Chapter 163
'Hmm?'
Grimm looked at the tall building in front of him and felt a bit astonished . The building was a few hundred meters tall, with a structure that looked like an upside-down "V" .
"What a unique structure . It explains why it was stated on the map that this place would be very easy to identify . I didn't expect the Fundamental Knowledge Library of the Holy Tower of Seven Rings to have this unusual structure . This is quite refreshing," Grimm murmured to himself as he landed on the ground .
At the main entrance of the library, there was a long staircase with more than a hundred steps . A stone monument with the famous saying "Grant me infinite knowledge, and I shall be as a fulcrum, set to move the endless world"[1] written on it could be seen at the entrance, but nobody seemed to pay any heed .
The reason was because this type of stone monument was too common in the Sorcerer World .
Grimm gave a quick glance at the monument without any expression . Then he climbed up the stairs while maintaining his distance with the sorcerer in front .
A few humanoid robots were standing at the library entrance, each about three meters tall . Faint buzzing robotic sounds could be heard coming from their heads as they scanned the sorcerers who were passing by . Each robot had an automatic crystal ball monitor on their head to record the real-time dynamics in the library . Some rules and regulations of the library were stated on all of the robots' chests .
It was different during the sorcerer school era days when sorcerer-apprentices had to pay magic stones to get fundamental knowledge from the library, now as a Demon-Hunter, obtaining common and fundamental knowledge of sorcery subjects were free of charge .
That was one of the basic perks of being a Demon-Hunter .
A few moments later…
A female human-like creature with cicada wings on its back guided Grimm to the fifteenth floor of the library, where all the books about voodoos were kept .
The human-like creature thanked Grimm and left in delight as it received half a magic stone as its tip .

Grimm glanced at the wide range of books in the library under his Ashen Mask . Based on his estimation, it seemed like there were around thousands of books on that row of three-meter high bookshelf .
Unlike the neat and tidy bookshelves back in the sorcerer school library, the different sizes of books arranged on this library shelf were slightly messy . There were even some ancient scrolls arranged at the bottom of the shelf which no one seemed to show any interest in .
These scrolls were considered as the "dross" of ancient sorcerers' knowledge system .
Needless to say, all of the knowledge in the books and scrolls here were highly related to voodoo, which was why they were here in the first place, even including the ancient knowledge which seemed like "dross" to modern sorcerers .
Grimm took his time and picked a few books that caught his interest . Using the repulsive and attractive forces, he made the books float in the air and started to read them one by one .
Ever since Grimm became an official sorcerer, he was able to use natural force to drive the repulsive and attractive forces in the gravity . Hence his repulsive and attractive skill was no longer limited to only using it on himself, he could now use them on other external objects as well .
As for the ancient scrolls, just like the other sorcerers who had been here before, Grimm did not pay much attention to them .
First, Grimm flipped open a book which was around one meter tall and half a meter thick . The title of the book was "Calculation Formula of the Allocation Equation for Nineteen Times Proportion Voodoo" . After reading the introduction in the first few pages in detail, Grimm frowned and spent approximately another half an hourglass skimming through the book, and placed it back on the shelf in disappointment .
The calculation formulas in this voodoo book were probably rough estimations of voodoo measurement allocation written by pioneers of modern sorcerers .
This kind of abstract measurement allocation method was one of the major differences between modern sorcerers and ancient sorcerers .
Modern sorcerers categorized voodoo into seven categories based on the victim's different fatal reactions . Grimm had already known this when he first learned about intoxication sorcery, hence the details were of no importance .
On the contrary, before the second Civilization War, ancient sorcerers and even more ancient sorcerers before them treated elemental sorcery, voodoo, alchemy, and every other sorcerer knowledge much like mysticism . Unlike modern sorcerers, ancient sorcerers did not have structured and systematic calculation formulas for all that knowledge .
Ancient sorcery knowledge had been passed down one by one by ancient sorcerers using countless scrolls .
Different from modern sorcery knowledge, ancient sorcery knowledge was not concluded based on systematic calculations using the periodic table of elements . They were written by ancient sorcerers based on natural phenomenon and their own long term tentative experiments . As ancient sorcerers truly got themselves involved in the process of discovering all that knowledge, these knowledge systems where impeccably compatible with them . Eventually, all these abstract and uncertain theories turned into countless unexplainable ancient scrolls .
In general, ancient sorcery knowledge is similar to the emergence of the Bloodlust Puppet sorcery .
Although modern sorcerers were able to calculate some ancient sorcery knowledge and theories using backward reasoning, there were still some other bizarre and intriguing sorceries that were incomprehensible by modern sorcerers .
As ancient sorcerers consumed long periods of their lives in conducting sorcery experiments of a certain field of knowledge, they were usually elites in their field of focus . As a result, the level of their sorcery knowledge as a whole was much lower than modern sorcerers . However, since all of the ancient sorcerers' sorcery knowledge was concluded based on their own research and experiment, the knowledge they had gained was completely compatible with their own body .
Hence, almost each and every ancient sorcerer was at the same level as the deadliest sorcerer-apprentice!
But of course, although ancient sorcerers were very powerful, they were only powerful within a certain field of sorcery .
As systemic formulas and basic elemental knowledge of modern sorcerers popularized, a lot of sorcerers stopped exploring and creating sorcery knowledge that were fully compatible with them, which resulted in a huge number of "slackers" in sorcerer schools . Hence, in terms of individual capability, modern sorcerers were way behind ancient sorcerers . However, this characteristic of modern sorcerers completely transformed the overall capability of the sorcerer civilization, even to an extent that was unimaginable to ancient sorcerers . Therefore, it was safe to say that the ability of some elites among the "sorcerer slackers" was on par with ancient sorcerers .
