Summoning the Holy Sword Chapter 169: The immobile large library
Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
Inside the high tower, among the lush trees, a 3-Layer high library stands quietly. The already dilapidated exterior wall was covered with vines and green leaves everywhere, with a rare calm and serene atmosphere, Rhodes pushed open the door, and soon saw the petite figure sitting at the table reading a book quietly . The girl raised her head curiously when she heard the noise when she opened the door, and then she smiled excitedly.
"Ah ......... Rhodes ..."
"Chris, are you reading again?"
Rhodes said, looking around. The quiet library in front of him was also part of high tower. Listening to the elders, it was once a valuable cultural treasure house of Shenia Clan. But no one has been here for a long time. On the contrary, Chris seemed to like it very much, and came here every day to read books. To the surprise of Rhodes, although the book here is not written in lingua franca, Chris seems to be unobstructed to read. But if you think about the other half of her body, soul, then it seems that it is not unacceptable.
The other half soul ...............
This is why Rhodes is currently here.
The reason why Marlene followed him has been clarified. Then the only thing left is Chris. For originally, letting a frail child like Chris enter Land of Chaos to travel is a cruel torture in itself. If you can, Rhodes feels like you do n’t want to bring her. But after hearing Chris's words, Rhodes finally changed his mind. But the problem is that until now, Marlene has already expressed its meaning, but Chris is the same as before, and there is no change. After coming to Fire Seed Source, she reads books in this library based on originally. It seems that there is nothing to do.
"Chris, how are you feeling here? How are you doing?"
Rhodes walked to the side of Chris, toward Ling nodded standing silently behind Chris, and then stretched out his hand while stroking the head of Chris, started talking. And feel the touch of Rhodes', Chris with a happy smile eyes narrowed, and then gently nodded.
"Un ......... Rhodes, it is quiet and very comfortable here. There are so many interesting books to read ..."
"This is fine."
After hearing Chris ’s answer, Rhodes has a somewhat reassuring smile on his face. Although I don't know why "another Christie" must let Chris come here, but seeing her current appearance actually makes Rhodes feel relieved a lot. originally thought it would make her feel tired because of the long journey, but now it seems that everything is fine. Thinking of this, Rhodes glanced at Ling standing quietly behind Chris pedicle. At this moment, she just stood blankly behind Chris. Two eyes looked at the pages in the hands of Chris. They seemed to be reading with Chris.
These two little brat are really interesting. Seeing this scene in front of me, Rhodes nodded, then retreated quietly. At first, it seemed to be the right choice to give Ling to Chris. For Chris, she needed a friend of similar age. For Ling, who had never been in contact with the outside world, she needed a kind, able help and guidance Own person. For her, Chris is the best guide.
For now, let ’s do this.
Thinking of this, Rhodes took two steps to retreat, so that the two girls were almost immersed in the world of books, and they wandered in the library themselves. Although I do n’t know what “another Christie” is going to do, but tomorrow ’s evacuation is the beginning of the battle. If it is not possible, let Chris follow him into Dungeon of Fire Seed Source. Although there is danger, it is safer than outside. . And Rhodes believes that there is oneself, no matter how dangerous it can protect Chris pedicles. With Ling following her, there is no particular danger. Maybe, just as Marlene came here to inform Rhodes of his purpose, Chris also has something to do. Since Chris has not yet intended to explain it, it is that she has not received any news from another herself.
"Boom."
"Hey Iya!"
While Rhodes wandered leisurely in the book tube to divert his thoughts, he suddenly felt a slight impact on his chest, and then only heard a soft whisper, then the impact of the book falling to the ground sounded, Rhodes subconsciously Looking down, I realized that I was not far away from my side, and at the moment I was sitting with a girl. She has long black hair that is smooth and straight to her waist. Wearing a black, plain dress and stockings of the same color, and dark brown leather shoes. At this moment the girl just fell on the ground, and beside her, the books were scattered all over the place.
"Sorry, I did n’t notice anyone."
