Twelve Trials from Scratch

In addition, from the standpoint of the main sponsor of the king's candidate, it is also very suspicious to let Subaru Natsuki stay by Emilia's side when he knows that his identity is unknown and he loves the sponsor.

And it is absolutely impossible for Roswaal to be an ignorant idiot, so why would he tolerate such a suspicious person like Subaru Natsuki to such an extent?The most likely reason is that Natsuki Subaru has the value of being so tolerated, and he knows what that value is.

So the question is, what is the great value of the dead house of 486, and is it worthy of Roswaal's attention?There is only one answer - death returns.

To sum up, although I don't know the reason, Roswaal probably knew that Subaru Natsuki had the ability to return from death, and foresaw that he would appear next to Emilia, so he supported Emilia's participation in the king's election. to achieve some purpose.

So what Roswaal valued was not Emilia, but Natsuki Subaru.Because of this, all kinds of his rudeness and chaos will be tolerated, because his tool is indispensable in Roswaal's plan.

In this way, all of Roswaal's anomalous behavior can make sense.Of course, there are countless possibilities in the world, and this answer is just speculation and may not be correct, but this does not prevent Su Qi from using it as a reference, and be wary of Roswaal, who is likely to be behind the scenes.

"Then, if it turns out that the forecast is wrong and there are two people coming, what will Mule Boy do?"

Just as Su Qi was speculating in his mind, Rem pushed a small cart full of various things back to the room, "Guest, my sister said that I can let you go to the library to read, as long as the items are not damaged. In addition, Rem put some daily Supplies and a change of clothes have been delivered, but I am very sorry, there is no extra men's clothing in the mansion, only the deacon uniform?"

"Thank you, I don't have any special requirements, so the deacon uniform is fine."

What Su Qi is wearing now is not pajamas and slippers, but a commoner suit and boots.This is because the pajamas and slippers were damaged during the battle with Elsa, and they were bought by Ram that night in the capital, and they were worn first, but of course they were not good clothes because they had limited funds.

In comparison, the black and white tuxedo deacon uniforms of the Roswaal family are more high-end and chic, so after Rem left, he immediately changed the clothes that were disguised as commoners into deacon uniforms and matching leather shoes, Then I threw the real deacon uniform and shoes into the portable space.

Next, Su Qi left the room, found Nayue Subaru, quietly put the Cong Shen Ping in a certain piece of clothing attached to him, ordered it to monitor at all times, and reported to himself if there was any abnormality, then greeted the others, Go straight to the library.

The Roswaal Mansion is very large, and its basic structure can be divided into front and rear courtyards, the main body of the mansion, and the left and right sub-buildings connected to the main body.The library is on the third floor of the building on the right. According to Lei Mu's instructions, Su Qi walked for a while before reaching the door of the library, and then found...

"What a coincidence."

Through the pupil of reality, Su Qi sensed the unusual energy fluctuations on the door. Su Qi opened the door and entered as if nothing had happened, and then... found a four-hundred-year-old man wearing a rose-red dress and long cream-colored hair curled into spiral double ponytails. loli.

Even Wang Xuan is a forbidden word...

Chapter 18 Failed to strike up a conversation

There was silence in the spacious room. Rows of neat bookshelves took up most of the space. There were small tables, chairs and tea sets in the aisle directly opposite the door. A book ladder stood on the left. Loli sat there.

She looked only about eleven or twelve years old, with a petite figure and a lovely face. Her long cream-colored hair was tied into a spiral double ponytail with a pink lace ribbon, revealing a smooth forehead.She was wearing a long rose red dress with an open front hem, her legs were wrapped in pink and purple striped socks, and she wore a small crown hair accessory in her right hair, like a delicate and lovely doll.

The timing doesn't seem right...

When Su Qi stepped into this room, he happened to see a loli named Beatrice curled up on the book ladder, tightly holding an untitled book with a black cover, which was about the same thickness and size as a dictionary. Head, blue eyes full of loneliness and melancholy... Obviously, he was in a very bad mood, and he happened to bump in at this moment.

Sensing that someone had entered the forbidden library, Beatrice's gloomy eyes lit up, and she immediately looked up. While seeing Su Qi clearly, the light in her eyes quickly dimmed again, and she said indifferently: "In one day, trespassing on a lady's boudoir Betty was really annoyed by the fact that there were only two disrespectful people."

While speaking, he sat up straight and put the book in his arms into the small grid on the side of the book ladder.

Even though the other party stared down at him with cold eyes, Su Qi didn't show the slightest change on his face, and just said calmly: "It's too much to say trespassing. I was going to the library, but after opening the door, I came here inexplicably." , can you really blame me for this kind of thing?"

