[Library – Advanced Reading Room]
It was one of the highly restricted areas of the Knight Academy.
The sealed book collection inside was also unique in the Holy City.
Most of the people who came here were teachers of the Knight Academy or members of the Order of Knights who continued to read information.
Every time they entered, they had to pay a high reading fee, regardless of whether they borrowed books or not.
Han Dong used his relationship with Deputy Director Hera, his identity as a Knight, and his first place in the Knight Conference. As long as he paid the fee, he could come here to read at any time.
"Proveston's Book of the Dead", "The Dark History of the Wattley Family", "The Death of the Styx"
These sealed books, which required one to have their identity verified, sign a confidentiality agreement, and pay a large sum of money to borrow them, were the books that Han Dong had been reading recently.
The inside of the books talked about some black magic factions, origins, and derivative stories.
At the same time, it also contained some incomplete original pages of unknown origins, as well as the author's interesting personal understanding of black magic.
Perhaps because the great expedition was about to begin, there were only a few people in the advanced reading area.
Han Dong held the three books and found a quiet and relatively empty corner.
After flipping through the books for less than ten minutes, there was suddenly an additional smell in the air of the reading room. A different smell … Generally speaking, most of the readers who went to the advanced reading room were fixed.
Han Dong had been here for so long that he was basically familiar with everyone's smell.
Just as he smelled this unique scent, he suddenly realized that something was amiss.
The [Dark Blood Skull] hidden in his collar also reacted, scaring Han Dong so much that he immediately woke up Count in his body and suppressed the Dark Blood reaction together.
Han Dong had never seen such a situation before.
Even when he met the Blood Knight, Lucius, only the latter sensed the power of the Dark Blood, but the skull itself did not have any reaction.
"A high-level Knight of the Scarlet Knights?"
When he looked through the closely arranged bookshelves, an exquisite woman happened to push the door open and enter the reading room.
She wore a black leather corset with silver-white fasteners.
She wore a loose black hooded coat.
Under the black skirt that just passed her knees, a pair of black silk stockings with ring-shaped patterns was revealed.
It was paired with a pair of exquisite black leather shoes.
The relatively large hood covered more than half of her face, revealing only a little of her fair and tender face, a tall nose, and a pair of plump lips.
The fresh and moist color of her lips didn't seem to be the effect of lipstick. Instead, it was the [Bright Red] that this woman carried herself … Her red lips were particularly eye-catching under the pure black color of her outfit.
The woman also borrowed a few sealed books.
With a rather sexy gait, she slowly walked over from the aisle of bookshelves.
Her every move carried a hint of charm.
He arrived at Han Dong's desk and slowly sat down opposite him.
However, Han Dong's gaze did not linger on the woman for too long.
He continued to read the book in his hand, and in a short period of time, he once again immersed himself in reading.
That was it.
The two of them looked at the books in their hands. They didn't get up, didn't drink water, and didn't do anything else. It was time for the library to close.
The gentle melody of the piano pulled Han Dong out of the story world. He subconsciously glanced at the woman sitting opposite him.
Since the other party didn't greet him, Han Dong directly packed up his books and prepared to leave.
However, just as Han Dong stood up, a voice suddenly rang out.
A charming voice echoed in Han Dong's mind.
Just the sound alone stimulated the blood in his body to accelerate, causing a stream of blood to flow out of his nose …
"I have already told Director Reynolds that after the library closes tonight, I will occupy this advanced reading room alone … If you want to continue reading, you can stay here."
"Okay."
Han Dong continued to sit down and read.
After a while.
The librarian in charge of this area brought two fresh steak with blood and a bottle of red wine that was more than fifty years old.
This scene was enough to show that the woman in front of him was different.
"Want to eat something?"
"Thank you."
Han Dong didn't refuse. He was indeed hungry.
While eating, the woman sitting opposite him finally took off her hood. Under the slightly curly black hair, there was a beautiful flawless face.
Han Dong was slightly surprised by this appearance, but he quickly shifted his gaze to the steak.
Compared to the woman, the steak was more fragrant.
However, just as he cut a piece of steak and put it into his mouth.
Han Dong suddenly realized that the woman in front of him was somewhat familiar, but because of her hairstyle, makeup, and aura, as well as his hunger, he couldn't recall it for a while.
Soon, he compared it with the image in the depths of his memory.
He knelt down on one knee.
"Greetings, Captain Xia Ya."
"Oh … You only recognized me now?"
"See no evil, I didn't pay much attention … Also, when I saw Captain Xia Ya at the city gate, your image and temperament are very different from now. I was still thinking about the story in the book, so I didn't react for a while."
"It seems that you spend a lot of time in the library. Don't be restrained by etiquette, drink with me."
"Yes …"
The red wine seemed to have an additional 'scarlet' color because of Captain Xia Ya's contact.
Ordinary people would find it difficult to accept, but Han Dong, who had tasted blood wine and watered his Talent Tree with it, felt that this red wine was exceptionally delicious.
In order to avoid awkwardness, Han Dong found a piece of news that he had heard not long ago to start a conversation.
"I heard that Captain Xia Ya will be going on an expedition as the 'Fourth General'. Congratulations!"
Captain Xia Ya's expression became ugly as she slowly swallowed the steak in her mouth. "To be honest, I still want to live for a few more years … After all, at this stage, I'm not really at my peak. Joining the expedition is just the arrangement of the council.
Personally, I don't have much confidence that we will be able to achieve our goals in this great expedition.
Let's not talk about this for now … Speaking of which, you have two unique auras.
The first one, I smelled during the [Great Betrayer] incident. According to my investigation, it should come from the 'Scarlet Mountain Villa' that you and Lucius came in contact with together.
There should be a high-level Hybrid Demon that belongs to the Blood God.
He's the target of your lousy seed, right?
As for the second aura, it seems to have appeared recently. I smelled it downstairs in the library … It's a King-level aura, not from outside the city, but from the Destiny Realm. Am I right?
Did you get it yourself, or did Crow or Hugo give it to you? "
"It's a Destiny Treasure that I got from the [Final Reward] chain event. It's an incomplete item."
Han Dong did not hesitate and took out the 'Underworld Blood Skull' hidden in his chest.
For a moment, Captain Xia Ya's eyes flashed with a fresh luster as she reached out and touched the surface of the skull.
[Blood Resonance]
Nearly a thousand books in the advanced reading room began to flip, and the words on the books emitted a crimson light … Immediately after, a red tide poured out.
It completely flooded the library.
