Chapter 1552: The encounter around the corner
is the same as St. Ellen's Cathedral.
The great library of the Holy Capital is naturally located in the academic area.
But because the church encourages ordinary residents to learn church knowledge. The location of the Great Library is not only not in the center of the academic area, but on the edge, closely adjacent to the civilian residential area next door.
Exit from the main entrance of the Great Library.
As long as you cross a street, you can see the houses where ordinary people live opposite.
The front is open to ordinary people, but the back is turned to the church monks who need them. The location itself says something.
When Ronald and Costart came to the door of the great library.
At the first moment, it is inevitable to sigh at the magnificence of the building in front of you.
This huge building that preserves knowledge runs through the entire block when viewed horizontally, and also occupies a considerable length of land vertically.
Although it is called a library, its actual function is not just that.
The library buildings are distributed in a ring. In addition to the building where books are stored, there is an extensive internal garden in the center, where people can breathe fresh air and relax when borrowing books from the library.
And with this ring structure.
The transparent architectural pattern inside and outside the library greatly improves the lighting rate during the day. It does not require internal lighting for reading even in the daytime, as is the case in some libraries.
This design is not only convenient and economical, but also greatly reduces the probability of fire.
The main entrance of the Great Library is open to the public every day.
As an open public place, there are no defensive spells.
Ronald and Costat walked in without having to climb over the wall or break the barrier.
So, problems followed one after another.
——The figure of the sage gave a hint, where is the specific location?
The word 'big' in the big library is no joke.
Regardless of the number of floors, this building covers an area larger than a football field.
You really have to search blindly in such a large building.
Although the difficulty is not as exaggerated as finding a few [Nine Rings Secret Society] casters in the city, it is also not something that can be accomplished just by joking.
"..."
"Sir, wait!"
Ronald sorted out several suspicious locations in his mind and prepared to take action immediately.
But at this moment, Costart in front suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
Look down.
Costat was half-crouching on the ground at this time, pointing to the ground and starting to explain:
"There are signs that someone has walked here, and the traces were left... no more than a day!"
Hearing such news, Ronald's spirit suddenly improved. Vibrate.
Is this Costart's probability spell at work?
Ronald didn't bother to praise the maid's spell, and quickly followed her movements and squatted on the ground.
But seconds passed and Ronald found nothing.
His eyesight had long exceeded the limit of normal people, but he was unable to detect the signs in Costart's mouth, and in the end he could only stand up awkwardly.
The maid obviously noticed her master's embarrassment.
Before Ronald spoke, she took the initiative to explain:
"Sir, what I noticed are very subtle changes, not something that can be seen with the naked eye."
Ronald asked directly:
"Where did they go?"
Costa Nod nodded and stood up, walked directly in front and began to lead the way:
"Please follow me." "
..."
Because the enemy had made a mistake in using space magic to escape before, Ronald acted very carefully this time.
He activated the spell of "Almagest" in advance.
This time just capture the enemy's figure. Even if the opponent uses spells to escape again, he can still use the effect of [Celestial Globe] to lock the target.
Follow the trail all the way.
Both of them tried their best to make no noise.
The magic power is ready to cast a spell, just waiting for the moment of contact with the enemy.
In this way, the two arrived at the third floor of the building on the east side.
When they passed the corner of the stairs, a magic barrier suddenly appeared in front of them.
Seeing something like this, Ronald didn't want to alert the snake, so he naturally wanted to go around.
The result is just after the turn, between the rows of bookshelves ahead.
Several figures in robes stood here.
With just one glance, Ronald recognized one of them.
That was the eldest of the three Lenny brothers who had his left arm chopped off by him not long ago and was later rescued!
In front of this guy.
One person was holding a wooden cup and pouring the red liquid in it onto the wound on Lenny's shoulder, seemingly treating it.
There were two other people gathered in front of a bookshelf, trying to use magic to break some kind of small seal.
The sudden encounter exceeded the expectations of both parties.
Only Lenny, who was treating his injuries, was clever. His movements were so violent that he even spilled the liquid poured by his companions on his shoulders: "President!
This is the guy!"
"He designed to kill my brother and the others! "
This shout told Ronald a fact.
Among the four people in front of me, one is the president of the [Nine Rings Secret Society], the biggest enemy in this trip!
As if responding to Ronald's gaze.
The man with a calm face who was treating Lenny's injury put away the wooden cup in his hand, and then looked at Ronald with a calm look:
"Ronald Adler?"
"That's right."
Choking -
Luo Nader nodded slightly and immediately pulled out the Sword of Saint Catalina.
But this place is a library.
In order to protect the precious books from damage, he did not attach the [Power of Sunlight] to the sword as usual, but simply used magic power to strengthen the attack.
"Lilia Colon."
The president of the [Nine Rings Secret Society] seemed not to notice Ronald's hostile attitude. Instead, he introduced himself and started chatting with the tense Ronald.
"If I'm not wrong, Ronald shouldn't be your real name?"
Ronald walked towards the opponent with a long sword in one hand, and at the same time motioned with his eyes to Costart to support him:
"The name is just a code name, I am now That’s what it’s called.”
The president of the [Nine Rings Secret Society] remained unmoved:
"Resorting to force is not the only way to solve the problem. I think we can have a good talk."
At this moment, Ronald was close enough, and the enemy was right next to him. Within the attack range:
"Then let me ask you, what do you want to do when you enter the Holy City?"
Liliya immediately replied:
"Let's look for the relics left by the church."
Ronald asked:
"Then look for these relics What's the purpose?"
"..."
Liliya was silent for a moment, watching Ronald questioning him thoroughly, even touching on core issues.
But the man still chose to answer honestly:
"In order to return to the outside world and establish a new order."
"Some talentless human beings trample others under their feet and even control us magicians just by relying on the advantage of money. , don’t you think the current world is ridiculous?”
Liliya was not afraid of the sword in Ronald’s hand at all.
He even took the initiative to approach and shorten the distance between the two to only two meters.
Then the man opened his arms and made a fearless gesture:
"Most of the conflicts in the world come from misunderstandings and shallow differences of opinion!" "
As people with power, we should be responsible for our actions and the world." "
So , Ronald, sit down and talk first!"
