Dawn of the Grey Tower

"As you can see, everyone temporarily put down their disputes because of these books. Those who were still playing outside in full swing are now sitting here and reading obediently. I really don't know what to say, maybe this is what we call Some characteristic of the creature of the gray mage?"

Warnaby teased his colleagues present in a joking tone, but no one refuted him.

The gray robes that filled the library were as if they had been robbed of their soul by the books in their hands, devoting themselves to it and not caring about anything else. This made the three of them who were still chatting now different.

"There are not many times when this feature is effective. No matter how hard the teacher hides, he can't hide the second library. By the way, why don't you seem to be affected much? Could it be that you came too late and didn't grab the book?"

[In view of the general environment,

The curse crow glanced at the bookshelf as he spoke, and there were indeed not many books left on it. Needless to say, new books appeared, even the original library collections were used by the gray robes for comparison and reference.

At the same time, some gray robes also believed that if the new book might appear out of thin air, there might be some secret hidden in the old book. And this conjecture was confirmed after a returned bookmark was discovered.

"That's not to say, it wasn't so busy when I came back. In fact, I secretly hid a few copies, and I believe that those who started the research will have more hidden than me." Warnaby The second half of the sentence was spoken in a low voice.

Although Cheese is very suspicious that now that everyone is like a demon, no one will react even if he yells that he has hidden books. The focus of the gray robes on research makes them indulge in the knowledge in front of them, or indulging in digging out the secrets buried by the teacher from the new knowledge that is not very profound.

Both the cheese and the cursed crow showed quite subtle expressions, because they already knew that the real secret buried by the teacher was not limited to this library, so at most they could only find clues to the real secret here.

Of course, this is by no means to say that these colleagues did not see the essence of the problem. It is just that the information they collected was limited, and because of mutual hostility, they were unable to exchange core secrets. Coupled with their trained research instincts, this has led to the current situation. .

But even so, it's hard not to feel a dark pleasure seeing these guys whose eyes are higher than the top and who are indeed as talented as their own have collectively fallen into a misunderstanding.

"Well, you two better find a place to start researching. If you can't find the books, I can provide some, provided that we share the research results with each other."

Warnaby clapped his hands. The books in his private collection are more meaningful only when they are turned into mature research reports, so he is extraordinarily proud.

"No, there's no need. We are already far behind the others now. If that's the case, let's just wait for the results. At that time, everyone will be the same except for the number one."

The reason Cheese said is not outrageous. As long as one person claims that he has obtained the secret in the book, everyone's goal will change from research to his discovery.

In this case, the discoverer has only two options, either to escape from the library against the attack of the same family, or to simply disclose or partially disclose his income.

No matter what he chooses in the end, it will be the same for everyone else. So why bother now?

Warnabi paused for two seconds in surprise, then stared at the cheese with weird eyes. For a moment, Cheese thought he had guessed something. But in the next second, Warnaby suddenly turned and left as if losing interest, without even leaving an explanation.

The meaning was already obvious, and he was very disappointed with Cheese's answer, because as a gray-robed mage, no matter what the result was, at least he should not give up the opportunity and attempt to solve the puzzle himself. Cheese's words disgusted Warnaby. In his opinion, Cheese probably stayed too long among ordinary people and became a less pure mage.

Being misunderstood was not beyond Cheese's expectation. When this set of rhetoric was brewing in his mind, he had already thought of this consequence. Warnaby is an ally worth and can be won, but not blindly now

If it is time to expand the manpower of the project and tell him the truth, he may not be able to spread the word. If you don't tell him the truth, you won't be trusted.

Instead of hanging in the air so up and down, Chesining can end this relationship in a way that makes Warnabi feel less disgusted with them, so that what they lose is at most a potential ally, and they won't make more out of thin air A spy or a hater.

Without Warnaby's greeting, the library returned to dead silence. The cheese and the cursed crow exited the room tacitly, and gestured to each other with their eyes. Although no one seemed to be paying attention to the conversation just now, who knows how many of those classmates who pretended to be reading were secretly observing?

So what the two of them have to do now is to play the image of speculators well, so as not to make people aware of the problems. So for speculators, what is most important? Chance itself, of course, is the scene when the book's secret is deciphered.

The cheese and the cursed crow made a lot of related magic props and magic circles outside the library, and sent them into the library through concealed means to complete the last step of the layout.

These voyeuristic methods were destroyed by different people within a few minutes after the two turned their heads and left. But that's enough, and it's enough for peers to define these two as people trying to cut corners.

And the reality is, their definitions are not wrong. Compared with those who searched for clues in the library, Cheese and Curse Crow, who had confirmed the situation of the same door and were going to further investigate the energy source in the gray tower, were on a shorter road.

It's just that the current gray robes haven't noticed this road.

"Okay, now that we have confirmed what you want to confirm, where do we start to find energy?"

Curse Crow carefully encrypted this passage with spells and asked the cheese. He wasn't worried that someone might wonder why the conversation was encrypted. After all, the two's speculative plan had just gone bankrupt, and it was normal to have some follow-up plans.

Cheese thought for a few minutes, the energy veins in the greenhouse lost their direction when they left the greenhouse, and he couldn't throw the rune stone into the intangible magic power line. The source of the gray tower's energy supply is obviously closely related to everything around them, but it is impossible to find it.

"Maybe we should consult a fortuneteller. I just know that there is a very effective one here. And that person is in my room."
