ps: A small paragraph has been added, and the modification has been completed.

The players turned to look at the hoarse voice, and there stood an old man with a white gray beard. His weather-beaten face bears the marks of time, and only the eyes that glitter with a sparkle seem to show the world that he is still in good spirits. The pale blue plush piping robe, though not very fitting with the old man's image, is not surprising in the current climate.

Rielly looked each other up and down for a moment, and then stepped forward: "This gentleman, you are the person who speaks in this stronghold of the Scroll Society?" ”

"I'm Dr. Ingalls, the librarian of the Iron Riding City Chapter of the Book Society. So who are you, and why should you disturb the freedom of others to immerse themselves in the sea of books. The old man in his pointed hat looked at the players in front of him dissatisfiedly.

Today, the old man was reading the spell materials under his authority in the internal archives of the Scroll Society, as usual. Unbeknownst to him, a clerk suddenly sent a message that there was a disturbance in the hall in front of him. What kind of anger will a mage who has interrupted his study have, based on Ingalls's current appearance, can be regarded as a good temper.

As the supreme leader of the Scroll Society in Iron Riding City, this situation, which almost thought to be knocked on by others, made him have to put down his beloved research and deal with it. In exchange for free access to spells under the 4 rings, he must take on the responsibility of his own.

The internal members of the Scroll Society, from the lowest to the highest, are apprentices, scholars, secretaries, doctors, masters, and mentors. Each level has its own rights and obligations.

Although Mr. Ingalls is only in the middle and upper echelons of his authority, he is also qualified to apply for a garrison in a city like Iron Knight. The top managers of each residency are referred to as librarians in the Book Society, to signify the importance they place on knowledge and books.

"It turned out to be Administrator Ingalls, and compared to a big man like you, I can naturally only be regarded as an ordinary wild mage. But the wild mage is also a mage. The dignity of the arcane is not to be desecrated. The irony in Rieli's words was full of irony, as if she was not afraid of the other party's turn of face at all.

Seeing this, the noodles standing behind her really pinched a cold sweat for this bold guy in his eyes: "You shrew is really afraid that the world will not be chaotic!" In case this guy in front of you breaks out and hurts someone, can you, a second-ring mage, stop it? And we're on each other's turf now,'

Thinking of this, the noodles secretly looked at the high-domed hall in front of him. Try to find potential enemies from the entrance gate, the pillars on both sides, and the tables and chairs that are set up in preparation for a breakthrough that will take place.

Barrett, in contrast, looked calm at this time, because he knew that if nothing else, the Mr. Ingalls in front of him would not do anything.

Why did Rieli deliberately declare this out loud in public? In order to make his own experience known to everyone. In this way, even the principal of the Scroll Society in this place really has nothing to do with the Evil Dragon Church. I don't dare to blatantly move directly to the blood-stained gray flowers.

This is the biggest difference between open organizations in the sun and those semi-public organizations or secret societies. They attach great importance to their reputation, and to the perception of the rulers - even in the old days, Japan's underworld used to help grandmothers cross the road from time to time, organize disaster relief, and so on.

Even if the Mr. Ingalls in front of him is really an undercover agent of the Evil Dragon Church. But he would never dare to do it until he was authorized by the organization. In case the current position is taken away by the scroll society after the move. The previous investment of both an individual and an organization will be in vain - a responsibility that he cannot afford and dare not bear.

Mr. Ingalls frowned, then glanced at the clerk beside him, motioning for him to go and reassure the other readers in the hall. In the end, he said in his rough voice: "Since you keep saying that you want to seek justice." Then I would like to invite a few of you to come in with me and tell me how it happened. Shouting out like this outside doesn't do anything good. ”

Faced with the advice given by Mr. Ingalls, Elli hesitated, and she subconsciously looked back at Barrett, who couldn't make up her mind for a moment. Barrett nodded after sensing the hesitation in Rielly's eyes. It's like she's telling her that there's nothing wrong with that.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey." Rielly, who had come back to her head, nodded in agreement. The four of them followed Mr. Ingalls into the cloister, and soon disappeared from the sight of the borrowers in the hall.

