I entered the game in advance and found that I was invincible

Yokai are fundamentally individualistic creatures who like to act alone.

The only time they come together, in solidarity, is in the war against the gods.

However, now that the gods have disappeared, the demon factions started to quarrel and began to think about attacking each other.

That's why the demon kings are eager to conquer the Yisi Continent.

If they stay in the Demon Realm without doing anything, the opponent's territory will be much larger than their own.

By the way, Ashura can be an ally of the demon kings, or an enemy of the demon kings.It all depends on the situation.

It's hard to imagine the entire Demon faction joining forces to face Asura.

Prithy made a wise decision, the silver-haired witch.If you keep him with you, you will lose more than gain.

I never said I wanted to be close to him.I'm just curious what kind of person he is.

The man who killed the envious witch Cremilde and absorbed her soul.

Lilith wondered about his origins and goals.

I haven't felt like this in a long time.

This possessive desire gradually grew deep in her heart.

Lilith's frozen heart began to beat violently again.

So why don't you go find him yourself and talk to him?You may be able to make him your slave and obtain his obedience.

Now is not the time.He is still growing.I will observe him for a while.

To accomplish her new plan, Asura needs to be stronger than he is now.

The same is true for Alice.

She still has a long way to go before she can be called a true queen of thorns.

Just what are you planning, Lilith?
Hu, who knows?Nothing.

The fewer people who know, the better.

Lilith licked her scarlet lips, she had a mysterious smile on her face.

***
After solving the shadow killer case, Long Xiangtian received the promised reward from Earl Oswald.

A pass to the Royal Library and a thousand gold coins.The money he received included the part that should have been given to Pitupi patriarch Shen Dongil.

These results are not bad.

Although he failed to catch Amy Klein, he somewhat figured out her plan.

The reason why she carried out those assassinations was to plunge the Kingdom of Izuna into chaos and increase the influence of the Witch Cult.

But now that her face has been seen and her tricks have been exposed, she can no longer act recklessly.

However, this obviously does not mean that the Witch Church has given up on Izanah.

Well, here we go now.

Good bye my friend.If you need my help, feel free to contact me.

Earl Oswald waved to them sadly, and Long Xiangtian and Cui Kane left the mansion.

His memory of the previous night has been wiped by a distraught Lyle.

Now even if they leave him here alone, there will be no problem.

But what are you looking for in the Royal Library?
Anonymous classics.

A collection of books revealing information about the Ark of Knowledge.

Long Xiangtian was sure that this was the necessary key for him to get to the throne of God.

He may also receive missions related to the three eras.

Long Xiangtian recalled the past while walking, and Cui Kaien followed him a few steps.

I really missed a lot of things back then.

Although after a arduous journey, he succeeded in restoring the "Nagahamaji Chronicle", but he has never had the opportunity to complete the other two chronicles with this unnamed book.

At that time, he didn't even know the existence of these ancient books.

In terms of importance, these things are as important as the colorful rings.

This time I should start with the Chronicles of Ada.

Completing the epic task of "Naghammadi Chronicle" will inevitably result in worse rewards than the previous one, but he doesn't even know the location of "Sangreel Chronicle".

On the other hand, he knew the approximate location of the "Ada Chronicle", and he also knew the true ending of the "Nibelungen Rid".So once he will get the Chronicle of Ada, he can restore it.

It will take a long time to achieve this goal. Although he has to reconsider his future plans and itinerary, there is no need for him to rush.

Then after you get that classic, will you return to the Kingdom of the Rhine?
indeed so.

As a monarch, he cannot leave the kingdom's throne vacant for too long.

No matter how good a regent Joanna is, if the king is away for too long, the state will be in chaos.

Even if he has eliminated the rebellious nobles in the country, there is no guarantee that such corrupt nobles will not appear again.

Other demons, including Lord Volak, will also target the kingdom in his absence.

After Long Xiangtian finished explaining, Cui Kaiyin's face lit up.

She already wanted to use the one thousand gold she got from Count Oswald to prepare her own base.

When I get to Florentia, I will buy a ranch and raise horses with peace of mind.

Your dream is to own a horse farm?
I should make good use of my strengths.And that's the only ordinary thing I can do in this world.

If walking the path of the beast tamer, she needs a disguise job to deceive the surrounding residents.

After listening to her words, Long Xiangtian nodded.

It's definitely not a bad idea.But if you want, I can help you become an actor.

Let's talk about it later.I'll let you know when I feel ready.

Cui Kaiyin has not recovered from the trauma because of the rape.

She still can't go on stage with people staring at her from every angle.

And now that the world is in chaos, she can't calm down and pretends to be nonchalant on the stage.

We are almost there.

