CH.16 Grave's Help (I)

"Library. Passionate and fiery picture feast tu.duoyou.me/" zero light spit three words.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness Princess, please repeat it. The accompanying guards said they didn't hear clearly.

"I'm going to the library. ”

"This ......" the guard was a little embarrassed.

"I'm not going to run, you can follow up. ”

"Okay. In the end, the guards chose to compromise, and they were ordered to ensure Princess Icarus's personal safety while accommodating her requests as much as possible.

Accompanied by the guards, Zero arrives at the Royal Library. It is located beneath the palace, further down than where Leonard was imprisoned. From there, of course, it is impossible to go down, and it is necessary to pass through the only passage on the ground. Despite its large collection of books, it is bright and spacious, but once the only exit is blocked, it becomes a real secret room. There is another way to enter and exit, and that is to teleport the magic array. One end is located in the middle of the Great Library, while the other end is connected to the Emperor's study.

The guards did not follow the princess Icarus in his eyes, but simply stood guard outside the gate at the end of the passage. In his opinion, it was extremely rude to disturb the princess's reading.

[Whew! I'm finally here, where can I find so many things?]

A near-infinite number of books were neatly stacked on the old shelves, and these shelves, which were three people tall, filled the space.

"Despite the lack of movement on the surface, there are so many books on science here!" Zero was taken aback as books like "Mechanical Teleportation" were placed on this shelf, and there was even "The History of Liber's Industry" in it.

"Ningyue Empire...... Sure enough, you can't underestimate it. "Zero began to search, compared to his own situation, Ai Xue's side is more dangerous. The contractual connection seems to be still there, but the communication is directly blocked by the inhibition force. Now Zero has no way of knowing Ai Xue's condition, and the only thing he can do is pray silently in his heart.

"Your Highness, the people have brought it. The guards brought Ai Xue to Grave, waiting for the next order.

"Very well, you can go down. The person in the seat did not raise his head, and directly issued a severance order, "I want to talk to His Excellency Leonard alone." ”

"Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, I also have this intention. Ai Xue said in imitation of Leonard's tone. Originally, the mirror technique could not change the voice, but Lena improved this magic in her studies, and even the voice could be imitated with the help of water vapor, which was worthy of the name of "genius".

When all the guards had retreated, Grave rose from his seat and locked the door himself.

"Who are you?" Ai Xue was a little confused, such a thing, if it was done by herself, it would be considered in the past, but the other party is the second prince, this is someone else's territory, you can do everything above board, and you don't need to hide it.

But then, something even more surprising happened! Grave pulled the chair he was sitting in from behind his desk and placed it behind Axie.

"Sit down. Grave smiled and said gently.

Ai Xue suddenly felt that this scene was extremely incongruous, but it was difficult to refuse, so she could only sit down. She had time to take a closer look at the room.

With its snow-white walls, quaint desks and chairs, and a variety of books neatly arranged on the shelves, it's easy to see that the owner of the room is a lover of minimalist style. And this second prince, Grave, gave Ai Xue the opposite impression of Olivier. Not only the character, but also the appearance. Grave's appearance is extremely rugged, with a beard, and he does not look like a distinguished member of the royal family at all. But his words and actions were always full of aristocratic elegance, which made Ai Xue completely unsure what kind of person he was.

"A lot of people say we're brothers alike, and you think so?" Grave saw Leonard's confusion, "Your eyes reveal what you're thinking." ”

Ai Xue didn't answer immediately, Grave, who can spy on people's hearts, is obviously an extremely terrifying being, and he is afraid that he will show his feet if he is not careful.

"Are you afraid?" Grave looked at Essher with amusement, "Are you afraid that your companions will not be able to escape this impregnable siege?" I've asked my men to give the army a secret order not to stop Leonard and His Highness Icarus even if they see it, but judging from the current situation, it's probably me who did something superfluous on my own, hehe. ”

Ignoring Grave's laughter, Ai Xue hurriedly asked, "Did you want to let us go?"

"Of course, this is also what my father meant. ”

"What?!"

"Olivier is still too young for him to see where my father and I stand. You don't need to know about the internal affairs of the royal family, anyway, Olivier used you to make a loss-making deal this time, which can be regarded as a lesson for him. It's youβ€”" Greve continued, "and keep some secret here." ”

"I don't understand what you mean. Ai Xue replied bluntly.

"To be honest, I don't really like this kind of communication. Introduce yourself, Grave Ningyue, the second in line to the throne of the Empire, a level 8 water magister, and a summoner. It's your turn, Leader of the Snow Breeze, Miss Ai Xue. ”

"What else do you want me to say? You already know everything you need to know. Ai Xue replied coldly, and at the same time lifted her disguise. The initial fears were not groundless, and Grave had already recognized that he was a fake Leonard.

"How's Zero?" Ai Xue began to worry.

"She's fine, currently reading quietly in the underground library. Grave pulled out a magic crystal ball that showed the effects of Icarus holding a book and leaning against the shelf.

"Now, what are you going to do with us?" Ai Xue continued to ask.

"You don't seem to have answered my question, the real purpose of your stay. If you want to leave this palace, you have a chance, but you choose to stay. Your companion went to the library, and I guess you need some kind of information. If you don't mind, you can sue me, and I will help you unconditionally. ”

"I don't believe you'll be so generous. ”

"Because you have a very special aura in you. As a summoner, I already have the strongest summoned beast, the dragon. Unlike the Dragon Knight, we have the same heart, even if the opponent is a level 9 warrior or mage, I will not have the slightest timidity. My mother is a descendant of the greatest summoner, Yuna Reska, and although she is not a great summoner, I inherited the best summoner talent from her. I broke into the Dragon Valley alone like Greek, and got the approval of the dragons, and got the opportunity to sign a contract with the dragons. However, I was not satisfied with this, I tried to find the legendary creatures, but all failed. ”

"What does this have to do with me?" Ai Xue was puzzled.

"You've made a contract summoning in the palace! It made me change my mind for a momentβ€”I'm going to keep you for a talk anyway. ”

"Is it because of the inhibition force?"

"Yes, I'm curious that you managed to use the Contract Summoning in this situation. Even I couldn't use summoning magic under the hindrance of inhibition. Grave paused deliberately, "So I'm guessing it's not an ordinary high-level magical beast, but the legendary immortal bird, Phoenix." ”
