that some Wizard Apprentices, when they are old and unable to advance, would leave Moonlight Forest and return to their hometowns to retire.
But some, like Leighton, don't plan to leave and choose to spend the rest of their life in Moonlight Forest.
Moonlight Forest doesn't drive them away, as there are plenty of positions needing people, such as librarian roles, which are suitable for these elderly folk.
Work in the library is very light; even book sorting isn't required.
There are spells inside the library, so all books placed in the designated location return automatically to their original shelves.
"Are you newly promoted?" Despite his age, Leighton's eyes were still keen, and he sat on the front desk chair with a smile.
Herag nodded, "Yes, I'm here to check out the second level."
"Hmm, every newly promoted Third Class Wizard Apprentice comes eagerly to see the second level, so I pretty much know every Third Class Wizard Apprentice in the Forest. Even though I'm old, my memory is good; I remember everyone, and you, this is the first time I've seen you."
Leighton's speech was slow, but his words were clear.
After conversing with him for a while, Herag learned about the general classification of books on the second level and their corresponding areas, initially heading to the historical section.
After Herag left, Leighton also picked up a book, reading slowly, occasionally sipping coffee, looking very leisurely.
Herag arrived beneath the bookshelves, raising his head to look at the tall shelves.
The bookshelves here were very high, about nine meters, making it difficult to see which books were on top, even while looking up.
But this wasn't a big issue for Herag, as he had Shenlan to obtain information.
It was also a minor task for a Third Class Wizard Apprentice, who generally had the skill of Magical Perception.
To retrieve a book from the top, they could effortlessly use Magic Power to maneuver it down, and the corresponding book would automatically fly to them.
Herag began with the first book on the first bookshelf in the historical section, scanning and inputting each one into the Shenlan database.
He didn't have time to go through them in detail, seizing every moment to input these books.
Given the vast range of the second level, Herag estimated it would take three to four days to scan all the books.
The second level books were far more abundant and in-depth than those on the first level, where many of the works could find higher-tier versions here.
Four days later, Herag stood before the final bookshelf, flipping through a book titled "Dragon Race Geography," quickly having Shenlan scan the contents for input.
"Finally done," Herag thought to himself.
The wealth gained from this level was immense, providing sufficient knowledge for a long time to come.
For ordinary Wizard Apprentices, the content here might take decades to fully read.
But Herag didn't need to read every book; as long as the data was in Shenlan's database, he could retrieve it as needed.
Once this task completed, Herag began to seriously delve into the books.
He intended to explore topics related to ancient history and Ancient Magic, as well as information on Body Refining Wizards.
However, he naturally didn't need to remain in the library for this; he could read at home, lying on the bed.
When leaving, he noticed Leighton had fallen asleep, slumped over a book, peacefully dozing.
