1056 Temple Stacks

After reading the messages left by the opponents, the "bad old man" in the armor of the probationary angel hung the portrait back in place and walked down the spiral staircase illuminated by the firelight, and stood in front of the iron gate leading to the ground.

Showing the apprentice angel badge to the skeleton on the door, the heavy iron door opened inward, Lin Chi strode in, this time it was not an underground prison, but a large library full of various books.

The cyan-skinned servant held the candlestick tremblingly with his bone-thin right hand, and walked through the mass of bookshelves, the bodies of these creatures clumped into a C-shape, the outline of the spine protruding from the skin of the back, and it looked like he was about to die.

Seeing Lin Chi arrive, a servant who happened to pass in front of him turned his head, his round black eyes stared at the armor on Lin Chi's body, then shook his skeletal head and nodded vigorously, and stood aside respectfully to get out of the way:

"Welcome, apprentice angel!"

Seeing that the other party seemed to be a subordinate existence, and he looked very respectful to the apprentice angel, Lin Chi, who couldn't speak, ignored the rickety servant, and just continued to stride into the library, looking for usable clues in it.

The servants along the way all looked respectful, but Lin Chi still noticed that they all had scimitars hanging from their waists. The seemingly thin servants are not ineffective, and if a battle breaks out, it is still necessary to pay attention to the threat that these guys may bring.

The area of this giant library is not only very large, the place as far as the eye can see is full of wooden bookshelves that are nearly ten meters high, and there are large volumes of books placed on them, Lin Chi casually took out a few books and looked at them, the contents were still written in sacred words that he couldn't understand at all.

- Don't you have a book that you can understand?

Realizing that he couldn't read the books in this library, Lin Chi began to look for the portrait of Duke Feigner in the library, he picked up a candlestick on the wooden table, looked around with the help of the light of the candle, and walked around the library for a while, but found no trace of the portrait.

However, although there is no portrait of Duke Figner, there are portraits of others:

A portrait of a noblewoman, hung on the wall between two bookshelves, shows a woman with her hands on her chest, wearing a blue gown commonly used by nobles, with a bouquet of white flowers pinned to the neckline.

Like Duke Feigna, this middle-aged woman, who still has charm, also showed a loving and kind smile, her hair was tied up in a bunch at the back of her head, and she was wearing an intricate ornament on her head that Lin Chi couldn't name, which looked like it should be very expensive.

Lin Chi stopped his gaze on the nameplate under the frame and looked at the text on it:

"Lady Smiling, patron saint of the Temple."

- Is this a code name?

Noticing that his real name was not written under the painting, Lin Chi frowned slightly, and always felt that things were not simple.

The "celebrities" who will appear in this temple are obviously not idle people. No matter how "amiable" you seem, you must be ready to fight once you meet a real person.

Could it be that there is something hidden behind this portrait as well?

Lin Chi stretched out his hand and was about to take off the frame, but he heard heavy footsteps at the entrance of the large library, followed by the creak of the door opening, and the respectful voices of the servants:

"Welcome Trainee Angel!"

"Tell me, did anyone hide here just now?" Another rude male voice sounded, sounding like a very angry look: "Our partner has been attacked!" ”

"No, only one probationary angel came to check the information." The servant replied in a trembling voice.

"I'll search over here, maybe there's an intruder." The "apprentice angel" who walked into the room had no intention of leaving, but continued to walk towards the large library.

Hearing the other party's footsteps, Lin Chi put the candlestick on a small cabinet next to the bookshelf, and he left this dead end lightly, and began to circle with the trainee angel who came in to search through "listening to the sound and identifying the position".

The size of this library is huge, not to mention walking this person, even if it is playing hide and seek with ten people. Lin Chi moved in the opposite direction of the other party's footsteps, and with his agility value of 22 points, he took an unusually light step without making a sound.

"Hmmm......"

The apprentice angel, who was searching the stacks, made an irritable voice.

Under Lin Chi's subtle movement, he searched for a while and didn't even find a hair, and finally could only turn around and walk to the door, and the footsteps began to fade away.

However, just as he was about to leave, the somewhat sluggish apprentice angel finally noticed something unusual, and asked the servant holding the candlestick in front of the door, "You said that a probationary angel came just now?" ”

"Yes, the lord is in the library!" The rickety's servant replied immediately.

"Weird, why didn't I meet him?" The apprentice angel's voice was low.

"My lord, this library is huge, and it's normal that you haven't encountered it." The maid reminded very intimately: "Please be calm, I can guarantee that the adult just now is also an angel and not an intruder!" ”

"Hmm......"

The apprentice angel pondered for a moment, and finally chose to leave, listening to the other party's footsteps disappear after the sound of the door closing, Lin Chi, who was leaning motionless behind a bookshelf, finally relaxed again.

In any case, he finally escaped the pursuit of the enemy for the time being, and now that the apprentice angel is gone, he can continue to search for information in the library.

With this in mind, he picked up the nearest candlestick and examined it among the shelves once more.

Since none of the books here were readable, he was not looking for books, but notes and letters scattered in the stacks. Judging from previous experience, the text used in the letters here can be "sinicized" by the automatic translation system, and if you can find these things, you should be able to find some clues.

Holding a candlestick through the bookshelves, passing by several deformed servants who were mopping the floor, after some searching, Lin Chi finally found a piece of stationery on a round table next to a bookshelf.

He opened the letter and read the text by candlelight, which looked like the maids' work schedules:

"At three o'clock, clean the stacks."

"At four o'clock, clean the prayer area."

"Five o'clock, clean the cloister."

"At seven o'clock, clean the pilgrims' quarters."

"At ten o'clock, bring food to the smiling lady."

- Is the "smiling lady" in the portrait still alive?

Lin Chi narrowed his eyes, put down the letter paper that recorded his work schedule, and turned his head to look at the deep darkness behind him.

Perhaps, you can talk to the "Smiling Lady" and find out what is going on in the temple directly. But it was undoubtedly extremely dangerous, and he still had to complete some preparation before looking for the woman.
