Bai Yan is looking down at the book in his hand, the expression on his face is calm and serious, as if he is reading some academic book, not the best-selling novel from the Dolly Alliance recently.

Xiao Zhi glanced at the contents of the book and felt his scalp tingle: "..."

Is the content so exciting?

Not knowing what expression to use to face this novel, he cautiously glanced at Frost beside him.

Hmm... through the helmet, can't see anything.

There was an embarrassment in the air.

Fortunately, at this moment, Senior Brother Bai Yan was unaware of the subtle embarrassment in the air, and was enjoying the joy of reading.

He didn't know that Xiao Zhi was the secretary, and he didn't expect that the Hessian lord would sneak into the book tower and jump up, so naturally he wouldn't know that the two protagonists in the book were standing in front of him at the moment.

Ten difficult minutes finally passed, and Bai Yan closed the book in his hand contentedly: "So in the end they turned out like that..."

Xiao Zhi was a little curious and wanted to know what "that's it" actually meant, but his reason told him that it was better not to know. Sometimes the happiness of human beings comes from the protection of ignorance.

Holding down his curiosity, Xiao Zhi abruptly held back his curiosity and did not ask.

Bai Yan stood up, carefully put the book back in place, and placed it at the original angle.

Following his movements, Xiao Zhi found that there were still many books on the shelf, such as "The Indescribable Things in Hessen" and "What should I do if Lord Lord spoils me every night?" ", "Pampering: 100 Little Secrets About Secretaries and Lords"...

Xiao Zhi felt goosebumps all over him: "..."

Why has the story of the two of them become a best-selling theme? These are the words of tigers and wolves! ! !

He quickly looked away and pretended not to have seen anything.

Brace's Book Tower is a horrible place to be...

After cleaning up the traces of his past, Bai Yan whispered to Xiao Zhi, "Sorry, I made you wait for a long time."

He turned to look at Frost, who had been silent: "Who is this?"

Xiao Zhi introduced him: "This is Ethan, my friend, a knight."

Bai Yan nodded: "It's a pleasure to meet."

Frost remained silent, but greeted him with a nod.

Looking at Ethan's actions, Bai Yan guessed that this person was probably not a player. However, in the world of ZERO, it is very common for players to make friends with mainland residents. Seeing that they are so strict, there may be some little secrets. It is better for him not to pay too much attention to them.

After a short chat, Bai Yan pulled up the cap of his cloak to cover his head and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the top."

After speaking, Bai Yan raised his hand and gave the three of them a blessing of the wind, which made the three of them move faster. Then he looked around, estimated the time of the inspection, and stepped out of the cover of the bookcase first. .

Xiao Zhi and Frost followed Bai Yan all the way.

Bai Yan led people through the book tower skillfully, advancing almost non-stop, avoiding the patrolling paladins with precision every time he stood, and even had time to browse the nearby bookshelves to see if he felt himself. Books of interest.

With that smooth movement and leisurely posture, at first glance, he was a habitual offender.

With Bai Yan's leadership, Xiao Zhi and Frost's speed suddenly increased a lot, and they moved forward quickly.

All the way to the 1050th floor.

Suddenly, Bai Yan raised his hand to signal the two to stop.

But at this moment, there is obviously no one ahead.

Bai Yan said in a low voice, "From here, the way of patrolling is different from before, and someone will come soon."

Almost as soon as the words fell, a group of Paladins walked over in neat steps. Compared with the Paladins on the previous floor, this group of people is obviously more unified, the footsteps are almost the same, and the uniforms on their bodies are also different from the previous ones. They look much more advanced, and even the weapons are not the same. It's common stuff.

The three of them hid in an inconspicuous position, quietly waiting for someone to pass by.

After the Paladins disappeared from sight, Bai Yan took them through the road.

Bai Yan said casually, "Have you seen the weapons in their hands? It was recently developed by Blaise. Although it is not as powerful as the one created by the master, its power is comparable to that of ordinary advanced weapons. Moreover, it can be mass-produced."

Bai Yan just said it casually as an ordinary talk, but Xiao Zhi felt slightly startled.

These weapons are not common in other parts of the continent. Generally, materials are specially prepared and then customized by blacksmiths. The requirements for materials and blacksmiths are not low, and ordinary materials cannot reach the strength required by advanced weapons.

But now, Brace can actually be mass-produced?

Xiao Zhi couldn't help but ask, "How did they do it?"

Bai Yan thought for a while: "It is said that Brace has been secretly researching Yixi ore for the past hundred years, and wants to research more ways to use it, not just as a fuel for transportation. Probably they have researched something new. It may not be many years before the mainland enters a new era.”

He added: "Of course, these are all rumours I've heard, and my personal guesses, without seeing the actual factory."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhi's mind crossed four words - industrial revolution.

In Dazemenya, a continent dominated by magic and various unscientific forces, is the power of science actually going to be born? Not in the Dolly Alliance with the most developed trade and the most active atmosphere, but in the most closed, traditional, conservative, and theocratic-dominated Brace Empire?

No matter how you think about it, this combination is incredible.

Frost still didn't say a word, but Xiao Zhi, who was familiar with him, noticed that his pace slowed down a little. This was something Frost would only do when he was thinking. Presumably the two were thinking about similar things at the moment.

