A way to become stronger.

Seren learned his lesson this time, and as soon as he returned to the Divine Grace Continent, he proposed to see Meddy and Ying.

He was not rejected.

In order to intimidate Salem, the warden got the instructions of Lord Herman, and deliberately led him through defense measures to the deepest part of the prison—the place where Ying and Metty were held.

In this regard, Lin Chengshi wanted to say that Herman is really stupid.

It's like showing the original question to Xueba before the exam. If Lin Chengshi still can't figure out a solution, he will ignore his omniscience as the author.

Through a railing, Salem finally saw Meddy and Ying again.

The two seem to be in good shape.Lin Chengshi has read the comics and knows that they have not been abused, but Meddy is under some psychological pressure.

Seeing that Seren came, Metty's frustrated face showed an excited expression: "Seren, you are finally here. I feel so confused..."

Ying sat alone in a corner, watching silently.

The prison warden listened openly, obviously the "eye" sent by Herman to monitor.So there are many things that Salem can't say very clearly.

He could only try his best to comfort Maddy: "I have wronged you, I may have to live here temporarily for a month...I will find a way."

Meddy shook her head and said stubbornly: "I'm not afraid of being wronged, I just want to know what's going on?"

Salem sighed softly: "It's hard to explain clearly. I am a pure human being, and so is Arthur's mother. Arthur already knew about this."

"I'm sorry to keep it from you, but even though Arthur's mother has passed away, the fewer people who know this secret, the better."

"There must be a reason for a pure human to hide in such a remote place. If the news spreads, your hometown may not be peaceful anymore."

Salem patiently explained all the stakes to Meddy.

"That's not what I asked," Meddy said. "It's understandable that Seren is hiding things from me that are purely human. Seren and Arthur agreed to find Aunt Madeleine's hometown, and now we have found it too."

"Then why don't we leave? What else does Salem want to do?"

Even though they were controlled in such a tight prison, Meddy was still sure that Saleen could easily rescue them, but Saleen did not do so.

Maddy's straightforward mind led her to the right answer—Siren had other plans.

"I can't speak." Salem put his index finger to his lips.

Because the warden is listening.

Salem's eyes moved to Shadow, the silent figure stared at him, and the two exchanged another look.

Then Salem said to them: "I have concealed a lot of things, and I don't need to forgive, but I need your trust. Wait for me for a month, can you?"

Even though Meddy had already guessed it, she was still disappointed to hear this.

She turned sideways in silence, her normally bright eyes dimmed: "Okay. I know Salem has always been smart, and I believe you will always have a way."

She tried to raise a smile: "well, I'll wait for you. It's just that after a month, you have to tell me what you're doing. Although I'm a bit stupid, even if I don't understand, I still want to hear from you. "

Salem finally achieved his goal, and he smiled softly: "Of course. At that time... I will explain it to you."

After all, everything I do is for you and Arthur!

Having accomplished the purpose of this visit, Salem departed.

"I will come to see you again." All he left was this sentence.

He thinks he knows Mei Di well, and he is confident that the heroine has been stabilized.

Unexpectedly, after leaving, Ying looked at the backs of Salem and the warden, and suddenly asked Meddy: "Since I knew him, I have almost never heard a few truths from him? Do you really believe him?" ?”

Meddy's smile disappeared, and her complexion looked a little pale.

She lowered her head slowly and covered her face: "I just don't know who else I can trust. I just don't dare to think, if Salem has been lying to me, then what have I been doing for so long? Is it a joke ?”

"However," Maddy took a deep breath, "I have seen the reality of Salem. I think the stability and happiness of him in the past are all real. He may just be like me because of Arthur..."

"Arthur?" Ying felt that this might be the key.

After all, the reason Seren came to the desert in the first place was to fulfill the agreement with Arthur.

Maddy was also very surprised, she suddenly mentioned Arthur at this moment.

In fact, she has never been able to accept the reality of Arthur's death.

She seemed optimistic, but she was just trying to put Arthur's death behind her.She found the excuse of "protecting Salem" and hurriedly fled from her hometown that made her sad.

As if when the journey was over and she returned to the cabin, Arthur would still be there waiting for her.

Meddy was far less dull.

When Vincent's first love was shattered, she asked her heart, is it because Vincent has a smile that looks like Arthur that she fell into the trap so easily?

Lin Chengshi felt that he understood the heroine.

But never expected that the heroine, who should have been dull until the finale, suddenly became enlightened at this time.

Metty, who knows her own mind, has a desire to confide in it.

So Shadow was forced to become her spiritual tree hole and listen to her tell Arthur's story.

"You said, Arthur's mother came to your village in 505 of the divine calendar?" Ying sensitively discovered this.

"Really?" Meddy counted with her fingers, "This year is 524, so it should be 505."

