Boom! Suddenly, a loud sound came from behind Li Huailin. Li Huailin turned around and discovered that the door behind him had closed. Moreover, there seemed to be a strange blue mark on the door that looked like a seal.
Not only the door, but Li Huailin also discovered that the entire room was covered in the same mark. Li Huailin turned back to look at the young lady who claimed to be the librarian. Her body was bursting with a blue radiance, so it was obvious that she was the one who cast the spell.
"What's going on?" Celston was also dumbfounded as though he didn't know what was going on. However, Madot was different. He seemed to have a clear goal in mind. After attacking the bookshelf, his figure flashed and he disappeared into thin air.
"What?" Celston was very surprised. But before he could ask what was going on, Rem, the librarian in front, spoke. "You deliberately destroyed the books … You will pay the price."
"Eh?" Li Huailin was taken aback. He roughly understood the situation. It seemed like this was Madot's plan. He probably knew about this librarian and tricked me into coming here to deliberately destroy the books and infuriate the librarian.
According to Li Huailin's calculations, if the librarian was angry, she wouldn't directly kill them. Instead, she would trap them here. Because Madot knew that he was a player, so what was the point of killing him? If he died, wouldn't he continue looking for him? Did he think he could escape?
Madot's sudden disappearance might also be because he learned a new skill. Previously, he had displayed a new skill after devouring something. This time, he might also have gained a new skill. And this skill was probably something like invisibility or cloning. If it was invisibility, the other party might have prepared another way out. If it was a doppelganger, then the other party must have left a doppelganger behind when he wasn't paying attention, leaving the main body outside. In short, he probably wanted to trap him here.
"Wait a minute." Li Huailin said to the enraged Liam, then disappeared in a flash of white light. Yes, teleportation was still on cooldown, but the Temple could be entered and exited at any time. Li Huailin naturally entered the Temple to give it a try. In the end, he still managed to enter. He wasn't locked. Since Li Huailin had already entered the Temple, he could go straight to the Duke's mansion through the main gate of the Temple. This meant that he wasn't locked up.
After testing it out, Li Huailin returned to his original position with a flash of white light. He glanced at Celston, who clearly didn't know what was going on. He had also been sold out by Madort. Li Huailin ignored him and looked at Liam. Her entire body was glowing with blue light as if she was ready to attack at any moment. She was completely different from the quiet girl from before.
"Wait, wait, wait." Li Huailin hurriedly said, "Let's talk this out. The one who destroyed the bookshelf was someone else, right? It has nothing to do with us, right?"
"Are you trying to say that you guys aren't on the same side?" Liam asked.
"Of course. He is him, and I am me. How can we be on the same side?" Li Huailin smiled.
"Do you think you can get away with this …"
Before Liam could finish, Li Huailin raised his hand and pointed at the bookshelf beside him. A black flame flew out from Li Huailin's hand and struck the bookshelf with a bang. Of course, the flame immediately ignited.
"Alright, I destroyed the bookshelf this time. Count it on me." Li Huailin nodded.
"Huh?" Celston, who was watching from the side, had a dumbfounded expression on his face. Previously, Maddott's sudden attack had already left him dumbfounded. He really didn't know what Maddott was planning. Of course, during this short period of time, he could guess what Maddott was planning. He also knew why Maddott didn't want to discuss it with him. In his opinion, this method was too unreliable. He was 100% against it. This was gambling with the lives of his clansmen, and Madott's bargaining chip was this little girl who looked like she was in her teens. How could this be reliable?
Celston was a little panicked. But since he had already made his move, he decided to observe the situation first. He didn't know that the Evil Demons' library had such a librarian. Perhaps he really had some ability. However, he couldn't understand Li Huailin's actions at all. At first, when Li Huailin explained that they weren't on the same side, he thought that Li Huailin wanted to distance himself from them. Of course, this was a normal reaction. Celston was still considering whether he should cooperate with Madot or something. But the situation after that was confusing. What was going on with Li Huailin making a move in front of her? Although the little girl in front of him didn't look like much, she was very strange. Shouldn't he test her a little? Wasn't he too daring to provoke her directly? Was he that confident?
Let alone Celston, even Liam was stunned for a long time. Of course, when she saw the burning bookshelf beside her, she flew into a rage. "You … You did too well!"
"Huh?" Celston was taken aback once more. Too well done? He was sure that he didn't hear wrongly. She really did praise Li Huailin. But what was going on? Judging from the situation just now, this little girl was obviously very angry. Her face suddenly changed 180 degrees.
"Mm-hmm." Li Huailin nodded casually. "I just burned your books. You don't have to be too grateful for this small favor."
"You … are a good person." Liam seemed to really like Li Huailin. She smiled and nodded gratefully. But soon, she turned around and pointed at Celston. Her tone wasn't pleasant. "What about you? Are you on the same side as the person who just destroyed the books? "
"This …" Celston really didn't know how to answer. So, did this librarian like him destroying books or hate him? In theory, she should hate him. But why did she look especially grateful to Li Huailin? So, should he admit it or deny it?
"You seem to be one of the Four Kings of the Evil Demons, right? That guy just now too … So, you guys are on the same side?" Liam seemed to have recognized Celston and questioned him again.
Celston frowned again. The other party had already recognized him and was still so fearless. It seemed like he wasn't afraid of the Four Kings at all. This meant that this librarian needed to be more careful. So, how should he answer …
While Celston was still thinking about what to do, Li Huailin suddenly said, "No, no, no. I said that guy just now isn't on the same side as us. I don't know why he suddenly went crazy. I will find him later. Let's not worry about this for now. We are here to look for information."
"Oh … I see." Liam nodded and listened to Li Huailin. Yes, if it was Celston's answer, Liam wouldn't believe him even if she immediately denied it. But now that it was Li Huailin's answer, she believed him. Because Liam and Li Huailin's favorability towards each other was very high. They had only casually burned a few books and now their favorability was almost maxed out. It seemed like Liam really valued these books.
With the current favorability, she naturally trusted Li Huailin. However, Celston was even more confused. Why were the two of them so close now? Just what in the world was going on?
"So, what books are you looking for?" Liam asked Li Huailin. It was obvious that she had no intention of asking Celston. She didn't really trust Celston. Even though Li Huailin explained, she still ignored him.
"Actually, we are here to look for historical books about the Evil Demons. Mainly about how the Evil Demons lived in the Ferric Continent. Are there any books about this?" Li Huailin asked. Yes, he wasn't here to help Celston. He just didn't want to waste time.
"Yes, there are a lot of them," Liam replied.
"A lot?" Li Huailin was a little surprised. "How many?"
"It's on the bookshelves over there, and on the bookshelves you just burned," Rem replied calmly.
"Huh? WTF? " Li Huailin was stunned. He looked at the bookshelves he burned and then at the ones Liam pointed at. He felt a headache coming on. That's right, the bookshelves Liam pointed at were almost full. There were a lot of books on them, at least a thousand. How could he read all of them? Moreover, a part of it had already been burned by Li Huailin. What if the information he was looking for was in this part of the book that was burned? Wouldn't that be even more stupid?
It was like shooting himself in the foot. While Li Huailin was having a headache, Liam suddenly asked, "Can you read the Ancient Demon Language?"
"Hey, hey, it's still written in the common language." Li Huailin facepalmed. This was even more troublesome. Suddenly, Li Huailin thought of something and asked Liam, "You can read it? Or … have you read it? "
"Of course, I've read every book here." Liam nodded. "If you want to know something and are afraid that you can't find it, you can ask me."
