Chapter 109 Heart of the Griffon
There is a huge library in Geffenhardt Castle, a circular structure, divided into upper and lower floors, and tens of thousands of pictures are stored.Ordinary people have no chance to enter, but Lu Ping, as a diplomatic envoy, asked to enter the library, and he still got Catherine's permission.

There were two guards standing guard at the door, and the other two guards followed Lu Ping and Long Xiao Ziyun into the library, never leaving.How could Lu Ping care about reading?But he had to put on a show, picked up this book and looked at that book, and glanced at the two guards behind his back.

The library has a large area, with many bookcases neatly arranged, and even the circular walls are placed in a circle against the wall.It may be colder in winter, so there are three fireplaces evenly distributed on the wall. At this time, there is no fire, but I don't know which one the cook is referring to.

The two guards followed him all the time, Lu Ping didn't even have the guts to touch the fireplace, he was anxious but helpless, he could only pretend that he was interested in books and spend time with them.

The collection of books here is very rich, some are exquisite thick leather books, some are scrolls, and some are tattered sheepskins.There are classification marks on each piece of information, or continental history and legends; or geography, climate, and biological habits; or about magic research, item manufacturing, and creature taming.

Lu Ping flipped through it casually, and found that some things were actually helpful to him, but there were some materials that were not available on the official website, and some materials would be automatically recorded in his adventure diary, so he temporarily put the idea of ​​stealing things on On one side, concentrate on reading the book.Long Xiao Ziyun also became very interested, holding the book and reading it with relish.

Regarding the growth of pets, it is true that pets with higher grades are more difficult to raise in the early stage, because they need more experience, but as they grow up, their intelligence is much higher than that of ordinary species, and they will gain more experience from their owners , the growth will gradually accelerate in the later stage, and the smarter the riding pet will grow faster.And every time a pet with a higher rank upgrades, it will get more attribute points, and its strength will be reflected.

The pets at level 0-5 are in the cub stage, just like a child still nursing, and need to be carefully cultivated; the pets at level 5-10 are called the growth stage, and begin to show their own characteristics. During this period, the owner should communicate more with it. To develop its potential, the higher the pet's rank, the more potential it has; if it is above level 10, it is an adult, it can fly, run, and ride, and its growth rate begins to slow down...

Before they knew it, Lu Ping and Long Xiao Ziyun stayed in the library for more than three hours. The two guards finally lost their patience and pulled up a chair to sit there chatting, but their eyes were still on the two of them.

"Let's go forward, don't look back." Lu Ping said to Long Xiao Ziyun in a secret language, and the two pretended to pick up a book, and walked forward slowly, while the two guards still sat still without any suspicion.

The library is circular, and if you move forward from the passage along the edge, people behind will not be able to see it.But both of them walked to a place where the guards couldn't see them, and they would definitely follow, so Lu Ping asked Long Xiao Ziyun to stand where they could see him, and after he walked a few steps, the two guards couldn't see him anymore .

The two guards could see Long Xiao Ziyun, so they thought that Lu Ping was also standing beside them, but they still didn't get up, chatting about how many enemies they killed with the old king in a certain battle, and split the enemy in half.

Lu Ping walked forward lightly, and there was a fireplace not far in front. He stretched out his hand and pushed against the wall inside, but there was no push, and he touched the dust below for a while, but there was still no movement.Maybe there is a secret door here, which is used for the owner to escape in case of emergency, but without super high insight skills, I'm afraid I can't see where the mechanism is.

I fumbled in the fireplace for a long time, and my hands were black, but there was nothing else.Lu Ping moved on to explore the next fireplace, but this one was parallel to the two guards. As long as the two guards turned their heads, they could see him from the passage between the bookshelves.

Long Xiao Ziyun was a little anxious: "Did you find it? Hurry up, I'm in a cold sweat!"

Lu Ping said: "Not yet, don't be nervous, it will be fine soon."

The two guards didn't see Lu Ping for a while, they became suspicious, and stood up, and now Long Xiao Ziyun was so frightened that her legs went limp, she had never been a thief before!
"Pretend to turn your head and talk to me!" Lu Ping said to her hastily.

Long Xiao Ziyun turned his head hastily, and said to the air: "This book is the most interesting...Why are you doing this, shaking your head without even reading it, it's just perfunctory to me!"

Seeing her talking to Lu Ping, the two guards took it for granted that Lu Ping was next to her, so they sat down again and continued to brag about their heroic deeds.

