It was established in 1754 according to the King’s Charter promulgated by King George II of England, and was named King’s College, the oldest college in the American continent-it was renamed Columbia University in 1896.

In the same year, Columbia University moved from Madison Avenue to Morning Heights near Manhattan, which made the school own six blocks and about 3 acres of land, especially on sunny days, which was magnificent and reflected wisdom.
Walking from the school bus to Imil and turning the corner, I was shocked by the ancient buildings that came head on. This is the world’s largest Gothic cathedral-St. John’s Cathedral.
Walk a few hundred meters from the magnificent St. John’s Church and cross the road to the campus of Columbia University.
The five oldest universities in the United States-Harvard University and the University of Chicago-are recognized as the top three universities in the United States. King’s College has no special threshold, no doormen and security guards.
Unlike Emile, who went to school in his previous life, Columbia University has a free atmosphere, and the students who set up the school are not sitting in the classroom and listening to the teacher, but distributed in twos and threes on the campus.
There are chairs sitting in front of a small table, and there are simply sitting on the stone steps by the wall watching the brain or discussing something; There are some students sitting in a circle on the grass, maybe some interest seminar group.
But there is nothing wrong with Imil. What he has to do now is to find his mentor, Father Terrence, and report to him.
Following the physical ability, Imil walked through a path on campus and saw the high steps of the iconic library of Columbia University. The goddess of wisdom sat in the middle and watched the tourists coming and going gracefully and calmly.
A guard stood in the way of Imil’s progress. After all, research institutions of higher learning have a very high level of scientific research. Except for ordinary teaching areas, many places are still not allowed to enter and leave at will.
Imil smiled and didn’t have a hard time with the due diligence guard. He took out his student card from his school trouser pocket and handed it over.
"Welcome, Mr Imil! But Father Terrence has gone to St. John’s Cathedral to celebrate mass now, and I’m afraid it will take a long time! " Different from others, the student card in Imil has a dark gold cross mark.
Palm garlands surround the dagger on both sides, and a pair of horizontally spread angel wings form the main body of the cross. The gatekeeper of the seminary library turned respectful. "Congratulations, Mr. Imil, you have finally become a full member of the Order of St. John!"
Columbia University Library has three branches, each with its own characteristics, such as Avery Architectural Art Library, Butler Library, Social Work Library, Columbia University School of Journalism Library, East Asia Library and so on.
However, there is a hidden branch outside these three branches that is not usually made public, that is, although it is located in Columbia University, it does not belong to the Knights of St. John Library of Columbia University.
The guards also heard that Imil was applying for the formal qualification of the Knights some time ago, but he did not expect to stand out from many competitors so soon.
If I used to be dismissive of this cowardly teenager, now I have officially joined the Knights of St. John. Imil is not something that my little gatekeeper can neglect.
"Father Terrence? Knights of St. John? " Imil calmly withdrew his student card and returned a smile to the humble gatekeeper, "Thank you for waking up."
It seems that he is right. There must be a great secret hidden behind the murder of Imil’s body.
In the superhero world, there are all kinds of powers, and there are countless organizations formed by people with super powers. For example, the college established by professors is one of them, but it is not the only one.
The church that once ruled Europe for more than ten centuries also has its own mysterious power, such as vampire hunters like eric brooks (Oscar Pistorius) who fought in the dark world or devil exorcists like Lucifer and Mephitos who have been in hell.
This library of the Order of St. John is suspected to be the center of fighting power, brain and wisdom in the church. It has the richest and most hidden things that the church can receive, and it is qualified to be collected here. Perhaps one of the magic can change the world.
For years, I don’t know how many exorcist families or mutants want to go deep into the library of the Order of St. John to find out, even if they can study here for a month and a day.
For these people who have mastered super abilities, power is everything. When they taste the pleasure brought by power, they will definitely become addicted to it, and they are willing to pay the price.
Imil didn’t guess wrong. After the world inherited the surname of Longinus, his life and church forces were doomed to be involved.
However, due to the vague memory in his body, Imil hasn’t realized such a thing yet. For him, this is a very common branch of the library of Columbia University, even though it is heavily guarded, but after all, it has not been associated with the supernatural.
Chapter 23 Paladin Library
Imil studied the student card handed back by the guards. It seems that this library of the Knights of St. John is really different. It goes up the stairs carved with strange symbols, and Imil can notice that some people dressed strangely can be seen from time to time on these floors.
These people seem to be stuck in the last century, usually dressed in formal church rituals or weird guys with hoods and conjoined cloaks.