"Get out!" Feeling agitated and not intending to talk nonsense with the other party, Beatrice said directly: "This is the forbidden library, and it is also Betty's private room. It is not a place where idlers like you can come in."

"The Forbidden Bookstore does sound like an important place where idlers are forbidden to enter, so logically, as a guest, I should leave honestly as you said, but..."

Speaking of this, Su Qi suddenly raised his head and raised his chin slightly, and said with a dignified expression: "I refuse! Because your condescending tone of contempt made me a little uncomfortable, so if you want me to leave obediently, please sincerely ask me Apologize, Heizi."

"The strange name somehow made Betty feel uncomfortable." Beatrice stood up, and walked down the book ladder with a cold face, "It's almost reached the limit. Humans, if you ask for mercy, do it now." .”

"Sorry, my dignity is sacred and inviolable. Although the perpetrator must be punished, I have no intention of surrendering."

As she walked, she hummed softly, "Narrow-minded men are really ugly."

Su Qi crossed his arms and confronted each other tit for tat, "Only a loli who is proud but not coquettish is not cute."

Finally walking in front of him, Beatrice raised her head with unkind eyes, "This is the last mercy... Get out immediately, or let Betty show you."

"Oh? What good things do you want to give me? Let me have a look." Su Qi looked down and smiled: "But this is a forbidden library, right? The books in it should be very precious things, right? Won't fighting here cause damage to the books?"

"Do you think Betty didn't consider this kind of thing?" Beatrice sneered, "All the bookshelves here are equipped with protective magic, just because you, a mortal who is neither an elf nor a magician, think you can break them ?"

"Is that right?"

As soon as the words fell, Su Qi slightly let go of the blockade on his own spiritual power.

The next moment, sensing the abnormal and huge power fluctuations spreading from the person in front of her, Beatrice's eyes narrowed slightly, and her face instantly became serious.It's not mana, and it can't be summed up in simple Odd. It's... the soul, the power of the soul is bigger than the great elf that can realize the reality.

Although a strong soul does not mean a strong power, but those who have a strong soul can never be a mediocre person, and their instincts are also warning of danger, so the person in front of him may have the power to threaten him and destroy the forbidden library... …

Realizing this, she stared at Su Qi coldly and fell silent for a while.

"How?" The latter took the initiative to ask, "Apologize? Or start a war?"

"Hmph, Betty wouldn't apologize to someone like you."

"It seems that you are very prejudiced against me... In this way, it's okay not to apologize, but as compensation, how about letting me stay here and read the book?"

Beatrice narrowed her eyes slightly, "Cunning human, is this your purpose?"

Su Qi nodded straightly, "That's right, because I'm very free now. And just like the more banned something is, the more curious it is, I also want to see if there is any interesting content in the banned book here. Or Said, although this is called your own private room, but if outsiders want to borrow the books inside, they still need the consent of the owner of this mansion?"

"It's just a claim to the outside world that the Roswaal family's forbidden library is only guarded and managed by Betty, so there is no need for that guy to agree."

"Then, Master Beatrice, the manager of the library, what do you think of my suggestion?"

Beatrice looked at Su Qi.Although this powerful human being of unknown origin had changed into a respectful name, his expression and eyes did not show the slightest sign of flinching. Obviously, he decided to use the problem to the end, forcing himself to choose between starting a war and letting him read the forbidden book.

So, how to choose?

The answer is without a doubt.Compared with the important mission that I have persisted in for four hundred years, mere verbal disputes and issues of face are irrelevant.As for who the other party is, and whether the knowledge obtained from the forbidden library will cause harm to the outside world, she doesn't care at all.Before that person came, her world only had this small room.

"one day."

In the end, Beatrice raised a finger and said with disgust on her small face: "Betty only allows you to stay here for one day, and you are not allowed to make any unnecessary noises. Get out immediately after watching, or we will start a war."

"Deal. But I can't stay here all day, so can I divide the stay into several times?"

"It's up to you." She turned around, walked towards the book ladder, and said coldly: "No matter what, Betty will keep her promise and let you stay here for a day. If you want to come in outside Knock three times on any door, then tap three times, and Betty will open the door to the forbidden library for you. But humans, you'd better not be too presumptuous."

"Don't worry, I won't go in and out many times on purpose to bother you."

After Su Qi finished speaking, he walked to the nearest bookshelf as if he was in his own home.

"Fire Magic: Perpetual Frozen World"... He took out a book at random, and the texts of other worlds were automatically transformed into the most understandable information form and appeared in his mind under the system's built-in "General Knowledge of All Worlds" skill.

But after opening the book, he found that the forbidden library contains advanced knowledge. Although he knows the content without the foundation of magic in this world, he can't understand it. Research.

