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

However, Frost didn't need to rest in the first place. He was wearing armor and it was inconvenient to lie on the bed. In the end, this bed naturally belonged to Xiao Zhi.

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

Frost sat on the edge of the bed and stared at him with lowered eyes: "Good night."

Everything was so natural, because they had said goodbye like this many times. .

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

It also added a touch of translucent and peaceful color to Xiao Zhi's sleeping face.

Frost couldn't help but get a little closer. He stretched out his gloved hand and gently stroked the side of Xiao Zhi's face.

The temperature belonging to Xiao Zhi came from the fingertips, with a soft touch, and you could also feel the slight changes in breathing. The sleeping person still had his eyes closed, not showing any signs of being disturbed.

Just like the time before.

Just like many lost memory fragments.

Somehow, Frost suddenly felt that he was in a very good mood. His fingertips lingered on Xiao Zhi's cheek and refused to leave. The warmth belonging to a living person was transmitted to his fingertips bit by bit, as if he could connect His cold heart felt warm.

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

The moonlight stained his eyes, making them look even more beguiling than the bright moon in the sky.

The room was still silent.

·

the next day.

Xiao Zhi was awakened by the ubiquitous sound of prayer.

This is not a high-end hotel, so don't expect it to have any good sound insulation. Coupled with the open windows, the sounds of prayers coming from all directions broke into Xiao Zhi's ears one after another when the sky was just getting light, and they continued continuously, which was more effective than any alarm clock.

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

He deeply felt that feudal superstition was unacceptable.

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

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

After eating a tasteless breakfast and checking out with the boss's smile that seemed to contain some hidden meaning, the two of them embarked on the teleportation array to the capital, Holland. .

·

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

Instead, we arrived at a square near Holland. There were guarding paladins everywhere, and there were magic circles with strong light energy under their feet. Don't even think about it, but you know that if any undead creatures try to step into this place, they will definitely suffer. Violent attack.

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

Xiao Zhi: "Yes."

Frost nodded without speaking, remaining silent. With his taciturn character.

The paladin took out a golden compass and pointed it at the two of them, muttering something in his mouth. As his words fell, the pointer slowly turned, pointing to Xiao Zhi for a while, and then to Frost for a while.

Xiao Zhi's heart was rising and falling as the pointer turned, fearing that the alarm would suddenly sound and a group of people would swarm towards them.

After a moment, the needle on the compass stopped.

The pointer stopped in the middle, pointing to no one.

The paladin lowered his head and glanced at the compass in his hand. Seeing that the pointer was not abnormal, he took the compass back and said, "Please follow me."

The two of them followed the paladin's guidance and entered an exclusive passage, passing through it several times. After careful inspection, I finally saw the gate of Brace.

The buildings in Bresse are also white, with a lot of gold used for decoration. The walls are spotless and there are no scratches, and they look full of holiness.

The sun symbol of Bresse Cult is clearly displayed at the city gate, and the flag representing the emperor can only step aside. It can be seen that although Bresse is still an empire in name, in fact it is no different from a religious country.

Xiao Zhi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it was really not easy to come in.

However, Brace's security check also provided him with inspiration. As Brace's nemesis, is Hesse's security check too relaxed? Even in important events such as the selection of clerks, Brace can install puppets.

If it weren't for the difficulty of disguising the undead, it would be difficult for brainwashed devout believers to transform into the undead. It is estimated that Blaise would have infiltrated Hesse long ago.

After you go back, you have to plan carefully.

The two of them walked all the way towards the book tower. The location of the book tower is easy to find. As long as you follow the flow of people, the direction with more people will definitely be towards the book tower.

On the way, Xiao Zhi saw what the players meant when they said, "When you get to Huolan, you can see even more exaggerated things."

In the spotless city of Holland, the buildings are neat and orderly, and are dotted with carefully arranged green plants. The passers-by also have gentle smiles on their faces, looking happy and contented.

But in some corners of the street, there will always be beggars with shabby clothes. Like the poor man in Gladys Town before, they all look haggard and look like they are about to starve to death.

But they had contented smiles on their faces. Facing the people coming and going, there was no trace of jealousy or self-consciousness on their faces. Instead, there was a hint of disdain and a deeply hidden arrogance.

