Chapter 154: Accidents

The faΓ§ade of the Beowulf Library is not very large, but the inside is very deep and the layout is very strange, it does not look like a library, but like the courtyard of some nobleman.

"I asked the administrator, yesterday morning, two men and one woman, three people came here, stayed in the fifth reading room for three hours, and did not leave until noon, and no one usually entered the reading room, so the administrator remembers it very clearly. By the way, I remember a place full of books on the continent of Europa about black magic, and blueprints of the Metropolis through the ages. Holmes said.

"Why are these two things put together?" asked Ponsie curiously, the two books were completely incompatible.

"Who knows? Maybe it's because no one cares about either of these things. Holmes shook his head.

Pushing open the door of the reading room, the breeze in the courtyard blew into the reading room, rolling up a gust of dust full of historical traces, and people who choked wanted to cough.

The fifth reading room is not small, with ten tall and wide shelves and tens of thousands of books.

"Looks like we've got it. Looking at the bookshelf in front of him, Holmes sighed.

"Not necessarily. Pang Xie's eyes flashed, and his divine sense was immediately released, and in an instant, he swept over more than 100,000 books one by one, and immediately, he found that the dust on more than 10 books had been wiped off, which was the result of being turned over recently, so he took these books out of the shelves.

"These are the books they've flipped through. Ponsie said.

"Are you sure?" Holmes was stunned.

"Of course. Pang Xie nodded, if it weren't for the dust, he might not have found it so quickly, but with the help of the dust, it wouldn't be difficult to find the books.

"Lucy Li is right, you really have some special skills. Holmes said.

By the window, there happened to be a table that had been wiped clean, it should have been wiped by Tie Qingyu and them yesterday, and they happened to look at it.

"One hundred and one gold shops in the metropolis...... I've read this book, and 90 percent of it has been demolished......"

"The Seven Dark Leaders of the Blood Clan...... It's pure fantasy, and at least three of them are just the leaders of the underground gangs, and they eventually died in the cells of the Metropolitan Penitentiary, whose interrogation records I have seen......"

"Tomorrow's Son...... Leader in the Metropolis Prophecy ...... This book is just nonsense...... There is no one in the city who can lead ......"

"Seventeen historic buildings in the metropolis...... Strangely, I didn't see this book last time I was here...... Wait, Locke Manor...... I should have thought of this a long time ago, damn it, they must have gone here!"

After about two hours, Holmes stood up, pointed to the address in the book, and said, "Let's go here as soon as possible, there is an 80 percent chance that they will stay here." ”

"Listen to you. ”

Ponsie didn't ask why, but walked straight behind Holmes and walked out together.

......

Locke Manor is not on Rogge Island, and is even close to the border of the Metropolis, located in the far northwest of the entire Metropolis, where Queens meets the state of New Jersey.

To get from Rogge Island to Locke Manor, you need to cross most of Rogge Island, the whole of Brooklyn, and nearly the whole of Queens, and the whole journey takes more than three hours.

After Holmes and Ponsei left the Beowulf Library, they hurried straight to Locke Manor, and along the way, they bought two quick food at the drive-in restaurant, which was considered lunch and dinner for the day.

Three hours later, the two finally arrived at the intersection of Metropolis and New Jersey - Rock Manor.

The Mesot Federation is vast and sparsely populated, with an area similar to that of China, but its population is only one-fifth of that of China, and land is not a scarce resource in this place, and because of this, there are many large landowners across states and counties.

The size of Locke Manor exceeded Ponche's expectations, with an area of more than thirty square kilometers, forests and rivers everywhere, and even the sighting of deer herds of wild animals, which opened Poncie's eyes.

On the outermost side of the manor, there was a ring of wooden fences, but they were unguarded, and the two of them didn't care, and directly knocked over the fence and drove inside.

"I thought there were no nobles anymore in this era......" Pang Xie looked at the scenery outside the car window, sighed and said, there are not many lords with such a large territory, even in ancient times.

"It's just that it's no longer on the surface, and the actual division is no different from history. Holmes said.

"Looks like you're feeling. Ponsie said.

"Yes, because of the progress of science and technology, the influence of material wealth is increasing, and the gap between different levels is getting bigger and bigger, even to the point that it is difficult for different classes to meet, I really can't imagine what it will be like in a few thousand years. Holmes said.

"Well, yes, Locke Manor is so big, and it is a private territory, as long as the people inside don't come out, the people outside won't be able to see them for the rest of their lives, then again, is Locke Manor a particularly large manor in the Mesot Federation?"

"Of course...... No, my estate in my hometown in Colora is much bigger than this place, and when I was a child, there was an archaeological team that did archaeology on my family's estate, and there were several important discoveries that were discovered in my hometown, and I was also fascinated by exploration at that time. ”

"Archaeology...... It turns out that you are a landlord......" Pang Xie was speechless for a while.

"No, I'm a squire. Holmes said without hesitation.

After passing through the fence, there is a narrow country road in front of you, which is also an asphalt road, but it is a little narrower and can only accommodate two cars in parallel.

After driving forward a short time, a hill appeared on the west side of the road, and Pang Xie suddenly said, "Stop a little, there's movement over there, let's go over." ”

"Good. Holmes said, then he took a gun from under his seat and stuffed it into his jacket, so skillfully that it looked like he'd done it hundreds of times.

"Can I bring a gun into a private domain?" asked Ponsei.

"It's better to stand in the courtroom than to lie in the morgue. Holmes replied.

A few minutes later, the two climbed the hill together, and then, they saw a very fantastic scene.

Just one or two kilometers away from the two of them, the two groups of people were in full swing.

There were about seven or eight of them, all wearing black stab-proof suits, helmets on their heads, sunglasses in front of their eyes, and covering the ground tightly, a bit like divers, but they were much more mobile than divers.

These people are extremely fast, and when they run, they even leave afterimages, holding sharp thin swords in their hands, flashing with light blue light, wielding them to conjure up many phantoms, and their physical fitness far exceeds that of ordinary people.

They were fought by three people, all three of whom were acquaintances of Ponsei.

The current one is Logan "Wolverine", who has a long-handled battle axe in his hand and slashes at several others.

His speed is not as fast as that of the man in black, but his strength is much greater, and he has some bold posture that is not afraid of death, and he actually presses the man in black to retreat.

Behind him was the "little reptile" Parker, who held two short swords, running fast, swinging rapidly, constantly colliding with the long sword in the hand of the man in black, exerting a "sonorous" collision sound, splashing a little spark.

Parker's speed is very fast, even above the man in black.

Standing between Parker and Logan was Tie Qingyu, different from the last time they met, on Tie Qingyu's head, two short horns had grown, about three inches long, just grown.

Tie Qingyu held a leather whip in his hand, and swung it quickly, constantly surrounding the three of them, blocking the attack of the man in black.

"Blue Wolf and White Deer ......" Pang Xie suddenly thought that Tie Xingyun had mentioned that his bloodline had been passed on.

"Oh, I didn't expect to see a fantasy show here!" Holmes exclaimed.

"You don't seem surprised at all?" said Ponsei strangely.

"Of course, if you dig through the top secret files of the Metropolitan Police Department, you will find that this kind of thing is nothing more than that, and there is nothing surprising about it, of course, provided that you are not caught by the file keepers, otherwise, they will lock you up for the rest of your life. Holmes said.
