It was already late at night, and the Breth believers who went to bed early and woke up early would not get up to provide room service, so there was only one bed left for the two of them.

However, Frost did not need to rest originally, he was wearing armor again, and it was inconvenient to lie on the bed. This bed finally belonged to Xiao Zhi.

Xiao Zhi lay neatly on the bed and said to Frost, "Good night."

Frost sat on the edge of the bed, staring down at him: "Good night."

It's all so natural, because they've said goodbye so many times.

When Xiao Zhi fell into a deep sleep, Frost still sat quietly. After experiencing the darkness of the first half of the night, the clouds in the sky dispersed a little, and the cold white moonlight fell down and sneaked into the room quietly.

It also added a clear and peaceful color to Xiao Zhi's sleeping face.

Frost couldn't help but get closer, he stretched out his gloved hand and gently stroked Xiao Zhi's profile.

The temperature that belonged to Xiao Zhi came from his fingertips, with a soft touch, and he could feel the slight changes between his breaths.

Like the previous time.

Also like in many lost memory fragments.

For some reason, Frost suddenly felt that he was in a very good mood, his fingertips lingered on Xiao Zhi's cheeks, and he refused to leave. His cold heart warmed up.

Unconsciously, Frost's eyebrows were slightly curved, with a satisfied smile.

The moonlight stained his eyes, and it looked a bit more confusing than the bright moon in the sky.

It was still quiet inside.

the next day.

Xiao Zhi was awakened by the sound of prayers everywhere.

This is not a high-end hotel, so don't expect it to have any good sound insulation. Coupled with the open windows, the sound of prayers coming from all directions broke into Xiao Zhi's ears one after another as soon as the sky lighted up, and continued, more effective than any alarm clock.

Xiao Zhi opened his hazy sleepy eyes and sat up from the bed swayingly. His hair was a little messy, and his thinking ability had not returned to normal.

He deeply felt that feudal superstition was unacceptable.

Frost got up and closed the window, making his voice a little quieter. He turned his head to look at Xiao Zhi, and reached out to help him comb his messy hair: "Xiao Qi, do you want to sleep a little longer?"

Xiao Zhi shook his head slowly: "No... Let's pack up and go to Holland."

After eating the bland breakfast and checking out with the boss's smile that seemed to be hiding some kind of deep meaning, the two set foot on the teleportation array to the capital Holland.

After stepping out of the teleportation array, he did not reach Horan immediately.

Instead, went to a square near Holland. There are guarded paladins everywhere, and there is also a magic circle with strong light energy under their feet. Don't even think about it, if any undead creature tries to step into this place, it will definitely suffer. violent attack.

A paladin stopped Xiao Zhi and the two with a gentle smile: "Excuse me, is this your first time to Holland?"

Xiao Zhi: "Yes."

Frost nodded without speaking, maintaining his taciturn personality.

The paladin took out a golden compass and pointed it towards the two of them. He was saying something. As his voice fell, the pointer slowly turned, pointing to Xiao Zhi for a while, and then to Frost for a while.

Xiao Zhi's heart also went up and down with the rotation of the pointer, fearing that the alarm would suddenly sound, and then a group of people rushed towards them.

After a while, the needle on the compass stopped.

The pointer stopped in the middle, not pointing at anyone.

The paladin looked down at the compass in his hand and saw that the pointer was normal, so he retracted the compass: "Please come with me."

Following the guidance of the Paladin, the two entered an exclusive passage, and after several meticulous inspections, they finally saw the gate of Brace.

Brace's building is also white, with a lot of gold used for decoration, the walls are spotless, and there are no scratches, and it looks full of holy taste.

The sun sign of the Brethian religion was so brightly placed at the gate of the city, and the flag representing the emperor could only be relegated to one side. It can be seen that although Brethian is still an empire in name, it is actually no different from a religious country.

Xiao Zhi couldn't help sighing in his heart, it's really not easy to come in.

However, Braith's security check also provided him with inspiration. As Braith's nemesis, is Hesse's security check too relaxed? Even an important event such as the clerk selection can be placed as a puppet by Blaise.

If it weren't for the difficulty of disguising the undead, it would be difficult for a brainwashed devout to be transformed into an undead. It is estimated that Brace had infiltrated Hesse long ago.

After you go back, you have to plan carefully.

The two walked all the way in the direction of the book tower. The location of the book tower was easy to find.

On the way, Xiao Zhi saw what the player said, "Wait until Horan, you can see more exaggerated things".

In the spotless city of Holland, the buildings are neat and orderly, surrounded by carefully arranged green plants, and passers-by come and go with gentle smiles, looking happy and content.

But in some corners of the street, there are always beggars with shabby clothes. They are just like the poor man in Gladys Town.

