The boring life of the white devil

The King of Heroes has no time to wait for the real truth. This is what Chrisman wants most.This is not only a problem for the King of Heroes, but also a test for Ai Fuluo himself.

"If we investigate slowly, we may indeed find out that I am innocent. However, I really don't have that kind of time and leisure. Maybe it would be the best choice for the empire for me to plead guilty right away." Ivor Luo's expression was too desperate. He would always choose the path that was most beneficial to the empire.

Whether the truth is needed or whether to give the truth that the people need, Hero King IV should be able to come to a conclusion in the next few days.

Soleichuan already knew all this, but he would not give up, "I won't let things become like that. I Hui got you out, just give me a few days."

"There is no time! Do you know how tense the war in the south is! Nalen's gang can no longer be called human beings! They have used all cruel methods!" Ai Fuluo did not say any more, because what happened next Everything is a military secret, and the details of the front line are not allowed to be known, even if he himself has become a prisoner.

Chapter 21 The Devil's Oath

"Give me three days. If I don't clear your name, I will take you out of here even if you are jailed. The empire cannot lack people like you." Soleichuan heard Ai Fuluo saying that he wanted to plead guilty to solve the problem quickly. During this commotion, I became more determined to cooperate with Ai Fuluo.

Ai Fuluo suddenly felt an unprecedented warmth in his heart.

Looking at Soleichuan's serious expression brought him a ray of hope in such a dark prison.Even though he couldn't expect that devil who barely understood politics to really save him, with these words, even if he didn't want to admit it, he was still a little happy.

Ai Fuluo, who wanted to give up everything, felt a little more alive in his heart.

"Then I'll wait for you." Ai Fuluo finally smiled a little, not the desperate and gloomy smile before.

"Then that's it for today." Seeing Ai Fuluo's statement, Soleichuan also stood up and said no more, "I will work hard."

Today’s itinerary is still very crowded.

Since the Ministry of Justice is a neutral faction, it means that today's conversation with Ivor should be safe. At least Ivor's intelligence will not be wrong. If the Ministry of Justice also has the possibility of enemies, then he will also Wouldn't have chosen a conversation like today.

Then there is the library.

The Library of St. Floride is within the second city wall, not too far from the prison.It took less than 10 minutes in Marcus' carriage to arrive at the library.

There were four members of the library team standing at the door of the library. They did not have any weapons on their hands, but each of them had gloves with complicated spells on them. Even Aicilia couldn't understand what they were when she looked over. Such a spell.

The Library Team possesses many complex magic spells that are inaccessible to outside humans, even the Knights. However, such complex spells would undoubtedly be too slow if they were temporarily drawn in the air on site. And it lost a lot of mobility.Therefore, members of the library team generally rely on props when fighting, such as gloves, canes, parchments, or spell books.

The Library Team is a force that is almost based on magical combat capabilities. Unlike the Knights, which requires both magic and physical combat, those members of the Library Team look thinner and spend more time in their rooms. He devotes himself to studying and analyzing magic techniques.There aren’t many opportunities to exercise your body.

They allowed Aicilia to pass, but stopped Soleichuan, "Hello, sir, this is the Imperial Library. Only personnel related to the Holy Church can enter. If you want to use books related to magic, you can go A general library outside the outer city.”

Such regulations were set from the third life. In the third life, there were no more wars and invasions with the outside world, which led to a sharp increase in idlers. Not everyone was born with the goal of joining the army and establishing a career.There were so many people who came here to enter the Imperial Library that it was once regarded as a tourist attraction.The quality of most of the visitors is also uneven, which affects the tranquility and order of the library to a certain extent.

That's why such an order was issued to divert tourists to the library outside the royal city, so that the imperial library can operate more quietly, so that the priests and knights can read and study more focused.

"Wait a minute, he is a newly promoted imperial hero, recognized by the King of Heroes and the Holy Holy See. I think there is nothing wrong with entering the imperial library, right?" Aicilia explained.

The tall man with white glasses and white glasses said awkwardly, "Your Excellency Aicilia, we believe what you say, but... there has never been such a precedent..."

Icilia was surprised that they knew her name, but considering that she was the one who accompanied Soleichuan all day long, I am afraid that the combination of red hair and white hair has become their symbol.

