Next, for Richard, it was a long wait.
Wait, wait, wait.
During the process, Richard ate the food brought by Princess Ruth, drank the fruit drink, and took time to enter the Garden of Eden to guide Pandora on her latest study and work tasks.
After doing this, until evening, candles were lit in the lounge, but Princess Ruth was still not seen.
Richard almost really believed that Princess Ruth ran away to evade responsibility. After all, the other party now had full motives.
At this moment, footsteps sounded outside.
"Da da da… "
"Creak" the door opened, and Princess Ruth strode in. At this time, her eyes seemed to have been cried, and they were as red and swollen as ripe peaches, and there was a red mark on her forehead, as if she had been "educated" with a ruler, a short wooden stick or something like that.
Richard looked at Princess Ruth and asked directly: "Did you get the key?"
Princess Ruth glared at Richard and said angrily: "Key, key, just know the key! Which is more important, me or the key? Shouldn't you care about me instead of caring about the key? You see me like this now , shouldn’t I ask you first what I’ve been through, whether I’ve been beaten, and then ask you for the damn keys?”
"But... we don't seem to be very familiar with each other, right, Princess Ruth? In addition, in my opinion, the key is obviously more important than you, so of course I have to care about the key." Richard said frankly, Princess Lu Si almost choked to death after hearing this.
Glancing at Princess Ruth's face, Richard continued: "Speaking of which, you looked like this, you couldn't really have been caught stealing keys, right? And then you were given a hard education? Then..."
Princess Ruth's expression became embarrassed, and the next moment she stamped her foot fiercely and shouted: "You have to take care of it! As long as you know, I have got the key, now, this is it!"
As she spoke, Princess Ruth took out a simple brass key and shook it with her hand. Under the light in the lounge, the brass key shines like gold, dazzling.
Richard took a look and responded calmly: "If you had taken out this key as soon as you entered the door, there wouldn't have been so many things."
Princess Ruth: "..." She was so angry that she had the urge to bite Richard hard, but she felt that she couldn't bite him... well, she couldn't beat him, so she gave up.
Taking a deep breath, Princess Ruth adjusted her emotions and spoke to Richard: "My father said that the key can be given and the library can be entered, but there are requirements. First of all, those who enter the library must be members of the royal family."
"Huh?" Richard looked at Princess Ruth, "Why, do you want me to go in under the name of your fiancé number you don't know? In this way, I am indeed a member of the royal family."
"What a beautiful thought!" Princess Ruth said loudly, "Even if I die, I will never let you be my fiancé, no matter what the number is!"
"Then how do you meet this condition?"
"It's very simple. Although you are not a member of the royal family, I am, and I am a direct bloodline. Therefore, I will take you in together. I will supervise your behavior throughout the process and ensure that you will not mess with the things inside." Princess Ruth was serious. The way.
"But didn't you originally want to go in? Does it make any difference?"
"Stupid, of course there is a difference." Princess Ruth shouted, "Before, I just wanted to go in and take a look, give up my curiosity, and then come out and let you read slowly inside. After all, I don't like to hold back. It's inside. What's so good about reading? No matter what you do, it's more interesting than reading, right
But that's not possible now. I have to stay with you all the time and can't let you leave my sight, so it's impossible to come out just because I want to. understand? ! "
"That's right." Richard nodded, "Then there are other conditions, right?"
"Yes, of course there are other conditions. That is, your time in the library is limited. You are only allowed to read for one night. You will leave at dawn tomorrow."
"One night?" Richard thought: If he can find the knowledge he wants in the library, just one night should be enough. Even if he can't understand it, just use a special method to memorize it, sort it out after leaving, and slowly digest it.
Thinking of this, Richard said: "Okay."
"That's good." Princess Ruth said, "Then let's set off. The carriage is waiting outside. Get on the carriage and go directly to the palace, and then go to my father's private library."
"Okay." Richard didn't hesitate. After all, time was limited. He would save what he could and followed Princess Ruth out.
…
Walking outside, there was indeed an exclusive carriage waiting. Richard and Princess Ruth got on it. The carriage started quickly under the control of the groom, passing through the streets in Williams City and driving into the spectacular palace building. group.
Afterwards, Richard got off the carriage, led by Princess Ruth, and entered an old-looking palace in the palace. Go to the end of the palace and stop in front of a smooth wall.
"This is it." Princess Ruth pointed to the wall in front of her and said to Richard, "Behind is my father's private library. My father told me that there are many, very messy, and connected books hidden in it. Information that he himself cannot confirm is true or false. In order to prevent it from spreading and causing confusion, it cannot be seen by others and must be protected. Of course, tonight, you are an exception."
"Next, get ready and read your books carefully." Princess Ruth said, taking the key and walking to the corner, groping for a while, "According to what my father said, the place to open it should be... Well, I found it, here!”
Princess Ruth's tone was slightly mentioned, followed by the sound of a "click" as the key turned.
"boom!"
As the key is turned, the middle part of the wall is pushed outward, revealing a narrow door for one person to pass through.
"Go in." Princess Ruth said.
"Okay." Richard walked in without hesitation, followed by Princess Ruth.
When Richard walked into the door, he saw that the library was extremely bright, but there was no smoke or dust, because the lighting was not oil lamps or candles, but numerous crystals inlaid on the walls.
Yes, crystal!
The crystal is translucent and is a specialty of the East Coast, called solar crystal. This crystal can be charged with sunlight during the day and then release light in the dark. Compared with lighting methods such as oil lamps and candles, it has countless advantages. Even compared to the electric lights in the Garden of Eden, they have the advantages of cleanliness and energy saving.
However, solar crystal is more fragile than glass, and the price is very high, and many nobles cannot afford it. Now being placed in large numbers here can only mean one thing - the Black Holy Mountain Kingdom is very rich, and the king of the Black Holy Mountain Kingdom is very rich!
Well, very rich!