After the footsteps faded away, the clerk Ingalls had ordered before shook the bell on the desk at the front desk: "All of you! On behalf of the Iron Riding City Branch of the Scroll Society, I would like to sincerely apologize to all of you for what happened to you. As compensation, everyone present will receive a free access to a document under Level 1 clearance......"

As the players follow the librarian's footsteps to the internal reception room, the clerks at the front desk of the Book Society begin to skillfully reassure the customers they had received. However, the one who had been sarcastically struck by Rielly left the hall worriedly after completing the formalities.

Pushing open a carved wooden door in the cloister, Ingalls' caretaker, who was the first to enter the room, snapped his fingers. A soft white glow emerged from the tops of the four bronze candlesticks on the wall, illuminating the room that had been shrouded in darkness.

Like the study at Earl Boreham's Castle, this sitting room is furnished with tall bookshelves that reach to the ceiling. Leaning against the corner is an escalator with pulleys. Paired with the elegant coffee table and soft chairs in the house, it is also in line with the elegant style of the book society.

However, the shelves here are also full of books. But there are only ordinary books bound into volumes. It's not like the Bolim family's study with all kinds of scrolls. Obviously, there are ordinary books that are not very valuable. But even such ordinary books are rare in their lives for many indigenous civilians.

"You may be seated! Now that you have come here, please explain the cause and effect of the incident clearly. Regardless, it's about the reputation of our Ironhorse Chapter of the Scroll Society. "Mr. Ingalls took the lead in taking a seat in the chair that represented his master's place, and then made a casual gesture.

Although the other party's behavior can't hide the lofty temperament in his bones. But players don't care - it's not once or twice that they encounter such natives in the game. If you're always angry, you'll definitely be to death.

Rielly, who didn't find a place to sit, first took out the original commission from her pocket and held it in her hand, and then she gritted her teeth and said, "Originally, I was also going to join the mutual aid and exchange organization of the Book Society with great expectations. After all, among us wild mage groups, the reputation of the Volume Society is still quite good. But what I didn't expect was that reality gave me, a beginner in the arcane arts, a blow in the face......"

Immediately after that, Rieli slowly recounted the experience of her party in the process of reinforcing the Nosaiah family. In this process, she wielded the sensual side of a woman and arranged the whole story vividly. Of course, this is inevitably mixed with his own personal emotions, which makes the story obviously biased.

As Riereley narrates, the wrinkles on Mr. Ingalls' forehead sometimes spasm, sometimes stretch. The expression on his face also became extremely gloomy. As Rielly's companions, several players are now just staying behind the mage and not interjecting or doing anything else.

"That's how it happened. If you want to find out more. I think the Nosaiah family will be more than willing to cooperate. In closing, Ellie emphasized, "If you're worried that the Nosaiah family co-directed this scam with us. Ordinary residents of Hammer City. Later reinforcements from the Beverstock family were also able to verify our claims. ”

In the end, the Nosaiah family and the Beferstock family were involved, and it was Barrett who built it for Rielly. First, it is to enhance the persuasiveness of his own words, and also to give the volume a direction of investigation. On the other hand, it's a threat - it's not just us adventurers who know about it, it's not so easy for you to kill people when you want.

"That's just one side of your argument. To ensure authenticity. The specific situation needs to be further investigated. Mr. Ingalls touched his chin and did not give Rielly a positive reply.

Then, before the mage fire, he pulled a rope hanging from the ceiling and said, "But something like this happened. I think that the Nosaiah family, as the entrusting party, should also have relevant complaint letters during this time. I'm going to tell someone to look for the records of the past few days. ”

From the point of view of mobilizing and guiding the interlocutor's feelings, the old and mature guy in front of him is much better than the inexperienced half-asser of Rieli in terms of controlling the heat. It's just two sentences that seem ordinary. It made Rieli's mood feel like a roller coaster.

It wasn't long before the voice outside the door of the reception room rang out: "Administrator! What do you have to tell me to come here? ”

Mr. Ingalls instructed rather sternly: "Find out to me all the correspondence records of the branch in the last half month, as well as the relevant documents entrusted by the Nosaiah family a month ago." That's right! By the way, bring me the original spell engraving disc as well. ”

"Administrator! Are you sure about the original Spell Engraving Plate? Every time it opens and wants to restore it, the alchemy potion consumed is not a small amount! The voice from outside the door was filled with confusion and hesitation, and seemed to be a little uneasy.

