Chapter 34 Coincidence?
Chapter 34 A chance encounter?
The next day, after Kaios got up, he had a simple breakfast and went to the warehouse.
The Western Realm Martial Saint named Guan is still sitting cross-legged in the cage. It seems that she has been sitting like this since she appeared at the auction and has not moved at all.
The halo of light behind her head was still red, just like when Kaios left the warehouse last night.
Kaios didn't say anything today. After walking around the forbidden spirit cage, he told the guards to keep an eye on her, and then asked Salveira to arrange a carriage and go to Yulang City.
He had already read through all the books on the Western Border on the bookshelf in his study room last night, but the relevant records were too limited.
Moreover, most of the recorded content is from a hundred years ago, and the most recent ones are from thirty or forty years ago, so the timeliness is very poor.
So he asked Peter and learned that there was a library run by Shengyou Palace in Yulang City, which contained a huge collection of books.
Each main city has a library built under the auspices of the Holy Blessing Palace. Every month, the library will have briefings on major events in various parts of the Holy Blessing Alliance, which naturally include various battle reports on the northern and western boundaries.
Books and materials published publicly or circulated in a small area in the Holy Blessing Alliance are basically backed up by the library, so if you want to find materials, going to the library is the best choice.
We entered the city by carriage, then transferred to the inner city transfer car. After arriving near the grand theater where the auction was held the night before, we quickly found the Shengyou Palace and the library next to the Shengyou Palace.
The library is a four-story building that covers a very large area and looks very "modern".
In terms of visual effects alone, it seems no smaller than the magnificent Yulang City Shengyou Palace next to it.
He remembered what Pete said last night:
"The former chief judge of Yulang City's Shengyou Palace, Mr. Mbotun, loved books very much, so he presided over the reconstruction of the library of Yulang City that was already dilapidated at that time. Under his strong organization, all the nobles donated a large number of magic coupons
and other resources, making this library built twenty years ago the largest library in the entire Holy Blessing Alliance with the largest collection of books."
After Kaios took Salveira and several guards into the library, they all stayed in a special lounge. Only he could enter the reference area.
After just one minute of wandering around the library, Kaios had a strong feeling that he might become a frequent visitor here in the future...
Grandma, I never read so seriously when I was studying in my previous life.
The first floor of the library is free and open to all nobles, but the second, third, and fourth floors are not accessible to everyone.
Fortunately, when Judge Mbotun was planning to build this library, Kaios Li's grandfather also gave out a large number of magic coupons, so the Li family was also an honorary member of the library.
As a son of the Li family and a lord who has inherited the title of Baron Sanye, he can directly go to the second and third floors of the library. After applying and making a reservation, he may also be able to enter the fourth floor.
However, through the search form on the first floor, the book Kaios was looking for this time was on the second floor, and there was no need to go to the third or fourth floors.
Although only nobles are allowed to enter, there are still a lot of people on the first floor of the library, especially in various art-related categories. There are many people choosing and reading books.
But once you enter the second floor, there are a lot less people.
On the one hand, there are fewer people who can easily enter the second floor. On the other hand, the collection of books on the second floor is relatively not so "popular" and is not something that the nobles of the Holy Blessing Alliance are keen on in this era.
Kaios quickly found the bookshelf related to the local history of the Western Boundary, and was about to turn in to find a book when a figure flashed next to him, and the two almost collided.
"Huh? Ah! Sorry!" The figure who flashed over was also startled.
"Be careful, please go first." After discovering that it was a lady, Kaios also politely said as a gentleman.
"Huh? You are..."
"Ah, what a coincidence." Kaios discovered that the tall girl who almost bumped into him was actually as focused on eating as he was at the banquet before the auction the night before, and she could tell all the ingredients and recipes at once.
That foodie beauty.
That night, Xiao Zhuoan said what was her name? She seemed to be an artist? Kaios didn't remember anything else, but he remembered that this aristocratic lady was beautiful, tall, and very good at eating.
The two simply nodded in greeting and exchanged a few symbolic greetings, but they did not ask each other about their names or family background.
