Vicky wanted Siegel to stay at Wolfstein Castle until dawn, so that he would have enough time to arrange his manpower and ensure that all the Orthodox rebels were imprisoned. Not only did the exhaustion wave hit all the enemies, but even the hounds who had penetrated into the enemy's interior were not spared, so Siegel lent him four earth elemental rune guards to replenish his manpower before hurriedly returning to the ship.

"Viscount Bill is not in very good condition, his body is extremely weak, and I am afraid that he will need a long time to recuperate. "As soon as he boarded the ship, Mage Shelley brought bad news. "You'll have to wake him up and ask him when and what he's eaten for the last few times, and I need that information to make a potion. ”

Siegel thought about it and did as he was told. When Sir Bill woke up, the first thing he saw was to grab him by the sleeve and squeeze a hoarse sentence out of his throat: "Find that history book, Book 7 of the History of the Starry Kingdom, Swan Castle." ”

"Sir Bill, don't worry, I'll find it. You're safe now, and I've dealt with the possessed ghost. How do you feel?"

"Very weak, never so tired. His clenched fingers slowly loosened, gasping for breath. "Thank you for coming to the rescue. I don't have much time to be sober, I can't write to you, I only have time to divorce her, it's really hard to say. ”

As he spoke, he wanted to fall asleep. Siegel hurriedly inquired about his recent diet and learned that he had not eaten anything other than wine and a small amount of cheese. With that, Sir Bill fell asleep again.

"Archmage, those who have been possessed by evil spirits need a very pleasant environment and can no longer experience anger, sorrow, or sorrow. But you can't be suddenly ecstatic or excited. This can also result in wounds that don't heal. Master Shelley said, "If you agree." I can cast some spells for him to soothe his dreams. Let him gradually return to an optimistic and positive attitude towards life during his rest, which is good for his health. ”

"Thank you, I have handed over Sir Bill to you before returning to the royal capital. ”

After returning to the royal capital, Siegel will definitely go to the priest of the Temple of Dawn or the Temple of War to recuperate for Sir Bill, and now he has something to investigate. How Sir Bill came to be targeted by the Shadow of the Dead must have a secret hidden in this.

So he returned to Swanstein Castle. Found the wiki in the lobby. When the magic ship attacked, a drinking party was being held here, and many nobles took advantage of this occasion to exchange information with each other and hatch conspiracies.

"Want the list of Orthodox people and all the interrogation materials? I don't think that's a problem. "It's great that you can help, and many problems can be solved," Wiki said. No arrest has been as smooth as it is today, and the gains have been great. Lord Marquis, you helped me, and I will help you, this cooperation is very pleasant. This is the case in the royal capital, someone can help you stand more firmly. Look further. ”

"I agree with you. Siegel nodded: "How long has it been since Aaron passed the throne to His Majesty Evan, and the Orthodox Society can have such a scale." Don't you think it's very strange? Where did they get their information, and what did they have the money? How did they communicate and organize?"

"You're right, there are a lot of questions that need to be clarified slowly. Vikki walked over to the table, found two glasses, and poured a refreshing cider over them. The mountainous area where Swan Castle is located is very humid and suffocating, as if you always have a wet towel around your neck, which makes you feel suffocating. "Lord Marquis, there are some things that need to be decided as soon as possible. ”

Siegel took the cup and held it in his hand, not in a hurry to drink it. "What's the matter?"

"The duke of Swan Castle gathers rebels, and he can't get out of it. Since he usually didn't have many relatives and friends, no nobles would intercede for him, so he was dead. What do you think of this huge castle? It's almost 500 years old, and it's a great place. ”

"What do I want the castle to do, I already have Heim Territory and Myr City. Siegel blurted out, and then understood what Wiki meant. It just so happened that he also had what he needed, so he said: "The castle is the base of the rebels, and everything is incriminating evidence, so I'm not interested in it at all." But you said that it has a long history, maybe there will be some good books, and I was trying to enrich my library. ”

"Books?" Wiki froze. It seems that the Marquis of Siegel was really a rich man as the legend goes, and he had little interest in a duke's vault or secret room. But maybe it's because he has a lot of self-control, or he's too lazy to speak.

"Oh, I thought, I don't want letters or anything, you have to look for clues in those things. If there are any history books, biographies, local chronicles, and other books that don't have much information about the rebellion, you can check them out and sell me some. I'm an archmage, but I also have to think about future generations, and I can't just let them read magic books, right?"

