Chapter 419: Miss Ghost in the Library (2)
From the death of the last emperor of the Arathi Empire to the genealogy of the Seven Kingdoms, from the legendary age of the ancient man crossing the vast sea to the war against the forest trolls a thousand years ago, from the ode of a virtuous king to the once-popular nursery rhyme, Miss Librarian with pale pink hair has recently become a regular visitor to the History Division...... Whether her purpose was to learn about history or simply to pass the time, or whether the information she received from the various books was correct or not, her knowledge of the past grew by the day.

Although in the distant past they often wandered the great library of Nomorigen, the dwarf's books rarely had anything to say about humans, and even the occasional mention of humans was simply described as 'high' and 'backward'.
It was the first time that Loria had come across so many books about the human past...... These dusty texts of history, which should have been the reading of nobles and ministers alike, were now a useful reading for Miss Loria to pass the time and to speculate on a whole gloomy drama from the simple narrative between the lines.
The light of the fire on the clay oil lamp flickered and flickered, making the words on the pages unusually blurry, so reading a book can quickly destroy a person's eyesight, but Loria, who has a slightly special constitution, does not need to worry about myopia.
She closed the book, rubbed her eyes, and the image of a bespectacled cat appeared in her mind...... Why do cats wear glasses? Aren't they just as good at eyesight as mine? …… Probably because she had been reading for so long that she was starting to faint, Loria thought wildly, but her hands kept moving, she cleaned up the large desk in the reading area, which was large enough to accommodate a dozen people, brought tea and refreshments from the lounge, walked to the window facing the garden, and waved her hand outside.
A few minutes later, the heavy door of the library was pushed open, and Loria's guests were slowly walking in with a delicate expression on their faces.
As an agent guarding the palace, Dorida had no idea what she was doing...... She reported Loria's identity as a magician to her superiors, but concealed the fact that she had already been in contact with her...... Naturally, her superiors ordered her to continue to spy on Loria as usual.
Dorida, on the other hand, becomes the subject of her own surveillance, and is a guest at the daily morning tea party...... In order to better monitor her target, the agent could only comfort herself with this, and when she saw Loria beckoning to her, she somehow had a hunch that if she didn't come, it would be bad...... When she thinks about the first time they met, Dorida still has a headache.
Loria didn't feel guilty for the after-effects of her misuse of hypnotism that left others with headaches, or perhaps she was a little embarrassed, so she treated Dorida with exquisite refreshments every day.
"How are the people here during the day?"
Loria, who shrank back into her warm nest at dawn and slept soundly, didn't know what the library was like during the day, and the soundproofing of the lounge on the second floor was unexpectedly good, although she was a little curious about who prepared food and hot water for her every day, but she was getting lazier and lazier, and she didn't plan to get up early to see after all.
"I don't know, I'll go back to my dorm room and sleep as soon as it's dawn."
Taking a sip of her tea, Dorida stared at the teacup in a daze, remembering that Loria had told her that this ordinary drink could sell for a high price in the South...... It's hard to imagine that all southerners are fools? She walked in her mind, thinking that she might be able to go into the tea trade when she retired.
"Dorms?"
Loria was slightly curious.
"Well, dormitory, I can't tell you where, it's confidential, it's all shared by two people...... One day and one night, I can't remember what my roommate looked like, the last time I saw her seemed to be before the war? ”
Dorida took another sip of tea, still unable to understand how the difference in the price of tea was made, but she found something similar to the strange exotic girls in front of her—they all worked night shifts.
"That's a lot of fun."
Loria replied casually, and then looked out the window in a daze, the sun was about to come out, and their day's work was coming to an end.
……
The various institutions in the palace seem to be very independent, and although this independence often leads to inefficiency, it also has some other benefits, such as the fact that some unexpected events are difficult to affect the operation of the entire palace.
There was also a side effect of this strange vertical structure - no one could figure out what had happened to the library lately, some people saw the lights inside at night, others saw the ghost of a beautiful girl (she was pale and white, she must have been a ghost), and one guard swore that he had seen the ghosts using the royal library as a place for tea parties.
By word of mouth, the story became more and more bizarre, with one version being the most popular because it appealed to everyone's tastes: the ghost of the former queen wandered the library and asked everyone she met aloud why Steinbrad hadn't swept the Liuhe...... If you don't answer her heart, she will take you to the kingdom of death.
There are innumerable versions of how to answer the question of how to satisfy the former Queen, most of them from old people who lived in the days of great power, some of whom said that Her Majesty should be praised for her beautiful long pink hair, and many of whom were mixed with personal grievances - they should complain about the incompetence of the current king.
To be fair, the old king of Stannbride has worked hard for the country to the point of decay before he is old, and although he does not have the ability to turn stones into gold like the legendary virtuous king, he is also meticulous and serious in governing - the decline of the country is not his responsibility, but ordinary people naturally need someone to take the blame.
As a king, he has a duty to shirk.
Later, the story changed completely...... The first queen returned from the other side to see her little granddaughter, everyone's lovely Princess Rocca...... By the way, it would be nice to take the gloomy-eyed, tyrant-looking prince with him.
Although it is doubtful that the princess can pronounce her name accurately, everyone seems to prefer her to her older brother.
The reason is very simple, the logic is very simple: the previous queen is very powerful, so people need another queen, and the more core reason is - the princess is cute.
The political philosophy of the Steinbrad people is unexpectedly interesting.
When the sun recedes from the sky, Loria has another leisurely night, unaware that she has caused a small commotion, which not only serves people's amusement and fantasy, but also lays the foundation for future court ethics dramas. (To be continued.) )
