June, the hottest month in the Kingdom of Rune.

Gentlemen who pay attention to decency need to wear a silk scarf even if they wear the lightest formal coat to keep their faces clean at all times;

Ladies should also balance aesthetics and comfort, reducing the number of petticoats and using skirts instead to maintain their appearance.

The university's classes are all over.

This means that there is no more upfront help from a mentor.

Students need to work their own, search for information, improve their respective topics, and prepare for their graduation defense.

Valeera's choice of topic is more clever, so it is not difficult to prepare-

On the Impact of the "Steam Wave" on the World

Of course, in the eyes of her tutors and classmates, she chose a very difficult topic.

Crane had some regrets.

In order to be safe, the topic he chose was relatively simple-

From the Twenty Years' War to the White Rose War

In the Fifth Age, the Black Iron Age, 621-624, the Kingdom of Rune fought a twenty-year war with the Vorsac Empire, and the Kingdom of Rune was defeated and ceded the island of Sunia to the Vorsac Empire.

The Kingdom of Rune, which suffered many years of humiliation due to the defeat of the Twenty Years' War, made various reforms and accumulated heroes, and successfully defeated the Intis Empire in the subsequent White Rose War.

】

It was an inspiring time, a reversal from defeat to victory, and almost every Rune had some knowledge of it.

There was no shortage of analyses and studies on this period of history in the Kingdom of Rune, which greatly facilitated Crane's graduation project.

But he still regretted it.

If...... If Welch had gotten his hands on the Quaternary notebook sooner, he might have chosen a different subject.

Crane, who is determined to break through the fog and restore history, is not much interested in the "first three periods", which are more myths and legends, but he is full of curiosity about the Quaternary period, which is called the "age of the gods" and is full of fog and lacks historical research.

If he had chosen a subject related to the Quaternary, he could have gone to Welch to help interpret the notebook now.

Now, he can only suppress the curiosity in his heart, and almost stay at home, seriously improving his subject.

Valera looked like him, preparing for the project.

Therefore, during the day after Melissa and Benson were out, if it weren't for a big dog, Harpy, the house at 6 Daffodil Street would have almost become their world for two.

Unbeknownst to Crane, Valera wasn't actually preparing for the subject.

In this way, she hopes to avoid tracking as much as possible, avoiding possible accidents and coincidences.

Saturday, June 2nd.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Abis went to the Ketra Law Firm in Jowood's district to find out what was going on with Figoro.

She didn't expect that things would go even more smoothly than she thought.

She easily learned quite a bit of information:

Qi Li has a total of three subordinates.

The earliest of these, currently the "Instigator of Sequence 8", is a well-known bounty hunter who has rarely been seen lately.

The other two were recruited at a similar time, but one is currently only an "Assassin" in Sequence 9, and the other has been promoted to a "Witch" in Sequence 7.

After getting the relevant information about the three of them, Abis did a general investigation and only got very little information.

This month, the "instigators" who are ostensibly bounty hunters made a brief appearance, specifically at the "Brave Bar" on Tiemen Street in the Bridge District.

And the "witch", except for an appearance at Figoro, has not been heard from since.

Abbis decided to go to Tingen to investigate further.

As for the follow-up affairs on Beckland's side, she arranged for one of her "witches" through a "mirror call".

……

Sunday, June 3rd.

Cialis, who was over half a hundred years old and had sparse brown hair, rode a horse-drawn carriage to the Deville Library in the Golden Sycamore District.

Handing the library card to the caretakers sitting behind the long counter, he asked:

"Do you have any literature here related to the main peak of Hornachis?"

By deciphering the notes of the Antigone family, he learned that this family, which was once quite prominent in the Quaternary Period, originated from the main peak of Honakis.

Although the family has now decayed to the point of disappearing, they may leave behind enough treasure to revive the family on the main peak of Honaches.

"Please wait a minute, I'll look for it."

The world's libraries are still managed in the ancient way.

One of the administrators took Siris's library card, checked that it was correct, turned to face the drawers on the wall behind the long table, opened the one corresponding to the initials of "Hornakis", and then turned out a few cards full of words according to a certain pattern.

After taking a closer look, he shook his head and said:

"I'm sorry, sir, but there are no books directly related to the main peak of Honaches."

With a disappointed look, Siris reached for his library card and prepared to leave.

At this time, a slightly frivolous and casual voice sounded, "This old gentleman, since you are looking for literature related to the main peak of Honakis, why don't you take a look at journals such as "New Archaeology" and "Review of Archaeology"?" ”

"There is a relic on the main peak of that mountain range called 'Night Country', and I believe that there must be archaeological papers on it published in these journals."

Siris and the caretaker turned to look and saw that it was a young man with an ordinary face, black hair, brown hair, a full forehead, round glasses, and a smile on his lips.

The smile on the corner of his mouth seemed to imply a hint of sarcasm.

"Thank you."

After thanking him, Siris turned to the administrator and said, "Please help me find the journals he mentioned." ”

As the Administrator turned around to rummage through the cards again, Siris looked back at the young man who had made the suggestion earlier, and said:

"Thank you again for your help, young man."

"It's just that I'm curious, are you familiar with that mountain range?"

"It's okay." The young man waved his hand indifferently, "I just happened to go there some time ago to investigate. ”

When Sirius heard it, he thought it was simply amazing.

He could have spoken to the young man a little more and found out some specific information about the main peak of Honaches.

"Sir, the journal you're looking for is in these few locations." The administrator scribbled the location on a slip of paper and handed it to Siris.

Ciris, who took the note, moved in his heart and said with a smile:

"Young man, can you do me a favor and help me find these journals? By the way, my name is Siris, what about you? ”

"Of course," the smile on the black-haired young man's face remained the same, "just call me Lanrius." ”

The two of them had their own thoughts, talking and laughing, and walked to the bookshelf to the side.
