Chapter 34: Good Man

The last rays of the setting sun faded into the distant horizon.

The lights are still bright in Solan City.

In the Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce, Leonard and his party had already left, leaving only Zhu Jue sitting alone in the room on the second floor enjoying a sumptuous dinner.

At the table stood several employees of the Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce, waiting to be called.

"President, Mr. Leonard and his companions chose to stay at the Flower Inn two blocks away, and our guys asked the innkeeper and they only booked a room for one night!"

"Book only one night....... Destroying the Dream Eaters was a condition of the deal with the Priests of Lorcan, and Leonard had made it clear that the mission had to be completed by tomorrow.

No, that means their last action should be tonight or tomorrow, and it seems that my previous assumption was correct. ”

Leonard and the others did not stay in the chamber of commerce's hotel after bandaging their wounds at the Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce, even if Zhu Jue took the initiative to invite, the former still chose to leave.

This is clear that there are some things that he wants to conceal from Zhu Jue, or he is worried that he will suddenly ask the purpose of the Dream Brigade's trip, and he will definitely not be able to say it when the time comes, if he refuses categorically, it seems that the "relationship" that the two sides have cultivated with great difficulty will not be cold before it is hot.

Just come out of sight and out of mind, and go first as respect.

Distance produces beauty.

"Did you find any information on the note I handed you earlier?"

Turning his gaze to another person, he asked.

In the afternoon, when he was chasing the cultist in the garden water corridor, he saw him running into the large library of Solan City, Zhu Jue felt that something was wrong, you must know that the Dream Eater did not even frown when he was carrying out a mortal self-sacrifice during the battle, but this guy had no intention of participating in the war from beginning to end, and even chose to run away in the end.

There was only one reason that motivated him to do so.

He's not a dream eater, that's why he can run so boldly!

However, in the process of escaping, he actually hid in the large library of Solan City with ease, and the guards at the door didn't even mean to stop him!

Priest Locan tasked the Dream Brigade to exterminate the Dream Eaters, and in turn, the Cultists used the Great Library as a shelter...... What is this?

In order to find out the situation of the cat and the real magic mirror, Zhu Jue of the Solan City Library must go in.

However, before going in, there should be no less preparation.

Therefore, in the interval between conversations with Leonard, Zhu Jue handed over the note to his subordinates, with two messages that he had written down in advance for them to investigate.

First, the Great Library of Solan City, or the priests, have some special activities in the near future.

Second, there are rumors related to mirrors in the library of Solan City.

"Tomorrow is the festival of the god of the Okanoz River, and legend has it that King Elek Vada travels every year in a golden palanquin from his distant lands above the twilight sea to the temple on the jasper terrace to pray to the god of the Okanoz River, and all the priests go to the temple to pray to the god and sing chants...... This is a long-standing custom in Solan City, and it is held every year!"

The person in charge of the chamber of commerce's stronghold half-bowed and answered the first question with some restraint.

Elek....... It's that king, and the distant lands above the Twilight Sea...... Forget it, it doesn't matter, anyway, tomorrow all the priests will go to the temple on the jasper platform, right?"

Zhu Jue, who has been in the dream realm for no more than a week, knows these folklore, and his subordinates have reported a bunch of information, and all he can understand is the latter paragraph.

Fiesta!

Intuition tells Zhu Jue that the goal of Leonard and his party is this festival!

The Dream Eaters are probably also staring at this matter, no wonder Priest Lorcan and Leonard are in such a hurry to deal with these people, if such an important event is disturbed by the Dream Eaters, the bad impact will not be much to say.

"What about mirrors?"

After returning from the Great Library, Zhu Jue was thinking about this problem, and after thinking about it, he still felt that it was very likely that the Great Elder of Attar had concealed some information, and the magic mirror might just be referring to something similar, and the latter deliberately did not reveal the true information in order to test whether Zhu Jue could find out about this.

"I'm sorry, but despite the fact that quite a few people have been questioned, no information has been gathered about the rumoured mirrors in the library of Solan City...... There is a very strange way to say it. ”

"Huh?"

"It is rumored that the Great Library refused to use any glass objects from the very beginning of its construction, whether it be windows or utensils, or the mirrors on the usual washstands, and I asked several believers about this, and they also said that they had never seen any glass objects in the Great Library!"

"Refuse any glasswork ......"

Recalling the experience of the afternoon in the Solan City Library, Zhu Jue soon found that he had indeed not seen any glass products in his impression, even in the library, there were marble walls on all sides, and the windows were in the corridor on the second floor, which seemed to be wooden windows.

Since this rule had been set since it was built, and Grand Elder Attar must have been to Solan City when he had not yet become a priest of the Temple of Usa.

This means that Grand Elder Atar is likely to know about this, but still asks Zhu Jue to go to a place where mirrors do not exist to find a mirror.

