The library of the Alchemy Association was indeed not open in the afternoon, that is, these alchemists, especially Hatton's predecessors, had too much power, and if they didn't want to come, they wouldn't come, and Lu Tao didn't even have a place to complain.

After returning to the hotel, Mickey and Princess Sophie still did not come back, Lu Tao was a little puzzled, but he didn't pay special attention to it, the thing he paid attention to was Charlotte he met today, and another person he had met before.

The person Lu Tao had only met was Proyas's brother, that is, the prince of the Harrias royal family, although Lu Tao could also think that he went to that weapon shop to choose the right weapon, but if a coincidence happened together, the biggest possibility was that it was not a coincidence, but deliberate.

In other words, Charlotte went to the weapons shop not to pick or sell the weapons in her possession, but to meet Proyas's brother, another prince of Harias.

From the previous time he met Proyas's brother, Lu Tao could see that the relationship between Proyas and his brother was not very good, whether it was a power struggle or a mutual contempt between brothers, which meant that Charlotte went to see Proyas's brother, it was not an ordinary thing, especially choosing the location in a deep alley weapon shop, this suspicion became even greater, Lu Tao didn't know what they said between them, but it must not be something that could be put on the table.

Shaking his head, Lu Tao didn't want to get involved in such a troublesome palace struggle, if he had the opportunity to see Proas next time, remind him a little, in fact, Lu Tao was only interested in the secrets that might exist behind these conspiracies, that is, the strongest gossip hidden deep in the hearts of every human being.

In the next two days, Lu Tao was still spending boring time in the library of the Alchemy Association during the day, and returned to the hotel where he lived to rest at night, while Mickey and Princess Sophie still went out early and returned late, and even didn't come back at night.

Hatton's predecessor still didn't pay much attention to Lu Tao, and Lu Tao found out that Hatton's predecessor seemed to be a cautious eye, and he had held a grudge for so long for such a thing, and it was no wonder that when he was a librarian, there was no second person to borrow books from the Alchemy Association's library.

However, this did not affect Lu Tao to pass the time in the library, and the more he looked at it, the faster he looked, and he soon finished reading half of the books in the library, and it was not as slow as when he sorted out his notes and diaries before, mainly because in addition to the bookshelf with notes and diaries in that row, the other parts are research results and experimental records, and some of the research results are the knowledge of Lu Tao's elementary and junior high school days, so naturally there is no need to spend extra time on them, only when they encounter those more magical things, can they attract Lu Tao's attention, so as to copy them all, or make a mark。

It's a pity that he originally thought that if he met Proyas, he could tell him about Charlotte, but Lu Tao hadn't seen Proyas's face for the past two days, and wanted to enter the palace to have a look, but found that the palace was not just anyone could enter, and the result was that Lu Tao could only be stopped outside the palace, even if he had recognized the guards of the palace, it was simply the person he saw when he followed Proyas into the palace last time

The same. Lu Tao also went back and asked the owner of the hotel where he was staying if there was a way to contact Proas? Therefore, in the end, Lu Tao could only give up, since there was no way to tell Proas about this matter, it could only be counted on God, probably because God didn't want Proas to know about it.

It wasn't until the morning of the fourth day, when Lu Tao continued to go to the library of the Alchemy Association, that he felt a trace of incongruity.

The exterior of the Alchemy Society's building was still glittering with gold, reflecting the harsh sunlight of the early morning, and I didn't know if I wanted to wake up the alchemists who came to the Alchemy Society in the morning. Lu Tao stepped into the hall along the door of the Alchemy Association, but found that there were not so many people in the hall as usual, Anna stood behind the counter with a smile, and when she saw that it was Lu Tao who entered the door, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then quietly shook her head at Lu Tao.

Lu Tao was also stunned for a moment when he saw Anna's movements, then turned around and walked out, no matter what happened, since Anna gave herself a look, it was better to avoid the edge first.

"Huh, why do I feel that you are a little familiar, which nobleman is it, and what are you doing when you come to the Alchemy Society?"

A voice blocked Lu Tao's steps at the door, and it was Proas's bra that pushed the door in from the outside, the prince whose name Lu Tao didn't know, and he was followed by two soldiers with blades hanging around their waists, and the two soldiers looked at Lu Tao vigilantly, holding their hands on the hilt of the sword at their waists, as if they were about to draw their swords against each other if they didn't agree.

Lu Tao: "...... I've come to the Alchemy Society to find someone, Your Highness the Prince. ”

"Oh......" Proyas's brother didn't care about Lu Tao's words, but directly crossed Lu Tao's shoulder and looked at Anna behind him: "Didn't all the alchemists of the Alchemy Association go to the palace? Who is he? Could it be that there is anything missing?"