Hearing the reply from outside, Mr. Ingalls frowned, and then directly accentuated his tone: "If you want to go, you will go!" Naturally, I want to do this for good reason. Who the hell is the administrator of the Iron Riding City Chapter? ”

"Yes, yes sir. I'll do it right away! The reply outside the door suddenly became a little flustered.

After the footsteps outside the door were far away, Barrett said with a smirk: "It seems that there is something really wrong with the people under your hands!" ”

"It's just a conversation, and it's not sure anything! Maybe the guy was just scared by my harsh words. Mr. Ingalls said with a straight face.

Rielly didn't forget to scrape her chin with her fingers at this time: "Mr. Ingalls, please press your chest, is this sentence really from your heart?" ”

"Don't think that you are sure of victory now, the truth will not be revealed until the engraving plate is deciphered." Mr. Ingalls gripped his cane and his mouth stiffened.

Barrett, who suddenly remembered something, reminded, "Mr. Ingalls, I think you should also take care of your own safety now." A rabbit that has been cornered may also stun a predatory eagle with its legs. I don't know how many heroes ended up dying under the dagger of conspiracy. Mr. Ingalls, you haven't reached the Olympiad level to be able to use the "Accident Technique" yet! ”

"Don't be alarmist. No one in the Scroll Society's strongholds can threaten me. Having said that, Mr. Ingalls unconsciously let go of his cane and touched the ring on his hand.

The stronger a person's strength, the more he often cherishes his life. And as a mage in pursuit of knowledge and mysteries, his desire for life is even more mortal - otherwise there would not be so many spellcasters in the "lich" group every year.

See Mr. Ingalls such a table. Both Rielly and Barrett had a smile on their faces. Unless the old man in front of him is an actor. Otherwise, he would basically be able to get out of suspicion in this matter.

Players who got this answer are really relieved! You must know that although the foundation of the Volume Society is not very strong in those big organizations on the road, it is a behemoth compared to the players who run the single gang.

So even if it's just a branch leader in Iron Riding City. He can't do it now. It's not a difficult thing to get players out of the way. Being able to avoid such a risk is indeed a good thing for players.

Otherwise, I would be able to walk out of the door of the Iron Rider Branch of the Scroll Society safely today. But then Barrett and the others had to seek refuge in the Chamber of Commerce in Boream. That will have a very big impact on the player's next arrangement.

While everyone was silent in this cold reception room, they were in an ordinary mansion with a three-story brick and wood structure in the Iron Riding City. The man who had been choked by Rielly's words before. With a wave of his hand, he swept the cup in front of his desk to the ground. Fortunately, the tea table is not high, and there is a thick pile carpet on the floor, so this set of exquisite oriental porcelain has not been damaged by Yanzhòng.

"Young master, you put out the fire first. It's not good to be angry. A tall, thin old man in the room glared at the two maids, who immediately left the house after packing up the tea set.

After the maids left, the tall and thin old man asked softly, "What is it that makes you angry like this, young master?" ”

"I met a damn stinking bitch today......" The young man, who was not yet thirty years old, leaned back in his chair in a huff. He began to tell the old man in front of him about his experience in the scroll society today.

"Of course, if you meet that stinky somewhere else. She's also excusable, so I don't care. But in the reading hall of the society, that stinky actually slapped me in the face with so many people. I don't know how many people just watched my jokes! If I don't do something about it. Tomorrow, I'm afraid there will be all kinds of wonderful rumors in Iron Riding City......" Speaking of this, the man's originally delicate face suddenly became distorted and hideous.

After listening to his master's words, the tall and thin old man asked carefully, "So young master, you mean to teach them a lesson." ”

"That's right! For the sake of our Blairley family's reputation, they must pay for it. And I've just taken over the family business, so if something like this happens, it's going to give those side attacks an excuse. At this time, we have to show the strong side of our Blairley family. The young man clenched his fists brutally.

"Then I will command it now! Are you going to have the thieves put a bounty on them or just go to a few adventurers? The tall and thin old man was bending down and saluting, ready to turn and leave.