"What do you mean there is no precedent? He is a hero of the empire. And he is still affiliated with my Crimson Knights and has never left the knights. As a full knight approved by the empire, I have the right to appoint my squire knights." After Aicilia finished speaking, she handed over a silver medal, which was the symbol of the knight's entourage - two ears of wheat crossed together, with a vertical sword inserted horizontally in the middle of the wheat ears.

The ears of wheat symbolize common people, and the knight's entourage gives those common people the opportunity to become knights and pick up the sword to protect their land.You can follow a quasi-knight or a full knight for two years, and then have the opportunity to take the exam and become a trainee knight.

"This..." The tall man was speechless for a moment, "Okay, please come in, Mr. Cooktern."

Although the squire knight is not a real knight, he can enter the library accompanied by a real knight.

"You really can figure it out." Soleichuan laughed as he was about to enter the library and stay away from the four people. "It is really an incredible person to accept an empire hero as his squire knight."

Squire knights are not real knights, but servants and followers close to knights. Such things are basically chores for serving knights.As a follower, being able to enter the Imperial Library is already a great benefit.A quasi-knight can appoint one attendant knight, while a full knight can appoint two.

"No matter what height you reach, I can look down at you, but you can only look up at me. Isn't that the kind of relationship we have?"

"That's not true at all! I don't remember such a thing at all!"

After Soleichuan and Aicilia came in, they walked straight in without saying anything to the administrator at the front desk.The Imperial Library is an eighteen-story building, the tallest building in the empire. To be able to build such a tall building is not simply the use of bricks or wooden beams, but also magic wards everywhere that fix those boundaries. Only the structure can create such a magnificent interior space.

As soon as you walk in, there is a smell of paper and books. The neat rows of bookshelves are the pride of the empire. There are tens of millions of books here, including almost all books related to magic and history on the entire continent. Such a huge amount of books This museum is the only one in the entire Allenville continent.

The area comparable to the palace shocked everyone.From the first to the fifteenth floor, there are bookshelves for storing books, while the third floor above is where the library team handles things and the Magic Seven studies the mysteries of the world.

In other words, once you step into the library, you are almost infinitely close to the Magical Seven.

Chapter 22 Imperial Library

"Since the Magic Seven are so powerful, why not send them to settle the war in the south?"

Soleichuan and Aicilia wandered aimlessly in this huge library for a while.

"It is said to be very powerful, but no one knows what the current Magic Seven will be like. They may just be getting paid and goofing around every day. The Magic Seven will continue to this day, but it is just a system. , just a tradition.”

Most of the bookshelves are made from a relatively rare tree in the central continent - Clottey black wood. This wood is deep black from root to branch, and does not need to be dyed with paint. Apply a layer of clear water paint on the outside, and you can feel the heaviness of this wood in its natural color.

Most of the people in the library were wearing the uniforms of knights or priests, and the rest were members of the library team.There are very few people. It can be said that in many places there is no one within ten meters.Most people gathered around the tables, holding one or two thick books and watching quietly.

There are very few people walking around the bookshelves outside. It is indeed a good place to study in peace.On some floors, there are also some alchemy tables or parchments.

This kind of tree has a strange power, that is, it can absorb any magic. All magic power will turn into nothingness in front of this black wood.The output of this kind of wood is very rare, and only Clottey has very little output every year.Therefore, in this library full of magicians and knights, it is most suitable to store and place books.It can effectively prevent someone from using magic to damage books intentionally or unintentionally.

Clottey Kuroki is the perfect fit.

Soleichuan and Aicilia walked upstairs while watching the movements of those within the library team.

After listening to Aicilia's introduction to these pure black woods, Soleichuan also became interested, "Where is Clottey?" It seems that in his impression, he has wandered in many cities, but he has not heard of it. There is such a place name.

"Actually, I don't know either. I only know that it is written in the textbook." Aicilia remembered the narrative in the textbook.

"Actually, it's possible that there are black rock handles hidden under those trees? If the trees absorb the powder of the black rock, will they become the kind of existence that can counteract magic?" Looking at it now, it is not necessarily whether these trees are natural. .

There are too many lies buried in the empire, some are kind, some are malicious, and some are covered in good intentions but are unknown inside.

Aicilia said nothing, looking at those black whirlpools in the abyss, which made people feel that they would attract people's attention.

The library is a large circular building, and the stairs to the upper floor spiral up around the circle.There will be a square gap in the floor of each floor for the stairs to pass through.

I don’t know how long it took, but Soleichuan couldn’t climb anymore. “I said, Aicilia, let’s rest for a while. I’m a little thirsty. I said this library is so big, there should be Is there a place that provides black tea or something?”

