It was already late at night outside the library...
There is still a group of soldiers standing guard outside. Although this large library in the capital is open to the public, part of it is still a place exclusively for the country's scholars. The information they have involves many areas of the country. As for the maps and resources, it is impossible to make them public, so it still needs people to guard it.
"Should we go in?" Lucille asked Sean for his opinion on the roof.
It was too easy for the two of them to enter this library with almost no defense, but their identities were some obstacles. Not to mention Sean... If a prince was discovered, he wouldn't know how to explain it, and he didn't want Sister Rachel to know about this.
Both of them had concerns, but they had to come here.
"Of course. Don't worry, there are only a few of us. I believe in your ability." Seeing the [Worry!] above the other person's head, Sean seemed to understand what Lucille was thinking.
As long as you are not discovered, everything will be fine. Why should an Orderer above level 18 worry about these things!
"Let's go, you take action first." Sean said suddenly.
At this moment, Lucille, who was behind him, also called out to her crow Barry who had always been with her. Sean still remembered this name. He had used him to deliver messages many times in the past.
"Don't alarm the others."
"Do I need you to remind me... Don't forget that I am your mentor."
Only at this moment would Lucille show her mentoring skills. If it were in the past, Sean might have listened, but after going through the other's childhood experiences, he could only laugh at such words.
Watching the ravens fly towards the two soldiers dozing at the door...
【Sleeping~】
Lucille muttered a spell, and then there was a sound of someone falling to the ground below.
"Okay, let's go down."
The two jumped in front of the guard soldier who was sleeping on the ground. In the distance, another group of patrolling soldiers were about to pass by... They quickly used magic to open the door of the library. The two of them entered in an instant and then closed it again. Lucille controlled Barry outside and used magic to wake the two of them up again.
"Hey, why did you fall asleep?"
"Don't you also..." The conversation between the two people could still be heard through the door.
"Alright, alright, someone's coming. Stand still. Why are there still crows here?... It's bad luck. Go!"
Perhaps because Barry was driven away, a crow's cry was heard outside the door, getting farther and farther away. However, it was precisely because of this very ordinary action that the soldiers behind the door did not suspect that someone had entered.
At this time, Sean glanced at Lucille beside him.
"It can be seen that you are a habitual offender, instructor." The series of actions were performed without any instructions. Many people would just move people away after sneaking in and would not necessarily wake them up.
Sean remembered that when the rebels of the Bashalan Empire raided his Earl's Mansion, no one noticed them because they sneaked in, and he never thought about having to deal with them!
"Hmph, are you laughing at me? If it weren't for me, you would have had to force your way in. Whether you would be discovered or not is another matter." Lucille rolled her eyes at Sean.
"How could that be? I asked you to come because I trust your ability."
Part of it is flattery, and part of it is praise.
The one who would be accompanying him was Frelia. Although she was also very strong in combat, she wasn't as experienced as Lucille in sneak attacks and theft. She was more adept at dealing with high-ranking officials and nobles...
"Stop talking nonsense. Do you think I can't hear that you are mocking me? Let me tell you. These skills are what I have acquired through more than ten years of survival. Even if you want me to teach you, with your aristocratic IQ, you probably won't be able to learn them even if you study for a few more years." Lucille said confidently.
"Then you have to teach me more. I want to learn all kinds of skills!"
Perhaps it was because of the timeline twenty years ago that Sean had a changed impression of the man in front of him who was both his mentor and his disciple. He no longer spoke to him in a reserved manner as before, and even respected his seniority.
"Stop talking nonsense. What on earth are you doing here? Will this be the answer we want?"
Lucille's question made Sean suddenly serious, and he just relied on his memory from yesterday to look for it.
"I can't give you a definite answer, but I think the answer still lies here..."
This was the answer Occam gave him more than 20 years ago, but he only solved it today. At that time, the events created by Meredith happened too quickly, and were mainly aimed at his mother Ayla at that time, so Sean felt that it was meaningless to look for that thing. Unexpectedly, more than 20 years later, he still wanted to find the answer because of it.
Abdullah's manuscript mentioned the alchemist's stone, so there should also be the wine of immortality. Moreover, this page is only half, so there should be the other half.
Sean really didn't expect that this thing would be still important more than 20 years later!
Look at the rooftop. Since animals have different vision than humans, he needs to find the same spot as the owl and the mouse yesterday. He walks to the bookshelf and squats down to see where the mouse was yesterday...
"What are you doing?"
"Find a spot."
"What position?" Lucille asked in confusion.
Just then, Sean noticed the place where the moonlight was coming in. Yes, that's where it was yesterday.
I ran over to the bookshelf opposite and turned around to see the pillar.
"Found it."
With a bang, the fireworks in his hand ignited, and Sean slowly moved the flames closer to the pillar in front of him.
Sure enough, no one can see so comprehensively using the animal's vision... Yesterday, in the eyes of the mouse, I thought it was a pillar supporting the house, but now I realize that it is standing alone on the side wall, almost connected to the wall, so it feels like it supports the house but exists independently.
There are densely packed small characters engraved on it, corresponding to each book here. All the books in the big library will be marked with numbers at the footer and placed in the corresponding position.
If you can't find it, look here...
The manager yesterday should have found the placement here.
"Is this the secret you mentioned?"
"Yes, that's the secret..." Sean replied.
The numbers left by Occam were not recorded in those books, because there were many people coming and going in the great library of the imperial capital, and it was possible that someone would discover them and take them away.
But if it is replaced with a fixed number that will not change, it should be the pillar in front of you.
Sean tapped...
It looks like wood but its internal structure is as hard as metal.
Looking closely, I saw a sign that said "Alchemical Product".
