I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means-Chapter 547 - 387: Successful Infiltration_2
Chapter 547 -387: Successful Infiltration_2
Lis, holding a Bronze Level, could borrow Magic Books of the first to third cycles unconditionally.
Additionally, once a month, he could choose to borrow a Magic Book from the fourth to the sixth cycle.
In other words, Lis was currently able to borrow Magic Books containing Silver Level magical knowledge from this Library, and the Bronze Level Magic Books were completely open to him.
Lis casually flipped through the Magic Crystal’s catalog of books in front of him.
“A Feasibility Study of the Fireball Technique”
“Introduction and Mastery of Confusion Control System Spells”
...
“Three Approaches to Strengthening Skeleton Soldiers”
“An Introduction to Neseryel’s Magic Rune Schools”
“Several Attempts of Charming Humans for Various Purposes”
“Catalog of Naseryel Forbidden Techniques (64th Edition)”
…
As Lis browsed the seemingly endless catalog in front of him, he felt somewhat dazzled.
The Magic Books collected in the Azela Library, even those of middle and low levels, seemed quite interesting, likely carefully curated rather than haphazardly assembled.
But…
As interesting as it was to look through them, Lis already possessed Gold Level strength, so the abundance of middle and low-level Magic Books and the wealth of magical knowledge they contained were not very attractive to him.
He had access to the library of the Legendary Arcanist known as Judgement Flame, and all the knowledge accumulated over a lifetime by the Legendary Arcanist Sphinx was contained in the Legendary Accessories named Sphinx’s Wisdom, at his disposal to browse at will.
For Lis, what he truly desired was the advanced magical knowledge left behind by the Neserel Magic Empire.
Especially those books of Legendary status that ranked even above the Nine Rings Magic Books.
Indeed, these Magic Books undoubtedly contained the most precious top-tier magical knowledge, and even their carriers were not in the form of ordinary books.
The shelves above displayed strange Magic Balls and Magic Stones and such; many of them were Legendary Magic Books.
However, in order to obtain higher-level Magic Books from the Floating City, Lis would need to increase his authority level.
This was a normal affair after all. For the controllers of the Floating City, gaining access to higher-level magic knowledge required making corresponding contributions to the City.
This was the key to the long-lasting legacy of an Extraordinary force.
But for the current Lis, raising his authority level by normal means was impossible, given that the Floating City had been dormant for many years.
So…
Lis pondered for a moment, then selected the “Catalog of Naseryel Forbidden Techniques (64th Edition)” from the Magic Crystal in front of him.
The Magic Crystal shone faintly, and under Lis’s gaze, a grayish-blue Magic Book on a certain bookshelf began to float out slowly under the influence of an invisible force.
Once it left the shelf, it fell in front of Lis like a shooting star.
Lis reached out to take the floating Magic Book without immediately flipping through it but instead closed his eyes and slowly probed the grayish-blue book with his spiritual power.
“So that’s how it is,” Lis murmured.
In his perception, the Magic Book in his hand was covered with an invisible Magic Power layer that protected the Magic Book from the erosion of time and also restricted it from leaving the Great Library.
All borrowing was only permissible within the confines of the Library, and any attempt to forcibly remove a Magic Book would trigger the protections on the book, teleporting it back to its corresponding shelf.
Unsurprising for the Floating City, this format was quite extraordinary indeed.
Lis opened his eyes, contemplating with some emotion.
Without opening the borrowed Magic Book, Lis patted the azure-colored girl beside him.
“Black Cat, it’s your turn.”

“Success or failure, it’s all on you. Good luck!”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Black Cat looked helpless. She knew that after getting Lis to satisfy her wish for a demon statue, he’d have her work for it.
She had already tried many times before, but those buildings were all protected by dedicated Magic Pattern Circuits, and she found no way to bypass them.
Hopefully, this time would be a bit smoother…
Black Cat was feeling a tad bitter, having been thwarted continuously.
Being in the legendary Floating City, which appeared to her as an impenetrable turtle shell with tight defenses and not many gaps for a cat to slip through, was frustrating.
Doesn’t she have any pride left?
She used to brag about her abilities in front of Lis. Now, these challenges were making her uncomfortable.
Couldn’t Lis see the doubt in his eyes?
Black Cat, filled with a do-or-die spirit, stood in front of the Magic Crystal as if readying for a last stand.
Lis observed her expression, resembling a person prepared for the end, and found it a bit strange.
What drama was this black cat concocting now, possessed by overacting?
Lis didn’t doubt Black Cat’s abilities; she was merely overthinking things.
Being able to hack into the Magic Pattern Circuit of the Floating City was a significant feat; Lis certainly couldn’t manage a similar operation in a short period of time.
Lis paid it no mind, watching as Black Cat stood in front of the Magic Crystal and placed her small blue hand upon it.
After waiting for a moment, Lis suddenly noticed Black Cat’s body soften, melting into a puddle of water.
Lis was taken aback, a hint of joy on his face, and swiftly collected the water-converted demon statue.
Black Cat had fully taken control of the Water Element Demon Statue’s central operating system, and even a temporary departure didn’t worry her about the statue going out of control.
“Did we make progress this time?”
Joyce stood beside Lis, watching the continuously flashing Magic Crystal in front of them.