Is that a library?so big.

An antique building is standing next to the Violet Cathedral.

When Long Xiangtian and Cui Kaien approached the entrance, a guard blocked their way.

Please show your ID.

I am Count Oswald.

Long Xiangtian responded meaningfully while showing him the pass to the royal library.

This time, like Cui Kaiyin, he also wore extravagant clothes.

The guard observed the two of them before formally saluting them.

Sorry for my ignorance.Please forgive my disrespect.

Even after the Shadow Killer went missing, Neferti's internal security remained as tight as ever, as they feared such an incident would happen again.

We are likely to be observed inside the library as well.

He couldn't act suspicious until he found the unnamed tome.

Long Xiangtian walked into the royal library calmly.

Are we really going to search the whole building?

If we want to shorten the time, we need to use our brains.

He didn't think that anonymous tome would be hidden among ordinary books.Long Xiangtian walked into the royal library calmly.

Are we really going to search the whole building?

If we want to shorten the time, we need to use our brains.

He didn't think that anonymous tome would be hidden among ordinary books.

Its location is likely to be a place that people will not touch, a place of significance and symbolism.

When Long Xiangtian was observing the layout of the library, an old young man walked towards them.

Do you have the book you are looking for?

Thin body, wearing round gold glasses.

He is a librarian.

It came just fine.

He has something to ask.

Long Xiangtian grabbed the librarian in front of him and whispered in his ear.

Isn't there a secret area in this library?

Secret area?
The librarian was shocked and asked back in surprise.

Long Xiangtian nodded.

An area that can only be accessed by those with a high membership level.

Zha, that is
The librarian stuttered.

The question was so sudden that he couldn't think of a suitable answer.

As I expected.

Many important people often step into the royal library.

Most of them like to avoid the eyes of ordinary nobles, so they use the cost of sponsoring the library to provide them with a secret and quiet area.

The unnamed tome can be located in this secret area.Long Xiangtian took out Jack's pocket watch.

If you have trouble answering, I'll change the question.Did you see his watch?

Oh yes.It seems to be quite a luxury item.

I have a suggestion.From now on, I will rock this watch sideways in front of you.If you don't take your eyes off it for 10 seconds, I'll give you a gold.

This doesn't seem too difficult to do.Please allow me a piece of the action.

The librarian readily accepted Long Xiangtian's proposal.

His mind was all on gold, and he completely forgot about the question just now.

Let me do it.

Long Xiangtian started to move his hands, and the pocket watch moved horizontally like a pendulum.

As the librarian stares at his watch, he is slowly hypnotized.

Take me to the secret area.

Yes.

The man replied with unfocused eyes.

Cui Kaiyun was taken aback by this scene.

Did you study psychology before you were called here?
No, this is just an effect of the item.

Originally it could only be used to hypnotize weak opponents, but the librarian is a bit of a brain, and the effect happened immediately.

Things are going well.

If he hadn't been hypnotized, Long Xiangtian would have used force even at the risk of exposing himself.

Long Xiangtian heaved a sigh of relief and followed behind the librarian.The librarian leads the way to the secret area.

But a problem soon arose.

The entrance is well hidden and they cannot reach the inner area.

As I thought, they set it up so that only people with a membership can get in.

The door can only be activated by a special token or a special code.

Long Xiangtian repeatedly stared at the goddess statues on both sides of the door, and then took out a golden magnifying glass.

We don't have time to wait for people with membership to arrive.

And even if someone really came, the chance of him letting Long Xiangtian in is very low.

It is likely that there will be a big scene, and the security of the Royal Library will be tightened.

In other words, the current mess must be overcome by the three of them.

What if we went back and asked Count Oswald?we can't do it now
When Long Xiangtian checked the surface of the wall with a magnifying glass, Cui Kaiyin had the same thought.

This is currently the most reasonable choice, but Long Xiangtian still shook his head.

Count Oswald may not be able to enter the secret area.A person with membership is likely to be a member of other secret societies as well, which is not the case for him.

Groups like the Golden Rose Society and Pronoia are typical examples of such organizations.

The Golden Rose Society is a group of technical experts who want to maximize their influence on the mainland and control the mainland behind the scenes.

Pronoas are a group of high priests who, like fanatics, uncritically accept the content of the Gospel and completely exclude values ​​and actions against it.

Although their inclinations vary depending on the purpose of the organization, their members are all celebrities with great social influence.

Uh... Does that mean that this is a dangerous den of wolves?

It will do us no good to face them recklessly.

Come on, we've found the door.I don't want to get involved too much with this kind of organization.

Cui Kaiyin's expression dimmed instantly.

Long Xiangtian nodded and continued to check the wall.

