Chapter 129: The Advantages of the Lanqi Tribe Are Reflected

Lichtens Castle.

The hands of the cathedral clock had just passed nine-thirty.

This morning, everyone had returned to the mansion from the edge of the cliff and came to the library on the second floor.

Despite various magical investigations, there were no particularly secret compartments or mechanisms in the castle that needed to be deciphered, and the detective had previously skipped all possible clues.

But there might be some useful historical background information in the owner's room and the library-like book room.

For example, this mysterious era that no one can understand, the relationship between vampires and humans, and the relevant records of the Honing Empire.

Even if it doesn't help decipher this shadow world.

It can be recorded and shared by the South Continent Film World Association with many researchers to analyze this important history.

Except for Lanci and Hyperion who stayed together, the other challengers still stayed in groups of three and kept a relatively safe distance from each other.

Lanqi walked leisurely to the window and pulled open the red velvet curtains. The natural light shone on the wood grain of the dark brown bookshelf, much clearer than in the early morning.

The dull gold-plated characters on the covers of the ancient books regained their luster under the sunlight.

As the sunlight penetrates, the air in the library becomes fresher, mixed with the scent of ink and candles. It seems as if you can hear the whispers of the books, telling the stories they record that have been forgotten by history.

"Since we all agree to gather some information before waiting for Mr. Detective to come back, let's look for books about vampires first."

Lanqi stood by the window, basking in the sunlight behind him, and spoke to everyone.

Although there is no longer an absolute leader like the detective, it seems that among the two most trustworthy people at present, the [Geologist] Young Master of the Chamber of Commerce is not very reliable. Only the [Detective]'s companion, the [Lawyer], seems to be more stable.

But it is precisely this calm temperament that makes people instinctively feel that he is a little dangerous.

He always had a faint and calm smile on his face. Compared to arriving at a castle full of murderous intent, he gave people the feeling that he was really on vacation in a luxury mansion.

"I have a suggestion, burn all these books."

At this moment, a female voice sounded from behind. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was the noble girl of the Krei Empire who had not expressed any opinions before who spoke.

In this team of warrior, mage and priest, the female knight next to the noble girl just looked at her, and the young priest became more timid when he felt the gazes of the crowd.

"Since the detective found the answer by bypassing all the mechanisms, then these original mechanisms are of little benefit to us. If we destroy them all, we might even cause the betrayer to lose more critical intelligence."

The noble girl from the Krei Empire continued to add in a firm voice.

Everyone fell silent. After thinking about it carefully, they realized that what she said did make sense.

"But it is also possible that these books only contain information that is useful to the challenger. Especially for the other mission target, I think it would be better for everyone to quickly screen the books related to the vampires."

The priest headed by the Church of the Goddess of Destiny in the Northern Continent spoke hesitantly, seeming to be more supportive of Lanqi's decision.

There was a moment of silence in the library.

Now it is just a question of whether to gamble or not.

If we take a chance and destroy the books, we might also be able to destroy the information about the betrayers' mission targets.

"I personally am very opposed to the act of burning books...but let's just vote on it."

Lanqi spread his hands like a peacemaker, as if anything was fine as long as everyone could solve the problem calmly.

Soon, the three clergymen from the Northern Continent expressed their opposition to the burning of books. They attached great importance to the intelligence about the vampires in ancient times.

Hyperion naturally supported Ranch unconditionally, and like Ranch, she also reserved her opinion on the book.

Only three people from the Cremon Empire supported the burning of books.

The young master of the Chamber of Commerce looked at both sides and originally wanted to be cool and burn the books, but after thinking about it, he felt that the opinions of Lanqi and several clergymen were more stable, so he chose to keep the books. The guard siblings did not say anything, which meant more like abstention from voting, or in other words, whatever they voted would not affect the result.

In the end, the conservatives were in the majority, and after the vote, no one complained. They all started looking for books together, almost in groups of five or six, moving between the bookshelves without losing sight of each other.

From time to time, they would lower their heads to search on the pages of a book, and then look up to wander around the bookshelves. The sound of the pages turning, accompanied by the occasional low whispers, made time pass quickly.

Lanqi said nothing, gently touching the spines of the books with his fingertips, as if having a silent conversation with the knowledge.

He opened a book and read through it page by page, his eyes focused and deep.

Hyperion secretly observed Lanci's expression.

She always felt that Lanqi seemed to be more certain of something after the previous vote, but she couldn't tell what exactly he was planning.

…

So everyone spent the whole morning searching for books in the library.

Each suspected key book must pass through the hands of at least two different groups of challengers to ensure that no one obscures the intelligence.

Until almost noon.

I don't know who opened the book first, causing everyone's [Mission Objective 2: Explore the secrets and crises hidden in the castle] to change at the same time.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

An additional note was added: [A core piece of intelligence has been collected, waiting to be interpreted].

Everyone looked at each other and found that the young master of the Chamber of Commerce was flipping through an ancient book with demonic characters engraved on the cover. He was looking at everyone with a confused look on his face.

"It records an ancient sealing technique. Gathering the power of the sun, moon and stars can generate a powerful and eternal sealing force. Similarly, to break this seal, you need to collect fresh blood from the moon and stars as a guide, and then you can reverse the seal when avoiding the sun."

The young master of the Chamber of Commerce quickly turned the pages and read the key content to everyone with a confused expression, "This is a magic book. I can't understand the specific magic content. Does anyone know the sealing technique?"

The twin guards behind him were silent. It was obvious that they were assassins and only knew a few spells.

Not to mention the Sealing Technique, a type of magic that even professional wizards are only rarely proficient in.

People's attention could not help but focus on the wizard girl from the Krei Empire and the priest from the Northern Continent.

These two are almost the only ones who have the greatest hope of understanding it.

"I'm not good at sealing magic."

The priest shook his head in shame.

There are actually not many priests in today's era who are good at sealing techniques.

Moreover, in the Northern Continent, the Sealing Technique is even a notorious magic, all because of the heinous acts of massacre of civilians committed by Bishop Asksan of Annihilation.

"I understand a little bit, let me see it."

The wizard girl who led the Krelian Empire team nodded, walked towards the young master of the Chamber of Commerce and took the book from his hand.

But she flipped through the book quickly until she reached the last page and just shook her head helplessly.

"A lot of the content in this book is compiled using demonic magic, or in other words, a type of magic that has not yet fully evolved into human magic."

The Imperial Mage Girl said.

According to legend, humans did not know how to use magic in the beginning. It was not until the devil taught magic to humans that humans began to possess the power of magic.

However, the theory that excessive use of demonic magic will cause humans to become deformed, crazy, and even monsters has been confirmed even in modern times.

After a long period of evolution, ancient magicians of mankind gradually improved and created the earliest human magic text, which allowed humans to use magic normally without paying a huge price.

The magic text in this ancient book is still in a transitional stage between demonic magic text and human magic text.

Not only can humans not understand it, even demons may not be able to understand it.
