In terms of numbers, there were dozens of subordinates that Fide brought into the city, and it was impossible for these militiamen with weapons in front of him to stop Fidel's hard break, but Winoki still took the initiative to stand up and explain to the other party.

"A group of mercenaries with honey-bellied swords!Stop talking nonsense!If you try to force a breakthrough!We will never give in!" The civilians stood side by side in an arc under the leadership of the young man, and the young civilians stood at the top of the arc, holding a rusty, thick iron sword, looking brave and fearless.

Patrick shook his head, "Fed, we don't need to dwell on them. ”

"And what if I'm the only one to go in?" Fett took a step forward, and he suddenly thought of a way to get the best of both worlds, "I'll send my men to contact the regular army outside the city, and have them send someone here to protect the Great Library and keep those mercenaries out." I wanted to borrow some literature without any ill will. ”

The young man also knew that it was impossible to resist the mercenary in front of him, and a sturdy woman beside him also gently pushed his shoulder, and the young man with a very tough attitude just now began to waver a little.

"That's... And when will the regular army you are talking about arrive?"

Fide immediately turned around and ordered Lukka and Noor to hurry to the camp outside the city. Seeing that Fidel did what he said, the young man also made a slight concession. He allowed Fide to walk around the floor, but the upper floors of the Great Library, which housed some important books and codex, were not allowed to enter unless he saw the soldiers protecting the Great Library appear.

Fidel knew he had to hurry, the danger creeping over from Black Swamp was quietly approaching. The rebels in Decree City are already at the end of their crossbows, and it is estimated that they will be defeated by the regular army of the principality and the mercenary defense regiment before sunset, but the assassination of the old duke and the whereabouts of the little duke will definitely implicate themselves, if they are noticed by those regular troops...

Thinking of this, Feder couldn't help but turn his eyes to Ayana and Patrick, and the two companions who had the most tacit understanding with Feder immediately understood what he meant, and began to find ways to distract the militia who had slackened a little. Patrick even gave the young man a steel sword of good workmanship that he had picked up on the side of the road, encouraging him to praise his bravery and go out of his way to protect the Great Library.

When Fidel saw that the attention of the men was drawn to his companions, he immediately headed into the depths of the library. The entire library was empty, except for the rows of bookcases against the wall, except for the sound of empty footsteps accompanying Field. When Fed walked from the first floor of the library to the third floor, and then from the third floor back to the first floor, he didn't find any place where the parchment scroll was hidden. Not to mention the old scrolls that contain magical knowledge, there are not even decent treasure shelves, as if this large book is just a name, and only some of the most ordinary books are stored.

However, when Fentry returned to the first floor, an old scholar with frosty bones and beards was walking towards an inconspicuous room with some books with rotten covers in his withered hands, and Fentry immediately followed behind the old scholar. It wasn't until he walked into the room that he discovered that the Great Library had a passage to the underground, presumably where the rare books and codex were stored underneath.

When Fed walked to the basement level and saw the rows of tall but neat bookshelves, a hoarse voice came from the distance of the bookshelves.

"Are you a scholar, what are you doing here?"

With humility, Feder replied, "I'm a mercenary and want to come here to find something important. ”

"Everyone thinks that mercenaries only look for wealth, but no mercenary knows that knowledge is the most valuable wealth, and you are one of the few who know that knowledge is the most valuable wealth. ”

An old man dressed differently from the old scholar just now walked from the distance of the bookshelf, the old man should be the most respected scholar here, the glasses he was wearing had been spent, and his calmness and sincerity made Fei De awe-inspired.

"How did the old gentleman know that I had not come in search of gold and silver treasures? ”

"There are a lot of things worth grabbing and worth a lot of money on the upper three floors, but Your Excellency chooses to quietly follow the scholar holding the rotten book, and if Your Excellency is really greedy, you will not notice this place. ”

"I really have no intention of robbing the Great Library, and I am not going to hide it from the old man, I intend to take the parchment scroll hidden in the Great Library. ”

As soon as Fidel said this, the old scholar looked up. The old scholar's eyes were full of wisdom, as if he had penetrated Fed's heart in a second.

"Parchment scroll," the old scholar turned slowly, and the old scholar who had walked into the basement with a rotten book in his hand also appeared at the end of the bookshelf, carefully putting the rotten book on it, "We do have a parchment scroll, what kind of parchment scroll does your Excellency want." ”

Feder touched the parchment scroll in his arms, which was given to him by Simus himself, and there was nothing on it, like a piece of waste paper, "This is the parchment scroll." ”

"Like you, the man who wanted to find this parchment scroll had been here before," the old scholar continued to walk deeper without looking back, and Feder followed closely behind, "the man is blind and has lost both arms, but he still wants to find it." ”

Fed's heart was shocked, wasn't the person described by the other party the Pillar Priest? Could it be that the Pillar Priest had already taken the first step and snatched the parchment scroll hidden in the Great Library?