"I didn't ...... No more......," Anna said nervously to Proyas' brother, "He's really here to find someone...... It's just that I told him that no one in the Alchemy Society ...... today."

"Your Highness, all the books that can be loaded and transported are loaded onto the truck, and we can leave...... Why are you here?!"

Hearing a somewhat familiar old voice, Lu Tao secretly screamed that it was not good, and when he looked up, it was really Hargrove who had dealt with him before, he was looking at Lu Tao with gray hair and glaring at him. By the way, Lu Tao also learned about Proas's brother, another prince of Harias, who was originally called Karin.

Prince Carlin glanced at Hargrove and asked, "Do you know him? He is also an alchemist of the Alchemy Society, why is he not on the list of the Alchemy Society?"

"Hah! what kind of alchemist is he!" Hackrov glanced at Lu Tao, then tilted his head to the side.

Both Lu Tao and Anna breathed a sigh of relief, and Lu Tao probably understood the basic situation, it seems that Prince Carlin, the brother of Proyas, drove the alchemists of the Alchemy Association to the palace, not only that, but also transported all the books in the library together, Hargrove, who was originally fooling around in the Alchemy Association, happened to be a traitor, and Lu Tao was not on the list of the Alchemy Association because he didn't know his name, so he was not rushed to the palace as an alchemist, as for why Hargrove said this now, Lu Tao didn't think that he was kind enough to cover for himself, probably he really didn't think Lu

Tao is an alchemist.

"Forget it, let's go, Anna, you can go back and rest from tomorrow, and it won't be reopened for a short time without the association. Prince Carlin turned around and left, and finally did not forget to remind Anna, sure enough, this is also a world of faces.

"Wait for Your Highness the Prince!" Hargrove rolled his eyes, and suddenly had an idea in his heart.

"What do you remember?" Prince Carlin looked back, looking at Hargrove with some confusion and impatience, "I don't have that much time to fool around here with you, if you have anything to say, hurry up!"

Hargrove wiped the non-existent sweat on his head, pointed at Lu Tao and said to Prince Carlin: "Actually, although this kid is not an alchemist, he is also very interested in alchemy, and it should be of some use, so it is better to bring him back too!"

Lu Tao: "......"

I have long known that this old guy Hargrove has bad intentions, and Lu Tao is not too surprised that he would say this, his doubts are mainly about why the relationship between the royal family and the Alchemy Association has suddenly changed so drastically, and there is, where did Proyas go, according to the results observed before, Proyas should be the person responsible for communicating with the Alchemy Association, right, will it have anything to do with the previous Charlotte?

"Okay, then take it. Prince Carlin waved his hand noncommittally: "There is nothing else to do, we will go back if there is nothing to do, I don't have time to delay here." ”

......

It is not difficult for Lu Tao to escape directly from control, and it can even be said that it is as easy as a finger, after all, there is definitely no one who can catch up with him here, but in the end, after thinking about it for a while, he still decided to stand up and follow to see what happened, besides, he hasn't finished reading the books in the library.

In the middle of the day, Proyas's brother Prince Carlin didn't know where he went, leaving Hargrove and the two soldiers to escort Lu Tao into the palace, fortunately, maybe he saw that Lu Tao didn't bring any decent weapons, and the two soldiers didn't put shackles or ropes on Lu Tao or anything like that, and the proud Hargrove on the other side didn't seem to do anything because he didn't think of this.

After passing through a large open space and several layers of city walls, Lu Tao was sent to a prison underground, and judging by the strength of the defenses around him, this prison should be more important. The one-person prison has beds, tables and chairs, and it is not as simple as those prisons with only straw, except for the commode in the corner, which still makes people feel very uncomfortable.

The prison was already full of people, and Lu Tao even saw this alchemy association member who he usually met by chance from these people, they had different expressions, not all of them looked panicked, some of them frowned, as if they were thinking about something, and some people were just lying on the bed and falling asleep, and even snoring leisurely, these situations made Lu Tao puzzled, and he didn't know what was going on.

"Boy, you're here too!"

Suddenly, a voice came from the prison on the left, Lu Tao turned his head to look, and saw that it was the Hatton senior he was most familiar with in the Alchemy Association, he waved at Lu Tao, and then pointed to the empty prison next to him and shouted to the two soldiers who sent him in: "Hey, lock him up next to him, I just have time to talk to him, and I don't feel lonely." ”
