Even without going to the vicinity to inquire about the situation, the onlookers have already pieced together what happened here.
The fire started around eight o'clock last night. The raging fire emerged from the inside of the library full of books, and then quickly ignited the entire building. Since it was discovered too late, the fire burned all night before it ended.
While the open fire was being extinguished, people found a charred corpse in the basement of the ruins of the library. Judging from the burnt metal product residues and tooth marks, the corpse was the owner of the library, Booker. Mr. himself.
The entire library was completely burned down. The fire devoured everything, leaving only the wreckage of the collapsed building and the wisps of hot smoke that rarely appeared in winter.
Residents, firefighters, and police who watched the excitement nearby, these people clustered around the ruins, making the originally deserted library more lively than anywhere else for the first time, but all of this, the dead Mr. Booker is not May know.
In fact, in winter, due to the use of fireplaces, kerosene lamps, etc., fires are very common. Therefore, even if the police came to investigate, people still think that this incident is probably an accident. After all, the safes found later were not touched at all. Traces, gold artifacts and belongings in the basement, which was also burned, were not looted either.
Knowing the outline of the matter, Xia De still thinks it is a bit unbelievable.
He and Luvia re-boarded the carriage to go home, and in the carriage, Xia De entrusted Luvia with divination, whether this incident was really an accident.
At this time, Luvia is the fourth ring like Xia De. She used the building debris she picked up just now as a divination material, and nodded to Xia De after tossing coins three times in a row:
"What appeared to be an accident, the kerosene lamp that was not extinguished in time ignited the desk, and then the fire spread to the entire library."
But after saying this, the purple-eyed girl frowned slightly:
"But it doesn't feel right. You know, my divination talent is very good, and the result now seems like someone deliberately interfered with the divination."
There are many ways to interfere with divination, such as the [Twenty-sided Dice of Fate] that Shade carries with him.
Without Xia De asking, she tried to break this interference by herself. But it was very difficult, and until she returned to Saint Teresa Square, Luvia still failed to find a way to perform a successful divination.
And when the two entered the door and Mia ran down the stairs happily, the purple-eyed girl said to Xia De again:
"Yesterday in bed, when you told me what you did to that princess, I remember you said it. Last night after nine o'clock, when you and Marguerite Anjou were kissing in the back garden of Canary Manor , Lykins Priscia jumped off the garden wall."
"You suspect that he set fire to the library?"
Xia De asked while changing shoes, Luvia nodded, and went upstairs with Xia De:
"You and he went to contain a book on Monday, and the library caught fire on Tuesday night. How can there be such a coincidence? We need to investigate this matter clearly."
"So how about I investigate now? You know, I'm still well connected in MI6."
Xia De said, really stopped going upstairs, but Luvia shook her head:
"Since the arsonists have thought of interfering with the divination, it is impossible to leave you with clues. Instead of investigating, it is better to use a simpler method, Xia De, how many coins do you have?"
"Two [Coins of Wisdom]."
Xia De replied, but immediately shook his head:
"I can almost predict that the Chosen Ceremony will be held within seven days, and now we only have to wait for Margaret and her party to arrive in Huntington. At this time, are you sure you want to consume the few remaining coins?"
Luvia frowned slightly, and stopped on the stairs before continuing to go up:
"When I got the coin, it was for divination. My inspiration told me that this matter is very important, and it is worth it."
So Xia De went back to the basement and took out the coins. The two were still divination in the living room. As the sky-blue coin was thrown high into the sky, both Xia De and the cat saw that the coin had cracks and rust at the highest point, until it fell into a ball during the fall. dust.
Luvia opened her eyes:
"He went to contain the "Book of Fools" with you on Monday. On the one hand, it was really for that relic, but after seeing the knowledge in it, he didn't care about the book itself; on the other hand, he had heard that Booker's collection, and coveted them. On Monday, it was actually a scouting."
"Is it really Sir who set the fire?"
"Yes, he has long planned to do this before leaving Tobesk. In this way, it is impossible for anyone to find out that he did it. During the dinner at Canary Manor yesterday, he left the manor and sneaked into the library , and emptied the precious books in the basement. Then he killed Mr. Booker who happened to have not left, and picked his favorite books from the library on the ground."
Luvia looked serious:
"Few people know what kind of books are in Mr. Booker's underground collection room, so after stealing the books, Lykins Priscia picked a few books from the library on the ground floor and put them in the vacancy downstairs. As for the books stolen from the library, since the library has a large collection of books, after a fire, no one would notice that a few books were missing before the fire."
She sighed softly:
"Who would have imagined that the chosen one of knowledge and wisdom would actually burn down a library with his own hands?"
Xia De pursed his lips slightly:
"Guarding the library is the domain of the ancient **** [Silver Moon Sage] with the power of [Recorder]."
