Jun'en Empire, in the residence of the House of Lot.

"Knock knock!" said Bobilis Rod knocking on the door of his father's study.

"Come in. Wilder replied in the room.

Bobilis pushed the door in, and when he saw Wilder, who was sitting on the edge of his desk looking down at many government letters, he greeted respectfully, "Father." ”

"Bobilis, you rarely come to my study. Wilder smiled slightly, his flat expression softening.

"Yes, Father, you are always on business, and Mother is always telling us not to disturb you. Bobilis replied.

Wilder looked into his son's eyes: "Responsibility is above all, one day you will understand." ”

"Yes, Father. Bobilis bowed his head to accept his father's teachings.

"How's the wedding with Princess Maria going?" Wilder asked.

A smile appeared on the corner of Bobilis's mouth, and then he quickly retracted, his expression became flat, and after a moment of silence, he looked directly into his father's gaze and said, "I want to postpone the wedding with Princess Maria." ”

Wilder's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he said calmly, "You're in the wrong order, my son." You should have asked Princess Maria for advice first, not me. ”

Bobilis fell silent again.

"You want to go to the 'Imperial Wall'?" Wilder sighed.

"Yes, Father. Bobilis nodded.

Wilder's eyes opened slightly, the skin on his face stretched a lot, he looked at his proudest eldest son, his face was still a little thin, after the trial of the penance corridor, his son had a lot more things in his son that he couldn't see through.

"My son, if I were you, I would go to Quinn for advice, there is no one in the Junn Empire who is more trustworthy and reliable than him. Wilder said slowly.

Bobilis looked at his father, saw that he had nothing else to say, nodded and left his father's study.

Watching Bobilis leave, Wilder continued to look down at the signal on the table, and after looking at it for a while, he got up and left his position, walked to the edge of the windowsill, and looked at Bobilis who was leaving on horseback not far downstairs, Wilder was in a slight trance, and his expression became worried a little.

Mounted on horseback, Bobilis soon arrived at Quinn's manor, and the guard guarding the gate recognized Pobilis, nodded to him, and let him go.

Bobilis entered the manor, stopped his horse at the steps of the main house, and then turned over and dismounted.

"The Knight of Bobilis. The well-dressed old butler Gamal greeted him with a smile.

Bobilis smiled back and asked the butler, "Hello, Steward Gammal, I'm here to find Lord Quinn." ”

The old butler Gamal replied, "Then the knight of Bobilis, you have to wait a moment, Lord Quinn is talking to some magicians in the study, please come with me, sit down in the little drawing-room, and I will pour you some drink." ”

Bobilis nodded with a smile and followed Gamal into the small living room.

After waiting for a long time, the maid had changed three hot teas before Bobilis was received.

Following Gammar to the huge library in Quinn Manor, Bobilis meets Quinn.

Quinn smiled and asked him, "Gammar said you waited a long time, Bobilis." ”

Bobilis straightened his expression: "Lord Quinn, I only waited so much time to see you, and if others knew about it, they would be jealous of me." ”

"Hahahaha, your father wouldn't play such a joke on me. Haha, my child, I see some questions on your face, tell me if there is anything I can give you a solution. Quinn said with a smile.

"Mistress Quinn, I'm going to the Imperial Wall. Bobilis said seriously.

Quinn looked at Bobilis' serious expression, shook his head slightly, and said, "Come with me and help me carry the ladder." ”

With that, Quinn walked inside the library, and Bobilis followed him, carrying the solid wooden folding ladder in his hand.

"I've been collecting books since I was 11 years old, and this habit has not stopped until now, and these books have always been here as I grew up, matured, and aged. All of this is why I'm here. Quinn said as he walked.

Bobilis listened intently.

"The role of books is to enlighten, to record, to pass on, to warn us so that we do not lose ourselves. We always grow old and forget things, but books don't, as long as they are passed on. Quinn said slowly as he walked to a corner.

Turning a corner, an iron door appeared, and Quinn took the key from his waist, opened it, and walked inside, finally stopping at a large bookshelf.

"Hand me the ladder and help me hold it. Quinn said to Bobilis.

Bobilis opened the ladder and placed it in front of the bookshelf, gripping it firmly.

Quinn climbed the ladder and searched among the top rows of books, and soon found a dusty parchment book.

Once he got the book, Quinn descended the ladder.

"It's not well lit here, so we go outside. Quinn said, dusting the parchment.

Bobilis nodded, put away the shelves, followed Quinn, and walked back to the lobby of the library.

"Go close the door, Bobilis. Quinn walked over to a table and said to Bobilis.

Although a little puzzled, Bobilis was patient, walked to the door, and closed the door.

Back to Quinn, Bobilis watched with some curiosity as Quinn slowly flipped through the very, very old looking parchment.

Bobilis has rarely seen such an old, but well-preserved parchment, and it is clear that Quinn's library has done a very good job of keeping insects and moisture out.

Watching Quinn slowly flip through the book, Bobilis wanted to ask, but he held himself back, Quinn had never been a man who liked to play tricks.

"I got this book from a vampire when I was thirty years old. Quinn said slowly.

"Vampires, undead?" asked Bobilis.

Quinn nodded, "Yes, by chance, he lost the book in a remote town tavern, and when I realized that he had lost the book, I chased him out and witnessed him transform into a blood-colored bat in a fog and fly into the night." ”

"I was terrified. I immediately fled there, taking the book with me, and ran away. For a long time, I was running around in an inexplicable panic. Quinn said slowly.

Quinn breathed a sigh of relief and continued in a somewhat heavy tone: "That remote town, I got the news not long after, that all the people in the town died, at the hands of that vampire. ”

Bobilis's pupils widened, and a wave of anger welled up in his heart.
