Bai Yan was looking down at the book in his hands, with a calm and serious expression on his face, as if he was reading some academic work, rather than a best-selling novel recently passed down from Dolly Union.
Xiao Zhi glanced at the contents of the book and felt his scalp go numb: "..."
Is the content so exciting
Not knowing what expression to use to face this novel, he cautiously glanced at Frost beside him.
Hmm... I can't see anything through the helmet.
There was embarrassment in the air.
Fortunately, at this moment, Senior Brother Bai Yan is not aware of the subtle embarrassment in the air, and is enjoying the joy of reading.
He didn't know that Xiao Zhi was the clerk, and he didn't expect Lord Hesse to sneak into the book tower, so he naturally didn't know that the two protagonists in the book were standing in front of him at this moment.
The tough ten minutes finally passed, and Bai Yan closed the book in his hand contentedly: "So they ended up like that..."
Xiao Zhi was a little curious, wanting to know what exactly "that's like that" meant, but reason told him, it's better not to know, sometimes the happiness of human beings comes from the protection of ignorance.
Resisting his own curiosity, Xiao Zhi forcibly held back without asking.
Bai Yan stood up, carefully put the book back to its original position, and arranged it according to the original angle.
Following his movements, Xiao Zhi found that there were still many books on this bookshelf, such as "The Indescribable Things of Hesse", "What should I do if the lord loves me every night?" "," Unbridled Love: 100 Little Secrets About Clerks and Lords"...
Xiao Zhi felt goosebumps on his skin: "..."
Why has the story of the two of them become a bestseller? What are these tiger and wolf words! ! !
He quickly looked away, pretending he hadn't seen anything.
Blaise's Book Tower is a scary place to be...
After cleaning up the traces of his past, Bai Yan whispered to Xiao Zhi, "Sorry for keeping you waiting for so long."
He turned to look at Frost who had been silent all the time: "This is?"
Xiao Zhi introduced him: "This is Ethan, my friend, a knight."
Bai Yan nodded: "It's a pleasure to meet you."
Frost remained silent, but nodded to him in greeting.
Seeing Ethan's actions, Bai Yan guessed that this person was probably not a player. However, in the world of ZERO, it is very common for players to make friends with mainland residents. Seeing that they are so tightly guarded, there may be some little secrets. It is better for him not to pay too much attention.
After a short greeting, Bai Yan pulled up the cap of his cloak to cover his head and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the upper floors."
After finishing speaking, Bai Yan raised his hand and bestowed a blessing of wind on the three of them, which made the three of them move faster. Then he looked around, estimated the time of inspection, and stepped out of the cover of the bookcase first. .
Xiao Zhi and Frost followed Bai Yan all the way.
Bai Yan led the people skillfully through the book tower, advancing almost non-stop, every time he took a position to avoid the patrolling paladins, and even had time to browse the nearby bookshelves to see if there were any bookshelves that he felt comfortable with. book of interest.
That smooth movement and leisurely posture can be seen as a habitual offender.
With Bai Yan's leadership, Xiao Zhi and Frost's speed increased a lot, and they moved forward quickly.
I have come to the 1050th floor.
Suddenly, Bai Yan raised his hand to signal the two to stop.
But at this moment, there is obviously no one in front.
Bai Yan said in a low voice: "From here on, the way of patrolling is different from before, someone will come soon."
Almost as soon as the words were spoken, a group of paladins walked over in neat steps. Compared with the paladins on the previous floor, the movements of this group are obviously more unified, the footsteps are almost the same, and the uniforms on their bodies are also different from the previous ones. They look much more advanced, and even the weapons are different. It's common stuff.
The three of them hid in an inconspicuous position, quietly waiting for someone to pass by.
After the paladins disappeared from sight, Bai Yan led them through that section of the road.
Bai Yan said casually: "Did you see the weapons in their hands? They were recently developed by Blaise. Although they are not as good as those made by masters, they are as powerful as ordinary advanced weapons. Moreover, they can be mass-produced."
Bai Yan just said it casually as an ordinary talk, but Xiao Zhi felt slightly startled.
These weapons are not common in other parts of the mainland. Generally, materials are specially prepared and then ordered by blacksmiths. The requirements for materials and blacksmiths are not low. Ordinary materials cannot reach the strength required by advanced weapons.
But now, Blaise can actually be mass-produced
Xiao Zhi couldn't help asking: "How did they do it?"
Bai Yan thought for a while: "It is said that Bryce has been secretly researching the Yixi Mine for a hundred years, and wants to research more ways to use it, not just as a fuel for transportation. Probably they have researched something new It may not be many years before this continues, and the mainland will enter a new era."
He added: "Of course, these are rumors I've heard, and my personal guesses, and haven't seen the actual factory."
Hearing this, four words crossed Xiao Zhi's mind - Industrial Revolution.
In Dazemenya, a continent dominated by magic and various unscientific forces, is the power of science going to be born? Isn't it in the Dolly Alliance with the most developed trade and the most active atmosphere, but in the most closed, traditional, conservative, and theocracy-dominated Brace Empire
No matter how you think about it, this combination is very incredible.
Frost still didn't say a word, but Xiao Zhi, who was familiar with him, noticed that his pace slowed down slightly. This was a movement that Frost would only make when he was thinking. Presumably, the two of them were thinking about the same thing at the moment.
