Chapter 35: Validating Conjectures

More than ten meters of gilded spires, draped in silver veil in the moonlight, like a dream.

Zhu Jue looked at the face reflected on the surface of the spire in front of him, raised his hand to touch the body of the tower, and his perception was fully open, looking for any trace of secrets that might be hidden in it.

And it turned out to be nothing......

The entire minaret is made of solid marble, and apart from the gilded surface, there are no imaginary dark grids or any other special mechanisms inside.

"Magic Mirror, Magic Mirror, tell me where the Codex Nackert is. ”

While covering his face and reciting a spell in his impression, he felt extremely ashamed, and at the same time, Zhu Jue secretly looked forward to what could happen in his heart.

Waited a few minutes.

Except for the thought of pinning Attar to the ground and beating him in his head.

There seems to be nothing else.

"Am I wrong?"

The successive failures made Zhu Jue begin to doubt whether his thoughts were correct.

Was there a deviation in the direction of his thinking, or was the information given by Attar inadvertently omitted, or was the Magic Mirror actually stored somewhere in the Great Library, but no one knew about it?

Turning around with a frown, Zhu Jue prepared to go back and recheck the pool.

He has never been a person who likes to do things halfway, and since he is here, he has to put his ideas into action.

Mistakes must be understood!

He took a few steps to the side, ready to summon the scavenger out of here.

The sand line rose up, connecting the nearby corridor, but the last glance before leaving made Zhu Jue stop.

He had looked at himself from standing in front of the gilded spire.

There is only oneself in his eyes.

Now that he is far away, his appearance is blurred, but he reveals another thing reflected on it.

There is a gilded spire in the whole library, with the Zhujue station in front and the wall behind it, but on the side of the Zhujue is a three-story building with a Gothic style.

Strictly speaking, it is the existence that the gilded minaret has always reflected!

With a crisp snap of his fingers, Grevdo, who had brought him, immediately trotted up.

"What is this building for?"

"It was a place where the priests used to pray and study the scriptures, and each priest had his own private room here, all on the second floor...... On the first floor is the prayer hall, where the priests exchange ideas, and on special days, we also hold gatherings here. ”

Trembling as he answered the other man's question, Greifdo's mind was all about the rock by the pool that had been smashed to pieces by a punch.

"A special day?"

Zhu Jue raised his eyebrows, and continued,

"Meaning you don't usually show up here, I guess I got it right. ”

"Yes, only the Priestess and Shanna can come here. ”

"Oh?"

beckoned to Shanna and motioned for her to come over,

"I want to think about it...... It should have been the past month, has there been anything strange happening in that building, remember, it has happened in the past month, if something similar has happened before this, then don't mention it!"

So far, Zhu Jue has no longer sought information on the location of the so-called Codex Nakert in Attar's mouth.

If the magic mirror is fake, then the location information must be asked through other media, and the clue is here.

The question is, the magic mirror aside, how does Attar know that there is a clue here?

How could this old fellow, who had been in the Temple of Usa for decades, be able to determine the situation in a city from a distance of hundreds of kilometers?

In Zhu Jue's view, there are only two possibilities.

Either when the other party was stealing the "Codex Nackert", he didn't hide completely at all as he said, but hid in a place where he could see the intruder and confirmed the identity of the thief to some extent, which allowed Zhu Jue to investigate.

This reason sounds far-fetched, but the possibility is just average.

The remaining one possibility is simple.

Grand Elder Atal also knows divination!

When Zhu Jue asked him for divination in the Wusa Temple, the latter said that he only knew about this spell because of his friend, and at that time, Zhu Jue didn't think much about it because he only wanted to know what this spell was.

Now because of the matter of the magic mirror, I began to recall the situation at that time, and when I thought about it carefully, I found that there were many loopholes in his words.

First of all, Zhu Jue said that he learned his divination method in a dream after reading a certain book, and Attar almost didn't think about saying that it was a book similar to the Codex Nakert.

How did he know that he could learn spells in his dreams after reading a book, and subconsciously said something similar to the "Codex Nackert"?

Secondly, he knew too much about the information of the divination method, and even some details that Zhu Jue was not aware of could be described very clearly.

But he himself showed a very repulsive look at this kind of knowledge.

If he really wanted to be so repulsive, why did he go out of his way to learn more about this knowledge from his friend?

There was only one reason, he had learned this spell himself through the Codex Nackert!

After this conjecture appeared in Zhu Jue's mind, many of the problems that had plagued him before were almost solved.

Why would Attar give information about the Magic Mirror when he might have known that glass didn't exist in Solan City's Great Library?

Because he saw similar images in the dreams brought about by the divination, Zhu Jue, who had experienced the dream, knew that there was very little valuable information to be obtained in that situation, so Attar could only tell Zhu Jue this way without more information.

"There's a magical mirror in the Great Library of Solan City that can help you find anything you're looking for, and I mean help you locate the Codex Nackert. ”

This sentence, which sounded extremely normal at the time, is now that Attar specially added the second half of the sentence because of uncertainty after saying the first half of the sentence!

Of course, all of the above were conjectures that Zhu Jue flashed into his mind, after all, there was no clear evidence, and he couldn't be sure of its authenticity.

That's why he's here.

Practice is always the best way to test your conjecture!

"Yes, it's been about two weeks ago, and Greifor and I have been over there at night...... When chatting, you will always hear some strange noises, which Gref knows about a lot, you can ask him. ”

Shanna tugged at her boyfriend's clothes and motioned for him to speak.

"Probably the other day, our ...... After the exchange, I was about to go back to my residence, and I heard someone in the prayer room on the second floor saying something strange, I didn't know the exact content, and I ran away for fear of being discovered......"

"Can you go to which room? ”

In the prayer room on the second floor, Zhu Jue had also heard it during the afternoon conversation, and it seemed that he had met Greifor and one of his friends.

So it seems that what Grefor said should be true.

"Well, it should be the innermost rooms, I'm not sure. ”

At that time, Gref didn't have time to run, how could he pay attention to this, if he was caught, he would not only be expelled from the big library, but even go to prison.

"Got it. ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and slashed at the back of the necks of the two of them, and then dragged them under a nearby courtyard tree, and found a bush to put the unconscious man and woman in.

Before leaving, he specially threw two gold coins on them, which was considered a reward.

With the help of the scavenger, he easily opened the window on the second floor and sneaked in, in order to ensure that he was not discovered in advance, Zhu Jue deliberately chose to stay away from the room that made a special noise pointed out by Greifdo.

The moonlight shines through the hollow carvings on the windows and falls into the corridors, illuminating the prayer rooms on the other side of the wall and the corners of the corridors.

The whole process of perception is turned on, and he slowly touches the inside of the second floor.

Halfway through, there was already a reaction in the perception.

There's someone in the room ahead!

Realizing this, Zhu Jue immediately began to focus all his attention on the person, using his perception to confirm the situation in the room he was in as much as possible.

However the more detailed the perception.

The expression on Zhu Jue's face became more and more strange.