Lu Ping disappeared, and walked gently to the second fireplace, which looked almost identical to the previous one.He pushed and pressed various places a few times but there was no movement. He was about to give up when his eyes suddenly stopped on a wall brick with two inconspicuous small holes on it.

These two small holes are only as thick as a little finger, shaped like a circle with a small piece cut off, hidden in a dark corner, and you have to squat down and search carefully to see it.Lu Ping tried it, and found that his little finger couldn't get in. He glanced to the side and saw a tongs for holding charcoal fire. The handles were about the same size and shape, so he picked up the tongs and inserted them upside down. It was just right. .

He pushed forward, there was no movement, and then turned to the right, there was a soft "cackling" sound, and a part of the furnace wall began to turn and sag inward.

Although the noise was not loud, it was more obvious in this quiet library, and the two guards turned their heads to look this way.Lu Ping was already invisible, they couldn't see it, the fireplace was pitch black, they were far away and had a limited perspective, so they didn't see anything unusual.

"Cough, cough..." Long Xiao Ziyun was quite clever, and immediately pretended to cough a few times, the eyes of the two guards turned to her, and the slight gurgling sound became less obvious.

Lu Ping broke out in a cold sweat. Seeing that the guard didn't get up, and didn't look to this side, he hurriedly got into the hole in the fireplace.

Inside was a deep vertical well with a diameter of about 1.2 meters. He didn't know what was waiting for him below, so he didn't dare to jump down directly. He spread his hands and feet to support him, and moved down bit by bit.The recessed furnace wall moved back to its original place silently, as if it hadn't been moved.

Lu Ping moved down briskly, descending a full ten meters before reaching the bottom, there was another "clucking" sound, and a hole appeared in the wall.Looking outside, it turned out to be another library, but much smaller than the one above. The place where he came out was a square pillar.

Long Xiao Ziyun asked in a secret language: "Have you found it? I'm so nervous that I can hardly breathe."

"Hold on, I've already entered the secret room, and I'm looking for it!"

This secret library has an exit, and Lu Ping didn't know if there was anyone guarding it outside, so he didn't dare to open the door, so he had to search inside first.In addition to books, there were some strange items on the bookshelf. He saw at a glance that a gemstone with red light had attributes.

[Ruby]: Ruby contains powerful magical energy, which can be used to make powerful potions, potency: 51.

This kind of thing must be very valuable, and the thief is not empty-handed. Lu Ping immediately took the sheep and put it into the package. His eyes swept around, and soon he saw a stone shining with a strange luster.

[Meteorite Mine]: This meteorite that fell from the sky contains some unknown metal composition, which may be able to forge a good weapon.Attributes: Intellect +20, all magic resistance +5%.

This is a top-level ore with excellent properties. The properties of the ore will definitely be brought into the finished product, so ores with properties are very precious. Lu Ping put it into the package unceremoniously.

He continued to wander around, but he didn't see any usable things anymore, and he didn't know if the heart of the griffin was hidden here. If it was hidden here, then it might be in some box or interlayer?He scanned the corners and corners, and suddenly found that there seemed to be something between the bottom of a bookshelf and the wall, and a corner of less than one millimeter was exposed.

If you didn't squat down and look for it with special concentration, even if you walked past it ten times, you wouldn't notice something inside. What is it that hides so secretly? .

Lu Ping pulled the bookshelf out hard, and the thing he was holding fell down. It was a piece of paper the size of two palms, with a magic circle and many strange symbols drawn on it.

[Unknown Magic Teleportation Scroll]: This is a mysterious teleportation scroll, no one knows where it will lead, so tear it open when you are ready.Special item, the effect is unknown, please use it with caution!

Lu Ping is of course not ready for it now, no doubt put it in the package first, and then continue to look for other things.

Long Xiao Ziyun suddenly exclaimed: "They stood up...they came towards me, what should I do? What should I do?"

Lu Ping didn't know what to do, he hadn't found the heart of the griffin yet, so he could only say, "Don't be afraid, hold on for a while..."

Where will the heart of the griffin be hidden?Maybe he didn't hide here. Time was running out, so Lu Ping had no choice but to run to the door, stealth again and gently opened the door. There were no guards outside, it was a long corridor, and he didn't know which direction to go.

Long Xiao Ziyun shouted: "They arrested me and started looking for you."

Lu Ping was also very anxious, but he was a bit unwilling to give up like this. He walked quickly along the passage, and heard a faint police whistle before walking far. It is estimated that the guards in the entire castle were alarmed and began to look for him.

