Returning from the abyss

Chapter 496 The Library of Darkness and Light

As a professional thief, White Rose is very confident in entering any place that claims to be well-defended, but she will definitely not avoid some destructive measures.She didn't want Orris to see this matter at all. Even if the situation was urgent, the thief and the soldier would definitely not be able to reach any consensus.

After a total of eight grapples were released, White Rose found an entry point.She conjured the same adsorption organs on her fingers, and nimbly climbed up the wall, while Lu Ning watched from below—even though she had improved a lot in strength, she still had to do this kind of stunt-like action. Not coming.

At a position of about 30 meters, Bai Meigui stopped, and Lu Ning couldn't see what she was doing at this time. She could only see her fiddling on the wall for a long time, and finally got inside without knowing what happened. A moment later, a rope dangled from above.

Lu Ning climbed up to the height of the ten-story building and found that it was a small tower, and Shang Wenxue made a hole in the wall next to the window of the tower, which was just enough for one person to get in.

"Is there such a loophole here?"

"Magic cannot be absolutely average. Where there is strength, there is weakness. But...here." White Rose pointed to the door of the tower, which is also the only entrance. There are two Titans standing outside, and it is now closed. State, that's why they didn't respond to the entry of the two.

"The Magic Council knew this, so they arranged some other measures. It's a pity that all the defense measures inside have probably stopped working because of the ghost inside." Bai Meigui smiled, "Otherwise, I would have to face it as soon as I opened the hole." Two Titan cannons."

"What is this place?" Lu Ning looked around.

"I don't know, I don't understand the Violet Library as a whole." Bai Meigui shook her head, "It's better to take a step and see, since the security measures here are closed, we can basically encounter enemies here... Don't expect any reinforcements."

Lu Ning nodded.

There is no light in the library except for the outer corridors, and even there are many exhibits in the corridors, which are still in good condition.Heinz, or someone else who was behind the scenes, probably didn't want to see these things destroyed.But soon, Lu Ning and Bai Meigui smelled blood and found the bodies of several guards.

"Eliminate dissidents." Bai Meigui took a glance and understood.

"It was a sudden attack. It was a close-range attack. It was probably done by someone on patrol." Lu Ning said after checking the status of the two corpses.

"It seems that Heinz has persuaded many people to work for him. I don't know how tempting the conditions he offered."

"As long as he can win, he can offer any conditions." Lu Ning looked around vigilantly, "Do you think anyone here will ambush?"

"I'm more curious about how so many magician emperors were subdued. Since Heinz is not here, someone here must do this?" White Rose took out a delicate square plate and sprinkled some silver on it. Powder, those powders quickly formed a somewhat strange pattern on it.

"what is this?"

"Magic detectors require more knowledge and experience to use than those that can be mass-produced now, but they are not as easy to be targeted by various anti-reconnaissance magic." White Rose looked at the pattern formed by the silver powder, "compared There are four gathering places of strong magic, do you think there are dangerous enemies, or gathered rebels?"

"how could I know……"

Lu Ning muttered, and carefully looked at the surrounding environment.It was very dark in the library, and it was not much different from the black light time I encountered before.She's good at launching ambushes in the shadows, so knowing that it would be a bad idea to be attacked in this situation.

"Rain of Light."

She cast a mid-level divine spell, and beams of light shot out from her palm and stuck to the wall, instantly illuminating the path in front of her.

"It looks good, but are you sure it won't scare the snake?" White Rose laughed.

"It would be great if they dared to come over."

With the knowledge given by the magic guide book, Lu Ning can already use a combination of various magics to fight, just like the training she has experienced before.Although the several magic guide books in her hand are all fragments, they will not weaken the power of magic itself.The only thing that needs to be paid attention to is that Lu Ning should save his magic power as much as possible.

