Caterina stared at the entire room of documents, the storage room of Karin Castle was not small, comparable to the living room in the castle, but now the room was full of document shelves, and even the space left for people to walk was very limited. And these document shelves are also full of files, leaving no gaps.

"No, didn't you say that only some of them were transferred here, why, how could there be so many?" Caterina felt a big head when she looked at the files in this room, it had taken her days to process her desk of files alone, and the number of files in this room now, not to mention whether she could read them all, I am afraid that whether she could find the records from seven years ago would be a big problem.

"The number of archives in the Thirteenth Section is much higher than in other departments, because it is an institution that has been set up since the time of Astrad I, in other words, many records from that era are still preserved to this day, and cannot be cleaned up as obsolete archives. ”

Sven crossed his arms and leaned against the door, seemingly unfazed by the sheer amount of documents.

"Why?" said Caterina, turning her head to Swain, "Is it necessary to keep anything from the last era? ”

"There are two reasons for this. Swain raised his hand and stretched out his index finger, "First, many of the contents of the archival records are still valid, and the special nature of the Thirteen Lessons is destined to have an up-to-date content that surpasses the life span of most people, because some of the things that have been recorded can indeed continue from the time of Astrad I and even earlier. ”

Caterina was a little stunned, she thought of Manfred, if it was the kind of monster that could survive an era, then the archives about them really needed to be kept for so long, and even the life of the paper might not be as long as the time they had gone through.

"Second," Swain's middle finger straightened up, "The files of the thirteen divisions are all top secrets that cannot be leaked, unlike the confidential documents of other departments, the existence of the work content of the thirteen divisions is not to be made public, although some secret plans of other departments can be made public after decades, but the thirteen divisions are not, this department must keep secrets forever." So even if some of the archives are no longer useful, we still need to archive them to avoid leakage. ”

"Wouldn't it be better to destroy it directly?" Caterina frowned, a little unsure of what Swain meant, "If you keep it, there will be more possibility of leakage, right?"

Swain shook his head, and Caterina seemed to see a mockery in his eyes again.

"Even destruction is not as high as the secrecy of archives, which is a principle agreed upon by government agencies: no one should try to find anything that belongs to the archive. ”

Caterina was stunned. "Why?"

"You can try it yourself. ”

Swain pointed to the shelves and made a "please" gesture.

Caterina seemed to understand what Swain meant, she sighed, and said in a slightly teasing tone: "It seems that you are familiar with the work very quickly, you have only been in office for a few days, and you are already completely in the style of the director of the thirteenth section." ”

Swain looked at Caterina calmly and didn't answer.

In the face of Sven's silence, Caterina was even more troubled, and it was tiring to find the one from seven years ago in so many files. "Don't you have a classification, after all, there are a lot of useful documents in it, right?"

"Thirteen Classes don't have this kind of talent, because in the past few hundred years, Manfred has managed these files very well, and successive directors of Hecate have never thought of finding a special administrator for these archives - and the staff employed by the Department of Thirteen Classes have always hired people from specific families, and they can't find ordinary people to manage them. ”

Sven walked into Wen Hai and casually flipped through the files on the shelves.

"What then?" Looking at so many files, and finding the one she wanted, Caterina couldn't help but feel her scalp tingle, "Can I only look at them one by one?"

"Actually, you don't have to, it's a hassle, but there are a few tricks. Swanswin took out a file, glanced at the recorded time, and then put it back on the shelf, "The collection of books in Fort Midnight is dozens of times larger than here, so how to organize books and copywriting is a skill that every Jericho has to learn." After the transfer of these files, I have made preliminary marks according to the confidential text, which you can find by comparing the time and the mark. Of course, the sorting here is not based on time and years, this is the habit of the thirteen lessons, and they like to sort the archives by category. But as long as you figure out the category, you can still look by age. ”

"Category?"

"I guess it's better not to explain this to you. Swain slowly searched between the bookshelves, "You don't have much time, and if you want to explain this, you probably won't be able to find what you're looking for." ”

Sven rummaged through the file shelves for a moment, then pulled out a thin book and walked back to Katerina. "This is a record of the meaning of those symbols, I hope it will be helpful to you. ”

Caterina took the book and looked at Swain in surprise. "Found so quickly in so many files, it seems that you are doing a very efficient job, so why not do me a favor and find the file from seven years ago?"

Swain raised his right hand and held out his index finger in front of Katerina's eyebrows.

This action made Princess Celestia inexplicably uncomfortable.