It seemed like they were the ones in the brightest clothes.

There was more or less some food in front of these people, which was given to them by outsiders, but the beggars turned a blind eye to these. Even though the bread was left to dry and the pies were left to grow mold, no one went there. touch.

Because in their eyes, food from unbelievers is dirty and will stain their souls.

Only when priests in white uniforms bring food, these people will take it with ecstasy and swallow the food gratefully. Then they began to pray to the sun, thanking God for his blessings, thanking the priest for his kindness, praising Bresse, and telling his piety. After praying, they continued to retreat into the corner, waiting for the next alms meal.

This kind of scene is played out on almost every street, over and over again, as if it is constantly being replayed.

Xiao Zhi always felt uncomfortable looking at the smiles on their faces. He couldn't bear their numbness and ignorance, and he was also angry at the mental control exerted on them by the Breth Cult.

He doesn't like any religion that uses an illusory afterlife to trick people into giving up the pursuit of happiness in this life.

·

Going forward all the way, the book tower finally arrived.

The book tower is still in Bresse's traditional holy style of white and gold.

It is said that when the Book Tower was being built, many high-ranking priests and great magisters were involved. That's why it was built so high that it currently has a total height of 1,072 floors. When the collection of books in the book tower increases again, Brace will increase the number of floors again as needed.

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

Each floor in the book tower is also extremely wide, with an indoor area of ​​thousands of square meters that can accommodate a large number of books.

Almost all the books that have ever appeared on the mainland can be found here, whether they are sacred scriptures, history books, miscellaneous notes, scientific research books, parenting methods, flower planting tips, and even gossip magazines and roadside novels are included. It can be called It's truly everything.

But, with such a large area and so many books, where can we find them?

Xiao Zhi pretended to look for a book, but looked around carefully.

He saw many paladins wearing armor. There was a paladin guarding him at regular intervals. The position of each paladin would not be beyond the sight of two people nearby. There were strict rules for changing shifts. Almost There is no loophole to exploit.

Even their movements are almost all under the surveillance of the Paladins. It is difficult to make any small moves, let alone explore the secrets of the book tower.

Xiao Zhi's eyes stayed on a certain paladin for a little longer, and the other person immediately turned his head sharply and looked at Xiao Zhi with a gentle but implicit gaze.

Xiao Zhi hurriedly pretended to be looking for a book.

He casually pulled out a book from the bookshelf and said to Frost beside him: "I think this one is pretty good."

Frost: "..."

Seeing that Frost didn't respond, Xiao Zhi was still a little puzzled. At that time, he noticed that the expression on the face of the paladin looking at him was a little strange, as if he saw a stinker but had to keep smiling.

Realizing something, Xiao Zhi lowered his head and looked at the book in his hand -

"Top Secret Files: How to Become the 100 Kinds of Men a Rich Woman Loves"

Xiao Zhi: "..."

The collection of books in the book tower is a bit too rich.

But at this moment, there was a paladin staring at him. If he put it back, it would look very suspicious. Xiao Zhi had to bite the bullet and continue acting. He said to Frost: "Let's go, let's study it together. When I get rich, I'll introduce you to the rich woman's sisters."

With that, he pulled Frost away skillfully.

Frost: "..."

He was glad that he was wearing a helmet.

When we came to the reading area, there were relatively few guards here, the distance between seats was relatively loose, and there were Athanasi people whispering to their companions as cover. It was a good place for whispering.

Xiao Zhi pretended to study "Top Secret Files: How to Become a Rich Woman's Favorite 100 Kinds of Men". He half-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 will be exposed to the sight of at least two paladins."

Xiao Zhi turned a page: "I think there should be fewer guards here at night, but in such an important place, the guards are not There will definitely be patrols."

Frost: "Then come back at night."

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

·

During the day, the two of them wandered around the book tower and figured out its layout.

Taking advantage of the ample time during the day, Xiao Zhi checked the address book and learned that the higher the book tower goes, the more stringent the requirements for entry. Even ordinary believers are not allowed to enter above the 1000th floor. Only priests or above can enter, and they cannot be found in the address book of the upper floors.

Xiao Zhi asked Li Daye again, and Li Daye said that based on his experience of infiltrating in disguise many times, only the bishop level can enter areas above 1050. Each bishop has an exclusive identity mark, and he failed to sneak in.