After the two passed through a corridor, they entered a place where no light from outside came in at all.Many precious stones are inlaid on the roof, emitting a dull light, making this room look like an underground cave.The high-level area is not like there are many road signs below. Lu Ning and Bai Meigui searched around but did not find any words indicating the function of this place.And the doors of the rooms around this gem "cave" are all things that seem to be scribbled randomly, without any practical significance.

Lu Ning reached out and pushed one of the doors: "It's locked."

"Of course it will be locked...huh?"

"The time when Heinz started the civil turmoil was around dawn. Regardless of the work and rest conditions of the magicians at this time, they will definitely be in their own rooms or laboratories. We have been talking here for so long. If there are people in the room, they should The door is open, which means that no one is here."

"However, the upper area of ​​the library is basically equivalent to the private area of ​​the members of the council. Except for the personal area, it will not be locked."

"This is the private room of a member of the council, so the other rooms around here are probably the same. It's just that we haven't been sure which type it is yet."

The two looked at each other and pushed all the surrounding doors, all of which were locked.

"Very well, unless everyone in the Magic Council is a night owl, they must have been prepared for this." White Rose was obviously in a better mood.

"Well, it seems that someone anticipated this civil strife and called everyone in advance, otherwise it would be strange that everyone didn't stay in this gathering private room area." Lu Ning continued to walk inside, "It's just that since someone I noticed it, why didn’t I launch a counterattack? If Heinz had gained an overwhelming advantage, he would even be able to undergo a peaceful evolution through the parliament, and he wouldn’t need to do what he is doing today.”

At this moment, there was no force on her hand that was pushing towards a door, and with a creak, the door was opened.

"Oh, it looks like it's over here?" Bai Meigui walked over quickly and looked inside.

"It's a laboratory."

This laboratory is quite advanced, it is a comprehensive magic laboratory, and its area is not small.Lu Ning roughly estimated the area, and the length of the corridor here is about 20 meters, which belongs to the scope of the laboratory.

Of course no one was here at this time.

"But the door of the laboratory should be locked, shouldn't it?" Bai Meigui walked in, checked it carefully, and made sure that there was no mechanism inside.

"That's not necessarily true." After Lu Ning walked in, she looked up at a bookshelf by the wall. The top floor displayed different things that looked like antiques, while the bottom floor was full of experimental records and reports.Judging from some signatures, this is not a private laboratory, and many magicians have conducted experiments here.

"I saw the name of Mr. Parcival. This laboratory should be a kind of general-purpose laboratory. Maybe many people will use it, and it will not be locked at ordinary times." Lu Ning turned around a few experimental benches, and there was no active laboratory on it. The experiment in progress, and the previous cleaning was also very clean, leaving no traces.

"Perhaps the houses from here on are all closed...huh?"

When Lu Ning walked to the last row of experimental benches, she suddenly saw that a closed container here was closed, which was different from the open ones in front.She squatted down, opened the cabinet below, shone a light on it, and quickly took out two rolls of perfectly transcribed parchment.

"Is this a rubbing of the magic book?"

When Bai Meigui heard the sound, she could recognize the strong magic fluctuations above, but it was hard to say if it was a rubbing.But when she found the container, she began to try to open it.

"This kind of thing has its own password..."

Before Lu Ning finished speaking, Bai Meigui fiddled with the volume.

"Sorry, we usually rob graves of various ruins, and the safety measures of this experimental device have not yet reached that level." She smiled triumphantly.

Inside the container is a "fruit plate", the entire base is a three-layer crystal plate, each layer has a circle of carefully carved fruits, a total of fifteen kinds.When Lu Ning saw this thing, she had no doubts anymore. This test bench must be the place where the magic book is being transcribed.

"But it looks like it's not just a copy." Lu Ning continued to take out the things from the cabinet below, "Judging from the title of the report here, it seems that after the collection of the magic guide book, it will go through a series of processing before it can be officially collected. Into the library."

"It's not surprising. After all, the Magic Council has been doing this for so long, and there must be many security measures."

