It was already one afternoon when I came out of Princess Shirley's bedchamber.

As Shirley's 'elder brother' before, Gu Xiao listened to her pour out her thoughts, accompanied her to lunch once, and guarded her at the door of the dormitory to fall asleep.

Listening to the sound of even breathing in the dormitory, he quietly closed the door of the dormitory with his hand, but Gu Xiao's expression at this time was a little complicated.

In the conversation with Shirley, even if he doesn't understand people's feelings and sophistication, he can still feel the innocence of Princess Shirley.

She is like a delicate flower that has never seen the wind and frost and rain and dew, and she is well protected, full of satisfaction and a hot yearning for love.

It was hard for Gu Xiao to imagine that such a person would grow into a character like a vicious queen in the future.

As the villain in "Snow White" that he once read when he was a child, in Gu Xiao's imagination, the vicious queen should be a character like 'Mama Rong' who has pus on her feet, a vicious heart, and can prick people's hands and feet with needles.

At the very least, she should abuse animals, be arrogant and crazy, and the guards and maids who serve around her will be beaten and scolded whenever she is unhappy, and even kill people at every turn.

But when I really came into contact with Princess Shirley, I couldn't feel the shadow of the future vicious queen in her body.

She will be wronged by the scolding of her parents, she will blame herself for disgrace to the royal family, she will be full of enthusiasm for romantic imagination of a beautiful married life, and she will also be approachable to let a nominal 'childhood sweetheart' but in fact a low-status character who is nothing more than a bodyguard sit with her and share lunch with her.

Gu Xiao was really a little hesitant.

If she chose to join the Vicious Queen camp before, just for the 33% Aksha Bookstore permission reward, then now Gu Xiao is willing to try to contact Xiao Shirley, try to accept her, and help her find her happiness.

……

ended serving at Princess Shirley's side, as Princess Shirley's personal guard, in theory, Gu Xiao should be dutifully guarding the door of Shirley's dormitory until she woke up.

But Gu Xiao had other important things to do, so he instructed Shirley's personal maid, Alice, to stay there for him, and he took the token borrowed from Little Shirley and went to the Royal National Library.

The National Library of the Principality of York covers an area of more than 143,000 square metres and houses more than 10,000 books.

Among the more than 10,000 books in the collection, there are mainly specialized books such as literary and historical materials, route sequence information, ritual circles, and mathematics and astronomy.

The purpose of Gu Xiao's visit this time was to find books related to demons in the National Library. In this episode of "Snow White", the special task is to destroy the demons around the queen, and the hint given before entering the plot is also 'don't trade with demons'.

It seems that the demon should be a very important key point in this plot, so Gu Xiao decided to know that the other side can survive a hundred battles.

The token was shown at the guard at the door, and the guard saw that it was the identity token of Princess Shirley and let Gu Xiao in.

With this token, Gu Xiao was almost unimpeded in the National Library, and accompanied by a young lady guide, Gu Xiao found all the books related to demons on the first to third floors of the library.

Moving over a large stack of books piled up like a hill, Gu Xiao sat in the reading area and began to read without sleep or food.

To be honest, Gu Xiao had never read so seriously in his life before, not even when he had bad grades in elementary school, but now in order to be able to pass the plot smoothly, he began to gnaw on this 'tome'.

Next to the mountain-like book, Gu Xiao put pen and paper on the table. Wherever he reads and what he sees, he writes it down on paper, so that he doesn't forget it after reading it.

Gradually, the content on the paper began to increase.

'One of the eight basic paths has a demonic path. The purple pillar of light that I had seen before, the one that sequenced the 9 demon eggs, was the demon path. ’

'The Demon Path's class recruitment is different from other basic paths, and is randomly hatched through Demon Eggs. As long as you unlock the upper rank, the Demon Egg will randomly hatch into any class that has been lit up when it reaches maturity. It's just that the hatching probability of the higher classes will be much lower. ’

"There's a book about the demons involved in trading, not to mention. In that book, the Chronicles of Hell Chronicles, it is recorded that a hidden sequence called 'Mammon' was seen in one of the tribes of Hell.5

It is said that the demon Mammon was not born directly from hell, but was demonized by other species that had fallen. It is said that fallen Mammon demons are born demon merchants who are keen on vicious tricks that harm others and themselves. ’

'Sequence 8 of the Demon Pathway is called Gogo, and it is a rare Sequence 8 class of all paths with spell-casting ability. (The elf path can't be counted, the sequence 9 flower demon and sequence 8 tree spirit of the elf path can be called the shame of the elf path, and the frontal combat power is almost zero.) ）’

Luckily, I found a memoir written by Mammon Mo, and if it weren't for the fact that my right eye sensed that something seemed to be hidden in this thick book, I wouldn't have realized that there was a memoir hidden inside. This task didn't seem to bother me in terms of 'source code', and directly translated the contents of the memoir into Longguo Chinese that I could understand.

The book reads: Every fallen Mammon is a clown played by fate, and at every moment we often make the choices that seem to be the 'most correct' at the moment, but from the perspective of the whole life, we will find that the seemingly 'most correct' choices will eventually lead to an unfortunate ending.

Most of the mammons fell in despair after realizing this. Realizing that all our efforts have been exchanged for our own tragic life makes us completely lose our faith and degenerate into demons.

Therefore, Mammon Demon is also called the 'prophet' of demons, which does not mean that Mammon Demon has the ability to predict the future, but that we, the poor fellows who have been teased by fate, have finally summed up a little bit of tragic experience that will not be teased under countless merciless mockery, and these 'experiences' summed up from the tragedy are regarded as prophets by other demons. ’

……

In the evening, the abnormal movement of the communication crystal woke up Gu Xiao, who was immersed in the ocean of knowledge, he raised his head, and suddenly found that the paper next to him was already full of three pages of text.

Outside, the sun had already set below, and there was only a little afterglow of the setting sun.

"It's already this time!"

Gu Xiao was shocked to realize that he had been in the National Library for too long, so he took out the communication crystal and carefully perceived the information inside.

"Brother Hamlet, it's time to come back for dinner! On the first day when I was someone's guard, I skipped out to play, and even more so I didn't even call me, and I didn't want to pay attention to you anymore! ”

Looking at this familiar tone, Gu Xiao immediately realized that it should be Xiao Shirley who woke up, and sent a message to find him when he was not there.

After returning the books, he hurried back to Shirley's dormitory.

On the way back, Gu Xiao, who was galloping on a horse, did not close his perception.

As he walked, he listened to some rumors and discussions in the neighborhood by the way.

'Princess Shirley is kind, everyone knows it, but this time she really didn't have long eyes, and she chose the king of a small country as her object. I heard that that small country is nothing compared to our Duchy of York, and hooking up with our Princess Shirley is for the rights of our Duchy of York. ’

'yes, that's really off the charts. I heard that the area of that small country is not as big as a province in our country, at best it is the size of an earldom in our principality, and the toad wants to eat swan meat and wants to marry the pearl of our principality of York? Go for his daydreams! ’

'Now it's not people who want to soak our pearls, but our cabbage that is going to be arched by people's wild boars.' The cabbage has grown two legs and ran out of the vegetable garden on its own, what do you think we can do? ’

"Hey, don't say it, I heard that the old man is in his fifties this year, you said that his thing can still be used, don't let our little princess marry and be a yellow flower girl for a lifetime, and stay a widow for the rest of your life!" ’

There are rumors in the market, and so on.

But in general, the people still maintain a pessimistic attitude towards the marriage of the princess.