Rhodes said, reaching out. The girl glanced quietly at the man in front of her, then grabbed Rhodes' hand and stood up, then started talking. "No, I'm sorry, Lord Sir, I didn't notice you." After saying this, the girl squatted down and started to clean up the books here.
"Are you also a resident here?"
Rhodes looked at the girl in front of her curiously. Her dress is not the same as what Rhodes has seen elsewhere, that is, it is not Pseudo-Person, which is a bit similar to the white leather armor that biochemical people in science fiction dramas wear. It is not the kind of rough robes and outerwear worn by the residents of Fire Seed Source here. On the contrary, the girl wears a kind of clothing that is somewhat similar to the ancient Noble Qianjincai eldest young miss. This can't help but makes Rhodes a little curious. If he remembers nothing wrong, the elders here have introduced themselves to the composition of Fire Seed Source residents. In this world that is completely closed and isolated from the outside world, there is no rank, although there are Ruler and ruled, but there is no such thing as Noble.
After hearing the Rhodes' inquiry, the girl raised her head and looked around the tall, quiet and somewhat dark library before her eyes, and then nodded.
"Yes, I am a resident here, Lord Sir."
……………… Although the meaning does n’t seem to fit, it does n’t matter if you can communicate.
"Coming back, why did you call me Lord Sir?"
Watching the girl quietly organize the book, Rhodes can't help but curious asked. Hearing his inquiry, the girl glanced at him with that dark, seemingly inorganic eye.
"Because I listen to those outsiders calling you Lord Sir, isn't it? This is the honour of the ruler who has control over a territory. Although according to the customs here and your current identity, I should call you Elder Sir, but in order to Not to be confused with the previous Elder Sir, so I only use the title for the outside ruler. If you think there is something wrong, I can change the title. "
The girl ’s voice is like this quiet library, soft, quiet, and even without any echo, but it is clearly passed into the ears of Rhodes'. Hearing the girl's words, Rhodes shrugged his shoulders, and then he reached out and picked up the thick stack of books that the girl arranged neatly. This makes the girl can't help but gawked in front of him.
"Lord Sir?"
"Since I hit you, let me apologize, where are you going to put this?"
There are dozens of books in front of me. The stack is already a tall stack. In this case, it is very difficult to see the road in front of me. No wonder the girl just hit herself. But ...............
"Please follow me."
For the help of Rhodes', the girl did not respond in a special way, but instead turned around for granted, and then took Rhodes to travel around the middle east of the library for a long time. Stopped below.
"This is it, please give me these books."
"No problem."
Rhodes put down the book in his hand and looked at all of it in curiosity. There was no dust on the floor. Even the window sill and the bookshelf next to it were very clean. It could be seen that it was carefully sorted and cleaned. Only .........
"Is it necessary to organize here? If I remember right, it seems that no one comes to the library to read books."
In the past, Rhodes did ask the elders curiously, but the other party said that this library would not be visited by ordinary people, it seems that it is because there is no interest. And Rhodes also noticed that there are no other guests except Chris and Ling. Of course, considering the current situation, I am afraid that those who are interested are also preparing for evacuation and refuge.
"Even if no one comes, this is my job. And ..."
Speaking of this, the girl looked up and looked at the two petite figures who were reading books in the distance.
"... for now, my work is not meaningless."
"It is true."
When I saw Chris and Ling, a smile appeared on the expressionless face of Rhodes originally, but soon, he recovered original calmness and indifference.
"Then the two children please you. By the way, tomorrow is the last day of evacuation and evacuation. Before that, you should almost prepare to take refuge. From the day after tomorrow, we have to face quite fierce Attacks, I am afraid they will be attacked here. "
"... I know, thank you for your kindness."
"You are welcome."
In response to the girl ’s words, Rhodes waved his hand and turned away. But he only took a few steps, and suddenly turned his head like he remembered something.
"Oh ......... Un?"
In the eyes of Rhodes', I only saw the books scattered on the bookshelf. At this moment, calm is neatly arranged where I should be. In front of the bookshelf, the girl who was standing there just now has disappeared. RS
