With a dull sound, a heavy door slowly opened.
"Alright, this is our library. Cohen, who started the way, said.
Subsequently, Nuo Xiaoyi, who was beside Jue, walked forward with a lamp and took on the role of lighting.
Unlike the Dragon Clan's Scripture Pavilion, which relies on huge spells to operate, the library of the Southern Kingdom is a simple Terran building, and there is no appearance of incorporating spells.
The library is built beneath the surface, and as the floors descend, the secrets of its books become more and more confidential. The only way to get from the ground to the depths of the ground is a staircase that spirals down against the walls of the stacks.
Originally, outsiders were not allowed to enter this place at will, but Cohen was convinced that Jue was an unfathomable guy, so he would definitely be able to bring Ban Nanguo back on track, so Cohen brought Jue here.
Cohen trusts Jue.
"What kind of books do you want?" Cohen asked.
"Hmm...... It's about history. Jue said, and then he glanced at Nuo Xiaoyi.
The walls of this library have a spell loop that blocks information, which means that even if someone here tries to send a message to the outside, no one outside can receive it. Therefore, if Nuo Xiaoyi has sent information to the outside and leaks secrets, it will be in vain.
Just as a few people were about to go down the stairs, Jue grabbed Nuo Xiaoyi.
"You go back first. β
Nuo Xiaoyi was stunned for a moment, then nodded silently and left along the fence at the edge of the stairs.
Jue kept an eye on the departing Nuo Xiaoyi's every move, in case she had any moves that were unfavorable to Jue's plan.
Now for Jue, the auxiliary political officer is already an uncertain existence, and the maid he sent should be even more careful. Although it cannot be ruled out that Nuo Xiaoyi is just an inconsequential person, it is indispensable to guard against others.
Nuo Xiaoyi walked with a lamp. Maybe it was because the light was not very strong, which caused Nuo Xiaoyi to fall.
"Are you alright?" Jue shouted at the top of the stairs. Although Jue and Cohen were not holding lighting objects, Jue's strong night vision and super vision allowed him to see Nuo Xiaoyi's state in the distance.
"It's okay......" Nuo Xiaoyi said and stood up from the ground.
Well?!
From the ground came the sound of something falling to the ground. Although the voice was small, it couldn't escape Jue's ears.
"Did you drop something?" Jue asked.
After hearing this, Nuo Xiaoyi patted her on the body, and then said, "Yes, the hair ornament on my head is missing." β
Jue glanced into the depths of the library.
"Understood, I'll help you pick up the hair ornament, so you can go back first. β
Thank you so much. Nuo Xiaoyi bowed in the direction where Jue's voice came from and left.
Jue slapped Cohen, who was beside him, and then used a spell to summon a few balls of light.
"Let's go. β
Jue and Cohen walked to the underground library.
The first thing I did when I arrived at the library was to look for the hair ornament that Nuo Xiaoyi had lost. For Jue, Nuo Xiaoyi's hair ornament cannot be ruled out as a certain magic weapon.
"Found it. Jue walked to the trim of Nuo Xiaoyi's hair and picked it up. Although he didn't see the existence of a spell circuit through the Elven Eye, Jue could still feel the flow of energy inside.
Mimicry β bats. Jue uses mimicry to change the structure of the organs in his body.
Then, Jue used the changed vocal cords to send ultrasound waves to Nuo Xiaoyi's hair ornament, and Jue discovered the structure in the hair ornament.
"What are you doing?" asked Cohen, who didn't know why, but stopped asking after being warned by Jue's "shh
Sure enough, there is no hole in it! Jue used the reflected sound waves to deduce what was hidden in the hair ornament.
...... It's not like a magic weapon......
Jue judged so. He found that there were large irregular cavities in the hair ornament, and there were many small objects of different shapes in the cavities, which were completely different from the single spell circuit inside the magic weapon.
But what Ling Jue cares about is the composition of the materials inside.
Haven't seen the material...... Like ...... No, this thing is more like a refinement of sand, and it's plate-like...... What is attached to it is...... Copper, iron, and some gold and silver...... I haven't seen anything about the material wrapped in gold and silver...... Ahh
Just in case, Jue still applied a spell on it to block the communication of spells.
"Okay?" Cohen asked when he saw Jue standing up.
"Sort of. Jue put the hair ornament in his pocket.
The two began to search through the bookshelves.
"That's enough. Cohen took the heavy book down. I can't believe that someone like Cohen, who seems to be empty, can carry such a heavy book.
