Chapter 124: Old Sir
"I just said that it was a young man, wearing a robe and hat, and I didn't see it clearly. Muariki replied that he had received the Templar's tracking instructions and immediately set out in pursuit, and the intruder was so fast that even if there was a glorious tracking, only a faint side face could be seen.
"No trace of him found on the first floor!" Several other adjudicators quickly searched the first floor, but found no intruder. Although the first floor of the library was full of bookshelves, there was a large gap between the shelves, and it was almost impossible to get through this cover, and there was no obvious place to hide in the first floor, even if the intruder opened the window and escaped, they would definitely be able to detect it.
"Go to the second floor, Muiris, you stay outside the library, don't let that guy have a chance to jump out of the window and escape!" Amand immediately gave the order, and quickly ran to the second floor with the other six referees.
In the same way, after searching the second floor, they still found no sign of the intruder, nor did they find any sign of the window being opened, and their mount, the Silver Bird, hovered over the library, and if the intruder had escaped through the open window, their tamer would have found it quickly.
The library has five floors, each of which resembles a huge temple, so even though it is only five floors, the height is staggering. The lower three floors of the library are all open to students, the fourth floor can only be entered by the academy teachers, and the fifth floor can only be entered by those with special powers, but several temple judges searched the first three floors and found no trace of the intruder, and now there are only the fourth and fifth floors, and Amand thinks that the intruder is likely to be hidden in the library, and as long as he continues to search, he will definitely find the trace of that guy.
Although students are forbidden to enter the fourth floor, there is also no door, and the huge library hall is completely open, and the students of the Holy Academy will consciously abide by this rule, and will only go to the fourth floor unless there are special circumstances.
"Ahem-" Just as they were about to step on the fourth floor, a figure slowly stepped out of a shadow, deep blue eyes swept over these silver-armored temple warriors, and said in an old voice, "What's going on?"
Several of the adjudicators were obviously stunned, this old man seemed to have walked directly through the darkness in front of them, and none of them sword masters noticed it!
"Old man, we tracked down a heretic who broke into the temple to this vicinity, and suddenly found that his figure had disappeared, so I came here to check and check, I don't know if the old man ......" Amman hurriedly saluted the old man before speaking.
This old gentleman is the manager of the library of the Holy Academy, the library of the Holy Academy has a history of thousands of years, and its collection of books is even more than the royal library, and many of the books in it are very precious, but in such a sacred hall, the Holy Academy did not send any guards, not because the academy is at ease with the enchantment and students, but because this mysterious old man guards this treasure house!
"If he gets around here, no matter what special abilities he has, I can sense it......" The old gentleman said, and after speaking, he slowly walked up the stairs of the fourth floor with his hands behind his back, but with the upward steps, the figure of the old man became blurred, and finally disappeared in vain from the sight of several temple judges!
"Search somewhere else!" said Arman, knowing that there was no need to continue searching the library, after hearing the old gentleman's words, to the other adjudicators.
"But...... I saw the intruder arrive here and disappear. Frey said.
"It should be the cunning guy's trick, and the old gentleman's perception will not be wrong. Amand didn't question the old man's words in any way, and waved his hand at the others.
"Aman, who is this old gentleman...... asked in a low voice, he is also from the Holy Academy, and he has heard of this old man who manages the library, but he has never known what special identity this old man has.
"I don't know much about that, but it's better to track down that heretic. Amand shook his head.
After the silver-armored temple envoy left the library, a black figure slowly walked out of the stairs on the fourth floor of the library, carefully confirmed that those people had left, and then walked to the bookshelves on the fourth floor, and his eyes fell on the old man who was sitting by the window, and said, "Thank you, old man." ”
The person who spoke was naturally Gaia, and he did hide in the library, originally wanting to use the dagger to cut through the fifth layer of the barrier and hide inside, but the old man stopped him.
Gaia and the old gentleman of the library are also a little familiar, Gaia has the habit of visiting the library often, whenever he wants to check some magic books, he will always ask this old gentleman, and the old gentleman will give Gaia some guidance, and even introduce some classic theoretical books, which is of great help to Gaia, so Gaia respects him very much.
"Have you always doubted God?" the old gentleman's voice echoed in the empty four-story hall.
"I'm just going to find someone in the temple, and there's nothing else blasphemous. Gaia explained that the old gentleman must have guessed that he was the one who trespassed on the temple, so there was no need to hide anything from him.
"Stay here until dawn before leaving, they're still around. After the old gentleman finished speaking, he stopped talking, his wrinkled face turned slightly sideways, his eyes stared quietly at the cold moon outside the window, and the whole person seemed to be instantly petrified by the moonlight into an ancient sculpture, and he did not move.
Gaia nodded, and didn't bother the old gentleman again, he sat aside, remembering the situation just now, he took a long breath, the temple is really not something that can break in at will, and because the security of the temple must be more strict this time, it should be impossible to enter the temple again for a short time.
It was still the second half of the night, and it was still some time before dawn, and Gaia also closed her eyes and went into meditation to make the time pass faster......
The moonlight at midnight had already tilted, and the cold white light slowly moved to him, imprinted on his handsome face, and at this time, the old man sitting by the window had a trace of rotation in his eyes, staring at Gaia's face that was a little pale by the moonlight, as if to evoke an indelible memory, and his eyes revealed a kind of tired sadness......