These eccentric guys who don’t look like Columbia University students cherish every minute in the library, and they seldom communicate or argue.
Everyone is absorbed in studying the starting paper, and occasionally a few serious guys are mumbling something with their eyes closed, as if they want to memorize knowledge.
Imil asked the doorman who showed him the way curiously, "Who are they? What are you doing? "
The doorman nodded humbly to Imil and said, "As you can see, they are reciting spells."
Imil was taken aback. "A spell?"
The doorman proudly introduced, "Yes, the Knights of St. John’s Library is the largest magic library in the world." He paused, "Maybe the private collection of the wizard Dr. Stephen is comparable here, but there is absolutely no such collection in his place."
Imil’s name Steven, a strange doctor, sounds a little strange. He is not sure whether the word the doorman said is doctor or doctor. These two meanings are always confusing.
But he silently wrote down the name in his heart "wizard? Aha, another mysterious figure? This is really interesting. "
In the past life, Imil had a cursory look at the film "The Avengers". Besides Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, Hawkeye and Natasha, it was amazing that he could remember Spider-Man!
The doorman may feel that he has said enough. He looked at Imil and said, "Mr. Imil, you are now a member of the Knights of St. John. I think Father Terrence will teach you this knowledge soon."
Imil looked at the ten-story building of the library and filled it with all kinds of ancient books and classics. He suddenly felt a little creepy. Imil pointed to those who were silently memorizing and asked, "Can’t you borrow here and remember by reciting?"
The janitor glanced at the strange guys who were reading on the shelf and chuckled, "Of course, all the books in the library are protected by the Knights of St. John. Don’t say that even the notes in the library are not allowed to be taken out without the permission of the Knights of St. John."
Imil understood that the doorman made it clear that it was absolutely impossible to take it out without the permission of the Knights of St. John, and conversely, if you want to get the permission of this Knights, then everything will be fine.
The doorman led Imil to the reading hall on the first floor and said, "Mr. Imil, the library of the Order of St. John was built on the ground. You have the full membership of the Order and can read it at will on the tenth floor. But I still have to wake you up. You should not touch many things before you learn the magic power beyond mortals."
Imil nodded his head as a doorman, and he could roughly understand that just like in the novels of past lives, he had a certain protective power when he recorded a powerful magic body. If he was not strong enough, he would hurt himself if he reluctantly read it.
But Imil shook his fist, and now he has gradually mastered his resentment. Is it still among ordinary people?
He talked to the doorman in a low voice, which didn’t destroy the library at all. He quietly watched the doorman return to his post. Although there were many people in the whole library, there was no other noise except the occasional rustling of pages.
It looks like a great reading environment here, but I don’t know what is hidden here.
The readers who can come to the library have made outstanding contributions to the church, but even so, the time they can stay in the library is very limited. Once they can borrow it, they have to be politely "invited" out by the janitor.
Unlike Imil, they are full members of the Order of St. John, which means that if he wants, he can stay in this library without being invited by that miserable reading.
Imil, the doorman, probably knew about the rules here for a long time, and he didn’t tell him much, which caused Imil to have no objective evaluation and understanding of the status of the library of the Knights of St. John.
He casually pulled out a thick face made of cowhide from the nearest shelf beside him, engraved with strange words, not Chinese or Latin, but which made people look forward to business.
If you look at the strange font on the cover, you will naturally understand the meaning of these four words-"Elegy of the Evil Spirit"
Can be collected into the library is not Imil’s past life to read online novels, each of which can be described as a record of the world’s top secret "Elegy of the Evil Spirit" is no exception, except that this born church fought hundreds of battles against demons in hell in the Middle Ages.
After several heroic sacrifices, this holy collection that can make Satan tremble in hell is here.
Or because I don’t understand Imil, I will take such a saint to pass the time for recreation rather than he still has luxury to secretly think, "I’m also a ghost-hater now, but I don’t know if ghosts will occur after people die in this superhero world." Speaking of ghosts, it can actually be regarded as an evil spirit, right? "
While daydreaming, he gently stroked the cover of Elegy of the Evil Spirit.
After all, Imil’s predecessor was high flyers, a theological seminary of Columbia University. He can still recognize that in addition to those four strange characters, the cover of Elegy of the Evil Spirit is engraved with the holy chapter pattern of the holy father Benedict, which consists of a vertical line of letters "ssl" and a horizontal line of letters "ndsd".
Chapter 24 Elegy of evil spirits
The two lines of words overlap at the middle letter "S". The original meaning of the vertical text is "rusarasiihilu", which means to let the holy cross light me up;
