Chapter 17: Not a Lover
The tall hall is filled with bookshelves, hundreds of which are neatly arranged with endless books, and there are occasionally long wooden tables and wooden chairs scattered around the tables for people to read and take notes.
This hall lacks a bit of the luxury and magnificence of the other halls of the Divine Law Academy, and the quiet atmosphere of ink fills this ocean of knowledge.
This is the book hall of the School of Theological Law, this hall full of ancient paper, is the place where Di Xue has spent the most in the past few days.
Taylor is gone, Princess Dilan also returned to the Tower of Eternity yesterday after collecting a lot of evidence, Di Xue's injuries have almost recovered, but the spiritual power is still sealed, Master Tina said that he will untie it for him today.
Although he can't use magic for the time being, it doesn't affect Di Xue's other things, he has endless questions about the two assassinations and the wrecked magic flying machine, and after Taylor left, he plunged into his work, shuttling between the book hall and the magic weapon hall of the seminary all day long.
Standing in front of a tall bookshelf, Di Xue frowned slightly, looking at a thick book in her hand, as if she was looking at something.
He looked through this heavy book for a long time, shook his head with some regret, and sighed, this book didn't seem to have anything he wanted to consult.
Di Xue raised his head, his gaze wandered between the layers of bookshelves, he stretched out his hand and pointed to a book on the upper floor of the bookshelf, and said, "That one, red." β
Behind him stood two royal guards in gold armor and red robes, motionless like statues, and when they heard his words, one of the guards immediately brought a ladder and climbed up to fetch a book for him.
Wherever Di Xue goes these days, there will definitely be a few to a dozen guards to follow, after he, the eldest prince, was assassinated, Di Lan brought a hundred royal guards can be said to be inseparable from him, even before he goes to the toilet, he has to check the commode.
These royal guards received a death order from the commander of the guard and the princess of Dilan, and the eldest prince was the only one who would be asked if he lost a single hair while recuperating from his injuries at the seminary.
After Di Xue was helpless for a while, she accepted the meticulous "care" of these guards.
He is now sealed with spiritual power, he is just an ordinary person, Taylor has left again, so naturally there is nothing he can do with these guards.
And the magicians and students of the School of Divine Law quickly got used to the extra "background" behind Di Xue.
Di Xue rubbed her eyebrows slightly, handed the book in her hand to a member of the personal guard behind her, and walked towards the table and chair in the far rest area.
He was checking the information about the staggered magic array, the driving array of the wrecked flying machine not far from Cold Winter City had been transported to the magic weapon hall a few days ago, Di Xue had been studying the cause of the flying saucer crash with the mentors and students in the magic weapon hall for the past few days, and after everyone's preliminary identification, there seemed to be no trace of human destruction.
This made Di Xue very strange, it was because this new magic flying machine crashed and fell during the test, he sent Taylor to investigate, he thought it was just an ordinary accident, but he didn't expect Taylor to go to the magic law because he didn't return, so he was worried and went to the magic law, and as a result, he was serially assassinated.
According to Taylor, after inspecting the scene of the UFO crash and meeting with the personnel from the Seminary to investigate, she set off for the Eternal City, but was attacked by three high-ranking martial artists on the way.
Fortunately, Taylor's stealth skills were skillful, and he escaped at the cost of a slight wound to his left shoulder, and then happened to encounter Di Xue's carriage on the way back.
As a disciple of the leader of the Brotherhood of Light, in recent years, Taylor has gradually taken over the affairs of the Brotherhood within the Plain of Heroic Souls, although she is nominally following Di Xue to enter the world to practice, but the leader of the Brotherhood of Light is not a fool, when Taylor followed Di Xue into the world to practice, Di Xue was only fourteen years old, what can a fourteen-year-old child teach her? The leader of the Brotherhood agreed to the request of His Majesty the Emperor in desperation, but in recent years, he has also gradually cultivated Taylor to take over various things of the Bright Brotherhood in the Plain of Heroic Soul.
A huge organization of assassins, naturally full of enemies on the mainland, over the years Taylor has also encountered a lot of life-and-death fights when performing missions for the Brotherhood, and has also been injured, but this time he was sent by Di Xue to check the scene of the UFO crash, and he was also attacked.