Lu Ning was already familiar with reading the documents, and she quickly sorted them out according to the time marks, and found out the specific handling of the magic guide book.

"After a magic book is in hand, it has to be read by three magicians above the grand magister, and then the first rating judgment is made. If there is any objection, three other people will review it. The next step is the file record, which is also It has already been done. What is going on now is the third step, copying."

"It's just a rubbing, right?"

"Hmm..." Lu Ning quickly flipped through the reports. These system processes are all recorded, but because they haven't been completed yet, there is no final report.

"The transcription part was not completed by one person. The total number of transcriptions needed is... fifteen? I remember knowing that it was ten. The name of the last transcriptionist was Gabriel. This should be the Council The craftsman among the official members is the name of the emperor."

Lu Ning flipped through the report again.

"Wait a minute, there is another problem in the front of the magic guide book... If the rater is harmed during the first rating, the magic guide book must be temporarily sealed and let the emperor re-grade it."

"I found something here." At this time, Bai Meigui was already flipping through the row of old bookshelves at the back. Although she was not as fast as Lu Ning, she was still much faster than ordinary people.

"What?" Lu Ning looked back, and found that it was a file, which listed the names of the magic books that had been sealed in this laboratory so far.

Just when Lu Ning was about to walk over to take a look, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, very slight, but it was easy for the two of them to spot.

The two held their breaths at the same time, and got into the back of the experiment table together. Lu Ning also removed the light emitted in the room, and immediately made the place dark again.

"The door of this room is not locked."

Outsiders also discovered this laboratory, the door slammed again, and the visitor walked into the room.

"There was light in the corridor, but there was no light in the house."

"Garcia, do you think they'll miss this room?"

"I do not think so."

Lu Ning and Bai Meigui suddenly heard the screams of ghosts, and Lu Ning hurriedly stood up and cast a lighting spell: "Wait! It's me!"

"Lilian?" Garcia's ready-to-go bone spear dissipated. She raised her eyebrows and showed a cheerful smile, while Juno shrugged beside her.

"What happened? Why did you come here?" Lu Ning asked, "I thought you would help Pengshan Yuanzi guard the Fengshentai."

"Unless the other party can spare an emperor to deal with her, otherwise it will be free." Garcia smiled, "Pengshan has given us the news, and now there are three groups of people besides us. When you get to the library, don’t worry, they are all reliable companions. But please pay attention, Pengshan has dealt with a guy who attacked her before, and finally got information that there seems to be a person named Oris who is the enemy.”

Lu Ning and Bai Meigui's expressions changed slightly in an instant.

"Oris?"

"Garcia, it looks like they've already encountered them." Juno shook his head, "Yes, Orris should be the enemy, and it was very early. My investigation scope can't reach the patrolling guards, and it's hard to detect This matter. However, several of our enemies have already revealed their identities...Elier, Oris, and Yuanzi killed one before, so there are not many of them...Oh, Hiroshi Hyakki. "

"But we just separated from him and now he's with someone else!"

"It's hard to be sure whether Oris will be the killer. What he's done so far should be to pass some false information to mislead, but...it's already this time, right? Whether he's a tourist or a local, he should be There won't be many bottom lines left." Garcia sighed, "But we are not familiar with this place, and we don't know where they are."

"Is necromancer magic not working?" White Rose asked suddenly.

"Reconnaissance necromancers all need to be driven by souls, but the Violet Library itself has advanced purification measures. It can't summon a few souls here, and at most it can cause a little supernatural phenomenon."

"Then we have only one choice, to speed up." Lu Ning was ruthless, "Don't worry about Oris's problems, we are here to solve the current situation in the library, it is best to find out the key quickly. "

White Rose handed over the book.

"I'm here to search for traces. Garcia is good at rummaging for help. Since the people here are retreating in an orderly manner, what they need is a suitable opportunity to counterattack." Juno immediately assigned work.
