This Academy Castle does not look big, at least much smaller than Lily's residence on Earth, but the passages inside are also very complicated. In order to conduct a quick search, Lily and others decided to split up, and Aurelia led
Following Lily, Ye Ji, Nieku and Jacks, they came to the library of the castle according to the map.
The library can be regarded as the largest room in the castle. Most of the bookshelves are empty, and a few lonely books are scattered on the bookshelves and on the floor. It can be seen that the people in the society are in a hurry when they leave.
"What was this place used to do..." Jacks picked up a book at random and brushed off the dust on the book. The gilded title on the cover made Jacks wonder - "Edible Monsters Illustrated Book".
Nieku shook his head and said helplessly: "I have never been to this place, and it doesn't seem to be one of the famous societies I know. Judging from the size of the castle, this society must be a small organization... Tsk, "
"Principles and Expansions of Monster Utilization"? What on earth are these guys studying?"
In Ghasain, most of the wild animals have no special abilities. Only creatures with special powers are called monsters. There are not many of them, and most of them live far away from intelligent life.
, can be said to be very rare. And this society seems to be studying how to use this rare and powerful life, such as... for cooking?
Lily's biggest regret when she came to Gasaiin was that she didn't see many magical creatures, not even a slime! Although I heard from Fan that slimes are actually quite common in the wild, Lily never saw one.
Encountered it before! The thick book Lily held in her hand recorded in detail the characteristics and living areas of known monsters, as well as hand-drawn illustrations! Lily calmly put the book into the space ring, and then
Turning back to look at Aurelia: "Oni, there seems to be no undead around here. Shall we go to the next place?"
"Hey? Isn't this nice? Let's rest here for a while!" Jacks' enthusiasm for adventure at sea is far greater than adventure on land, so he is somewhat unmotivated and is not willing to do those thankless things.
.
Jakes leaned against the wall, preparing to take a rest, but his hand touched something unknown. There was a burst of mechanical sound, and the wall behind Jakes actually flipped over, pushing him into the secret amidst Jakes's exclamation.
In the middle of the road...
"Hey? Where's Jax?" Hearing Jax's cry, she turned around and found that Jax was missing. Lily couldn't help but look around curiously. Having lived in the castle for a long time, she naturally knew that there would be some hidden things in the castle.
Mechanism, "Did you accidentally trigger some mechanism and turn it off into a secret passage?"
Aurelia nodded: "I did hear something just now...yes!"
Due to a thick layer of dust here, Jacks' footprints were invisible to Aurelia's sharp eyes. The footprints disappeared before reaching a wall. If you look closely, you will find that there is a candlestick next to the wall.
The dust had obviously been wiped away.
After pulling the candlestick, the wall flipped over again. Aurelia and the other three quickly entered the secret passage and soon saw Jax who had fallen to the ground and was still a little dizzy.
"Ahem, cough, what a bad luck!" Jacks complained and stood up from the ground, "But where does this secret passage lead to? Could it be hiding something shameful? For example, a magical beast or something...
…”
"I don't know, but we'll find out if we continue to explore inside." Lily pulled out her rapier and walked at the front with excitement on her face. She liked secret passages and chambers like this the most. She often used the castle's secret rooms when she was a child.
Playing hide-and-seek with the servants in the secret passage...although he always gets caught in the end.
Jacks muttered a few words, took out the long-barreled musket from his back, loaded the ammunition, and followed Lily - the sea is better, so vast and mysterious, and the air on the sea is much better than here!
This secret passage is unexpectedly short, and it seems to be just a place where important documents are stored. The information that the Rhine Society is looking for should be here... But there are obviously no enemies here, so why can't the Society successfully retrieve the information?
"Let's take these materials out." Nieku suggested, looking at some old parchments on the surrounding bookshelves and in the alley, "It looks like it should be something more important, right?"
"Hey! I won't use the space pocket for such useless things!" Jacks quickly covered the pocket with a look of reluctance, "My space pocket doesn't have a large capacity, and it contains a lot of important things.
s things……"
"Tch, cheapskate." Nieku gave Jax a disdainful look and began to prepare to install these materials. However, Aurelia quickly stopped her: "Let's go out first, these materials are not useful to us.
What's the use? We can inform the two Erebus first, and then let them receive it soon... Huh? Lily! What are you doing?"
Aurelia raised her head and saw Lily standing in front of a mirror as tall as one person in the secret room of the library. She seemed to have the urge to walk inside. Lily turned her head innocently, pointed at the mirror and said, "This mirror is a bit weird. I'll go in and take a look."
Just watching..."
"Weird?" Aurelia walked to the mirror and looked at it doubtfully for a long time, but found nothing weird: "What's weird?"
Lily shrugged, pointed to the mirror and said, "Can you see the little girl holding the doll inside? The one in the black skirt..."
Aurelia frowned and looked at the mirror carefully. There was nothing abnormal in the mirror. It honestly reflected the scene in the secret room. Jax and Nieku also came over. Jax said jokingly: "It can't be so.
Ghost, right? Anyway, this thing should be considered a relatively common thing in Dix, so don’t worry about it, just leave her alone."
"But..." Lily bit her lip hesitantly, "She is waving to me..."
"Then you can't go!" Nieku rolled his eyes at Lily and said angrily, "Even if you are an undead, nothing good will happen if you are haunted by a ghost, right? It does seem a bit spooky here,
Let’s go out and find the others quickly, shall we?”
"Lily!" Seeing that something was wrong with Lily, Aurelia grabbed Lily's shoulders and looked directly into her eyes, "What on earth did you see?"
Lily bit her lower lip, hesitated for a long time, and said hesitantly: "She... is holding a scarf, it seems to be... Alison's!"
"What?!" Everyone was shocked, and Aurelia immediately pulled Lily away from the mirror.
"I asked you why there are no enemies here. It seems like this is a trap set by the Book of the Dead!" Aurelia sneered and shot an arrow at the mirror. After the mirror was hit by the red magic arrow, it instantly turned into a
A pool of molten glass, "Let's go out and join the others first."
Lily turned around and forgot where the mirror was. She suddenly broke free from Aurelia's hand, turned the ring to summon an ice wall, and plunged into it.