"Well, almost. Jue casually picked up a book from the book mountain and read it.
Cohen looked around.
"This place is so hidden. β
"Huh, it doesn't sound like you've been here. β
"No, I've been here to deal with things somewhat. But I still have to sigh at the seclusion here...... If you imprison someone or something......" Cohen said in a strange tone, looking around.
"You can't be thinking of something bad, do you? Your eyes look like a horny pervert. Jue glanced at Cohen.
"Ah, nothing. Somewhat lost, you put the only woman back. Cohen said.
"Nuo Xiaoyi, declare in advance that she has a man and a woman. Jue was speechless at Cohen.
"Wouldn't that be better?...... How do you know she has a husband?" Cohen made a perverted speech before asking Jue.
β...... Guess. β
"Hey, there should be a basis for guessing. β
Jue reluctantly put down the book, and then said: "She does not have the smell of a pure person, and I can be sure that she has the experience of giving birth, at least the mother of a child." β
"By the smell?!I feel like you're more perverted. β
"You're really 50 steps and 100 steps. Jue shook his head.
Cohen looked at the pearl of the night hanging above the library, and asked, "Nuo Xiaoyi...... Is it the wife of an adjudicator?"
"I don't know," Jue looked at the book and said, "She does smell of a man, although it is the same person, but I can't be sure if it is an auxiliary political officer, after all, I haven't seen him." β
"Yes, you didn't sniff on the auxiliary officer. Cohen teased, "I didn't expect that Nuo Xiaoyi was so young that she was already a mother." β
"There are so many things I can't think of in this world. Nuo Xiaoyi's matter will stop here first, I advise you not to have any thoughts about others in the future. β
"What's the matter? Coloreater, too, I don't think there's anything wrong with me doing this. β
"Yes, I admit it. But I'm tired of **, that's all. Jue changed to a book as he spoke.
For Jue, even when talking to others, he can read books with high quality at a glance and ten lines.
"But it's annoying, you actually have something to do with Ouyang Taxue, right?" Cohen turned the finger to Jue and Ouyang Taxue again.
"Master-servant relationship, that's all. Jue said.
Cohen touched Jue lightly with his elbow, and then said, "It's all men, don't pretend." You're a Terran, right? So the charm of a Terran woman is greater than that of a royal woman. β
"You're right, but I can't agree with that. Jue said.
Cohen looked at Jue with a wicked smile, "How is it?"
"Please don't define me as a beast in your heart, thank you. Jue said in a dry tone.
"Ouyang Taxue is really a waste for you, what's the matter, don't you think about selling it to me?" Cohen said, "Although money is not considered money now, but currency is in circulation in the Three Realms, so you can take this money to other places, right?
"Makes sense. Jue changed another book. In the conversation just now, Jue had already read most of the books he brought.
"How much are you going to give?" Jue asked.
"Oh, so there's room for negotiation?"
"I was going to give it to you, but after thinking about it, I felt a little bit at a loss, so I decided to ask for a price. Jue put down the book, "But Ouyang Taxue is still quite useful to me now, so I will buy it for you after I finish using her." β
"Then you have to be careful not to get her hurt. Cohen smiled.
It's really obscene.
Jue thought as he looked at Cohen's smile.
"I'm curious why you're so fascinated by Ouyang Taxue. β
"You know better than I do if you're a man. Not only me, but also many nobles plan to buy Ouyang Taxue from you, she used to be a member of the Ouyang family, everyone was vying for this marriage contract, and now she is a slave ......"
"Beauty is a sin in all times. Jue looked around at the book mountain around him, "For the human race, everything beautiful wants to be possessed...... Hmph, even the dwarves or orcs of the same low-level race are not as mad as the human race. β
Cohen took a crystal-like stone out of his pocket and threw it on the ground to shatter it.
Jue watched Cohen's actions.
"It's a spell that blocks out sounds, and the sounds in this realm don't reach the outside world...... You've just read all the books, so you should have come to a conclusion. Cohen said.
"Auxiliary Officer, it's fake. Jue said, "The death of the king of Bannan is inseparable from the auxiliary political officer. β
"When I first learned about the Auxiliary, I was curious about what kind of weird joke it was. It wasn't until later that people began to recognize the auxiliary minister, and even regarded him as a pre-existing official position, that I had a bad premonition. I once thought that something was wrong with my head, but after I kept looking through the materials, I realized that I was not wrong, and the treasure of memory for a thousand years was not wrong, so I thought that this matter must have something to do with the auxiliary magistrate! But I have no evidence, and I lack allies, and I can't compete with those family members alone. I've been waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity for an ally to appear.
