Chapter 226: Private Collection
found a way back for himself and sent Samman away, Liu Ci's life in the Holy Land Port was quite freehand.
Sleep until you wake up naturally, go out to taste the food of the Northland, drink afternoon tea with the funny Reverend Lambert in the afternoon, and watch the more and more tense Mr. Marquis, without the ties, the enemy's unhappiness brings her a huge sense of satisfaction, how can Liu Ci not be happy.
Chrissy was even more satisfied that she had come out of the monastery safely. Come to think of it, the obsidian stone engraved with lines should be the positioning coordinates of Chrissycho when using space magic.
β¦β¦
Monastery, Governor's Office Building.
Charles locked all the information in a drawer and rubbed the corners of his eyes, which seemed to drive away some tiredness. Then he took out the tea set and made himself a cup of tea worth 100 gold.
Outsiders can only speculate about how powerful the Abbey's trusteeship is in the entire Holy Land Harbor Abbey, and few can face his enormous daily workload.
Every student in the monastery is an important asset of the Holy See, and the monastery does not charge tuition, and even provides students with a comfortable study life, just to allow them to go further in theology. Not only does Director Charles have to pay attention to the dynamics of each student, but he also has to pay attention to whether there are any abnormalities in the waiters who are several times the number of students.
Private fights are not allowed in the monastery, and bloodshed under external forces is not allowed, and whether the origin of each attendant is innocent is a matter of concern to Council Charles. He had to do the little things himself, so that the Holy Port Monastery could become a heavily guarded and isolated place.
Even within the Holy See, no other force could infiltrate the abbey, and this was the Abbey of Port Sanctuary under Charles's rule. Keeping the students untainted by any force and becoming the purest clergy is the top priority of his daily work. In comparison, dealing with some applications recommended by other dioceses and the like seemed to Charles to be a breeze.
He used to enjoy a good cup of tea in the studio at the end of the day, which would drive away his psychological tiredness, and the high-quality tea rolled down his throat and into his stomach, and Charles would feel warm all over.
Even the people around him knew little about this habit, and after drinking tea quietly, Director Charles would put away the tea set and extinguish the lights in the office, and then close the door that represented the supreme power of the abbey, and leave the office building alone.
The butter chandelier under the eaves can burn overnight with a glass cover, and even Rachel can't easily approach the governor's office building, and the waiters can only patrol the night from a distance.
As soon as Director Charles left, the entire small building fell silent. The students of the monastery had a regular schedule, and almost all of them fell asleep at this time.
In Charles's private library, a figure suddenly appeared, probably unexpectedly Liu Ci threw the obsidian stone on the steps, and Chrissy stumbled and almost rolled down.
"Damn it!"
Before he could get to his feet, the lights in the basement suddenly turned on, and Chrissy almost thought that he had been ambushed, so he didn't immediately use his magic to escape.
When she stood firm, she found that the basement was empty, and it turned out that the magic lamp that was automatically sensed was on.
Charles' private library is truly extravagant!
Magic lamps hung overhead, rows of non-perishable olive wood bookshelves leaned against the walls, and the number of neatly stacked parchments almost reached the ceiling...... Chrissy's good eyesight, even the books on the outermost part of the book, are the best of her name, this is a dream paradise for the elf girl.
She vigilantly surveyed her surroundings and found that there was no trace of the magic array, except for the magic lamp overhead, which was really a simple but amazingly well-stocked ordinary reading room.
Chrissy walked forward quickly, her slender fingers running through the spine of the book, and her fingertips fluttered as if she were playing beautiful music.
Finally trying to suppress her greed, Chrissy remembered her purpose, her eyes fluttered, and she began to quickly scan the titles of the books on the shelves. Those that had nothing to do with spatial magic, even the Light Forbidden Technique couldn't make her gaze linger for a moment.
Most of Charles's personal collection of books are related to light magic and theology, and the rest can be regarded by him as classics of the application of magic in various departments.
"It is worthy of the Holy Land Port Monastery, the Holy See has always been the heaven above the head of the Bright Continent, and even the deans of the major magic academies will be tempted to read some books!"
Chrissy couldn't help but say to herself, she had used the special ability of space magic to go to several magic academies, and the access control of the library was indifferent to her, so she was naturally qualified to make such an evaluation.
Chrissy quickly browsed through several bookshelves, and she did find a small number of magic books on space magic, but unfortunately the contents of the hurried pages were only a big deal, and the simple theory of space magic was not enough for her to read more.
"Isn't the excavated document here?" Chrissy was secretly puzzled, and felt that it was not right. Even Rachel knew that Governor Charles had a private library, and Chrissy had heard of it after wandering around the convent for a long time.
But no one but Charles himself could open the library, which was closely related to him, and she had explored the council building several times before Liu Ci threw the obsidian into the basement, but could not find the location of the basement at all...... Without obsidian as a coordinate traction, Chrissy Town was like being blindfolded with an invisible strip of cloth, and the library did not exist in her "eyes".
A basement that does not exist to outsiders is certainly one of the safest places in the entire monastery. If the excavated documents are not here, then where will they be?
"Oops!"
In a flash of lightning, a flash of light crossed her mind, and Chrissy seized the incredible thought.
