Beating friendly forces
Compared with the previous unsuccessful raid, this one went very smoothly. After all, the library is a small place and several people can be seen at a glance.
Then, Pei Renli and the others realized that they might, maybe, probably, hit the wrong person...
"These people should be sent by Modera's opponents, but they have different purposes from us."
The basis of Elena's judgment was of course not the identification documents found on the four shadow spirits, but the news sent back by the spies placed by the Raven Queen Priest under Mordra.
It is said that the people lurking under Mordra have had some contact with these guys. Anyway, there is no conflict in the goals of the two parties. If Mordra dies, it will be beneficial to all parties.
Although we can't talk about cooperation, at least they will raise a hand if they don't cause trouble to each other. Even the map of the secret passage has their contribution.
——This is a bit embarrassing.
"Don't worry, although he is not an enemy, he is the one who betrayed the Crow Queen after all."
Elena pointed to one side, the bookshelf that the shadow spirit woman had just flipped through:
"Aren't you looking for evidence of Modra's crime? There should be some contact records or letters here, which should be useful."
Shadow spirits are similar to dark elves in that the belief in a certain god is dominant, and those who believe in other gods are aliens.
Moreover, the Raven Queen may be more controlling than the Spider Queen Rose, and any shadow spirit that does not serve her is a traitor.
The shadow spirits that were just killed were those who broke away from the shadow spirit group. From the point of view of the Crow Queen Priest, just kill them. It would be a matter of time.
As for the criminal evidence she mentioned, the other party may have come here for this as well. There were already a lot of taken down books and pamphlets piled on the floor next to the bookshelf.
The evidence of Modra's crime is not used to convict him. This grandson has reached the point where he can't even forgive his hatred for Gatlin. It doesn't matter whether he has more or less charges.
The most important thing is who he has been in contact with, who he has done transactions with, who is supporting him, and other information behind this.
The business is so big, no matter how smart you are, you will definitely need to get an account book to sort it out. If you can get this thing, you can basically uproot Modera's criminal empire.
It's just unrealistic. Such an important thing would certainly not be left casually on a library shelf.
Since the four shadow spirits had already picked out some useful things, Varela simply stuffed the books on the floor into her backpack, and then started to look at the bookshelf.
Anna and Elena were not interested in any of this, and stood at the door on guard, listening to what was going on outside, while Eve looked a little confused.
There was a feeling of ‘I remember this was not like this here, but why are there so many books now?’ I wonder if she remembered something.
Pei Renli also wanted to look through it. He was still very interested in the magic book on the shadow plane. It would be best to get two copies and read them.
But when Pei Renli took down a book from the bookshelf and immediately saw a shadow dart shooting out of the air on the bookshelf, almost hitting his head, Pei Renli thought it would be better to continue doing business...
As long as we deal with Mordra who is still hiding in the tower, we can talk about all this later. Besides, there was quite a stir in the Dark Hatchery, so we'd better pay close attention.
After putting the information on the floor into her backpack, Anna saw that everyone was ready, quietly opened the door, and then waved to indicate that it was safe outside.
Different from exploring ruins in this kind of place, you can't use detection spells casually, otherwise it will be easily detected by others, and you will be caught unawares, so for the time being, you can only rely on Anna to detect from the front.
Outside the library, there is a small place similar to a reading room. You can see a large desk in the middle, and a reading table on the wall. On one side near the door, there is a series of cabinets with teapots and cups.
class of things.
There is currently no one here, but vaguely, fierce quarrels can be heard coming from the door on the west side.
In the northeast corner of this room, there is another door, and this door is larger and thicker than the door in the library. Not only is the material used different, Pei Renli even found traces of enchantment on it.
This high tower is similar to the mage tower I discovered before when I went to Kayana, both have four packages and a rocket-like shape.
According to the first-floor map provided inside, the place where Pei Renli and the others came in was the southeast corner, the library was the auxiliary tower in the southeast corner, and the northeast corner was another auxiliary tower.
So Pei Renli pointed to the door in the northeast corner and motioned to go over and take a look.
Everyone moved carefully without making any noise, trying not to attract the attention of the quarrel coming from the other door, and arrived at the door in the northeast corner.
For things related to magic, you need a professional magician.
Eve was looking around, maybe she remembered something again, and her concentration was a bit unfocused, so Pei Renli could only do it.
He carefully identified the runes and magic circles that might appear on the door, made several attempts to disarm the alarms and magic traps, and then pushed the door open with a mage's hand more steadily.
Behind the door is a room about the same size as a library, and its purpose is equally clear.
The small room was filled with large and small glass jars and metal containers, and some machines with magical properties were still running slowly.