Kaios came here today to check the relevant information about the Western Boundary. He didn't want anyone to know, especially since the noble lady in front of him had participated in the auction the day before yesterday.
The aristocratic lady also wisely did not talk to him any more, and she had no intention of getting to know him further.
Kaios turned directly into the bookshelf on the other side, planning to wait for her to leave before going to the West Boundary Native Historical Area to check it out. But what he didn't expect was that the foodie beauty actually turned into the bookshelf next to the West Boundary Native Historical Area and stood there.
I looked for a book there, and after looking for more than ten minutes, I still didn’t see any intention of leaving.
Kaios glanced at the label on the bookshelf she was browsing, "Alternative Food"? Well, the nickname he gave her was indeed correct, she was indeed a foodie beauty.
Kaios sighed and returned his gaze to the bookshelf where he was, but he was shocked. Only then did he realize that he was standing in the "Fangzhongshu" section. There were all research books in this field in front of him.
The title on the spine of the book can make him think about it.
He quickly pulled out a book at random, then changed the bookshelf and continued to pretend.
After waiting for a long time, he had already finished flipping through "Aristocratic Clothing and Sexual Obsession" in his hand while standing. Kaios found that the foodie beauty was still next to the bookshelf and had not left. He thought for a while and decided to go to the library first.
It’s more natural to go shopping, go around in a circle and come back again.
Kaios went to the third floor first, took a general look at the situation and classification of the books, and after a brief walk around, he went straight to the first floor, planning to go to the briefing area to see if there were any relevant reports on the Western Boundary War, and if he could help.
He determined the identity of the woman in the cage.
"Qinglinhui", whose surname is Guan, has these two keywords, which should help him find his target.
But what he didn't expect was that when he walked to the briefing area, he saw the familiar tall figure again - the beautiful foodie girl was here too!
Is she following me?
No, she seemed to have just finished watching and was about to come out, and the light in the back of her head was gray with a hint of purple. Although she didn't like him, she definitely didn't have much malice, and it was even less likely to follow him and target him.
What does he do.
Moreover, when she saw herself, there was nothing wrong with the surprise in her eyes and the emotions she could sense.
It should just be a coincidence.
After this chance encounter, the two of them didn't say hello anymore, they just nodded briefly and passed each other.
Kaios went over and looked through the briefings related to the Western Border in the past two years, and then he discovered that the briefings were really... "brief" reports.
We did find information that the "Green Scales" was destroyed by the "Marquis of Steel Heart" and the Western Expansion Army, but the information was very brief. Apart from "Marquis of Steel Heart" Joey Steele, there was only the beheaded "Blue Scales".
The names of the president of the Association, Dane Gao, and several contracted servants of Marquis Steelheart, did not appear, and there was no specific information. It was no different from the information he asked from Pete.
When Kaios left the briefing area and returned to the second floor, he met the foodie beauty for the third time!
But this time, she just pretended not to see him, deliberately bypassed a bookshelf and went to the borrowing room next to it - she seemed to be holding a few books in her hands, and she seemed to be going to the borrowing room to read.
Wait, just for a short while, the purple in the aperture behind her head seems to have become much larger?
When we met while eating the night before yesterday, her aperture seemed to be completely gray?
When I met it for the first time today, there seemed to be a hint of yellow in the gray.
Then this third encounter, the purple color has become bigger and bigger?
Kaios immediately understood that this foodie beauty and noble lady might have misunderstood that he was following her!
Damn! This is so unfair!
However, Kaios didn't worry too much. Anyway, he would most likely never see this noble lady again, so he walked to the Western Boundary Native Historical Area and began to concentrate on looking for books.
It wasn't until the evening when his stomach growled that Kaios suddenly came back to his senses in the library room and realized that it was already very late.
Kaios was originally going to take Salveira and a few guards to find a place to have dinner in the city before going back, but unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived on the first floor, library staff came to tell him that there was Beishan
The indentured servant of the manor came over and came to see him if there was something urgent.
He quickly left the review area and immediately saw Harvey standing with Salveira with an anxious expression.
"What's going on? What happened?" Kaios went over and asked.
"Master, that woman...is dead." Harvey said in a low voice.
Chapter completed!