"Is this the test you give......

Holding a napkin to wipe the grease stains from the corners of his mouth, Zhu Jue looked at the big library in the distance outside the window,

Head straight to the Solan City Grand Library.

......

It's not so difficult to sneak into a building with a huge footprint, let alone a semi-open place like the Great Library.

Except for the pass guarded by guards, as long as the rest of the place finds a gap between the patrol team, Zhu Jue, who has the help of a scavenger, can naturally enter easily.

It's all about finding what you're looking for!

The sand and gravel ropes cut through the canopy of the trees under the cover of the night, and connected to the eaves of a house, and then a figure flew through the air with the force of a wave, and landed at the top of the corridor.

The guards patrolling the corridor held torches, faintly heard some soft sounds, looked up a few times, and felt that it was an illusion, shook their heads and continued to walk.

Zhu Jue was lying on top of the marble-paved arched corridor like a gecko, and the surface area that had not been cleaned for a long time had accumulated a lot of fallen leaves and dust, which made him have to lift his head up as much as possible.

Wait until the light of the fire below disappears around the corner not far away, and then raise your head to look at your surroundings.

The entire Solan City Library is not a single building, but a complex of buildings connected by various corridors and courtyards, Zhu Jue has been to the real library area before, and after thinking about some things, Zhu Jue has basically confirmed that there is indeed no magic mirror inside.

After summarizing the information from all sides, Zhu Jue believed that the magic mirror proposed by the Great Elder Attar was most likely false.

But at the same time, Zhu Jue also believed that Grand Elder Atal would not completely make up something, and then let him grope aimlessly.

That's not called a test, that's called tricking, and if you don't get it right, you'll be hammered to the ground.

Therefore, if you want to find the Codex Nackert, the key is likely to be on this "magic mirror".

Zhu Jue came here tonight, and what he was looking for should be something that can play the same role as a mirror!

Half-squatting at the top of the corridor, the sand line shot out again, dragging himself to the roof of the building next to him.

This is the location that Zhu Jue had found before he dived in, and it was the highest place in the entire Great Library.

With the bright moon wheel overhead, and birds gliding in the night breeze passing nearby, Zhu Jue stood in the corner of the eaves, inspecting the magnificent buildings in front of him.

Grand Elder Attar's prompt was just two sentences, and Zhu Jue didn't think it was hinting at someone or a secret room, so at this time his attention was focused on the inherent architecture inside the Great Library.

What are the properties of mirrors?

One thing that normal people know is that things can be reflected.

What can do the same thing in this area?

Marble walls?

Impossible, the area is too large, and since Attar uses the magic mirror as a hint, it is definitely not a ubiquitous existence.

Pool?

It's a possibility.

Looking down and counting around, the number of pools in the entire complex is not much, 7.

Since he couldn't be sure, Zhu Jue could only use stupid methods.

One by one, I checked the past.

It's not too difficult to do this, and the process is nothing more than sneaking to the edge of the pool, diving down while the patrol team is going back and forth, holding your breath and groping around the bottom of the pool, using your perception to detect if there are any mechanisms or the like.

Start with a small pool.

4 of them were examined one after another, and there was no abnormality in the perception.

Until diving into the 5th medium-sized pool, the unexpected comes!

Don't get me wrong, it's not that I found any clues, but that during the search, Zhu Jue suddenly sensed that someone was approaching the pool.

Discovered?

Sticking to the bottom of the pool, the scavenger floats up against the side to check the situation.

"Shanna, I want to be with you all the time, every moment without you is hellish for me!"

As soon as the scavenger came out of the water, he came back with a greasy confession that he almost didn't suffocate Zhu Jue.

But Shanna's name sounds familiar.

The heroine of the gossip mentioned in the conversation between the two young men that she heard during a break outside the Great Library this afternoon?

"Grefdo, I ...... I love you too, and the moon can bear witness to my friendship with you!"

The woman's response was equally straightforward.

Zhu Jue, who suddenly felt very full under the water, began to think about whether to go out and knock them out.

"Really, I'm so happy, Shanna, I have a surprise for you. ”

"What is it...... Ah, you're so bad!"

"Hey, there's worse. ”

"No, not here, the patrol is coming soon. ”

"Then let's go to the place where we last time, I know that the minaret there will shine at night like this, and even the appearance of people can be reflected, and we will be there when the time comes......"

Gref grinned and said with some urgency.

"You're such a bad boy. ”

Shanna slapped the man on the shoulder, but there was not a word of rejection in her mouth.

"How can you say that, he seems to me to be a good man!"

A pair of hands put each on the shoulders of the two of them, and the deep voice was particularly cold in this environment, and he pulled Greif to himself, and continued,

"I'm interested in the place you just mentioned, how about taking me around?"
