Soul Echo

The lighting conditions in the library are not as good as those in the study, and although the weather is sunny, it is still winter, the deposited clouds and mists are flying in the wind, and the moon is flickering.

It wasn't late at night, so Lillian didn't go offline either.

Because the light is not very good, she can only use the occasional moonlight to distinguish which books she can understand among the dozen books on the shelves in front of her.

After listening to Zhong Ye's explanation, she and the audience had already learned about the difficult history of that year, and couldn't help feeling that the production team was really careful enough to even make such details.

But after knowing the background, and reading these books written in other languages, there is a kind of inexplicable taste.

"...There is no dictionary."

Lilian was stunned for a moment, then turned her head and looked towards Zhong Ye, "What?"

Zhong Ye crouched in a In front of the bookshelf, his fingers stroked the rows of book spines in front of him.

"I read all the books, but I didn't find a dictionary in it." Zhong Ye gently took a deep breath, "These books have been read many times, indicating that the reader should know These words..."

Here's the problem -

The dark period lasted only several decades, and then people gradually abandoned these words and used them again Western Lu language inheritance knowledge.

There is no who uses these scripts at all, because they don't even have a matching language, just plain text.

And they are all 'dead languages' now, let alone users, how to learn these languages ​​after hundreds of years is still a problem.

Lilian didn't think of this at first, but through the barrage prompt, she also noticed this doubt.

According to the information obtained from the study, those who have learned those words are most likely the lords of Vienne who can read these books, but where did the lords learn these words?

Standing in front of the bookshelf, Zhong Ye pondered for a moment, then put these doubts behind him, searched for the part that he could understand from hundreds of books, and then took it out and read it.

"Lilian, do me a favor and look at what's written in those books."

Although I've read some of the books in the study, the books in the study are of all types. have.

Geography, history, fables, and even a few magic books.

Lilian readily agreed, and eagerly took down a book written in the Western Lunar language from the shelf, and flipped through the book in her hand while communicating with the barrage whispering.

Different from Lillian, Zhong Ye's reading speed is very fast, almost every two minutes, he will finish the book in his hand, and then move on to the next one.

His eyeballs have been influenced by the soul and have evolved many times during the upgrade process. As long as the environment is not completely dull, even the faint rays of light can allow him to see the surrounding environment and the sight in front of him clearly. things.

The night is not completely dark, even in the middle of the night, there is a little light.

The types of books in the library are more complex than those in the library. There are biographies, essays by mages, cheat sheets, apart from this, and many other common types of books.

It is not easy to find 'evidence' from so many books.

While Lilian was struggling to open the second book, Zhong Ye had already put down the nineteenth book.

Although he can't read books written in other languages, it is not a problem to read these books written in Western Lunar language.

After reading nineteen books, he suddenly found a problem.

——Among these books, the proportion of books related to supernatural power is too large!

It's the opposite of the study room. There are more ordinary books in the collection of books, while in the library, the proportion of books related to supernatural power is larger.

Normally, this ratio is wrong.

Even if the extraordinary power of Dan is prevalent in the world, people only need to exercise, and exercise in the right way, to enhance their physical fitness.

However, most of the books related to supernatural powers in this library are 'spell'.

From ancient times to the present, there have been not many professionals in the spell category, and there are naturally few books related to it - at least less than other types.

There are too many spells of extraordinary knowledge in the library. If the lord of Vienna is a mage, this is not a strange thing, but this lord is not a mage.

This is a bit strange, obviously not a mage, but I have read these books more than once, and the traces of reading two books of extraordinary knowledge are still recent.

Perhaps this reason is far-fetched, but these alone are enough to make Zhong Ye suspicious of the lord of Vienna.

'Mage' is just one of many identities in this world, and it's not something that needs to be concealed at all.

If a lord becomes a mage, it is something worth showing off, because the profession of mage has high requirements for intelligence, and becoming a mage also means that a person's intelligence level has surpassed the level of intelligence in the world. more than eighty percent of people.

Not everyone above this standard has the opportunity to become a mage, or wants to become a mage, so the number of mage is not very large.

Things are rare and precious, even a small apprentice mage, only the Great Chamber of Commerce has the ability to hire.

These thoughts flashed across his mind, Zhong Ye raised his hand again and took the book from the shelf.

Time passed slowly, and soon, it was time for Lillian to rest.

Stuffing the books in her hands back to the bookshelf, Lilian reluctantly looked around and took a breath. Just as she was about to say hello to the audience before the broadcast, Zhong Ye's voice went from From the side came: "Let's go."

The words that came to her mouth were swallowed again, Lilian looked towards Zhong Ye, and asked in surprise: "teacher, have you found what you were looking for? ?"

"No." Zhong Ye shook the head, "Just found some clues, I plan to visit the lord of Vienna tomorrow."

… Eh?

Not only was Lilian full of question marks, but there were also a lot of questions popping up on the barrage.

Didn't they come to investigate whether the lord of Vienne was related to that organization, and whether it was related to the hallucinogen epidemic in the southeastern region of the Kingdom of Gaul?

What is this operation?

Zhong Ye is always able to do some unexpected things, but the sleazy actions he makes always get the desired results.

I don't know what his brain is made of to be so smart!

“What I did in Annecy before was enough to get my name into the ears of the Lord of Vienne—if he really cared about those things.” Zhong Ye explained, “If not If something goes wrong, he will choose to meet me tomorrow, because I am visiting him, not doing other 'here' things, which shows that I have goodwill towards him."

"So he will let his guard down. ..." Lillian asked tentatively, "Can we just talk to him?"

"I suspect that he has something to do with the abyss."

Zhong Ye lowered his eyes, shook the head, "It's not related to the flood of hallucinogens, but directly related to the abyss."

Why are you suddenly related to the abyss again?

Just solved a problem, but more questions come to mind.

A series of question marks floated past, just to express Lilian's heart that wants to complain.

"Remember what I told you?"

Seeing Lilian's doubts, Zhong Ye pointed to books written in other words, "These words were born Hundreds of years ago, the period after the occupied area appeared, was to continue the inheritance and knowledge of the Western Land, and was the result of the 'confrontation' between the Western Land and the King of Wisdom."

Lilian's mouth was slightly open, Eyes slowly opened.

It can also be linked together... no, it is better to say that these things happen to be linked together - because there is a connection between them, they can be linked together.

It's just that the connection is so weak, so thin it's hard to detect, that it feels incredible when they're associated with one another.

Looking at Zhong Ye, Lilian blinked.

——This is what Zhong Ye will do!
