I Live Forever in Memory

Chapter 040: Addiction

In the frontier mansion, in the promenade on the floor, two girls in maid outfits with the same appearance and height but different hair colors stood facing each other, talking.

"Rem, Lady Emilia will be back tomorrow, so clean up the room today."

"Understood sister." Rem nodded obediently, "By the way, sister, recently the villagers..."

"Don't worry about it. Let's deal with it after Lord Roswaal comes back."

"kindness."

After finishing speaking, the two went to do their own things. No one noticed that the window at the end of the corridor was opened quietly, and the man whose back was blocking the rising sun jumped into the room lightly. Make the slightest sound.

He closed the window, turned his head to look at the dozens of identical wooden doors in the corridor, and scratched his hair a little tricky.

"The door of opportunity... which one is it?"

Roswaal was the border count, but the guards at the mansion were extremely lax.

Of course, this has something to do with his own outstanding strength, and the strength of the people living here is not bad, so there is no need to hire guards, and no thief or robber who has no eyesight has dared to make a mistake over the years.Therefore, Li Lin's infiltration was extraordinarily simple.

Diving in is easy, but it's only the beginning.If he wants to talk to Betty, he must first be able to find the door of opportunity leading to the forbidden library, and then he must be willing to tell him that he can teleport him to other places at any time if he is not willing... But he must insist on knowing this. Li Lin, who came to try, can also prove that he thinks this matter is necessary enough.

"In short, let's try one by one." Li Lin didn't have a good way to crack the doors, so the doors all looked exactly the same, and he didn't have special perception ability, so he could only use the most troublesome "exhaustive method" to separate all the doors one by one. The doors are all open.

Thinking so, he walked to the nearest door, reached out and grabbed the door handle, and pulled it open forcefully.

"Squeak-yah-"

There was a soft sound, and Li Lin was startled when he saw several large bookshelves in the dark space inside.

At this time, the girl who was sitting on the chair with her back to him turned around when she heard the voice, and when Lori saw him, her expression became a little strange and a little surprised.

Should I say good luck or good luck...

Li Lin looked at the blond double ponytail loli in a gorgeous dress in front of him. He never thought that the first door was... He closed the door, took two steps closer, and said to Loli's scrutinizing gaze: "I'm here. Looking for you."

The voice fell, and after the initial doubts, Betty said: "People who come in without permission are really annoying."

"But I have to see you first to get this permission, don't I?"

As Li Lin said, his eyes stayed on Betty's cheek. He knew that Betty was also a great elf, an artificial elf created by Echidna, the witch of lust.The contract signed by the two is that Betty will guard the forbidden library until "that person" arrives and hand over the [-] books stored in the library to that person, then the contract will be considered complete.

It's just that it's not certain whether "that person" exists or not, maybe it's just a reason to live that Echidna gave her.As for who "that person" is - it's up to Betty to decide.

"Cunning remarks, then, why did you come to me." Betty looked at Li Lin expressionlessly. In fact, she also remembered him. When Li Lin first came to Roswaal's mansion, her Gospel There was a change in the above, like Roswaal, there was an extra "?".

This change undoubtedly made her very puzzled. In her view, her "mother" Echidna, the lustful witch, is an existence who knows everything, and everything in the past, present and future is recorded in the full version of the book of wisdom.Even if the book in her hand is not as good as the full version used by Echidna, it shouldn't have such a change... Because of this, she also had a little doubt about Li Lin's existence.

It's just that that question was suppressed in the bottom of my heart after Li Lin left, and it didn't surface again until now when we met again.

Facing her question, Li Lin looked up at the countless large bookshelves behind her petite body, which were full of heavy classics.These books collected by Echidna must be very valuable, otherwise they are not eligible to be displayed in this forbidden library.

Among them...does he have the knowledge he needs?

"I would like to ask, are there any magical books or materials related to curses and longevity?"

"Why do you know about this place?" Betty didn't answer Li Lin's question, and looked at him with some displeasure between her brows, her voice was calm and indifferent: "Even if you know, why would Betty help you?"

"Sure enough, it won't be so smooth..." Li Lin also foresaw this, and said, "The reason why I know this is because of 'feeling'. I feel the existence of this place and the history of those books." Pure nonsense, But Li Lin couldn't give any other reasons. Only a few people know about the existence of the Forbidden Bookstore. No matter who he is under, he will definitely be exposed by Betty. This is a magical world, so don't think too much about the rationality of things.

"As for the reason for helping me..." Li Lin thought for a while: "You definitely don't agree with helping others. How about that promise? I promise to let you meet the person who created you again. Is this exchange okay?"

When Betty heard this, her pupils shrank instantly. She closed the book in her hand, stood up, and looked at Li Lin coldly: "You seem to know too much."

"Yes, are you only allowed to prophesy in the prophecy book in your hands, and I am not allowed to see some of the future?" Li Lin said, "Why, didn't the book tell you that I would come here and say these words? ?”

Li Lin said this without any scruples, and this is also the most efficient way he thinks.Otherwise, if he learns from Natsuki Subaru, it may be difficult for him to get any valuable information when he goes to another world.Besides, he himself likes to go straight to the point, and the most annoying thing is to talk a lot of nonsense.

"you……"

Hearing Li Lin talk about the book of prophecy, Betty really felt that he might have unknown power, because only Echidna, Roswaal and herself should know that the book of wisdom has a copy in her hands.She didn't say it, and it was even more impossible for the other two to tell him this.

Goodbye who made me...

Betty's heart really fluctuated when she heard these words, but that person was obviously killed by the Envious Witch...why did she say such words again.

"Are you lying to Betty?" she said. "Betty will be angry."

"No. I know you think the other witches have died at the hands of the Envious Witch, but their souls have not died."

"..."

After thinking for a moment, Betty walked over.She raised her hand to press Li Lin's abdomen. The latter subconsciously wanted to dodge, but thinking that Betty would not kill casually, she forcibly controlled the body that subconsciously wanted to dodge, and pressed her palm on it.

Teng! !

In an instant, the mana in Li Lin's body boiled. The feeling was really indescribable. It was not pain but a feeling of being emptied. A large amount of mana flowed out of his body and poured into Betty's palm—covering her. The golden light in the palm of her hand made her cold face disappear instantly.

She let go of her hand, took a few steps back, looked at the remaining golden light on her palm in disbelief, and murmured: "Golden mana... what is this..."

As she spoke, she suddenly felt that the mana in her body increased greatly, and that huge amount of energy was almost more than what she had absorbed in decades!

"Cough cough cough..."

Li Lin recovered from the feeling of "being hollowed out", coughed a few times, and looked at Betty, knowing why the latter showed that expression.

As an artificial elf, she is more powerful when using magic, and consumes more mana at the same time.Moreover, she has no way to absorb the mana in the atmosphere, so she can only use the forbidden library as a medium to slowly absorb the mana of all the people living in the mansion.This process was very slow, which also led to her not accumulating much mana in the past few hundred years.
