Lamplight? Is there anyone else in the library at this time? Is it an administrator, or is it a ...... Colleagues who come here to "borrow" like me?

Abner was slightly surprised in his heart, he thought for a moment, then remained "invisible" and quietly leaned towards the light on the second floor.

He needed to figure out who was here, and when they were going to leave...... If the people in the library don't leave, then it's time to consider forcing them to sleep for the night.

However, he had only walked a few steps before he was forced to stop, because the position of the staircase was arranged with a lot of hidden warning runes.

Is it the extraordinary person who lights up the light on the second floor and reads a book? Abner frowned, his heart became more alert, carefully bypassing the traps that were "obvious" to him, and his body stepped onto the plank of the staircase as if it had no weight.

Who would have thought that as soon as he quietly ascended to the second floor, he heard a girl exclaim excitedly:

"Fanny, I found the ...... of the ruins."

Before she could finish her words, she stopped abruptly, as if someone had covered her mouth, and then a deep female voice sounded: "Be quiet, do you want to call the whole of Beckland University?" Also, don't call out my name. ”

"Don't worry, not only did I bury a lot of traps on the first floor, but I also arranged some small means around the two of us to confuse our senses, and the sound and light here are inaudible and invisible five meters away." The girl said triumphantly from earlier.

Hearing this, Abner carefully estimated the distance between himself and the two of them.

It's about 10 meters...... Is that girl talking about it?

No, it's because I'm special...... Well, I've been turning on the "Pure White Eyes", so her so-called little tricks didn't work at all, just like Detective Zerrell's "tricks" back then.

Thinking of this, Abner moved a little closer, and only stopped when he was almost within the so-called five-meter range.

The witch's "stealth" ability he simulated was not perfect, at least the inability to hide the shadow was a big flaw, so he didn't get too close.

However, at this distance, Abner could not only see the faces of the two girls clearly, but also barely make out the words on the books in their hands.

These two girls don't seem to be very old, the one named Fanny is about 20 years old, she has beautiful chestnut shoulder-length hair, and her facial features can only be described as very temperamental, but her figure is extremely good, and she can't even hide the loose black robe on her body.

The other, more lively girl looked about the same age as Abner, with long black hair hanging down to her waist, long, straight eyebrows, and extremely bright blue eyes, the corners of which were slightly hooked, as if she had been smiling playfully.

The book in their hands is old and old-fashioned, but from Abner's point of view, only a small part of it can be seen, as well as the title of the book, "St. Augustine, the City of Hope: The Battle of the Oath".

Before Abner could complain about the name, he heard the lady named Fanny ask in a very puzzled tone: "You are obviously a student at Beckland University, and you can come to the library to borrow books in the bright and bright during the day, why do you have to drag me to come secretly in the middle of the night?" ”

"I borrowed books during the day and there are records, which will inevitably leave traces, if someone follows this clue, won't I be exposed?" The girl with long black hair replied solemnly as she flipped through the books.

"This is what you learned when you were a 'scammer' before?" Ms. Fanny put down the book in her hand and deliberately teased.

"I wasn't so troublesome when I was a 'scammer', didn't those men all take the initiative to send me to cheat?" The girl reading the book said without looking up.

"That's why you ended up with a 'weird' evaluation...... Hehe, if it weren't for your family background, I'm afraid the label on your head would be even more ugly. Fanny stretched, then leaned on the table in front of her, laughing and quipping.

"Labeling...... I don't like what Russell the Great said, and I don't like people like him. I hope you use some more rune-style wording, thank you. The girl wrinkled her nose in displeasure, then spread the book in her hand on the table, pointed to a passage on it, and said to Fanny:

"You see, there is a detailed record of a baron who founded an estate there after the 'War of Oaths', but then a natural disaster caused a mudslide to flood the manor and the surrounding villages......"

"I'm originally from Intis, why use Rune-style wording?" Lady Fanny muttered something in a low voice, then leaned her head to look closely, pinched her chin and said, "So you think that the ruins I stumbled upon were left by this baron?" ”

"That's right, the military nobles of the 'War of Breaking Oaths' are most likely extraordinary! And because of the sudden arrival of the natural disaster, he must have had no time to take away the extraordinary items and other valuables he had collected, and they may still be in it. The girl's eyebrows fluttered, and she looked very excited.

"But it's also likely to be dangerous...... We don't know the baron's strength after all. Moreover, a natural disaster struck suddenly...... This statement is too dubious. Fanny said with a frown.

"Wouldn't it be better if there was danger, or even mystery? As a 'decryption scholar', if it's really just an ordinary person's house, it would be disappointing. "And, you see, here it is a brief account of the battles in which the baron has participated...... But have you noticed? His opponents all seem to be arrogant. People of low minds! ”

"You mean ...... 'bribe-taker'?" Lady Fanny's eyes lit up with joy.

"That's right, maybe the 'Barbarian' formula you need will fall on this expedition." The girl who calls herself a decryption scholar said with a smile.

"I'm going to prepare now." Fanny stood up suddenly, looking very urgent.

"Don't be in such a hurry, the ruins haven't been discovered yet...... And, you know, it's not easy for me to go out, even if it's boarding in a university dormitory...... Well, you have to find a good reason. The black, long-haired girl grabbed her companion, who seemed to want to leave immediately, and said helplessly.

Finding the information they needed, the two girls didn't stop long, picked up the book they had found, St. Augustine, the City of Hope: The Battle of the Oath, and quickly left the library.

The long-haired black girl who called herself the "Decryption Scholar" cleared the rune traps she had set up when she went down to the first floor.

And they didn't notice Abner who was watching from the sidelines. ，

A "decryption scholar" and a "lawyer"?

And the "lawyer" named Fanny felt very familiar to me, very much like the "craftsman agent" lady at the teacher's party.

I don't know where they found the ruins......

After thinking about it for a while, Abner put the matter behind him and began to look up information about the Lamb family in the library.

Although he was actually quite interested in the ruins in the mouths of the two girls, first, they did not tell the location of the ruins, and secondly, he had something to do, but he did not have the time to track down the identities of the two girls, so he had to give up.

……

City of Tingen, Black Thorn Security.

Dunn Smith sat in his office, sipping his coffee and looking down at his papers.

It was late at night, and at this moment, except for Leonard, who was on duty at Chanis Gate, he was the only one in the company who was still working with the lights on.

At this moment, Dunn's dark gray eyes widened suddenly, and the documents in his hand fell to the ground...... Because he felt a body full of heat hug him from behind.

And the smell of the aroma in his nose also allowed him to identify who the person behind him was.

A moment later, Leonard, who was outside Chanis' door, wrinkled, and he seemed to hear something small.

Just as he hesitated to ring the bell, an old voice sounded in his ears:

"I advise you not to do much."