"It turns out that the Marquis is interested in this aspect, so don't talk about selling it, just take it as an action to protect the books, and I am happy to serve. Viki smiled and said, "If there are any kinds of books missing from the Royal Library, the Marquis can tell me as well." If something is missing, you can't make the world's No. 1 library lack something, you say that's the truth. ”

What was he hinting at, could he help me steal something from the school? By the way, Janet had found out that Liel had made a major prophecy to Aaron, who was only the Grand Prince at the time, and she had sold the news to the Knox Guild. At the time, she was not an official intelligence officer, but a trainee spy. Now that she's able to accomplish such a mission, maybe she'll be even more capable of being a full-fledged espionage.

But then again, as a marquis, how could Siegel summon the king's spies? You can't rush it, it's too dangerous.

So he laughed twice and said to the intelligence officer, "You mean the library in the school city, where I am not welcome, so I don't have a chance to visit it." The Royal Library is the largest collection to me, and ...... at the moment," he sighed, "and if this matter can be solved perfectly, I may have time to read the books." At present, we can only reserve a little more like ants preparing for winter. ”

"Yes, Lord Marquis, winter is coming. Vicky drank the wine down, and there seemed to be a deep meaning in his words.

However, the intelligence director was a very helpful person, using the mysterious contact methods of their agency, some official hunting dogs and temporary conscription "wild dogs" gathered to help clean up the scene and detain the prisoners. All the books of Swanstein Castle were piled up in the courtyard, and the letters inside were all taken away, leaving only the volumes of content. Siegel summoned invisible thralls and carried them to the ship one by one.

There is only one book in it that he is aiming for: "History of the Kingdom of Stars" Volume 7, a total of 11 volumes.

It was a three-finger-thick hardcover, fastened with a silver-inlaid lock. The author is not found on the cover of the book, but there are some very strange scars on it. If rust is evidence that metal has aged over time, then decay should be the fate of leather covers?

A strand of decay that slanted across the cover left a strange trail resembling lightning, a stark contrast to the intact cover around it. Siegel stroked the mark with his hand, and suddenly felt the shadow left by the power of the time shock. He carefully examined it, combined with his own experience in using the Void Cannon, and deduced that this lightning trail was a physical manifestation of time. This book must have experienced a time and space shock!

He opened the book with 100,000 curiosity, and the first dozen pages were all records of the Starry Kingdom's holding of jousting tournaments, promotion to knighthood, and marriages between lords, nothing unusual. But the next sentence startled Siegel.

"Aaron Stars succeeded to the throne and began a reign that lasted for forty-two years. During this period, the Star Kingdom ushered in another development, and the power scattered among the nobles was further concentrated in the royal family, and the Star Empire finally subdued the elves and dwarves to lay a solid foundation. ”

What kind of history book is this? Siegel sat next to Sir Bill and read backwards with the help of illumination. What is recorded in this book is a completely different history, a history that can never be realized. Aaron is dead, and he has no real heirs, so the prosperity of the starry kingdom written in the book will not be fulfilled in his hands. Perhaps the Orthodox will think that the book is true, that they have the power to turn everything around and let fate follow the lines in the book. But do they really think they have that power?

Maybe they're just looking for an interface for their ambitions.

Gently turning the pages, Siegel read carefully. He found no trace of Evan inside, nor of himself. In the whole book, there is only the Mage Association, the school city, and there is nothing to do with the Federation. When he finished reading the book, he suddenly found that there was not a single mention of the New World.

There is no Top of Mora, no Elven Forest, no Waterdeep, and no Heim Territory. The New World is like another piece of history in another world. From the information that Siegel has learned, it seems that the birth of the Shadow of the Dead and the birth of the New World are the same event, perhaps...... Maybe they weren't supposed to be the shadow of the dead, that's why they're angry, they're going to want revenge.

Sir Bill opened his eyes and saw Siegel reading. At this time, it was already morning, and the magic spaceship that had completed the mission was flying in the direction of the royal capital.

"You need to rest, Master Bill, and everything will be fine. Siegel quipped, "If you want to get back together with the Countess of Ferrarand, I can help you out." If you don't want to, the world is so big, there is land and women everywhere. ”

"Stinky boy, you dare to make fun of me. The corners of Sir Bill's mouth rose slightly, and his head, sunk in the pillow, tilted back. "It's a terrible nightmare, you can see and hear everything when you're possessed, but you just can't manipulate it, like a prisoner in a house. ”

"Then you don't have time to write a letter to me if you have time to divorce your wife?" Siegel said, "I'm an archmage, I can always help!"

"You can help me, but you're going to get into trouble. Bill wore a worried look: "Siegel, be careful, I heard the rumors, the conspiracy against you." (To be continued.) )
