Chapter 155: The Library
"Comparable intelligence to humans...... Well, that's an important point. Nehmeyah was calm, frowning, and his face was solemn. And I've heard that those mutant beasts are even bigger than the beasts before them, right? ”
"That's right, not only in terms of intelligence, but those mutant beasts are better than before in all aspects, I think if they didn't still retain animal habits, I'm afraid they would have attacked human towns on a large scale a long time ago." The animal habits that Xiao Yueluo refers to are naturally that kind of living habits, except for those domestic animals, many animals or beasts are wandering in nature.
"But I think you should know that poison is not very effective for those mutant beasts, it can be said that the amount of poison needed to bring down a mutant beast needs to be several times, dozens of times, or more than that of ordinary humans, of course, it may be completely ineffective." Nehmiah still frowned at the girl in front of him, and he couldn't see any emotional changes from her. The use of poison naturally varies depending on the dose, and different doses show different results, otherwise there would be no such thing as "lethal dose" and "non-lethal dose".
"So this aspect needs to be considered by you, teacher, how to make the poison take effect......" The corners of Xiao Yueluo's mouth were slightly hooked, and at the same time, she shook the glass bottle in her hand towards the person in front of her.
"Okay, okay, I see, but you'd better put that thing down first, okay?" Nehmia's whole body leaned back, a few drops of cold sweat crossed his forehead, he was really a little afraid that Xiao Yueluo's hand suddenly slipped, and then the contents of the bottle were sprinkled on his body, although the poison in it was not fatal, but if it touched his body, it would be very uncomfortable, not to mention that he hadn't even developed an antidote.
"This?" Xiao Yueluo glanced at the item in her hand, and then put it back on the medicine shelf.
"Besides, teacher, did you agree?" Xiao Yueluo looked at Nehemia, and the expression on her face didn't change much.
"What if you don't say yes?" Nehemiah sighed, with a helpless expression, "Since I have this plan, and now I have a direction, although the probability of success is very low, I still have to work hard after all." After all, he didn't want to regret it when he remembered it later.
"Then this matter will get rid of you, teacher."
Then, after discussing some of the remaining issues with Nehmeyah, Xiao Yueluo left the medicine room directly. In fact, today's conversation is just Xiao Yueluo's temporary idea, although she has also, no, even now she wants to delve into poison making, after all, it is not an overnight thing to improve her own force value, but if it is poison making, with those things in her mind, maybe she will be able to obtain a certain amount of self-protection ability in a short period of time, and this is also her purpose this time.
"Miss Edith, this is the palace's built-in library." Pointing to the closed door in front of him, Lawrence introduced to Xiao Yueluo. Although he was a little surprised by the behavior of the person in front of him running to the library as soon as he entered the palace, he still brought Xiao Yueluo here according to Nehmia's instructions, and of course, he still didn't forget to introduce them by the way when passing by some facilities, even if the person being introduced didn't seem to have the slightest desire to know about them.
"If you want to use it, you don't have to tell anyone else at that time, just come over directly, of course, you still have to register with the librarian inside before that." As he spoke, Lawrence reached out and pushed open the door to the library, but before his hand could touch the doorknob, the door was pulled open from the inside.
What caught her eye was a blonde woman with long wavy curls, and her lilac tunic skirt set off the temperament that was different from ordinary people, so even if she just glanced at each other, Xiao Yueluo could see that the identity in front of her was not simple. As for behind her, there was a maid standing with her belly in her arms, and her expressionless face was obviously well-educated. And such a person, even if he no longer works as a maid in the future, there are many people who rush to marry.
"Good evening, Miss Leticia Olnice."
Just when Xiao Yueluo was secretly looking at the person in front of her, Lawrence in front of him suddenly bent down and made a gentlemanly salute, and the name in that sentence also successfully made Xiao Yueluo raise her eyebrows in surprise, but she didn't ask out loud.
As for the woman who was called Leticia Olnis, although she only nodded faintly, judging from the look on her face, it was obvious that she also knew Lawrence.