The auxiliary officer's eyeliner has always been in the southern country, and he knows everything. There's no way I can call you to a secret place where no one is around, because then the auxiliary will know all this. But today you asked for the library yourself, so I've finally found a chance to talk to you!"
Cohen approached Jue, "What do you think we should do next?"
Jue stood up, and then said, "There are two questions I want to ask you. β
Say. β
"Do you think that whose army will be loyal to us? β
β...... The Guards, which used to be the army directly under Mo Qing, were responsible for the king's security. At the same time, they were also doubting the legitimacy of the auxiliary officials, but due to Mo Qing's incident, they were all locked up and confined until Mo Qing was executed and a new captain of the guards was appointed. β
"Second question, who do you think would be better able to lead that army?"
Cohen looked at Jue seriously, "It's almost impossible to prove Mo Qing's innocence. β
"Then find a way to deal with the state while there is still time to deal with it. And it doesn't have to be the Guards. β
"Do you mean using the armies of the nobility?"
"The Guards without any political affiliation are the best option, but you can't ignore the way back. Jue looked at Cohen, his eyes were deep and dark, and it was difficult to perceive.
Cohen looked at Jue and asked, "What if the end result is failure?"
Jue looked at Cohen, and his blood-colored eyes became sharp and violent.
"Then kill all the rebels, not a single one, even if it is a spell tampered with with memory, to put all the transcendents on our side, and then use their power to overthrow the entire country......! All rebels deserve to die......"
Cohen couldn't help but shudder when he heard Jue's calm tone.
"If you were a monarch, you would be an unqualified tyrant, but at the same time an incompetent king. β
Jue looked at Cohen and smiled, "For me, dictatorship is the best way to dominate others. β
"Then the auxiliary magistrate will not care for now?"
"That idiot said he would listen to us, so let's get him out of this stage first. What we have to do now is to slowly develop our forces...... How much property do you have?"
"Hire mercenaries, but that would disrupt the country. β
Cohen guessed Jue's intentions the moment Jue inquired about his personal property.
"It's okay, as long as we're alive, even if Bannanguo turns into a scorched earth, we can rebuild it!"
"If I had seen you earlier, I would have followed you. Cohen looked at Jue and said.
Instead, Jue looked at Cohen for a while, and then said, "What kind of stupid thing does an old thing over a thousand years old say?" β
After listening to Jue's words, Cohen was stunned for a moment, and then said as if he had lost: "Did you see it?"
"Don't try to hide it from my eyes, I know that you have been using the Returning Child Pill to extend your life...... You've existed since the founding of the country, right?"
Cohen slowly stood up, and he said slowly: "Someone needs to stay to witness all this, to witness the rise and fall of a country, this is a must, and it is said that this is the best way to ensure the prosperity of a country." He looked at Jue, "Did you know that many powerful countries in history have had a guardian, and people call him 'Protector'. He existed at the birth of the nation, led the people out of trouble when it was in crisis, and came out to cleanse the country with violence when it became muddy......"
Jue was staring at Cohen at this time, his eyes fixed on Cohen.
"Why do you say that every recorded protector is described as a silver-haired and blood-eyed man? He was the center of the nation at the birth of the nation but did not claim the title of king, he suddenly appeared when the nation was in danger, and when the nation was degenerate, he led the army in a different mask to purge ......"
"What an interesting legend. Jue gently pushed away Cohen, who was standing in front of him, and then walked up the stairs, "But this is just superstition, the prosperity of a country depends on the interior of the country." β
Cohen smiled slightly, "It's the same......"
But......
Jue didn't understand a little.
What kind of power can brainwash the people of a country at the same time and not under the conditions of the use of spells? What kind of trick is this?
At this time, somewhere in the palace -
"Oh~ It's Takashi, have you already guessed what the problem is? So, I can't sit still...... Bring me my stuff. β
"Understood. A woman's voice came from the corner of the house.
She pulled out what looked like a helmet and placed it on the table.
"Psychic Interference Radio Wave Emitterβthe one that ransacked the world sixty years ago, the most tragic world war since the Space Age, was waged by this thing at the will of one man...... I didn't expect to be a regular user of this stuff today......"
