"I said that President Marcus hasn't been out of the Red Fort for three full months. It's really troublesome to go there every time he asks for an interview." The smaller gunman said so. It seems that the conversation The two of them are also colleagues of the Sarleon Guild.
"Okay, don't complain. Although the president does not leave the castle, he can know the affairs of the world. Every time he gets a mission from him, the rewards are rich, rare and interesting. For these rewards, I will run a few more times. It's worth it, and I'm still looking forward to making a set of epic equipment." Another swordsman persuaded and responded.
"You're right. Thinking about it, I quit the guild that got up early and joined this fierce lion. It is known as the first guild in Manchester. Although there are not many people, the backing of the president is really too much." Powerful—the most important thing is that I can always get some rare tasks, which is a benefit that other guilds cannot ask for, at least in the previous guilds, I have never encountered such a good thing... "
The little gunman was talking in a babbling manner, and a character in a red robe and floor-length robe walked in through the exit, and as soon as he walked in, he yelled into the hall: "Ezra, Sid! Meet Marcus!" The president's time has come, please follow me into the castle!"
The two immediately ended their chat and walked forward, showing the guild jade token and black access card they had in their hands, and then followed the leader in red robes to the inner fort.

Zuo Ci stood with his back against the wall with his hands folded, recalling the content of the conversation between the two just now. They talked about the strange mission that President Marcus possessed, which reminded him of Anonymous, who was like a treasure chest of missions...
-
After waiting boredly for a while, Zuo Ci decided to wander around in other areas after thinking about it, but when he reached the exit of the waiting hall, he was stopped by the guards and asked routine questions. It was troublesome to think about it, but in the end he stayed in the corridor area, waiting for the appointment time with his black-feathered ostrich.
-
Estimating that the hour was approaching, Zuo Ci walked back to the waiting hall.
A quarter of an hour before the appointed time, the red-clothed robed attendant who led the way appeared again, summoned the name of Zuo Ci, confirmed the guild token and black pass card he had presented, and led the way to the depths of the Red Castle.
-
Through the exit door of the waiting hall, one enters another long area similar to a corridor area, at the end of which there is a long row of twenty-four elevator boxes used for lifting. The robed guard led the way to the third elevator box on the left hand side, pressed the switch, and the box door opened. The two entered and pressed the only button inside. After a while, they came to the upper floor. Opening the door is a slender and straight corridor. When you walk to the end, you will see a black iron gate with a height of three meters. There are iron rings on both sides of the door to push forward. Next, the door slowly opened.
At this moment, the red-robed guard retreated to one side, raised his right hand and made a "please" gesture, and Zuo Ci stepped forward without any hesitation.

This is another spacious circular room. On the ground there is a circle of totem patterns that look like the sun shining, and in the center there is a circular gathering. In the middle stands an older man holding a book, standing with his back to Zuo Ci. read.
"Zuo Ci, welcome to the Red Castle to report. I've been looking forward to seeing you in person." Sensing Zuo Ci's approach, President Marcus lowered the book in his hand, turned around slowly, and put his hooked nose under his nose. Her slightly pursed lips were slightly upturned, and a pair of gray-white eyes shone with shrewdness, staring directly at Zuo Ci's scrutinizing gaze.
"Hello, President." Zuo Ci responded indifferently.
"It's a long journey, and it's hard work for you to come all the way to the Red Castle. Although it's an unwritten guild rule that I meet every member of the Sarleon Guild one by one, there's no time limit. So, I guess, you've come all the way. You came here at full speed, could it be that you have something important to discuss with me?"
This meeting with President Marcus hit the nail on the head. Zuo Ci couldn't help being stunned for a second, but he still picked up his question and replied: "I happened to meet a large army from the guild on their way, and we went smoothly with them. After traveling to the Iron Fortress, and being reminded by Thrall, I came to the Red Castle to meet the president smoothly. But since I came here with twists and turns, of course, I don’t want to just see you in a hurry and return here. I still hope to get the president’s suggestion. Some help."
"Hehe, I treat all members of my Lions Guild as brothers and sisters. If you have any difficulties, please let me know." , I will briefly introduce the background of the entire guild, and then come to me when you reach your full level. I can help you choose the most suitable job transfer status, and I will also regularly assign you important guild tasks The stronger you are, the more things I can do to help you, but you seem to be at a low level now, so I can only listen to your needs and try my best to help."
"It's not a big deal." Zuo Ci still kept a calm expression on his face, "I'm just full of curiosity about this world, and I especially hope to learn more about this world from more historical materials and books. I heard Sal mention it. President, you seem to be in charge of the affairs of the Library Pavilion, so you want to ask the president to take me to the Library Pavilion to see the world, and to borrow some books."
As soon as these words came out, President Marcus's face immediately showed a look of embarrassment: "This library is a forbidden place, and important officials and officials need the approval of the king or the former Prime Minister to enter. The possibility of approval."
President Marcus's refusal made Zuo Ci's first plan fail, but he immediately threw out a second proposal: "In this case, I still hope to read more about this world, I don't know Chairman, can you lend me some books from the library?"
However, this proposal was still rejected by Marcus: "The books collected in the library are precious documents, and they are not for ordinary people to borrow."
Zuo Ci deliberately let out a long sigh at this time, and provocatively said: "It is said that the Sarleon Guild is the first guild in Manchester, and the president is almost omnipotent with the backing of Prime Minister Albert. If you want to borrow a few books, you can make the president feel so embarrassed. Then, the president will pretend that I have not mentioned this matter, and I will go to the brothers and sisters in the guild for advice."
As soon as Zuo Ci said this, Marcus' face immediately changed slightly. He pondered for a while, and finally said: "It is true that the books in Zangshuge cannot be borrowed, but if any book is lost, I will bear a huge burden. Responsibility. However, I can provide another way, that is, you can come to this room regularly, and I will give you the borrowed books to read, but you cannot take the books out of this room for half a step, how about this?"
Marcus made this step of compromise, which was enough for Zuo Ci to proceed with the next plan, so he nodded and agreed without hesitation, and thanked him aloud: "Thank you, President, then how about I come over to study tomorrow, is that okay?"
"Of course you can, but I have something to do every day, so I can't accompany you to study. You will come at this time tomorrow. I will order someone to hand over the book to you, and then order it back after an hour. Remember, do not destroy the book Steal the book, or you will be thrown into the dungeon under the thick rock, and you will suffer in the days to come."
"Understood." Zuo Ci responded without hesitation, "Keep the president's explanation in mind."