"Saren also knows about this?"

"Should know, I told him."

Shadow was lost in thought.

Maybe Mettie is not sensitive to this timing.But Ying, who was born in the court, knows all kinds of major events in Shenen Continent like the back of his hand.

In 505, the most important event on the entire continent was that the Dragon Clan annexed the land of the Phoenix Clan, and the five kingdoms that had lasted for more than 500 years were shattered.

It was also in that year that a purely human woman fled to the remote north with a child in her arms...

Among these, is there any connection?

"When I met Salem, Aunt Madeleine had passed away. It was Arthur who picked up Salem who passed out, and Salem lived in Arthur's house after that..." Metty continued.

Ying thought thoughtfully: "So that's why you don't know anything about Saleen's origin."

Maddy was a little depressed: "I just found out now, and I don't know anything about Arthur's origin. It turns out that Aunt Madeleine is from this city of prophets, and they never told me!"

Metty was furious: "Am I stupid? I couldn't see anything, and I didn't ask anything. Do you think I shouldn't trust Salem?"

"On the contrary, I trust that guy this time." Shadow said, "I don't trust his honesty, but I believe that with his intelligence, no matter what he wants to do, he won't treat us as outcasts."

After all, Ying is the crown prince of the Merman Kingdom, and Meddy's magic power has great potential.With Salem's shrewdness, none of them are bargaining chips that can be easily given up.

And, Shadow looked at Mettie.

From his personal point of view, it's not that Salem has no feelings for Metty, it's just that the feelings may not be equal.

Salem's feelings for Metty are somewhat condescending.He seems to have planned a safe path for Metti, and treats Metti presumptuously.

Ying once treated his younger sister like this, and after being educated by Elena, he knew it was wrong to do so.

But he didn't have the kindness to wake up Salem at all, after all, Salem counted him into prison this time.

Salem, who still doesn't know anything about Ying and Meddy's communication, is following Ivan to the city library.

From the perspective of modern people, urban libraries should be a resource shared by the public, and everyone can obtain knowledge fairly.

But for the city of the prophets, it is a pity that although it has a steampunk style and seems to have entered the industrial age, its distribution of knowledge still seems to be at the level of a slave society.

For example, the books and knowledge in this city are monopolized by the city lord and priests!

There are no nobles in the city, only the city lord and priests have a particularly high status.Therefore, all the books in the city are concentrated in the City Lord's Mansion and Temple.

The so-called temple does not look like a religious place at all.Probably more like a "Mage Tower".

Anti-gravity-like layered construction, labyrinth-like internal structure.

The so-called city library is actually inside the temple and is part of the temple.If there is no one to lead the way, Salem really can't find a place.

The common people in the Prophet's City, although they will be enlightened by magic patterns since childhood, they all learn very superficially.The truly powerful power is monopolized by priests and officials.

Therefore, if Salem hadn't exchanged benefits with Santo Herman, he would definitely not be able to get in touch with the profound magic patterns.

Although Lin Chengshi himself knows the principle of the magic pattern well, it is very important for readers to see the logic of the male protagonist's growth.If Salem just opened up for no reason, this comic would not be far from hitting the street.

Moreover, for the smooth logic of the plot, he must come here to meet someone.

"Father, this is Salem, the guest of Lord Herman. He may come to the library often in the next month," Ivan introduced.

Salem's gaze also naturally turned to that person who was difficult to ignore.

Sure enough, getting to know Ai Fan is a shortcut to getting to know him.

The man was dressed in a white robe and was holding a book, reading it by the light from the window.

His hair was holy silver, and his complexion was as pale as paper.Hearing what Evan said at this moment, he looked up.

Salem discovered that his eyelashes and pupils were also silver-white.Such an unexpected appearance is not scary, but has a beauty beyond the world.

He put down the book and walked slowly from the window.

After the light was less dazzling, he also seemed to be somewhat popular.Looking closer, there are traces of age on his face, as if he is not young anymore.

Ai Fan introduced Sai Lun again: "Si Lun, this is my adoptive father, the High Priest of the Prophet City."

"My name is Uriah," the man in white said softly, "I am no longer a high priest, but a scribe. I usually sort out the lost legends of the gods and staple some pamphlets."

Ai Fan said: "Father doesn't manage the specific affairs of the temple very much now, and I am acting as an agent for this work."

Yulea seemed to be really not interested in vulgar things, he didn't even ask where the dignified city lord of this city came from as a "distinguished guest".

He just said casually: "I'm usually in the library at this time... If you are interested in the brilliance of the gods, I can recommend some books for you."

That's what I said, but I'm afraid few people dare to bother him with the cheek.

Sellen didn't care so much, he climbed along the pole and immediately said: "Of course I'm interested, please don't hesitate to enlighten me."