But they had contented smiles on their faces. Facing the people coming and going, they didn't see any jealousy or shame on their faces. Instead, they contained a trace of disdain and deeply hidden pride.

As if they were the brightly dressed one.

There are more or less food in front of these people, all of which are donated to them by outsiders, but the beggars turn a blind eye to these, even if the bread is left to dry, and the pies are left to grow mold, no one will go. touch.

Because in their eyes, food from unbelievers is filthy and will defile their souls.

Only when the priests in white uniforms brought the food, these people took it with ecstasy and swallowed it with great gratitude. Then they began to pray to the sun, thanking God for the gift, thanking the priest for his kindness, praising Blaise, and expressing their piety.

Such scenes are played out on almost every street, over and over again, as if they are constantly being replayed.

Seeing the smiles on their faces, Xiao Zhi always felt uncomfortable, couldn't bear their numbness and ignorance, and was also angry at the mind control imposed on them by the Brace Cult.

He does not like any religion that uses the ethereal world after death to coax people to give up their pursuit of happiness in this life.

All the way forward, the book tower finally arrived.

The book tower is still the holy style of Brace's traditional white and gold intertwined.

It is said that many high-ranking priests and great magisters participated in the construction of the book tower. That's why it was built so high into the sky. The current total height is 1072 floors. When the collection of books in the book tower increases again, Brace will increase the number of floors again as needed.

After three strict checkpoints, the two were finally allowed to enter the interior of the book tower.

Each floor of the book tower is also very wide, and the indoor area of ​​thousands of square meters can accommodate a large number of books.

Almost all the books that have appeared on the mainland can be found here, whether they are holy books, historical books, miscellaneous notes, scientific research books, or parenting methods, flower cultivation experience, and even gossip magazines and roadside novels are included. is truly everything.

However, with such a large area and so many books, where do we find them?

Xiao Zhi pretended to be looking for a book, but looked around cautiously.

He saw many paladins in armor. There was a paladin guarding every distance. The position of each paladin would not exceed the sight of two nearby people. There were strict rules for changing shifts. There are no holes to drill.

Even their movements are almost under the surveillance of the Paladins, it is difficult to come up with any small movements, let alone explore the secrets of the book tower.

Xiao Zhi's gaze stayed on the body of a certain Paladin for a little longer, and the other party turned his head sharply and looked at Xiao Zhi with a gentle but implicit gaze.

Xiao Zhi hurriedly pretended to look for a book.

He took a copy from the bookshelf and said to Frost next to him, "I think this is a good one."

Frost: "..."

Seeing that Frost didn't respond, Xiao Zhi was still a little puzzled. At this time, he noticed that the expression on the face of the paladin next to him who was looking at him was also a little weird, just like he saw a rogue but had to keep smiling.

Realizing something, Xiao Zhi looked down at the book in his hand——

Top Secret Archives: How to Become Rich Woman's Favorite 100 Men

Xiao Zhi: "..."

The book tower's collection of books is a bit too rich.

But at the moment, there is a paladin staring at him, and if he puts it back, it will look very suspicious. Xiao Zhi has to bite the bullet and continue the performance. He said to Frost: "Let's go, let's study it together, and when I get rich, I'll introduce the rich woman's sisters to you."

Having said that, he skillfully pulled Frost away.

Frost: "..."

He was glad he was wearing a helmet.

Coming to the reading area, there are relatively few guards here, the distance between the seats is relatively loose, and there are Asanassi people whispering with their companions as cover, which is a good place to whisper.

Xiao Zhi pretended to study "Top Secret Archives: How to Become a Rich Woman's Favorite 100 Kinds of Men", he covered his face with the book, approached Frost and whispered, "It seems that it is difficult to find opportunities during the day."

Frost nodded: "I have observed that every bookshelf is exposed to at least two Paladins' sights."

Xiao Zhi turned a page: "I think there should be fewer guards here at night, but in such an important place, there will be no less guards, and there must be people on patrol."

Frost: "Come back at night then."

The discussion between the two was very serious and serious, like two poor people who were carefully considering how to get the favor of a rich woman.

During the day, the two wandered in the book tower, figuring out the layout by the way.

Taking advantage of the ample time during the day, Xiao Zhi checked the address book and learned that the higher the book tower, the stricter the entry requirements. Above the 1000th floor, not even ordinary believers can enter. Only priests or above can enter, and the address book on the upper layer cannot be found.

Xiao Zhi asked Li Daye again. Li Daye said that according to his experience of infiltrating under camouflage many times, only the bishop level can enter the area above 1050. Each bishop has an exclusive identity mark, and he was not able to sneak in.

Brace's book tower is only open until dusk, and at dusk, the Paladins will begin to clear the field.

