Chapter 129 The advantage of the Lanqi clan is reflected here
Lichtens Castle.
The hands of the cathedral clock had just passed nine-thirty.
On this morning, everyone had returned to the mansion from the edge of the cliff and came to the library on the second floor.
Despite all kinds of magical investigations, there are no particularly hidden secret compartments or organs in this castle that need to be deciphered, and the detectives have previously skipped all possible clues.
But there may be some useful historical background information in the master's room and the library-like collection of the mansion.
For example, this mysterious era that no one can figure out, the relationship between the blood race and humans, and the relevant records of the Horning Empire.
Even if it doesn't help the decryption of this shadow world.
It can be recorded, and the South China Film World Association can share it with many researchers and learn to analyze this important history.
Except for Lan Qi and Huberian who stayed together, the other challengers still maintained a group of three and kept a relatively safe distance from each other.
Lan Qi, who walked leisurely to the window, opened the red velvet curtains, and the natural light hit the wood grain of the dark brown bookshelf, which was far clearer than in the early morning.
A book of ancient books, the dim gold-plated font on the book cover also glowed with luster under the light.
With the penetration of sunlight, the air in the library becomes more fresh, mixed with ink and candles, as if you can hear the whispers of books, telling the stories they record that have been forgotten by history.
"Since everyone agrees to search for information before Mr. Detective returns, let's find out if there are any books about the blood race together."
Lan Qi stood by the window, bathed in the sunlight behind him, and said to everyone.
Although there is no such absolute host as a detective, but among the two most trustworthy people at present, [geographer] Master of the Chamber of Commerce is not very reliable, only [detective]'s partner [lawyer], Mr., looks calmer .
But it was this calm demeanor that made people instinctively feel that he was a bit dangerous.
He always had a vague and calm smile on his face. Compared to a castle full of murderous intentions, he felt more like he had really come to a mansion for vacation.
"I have a suggestion, burn all these books."
At this moment, a female voice sounded from behind, and everyone looked along the voice, only to see that it was a girl from the nobleman of the Crean Empire who had not expressed much opinion before speaking.
In this team of war priests, the female knight next to the noble girl just looked at her, but the little priest became more cowardly when he felt the eyes of everyone.
"Since the detectives found the answer by bypassing all the mechanisms, these original mechanisms are of little benefit to us. Destroying them together may even make the traitors lose more critical information."
The aristocratic girl of the Crevin Empire continued to add firmly.
Everyone fell into silence. After thinking about it carefully, what she said was indeed reasonable.
"But it's also possible that these books only contain useful information for the challenger, especially for another mission target. I think it's better for everyone to quickly sift through the books related to the blood race."
The priest headed by the Church of the Goddess of Destiny in the Northern Continent said hesitantly, and seemed to support Lan Qi's decision more.
After a while of silence in the library.
Now it is nothing more than a question of whether to gamble or not to gamble.
If you take a gamble and destroy the books, it is possible to also destroy the intelligence related to the mission goals of the traitors.
"Personally, I am very opposed to the act of burning books... However, everyone should vote."
Lan Qi spread his hands like a peacemaker, as if he could do anything, as long as everyone can solve the problem calmly.
Soon, the three priests of the Northern Continent all expressed their opposition to the burning of books, and they paid special attention to the information of the blood race in ancient times.
And Huberian naturally supported Lan Qi unconditionally, and like Lan Qi, he also had the opinion of keeping the book.
Only the three members of the Crescent Empire supported the burning of books.
The young master of the chamber of commerce looked at the two sides, and originally wanted to play something cool and burn the books, but after thinking about it, he still felt that Lan Qi and the clergy had relatively stable opinions, so he also chose to keep the books. The brothers and sisters of the guards didn't say anything, meaning it was closer to abstention, or what they voted would not affect the result.
In the end, the moderate faction was in the majority. After the vote, everyone had no complaints and started looking for books together. Almost in groups of five or six, they shuttled between the bookshelves without taking their eyes off each other.
From time to time, they looked down on the pages of the books, and then looked up to walk on the bookshelves. The sound of those pages turning, accompanied by occasional whispers, made time pass by quickly.
Lan Qi didn't say a word, and gently touched the spine of a book with his fingertips, as if he was having a silent dialogue with this knowledge.
Open a book and look at it page by page with focused and deep eyes.
Huberian secretly observed Lan Qi's expression.
She always felt that Lan Qi seemed to be more convinced of something after the previous vote, but she couldn't see what he was planning.
……
So all morning, everyone searched for books in the library.
Each suspected critical book was put through the hands of at least two different groups of challengers to ensure that no one could be fooled.
until near noon.
I don't know who opened a book first, which changed everyone's [Mission Objective 2: Explore the secrets and crises hidden in the castle] at the same time.
Added a note [a piece of core information collected, to be interpreted].
Everyone looked at each other, and found that the young master of the Chamber of Commerce was opening an ancient book with demon characters engraved on the cover, and he also looked at everyone with a bewildered face.
"It... records an ancient sealing technique. Gathering the power of the sun, moon and stars can produce a powerful and eternal sealing power. Similarly, to break this seal, you need to collect fresh blood from the two powers of the moon and stars as a guide. Only when you avoid the sun can you reverse the seal."
The young master of the Chamber of Commerce quickly turned the page, and read the key content to everyone with a confused expression.
"This is a magic book. I don't understand the specific content of the magic text. Does any of you know the sealing technique?"
The twin guards behind him were silent. Obviously, they were all assassins with only a few spells.
Not to mention the sealing technique, a type of magic that even professional mages are rarely good at.
People's eyes couldn't help but focus on the mage girl of the Krevan Empire and the priest of the Northern Continent.
Almost only these two people are the most hopeful to understand.
"I'm not good at sealing magic."
The priest shook his head in shame.
There are not many priests in today's era who are good at sealing techniques.
Moreover, in the Northern Continent, the sealing technique is even a notorious magic, all because of the outrageous massacres of civilians by Bishop Asksan.
"I understand a little bit, show me."
The mage girl headed by the Crane Empire team nodded, walked towards the young master of the Chamber of Commerce and took the book in his hand.
But she flipped through the book quickly until she reached the last page, and she just shook her head helplessly.
"In the compilation of this book, a lot of content is composed of demon magic text, or a magic text that has not yet fully evolved into human magic text."
The imperial mage girl said.
According to legend, the earliest human beings did not know how to use magic. It was not until the devil taught magic to human beings that human beings began to have the power of magic.
However, excessive use of demon magic will cause human beings to deform, go crazy, and become monsters. This theory has been confirmed until modern times.
After a long period of evolution, the ancient human magicians gradually improved and produced the earliest human magic script, which allows humans to use magic normally without paying a huge price.
And the magic text in this ancient book is still in a transitional stage between the demon magic text and the human magic text.
Not only humans can't read it, even demons can't necessarily understand it.