Bai Yan took the two to a white wall: "Here."

Xiao Zhi's thoughts were interrupted, he raised his head and looked forward, seeing only an empty white wall in front of him.

Bai Yan stretched out his hand towards the wall, skillfully drew a symbol on the wall, and whispered "Greata" in his mouth. Then, he saw a dark hole suddenly appeared on the originally smooth and flat wall. .

Bai Yan stepped into the hole, then waved to the two of them, signaling them to follow.

When the three of them all entered the wall, the hole in the wall disappeared instantly, and the wall returned to its flat appearance.

The wall was dark, Bai Yan took out a bead for lighting, the bead exuded a warm yellow light, and swayed slightly in front of him. It looked warm and cute, and it was completely different from the soul lamp.

"You can speak casually here, don't worry, the voice won't get out." Bai Yan said.

Xiao Zhi looked at the world inside the wall. It was like a labyrinth, full of forks and turns: "Is this what you came up with, Senior Brother?"

Bai Yan shook his head: "How can I come up with such a big project, I guess it may be done by people inside Brace, who only have this kind of time and opportunity. This road has been open for a long time, but I've never met anyone in it, and I don't know if the people who made the tunnel in the first place are still there."

Xiao Zhi thought of the name Bai Yan said before: "Do you know Greerata?"

Linked to the previously known status and experience of Gretta, Xiao Zhi guessed that this passage might have been opened by his die-hard men after the disappearance of Archbishop Gretta, perhaps to deal with Andre who suddenly became the Pope.

It's just that Andre has been sitting on the seat of the Pope steadily, and finally died. Presumably these people's actions were not successful, and they didn't even leave traces in the history books.

They just disappeared, just like Greerata.

Bai Yan said: "I know, things related to this person are quite strange. According to Brace's habit, archbishops of this level will have an exclusive biography, which will record the life of the archbishop in detail, praise their piety, and pass it on to future generations. Used to inspire later believers."

"But Greerata didn't. Even in the biographies of people related to him at that time, the content related to him was very vague, and he could not write more than one sentence. This person almost has a little legend left, it is difficult to Piece together his life."

Xiao Zhi: "According to the usual practice, we usually refer to this situation as there is an insider."

Bai Yan smiled: "Are you also interested in him?"

Xiao Zhi nodded: "I recently checked some information about Brace, and I am very interested in his affairs with Pope Andre."

Bai Yan touched his chin and thought for a while, and said, "In this case, Junior Brother, you can go to a place to have a look. I found a hidden entrance in Sunila Town, located in an abandoned church, on the night of the full moon. At twelve o'clock at midnight, you can enter with a handful of white musha flowers."

"This is a Nixi region, and it will reappear over time. The content in it should be related to the disappearance of Greyatta, but the perspective of each entry is different, and you need to piece together the truth yourself. If you are unlucky, you may have everything. Can't find it."

Nixiyu is the name of the cyclical dungeon on the mainland, referring to the dungeon that can be reset automatically for various reasons, people can participate in it, but cannot change the plot in the dungeon, which is similar to the type of the most traditional game dungeon.

Bai Yan looked at Xiao Zhi and said, "However, I also hope that Junior Brother can keep it a secret. At present, this copy is only known to those of us who are good at it, and there is no rumor."

Xiao Zhi said, "Just tell me that, okay?"

Bai Yan: "Just take it as a thank you for your previous contributions. If it weren't for you, it is estimated that this year we would lose badly, and we wouldn't be able to enjoy the happiness we have now."

After speaking, a smile appeared on Bai Yan's face, with a little satisfaction and a black belly. wonder if it was associated with the unfavorable situation of the mecha series this year.

Xiao Zhi smiled and said, "Then thank you senior brother."

Unexpectedly, the Freshman League can also bring unexpected benefits.

The three continued to move forward, and Bai Yan suddenly asked, "I don't think I have asked, what are you going to do at the top of the book tower?"

By the way, Xiao Zhi told him the scene he saw in Gladys Town, and said, "Don't you think it's very interesting?"

Bai Yan was also interested: "That's right, people can't help but want to keep investigating."

The Athanasi people have always been unique in this aspect of killing.

Bai Yan smiled slightly: "If I want to explore the secrets of the book tower, I have thought of a good place."

Xiao Zhi and Frost followed Bai Yan around in the passage, and finally stopped in one place. This place is slightly different from other places. There is a magic circle emitting a faint light in the air. don't know what it is for.

Bai Yan explained: "A quiet room in the book tower can be monitored here. Generally speaking, a quiet room is a place for bishops to ponder or comprehend, but in such a secret space, something special always happens. "

Xiao Zhi: "For example?"

Bai Yan smiled: "Last time I saw two bishops dating here."

Xiao Zhi: "..."

Really special and exciting.

Bai Yan's smile did not change: "Last time, the three bishops found out that their lovers were actually the same person. The three faced each other for a while, and then they fought. The battle was quite fierce. One of the bishops was torn off his pants. The pants are still in the style of small florals."

Xiao Zhi: "..."

Brother, so you are actually such a gossip person?

Thinking about it carefully, he had already revealed the clues from the way he looked at the fans of the Hessian lord and the secretary with gusto.
