Is it ashes disguised as a masquerade? Are those bad guys trying to steal information again?"
"It's broken. Miss Ashes has been promoted to the fourth level. What should I do?"
"broken?"
There was a little smile in Rendell's lazy words.
The little book spirit who had just finished speaking fell to the ground and hit his head.
It said with tears:
"I mean, are you leaving?"
In response to the question posed by this childish voice, she smiled freely:
"of course not.
I'm free. I'll come here again if I have the chance.
If you can be better behaved when I come next time, my sister will bring you sweets."
This kind of attitude.
It was like the feeling she had when she said goodbye to Mr. Rhine.
at this very moment,
An old but still powerful voice slowly sounded, but even if it was meant to reprimand, there was a little more endearment in the voice:
"Okay, stop bullying the little guys.
You still haven't grown up.
Little Rendell.”
Hearing what she said, the girl in purple clothes with slightly mature eyebrows but still able to see the girl's character smiled and said:
"Mother-in-law,
I didn't bully them, but it's not right for you to pamper them like this.
At least Famil can't leave it to you to teach.
Otherwise.
My teacher and her mother will probably think that you have spoiled her."
"Her mother was also taught by me, so what's the problem?"
The mother-in-law said slowly,
But when she talked about the person who had passed away, she couldn't help but sigh.
Immediately afterwards, a wooden door at the door of the ancient escalator on the second floor of the Great Library slowly opened:
"Come in and talk.
Tell your mother-in-law what you have experienced along the way?"
Rendell just walked into the reading room.
The floor of the reading room is covered with dark wooden floors, which are warm and textured.
There are several rectangular wooden tables placed in the center of the room, and a beautiful lamp is placed on each table.
The light of the desk lamp is soft and bright. Under the light, the text on the page of the book appears particularly clear.
The window is half open.
Occasionally, a breeze blows by, bringing with it the sound of pages turning gently, filling the air like the whisper of stars.
The mother-in-law who had just spoken to her was sitting quietly in the corner by the window.
The old woman's silver hair glowed softly under the light, and her slightly curly hair swayed gently by her ears.
She was wearing a simple yet solemn light blue robe, with a few elegant flowers embroidered on the skirt. Her face was kind and peaceful, and the traces of time had left deep marks on her face, but her bright eyes
His eyes still sparkle with wisdom and warmth.
Rendell, the decisive sentry captain, sat next to her with a rare childishness:
"Don't you want to ask me why I am in the fourth level?"
"Those old guys care about rank, but I don't care.
You probably don’t know,
After that old guy who only knows useless things like astrology pointed out to you that there might be a way to advance to the fourth level in the Kingdom of Eternal Night,
I came to his door the next day and beat him up.
Although your mother-in-law and I don’t understand divination, when it comes to beating people up, not many old guys can win.”
There was a hint of pride in my mother-in-law's words.
Seeing her proud look, Rendell couldn't help but laugh softly. She looked out the window at the scenery:
Through the window, you could see the waves gently lapping against the rocks outside, and even the starry night sky and the sparkling sea. Then she said slowly:
"This time,
I truly witnessed a civilization on the verge of collapse.
I understood the meaning of the Great Library carrying the last hope of civilization.
I also saw many sentinels who were of a different order from me. Their courage was willing to sacrifice their own lives to save one person or even tens of millions of people.
even,
I also saw gainers who betrayed civilization, thieves who betrayed their people, corrupt people who believed in evil gods, and greedy people who tried to control everything.
Among them are many people who also came from the big library.
Mother-in-law.
Even a big library,
There are also many people walking on different paths, right?”
Lendl is a fourth-level Immaculate Concubine who is less than thirty years old, and may be a more talented person than Su Wen.
Her talent has even surpassed that of many seniors in big libraries.
But as the little Shuling knows:
Since the death of her teacher, 'Miss Ashes' has probably become a mission machine that only knows how to kill for a long time.
If not for traveling with Su Wen, if not for seeing Famil and her sister again.
She probably will not actually embark on this path pointed out to her by the sage.
The mother-in-law closed the book gently, put her white hand on her old palm, and then asked kindly:
"Little Lendl, you have changed a lot.
Do you know anyone?"
"A certain gentleman, Dr. Crossan, and many, many more."
She touched the traces of the covenant she made with Su Wen.
But after the incident was over, the mark only faded but did not disappear.
Its name is【dawn】
in other words.
If this mother-in-law is not someone she can completely trust, the keeper's oath will prevent her from saying anything.
At this moment, when she thought of Su Wen's name, there was a look of reminiscence in her cold eyebrows:
