Could it be that...
Sean subconsciously touched the corresponding numbers on the pillars according to the numbers he remembered.
The flash of light in a blink of an eye made both of them stunned.
"This thing...can light up?" Lucille [curious!] wanted to press it, but Sean immediately held her hand back as soon as she reached out.
"Don't move, otherwise you will mess up the password I entered." Sean said, turning his head.
That's right, it felt like entering a password! Lucille was probably curious, while he was wondering where to start his complaints... Over twenty years ago, the numbers Occam left behind weren't just puzzles, but the simplest input passwords.
That’s it?
How could anyone have tried this in over 20 years? I felt instantly dumbed down.
If it was an organization, it would be easy to say, after all, not everyone dares to move these works left by our ancestors. But this is a large library after all, with so many people coming here every day and for more than 20 years. Even the book recording the numbers has been sent to the imperial city, but no one is curious enough to try it.
You follow the rules too much!
Sean shook his head helplessly and continued to enter the password in his memory. There were more than twenty sets of data in a series. In fact, it would take a lot of time to find them all... It seems that even bored people would not actually try to enter the password.
There are so many people watching during the day, and there are people guarding the door at night.
Occam probably calculated this point back then, so he was so confident in leaving the secret in the imperial capital. The most dangerous place is the safest place.
When the last character was lit up, the pillar in front of the two people changed...
【Alchemical Products】
The internal structure could be anything. The light that appears when you click on it must be a setting within itself, like a machine...
As expected of a product of alchemists, even this aspect is almost as good as those of mechanics, or even better than them!
The two watched as the pillars opened layer by layer, like a sophisticated mechanism, and in the center finally appeared what they had been waiting for: a box.
"Sure enough, there is something."
"Wait a minute!" Lucille was about to go forward to get it excitedly but was stopped by Sean.
"You can't touch something that has been covered in dust for so long."
Sean looked at the other alchemical array inside the pillar. Since it was not a magic spell, even Lucille, who was of such a high level, did not notice it at first. He also saw it in his field of vision, otherwise he might not have noticed such an inconspicuous alchemical array in the light.
Following the pattern of the alchemy array, Sean drew another one.
"There is actually an alchemy array!" Only then did Lucille realize that she had almost triggered the mechanism just now.
However, compared to the alchemy array, Lucille was more concerned about Sean's cautious attitude and his sharpness. It had only been less than two months since he came out of the Jagun Imperial City, but he had grown so much that he even noticed such a tiny array. Was it related to his growing strength?
"You can take it now."
While Lucille was puzzled, Sean took out the small box placed inside the pillar first. Who would have thought that this pillar was hollow, and there was a mechanism inside that would automatically close after the box was taken out.
"Is this the secret you were talking about?"
"Well, what's inside should be another part of the manuscript of the legendary Abdullah." Sean said as he opened the box.
There really is a worn leather book with pages. Because the box is made of special alchemical products, the whole book is preserved intact and it looks almost like a new one when it is taken out.
"How do you know this thing exists here?" Lucille was confused. What else did Sean know that she didn't know along the way?
The son of a previous Desert Queen.
Although he had also experienced the era of the Desert Queen, it was too long ago. He was just a child and didn't know much about the Queen. The only thing he knew was that she had some friendship with his mentor.
Perhaps because of this relationship, when Lucille heard passers-by say that the Desert Prince was called Sean, she wanted to go and see him. If he was really the son of the Queen, then she would have accepted a disciple with connections. But now it seems that her understanding of this disciple is becoming increasingly vague, and it is almost impossible to see clearly if she knows more.
"Because I came here once yesterday."
Pun intended, Sean was here yesterday but didn't need to say anything about Occam.
"Let's go back first. We'll study it again when we get back..."
Sean was about to go back with Lucille, and he continued to use the previous method to let Raven Barry use magic to confuse the guards outside and then the two of them left.
Looking at the time, it is already completely late at night, and there are probably not many people outside.
But when Lucille was about to cast a spell, she suddenly froze!
"What's wrong……"
As Sean opened his mouth to ask, a prompt immediately appeared in his field of vision.
"Someone is coming, it's... it's Sister Rachel." Perhaps the only thing that could make her worry in this city, or even in this country, was this name.
Why is she here?
Sean listened to Lucille's words and looked at the door of the large library not far away.
If she wants to come in, then... wait.
Another thing suddenly came to my mind.
"Let's hide quickly. It will be troublesome if Sister Rachel sees us." Lucille suddenly grabbed Sean's hand and wanted to find a place to hide. The two were almost at the same level, so there was no such thing as power suppression. Moreover, as an older generation, Rachel had far more experience than Lucille.
There's no use hiding.
"No need to hide." Sean said suddenly.
At this moment the door of the library suddenly opened.
The light instantly illuminated the dark library...
However, the only person standing at the door was Rachel. Lucille tried her best to hide but Sean insisted on waiting here for the other party to arrive.
When the door opened and Lucille saw that it was Rachel alone, she was no longer so anxious.
"Sister Rachel."
"Sister, so you are really here!" Rachel with short hair walked in slowly at the door.
There was really no one at the gate, only her!
"Don't worry, I've sent everyone else away. No one else here will know about this."
"Sister Rachel..."
"The Great Alchemist must have been waiting for us for a long time." Sean said at this time.
The other party looked at him with interest and smiled slightly.
"It's been a long time indeed. Prince Sean is truly as intelligent as your mother."