Almost subconsciously, she recited the spell to leave, but when the green mist emerged and dissipated, Chrissy remained in place.
Cold sweat slid down Chrissy's ears, and instead of leaving after the green mist dissipated, there was one more person in the library, a man dressed plainly dressed but imposing.
He sat on the chair, took a book from the bookshelf and flipped through it, without raising his head, and asked casually: "Why, you didn't find the documents of the ruins, are you very disappointed?" β
The man's voice was gentle, but Chrissy was sweating profusely, and her steps were weak.
"Charles ......"
That's right, the man who suddenly appeared in the library room was none other than Director Charles, who should have left a long time ago.
Charles closed the book spread out on his lap and glanced up at the elven girl who was almost trembling.
"Why don't you speak? Do you think I'm asleep, you've been investigating my daily routine for a long time, and the students in the monastery and even the attendants around me don't know that I have a habit of drinking tea, but I guess you know it, right? So the new tea that was sent half a month ago was soaked in medicine, and after drinking it, people immediately wanted to go to bed. β
Chrissy looked panicked, her mouth squirming a few times but not saying anything.
Charles didn't pay attention to it, and said to himself: "You see, if you can come and go in the monastery as you please, you will naturally not look at me anymore, ah, it's just a rotten clergyman, you must think so...... Chrissy Turn, did your elders teach you that it is rude to enter and leave other people's territory at will? Since they have not fulfilled their duty to teach you, I will have to teach you for them. β
Charles stood up.
The space mage of the elven clan in front of him made him lose face in front of the Pope. From being a student in the Holy Land to becoming the trustee of the abbey, Charles has a much deeper affection for the abbey than his two friends, and as he said, it has become his own private territory, and now even the Pope has to consider the serious consequences if he wants to remove him from the council.
The abominable elves nearly wiped out his efforts, and the Pope even had an excuse to meddle in the convent's internal affairs. How could Charles let go of Chrissy, who almost caused his job turmoil......
"Tsk, there is unwillingness in your eyes, you can't run away anyway, I can also tell you the truth. Although you have been caught now, the remains of the 5,000-year-old Mage Tower are indeed real, and there is indeed very little important information about space magic in the unearthed documents, and I did apply to His Majesty the Pope to put the information in the monastery. But it's not here, it's the library you frequent......
You see, as long as you have a little ability, both humans and elves like to be smart. Especially you, a young elf, are learning space magic, you are very proud of Chrissy, you know that the Holy See wants to use the ruins of the Mage Tower to lure you out, but you still take the bait. β
Charles approached step by step, Chriss's legs trembled slightly, and she stepped back step by step, until her back was pressed against the wall, and there was nowhere to retreat.
Charles didn't do anything to Chrissy, he just walked past her and bent down to pick up the obsidian on the steps.
"With such a superficial space magic, you dare to break into the Holy Land Port Monastery, the space mages have really disappeared for too long, and the blind confidence of the younger generation has grown."
After speaking, Director Charles shook his palm, and when he spread it out, the obsidian that could be used as a building material for the Mage Tower had already broken into powder under his grasp, and with a light blow, the stone powder fell all over Chrissy's body.
Such a contemptuous and disdainful gesture was unbearable even for the mild-tempered elves, but Chrissy still did not resist. At this time, the elf girl was shrouded by the dangerous aura exuded by Charles, and she couldn't even move a finger.
"Without spatial coordinates, you should be honest...... But I've heard that you already have elven wings, so it seems that I still can't be careless. β
Charles stared thoughtfully at Chrissy, and the girl clung to the corner, eager to bury herself in the wall.
However, the dangerous councillor Charles has reached out to her, and Chrissy has nowhere to run. When the coercion intensified, the hidden elven wings of Chrissy Town could no longer be hidden.
A green glow erupted from her body, and the camouflage that the elven girl had used on herself was brokenβa pair of green wings spread out under her ribs, and the girl's ordinary appearance was also undergoing a shocking change. Her hair turned the most beautiful green leaves, her ears became pointed, and her facial features faded to reveal her true stunningness.
The skin is as white as the ice and snow that does not melt all year round on the top of the mountain, the eyelashes are curled, the lips are red and moisturized, the nose tip is small and delicate, and the bridge of the nose is straight and straight...... Under his unsightly hooded robe, the curve has also undulated, although it is not a fire-breathing figure with a convex front and backward curl, but the long legs are straight, and the slender waist is outrageous.
"No wonder you're so arrogant, it's a rare green elf. Capture you, and maybe your people will rescue you? The elves have been hiding for too long, it's time to get out of the jungle! β
The weak and beautiful demeanor does not arouse Charles's pity, and of course there is no obscenity in his eyes, and his gaze at Chrissy Town is calm and clear.
The expressionless Director Charles's fingers moved slightly, and a light tightly wrapped around Chrissia's wings, his fingers closed, and with a slight stabbing sound, Chrissy's wings were broken!
"Noβ"
The severe pain caused Chrissy to open her eyes as beautiful as an oasis under Charles's suppression. She stared at Charles, the shock and pain in her eyes like an indissolvable mist:
ββ¦β¦ How can it be...... You're a space mage! β