There are many biological organs soaked in green or brown liquid in the glass jar, and sometimes half of an dissected human can be found soaked in a large glass jar.
To be precise, this is an alchemy laboratory, but unlike a laboratory where potions are made and magic items are made, its function is to experiment with how to transform life.
Considering that Mordra has a dark hatchery to create monsters for sale, it is not surprising that there is such a laboratory.
Everyone expressed strong resistance to entering this room. For example, they found the brain of an unknown creature soaked in a half-person-high glass jar next to the door. There was an eye in the center of the brain that moved slightly. Everyone even started to look at it.
It could be seen in his eyes that he was in great pain.
——This thing is alive.
What's more, if you rashly step into such a place full of blasphemy and magic, who knows if there is a trap somewhere, so Pei Renli is the only one who enters.
Through the arcane vision of Thousand Eyes, Pei Renli once again easily unlocked several magic alarms and traps, intending to see what valuable things there were here.
Experimental manuscripts, notes, books that look like magic books, no matter whether they are useful or not, just put them away first.
Although both Mordra and the God-killing Demon King Balam are playing with enhanced creatures, they have taken two different paths.
Balam is a weak, flesh-and-blood mechanical ascension, while Mordra uses magic power to cause biological mutations.
Both sides are of great research value and can at least be used as a reference.
"Are you okay? Come on, I hear the noise of the quarrel outside seems to have become quieter."
Anna leaned against the door frame and reminded Pei Renli.
"Right away, right here."
Time is tight, and I really don’t have time to identify and search carefully. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, I will pretend to leave first.
Peri Renli replied to Anna casually, opened the drawer of the desk, and stuffed the paper filled with text and the bound manuscripts into his backpack.
While I was busy, an envelope suddenly fell out of the paper.
Perrenli didn't pay much attention to it at first, but when he finished loading the contents in the drawer and was about to leave, he lowered his head and noticed a mark on the envelope, which looked like it had been stamped with ink on a rough stone full of grooves.
.
And this mark looked familiar to Pei Renli.
He was a little confused about where his sense of déjà vu came from. He reached for the envelope and then realized where the sense of déjà vu came from.
The mark on the envelope was exactly the same as the rough stone skin pattern on the original Chaos Ring on his finger.
The seal ring of the nobles is called this name because the ring itself has the function of acting as a seal. It can be dipped in ink pad or ink and stamped on documents or envelopes to indicate identity. The seal on the envelope just discovered is also the same.
Same reason.
Pei Renli's original ring of chaos was obtained when he went to Feng Daer's hometown last year. (See Chapters 633~652 for details)
So, Naga, who took over the Iron Foot Mine and became the king on his own, has something to do with Modra?
Speaking of that time, there are actually many doubts that have not been resolved. The most prominent one is that Naga transported many precious ores through the elemental chaos after occupying the mine.
Who was connected with her, where the ore was transported, and what was the purpose of all this? There are no answers to these questions.
Thinking of this, Pei Renli reached for the envelope and picked it up to check, but unfortunately, the envelope was empty, and he didn't know if the letter paper inside had just been stuffed into his backpack by Pei Renli.
"Not okay yet?"
Anna urged again, and Pei Renli picked up his backpack and put it on his back again. He really didn't have much time to search carefully, so let's do this for now.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
This time Pei Renli and the others did not come to explore a ruins that no one had entered for many years, but to sneak in. There was not enough time to dig through the entire mage tower.
For the time being, I can only take what I have, and wait until the Mordra matter is settled later to see if there is a chance to do a good search.
Everyone returned to the reading room and gathered in front of the door on the west side. From the map, this door should lead to the main hall on the first floor of the mage tower, and such a place would definitely be guarded.
After setting up a battle formation at any time, Anna still opened the door first.
The carefully maintained door shafts and door locks made no sound. When the door was opened a crack, the sounds of quarrels also poured in.
"I'll say it again! There is a problem with the service provided by your master. I am here now on behalf of my master to ask you to make up for the mistake. Don't shirk it from me. Where is Mordra? I want to see him immediately! Immediately!"
The sharp female voice struck her eardrums as soon as she opened the door. If nothing else, the pitch alone would probably make ten people unable to disturb her.
"Ms. Eschenbach, I have repeated it many times. The master is busy. Please go to the guest room and wait..."
"Do you think my time is unlimited? I have been waiting for him for a week! I don't want to wait anymore, let him come out to see me immediately!"
"But you do have more time than I do."
"What did you say?!"
It sounded like the owner of the voice was furious. Pei Renli leaned over the crack in the door and took a look.
Indeed, this person must have plenty of time...
