Luca offered to stay in the library for a while, but before Director Werner could reply, Maester Conrad immediately said, "The library is not stocked with enough food to support so many of you!"

"Don't say that," the former Knight Lord Mores walked over and patted him affectionately on the shoulder, "I still know that the island's food and fresh water reserves are at least two years' worth, and Archon Taylor must have told him that the supply of the library must be the island's top priority." ”

Conrad grimaced and pulled his hand off his shoulder: "Mr. Mores, don't think that you can just take it upon yourself to study in the library for a few years, you can't be one of us." Moreover, the island's supplies are only provided to the local residents of Kita-Kaede Island, so you can't eat and drink as you please. ”

Mores was robbed, but he didn't care at all, but said with a smile: "That being said, but now that Archon Taylor is away, according to his orders, I have the power to control the share he has." That share, not to mention feeding a few of us, is enough for the soldiers of a regiment, right?"

"Then you can live in the town, or go to the government palace, as long as you can go in. Maester Conrad still refused to let go, "The library doesn't have extra manpower, and your supplies can't be transported up the mountain!"

"That's easy!" said Phil immediately, "Lind can bring all the supplies over by himself!"

"Lind can deliver!" the half-giant grinned, revealing a heartless smirk.

Werner laughed and said, "Conrad, stop being stubborn. It was safer for Captain Lester to stay in the library than to take the book to town. ”

The curator spoke, and Bachelor Conrad had no choice but to stand aside with a gloomy face.

"By the way, Captain Lester," said Director Werner, "there should be a name for this book, right? Could you at least translate the name for us so that we can update it into the catalogue?" ”

Lukka scratched his head, the cover of the book was only painted with a rough circle pattern, not a single word.

"It's called "The Impossible Circle". He said casually.

"You must be talking!" Conrad squinted at him.

"Do you think I'm not right?" Lukka raised an eyebrow.

No matter how reluctant Maester Conrad was to publicly disobey the director's orders, Lukka and the others settled down in a few rooms in the west wing of the library.

Phil found a large basket for Linde, and asked him to carry the daily necessities of the people he used up the mountain. Although the trail was steep and rugged, it was easier for Luca to climb the stairs in the library than at the foot of the half-giant.

Everyone also settled down and relaxed a little bit of the nerves that had been tense for the past few months.

The days passed, and for more than ten days, Lukka had read the book countless times, but he still hadn't figured out the way to arrange the giant magic circle.

The first difficulty is that the area of this circle is too large. Even the shortest line is three hundred kilometers long. To guide the flow of magic to draw a line, even if he rides a horse, he has to walk for two days, and in the process, he must always cast spells, even if his spirit can always concentrate, he still has to eat and drink Lazar, right?

Another difficulty is that on land, the mana flow of the circle can be attached to the ground, and as long as the terrain is too undulating and slightly adjusted, the mana flow can basically be guaranteed to be on a horizontal plane. Even if there is a slight deviation, it will not have much impact on the overall effect of the circle.

But now Lucca is in the Sunset Islands, and the largest island is only a few dozen square kilometers in area, and there is no land that can arrange a magic circle.

If the circle is placed on the sea, the size is not a problem, but the flow of magic has nowhere to be placed.

It is obviously not feasible to have the magic flow attached to the surface of the sea, and the sea water is not fixed in one place, but is constantly flowing with the sea breeze and currents. It's like drawing in water with ink, even if the ink doesn't blur, as soon as the sea water flows, the pattern will immediately deform.

"It's impossible!" Lukka closed his book, got up from his desk, and stretched.

Outside the window, it was completely dark, and the twelfth day in the library ended in the same hopelessness.

"We'll talk about it tomorrow. Lukka muttered to himself, he planned to wait until the Silent Death came to pick him up, and then he would get on the ship and return to Tata Island, whether he had figured it out or not. As for this book, if you borrow it for a while, Director Werner probably won't refuse.

He yawned and turned to go next door to wash up.

This room even has a separate bathroom, which Luca was pleasantly surprised when he first stayed. You must know that in the Sunset Islands, the people's hygiene habits are a little backward, and the bathroom with a bathtub is definitely the configuration of the most luxurious rooms.

Now the fresh water on North Kaede Island is also distributed according to the ration, and Luca can't wash it as he wants. But tonight was so hot that he decided to use up all his freshwater quota for the next three days.

Half an hour later, when Luca wiped the water from his hair with a towel and walked out of the bathroom, he didn't notice the difference in the room at first.

He wiped his face, shook the water from his ears, and walked around the room, only to find that there was nothing in the area illuminated by the oil lamp on his desk.

Lukka froze. He rummaged back and forth to make sure the book hadn't fallen to the floor or in the gap between the desk and the wall.

"How is this possible?" he cried out, his voice more surprised than panicked.

Ignoring the fact that everyone was about to fall asleep, Lukka ran into the hallway, knocked on every door, and called everyone else.

Curator Werner and Maester Conrad didn't live in the west wing of the building, and Lukka didn't run to the east to call people, so the only people standing in the room were the people he had brought with them.

"The book was stolen?" Ollie's eyes widened.

"It must be the bachelor," Thea said after a moment's thought, "if you want me to say, go directly to his room and search it!"

"Don't worry," Luca said with a leisurely expression, "Books won't be lost easily." You remember, this book, as long as anyone but me touches it, it will be bounced off by the magical energy on it, and if you desperately try to pick it up, you will probably be blown away. ”

He slowly sat down at the desk, frowned and said, "So I'm very curious, how did this book thief take it away silently?"

"No matter how you took it," Ollie stomped her foot anxiously, "you have to get it back first!
