Chapter 32: Secret Conversations (I) José

José silently covered Rong Ruo with the quilt she had kicked off, then found a path from the personal belongings she had thrown to the ground, and left the room without making a sound.

Thirteen years ago, Dan Merson had disappeared from the capital for a period of time before taking over the position of Grand Elder of Valhalla from the previous Great Elder, and only a few people within the Hegu family knew about it, and when he returned, he brought back a baby girl who was still in swaddling clothes, and declared to the family that he would adopt the girl, Dan Merson had a wife in his early years, but unfortunately died of illness while stationed with him in the Black Castle when he was young, and after that Dan Merson did not remarry, and he did not leave any children between him and Jose's unknown wife, in shortDan Merson's decision to adopt this baby girl caused an uproar within the Hegu family, but due to Dan Merson's status in the family, no one was qualified to stop him, so the girl was named Hegu Rongruo by Dan Merson.

Dan Merson's behavior once led some people to think that Rong Ruo was Dan Merson's illegitimate daughter, but as Rong Ruo grew up, this statement was self-defeating, Rong Ruo's pupils were crimson instead of blue, and her hair was also fiery red instead of the dark gold and flax common to the Hegu family, in short, there was no trace of the Hegu family from Rong Ruo.

All the members of the Council of Elders, the decision-making level of Valhalla, are located in the Capital Grand Sanctuary, and the center of the agents at all levels of Valhalla's executive force is in the Elven River Grand Sanctuary of Valhalla, and the agents can only go directly to the capital under special circumstances, otherwise they need to go through complicated and cumbersome procedures. This is Valhalla's centuries-old tradition, Dan Merson told Jose that this is also one of the most important traditions of Valhalla, Valhalla is the last barrier to maintain the security of the empire, while preventing the empire from falling into chaos due to accidents caused by spellcasters, Valhalla is also the organization that gathers the most spellcasters in the empire, so Valhalla must not be given any chance to go wrong, and Valhalla's decision-making and execution levels must be separated.

For this reason, Jose rarely saw Rong Ruo after becoming an agent, until two years ago, Rong Ruo became the youngest low-level agent at Valhalla over the years, and Dan Merson arranged for her to be Jose's first partner after becoming a special agent.

Rong Ruo has studied with Dan Merson since she was a child, so she has always called Jose her senior brother, in the matter of learning magic, Rong Ruo seems to be extremely talented, the same magic, Jose needed dozens or even hundreds of times of training back then, Rong Ruo only needs two times to be at her fingertips, Jose can be sure that Rong Ruo becomes a great sage like Dan Merson and even better It is only a matter of time, she only needs to work harder in her studies.

This is also why Rong Ruo was able to become a low-level agent of Valhalla at such a young age, she is really a genius, but it is limited to magic, and in terms of living habits, Jose can't give Rong Ruo too high a rating.

Valhalla's structure is that only senior agents can take on some simple tasks independently, and those large cases can only be handled by special agents, junior agents who have just passed the examination are usually assigned to a sanctuary under Valhalla and then assist the local police to maintain local law and order, but there are also a small number of people who can be selected by a special agent as an assistant to partner with him to participate in some large cases from the beginning. Rong Ruo is José's assistant, just as Jose was Gulen Kocchi's assistant when he first became a junior agent.

After coming to the Elven River, after only one night in the group dormitory of Valhalla, Rong Ruo dragged his luggage and moved into Jose's Valhalla apartment assigned to the special agent, and his partner chose to live with him, Jose didn't feel anything wrong, so he didn't object to Rong Ruo's approach, but when Rong Ruo moved in, Jose had to clean two or three more times a day, about double the clothes and sheets to be washed, and also need to make an extra one when cooking, these are not a problem for Jose, the only thing that makes him a little unaccustomed is that Rong Ruo is not a person who can calm down, since she moved in, Jose's once regular habits of life have been completely disrupted.

In addition, Rong Ruo often buys some things that Jose thinks are useless, such as some potions that will make people green, boxes that will eat people, etc., about the middle of each month, she will spend her salary, and then she will borrow money from Jose to spend the rest of the days, Jose once asked her to repay the money after she paid her salary, and the result was that Rong Ruo cried so much that her brother bullied her, and at that time, the whole office looked at Jose with the eyes of a bad person, in fact, Jose didn't care about other people's eyes, he just didn't know how to deal with a little girl who was crying, he felt that he hadn't done anything wrong, but Rong Ruo and the people around him behaved like he had made some big mistake, Ye Duyu said to him before he died that there is not only right and wrong in this world, and Jose didn't know if it meant this situation.