The passage spiraled downwards, descending tens of meters, and then turned into a straight corridor. At the end, there were two Juggernaut-level guards in golden armor standing motionless, almost blocking the entire passage. Behind them It is a very strong iron gate, firmly set in the whole rock.

Lu Ping cheered up, this must be a treasury, and the heart of the griffin must be hidden there, but how can we bypass these two guards and open the iron gate?

Catherine's voice suddenly sounded above Lu Ping's head: "Some thieves may have entered the secret passage of the library, immediately check whether the contents are still there!"

Lu Ping was taken aback, and hurriedly raised his head to look up. Of course, there was no one on it. There was a copper pipe on the top, and the sound came from there.

The two guards responded with a "Yes!", each took out a key and inserted it into the small hole in the iron door, and then pushed the heavy iron door open with a bang.

There is only one opportunity, if you don't enter now, there is no chance!Lu Ping gritted his teeth, continued to remain invisible, and walked forward with the lightest steps. Fortunately, the light here is dim. As long as there is no sound or obvious air flow, the guards should not find him.

Inside is a stone room of more than ten square meters. There is a stone platform in the center. On the top of the stone platform is a silver plate with a fist-sized heart-shaped amulet on it. There are more than a dozen crystals on the surrounding walls. A light blue light is focused on the central amulet.

Gryphon Heart!Lu Ping was so nervous that his heart was about to jump out, he was so close!
The two guards glanced at each other, still a little uneasy, and walked around the stone platform on both sides. As soon as they left the door, Lu Ping immediately followed in, moved sideways against the wall, and shrank in the darkest corner of the wall. Probably squeezed into a corner and held his breath.The light of all the crystals was forcibly concentrated on the heart of the griffin by magic, the center was particularly bright, and the corners of the stone chamber felt particularly dark in comparison.

The two guards walked around to the door, glanced at the entire stone room again, but did not find Lu Ping hiding in the corner, and finally closed the door with confidence and reported to Queen Catherine.

Lu Ping secretly groaned, people came in, and there was a chance to get things, but how to get out?He has a town gate on him, but the town gate can only be used in the wild, directly returning to the nearest city, and cannot be used in the city.Only the gate of time and space can choose which city to go to, and then it can be used in the city, but he does not have a scroll of the gate of time and space, what should he do if he is locked in the treasure house now?
Long Xiao Ziyun's voice came again: "They took me to see the queen, what should I do? What should I say?"

Lu Ping calmed down: "Don't be in a hurry, don't panic. When you see the queen, say... that I accidentally tore a scroll and it disappeared suddenly. You didn't steal anything or do anything bad. They won't take it away. How are you?"

"But what about you? What do you do?"

"Of course I have a way, you don't have to worry about me."

Let's talk about how to escape later, get the heart of the griffin first, even if you commit suicide and go back to the city, it will be worth it!Lu Ping immediately stood up, walked to the edge of the platform, looked around carefully, and found no traps or traps, so he reached out and grabbed the silver chain hanging from the heart of the griffin.

At this moment, his arm felt like he was being electrocuted, and there seemed to be thousands of troops fighting in his ears. He could feel the heart of the griffin struggling, and the forces of light and darkness colliding and intertwined. endlessly.

In just one-tenth of a second, all feelings disappeared completely. Without the irradiation of the crystal light, the heart of the griffin appeared dull and lifeless.

[Heart of the Griffin]: Since Leon Geffenhardt established the Erasia Empire in 100 years of silence, the Heart of the Griffin has guarded the empire, but unfortunately Nicola Geffenhardt was turned into When undead creatures, this powerful amulet is also tainted and loses its magic power.Broken item, unusable.

Lu Ping put the heart of the griffin into the package. Anyway, this task is completed, how should I escape now?Suicide is not reconciled, the loss of losing a level is huge, and the things in the package may also explode. If the heart of the griffin is exposed, you will really vomit blood.

After flipping through the package for a while, Lu Ping's eyes stopped on the unknown magic teleportation scroll. No matter where it is teleported to, it is at least a chance, right?

The guards outside would come in at any time. Once someone caught him, his life would be lost and his Griffin Heart would be gone. Catherine might immediately start attacking Harmondale in a rage.So Lu Ping didn't dare to wait for a second, and immediately tore open the scroll, and a red portal appeared, and he went in without hesitation...