In fact, this situation is where I can show my strengths.

In the past 40 years, Long Xiangtian had nothing to do except fight wars or explore the ruins.

So as long as he finds the basic clues, he can easily learn to use the conditions of the door to get in.

Um.?

Soon, through his magnifying glass, he saw a small word near the far right edge.
-
I've been thinking about the source of evil.However, I never found the answer, because I didn't realize that there was evil in the method I used to find it.

Excerpt from the memoirs of the theologian Flavius.

However, what is the purpose of hiding such a sentence here?

Long Xiangtian thought to himself before speaking.

I see.This refers to Hagia Sophia.

Wow what are you talking about! ?
Delphian saint mercilessly murdered by fanatics.This is the cue to open the entrance.

The way of seeking evil mentioned in this sentence refers to human reason.

In other words, it warns that if humans try to define evil, they will fall into a paradoxical situation.

In addition, this sentence was also engraved next to the statue of the goddess to mourn the death of Hagia Sophia.

During her lifetime, she was known as the goddess of knowledge among the wise.

a hint?How could a deceased saint be a hint?
They said Sophia was a member of a secret society.

[Etria-Rodinas].

Even Long Xiangtian had never seen them in person.He had only heard the name before.

Eteria Rodinus is a secret wizarding society that existed before the War of Gods and Demons.

However, if that organization continues to have successors, they will continue to use the same symbol.

So, is there any secret code that can be used as identification?
It's obvious.Itria-Rhodins has actually created a language.

The language of the wise, Rosa Etna.

If you don't know the language, even if you manage to steal their spellbooks, you won't be able to understand their contents.

Their purpose is to prevent evil organizations such as the Golden Rose Society or Pronoia from abusing their intellectual power.

Completing and restoring the Chronicle of Nag-Hammadi has helped me in the past.

The Chronicle of Nag-Hammadi records the secret knowledge of the gods.

And because of this, Long Xiangtian finally learned some knowledge about Etria-Rodinas.

Long Xiangtian began to think about phrases that might be used as passwords.

Most likely a phrase related to Hagia Sophia.

He suddenly remembered the ancient book discussing her life.

Long Xiangtian stood facing the wall and spoke out loudly.

Quovadis, Domina?

This is what Saint Sophia's disciples said when they got into the carriage when they were expecting the attack of the zealots.

Meaning where are you going, goddess?Just to talk about the following things, she went to the academy as scheduled, but was kidnapped by fanatics and brutally murdered.

This is really an earth-shattering event. Even after a thousand years, there are related stories handed down.

But Long Xiangtian thought about the matter of Saint Sophia.

Gee tut.

The structure of the stone wall changed and an entrance appeared.

Wow, do you often read Agatha Christie or Sir Arthur Conan Doyle novels?
No, I just read some ancient texts.

As he searched for a way to reach the god's seat, he ordered many famous archaeologists to study dozens of documents every day.

Fortunately, Long Xiangtian knew a lot of miscellaneous facts.

Long Xiangtian walked forward while recalling the pile of old parchments that could always be found on the desk.

Much wider than I imagined.

It appears they don't just use the space for books and papers.

There is a large empty area in the center of the secret area.Most likely the space where they often performed rituals.

However, are the unnamed classics really in this area?
may be.

Although he didn't know how the archaeologists entered this area, Long Xiangtian didn't doubt the fact that the unnamed books were preserved here, because the archaeologists couldn't read or interpret the information of the Ark of Knowledge.

This unnamed tome is definitely written in the language of the wise men, the Rosa-Etna language.

The author's name and title are written on it.Do you think there is still a hidden space?
This is also possible.

Just in case, they may design the secret part as a double-layer structure.

Etria-Rodinas did in fact have many enemies in the outside world.

Long Xiangtian took out the golden magnifying glass, when
Ok?
He felt a sharp gaze staring at his back for a short moment.

Long Xiangtian turned his head and faced the existence that showed hostility towards him.

interesting.

On the wall hung a portrait of an old wise man.

What's interesting?

Just hide behind me.

Cui Kaiyin noticed his serious eyes and obeyed him silently.

She already realized that something was wrong.

When he approached the portrait and stretched out his hand to the portrait.

Why are there monsters here?
The wise old man in the portrait speaks first.

When their eyes met, Long Xiangtian raised his arms to show a non-confrontational attitude.

I didn't come to fight.And I'm a human being.However, due to some circumstances, I did inherit the name of the demon.

There's one detail that doesn't seem right, but leave that alone.My name is Martinas.I am the guardian spirit of the hidden library.My guests, what are your names, and what is the purpose of coming to this library?
Martinas' eyes alternated between Long Xiangtian and Cui Kaien.
