Chapter 219
Nine-pointed star wizard tower, relic library.
For almost all wizards, this library is like a Holy Land—a unique and unmatched library in all Eboden, and even the entire empire, not just because of its collection of books It is so rich and diverse that it has the honorary title of "Imperial Memory" because of its location, right in the towering nine-pointed star tower in the middle of that old castle, and the meaning it represents.
The nobles have vast territories and wealth, which are the strong shield and sword of the empire; the church has the protection of God and absolute faith, which is the guide of the empire; then they are abandoned by the gods and despised by the nobles What do the wizards have?
Compared with the previous two, what they have is much smaller, but also much heavier-endless knowledge.
And the relic library is the "creation" of knowledge and memory. It represents the status of the wizards in the empire and even the entire world. The cost of Boden's confrontation with Holy Cross Church-as long as the ruins library is still there, the nine-pointed star wizard tower can continuously cultivate more qualified wizards.
Different from previous lives, the "knowledge" of this world is very expensive-an ancient book alone is worth at least five gold coins, and a complete incantation book can be sold not low. At the sky-high price of thirty gold coins.
In a trade-developed city like Eboden, the storage of various currencies, especially Silver Coin, is so huge that one gold coin is worth at least twenty Silver Coins. In other words, as long as Loren finds a way to sell a high-level enchantment book, or compile a rune that can improve the efficiency of alchemy items, the pure profit alone is close to the one-month "harvest" of the crutches!
"Knowledge is equivalent to gold"—this sentence is engraved on the city gate of Eboden, and it is not without reason.
And what is the amount of books in the ruins library...The stacked towers, not only half of the space on each floor is filled with large and small bookshelves, even the walls have been transformed into Bookcase, and it is said that there is a hidden book-forbidden area in the basement of the tower.
So how many books there are, I am afraid that even the responsible librarian is not clear.
But Loren’s trip was not a special trip to pay a visit to this old library-perhaps a "genius" named Isaac would be more happy to stay in this place.
The real reason is that he found himself being followed.
Since yesterday, when I returned to the nine-pointed star wizard tower, someone behind me was always faintly discernable glancing at me, even more than one—the new wizard apprentice, the administrator of the library, cleaning The servants of the courtyard, the guards of the wizard tower...there should be no less than twenty of them just discovered by themselves.
If you add the ones you haven't found, there should be no fewer than 30 people.
Because of the spiritual palace, the intuition of wizards is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and it is easy to be spotted when a few people follow them. But on the other hand, if you can buy and mobilize so many people to track yourself, the identity of the other person is obvious at a glance.
Except for the transmigrator, Miss Ariel from the Corona family almost "knows the roots" of herself; the rest is the Bellini family.
Standing in front of the bookshelves aimlessly flipping through the books, Loren's erratic eyes listened carefully to the movement behind him.
Two on the left and one on the right, but none of them seem to come up.
What exactly is this going to do, is it just going to monitor me?
It doesn’t make sense to throw them away-the entire nine-pointed star wizard tower is their people, even if it is thrown off temporarily, they will still be found by them. It’s better to pretend not to find them so that they will not be more vigilant. .
So their purpose is to make sure that I have left the nine-pointed star wizard tower, or to beware of me meeting someone?
Would you like to try it out?
The "sorcerer" is in his arms, but using the spell in the ruins library is too glaring. There are three opponents, if you want to succeed, you must get rid of two of them first.
"pa!" He had to close the book in his hand. Loren, who had made up his mind, just turned around. Suddenly there was a person in front of him. The position just blocked the two apprentices who were monitoring him.
"Ain, why are you here?!" Peter Fasa looked at him in surprise, holding a thick "Ancient Rune Dictionary" in his arms: "I found you For a long time, I thought you were already not in the nine-pointed star wizard tower."
"Excuse me...what's the matter?" The black hair wizard frowned, the bookshelf next to Patted, who is very tired, A finger flicked across the title of each book: "I'm still looking for some materials. If it is too troublesome, I may not have time."
"Discussion on the authenticity of hat Logan's deeds", "On vampire and "Human Relations", "The Existence Being Watched By The Holy Cross."
Yes, people, surveillance.
"You still like these miscellaneous books. You are indeed a genius. It is different from ordinary persons like us." The expression changed, Peter Fasha sighed and reached out and grabbed Loren's sleeve. "Don't worry about it, I found something that may be helpful to your research on the'magic array'."
The two deliberately found a very conspicuous desk with a very empty space around. Peter Fasa couldn't wait to hand the book to Loren: "Look, it's in the middle position. I marked it with a bookmark."
The middle position? black hair wizard eyebrows raised. Slowly turning over the pages of the book, he immediately understood what he meant-what Peter wanted to read was not a book, but a bookmark-
"The patrol guard was clearing the cane gang in the gutters, just in two A quarter of an hour ago, it should be a member of the Bellini family."
Loren's face showed a bit of surprise, and Peter chuckled triumphantly: "How about it, isn't it useful? Of course, it’s up to you to use it or not, I just think you might use it."
Obviously, Peter Fasha, or the Night Watchman, still has his own intelligence network in Eboden, otherwise Impossible I got the news so quickly—As for the involvement between myself and the Crutches Gang, the night watchman named Edward should have guessed it.
But why did the Bellini family clean up the crutches gang, do they also know?
Impossible, although the scar-faced man named Luca is stupid and timid enough, he will certainly keep a secret even to survive. It is Van Sterno who trades with the Bellini family. No matter how stupid he was, he knew that he could never get too involved with Van Sterno.
So they are not aware of it, but intend to plant the blame-no matter how they escaped from Van Sterno alive, as long as they kill the gang of crutches, then "find out" A few pieces of evidence related to him can put all the crimes of the Crutches Gang on his head.
Well...Although it is true, Loren does not intend to be detained as a "gang leader". Once convicted, the Bellini family will definitely use all means to kill themselves!
So I must rush to wipe out all the people and things that may become evidence before the patrols leave. But before that... Glancing lightly behind him, black hair wizard frowned.
I also have to deal with this group of surveillance guys first.
"Very important, thank you so much!" After the surprise, Loren's expression immediately became a little bit more surprised: "I can't wait, I must go back to the lab immediately! But..."
"But what?" Peter looked at him with a bit more nervousness in his eyes as well.
"Remember what we said last time?" The situation is urgent, and Loren has no time to continue to middle the puzzle: "Could you please ask Verlo Bellini for me? I think he Maybe I will know!
I have to go back to the laboratory now. This can only be done by me alone, so I can only entrust it to you!"
"Are you sure?"
Peter Fasa can of course hear Loren's meaning-he intends to go to the gutters all by himself, and then let the night watchman find a way to dig out the whereabouts of Isaac Grantham from Verlo's mouth!
"Why not? A rare opportunity." Loren holding up the book gave him a confident smile: "If everything goes well, shall we go to the nearby pub for a drink tonight?"
After speaking, Loren proactively extended his right hand. The complicated Peter Fasa glanced at him, and nodded shook hands with him, with an extremely strong tone:
"That's it!"