The old scholar continued, "But we don't have the parchment scroll you want... Or maybe they used to be here, but this wasn't the place where they should have been placed, and they and the parchment scrolls in Black Marsh had been taken. The old scholar's words disappointed Fieldton, but Fielder didn't fully believe the other man's words. Although Fed didn't find any clues about the parchment scrolls in Black Marsh, it is very likely that the old scholar in front of him used the same words to hide from the Pillar Priests, just to prevent the scrolls containing magical knowledge from falling into the hands of evil.

"Can you, old man, show me around here?"

"Yes, please come with the old man. The old scholar began to walk around the basement vault with Field. The books here are no more precious than the books on the upper three floors, most of these books hidden underground are broken and old, and some of them have been corrupted by time, and it is impossible to tell what era they are. Even the text on it is difficult to understand, and Fielder guesses that many of the books here are written in ancient script.

After walking around twice, Fei De took a look at all the bookshelves on the basement level. There are no rooms in this basement, no secret passages to the deeper underground, and all the collections are on the shelves, and it really doesn't seem like there's anything you want. Fidel also found some very old parchment scrolls, but those parchment scrolls were full of characters, which were not archaic, so the content on them could be understood, probably related to the history of the Duchy of Magini.

No! Fidel was following the old scholar down the stairs when he suddenly sensed something was wrong. The parchment scroll I just saw was obviously an item from a long time ago, but it was imprinted with the history of the newly born Duchy of Magini. Moreover, there were so many inscriptions on those sheepskin scrolls that it was very crowded, as if someone had deliberately covered those sheepskins completely, without regard for the overall beauty.

Feder immediately turned back to the parchment scrolls that were prominently placed in the spot, and picked up one of them—not this one, it was completely different from the one that Mr. Seamos had shown him, but there were many parchments engraved with the history of the Duchy of Mageni that were pressed, and it was very likely...

The old scholar also walked back, and he didn't say a word, but watched silently by Fed's side, not stopping Feder from looking through the old parchment scrolls.

It wasn't until Feder had checked and compared hundreds of parchment scrolls that he had sifted through seven of them that were very similar to the one he owned. These eight sheepskin scrolls are very similar in appearance, but the seven sheepskin scrolls that have been selected are all printed with letters, densely packed.

"Do you have any interest in these parchment scrolls that are full of the history of the principality?"

Feder touched the eight parchment scrolls with his hand, and after careful thought, he realized why the Pillar Priest could not find out that these parchment scrolls were related to magical knowledge, and why Simus had entrusted this task to himself—even a person who was not blind in his eyes might not be able to see how these parchment scrolls were different from other parchment scrolls that were used to hide people's eyes, let alone those who could not see with their eyes. Himos could only be touched with his hands, and the Pillar Priest might have someone else look it up, but those people weren't the Pillar Priests after all, but the old parchment scrolls had been printed with text, and the black words were meant to avoid touching hands and those who could actually read the contents of the parchment scrolls.

"That's it, that's what I want to find. ”

The old scholar sighed softly, he didn't explain anything, just said lightly, "Is Your Excellency really going to take them?"

"That's right, that's what I'm here for. ”

"It seems that Your Excellency already knows the difference between these parchment scrolls, but the old man would like to warn you that carrying them will bring misfortune. ”

Feder hesitated, but he still rolled the eight sheepskin scrolls together, "Luck and misfortune are in the hands of people," Feder didn't know why he suddenly wanted to refute the other party, but some words had already come out of his mouth, "I don't believe in the so-called fate and prophecy, I just want to hold on to the present." ”

Feder didn't know if Heymus could read the text-stamped parchment scrolls with his fingers, but Fed believed that they were what Hemos was looking for, the purpose of his trip. Perhaps the old scholars of the Great Library were able to deceive the blind and mutilated Pillar Priests, but they were unable to hide it from Fed, who was determined to take them with him.

"Alas, old decay has witnessed many tragedies, and it seems that it is time to continue to rewrite some of the stories. The old scholar slowly pulled a notebook from the bag at his waist and walked tremblingly to a wooden table. But when the other party took out the notebook, he accidentally saw a page turned over, on which were written the names of the three old mage heirs.
