The air around them seemed to freeze, and an invisible smell of gunpowder spread between the two of them.

Between the silence of the two, the Eagles in the vent almost stopped breathing, motionless, for fear that his movements and the sound of his breathing would alarm the two of them.

After a moment of silence and stalemate between Morey and Wright, suddenly, Morey pulled his cheek and smiled.

"Don't be nervous, my co-captain. ”

"It's just a joke. He lowered the handcuff and slung it back to his waist.

"Don't you think that in the silence of the night, there is a little bit of liveliness?"

Unfortunately, the person in front of Morey did not respond to his joke, but just stared at him, released the hilt of the sword at his waist, and stood up.

"Really? But I don't think it's funny. Wright turned away and pushed open the golden door, "Goodnight, then, my esteemed captain." ”

There was a thud on the ground, and the golden door closed again.

"Hmph, good night. ”

......

I don't know how long it had been since Iguez lay in the vent, and in the hazy darkness he always felt that there was still movement at the end of the vent, and he guessed that Captain Morey might still be in the captain's room, and he didn't know how long it would be before Morey left the room.

But then again, does the immortal body need sleep?

I'm afraid Iguez will never get an answer to this question.

About a moment later, just as Aguezes was about to fall asleep, he was awakened by the slightest movement.

Immediately, the door was pushed open with the sound of a bang.

The door closed again.

The pace of his heart beating grew faster, the tension drove away all his sleepiness, and Eagles began to move, crawling towards the end of the vent.

Suppressing his nervousness, he sped up a few minutes and crawled to the end with a faint light.

Finally, he saw the gentle light of the candle.

Eagles, who had climbed to the end, was somewhat surprised to find that the location of this vent was about behind Morey's weapon rack, and the wide cabinet-like weapon rack happened to block the vent.

It's no wonder that when Charlotte first came to this room, she didn't notice the existence of the vents.

In order not to alarm the guards outside the door, he slowed down his movements as much as possible, gently pushed open the weapon rack to just enough width for him to get out, and then crawled outside.

After looking around, it was as if I imagined that there was no one else.

Eagles breathed a sigh of relief, if someone else was there at this time, then he really had no return.

After stretching and cleaning up the dust that had fallen off his body, he began to look around the room.

The two-storey cylindrical study was surprisingly packed with thousands of books, with a black wooden desk about two meters long in the center and Morey's favorite handtool and giant scimitar hanging on the sides.

It's more apt to be a small library than a captain's room.

Of course, he wasn't here to read a book, but to make sure that the escape device really existed, as Charlotte said.

As far as the eye could see, all the bookshelves in this room were pinned to the wall, barely able to move. But Iguez clearly remembered the location marked on the blueprint, behind the central shelf.

(I'm afraid you have to activate the mechanism to move, is it hidden in these books?)

Glancing at the thousands of books on the shelves, Igus couldn't help but regret it.

This kind of headache should be handed over to that guy for a headache.

But since it's all here... No way...

(So, let's get started.) ）

......

The search was tedious, and he had to move each book and put it back in place, repeating it hundreds of times.

His arms were getting more and more sore, his movements were getting more and more stiff, and he was getting more and more tired, and just when he wanted to give up, he was suddenly stunned.

He noticed that there was a small rectangular hole in the back of the book, just the right size to fit a book.

Got it.

(Strange.) When he tried to take a random book and put it into the small hole, the book in his hand happened to be stuck outside the hole and could not be forced in.

(Could it be that a specific 'key' is needed?)

It would be almost impossible to find one of the thousands of books, because his biological clock told him that the sky was about to light up, and time did not allow him to do so.

However, the search criteria have shrunk a lot at the moment, and it shouldn't be too long.

After about half an hour, Eagles found a taupe notebook in the corner of a shelf.

This tawny notebook he had seen before, the same title that read 'The Song of Mermaid Tears', and it just so happened that the other one was now on Eagles himself.

Without saying a word, quickly turn the first page and read quickly.

(No, although the two books are similar in color and size, the content does not match) and he soon came to a conclusion.

The 'Song of Mermaid Tears' taken out of the bookshelf is recorded in the form of a diary, and compared to the fairy tale poetry on the body, it can almost be said that it is two books with different contents.

The book in his hand contains roughly the same content, but unfortunately at this moment, Iguezes does not have time to read it in detail.

He picked up the notebook he had stolen from the fourth deck and compared it to the one in his hand, the two books were almost identical in size.

The emaciated man took a deep breath, walked over to the small rectangular hole, and successfully put the stolen notebook into the hole.

Then...

Click, a crisp sound sounded.

It beat like a holy bell on his heart, beating violently.

......

"Ahh It's so tiring. One of the pirate guards guarding the golden gate yawned involuntarily.

"Speaking of spirits, if you are seen by the captain, you don't want to live. Another pirate immediately reminded his companion.

"What's the matter, it's almost dawn now, right?

"Hey, shut up, do you want to lose your life?"

"Ah, sorry, sorry. ”

At this moment, a sound of footsteps sounded from the distance of the red corridor.

A sturdy figure appeared in front of the two.

"Mo, Captain Morey, are you back so soon?" the guard looked respectful and surprised.

"Well, my instincts told me that something was going on inside, and some curiosity came back. ”

“... It's like the sound of a mouse..."After Morey uttered a meaningful sentence, he ignored the guards and pushed open the golden door.

The light of the candles was as gentle as ever, and thousands of books filled all the shelves, tables and chairs, weapon racks and weapons on the shelves, not the slightest difference from when they had left.

Like, no one has ever been here.