Taking advantage of the brief confusion when everyone left, Xiao Zhi and Frost quietly hid in an inconspicuous corner of the reading area, and successfully escaped the final inspection of the Paladins.

After dark.

Similar to what Xiao Zhi had guessed before, after dark, the guards of the book tower really decreased. But there are only those who are constantly guarding the bookshelves. There are still many paladins on patrol, and they have strict routes and handover sequences, so they cannot be taken lightly.

Xiao Zhi and Frost walked up while avoiding the inspecting paladins.

Xiao Zhi whispered: "The secret of the book tower should be above the 1050th floor. We have to find a way to get in."

Frost: "How do you mess up?"

Xiao Zhi thought for a while: "Let's see which one is suitable to stun at that time."

Frost nodded, not at all thinking that Xiao Zhi's thoughts were dangerous.

The higher the level, the smaller the area of ​​each floor, but the number of people inspected does not decrease, which makes it more and more difficult to avoid inspections.

Walking around the group of people behind him, Xiao Zhi calculated the gap between the paladins and was about to cross an intersection to go to the upper floor, but heard footsteps not far away.

It was a patrolling paladin. The speed of this group was actually a little faster than the previous one, which just blocked the route of Xiao Zhi and the two.

Right now, a group of Paladins was approaching in front and behind, sandwiching the two between them.

Xiao Zhi cast a look at Frost. Before the Paladin appeared within sight, Xiao Zhi used the flame illusion to leave the place instantly, while Frost took a step slower and shot Xiao with a sword before teleporting. The phantom that remained in place was shattered, so as not to be exposed.

At the moment when the two figures completely disappeared, the two patrolling paladins met.

The leader of one of the teams was obviously unhappy: "Your speed is too fast."

The leader of the other team quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, my lord."

The man who seemed to be of a significantly higher status looked around. Years of experience seemed to tell him that there was an unusual aura in the air, but when he carefully sensed it, there was nothing.

He shook his head and blamed this feeling on the reckless subordinate in front of him. After repeatedly telling the other party to strictly follow the rules, the two teams separated again.

Xiao Zhi finally let out a sigh of relief when the visitor left.

Fortunately...not found...

At this moment, he caught a slight sound of fabric rubbing not far away, Xiao Zhi instantly became alert, and pointed his staff in the direction of the sound.

Frost moved faster, he disappeared instantly, the long sword in his hand flickered faintly in the darkness, and in the blink of an eye, he stabbed in the direction of the sound.

"etc"

A somewhat familiar voice came from the darkness.

Then, a little firefly lit up in the dark, so faint that it wouldn't attract the attention of the patrolling paladins in the distance, but it was enough to illuminate his face.

"...Senior Brother Ruoye?!" Xiao Zhi was a little surprised and asked in a low voice.

Ruo Ye, Bai Yan's ID in the game, why does the chief senior of the history department like to rush into the book tower at night?

Bai Yan nodded: "It's me."

Xiao Zhi approached cautiously: "Senior brother, why are you here? You startled me."

Seeing that it was someone Xiao Zhi knew, Frost quickly put away his sword. The smooth movement caused Bai Yan to look at him one more time. With such a free movement, the knight in the black cloak in front of him should be very skilled in swordsmanship.

Bai Yan's tone was a little helpless: "I was just reading a book, and I was the one who was startled when you suddenly appeared."

Xiao Zhi asked: "This point, reading?"

"The book tower is only open during the day. It's too impersonal. If I don't finish a book, how can I go offline at ease?" Bai Yan put down his monocle, "so I can only continue for myself. It's time."

Xiao Zhi thought it was a little funny, but he never thought that the black-bellied and vicious-tongued Senior Brother Bai Yan would have such a side in private.

Xiao Zhi: "Do you often sneak in?"

Bai Yan thought for a while: "Generally speaking, there are always a few days a month."

Xiao Zhi: "..."

Why does this sound so strange?

Xiao Zhi said, "Have you been to the 1050th floor and above?"

Bai Yan nodded: "I've been there."

Xiao Zhi suddenly felt hopeful: "Senior brother, discuss something, can you give me some pointers?"

Bai Yan pointed to the book in his hand: "Yes, yes... But, can I finish this book? I feel uncomfortable if I don't see the ending, it doesn't take long, I can finish the finale in about ten minutes.I'll take you there when the time comes."

"Okay, let's wait—" Xiao Zhi said, and followed his fingers, then got stuck, because he saw the cover that said—

The Overbearing Lord Falls in Love with Me: Heartbeat Memories of a Hessian Lord and Secretary.

Bai Yan said: "I don't know who this author is. The suspense of each chapter is so good that people can't help but keep chasing it. This is the first time I have seen such a novel."

Xiao Zhi: "..."

Frost: "..."