"Food or drinks will not be allowed in the library." Icilia glanced at Soleichuan with a disdainful and indifferent expression, "Mr. Hero of the Empire, please hold on to your delicate body for a little longer. We have now reached the tenth Upstairs."

"I said, do we really need to directly ask the people in the library team?" Soleichuan hesitated.

When we were going upstairs, Aicilia and I felt it was necessary to confirm what happened last night with the library team. After all, we were already here.Although there are people from the library team downstairs, they are not in charge. Many of them are only responsible for the order in the library or the book business.

The library teams that are actually responsible for outbound deployment are those on the fifteenth floor.

"There is nothing to hesitate, right? You have promised Ai Fuluo to give you the answer within three days, otherwise you will be jailed. Now there is no time to think about whether you will alert the snake or protect yourself. Isn't that also a casual lie? ?" Aicilia also stopped and looked at Soleichuan who was staggering on the stairs behind her.

"Of course not." Soleichuan seemed to have changed his face again and said seriously, "If the outcome turns to the bad side, will you also follow me to rob the prison?"

"How many times do you have to ask similar questions?"

"I remembered a time and asked about it."

"As long as you are there, I can accompany you to hell." Aicilia's eyes were so firm.

"What about the toilet? If I poop in the toilet in the future and I run out of toilet paper, I will shout to you and you will come with me..."

Before Soleichuan could finish speaking, he was kicked down the stairs by Aicilia. Soleichuan rolled along the stairs to the fifth floor.

The huge commotion attracted some librarians and wanted to drive the two of them out of the library, saying that it seriously affected other people.Soleichuan repeatedly argued that he fell because he accidentally slipped, so the librarians were willing to give up.

But he still gave the two of them a lesson, and kept repeating "Absolute silence must be maintained in the Imperial Library." After saying this, they left belatedly.

I can only say that luckily there were no witnesses at the time.

"Do you want to kill me?" Soleichuan lowered his voice and expressed dissatisfaction with Aicilia.

"Because you said such dirty topics in front of the lady, if I don't kick you out, the lady's mind will be seriously polluted." Aicilia seemed to be satisfied with her excuse and nodded.

"You have absolutely nothing to do with the word lady!" Soleichuan roared in a low voice, "Why did I almost die because of a joke!"

After reaching the fifteenth floor, I tried to go up again, but was stopped by two members of the library team. "Sorry, after this is the working area of ​​the library team, entry is prohibited."

A thin blonde woman spoke first before the slightly fat man behind her.

"We have something we want to investigate." Soleichuan took a step forward, "It's about the incident where the princess was attacked last night."

"The attack on the princess has nothing to do with our library team. You should please come back." I don't know why, but this woman's attitude is very determined.

On the stairs behind her, a layer of light blue can be seen. It is a layer of enchantment and a complex magic. Aicilia cannot understand the spell it consists of, but she can judge the light blue layer. The barrier can isolate and block all sounds.

Chapter 23 One-eyed woman

"I hope to communicate with the person in charge of you." Soleichuan also pretended to be determined.

The yellow-haired woman laughed. Her eyes, which were covered under her hair before she walked out, had a black eyepatch on them, and there were scars and freckles around the eye sockets.There is also a long sword hanging on her waist, but the library team's sword is basically a symbol and decoration, and not many people are really familiar with the use of the sword.

"I am the person in charge, the captain of the Imperial Library Patrol Team [-], Fiona Goulard. If you have any questions, just ask me."

Soleichuan felt a headache. It seemed that he had met a very troublesome woman as soon as he arrived. The woman's eyes were as sharp as a loyal dog, "No... I want to find a more senior leader."

Fiona's hair was not too long, but the hair that just reached her shoulders was very thick. It didn't look like she was arranging it every day. It looked a little messy, and overall she looked a little sloppy.

But her mental outlook is very confident, "I think my position in the library team is already very high. If you have any questions, you can tell me." She will not back down at all.

Aicilia is also a woman who holds a sword, but her hair needs to be fiddled with for a long time every morning when she wakes up before going out. She is suppressing a laugh and watching how Soleichuan deals with this troublesome woman.

