Soul Echo

As a typical city that has just begun to industrialize, Vienna is very quiet at night, and darkness envelopes the entire city.

Even in the lord's mansion, there are only a few places where candles are emitting light.

Vienna is a city established in the post-war era, so there is no castle and only a mansion in the city center.

Nevertheless, Vienne maintains an army full of muskets.

However, the defense force of the lord's mansion was not very strict. Lilian easily climbed over the wall under the guidance of Zhong Ye, and saw a few soldiers idly leaning against the wall or pillar.

They were yawning and chatting with each other, ignoring her and Zhong Ye's arrival.

Lilian subconsciously slowed down her breathing, but she heard Zhong Ye whisper in her ear: "Adjust your breathing, let yourself and the surrounding fuse together."

This is reminding her to use that [Breath Adjustment] Skill?

Lilian was a little distressed. In the past, every time she used [Breath Adjustment], she had to use it in a quiet condition. After a long time, she got used to it. She never tried whether she could exercise or not. It can also be used when... it should be possible, right?

[Skills used: Breathing... Failed to use]

[Skills used: Breathing... Failed to use]

[Skills used: Breathing... ...use failure]

A series of failure messages appeared in the retina, Lilian couldn't help pursing her lips, but she didn't give up, listening to Zhong Ye's breathing, she used the skill again.

[Use skill: Breathing...Used successfully]

Lilian subconsciously clicked to use it again, but the prompt was [skill effect is continuing].

"Let's go."

Before Lillian could react, Zhong Ye stepped forward.

Lillian followed along in a daze, and it took a while before she realized what had happened.

Under the state of [breathing], Lilian felt her mind clear, and even if she realized what had happened, she was not as surprised as usual, and could think and look at it quite calmly. what's happening right now.

Amazing! If this skill can also be used in reality...

The lord's mansion is lax, and Zhong Ye can find a few deficiencies in the defense at a glance. If more professional people sneak in, it is estimated that Find out more.

The entire mansion was within his perception range, and no matter what happened, he could not escape his attention.

Under the leadership of Zhong Ye, Lillian managed to avoid all eyeliners and entered the mansion from the first floor window.

At this point, there will be no guards.

Lilian sighed in relief, looking at the cheering barrage, the corners of her mouth pursed slightly.

They were walking on a soft carpet, and the soles of their boots were covered with mud. As long as someone passed by, they would find that a 'thief' had sneaked into the mansion.

Rubbing her boots with the carpet near the foot of the wall, Lillian looked around.

This is a room that looks a bit like a reception room, and the furnishings bear many similarities to other reception rooms she's seen.

Zhong Ye walked to the door, shook the handle lightly, and pulled the door open.

"No lock."

He turned his head and called Lillian, and left the room first.

Lilian hurriedly followed, and after entering the corridor, she was plunged into darkness and couldn't see anything.

"...teacher?"

"Yes."

Confirming Zhong Ye's position, Lillian immediately took two steps forward and reached out to explore front.

The back of her hand touched Zhong Ye's arm, she shrank slightly, and then grabbed the arm with her backhand. Zhong Ye didn't break free and let her hold it tightly.

Feeling the security of Zhong Ye by her side, Lilian was no longer afraid of the dark, and listened to her breathing quietly, her heart was at peace.

But, for some reason, her heartbeat is speeding up...

I don't know how long after walking in the dark, Lillian heard the sound of the door shaft turning slightly, and followed the sound Going past, I saw that there was a wisp of moonlight gradually widening along the crack of the door.

Today the weather is sunny and there is no wind or frost, and the moon, which has been hidden by the dark clouds for a long time, can finally come out to let the wind blow.

Feeling a force coming from her arm, Lillian followed Zhong Ye's footsteps and walked into the room.

"This is... the collection room?"

Lilian could see the interior of the room clearly by the moonlight streaming in from the window.

This room is much more spacious than the previous one. There are many glass cabinets in the room, some are vertical and some are horizontal.

Those objects that seem to sense the senses of history are placed in the counters, and the glass of the cabinets is wiped clean, even at night, Lillian can also The collections are clearly visible.

An intact armor, a broken long sword, these two diametrically opposed things were placed in one place, apart from this, as well as ancient currency, giant beast benefits tooth.

Although there is no lack of strange things can't be called, as the lord of a small city, the lord of Vienna has done his best.

In the most conspicuous part of the room, there is a scepter, the head of the scepter is like a hook, and the body is covered with circular patterns. If you look closely, you will find that the patterns are actually made up of characters. .

This is not an Earth museum, so there is no sign outside the glass case.

Zhong Ye and Lillian strolled around here twice without touching anything. After realizing that they couldn't find anything here, the two left the collection room.

There are not many rooms in the mansion, some rooms are occupied by Zhong Ye, and Zhong Ye can hear their breathing and snoring, and some rooms are locked, and these rooms will not be put in for the time being. among the locations.

Zhong Ye took Lillian from the first floor to the second floor and then to the third floor, and investigated all the unlocked and uninhabited rooms along the way, and finally found on the third floor. The lord's study.

This surprised Zhong Ye. The collection room, utility room, kitchen and library are all right to be locked, but such a confidential place as the study room is not locked?

Although has several points of doubts, Zhong Ye is not polite.

Because the curtains were not drawn, it was pitch black inside the study, Zhong Ye walked to the window, carefully observed, and confirmed that there were no traps or marks on the curtains, and then opened the curtains.

Swish——

The moonlight shines obliquely, illuminating the whole room.

Lilian took advantage of the situation and looked around, her eyes wandering in the room with the moonlight, and then she couldn't help but let out a low surprise.

In this study, she saw many books whose names were not translated, which made her wonder, did the production team not make the content of those books?

Thinking like this, Lillian stepped forward, took down one of the books, and opened it to read.

But it wasn't what she imagined. The book could be read normally, and the regular words were written in it, but she couldn't read it.

——Is it possible that these books are not written in Western Lunar language?

After taking a few glances, Lillian put the book back in her hand and took off another one. She was surprised to find that the content of this book was written in another language, which was different from the previous one. Ben is completely different.

Put it down, pick it up, put it down, pick it up, and so on and so forth, Lillian saw five or six different words on this bookshelf alone.

"I understand..." Lillian whispered.

"These books all have traces of flipping through." Zhong Ye took out a book from the bookshelf, put his fingers against the books on both sides of the vacancy, and slipped his eyes into it, but he didn't see it on the wall inside the bookshelf Ash accumulation.

"If nothing else, these books are often read."

Although Xilu is a common language in the whole Xilu, it is only a daily language. There will be one other language used to communicate and write one's own knowledge inheritance.

It is said that this is the result of the confrontation with the King of Wisdom. At that time, knowledge was poison. The more you learned, the closer you were to the abyss.

Mages and scholars who perceive this are no longer spreading inheritance and knowledge as they used to, but hiding knowledge - as they are now.

After Shetier became the [Knowledge Guardian], the dark period of several decades was ended, and these self-created languages ​​were gradually abandoned. Now the synonymous polysyllabic word in Western Lu language is that one product of the times.

Zhong Ye was quite surprised that a lord could read these books.

The only place they can rummage is the bookshelf. The desk drawer that the lord uses in his daily office is locked, and it is not suitable for violent prying.

But after reading these books, Zhong Ye also knew where to investigate next.

He restored the bookshelf, closed the curtains, and took Lillian out of the study to the library.

—there should be information he wants to know!