"I have not said that I will participate in the investigation of this matter, and I am not familiar with Mr. Pesa, so I am not obligated to help with this. And you should understand that my position is not suitable for getting involved in too many things?"

Caterina couldn't help but sneer. "Are you still involved in less business?"

Swain didn't reply, just made another "please" gesture.

Walking into the sea of texts and realizing how many documents there were, Katerina's brows furrowed even tighter.

"If you don't mind," Swain stood in the doorway, bowing slightly, "I still have some business to attend to, so I'll be out of company." ”

"Alright, alright!" Caterina irritably pulled a file from the shelf, "I'm not in a position to dictate your work, am I?

Sven bowed slightly, then left the room, closing the door with him.

Caterina opened the file bag in her hand, and as soon as she saw the time on it, she had a black line.

"It's actually a record of the time of Teudmund I...... Is this kind of thing still preserved?" Reluctantly putting down the file, Caterina couldn't help but complain about Sven, "Stinky Swain, don't you know how to help me find it! ”

Grumbling, Caterina reached for another file, and as she reached out, she suddenly noticed a problem.

"No, that's not right! Swain has never been a considerate person, he could have refused to let me in today to look for files, he would definitely do this kind of thing! Why, why did he let me in, and then put me aside, and kept not involved in this matter? If he really didn't want to have anything to do with the Alans family, it was the best choice to reject me directly, why the hell ......"

Caterina thought, feeling more and more suspicious of Sven's behavior.

"He walked in and found what he was looking for in a few clicks...... With his skills, he may actually know the file layout here, but he deliberately said that so in order to prevent me from immediately finding the file from seven years ago. Why, why did he do it? Did he know something, or did he say ......?"

Caterina followed her memories and went to the place where Swain had pulled out the book and opened a file on a shelf. "122 years of the Iron Age, January 13th......"

She immediately closed the file, then looked at the file shelf, where there was a small gap one layer below the one she had just pulled out. Caterina pushed the files on both sides, and then tried to stuff the one in her hand into it, and the space was about the same.

"Swain......" Caterina turned her gaze and looked in the direction Swain left, "what the hell are you hiding, and why are you doing this?"

————————————

In the hallway outside the room, Sven rounded the corner of the hallway, and after making sure that no one was around, he stopped and lifted the magic from his hand.

A file bag, impressively in his hands.

"On April 17, 121 A.D., a magical test was conducted on the murder of Lady Pesa, and the results ......" Swain turned the page, his eyes narrowed, "There are no traces of magic remaining, and it can be concluded that there is no sign of magic's involvement." ”

"Am I too distracted?" Swain closed the file and put it back in his bag, "It's best if it's not a mess...... Let's put this thing back first, lest she complain again. ”

Sven turned, and walked back towards the storage room. He really didn't want to get involved in the affairs of Alans, why the Pesa family was attacked seven years ago had nothing to do with him, he wouldn't care about these irrelevant matters. However, Sven is a very controlling person, he will never allow anything to go beyond his control, if it was Alans who came to him for help before, it would be good to ignore it, but now that even the eldest princess is involved, if she wants to find the truth, Sven has to be on guard, in case Caterina sees something that will cause more trouble, then it will bring more variables to his plan.

Like today's sudden arrival of Katerina.

Walking to the door, Swain stopped again, he didn't want Caterina to find out, so he was going to use his magic to probe the situation inside, at least to make sure that Princess Celestia wasn't looking at the door.

And when Sven's magic extended beyond his body and began to scan the room, Sven's eyes shrank suddenly—he sensed the remnants of another magic.

Without knowing what was going on with Katerina, Swain immediately pushed open the door and broke into the room.

It's still a room full of files, but the eldest princess inside is gone.

With a gloomy face, Sven walked over to the place where he had quietly taken the files from seven years ago, where a few documents were scattered on the ground, and even the files on the shelves looked a little messy and untidy.

"It's actually right under my nose......" Sven's eyes couldn't help but jump, "That's bold!"

Closing his eyes, the magic power continued to spread from Sven's body, although Sven's magic perception was very weak, but his huge magic power could completely make up for this, as long as Sven released enough magic power, he could completely spread his magic perception several kilometers away.

The end of the magic power looked out along the remaining traces of magic in the room, and at the same time, Sven also began to deeply perceive the breath of this magic power, and the remaining traces of magic in the room made him feel a little familiar, very much like a person who had fought with him, but there was something faintly wrong.

The eyes opened abruptly, and there was still silence in the black pupils.

"No one can escape from my palm!"