Braise's book tower is only open until dusk, and at dusk, the paladins will begin to clear the place.

Xiao Zhi and Frost took advantage of the brief chaos when everyone left to quietly hide in an inconspicuous corner of the reading area, and successfully evaded the final inspection of the Paladin.

After nightfall.

As Xiao Zhi had guessed before, the number of guards on the book tower did decrease after dark. But there are only those who are permanently guarding the bookshelves. There are still many patrolling Paladins, and they have strict routes and handover sequences. They cannot be taken lightly.

Xiao Zhi and Frost walked up while avoiding the patrolling Paladins.

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

Frost: "How to sneak in?"

Xiao Zhi thought for a while: "Let's see who gets knocked unconscious when the time comes. A suitable one."

Frost nodded, not thinking that Xiao Zhi's idea was dangerous at all.

As you go up, the area of ​​each floor becomes smaller, but the number of patrols does not decrease, which makes it more and more difficult to avoid patrols.

After bypassing the group of people behind him, Xiao Zhi calculated the gap for the Paladins to patrol, and was about to cross an intersection to go to the upper level when he heard footsteps coming from not far away.

They were the patrolling Paladins. The speed of this group of people was actually a little faster than before, and they just blocked the route of Xiao Zhi and the two.

Now there was a group of paladins approaching from both sides, trapping the two of them.

Xiao Zhi glanced at Frost. Before the paladin appeared in sight, Xiao Zhi used the flame illusion to leave the place instantly. Frost took a step slower and killed Xiao with a sword before teleporting. The phantom that stayed in place was shattered to prevent it from being exposed.

The moment the two figures disappeared completely, the two patrolling groups of Paladins met.

The leader of one team was obviously unhappy: "You are going too fast."

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

The man who seemed to have a significantly higher status looked around, and his long-term experience seemed to He was told that there was an unusual smell in the air, but after careful inspection, there was nothing there.

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

After the visitor left, Xiao Zhi slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately... he was not discovered...

At this moment, he caught a slight sound of friction of clothing 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 flashed faintly in the darkness. Almost in the blink of an eye, he had already stabbed in the direction of the sound.

"Wait a minute--"

A somewhat familiar voice came from the darkness.

Then, a little firefly lit up in the darkness. It was very weak and would not 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.

Ruoye is Bai Yan's ID in the game. Why does this chief senior of the history department also like to visit the book tower at night?

Bai Yan nodded: "It's me."

Xiao Zhi approached cautiously: "Brother, why are you here? You scared me."

Seeing that it was someone Xiao Zhi knew, Frost quickly put away his sword. The smooth movements made Bai Yan take another look at him. With such freely retractable movements, the knight in the black cloak in front of him must have very strong swordsmanship.

Bai Yan's tone was a little helpless: "I was just reading, and I was the one who was shocked when you suddenly showed up."

Xiao Zhi asked: "Reading at this point?"

"The book tower is only open during the day. " It's so unkind. How can I log off without finishing a book?" Bai Yan adjusted his monocle, "So I can only give myself more time,"

Xiao Zhi thought. It's a bit funny, I didn't expect that Senior Brother Bai Yan, who is always praised by the stars, has a dark belly and a vicious tongue, actually has such a side in private.

Xiao Zhi: "Do you often sneak in?"

Bai Yan thought for a while: "It's just so so, there are always a few days every month."

Xiao Zhi: "..."

Why does this sound so strange?

Xiao Zhi said: "Have you been to the 1050th floor or above?"

Bai Yan nodded: "Been there."

Xiao Zhi suddenly felt like he saw hope: "Brother, let's discuss something. Can you give me some advice?"

Bai Yan Pointing to the book in his hand: "Yes, yes...but, can I finish reading this book? I feel uncomfortable if I don't see the ending. It won't take long, I will be able to finish reading the ending in about ten minutes. By then, I'll take you there."

"Okay, let's wait -" Xiao Zhi said, looking along his fingers, and then his words got stuck because he saw the cover saying - "

The Overbearing Lord Falls in Love with Me. : The Heartbeat Memories of the Hessian Lord and the Clerk".

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

Xiao Zhi: "..."

Frost: "..."