"Who is that person?" Xiao Yueluo asked as she stood by the wall, her gaze moving as Leticia left.
"Leticia Olnes, daughter of Prince Isidor Olnes." Perhaps because he heard the question in Xiao Yueluo's question, Lawrence replied directly, "She is also a regular visitor to this library, and if Miss Edith wants to come over, you should be able to see her often." ”
"Prince?" Xiao Yueluo turned her head to look at Lawrence beside her, and asked with some uncertainty, "His Majesty Elias Olnis's younger brother?" ”
"It's not." Lawrence shook his head, then continued with a puzzled look in the face of Dawn Moon, "Prince Isidore Olnis is His Majesty's brother. ”
"Brother? But ......"
"It's indeed the elder brother, although it is indeed a little strange in terms of the order of succession, but this is the case."
In the Islamic continent, the succession of nobles is hereditary, that is, the hereditary system does not take into account the ability at all, even if you do not have any skills, as long as you are the eldest son, you can inherit the title, even if it is the succession to the throne. Of course, if there is an accident in the first heir, or if the first heir voluntarily gives up the inheritance power, the title or the succession to the throne will fall on the second heir, the former may be more likely, but the latter is said to be very little, or basically none, after all, few people can resist the temptation of power.
In addition, there are also cases of eldest daughters inheriting titles in some countries of the Islamic continent, such as the former Duchy of Evel and the current Duchy of Borgia.
"I heard Mr. Charles say that Prince Isidore Olnis was actually a very capable man, but because he had no desire for power, and he liked to gallop on the battlefield, he directly gave up the plan to inherit the title. And His Majesty Elias Olnis......" At this point, Lawrence suddenly stopped, and at the same time, his face was overflowing with inexplicable complexity.
And for such an expression, even if the person in front of her didn't say it, Xiao Yueluo could more or less guess it, after all, for the change in the temperament of the ruler of the empire, the scope of circulation is not only limited to the empire, because whether it is the high-pressure dictatorship at home or the strong diplomacy against other countries, it is clearly demonstrated.
"If you're here, come in." The door of the library, which had not yet been closed, suddenly appeared at the door...... Woman? Girlish? Lori?
"This is Miss Beatrice Maysfield, the librarian."
Looking at the person at the door now, Charles's words made the corners of Xiao Yueluo's eyes twitch slightly, she really couldn't match the person in front of her with the image in her impression, after all, the librarian in the Borgia palace in her memory was an old man in his sixties, plus the golden and white palace-style robes, he looked very learned at first glance, which was like the current ......
"How do I feel like you're thinking of something rude?" Just when Xiao Yueluo was wandering outside the world, Beatrice also followed Charles's movements and set her eyes on Xiao Yueluo, but the words were said with an inexplicable accent, not annoying, but just a little weird.
"Forget it, let's talk about it first." Beatrice waved her hand, took one last look at someone in a stunned state, and turned around and walked towards the library without waiting for Xiao Yueluo to answer.
How?
Xiao Yueluo asked the person next to her with her eyes, but Charles naturally couldn't understand what someone wanted to express, and said to Xiao Yueluo with a smile on her face: "Miss Edith, let's go and have a look first, just take advantage of Miss Maysfield's time." ”
"Available?" Xiao Yueluo was a little puzzled, but Charles didn't seem to want to answer this question, but turned around and walked directly towards the library.
Following Charles into the interior of the library, unexpectedly, the environment inside was much more empty than Xiao Yueluo imagined, and it was also not as dark as she had imagined. In fact, in the memory that belonged to Stephanie Borgia, perhaps because some bad things had happened, and all the past related to the library was a little vague, and the reason why she knew the old man in the library was only because she had met her once when she was Stephanie. And the library in the palace of Borgia, to be honest, let alone entering, she had never even approached at the beginning, at most it was limited to a glance from a distance, in addition to no special need, her situation also accounted for a large part of the reason, after all, death was so close at that time, from time to time someone secretly stumbled on her, how could she have time to think about it.
"Don't be in a daze, come over here, I still have something to do later."
