Chapter 100 Visit

The sky over Belgorod is always shrouded in a thin layer of mist.

However, over the past week, the ever-thickening veil has become so thick that not a single ray of sunlight can penetrate into the city.

Even the lowest-level undocumented workers realized that something was wrong with the weather in the city.

But how many people can freely leave the city where they live?

Moreover, it was just a foggy day and some minor colds that didn't affect work. Apart from the poor visibility leading to a surge in carriage accidents, it didn't significantly impact the city's operation.

Li Wei simply didn't like this kind of weather.

Standing at the library entrance, Li Wei tucked the cat into the large, deep pocket of his trench coat while thinking about the nearest pharmacy.

He also needs to buy some flu medicine.

After all, if even Felicia could get infected with this strange flu, he would most likely be unable to escape it either.

While medication may not cure the disease, it can at least alleviate the symptoms.

After buying the medicine, I went back and continued carving the model, while also thinking about where I could let him test the new spells.

Judging from the spell description at least, this is a large-area crowd control skill that consumes a lot of mana, and it even has a special dispel effect on certain special groups such as the dead and vengeful spirits attached to objects or people.

"Hi, where do you want to go?"

A strange voice, but one that sounded pleasant and relaxed, rang out behind Li Wei.

Li Wei subconsciously turned around, but didn't see anyone behind him.

The moment Li Wei turned his head, a hand patted his shoulder.

"Smack."

"Hey, I'm here."

Li Wei turned around sharply again and saw a girl with long purple hair wearing an indigo military uniform, a wide-brimmed military cap, and white gloves.

"Oh, my dear subordinate, you've actually chosen to maintain the same facade for so long this time?"

Looking at the somewhat unrestrained and even overly familiar girl in military uniform in front of him, Li Wei roughly guessed her identity.

only----

The image was quite different from what Li Wei had predicted.

It can only be said that it does bear an 80-90% resemblance to the photos published in the church newspaper.

But it seems a bit too lively.

However, due to the occasion, Li Wei did not answer the other party's question, and the man in front of him, who appeared to be Bishop Cardoza, did not seem to be surprised by Li Wei's silence.

"Sigh, still as quiet as ever."

"But you haven't seen me for about three to five years, right? At least show some joy and surprise on your face, okay?"

Li Wei still didn't answer, but judging from the way the cat in his pocket was shaking, it was probably the real deal.

Moreover—it seems to be radiating hostility towards him.

Just then, the library door creaked open.

Barris emerged from the library, still dressed in a well-fitting suit.

He walked up to Levi as if he hadn't seen Cardosa: "It's a good thing you didn't go far, Mr. Levi. Otherwise, I would have had to call you again."

"There will be a banquet tomorrow night in the banquet hall on the second floor of the city hall, and I need you to attend with me. Of course, you can bring some friends if you wish."

"This is an invitation. Please keep it safe. Arrive at the City Hall entrance before 7 PM tomorrow night. Someone will be there to greet you."

After saying that, Barris handed an invitation with gold-edged patterns to Li Wei, then opened the library door and went back inside.

Afterwards, Li Wei suddenly realized that the girl in military uniform who should have been beside him had suddenly disappeared.

No—should I say, did this guy ever actually appear beside me?

Livis poked Felicia with his hand in his pocket, then asked softly, "What just happened?"

"You seem to be under an illusion, Your Excellency," Felicia said with a hint of schadenfreude. "Looks like your boss has come looking for you."

"However, compared to that bishop, I find the curator's attitude increasingly suspicious."

Felicia had naturally heard Levi mention the Soul Poems and the leak of books from the forbidden area.

There is no doubt that some channel led to the leak of information within the restricted book area.

That group might not be able to steal the books from the restricted section, but they would likely know exactly what books were in it.

This matter is serious in some ways, but not so serious in others.

Li Wei was alerted by this matter only because the information came from the Son of Sand.

Li Wei shook his head after hearing Felicia's words: "The curator has been suspicious for quite some time. But it's clear that, at least personally, he doesn't harbor much ill will towards me."

"While his stance may be casual, it is not without principles."

"Just like before."

"In short, instead of doubting the curator, we should think about what to do next."

"What? What should we do?" Felicia asked.

"A message from His Excellency the Bishop."

Inside a coffee shop in the city center square, a purple-haired girl in military uniform looked with great interest at the exquisite pastries in front of her, along with a cup of black tea that was served with them.

The steam rising from the black tea swirled around it, drawing in those peculiar eyes that resembled violets.

Both her clothing and appearance are unique, and she would undoubtedly be the center of attention wherever she is placed.

but----

At that moment, it seemed as if no one in the coffee shop could see her.

All eyes passed over her, as if even the spot itself had been forgotten and ignored.

Surprisingly, her order and the delivery of her food were not affected.

Faced with exquisite and delicious pastries and fine, expensive black tea, she showed no interest in enjoying them, only glancing out the window from time to time, her eyes filled with inexplicable thoughts.

He seemed to be pondering some problem, or perhaps wondering if a certain guest would arrive on time.

jingle.

The coffee shop door was pushed open, and the wind chimes rang, reminding the staff of the arrival of a new customer.

The girl subconsciously turned around and happened to see a handsome young man wearing a light khaki overcoat and carrying a black cane decorated with a silver eagle head walking towards her.

Then, under her gaze, he sat down in the empty seat in front of her.

"Oh, you still managed to find me. And it happened much faster than I expected."

"It's been a long time, my good subordinate."

"Now that you're here, let's discuss how to ruin the Son of Sand's plans, shall we?"

"after all----

"You really want to hear me answer like that, don't you, imposter?"

As she spoke, the girl in military uniform folded her hands together, rested her elbows on the table, and then tilted her head slightly, looking at the young man who had come to the appointment with her with amusement.
