I Truly Am The Villian - Chapter 2596

Chapter 2596: Chapter 2595: The Deal, Giants Before the Bronzes

It can be said that in this Sky View Corner, no one dares to disrespect the Sky-Patrol Clan.

Not even the Ancient Library.

Therefore, when Xu Zimei wished to meet their higher-ups, it was quite easy.

The elder in the purple robe looked at Xu Zimei.

Although he met Xu Zimei out of respect for the Sky-Patrol Clan,

The status of the Ancient Library is not like that of other powers.

He didn’t have to be servile and deferential to Xu Zimei.

The elder said, “Clan Leader Jiang, what brings you to this old man’s humble abode?”

“I would like you to help me translate an Ancient Scripture,” Xu Zimei got straight to the point.

“Clan Leader Jiang must be joking. Compared to translating Ancient Scriptures, your Sky-Patrol Clan is the real expert,” the elder replied with a smile.

Everyone knows that the Sky-Patrol Clan enjoys studying ancient texts, collecting them extensively, and even purchasing high-level ones.

Some opportunistic people often collect Ancient Skills to gift to the Sky-Patrol Clan.

Though it’s unknown why the Sky-Patrol Clan is so obsessed with the Old Law,

Such matters cannot remain hidden.

Thus, upon hearing Xu Zimei’s words, the elder immediately thought he was joking.

But Xu Zimei shook his head.

He said, “This Ancient Scripture is special; I don’t want others to know about it.”

“You should understand what I mean.”

As Xu Zimei spoke, he retrieved the box containing the Rotating Scripture.

Before the box was opened, the elder just took one glance and immediately grew serious.

“A black devil wood box; this item only appears in the general-level Royal Collection,” the elder said.

“Seems like you recognize its value,” Xu Zimei smiled.

“So, can you translate this item?”

The elder’s hands trembled as he opened the black box.

Although he had seen general-level Royal Collections before,

Such items are incredibly rare.

In a lifetime, one rarely encounters such things.

Especially for entities like the Ancient Library, which specialize in collecting ancient items,

Such treasures are immensely valuable.

When the black box was opened, all the anomalies marked on it were revealed.

The elder, with his profound skills, waved his long sleeves and immediately dispelled all the anomalies.

He clearly saw the three words on the scripture.

“Rotating Scripture!”

He murmured to himself in the end.

“Impressive, truly impressive. A general-level treasure, and it’s perfectly preserved.”

One must know that the Heavenly Burial Grounds, after all, is a product of a previous cosmos.

Many items inside have started to deteriorate due to the passage of time since their excavation.

They are no longer as intact.

So, to have such a well-preserved general-level treasure at this time is extremely valuable.

“I will take this task.”

“I can translate it for you free of charge.”

The elder said directly.

“By the way, my name is Lin Tiannan.”

It was evident that this time the elder accepted Xu Zimei.

And he voluntarily offered his name.

Previously, the elder only met Xu Zimei reluctantly, respecting the Sky-Patrol Clan’s face.

He didn’t even bother to mention his name.

But upon seeing the other’s attitude, Xu Zimei smiled and said.

“Elder Lin, there’s no need for me to say how precious this Rotating Scripture is.”

“Though you are translating it for me, you also gain knowledge of its contents.”

“Simply translating for free might not suffice.”

The elder was naturally aware of what Xu Zimei meant.

He did not overreact and responded, “So, what does Clan Leader Jiang have in mind?”

“Or rather, what does Clan Leader Jiang want? Speak directly, let’s be straightforward.”

“Elder Lin is forthright, so I’ll just say it.”

“I wish to get a look at the top floor of the Ancient Library,” Xu Zimei said directly.

This request is not insignificant.

The Ancient Library has always operated on an exchange basis.

If you want to view their books,

You must trade ancient items for access.

However, without even considering, one knows how precious the books on the top floor are.

Such books are not available for just anyone to read.

Even the Sky-Patrol Clan had to pay a corresponding price to access the top floor.

When Xu Zimei saw that the elder was silent,

He asked, “So, is exchanging this Rotating Scripture for a visit to the top floor that difficult?”

“Not difficult at all. Since Clan Leader Jiang has requested it, I cannot refuse you.”

The elder smiled.

“This old man will make the decision to grant you a visit to the top floor.”

After the agreement was made, Xu Zimei asked again.

“When do you think the scripture will be translated?”

“Having not yet seen the specific contents, I cannot guarantee anything,”

The elder replied truthfully.

“But, according to previous timelines, if I focus solely on translating without distraction, it should take between three to five days.”

“Then I’ll return in three days to pick it up,” Xu Zimei stated.

The elder nodded slightly.

At this moment, Xu Zimei also requested to immediately visit the top floor.

The elder didn’t expect Xu Zimei to be so eager,

But he did not obstruct him.

Instead, he motioned, and a woman in a black robe approached from the side.

The elder said, “Escort Clan Leader Jiang to the top floor.”

The woman gave a slight nod, gestured for Xu Zimei to follow her, and led the way.

Her good figure was noticeable, though obscured by a broad black robe.

Xu Zimei followed her.

Many people assumed the top floor of the Ancient Library was simply the highest story of the building.

But this was incorrect.

The so-called top floor can only be accessed through a spatial formation.

Moreover, without authorization, anyone sneaking in would face infinite terror.

When the woman brought Xu Zimei to the spatial formation,

She opened her mouth to speak.

“Before entering the top floor, you must understand the rules.”

“The books inside can be read but not taken, not imprinted.”

“No recording devices are allowed.”

“If caught, immediate execution without mercy.”

“Regardless of who you are, you must understand this rule.”

Xu Zimei nodded slightly.

He understood that the contents of the top floor were likely the most crucial items the Ancient Library had accumulated over the years.

So, there was constant surveillance.

No matter what he did inside, someone would be watching.

Fortunately, Xu Zimei had no other intentions.

He just wanted to take a look at the information.

After agreeing with the woman, Xu Zimei stood on the teleportation array.

The next moment, space twisted.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Zimei was standing before a bronze gate.

Two giants stood in front of this gate.

At the moment they saw Xu Zimei, the giants turned simultaneously, gripping the iron rings on the door.