"Then...okay." Soleikawa had already begun to have a headache. He was not very good at dealing with such a straightforward and confident person. "Last night, after Her Royal Highness was attacked, I listened to the Gotei Guards. They said that before they arrived at the scene, people from the library team were handling it. So I want to ask, did your library team find anything suspicious when they were handling the scene? "

"I think you are suspicious! What is your purpose in coming to the library?" Fiona seemed a little angry. "The library is a quiet place for people to study. It is full of sacred books. But what do you want? What to do?"

"So I said from the beginning that I was here to investigate some things!" Soleichuan spoke in a low voice, but it could be heard that he was about to collapse.

"So? What do you want to investigate?" Fiona crossed her hands on her chest.

Another fat guy from the library team beside him also smiled awkwardly.

Soleichuan talked for another ten minutes, repeating the cause and effect to Fiona several times before Fiona understood what he meant.

He replied, "It's impossible. All the members of the library team were in the dormitory last night and no one went out."

Soleichuan remembered that Fiona said before that she was the captain of the first patrol team, so this sentence may have some credibility.

"So, were you also doing inspection work last night?" Suoleichuan thought.

"No, the third team was on duty last night, and we are the first team tonight. However, after the sun goes down, the entry and exit of the team members are all registered. The library team is a strictly disciplined organization. I rushed here to be able to join this team. Proud!" Fiona said and became excited.

"No... no one asked you what you think..." Soleichuan muttered in a low voice, and then continued to ask, "Can I talk to the captain of the third team?"

"He is resting in the library team's dormitory. Because it was the night shift last night, the patrol team's rest is absolutely prohibited. Guarding the books here is our supreme and glorious mission, so we need to maintain 120 million points of physical strength!" Feo Nai shook his fist towards Soleichuan, "I feel full of honor once again to be able to work in the library team!"

"Why did the topic return to the issue of glory..." Soleichuan sighed, "So, when can I see him? Because this investigation is important and affects the future direction of the empire. It is important. to the innocence of the Chairman of the Military Affairs Officer, and the situation of future imperial wars! I hope you can understand its importance..."

Before Soleichuan could finish speaking, Fiona grabbed the right to speak, "These things have nothing to do with us. Our Imperial Library Team is only used to protect the books in the library from being stolen or taken out without permission. And hunting down 'thieves'. Political activities have nothing to do with us!"

Soleichuan didn't want to continue talking to this woman, otherwise it would be endless. Every question had to be explained carefully and slowly, and there was really no time.

"Then I'm really sorry for today. Let's say goodbye first. Excuse me." Soleichuan had no choice but to decide to go back with Aicilia first.

Some information has been obtained, which means that no matter what, Chrisman's use of the library team this time is not official, at least he did not let the captain of the first patrol team know such a thing.But we cannot rule out the possibility that people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the library team cooperated secretly.

In short, Chrisman is definitely weird, and the suspicion that he is the main culprit has increased a lot.

After walking out of the library and getting on Marcus' carriage again, Aicilia said, "It seems that with our power, we can't touch those things."

"What should I say?" Soleichuan was still thinking about the possibility of how Chrisman colluded with the library.

"What do you think of that Fiona?" Aicilia showed sharp eyes, as if she smelled something.

Soleichuan thought for a moment and said, "It's not my type anyway."

I thought Aicilia would complain or take revenge on herself, but unexpectedly she had a serious expression on her face, "That performance just now was all fake."

"How do you know?" Soleichuan felt that Fiona's behavior just now was quite natural, and it felt natural.

"A woman's perception."

"Eh?" I didn't expect it to be such an ambiguous reason.

"And don't you think it's strange? The library team is a very rigorous organization. Since she can be the captain of the first inspection team, do you think she will be such a careless and lack of brains? Indeed, the library team also has many people. People with unique personalities, such as people like...Uzi Cuxi. But most of them are sent out as troops to chase 'thieves'. If the captain of the first patrol team is such a person, no matter how you say it, you will feel Strange and contradictory, right? Do you think the upper management of the library team would really entrust such an important job to someone like that?"

When Aicilia said this, Soleichuan also felt that it made sense, "It seems like we are really going to become prison robbers." Now there is no substantial evidence or witnesses in hand, and all he has is some conjectures. , and these things are completely untenable at trial.

Chapter 24 The little girl selling roses

"It seems that it is completely impossible to predict how many people Chrisman has won over. Maybe he has already known about our meeting with Ai Fuluo." Aicilia was making bad plans.

"That is to say, if no evidence is found tomorrow night, will there be a prison robbery?" Soleichuan stretched and said lazily.

"Didn't you say three days?"