He thought again of what the doctor had said in the hall downstairs yesterday morning:
"Insane curiosity."
Luvia nodded, but Xia De still couldn't understand:
"But for a few books, he burned down a library and killed an innocent person? I now understand why Jazz looked down on my friend Professor Drake so much on Monday."
"You said it yourself, crazy thirst for knowledge. And from this point of view, there is a high probability that what the devil told you about Priscia is true..."
Luvia took a few deep breaths:
"Xia De, if you have the opportunity to obtain a very precious Rhodes card, but you want to burn down a Rhodes card club and kill an innocent person, will you do it?"
"Of course not. Even if it's the Impermanence card, it's not worth me murdering an innocent person."
Xia De answered honestly:
"Of course, it's also because I have more options."
Luvia showed a slight smile, and picked up the cat lying on Shade's lap. This time, Miiya surprisingly didn't struggle:
"This is the difference between you and him—wisdom is the enemy of the wise. The desire for knowledge is sometimes a good thing, but the desire for knowledge must be restrained. Think carefully, why both knowledge and wisdom are named after this chosen one. No. Knowledge can build wisdom, and wisdom can acquire knowledge.”
"Why are the chosen ones we met so weird? The chosen ones of darkness stepped into the darkness, the chosen ones of death reversed death, and now the chosen ones of knowledge and wisdom are madly seeking knowledge... ...."
Shad sighed.
"At least Iluna is still normal."
Luvia reminded, Shad continued to sigh:
"But even so, we can't get rid of Sir before he holds the ceremony. If the qualification falls into the hands of Miss Pavo, I'm afraid the trouble will be even greater."
This is not only because Miss Pavo is the sixth ring, one ring higher than Sir Priscilla, but also because the former is backed by the [Truth Society], and the truth will appear as the chosen one, which will directly affect the future after the last door is opened. matter.
"Yes, if you can't deal with Priscia and Miss Pavo at the same time, and find the third pick, then after the ceremony of Rakins Priscia, deal with him, just like you deal with Darkness. Or , at least let the church imprison him. Although it is a bit arrogant to say this, but... this kind of rational and intelligent madman is more terrifying than a pure madman like Darkness."
Luvia said, Xia De nodded, and was about to say that he was going to perform a ceremony tonight, resonating with the power of the moon, when he suddenly heard the sound of a bell coming from downstairs:
"Who will come to find me? It's the client who entrusted to find the cat again."
He went downstairs and opened the door, only to find that it was Iluna at the door. Xia De smiled and let the door open:
"Come up quickly, Luvia happens to be here, we are discussing the matter of the chosen one, Sir Priscia did something wrong."
"Something wrong?"
The seventeen-year-old girl walked quickly into the door:
"I'll talk about this later. I'm here for something urgent. Is Luvia also here? That's great. I was just thinking about going to her later."
The two returned to the second floor, and Luvia also stood up from the sofa when she heard Iluna's voice, and the latter said quickly:
"Good morning, Luvia, please listen to me. I received a notice an hour ago to pack my luggage and leave for the south probably tonight. The notice did not mention a specific location, but the landing location should be in Panta North of the Great Swamp of Nar, in the territory of Delarion."
There are more than one entrances to the Everglades, and the location of Huntington is not strictly the best location. Of course, it's not the worst location either.
"It seems that the church is also sure that it is Pantanal, and the response is really fast."
Luvia nodded and looked at the two standing side by side:
"This time, it's up to you."
Iluna nodded heavily, and said to Xia De again:
"Wait for my good news, Xia De, see you in half a week."
"Okay, goodbye Pantanal. But before that, we have one last thing to settle."
Xia De took out the last [Coin of Wisdom]:
"Divinate the chosen one directly~www.mtlnovel.com~ Luvia can't give the result, so Luvia, please do a divination, and contact the chosen one in Tobesk, and it seems that Pantana wants to cooperate My voodoo club, what are you going to do recently."
He handed out the coin, and Luvia tossed it high into the air. Suddenly, she snorted, and was supported by Xia De in time. Once her price divination is carried out continuously, it will consume too much mental power:
"Voodoo will want to release the evils of Pantanal, and not only the evils of Pantanal, there are more than one evils sealed in the Great Swamp. When the stars reach the right position, it will be the best destruction The timing of the seal. But the voodoo society must rely on the power of the fourth chosen person, and the fourth chosen person chose the Great Swamp area to hold the ceremony, also because the ceremony venue provided by the voodoo society has the ability to enhance his power method, let him touch the real crown of wisdom."
Luvia was supported by Xia De, her purple eyes looked at the two of them:
"No amount of divination can come out, but the evil thing in the Pantanal is more terrifying than the 0-level relic between life and death. Even though there are almost no human settlements in the Pantanal area, it must not be allowed to return to the material world .”
