Chapter 479 Verifying Conjectures

Chapter 479 Verifying Conjectures
The gold-plated minaret of more than ten meters, covered with silver gauze under the moonlight, looks like a dream.

Zhu Jue looked at the face reflected on the surface of the steeple in front of him, raised his hand to touch the body of the tower, fully opened his senses, and searched for any secrets that might be hidden in it.

The result was still nothing.
The entire minaret is made of solid marble, except for the gold-plated surface, there is no imaginary hidden compartment or other special mechanisms inside.

"Mirror, mirror, tell me where the Codex Nacket is."

Covering his face and finished reciting a spell in his memory, Zhu Jue felt extremely ashamed, but at the same time, Zhu Jue secretly expected something to happen.

Waited a few minutes.

Except for the idea of ​​wanting to press Atar on the ground and beat him up in his mind.

There seems to be nothing else.

"I was wrong?"

Successive failures made Zhu Jue start to doubt whether his ideas were correct.

Is there a deviation in the direction of my thinking, or is the information given by Atal accidentally omitted by myself, or is the magic mirror actually stored somewhere in the big library, but no one knows it?

Frowning and turning around, Zhu Jue was about to go back and check the pool again.

He has never been a person who likes to give up halfway. Now that he is here, he has to put his ideas into action.

If you are wrong, you have to understand it!
Walked a few steps to the side, ready to summon the scavenger to leave here.

The sand line rose up and connected to the nearby corridors, but the last glance before leaving made Zhu Jue stop.

Before he stood before the gilded minaret looking at himself.

There is only myself in my eyes.

Now that he is far away, his own appearance is blurred, but another thing reflected above is revealed.

There is a gold-plated minaret in the entire large library, with the position of Zhujue Station as the front, and the wall behind it, but Zhujue's side is facing a three-story building with a style that tends to be Gothic.

Strictly speaking, it is the existence that the gilded spire has been reflecting!

With a snap of his fingers, Grefdo, who brought him here, trotted forward immediately.

"What is this building for?"

"It is a place for priests to pray and study classics. Every priest has his own room here. They are all on the second floor and the first floor is a prayer hall. It is usually a place for priests to exchange ideas. There are some special ones. We will also hold rallies here in the days to come.”

Answering the other party's question tremblingly, Grefdo's mind was full of the rock by the pool that was punched into pieces.

"A special day?"

Zhu Jue raised his eyebrows and continued,

"It means that you don't usually appear here, I understand correctly."

"Yes, only the priest and Shanna can come here."

"Oh?"

He waved to Shana and signaled her to come over,
"I think it should be nearly a month. Did anything strange happen in that building? Remember, it happened in the past month. If something similar happened before, don't mention it!"

So far, what Zhu Jue is looking for is no longer the location information of the so-called "Nakt Manuscript" that Atar said.

If the magic mirror is fake, then the location information must be asked through other media, and the clue is here.

Here comes the question, aside from the magic mirror, how does Atal know that there are clues here?
How can this old guy who has been in Uzza Temple for decades determine the situation in a city from a distance of hundreds of kilometers?
In Zhu Jue's view, there are only two possibilities.

Either when the other party was stealing the "Nakt Manuscript", he didn't hide completely like he said, but hid in a place where he could see the intruder and to some extent confirmed the thief That's why Zhu Jue came to investigate.

This reason sounds far-fetched, and the possibility is only general.

The one remaining possibility is simple.

Elder Atal can also do divination!

When Zhu Jue asked him about divination in the Uzza Temple, the latter said that he knew about the spell because of his friend. At that time, Zhu Jue only wanted to know what the spell was, so he didn't think too much about it.

Now because of the magic mirror, he began to recall the situation at that time, and after thinking about it carefully, he found that there were many loopholes in his words.

First of all, Zhu Jue said that his divination method was learned in a dream after reading a certain book, and Atal almost said without thinking that it was a book similar to the "Nakt Manuscript".

How did he know that he could learn spells in his dream after reading the book, and subconsciously said something similar to the "Nakt Manuscript"?

Secondly, he knows too much about the divination information, and he can even describe clearly some details that Zhu Jue didn't notice.

But he himself showed a repulsive look to this kind of knowledge.

If he really wanted to be so repulsive, why did he go out of his way to learn more about this kind of knowledge with his friend?
There is only one reason, he himself has learned this spell through the "Nakt Manuscript"!
After this conjecture appeared in Zhu Jue's mind, many problems that troubled him before were almost solved.

Why would Atar still give information about the magic mirror even though he may know that there is no glass in the Great Library of Solan City?

Because what he saw in the dream brought by divination was a similar image, and Zhu Jue, who had experienced the dream, knew that there was very little valuable information to be obtained in that situation, so Atal did not have more information. Under the circumstances, I can only tell Zhu Jue so.

"There is a magical mirror stored in the great library of Solan City. It can help you find anything you are looking for. I mean, it can help you determine the location of the "Nakt Manuscript."

This sentence sounded very normal at the time, no matter how you think about it now, Atar specially added the second half of the sentence because he was not sure after speaking the first half of the sentence!
Of course, all of the above is Zhu Jue's imagination that flashed in his mind. After all, there is no clear evidence, so he cannot be sure of its authenticity.

It is precisely because of this that he came here.

Practice is always the best way to test conjectures!
"Yes, since about two weeks ago, when Grefdo and I were chatting there at night, we would always hear some strange noises. Grefdo also knows about this. You can ask he."

Shanna tugged at her boyfriend's clothes, motioning for him to speak.

"Probably a few days ago, after we finished communicating with each other, I was about to go back to my residence, and I heard someone in a prayer room on the inner side of the second floor saying some strange words. I don't know the specific content. was found, so ran away."

"Which room can I go to?"

In the prayer room on the inner side of the second floor, Zhu Jue also heard it in the afternoon conversation. It seems that Grefdo and a friend of his met at that time.

So it seems that what Griffodor said should be the truth.

"Well, it should be the innermost rooms, I'm not sure."

At that time, it was too late for Gref to run too much, so he didn't have the time to pay attention to this. If he was caught, he would not only be expelled from the library, but might even go to jail.

"understood."

While speaking, he raised his hand and cut the back of the necks of the two, and then dragged them to the nearby garden tree, found a bush and put the unconscious man and woman inside.

Before leaving, he specially threw two gold coins on them as a reward.

With the help of the scavenger, he easily opened the window on the second floor and sneaked in. In order not to be discovered in advance, Zhu Jue chose to stay away from the room that made the special noise pointed out by Grefdo.

Moonlight falls between the corridors through the hollow carvings on the windows, illuminating the prayer room on the other wall and the corners of the corridor.

The perception is turned on all the way, and I slowly walk to the inner side of the second floor.

Only halfway through, there was already a reaction in the perception.

There is someone in the room ahead!

Zhu Jue, who realized this, immediately began to focus all his attention on that person, and confirmed the situation in the room where he was as much as possible through perception.

However, the more detailed the perception is.

The expression on Zhu Jue's face became even weirder.
