The Whispering Verses Chapter 1079: Crazy seeker of knowledge
Even without going to the nearby area to inquire about the situation, the onlookers have already pieced together what happened here.
The fire broke out around eight o'clock last night. The raging fire emerged from inside the library filled with books, and then quickly ignited the entire building. Since it was too late when it was discovered, the fire burned all night before it ended.
While the open fire was extinguished, people found a charred body in the basement of the ruins of the library. Judging from the remains of burned metal products and tooth marks, the body belonged to the library. The owner Mr. Booker himself.
The entire library was completely burned down, and the fire devoured everything. In the end, only the collapsed remains of the building and a few wisps of hot smoke that did not often appear in winter were left.
The nearby residents, firefighters, and police who were watching the excitement crowded around the ruins, making the originally deserted library more lively than anywhere else for the first time. However, in all this, the dead Booker It's impossible for sir to know.
In fact, fires are very common in winter due to the use of fireplaces, kerosene lamps, etc. Therefore, even if the police arrived to investigate, people still believed that the incident was most likely an accident. After all, the safe found later did not exist at all. There were traces of tampering, and the gold products and belongings in the basement that were also burned had not been looted.
After understanding the general outline of the matter, Shade still thought it was a bit incredible.
He and Luvia boarded the carriage again to go home. On the carriage, Shade asked Luvia to divine whether this incident was really an accident.
Luvia was in the fourth ring like Shad at this time. She used the building debris and garbage she had just picked up as divination materials. After tossing coins three times in a row, Luvia nodded to Shad:
"It seems 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 this doesn't feel right. You know, my divination talent is very good, and now this result is as if someone deliberately interfered with the divination."
There are many ways to interfere with divination, such as the [Twenty-sided Dice of Destiny] that Shade carries with him.
Shade didn’t need to ask, she tried to get rid of this interference herself. But it was very difficult. Until she returned to Saint Teresa Square, Luvia still could not find a way to perform successful divination.
When the two entered the door and little Mia ran downstairs happily, the purple-eyed girl said to Shade again:
"Yesterday in bed, when you told me what you did to the princess, I remember you said. At about nine o'clock last night, you and Margaret Anjou were in the back of Canary Manor. While they were kissing in the garden, Lykins Prisha jumped off the garden wall."
"Do you suspect that he set fire to the library?"
Shad asked while changing his shoes. Luvia nodded and went upstairs with Shad:
"You and him went to collect a book on Monday, and the library caught fire on Tuesday night. How could there be such a coincidence? We need to investigate this matter clearly."
"How about I go investigate now? You know, I'm still very connected in MI6."
As Shade said, he really stopped going upstairs, but Luvia shook her head:
"Since the arsonist has thought of interfering with divination, it is impossible to leave clues for you. Instead of investigating, why not use a simpler method, Shade, how many coins do you still have in your hand?"
"Two [Coins of Wisdom]."
Xia De replied, but immediately shook his head:
"I can almost predict that the Chosen Ceremony will definitely be held within seven days. Now we are just waiting for Margaret and her party to arrive in Huntington City. At this time, are you sure you want to spend the few coins left? ?"
Luvia frowned slightly and paused for a moment on the stairs before continuing up:
"The purpose of getting the coin is for divination. My inspiration tells me that this matter is very important and it is worth it."
So Shade returned to the basement and took out the coins. The two of them were still doing divination in the living room. As the sky-blue coin was thrown high into the sky, both Shade and Cat saw that the coin had cracks and rust at the highest point, until it fell into a ball. dust.
Luvia opened her eyes:
"He went to collect the "Book of Fools" with you on Monday. On the one hand, it was really for the relic, but after seeing the knowledge inside, he didn't care about the book itself; on the other hand, he originally I heard about Mr. Booker's collection of books and coveted them. I actually went to check them out on Monday."
"Did Jazz really set the fire?"
"Yes, he had planned to do this before leaving Tobesk City. In this way, no one would be able to find out that he did it. During the dinner at Canary Manor yesterday, he left the manor and sneaked in He entered the library, emptied the precious books in the basement, and then killed Mr. Booker who happened to have not left, and picked out his favorite books from the library on the ground floor. ”
Luvia looked serious:
“Few people know what kind of books are in Mr. Booker’s underground collection room. Therefore, after stealing the books, Lykins Plisha selected a few books from the library on the ground floor and placed them upstairs. As for the books stolen from the library, due to the large volume of books in the library, no one could tell after a fire that several books were missing before the fire."
She sighed softly:
"Who would have thought that the chosen one for 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] who has the power of [Recorder]."