"By the way..." Su Qi flipped through the book quickly, looking over his memory, while still having time to speak, "Miss Beatrice, is there anything I can help you with?"

Beatrice, who had already sat back on the book ladder, just pulled out another book and was about to read, frowned slightly, "What stupid things are you talking about?"

"When you first came in, you looked troubled, didn't you?"

"Why would you say such a thing?"

"As a grown man, seeing a cute little girl in trouble, it's natural to want to help, right?"

Her eyes were cold, "It's not that I want to help others from the bottom of my heart, it's just that I'm influenced by my appearance, I'm just influenced by my moral inertia and feel that I should help, and at the same time, I want to get the satisfaction of being a good person... This kind of cheap and The pompous handout Betty doesn't need."

"It's too much to say. Although I don't think I'm a good person, I have a little bit of kindness."

"With a false face like a mask, just staring at the indifferent eyes you want, you are almost exactly the same as Roswaal, and you can't even believe a word you say."

Su Qi was slightly taken aback, touched his face, his eyes flickered, and murmured softly, "A face like a mask, is it just looking at the eyes you want..."

"If you want to read, read quietly, Betty doesn't want to hear your annoying voice again."

With a final word of warning, Beatrice opened the book and looked down at the pages, her eyes out of focus.In a direction that Su Qi couldn't see, the immature face once again revealed the indelible loneliness and sadness, and murmured in a barely audible voice: "Such a person cannot be that people."

……

In the evening, Roswaal's residence.

There is a magnificent sunset in the sky, and the vestibule under the setting sun, the lawn is trimmed just right, spreading out like a soft green carpet.Su Qi was wearing a black and white deacon uniform, and Nayue Subaru was still wearing the same tracksuit. The two were holding a practice wooden sword in their forehand hands, and they were sparring in the wide vestibule.

However, although it is said to be a sparring, it is actually a brutal and unilateral "slaughter".

boom! !

The wooden sword was out of hand, and the battle started only one round, and Subaru Natsuki suffered his 23rd shameful defeat today.By the way, it's only been a little over half an hour since the two started sparring.

"Young hero is so handsome. I, Yulang Su Qi, haven't seen such a beautiful buttocks backwards for a long time, in the style of flat sand and wild geese."

"Su Qisang, stop mocking me."

Nayue Subaru, who was lying on the ground, got up and smiled wryly, "I'm starting to think now, is it the right choice to learn kendo from Su Qisang?"

"I didn't expect Subaru to take the initiative to ask me to make up lessons, because you don't look like a very hardworking person."

"If possible, of course I would like to steal it too, but... even Emilia-chan is learning all kinds of knowledge about being a candidate for the king, so of course I can't stand still."

"It's a good thing to be self-motivated. After all, the most solid support is yourself. So, let's stop here for today's actual kendo combat. I have explained the basic points to you. Next, you need to lay a good foundation first."

"Wait? Is it over so soon? I feel like I still have more energy."

"is it?"

As Su Qi said, he suddenly slapped Nayue Subaru on the shoulder, directly slapping him so soft that he lay down again on the spot.

"Don't be brave. Although the training time this time is not long, the intensity is very high under my guidance, and it is the first training. I know the extent of your body wear and tear best. If you continue, you will hurt yourself. gone."

"All right……"

Nayue Subaru gritted his teeth secretly, and forcibly dragged his sore body up again.

"By the way, what are you going to do next? Will you stay in this mansion?"

Su Qi changed the subject.

"Well, yes..." Caiyue Subaru rubbed his shoulders and looked at the main house that was gradually turning on the lights, and said with a complicated expression: "Su Qisang, when I just came to this world yesterday, I was actually very scared. Well. But it’s different now, I already have a goal... No matter what, I want to keep Emilia by my side and help her.”

"Then what capacity do you want to stay with her?"

"Of course it's a knight... Even though I think so, I'm afraid knights in this world are not so easy to become, and I also have to worry about the sponsor's position, so at the very least, I want to be a servant." .”

Su Qi gave him a weird look, "You are a modern person, but you want to be someone else's servant... Subaru, don't you have that kind of hobby?"

"How is it possible." Natsuki Subaru sighed, "The current mansion is too big for two maids, Ram and Rem, to be busy, so I want to help..."

"Then take the opportunity to attack the maids and sisters, and complete the ambition of opening a harem?"

"That's right...it's strange!" Natsuki Subaru blushed a little, "I only love Emilia-chan, it's absolutely impossible to fall in love with anyone else."

"is that so?"

"Ahem, anyway, my ability is limited. I want to help out and have a good relationship with other people, so I can only do this."

"Well, since you've thought it over clearly, then do as you please..." Having said this, Su Qi became serious, "But let me give you a piece of advice first, be careful with Roswaal."