"Alfred, wait a minute!" The current head of the Blair family immediately spoke out to stop his butler, "This matter is not that simple. You first send someone to follow them to the door of the Book Society and keep an eye on them. It would be nice to confirm their whereabouts and where they are staying. I'm afraid this matter needs to be considered in the long run. The guys in the Bruce gang have been taking the benefits for so long, and it's time for them to get moving. ”

"Young master, do you think you need to be so cautious? So is it necessary to talk to the old man about this matter? The butler's face changed, and his expression became stern.

"The wild mage of the 2nd ring is also a mage, and I am afraid that the person who can team up with her will not be an ordinary adventurer. So the Thieves' Guild and the House of Adventurers are unreliable. Just let the Bruce guys keep an eye on them first. In any case, Iron Riding City is our territory, and we will eventually find an opportunity. Saying that, the new boss of Blair got up and straightened his dress, "You just need to arrange this matter first." I'm going to my father's place now to discuss with him what to do. ”

"Yes, young master, I will definitely arrange it." Butler Alfred said and turned to go out to arrange things.

Then the young boss of Blair also got up and left his room, and walked deeper into the mansion.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Father, are you free right now? "This is the helmsman of the family who has just been imposing in front of his subordinates. In front of him, he looks polite and polite, like a minor adult.

"Just come in! What else have I been able to do since I took off my burden. From behind the door came the old but cheerful voice.

"Okay! Father, in fact, there is something I need to ask you about......" With these words, the young head of the family pushed the door open.

In this room where the oil lamp is still lit in broad daylight. An old man sitting on the edge of the bed was listening to his son's story, and he nodded from time to time. He shook his head from time to time and finally patted the young man's hand and said, "Joshua, you have finally grown up, if it had been a few years earlier, you would never have been able to make such an arrangement now." At that time, I am afraid that you would have brought someone to the door. ”

"At that time, I was really ignorant, and I really caused a lot of trouble to your father. But I'm grown up now! Especially after taking over the family business, I realized how hard you were at the beginning. At this, Joshua smiled wryly. I thought I would never touch this kind of thing again in my life. I didn't expect to encounter this situation at this juncture......"

"That's why I said you've grown up and are no longer as impulsive as you used to be. At the same time, there is no rejection of such things because of past mistakes. Old Blair nodded with satisfaction, "You can't completely avoid that kind of thing in the future." Iron Riding City is a crocodile pool. If we Blair are too weak. The guys around them will tear off the mask of friendliness. Converge like sharks that smell blood. ”

"But it's the first time I've dealt with this kind of guy, and I don't know what to do. If we can't solve them all at once, it's a difficult thing for these unconcerned adventurers to always make trouble for us. "Joshua's current situation can be said to be afraid of wolves and tigers. If you don't deal with Barrett, the family business you just took over may be turbulent, but if you do it, you are afraid that you will be bitten if you don't die.

As the saying goes, porcelain does not collide with broken tiles, and in the eyes of these businessmen with industry, those adventurers who are out and about are a group of outlaws. Even if they exchange their lives for the other party's everything, they don't think it's worth it.

Even if the other party does not threaten his life. But as long as it harasses the industry under its name like kraft candy, it is enough to make many businesses complain. The added cost of doing business against risk-takers who hide and look for trouble is likely to lead to losing the competition with other merchants.

"The most important thing in this regard is not to let people know that we are the ones who did it until it is done. Come here with your ears! I'll introduce you to a good channel today...... "The old gentleman beckoned to his son. Then he whispered something in Joshua's ear.

After a long period of waiting, the players finally waited for the relevant text and spell engraving plate in the mouth of Mr. Ingalls.

When the clerk who had thrown them into the crowd and could not easily find them placed them on the coffee table in the reception room, he consciously walked over to Mr. Ingalls.

"Then let's see if your suspicions are true or false!" Mr. Ingalls grabbed the spell tablet containing the communication message and began chanting the incantation.

With Mr. Ingalls' hoarse voice, the spell engraving disc began to glow faintly white. From the center, a projection full of words is projected. (Pending renewals of recommended votes and monthly passes.) )
