"It's okay, there aren't many people who come to this library in Gotham, and even fewer are willing to read such boring books, so it's good that you didn't mistake me for a bad thief in the first place."

Dean closed the book and stuffed it onto the shelf, saying nonchalantly.

"Besides, I'm just going to get out of here right now to find something to eat."

It was close to half past one in the afternoon, and it was already past the normal meal, but Dean had eaten breakfast quite late, so he wasn't really hungry.

He had lost some time reading before, and if it wasn't for the administrator girl's voice just now, maybe Dean would have read it for a long time.

"Is that so? Then I'm going to have to recommend you the dining area in our library, and I swear by my dad that the cheese rolls there are the best in all of Gotham, and the point is - it's good and affordable, so I really recommend you try it. ”

Hearing Dean say that he was going to eat, the girl eagerly recommended him the food in the library's dining area.

I don't know if it's because the cheese rolls here are really that good, or if she's actively soliciting business in the sparsely populated library.

But then again, shouldn't this type of library be maintained on government subsidies?

Could it be that the dining area is outsourced? Or do they want to make some extra money?

Whatever.

Dean threw these meaningless thoughts out of his mind at once, he was not very interested in such things.

"I don't think it's a good food that can be highly recommended by the police chief's daughter, so I'll go and try it."

As he spoke, Dean got up and walked over to the library dining area.

"Wait! What did you just say? ”

As soon as Dean finished speaking, the administrator girl hurriedly grabbed him and asked with a shocked expression.

"You know me?"

"No, it's our first time meeting."

"And how do you know my identity?"

The girl looked at Dean suspiciously, looking up and down.

"Quite simply, the recruitment requirements for a Gotham City librarian are much higher than those of ordinary libraries, and you can enjoy some additional public office treatment, if you don't have a college degree in library management or your parents are public officials, few people are qualified to be regular employees here, and the color on your staff badge is dark blue, which means that you are a little higher than the other librarians here."

Dean said as a matter of course.

"It's impossible for an ordinary person at your age to get this position."

"But what does this have to do with the police chief's daughter? Can't I be the daughter of any city official? ”

Dean smiled faintly and said, "Gotham's officials are usually ...... If they are not very honest, their descendants will not be able to look down on a position like a librarian with many benefits but a very low salary, let alone endure the hardships of perennial martial arts training. ”

"And you are different from them, you have practiced martial arts, maybe judo or karate or something, which can be seen from the thin calluses on your hands and the tight muscles on your legs, that kind of shape is different from simple fitness practice, it is formed by hitting hard objects all year round, which means that you have practiced martial arts for a long time, and you are very focused, like that group of second generations to go to the martial arts class just for fun, it is almost impossible to practice like this."

Especially in a world like DC, once a rich second-generation official goes to learn martial arts, he will be 100% a superhero, but superheroes are a minority after all, how can they be seen casually.

"In the Gotham environment, there are very few families who will send their daughters to systematically learn martial arts skills, and they tend to be concentrated in the police, lawyers, judges and other members of the political and legal system, because they know the hidden darkness of the city better than ordinary people, and they are also richer than ordinary families, so they will try their best to hope that you have the power to protect yourself, after all, they can't keep their daughters out for the rest of their lives."

Hearing this, the girl's interest was gradually aroused.

"According to you, even if my parents may work in the political and legal system, why should they be locked into the GCPD director? He is not the only policeman with a daughter. ”

"Well...... I'm going to talk about a friend of mine, who has a lot of sources, and once told me that Director Gordon has a genius daughter who got a Ph.D. in library management from Gotham University at the age of 18 this year. ”

Dean shrugged his shoulders and raised his eyebrows and said, he wasn't lying, this friend was actually Dick, and they had known each other for so many years and often gossiped about things they knew.

Dick always complains to Dean about the corruption of various dignitaries, and Dean will also reveal some little secrets in magic to Dick.

One of them mentions Director Gordon's daughter, but this is not taken seriously by Dean, who does not know that Barbara is a Batgirl.

......Hearing this, the girl was silent for a while, and said, "So, you actually knew that my father was Jim Gordon, and what I said earlier was all nonsense?" ”

Dean smiled and said, "How can it be said to be nonsense?" Am I wrong? ”

"Okay, okay, you're awesome in your observations, you should go and be a private investigator...... I'm Barbara Gordon, can I ask you what's your name? ”

Barbara formally introduces herself and asks for Dean's name.

"First acquaintance, Miss Gordon, I'm Dean Suston, and this is for you."

I saw Dean stretch out his hand and snap his fingers, and a pink rose appeared in his hand out of thin air, bowed slightly, and handed the flower to Barbara.

"Oh, thank you, you can do magic?"

Barbara graciously accepted the rose, slightly surprised.

Conjuring roses is not an uncommon technique, and it can be said that every magician can be a basic skill, but because of this, it is more difficult to perform well, especially in front of an audience with strong eyesight.

And the bat girl's eyesight obviously belongs to the class of excellent eyesight, and most of the close-up magic Barbara can see through it at a glance, but when Dean conjured a rose just now, Barbara didn't see his technique at all.

It's not that I can't read it, but I can't see it.

Barbara knew how the magic worked, and even she could succeed herself, but it was almost impossible to achieve Dean's level of inability to see the trick at all.

"Come to think of it, I think I've heard the name Sasson somewhere before...... I remember! You're the famous genius young magician! ”

Suddenly, Barbara felt as if something had suddenly come to mind.

"Grayson told me about you before...... Wait, you said a friend told you that Director Gordon had a daughter? Isn't it—"

"Yes, you guessed it, that friend of mine is Dick Grayson."

Dean confessed frankly.