Therefore, Di Xue intuitively felt that the wrecked flying saucer had something to do with the assassination he had suffered, and when the coincidence was a bit too much, it was likely to be no longer a coincidence.
Di Xue sat at the long table, his thumb on one hand supporting his chin and his index finger covering his lips, a gesture he always liked to do when thinking.
The candlelight flickered on the long table, reflecting a small point of light in his blue eyes, and the light on these silver lampstands was actually all lighting magic, but deliberately made to look like a candle flame.
In the hall of books, the occasional teachers and students of the academy who passed by here also walked away softly and lightly, without disturbing Di Xue.
Di Xue is actually a very easy-going person, and the magic teachers and students of the School of Divine Law also know that although the eldest prince often has a cold face, he is actually a very good person to get along with.
It's just that in the past few days, although the people in the Divine Law Academy are used to the statues standing behind Di Xue all the time, they are not used to the eyes of those statues that are always vigilant and dangerous, and whenever someone approaches Di Xue, they will inevitably be stared at by the statues like hungry tigers.
Except for those little girls who ignore the "vision" of tigers and wolves and want to gossip about his past with Taylor, he has been very quiet these days......
Di Xue thought silently for a while, he was thinking about the information about the staggered magic array, hoping to find any clues from the driving array of the wrecked flying saucer, the information he had just checked flowed through his mind like flowing water, but he still didn't have any clues.
He took the hot towel from one of the guards and wiped his face, he knew that this work could not be completed in a short time, so he stopped thinking for a while, and prepared to take back the information he had just found and study it slowly.
Di Xue asked one of the guards behind him to fetch a pen and paper and began to write a letter to Taylor.
The flame of the magic candle flickered softly, and the soft, warm light reflected a pale yellow glow on both his cheeks and the letterhead, and Di Xue pondered the words for a moment, and the pen began to rustle on the letterhead, and he wrote:
Dear Taylor,
The investigation of the aircraft-driven array lasted two days, and the preliminary research found no traces of vandalism, which struck me as very strange, and my gut told me that there might be some connection between the two things.
Maybe I'm too impatient, the teacher will unlock the spiritual seal for me tonight, and then I'm going back to the Tower of Eternity to meet my father, I don't know what the old man will say when he sees me, hey......
After that, I may go to the scene to investigate, after all, this UFO crash itself is also a bit strange, my sister went back yesterday with a lot of evidence, but left the 100 guards and more than 20 palace attendants to me, those palace attendants are fine, but these royal guards have been "taking care" of me recently, they exaggerated to the point that even my commode has to be checked three times a day.
You used to like to stand behind me and be silent, but you're much more interesting than the guards, and I think the people at the School of Theology should understand why I didn't like these statues when I was a kid and didn't like them going out with me.
Di Xue paused, his eyes were slightly stunned, and after thinking for a moment, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and a hint of a smile appeared on his face, and he continued to write:
Taylor, although you have just left, but I already miss you very much, more than any time you leave, I have to miss it, the day you left, I spent a long time by the stone fence, I heard that in the past few days, there have been rumors everywhere in the Eternal City that I am a nymphomaniac, and some people say that they don't know if I am stupid by the magic crystal bombardment.
But I don't care, it's just gossip, I'm quite happy that the rumors that I and I are gay have finally been shattered.
It's just that I don't know if you will care, that day I watched you step on the fallen leaves, my sister said I was a fool, I really am, I'm sorry to ignore you so much before.
I hope you will come back quickly, and tell SΓΉ Herris that old immortal, if he dares to send you on some dangerous mission, I will let my father cut off the support of the brotherhood for next year.
- Love your snow
Di Xue folded the letter, handed it to a member of the guard, and instructed, "Give it to Uncle Xu, he knows where to send it." β
The team members who had delivered the letter were about to leave, when another member of the personal guard led a handsome young man in a fine costume to the long table where Di Xue was.
Seeing the letter in the hands of the departing guard, he looked at Di Xue and quipped, "Yo, what about the love letter to the little lover?"
Di Xue looked at the eyes of the mirror and said very seriously: "It's not a little lover, it's a girlfriend." β