Bai Yan led the two of them to a white wall: "Here we are."
Xiao Zhi's thoughts were interrupted, he raised his head and looked forward, seeing only an empty white wall in front of him.
Bai Yan stretched out his hand towards the wall, skillfully drew a symbol on the wall, and whispered "Greatta" in his mouth, and then, a dark hole suddenly appeared on the originally smooth and flat wall .
Bai Yan stepped into the cave, then waved at the two of them, motioning them to follow.
When all three of them entered the wall, the hole in the wall disappeared instantly, and the wall returned to its previous flat appearance.
The wall was pitch black, and Bai Yan took out a bead for lighting. The bead exuded a warm yellow light and floated slightly in front of him. It looked warm and cute, and it was completely different from the soul lamp.
"You can talk freely here, don't worry, your voice won't be heard," Bai Yan said.
Xiao Zhi looked at the world inside the wall, it was like a labyrinth, full of forks and turns: "Brother, you made this up?"
Bai Yan shook his head: "Where can I come up with such a big project, I guess it might be done by people inside Brace, they have this kind of time and opportunity. This road has been opened for a long time, but I've never met anyone in it, and I don't know if the person who made the tunnel in the first place is still there."
Xiao Zhi thought of the name Bai Yan said before: "Do you know Greyata?"
Relating to the previously known status and experience of Greyata, Xiao Zhi guessed that this passage might have been opened by Archbishop Greyata's loyal subordinates after his disappearance, perhaps to deal with Andre who suddenly became Pope.
It's just that Andre has been sitting on the Pope's throne safely and securely, and finally died. Presumably, the actions of these people were not successful, and they even failed to leave traces in the history books.
They just disappeared quietly, just like Greata.
Bai Yan said: "I know, the things related to this person are quite strange. According to Blaise's habit, archbishops of this level will have an exclusive biography, which will record the life of the archbishop in detail, praise their piety, and pass it on to future generations. It was used to inspire the disciples who came later.”
"But Greata did not. Even in the biographies of people related to him at that time, the content related to him was very vague. If you can write it down, you will never write a sentence. There is almost a little legend left about this person. It is difficult Piecing together his life."
Xiao Zhi: "According to the usual practice, we usually call this kind of situation—there is an inside story."
Bai Yan smiled: "Are you also interested in him?"
Xiao Zhi nodded: "Recently I checked some information about Blaise, and I am very interested in the matter between him and Pope Andre."
Bai Yan stroked his chin and thought for a while, then said, "In this case, junior brother, you can go to a place to have a look. I found a hidden entrance in Sunila Town, which is located in an abandoned church. On the night of the full moon At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, you can go in with a bunch of white Musa flowers."
"This is a Nixi region, and it will reappear in time. The content in it should be related to Greyata's disappearance, but the perspective is different every time you enter it. You need to piece together the truth yourself. If you are unlucky, you may lose everything." Can't find it."
Nixiyu is the mainland's name for recurring dungeons. It refers to the kind of dungeons that can be automatically reset for various reasons. People can participate in them, but they can't change the plot in the dungeons. It is similar to the most traditional game dungeons.
Bai Yan looked at Xiao Zhi: "However, I still hope that my junior brother can keep it a secret. This copy is currently only known to us who are good at Rushui, and there is no rumor about it."
Xiao Zhi said, "Just tell me that, okay?"
Bai Yan: "Let's take it as a thank you for your previous contributions. If it weren't for you, I guess we would have lost miserably this year, and we wouldn't be able to enjoy the present happiness."
After finishing speaking, a smile floated on Bai Yan's face, with a little satisfaction and black belly. I don't know if he thought of the bad luck of everyone in the mecha department this year.
Xiao Zhi smiled and said, "Then thank you, senior brother."
Unexpectedly, the Freshmen Friendship Tournament can bring unexpected gains.
The three continued to move forward, and Bai Yan suddenly asked: "I don't seem to have asked, what are you planning to do at the top of the book tower?"
Xiao Zhi told him the scene he saw in Gladys Town by the way, and said, "Don't you think it's very interesting?"
Bai Yan also became interested: "That's true, people can't help but want to keep investigating."
In terms of killing, the Athanasis have always been unique.
Bai Yan smiled slightly: "If you want to explore the secrets of the Book Tower, I have thought of a good place."
Xiao Zhi and Frost followed Bai Yan in the passage, and finally stopped at a place. This place is slightly different from other places. There is a shimmering magic circle in the sky, and I don't know what it is for.
Bai Yan explained: "Here you can monitor a quiet room in the book tower. Generally speaking, the quiet room is a place for bishops to meditate or feel enlightened, but in this kind of hidden space, something special will always happen. "
Xiao Zhi: "For example?"
Bai Yan smiled: "Last time I saw two bishops dating here."
Xiao Zhi: "..."
It was really special and exciting enough.
Bai Yan's smile remained unchanged: "Last time, the three bishops found out that their lovers were actually the same person. The three confronted each other for a while, and then fought. The battle was quite fierce. One of the bishops' pants was ripped off. The pants are still in the style of small florals."
Xiao Zhi: "..."
Brother, so you are actually such a gossip character
Thinking about it carefully, he had already revealed the clues in the way he watched the fanfiction of Lord Hesse and the clerk with great interest.