So in the end, Jose gave up his plan to let Rong Ruo repay the money, he didn't know if it was right to do so, and in addition, Rong Ruo still needed to borrow money from him every month to survive.

Another thing, Rong Ruo caught a cold last month because she didn't cover the quilt properly, and she had a severe cold for two weeks, and Jose didn't finish a lot of work on time in order to take care of her, and in order to make sure that this situation wouldn't happen again, Jose would go to check every night if she had covered the quilt properly.

Dan Merson said to Jose that although Rong Ruo seems to be just a crazy girl, he may learn something from Rong Ruo that will help him, Jose doesn't know if he has learned anything from Rong Ruo, but these days with Rong Ruo have indeed made him change a little, he is still the same Jose, he will not lie, but he can choose not to tell Rong Ruo when he is doing something, such as tonight.

He received a letter signed by Maruzat, who wanted him to go to the Elven River Library alone to meet with him, and Jose judged that if he told Rong Ruo, she would definitely be arguing to go with him, so he didn't tell Rong Ruo that he was going out at night.

There are three special classes of professions in this world, which are prophets, ancient masters, and sages.

As the name suggests, a prophet refers to those who can foresee the future, a fallen leaf in the eyes of ordinary people may be a fragment of the future in their eyes, different prophets have different ways of foresight, and the results of foresight are not the same, the Tao in the Zen Dao Ming, Vlamy is a prophet, it is said that he can foresee anything that will happen within 10 minutes of his side, the most famous prophet of the empire now is Ye Zhiqiu, and he should be called the person who sees the farthest in the empire now.

The opposite of the prophet is the ancient master, they have a completely different talent, they can read the memories they need from the unspeakable things such as mountains, rocks and trees, different ancient teachers read in different ways, and the time limit for the memories that can be read is also different, Hedon, who died in Shiva Town two years ago, is an ancient teacher, but Jose does not know how strong Hedong is as an ancient teacher.

Unlike prophets and ancient masters, sages are the only profession among the three that does not rely on talent, a person can be called a sage must have vast knowledge and great wisdom, all sages must have their own unique talents in some way, almost all sages are excellent spellcasters, have their own unique views on magic, in a sense, as long as they have enough time to accumulate, anyone can become a sage.

Only when a person gathers these three identities in one can he have the opportunity to be called an omniscient, Maruzat is the first omniscient in the record, his "Centuries" recorded everything that happened in this world, José does not know if there will be a new omniscient in the future, at least now Maluzat is the only omniscient in the world, which is why many people come to the River of Elves to seek the wisdom of Maluzart.

However, Maruzate rarely met with visitors, and José had never heard of anyone who had ever received an invitation from him, but that was not the reason José accepted the invitation, the only reason he accepted Maruzart's invitation was because he did not work tonight.

The Great Library is a huge complex built under the roots of the Pale Tree, the entire complex was built by Maruzat alone using a secret method, and the materials are the remains of Uluto, who were collectively killed by the cavemen, and their remains are fused with the Pale Tree, and through the summoning of Maruzat, the last Uruto, this complex has grown in the land where tragedy once occurred.

Yes, the complex grew from the roots of the Pale Tree, and was all made of wood, but the houses made of boulder or steel in the capital were stronger, because they contained the soul of the entire Uluto clan.

The Great Library is divided into the Outer Section, which houses all the books published by the Empire and the many texts brought by the Holy Alliance from the Old World, and is the most complete collection of books in the entire Empire, and is open to all citizens of the Empire free of charge, while the Inner Section, which is closed to the public, because it is where Maluzat wrote The Centuries.

When José arrived at the Great Library, Maruzate was already standing on the steps of the library waiting for him, as the last Uruto, José could easily find him in the crowd, he looked like a tree as the legend goes, with skin the color of the trunk, folds like an old tree, and hair made of sparse dead leaves.

He used some kind of magic to make sure that only José could see him, otherwise the presence of the All-Seeing would have caused an uproar in the area.

José stepped forward and saluted Maruzat, whose manners were impeccable, and Maruzate bowed to him and then said to José with a slight smile, "It looks like you have a little tail with you." ”

José turned his head after hearing this, and after looking around, he saw that there was a place behind him where the light was a little twisted, and if he looked closely, he could see a transparent blurred human form, and when José looked over, he turned and ran, but he was still pulled by José's shoulder.

A long hair with a fiery red shawl appeared from the transparency, Rong Ruo turned around and stuck out her tongue at Jose, "Senior brother, good evening." ”