He thought again of what the doctor said in the foyer downstairs yesterday morning:
"Crazy thirst for knowledge."
"Probably because of this, judging from your description, Mr. Booker, the book collector, will not sell the books in his collection at will."
Luvia nodded, Shade still couldn’t understand:
"But burning down a library and killing an innocent man for a few books? I now understand why Sir looked down on my friend Professor Drake like that on Monday."
"You said it yourself, crazy thirst for knowledge. And from this point of view, what the devil told you about Prisha is most likely true..."
Luvia took a few deep breaths:
"Shadow, if you had the opportunity to obtain a very precious Rhodes card, but you had to burn down a Rhodes card club and kill an innocent person, would 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, this is also because I have more choices."
Luvia smiled slightly and picked up the cat lying on Shade's lap. This time, little Mia surprisingly didn't struggle:
"This is the difference between you and him - wisdom is the enemy of the wise. Sometimes the desire for knowledge is a good thing, but the desire for knowledge must be restrained. Think about it carefully, why knowledge and wisdom are both related to this person. The name of the chosen one? Knowledge can build wisdom, and wisdom can acquire knowledge."
"Why are every chosen one we meet so weird? The chosen one of darkness stepped into the darkness, the chosen one of death reversed death, and now the chosen one of knowledge and wisdom is crazy again Seeking knowledge..."
Shad sighed.
"At least Iluna is normal."
Luvia reminded, Shade 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, the trouble will probably be even greater."
This is not only because Miss Pavo is in the sixth ring, one ring higher than Sir Prisha, but also because the former is backed by the [Truth Society], and the truth will have the chosen one, which will directly affect the final door being pushed. What happens after opening.
"Yes, if you can't solve Prisha and Ms. Pavo at the same time and find the third pick, then after Lykins Prisha's ceremony, deal with him, just like you did with Darkness . Or at least let the church imprison him. Although it is a bit arrogant, this kind of rational and intelligent madman is more terrifying than a pure madman like Darkness." /
Luvia said, Shade nodded, and just as he was about to talk about his preparations for a ceremony tonight, resonating with the power of the moon, he suddenly heard the sound of bells coming from downstairs:
"Who will come to me? It's the client who asked me to find the cat."
Going downstairs and opening the door, he found Iluna at the door. Shade smiled and moved away from the door:
"Come up quickly, Luvia happens to be here, we are discussing the matter of the chosen ones, Sir Prisha did something wrong."
"What's wrong?"
The seventeen-year-old girl quickly walked into the door:
"We'll talk about this later. I have something urgent to do here. Is Luvia here too? That's great. I was just thinking about going to find her later."
The two returned to the second floor. Luvia heard Iluna’s voice and stood up from the sofa. The latter said quickly:
"Good morning, Luvia, please listen to me. I received a notice an hour ago, asking me to pack my luggage and leave for the south probably tonight. The notice did not mention the specific location, but the landing location should be In the northern part of the Pantanal, in the territory of Delrayon."
There is more than one entrance to the Everglades, and Huntington's location is not strictly the best location. Of course, it's not the worst location.
"It seems that the church is also sure that it is the Pantanal. The response is really fast."
Luvia nodded and looked at the two people standing side by side:
"This time, it's up to you too."
Eluna nodded heavily and said to Shade:
"Wait for my good news, Shade, we will see you in half a week."
"Okay, see you in the Pantanal. But before that, we have one last thing to resolve."
Xia De took out the last [Coin of Wisdom]:
"Direct divination of the chosen one, Luvia cannot give the result, then Luvia, please do a divination, contact the chosen one in Tobesk, and it seems to be Pantanal Voodoo who wants to cooperate. Yes, what are you going to do recently? ”
He handed over the coin, and Luvia threw it high into the air. She suddenly groaned and was supported by Sha De in time. Once her cost divination continued, it would cause too much mental damage:
"The Voodoo Society wants to release the evil things in the Pantanal, and it's not just the evil things in the Pantanal, there are more than one evil things sealed in the Everglades. When the stars reach the right position, it will be the final A good time to break the seal, but the Voodoo Society must rely on the power of the fourth chosen person, and the fourth chosen person chooses the Everglades area to hold the ceremony because there is a place that can be used for the ceremony at the ceremony venue provided by the Voodoo Society. A way to enhance his strength and allow him to touch the true crown of wisdom."
Luvia was supported by Shade and looked at the two of them with purple eyes:
"No matter how many things can be divined, the evil things in the Pantanal are more terrifying than the level 0 relics of the narrow space of life and death. Even though there are almost no human settlements in the Pantanal area, it must not be allowed to reappear. Return to the material world."
