Chapter 120: What Books Do You Usually Read?
This is a very young paladin, childish, with a little fur on the corners of his mouth, and a pair of dark blue eyes, which is estimated to charm many girls when placed outside, it is said that those noble ladies of the free city-states are especially fond of this type, but the future super mage does not seem to have any intention of pity, moved a stool and placed it in front of the captive, and then took out a dagger from his bag.
The latter's eyes were calm when he saw the dagger, and there was no look of horror on his face, and when the strip of cloth in his mouth was taken out, he just snorted coldly, puffed up his chest, looked into someone's eyes and said without fear, "The gods will punish you degenerates." After saying this, he closed his mouth and said no more, but the gaze that looked at someone was full of provocation.
Unmoved, Rob took another apple out of his bag, sat down on a chair, and peeled the skin unhurriedly with a dagger.
The young paladin's expression became a little dazed, not knowing what the other party meant.
Tonight he was woken up by the sound of snoring in the next bed, and after that he could not sleep again, he opened the door to the hallway, and wanted to take a walk outside and take a few breaths of fresh air, but he saw a suspicious figure there, but before he could open his mouth, he was hit by something in the back of the head, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already in this place.
careless, the young paladin was a little annoyed in his heart, he only noticed the guy not far away, but he didn't expect that the other party's companion had quietly touched his back, the strength of the sneak attacker was indeed good, but he was not without resistance at all, the main reason was that he was too careless.
Since the tower was built, no one had been able to break through the seven floors below, so when he saw the guy in the corridor, he didn't feel alert at the first time, and more stayed in the stage of doubt, completely unaware that someone would attack him immediately.
However, among the men and women standing in front of him at this moment, there did not seem to be the suspicious figures he had seen in the corridor before.
"Pop, are you curious about who the two of us are?" said the future Ultra Magister as he gnawed on an apple, the other party's name he had just seen from his identity card.
The paladin named Pop was silent, but his eyes had betrayed his thoughts, and he was now secretly guessing the identities of the two.
"Don't guess, we've only been here for a while, but we're not prisoners of Ogreench. Rob's words made Lolo's heart rise to his throat, and he thought he was going to reveal the details of the two of them, but then he heard someone continue, "We are actually Archbishop Motellis's people." ”
Pope let out a sneer, but finally spoke, "Are you fools to me?"
Rob's expression remained unchanged, and he took a bite of the apple and said leisurely, "Half a month ago, the warden of Clowell found that the safe path to the tower seemed to have leaked, so he wrote to Archbishop Mortellis and asked him to send someone to investigate. ”
"So you snuck in like thieves and attacked me, and tied me up......? No one would believe such nonsense. ”
"We did sneak in, but the reason why we did this is to facilitate the investigation, and the leak of the safe path shows that there are ghosts among you, which is why the Clowell Warden wrote to Archbishop Mortellis asking for help, in other words, no one in this tower can trust us except the Clovwell Warden now. The future Ultra Magister spread his hands, "We need you to help with the investigation, but we can only tie you up before you can prove yourself, by the way, the person who attacked you is not us, but an organization called Nightingale, their leader is called Sax, and there is a guy named Ghost who is operating with him tonight, and we have been chasing them before." ”
As Ogreen's jailer, Pope naturally knew the great power of Nightingale, and when someone said this, he also recalled the dark shadow he saw in the corridor before, which was indeed very similar to the leader of Nightingale, Saxophone, with a longbow behind him, and the person who attacked him behind him was very likely to be the guy called Ghost.
But even to this extent, Pop still couldn't believe Rob's previous rhetoric, shook his head, and said, "Even if the person who attacked me is a nightingale, he still can't prove your identity, how do I know that you are not in league with them." ”
"Well, I can understand your suspicions. Rob got up, Pop thought that the other party had given up communication with him, but he didn't expect the former to walk to a row of bookshelves, and the future Lord of the Ultra Magister asked the young paladin, "What books are you usually reading?"
The latter was a little inexplicable when he heard this, but after hesitating for a moment, he still said truthfully, "I just finished reading "The Legend of the Twelve Sages" two days ago. ”
The book has always been very popular with young clergy, especially paladins, in the temple, because the Tale of the Twelve Sages tells the story of the twelve most famous paladins in the history of the Church, and because it was written a hundred years ago, it is not obscure to read, as it seems.
Rob found the book from the bookshelf and held it to Pope, "Say whatever." ”
"What do you mean?"
"You pick the number of pages, and I can tell you what this page is about. His Excellency the future Ultra Magister said lightly.
"Are you telling you really?" Pop was skeptical, flipping a page to get the general idea, even the most devout believer wouldn't be able to do that.
However, the next moment, when he casually reported a number with suspicion, the other party really told him a little story about a certain saint, and then Rob opened the book of "The Biography of the Twelve Saints", turned to the page that Popper said, and put it in front of him, and the latter was completely shocked, because he found that the story told by someone was really exactly the same as the content on this page.
The young paladin gasped, but after all, the story of "The Legend of the Twelve Sages" was relatively widespread, and for the sake of caution, he asked for a change to the very unpopular "Shadow Codex", but the result was the same.
This time Pop was really shocked, he already had seven points of faith in someone's identity, because he didn't think that outsiders or ordinary believers could recite a relatively obscure book to such an extent, and the other party had obviously invested a lot of energy in these classics.
So the young paladin couldn't help but start to waver, maybe the two people in front of him were really the people of Archbishop Motellis?
Lolo's eyes were compassionate, poor child, you don't know what kind of monster is standing in front of you, Rob's terrifying memory she had already learned once before in Raphael's library, in all fairness, if she and Pope were to exchange now, she would not believe that there really was a guy in this world who could remember everything by flipping through it casually.
