Caesar's words were not completely useless. At least, it made Lolo realize that there was something wrong with her mentality. She was a little anxious because of the note.
This was the first time she had been so depressed. In the past, Luo Luo had also faced many dangers and met many powerful opponents, but her faith had never been shaken. In a sense, the person who wrote the note did have the ability to annoy people at any time, anywhere.
Fortunately, Lolo quickly calmed down. The girl looked at the giant rabbit on the sofa with its legs crossed and scratched her head.
The rookie, The Brave, could not figure out the meaning of the rabbit.
Although the guy emphasized in the note that it was a gift to express his gratitude, the rabbit gave off a cheap vibe from head to toe. Its slightly curled lips seemed to be mocking her all the time. Such a thing could not be called a gift at all. Instead, it was more like a winner showing off.
Putting such a doll in her house was completely making her unhappy, especially when it was of unknown origin. It was not a wise choice to put it in the house. But it was getting late now. She planned to throw it into the garbage dump outside the school first thing in the morning.
Well, it did not seem appropriate to let it sit on the sofa until dawn. What if she woke up at night to drink water or go to the toilet and saw a black shadow in the living room? It would be quite scary. So, Lolo found a cardboard box and decided to put the rabbit in first. When Luo Luo picked up the doll, she accidentally touched the doll's chest. She felt a hard lump about the size of a fist where the doll's heart should be. It was slightly irregular in shape.
Her intuition told her that this hard lump was a little strange. Although the rabbit was cheap, just like what the guy who left the note said, the craftsmanship was very exquisite. The doll's body was completely filled with cotton, and it was very comfortable to the touch. The fabric used to sew it was actually the work of the elves. The ears, eyes, nose, and mouth were all embroidered vividly … Ugh, in a sense, the guy had put in a lot of effort to make such a silly joke.
In short, the making of this rabbit was quite a lot of thought. It was hard to imagine that the maker would make a low-level mistake of accidentally sewing a stone in.
But, Lolo took out a dagger and cut a hole near the hard lump. She reached her hand in and pulled out a black stone from the doll's body.
But this stone was different from the smooth pebbles commonly seen in the river. It looked like a broken reef, but the potholes on the surface of the black stone were not as messy as the usual reef. It seemed to have some kind of strange pattern, and it was at least half the weight of a normal stone. it felt cool to the touch.
What is this? Lolo was a little puzzled. She had never seen such a strange stone before. It looked like some kind of magical material, but it did not have any elemental waves. Unfortunately, "Common Magical Materials Identification and Processing" was a compulsory course for second-year students. Currently, the rookie The Brave could only identify a limited number of magical materials. In the end, she could only put the black stone into a small box and lock it.
The rookie Hero had always been wary of the owner of the golem. Now, it seemed that the owner of the golem knew everything about her, and he seemed to know a lot about what happened in the Bretton family. Luo Luo had enough reason to suspect that he was involved in the incident back then in some way, but it was still unclear what role he played in it.
From his previous actions, it was obvious that he was not her father's friend, but he did not seem to be on the same side as the temple.
Luo Luo felt a strong sense of crisis. Since her identity was already known, she wasn't far from being exposed. Although the owner of the golem didn't threaten her, what happened in the small courtyard not long ago had already sounded the alarm for Luo Luo.
It was undoubtedly a very stupid thing to pin her hope on the kindness of the owner of the golem. Perhaps the owner of the golem did not disclose her identity to the public because she was still useful. The girl had to prepare for the worst. Maybe it would not be long before the temple would get news of her, and then they would definitely take action.
This time, the girl did not plan to run away. If she could not deal with the threat from the temple in Gudilesi, the city of sorcerers, she would not be able to get rid of the huge shadow behind her no matter where she went. Besides, she had now taken the first step to becoming a sorcerer and was working hard to learn from books and teachers. It was unlikely that she would interrupt her studies and leave the school at this time.
Luo Luo sighed. It was a pity that this moment had arrived much earlier than she had expected. This was also why she had been so annoyed. She was still very weak right now, so she did not have much confidence in facing the incoming attacks from the shrine. However, Luo Luo had never been one to feel sorry for herself.
There was no class the next morning, but Lolo still got out of bed early in the morning. She carefully searched the doll in the cardboard box from head to toe to make sure that there was nothing except cotton in the rabbit's body. Then, she threw the malicious doll together with the cardboard box into the garbage dump outside the school.
After that, Luo Luo went straight to the library. She wanted to find out what the black stone was first. However, she spent the whole morning flipping through all the books that recorded magic materials, but she still couldn't find any description of the black stone.
Unwilling to give up, she went to the Raphael Library again at noon. The collection there was nearly a hundred times more than that of the school library, and there were many unique and precious ancient books. No matter where the black stone came from, she should be able to find some information about it in the oldest library in the Dawn Continent.
Coincidentally, Arikos was also working in the library today. The young librarian was helping a few young scholars who were studying the history of the elves choose some documents. When he saw Lolo, he greeted her and gestured for her to wait for a moment.
The young man quickly finished his work at hand. After seeing off his juniors, he quickly walked over to Arikos. After the incident last time, Arikos seemed to have matured a lot. The young librarian had accepted his teacher's teachings and calmly faced his love for the girl. At the same time, he buried this doomed love deep in his heart, making it a beautiful memory and no longer feeling jealous.
"Miss Lolo, long time no see." The young man was indeed a little shy when facing the girl, but his eyes were clear. "I heard that you have become a magician. I haven't had the chance to congratulate you. Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Well, I want to find out the origin of a kind of stone."
Arikos raised his eyebrows. "Stone? Is it some kind of magic material? "
"Well … I'm not sure." Finding nothing in the school library in the morning made Lolo a little suspicious. Was it a magic material? Or was it just a relatively rare ore?
"I understand. But I'm mainly in charge of the history section in the library. Someone else is in charge of the magic and geology section. How about this? I'll tell them your request. When they are done choosing books, we'll split up to look for it," the young librarian said.
"No need, no need. I can do it myself." The girl still did not know what the black stone was and whether it would be dangerous. She did not want to drag Arikos into this matter again.
The young librarian had been in this job for a long time and met all kinds of people. He also knew that some people wanted to keep the things they were looking for secret, so he did not find it strange. He nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll ask my two colleagues to come over. If you have any requests, you can tell them directly. Also, if there's anything else, you can look for me at any time."
Lolo thanked Arikos. With the help of the other two librarians, she borrowed a set of "The Encyclopedia of Magic Materials" that had just been revised last September and the thickest "Rare Ores Illustrated Handbook" in the library.
