The bishop is unfathomable.

Chapter 90 Recovery Completed, You Stupid Cavalrymen

"Cavalry? Where did these cavalry come from?"

While casting other spells to reinforce her seal and buy time, Felicia turned her head to look at the cavalry on the shore.

Li Wei turned around and stared at the military flag for a while before recognizing the cavalry unit.

"They are Grand Duke Valak's cavalry. Look at their banners, they are the same as the ones we saw in the ceremony."

"It really is—" Felicia glanced at it but was no longer surprised. Instead, she asked, "So, what's the next step?"

"Vera and I will go and negotiate. You—don't change back yet."

Li Wei looked up at the viscount, who was trapped by the rock pillar and bound by several thick vines, and asked, "Should we be alright now?"

"If he could break through this defense, we wouldn't have been able to dodge his attack just now."

After Felicia finished speaking, she pointed her index finger at Levi with some displeasure: "Trust me a little more in this kind of thing."

Li Wei silently turned around, retrieved the Shadow Wolf, transformed it into a cane, and held it in his hand.

Meanwhile, an officer from the cavalry unit on the lakeshore stepped forward, picked up a megaphone, and shouted towards the castle.

"Do the people on the island need help?"

Upon hearing the sounds coming from the opposite bank, the viscount's grandson and his guests, relieved, also shouted towards the other side of the lake.

But they overlooked one thing, and the cavalry overlooked one thing as well.

You can't make a sound travel hundreds of meters just by shouting.

"They're a bunch of idiot knights," Felicia remarked.

Li Wei had already sent a falcon to fetch Vera and fly to the other side of the lake to negotiate.

In fact, restoring the bridge or allowing traffic to pass through is not difficult.

After all, the world doesn't need a bunch of civil engineers to rebuild a bridge.

Whether it's bringing people directly to the shore or using magic to create a temporary passage, it's a very simple matter that can be resolved in a few minutes.

Five minutes later, with the help of several spellcasters in the cavalry, the soil at the bottom of the lake rose under the influence of psionic energy, forming a solid dirt road that was seven or eight meters wide.

Then, three armored knights, along with Vera who also returned on horseback, began evacuating the island's inhabitants.

The falcon flew back to Li Wei's side at that moment.

Although the butler had been crushed to death by the collapsing building in the recent collapse, and the viscount was trapped in Felicia's magic and waiting to die, fortunately, the maids were also involved in these matters.

A maid offered to show Li Wei the way and explained that the banned books and the donated books that were originally intended to be handed over to the library had actually been sorted out and placed in a separate room.

This surprised Li Wei somewhat.

It seems that this viscount has no part in his plans.

Perhaps he originally thought the administrator wouldn't meddle, would just take the books and leave, and wouldn't stay until midnight.

Could the donated books even be considered a form of "bribe" to the library?

After all, he only borrowed one book, but he wanted to donate a whole wall of books.

It just doesn't seem right no matter how I look at it.

Even if none of the ancient books on this wall contain extraordinary knowledge, the records and historical materials on them are still rare treasures.

Human history and civilization are recorded on these fragile pieces of paper.

Their value cannot be accurately quantified.

However, Li Wei understood why the viscount was so agitated.

A representative of a force that was not part of his plan at all, and which he even intended to curry favor with, single-handedly ruined his already less-than-stellar plan.

Even from a combat strength perspective, he couldn't beat them.

"No wonder they said I was meddling in other people's business."

Li Wei smiled, and then together with Felicia began to examine whether there were any problems with the items delivered by the Viscount, and whether they were genuine.

Looking at the large collection of books in front of him, Li Wei felt a bit of a headache.

Even if you used a horse-drawn cart, it would take two cartloads to transport it.

It seems a bit difficult to get it on my own.

Just as Li Wei was troubled, Vera's voice came from behind him.

"Mr. Levi, I—you are, Miss Black? What are you doing here?"

As soon as Vera entered, she saw Felicia standing next to Levi, helping with sorting and recording.

Unique cat ears, a flexible tail, and long, flowing black hair—

Isn't this the black lady I met during the ceremony?

Why is she here? And why is she with Mr. Li Wei?

Suddenly, Vera connected many things and things that seemed amiss.

Vera slammed her fist into Vera's palm: "I understand, you two really did know each other all along!"

"Wait, Miss Black, you wouldn't happen to be the black cat at Levi's house, would you?!"

Felicia:

What can I say? There's not much to say about the first point I've deduced.

After all, it's not hard to guess.

Well, the second point isn't hard to guess, but why is Vera's not-so-bright brain turning so fast at this moment?

Felicia looked at Levi for help, who chuckled in response, then turned to Vera and said, "You guessed right. What's up?"

"? You just let it go so easily?" Vera was somewhat surprised by Levi's answer.

Li Wei then put a finger to his lips: "I don't need to explain everything so clearly, do I?"

"We are just acquaintances from work, and we have had some interactions."

"But that doesn't mean I'm going to reveal too many secrets about myself to you."

"But I won't hide anything, since you've already seen it all."

"Can you promise me you won't tell anyone? Let's keep it a secret just between you and me."

Vera's expression was quite remarkable; a clear emotional shift occurred within the few short sentences Levi gave in response.

When Vera first heard Li Weina's polite but actually discouraging words that implied they weren't familiar with each other, a clear look of sadness and frustration appeared on her face.

But after hearing the second half of Li Wei's sentence, her previously low mood instantly improved, and even a faint blush appeared on both cheeks.

"Yes!" Vera nodded in agreement without hesitation.

However, she quickly shifted her gaze from Levi to Felicia.

But perhaps considering what Li Wei had said before, she swallowed back the question she originally wanted to ask.

Then, quite abruptly, the topic was changed: "Mr. Levi, you should have noticed as well that the cavalry that came this time is a Valak family unit."

"If you need help, I can have them move your books out of here first."

Upon hearing this, Li Wei bowed slightly to Vera and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Miss Vera. You've really done me a great favor."

"I'll treat you to dinner after work."
