Chapter 35 Verifying Conjectures

The gilded spire of more than ten meters is covered with silver yarn under the moonlight, as if it is a dream.

Zhu Jue looked at the face reflected on the surface of the spire in front of him, raised his hand to touch the tower body, and felt it open, looking for any trace of secrets that might be hidden in it.

But I still got nothing...

The entire spire is a solid marble creation. Apart from the gilded surface, there is no imagined dark lattice or any other special mechanism inside.

"Mirror, Magic Mirror, tell me where the "Naket Codex" is."

After chanting a spell in my impression with my face, I felt extremely ashamed, while Zhu Jue secretly looked forward to what could happen.

Waited for a few minutes.

Apart from the thought of pressing Atal to the ground and pounding him.

There seems to be nothing else.

"I was wrong?"

The successive failures made Zhu Jue begin to doubt whether his ideas were correct.

Is it because the direction of my thinking is deviated, or is the information given by Atal accidentally missed, or is it that the magic mirror is actually stored somewhere in the big library, but no one knows it?

Frowning, he turned around, Zhu Jue was about to go back and check the pool again.

He has never been a person who likes to give up halfway through his work. Since he has come here, he has to put his ideas into action.

You have to understand if you make mistakes!

He walked a few steps aside and was about to summon the scavenger to leave here.

The sand line rose up, connecting the nearby corridor, but the last glance before leaving made Zhu Jue stop.

Before, he stood in front of the gilded spire and looked at himself.

Only yourself is in your eyes.

Now that I have walked away, my appearance is blurred, but I reveal another thing reflected above.

There is a gilded spire in the entire library, with the front of Zhujue Station, and the fence behind it is convenient, while the side of Zhujue is facing a three-story building with a Gothic style.

Strictly speaking, it is the existence that the gilded spire has always reflected!

Tat ~

With a crisp snap of his fingers, Grevdo, who brought him, immediately trotted and leaned forward.

“What is this building for?”

"It is a place for priests to pray and learn scriptures. Each priest has his own room here, and they are on the second floor... The first floor is the prayer hall, which is usually a place for priests to share their ideas. On some special days, we will also hold meetings here."

He answered the other party's question tremblingly, and Grevdo's mind was filled with the rock beside the pool that was punched into pieces.

“Special day?”

Zhu Jue raised his eyebrows and continued,

"It means you don't usually appear here, I understand it right."

"Yes, only the priests and Shana can come here."

"oh?"

Waves to Shana and signales her to come over.

"I think... it should be in the past month. Is there anything strange happening in that building? Remember, it happened in the past month. If something similar happened before this, don't mention it!"

So far, what Zhu Jue has been looking for is no longer the location information of what Atal called the "Naket Manuscript".

If the magic mirror is fake, then asking for location information must be done through other media, and the clue is here.

The question is here, let alone the magic mirror, how did Atal know that there are clues here?

How could this old guy who has been in the Usa Temple for decades determine the situation in a city at a distance of hundreds of kilometers?

In Zhujue's opinion, there are only two possibilities.

Either when the other party was stealing the "Naket Codex", he did not hide as completely as he said, but hid in a place where the invader could be seen and confirmed to some extent the identity of the thief, which made Zhu Jue investigate.

This reason sounds a bit far-fetched, the possibility is just average.

The remaining possibility is simple.

The Great Elder Atal also teaches divination!

When Zhu Jue asked him about divination in the Usa Temple, the latter said that it was because of his friend that he knew about this spell. At that time, Zhu Jue only wanted to know what this spell was, so he didn't think much about it.

Now, because of the incident of Magic Mirror, I began to recall the situation at that time. After thinking about it carefully, I found that there were many loopholes in his words.

First of all, Zhu Jue was learning his divination method in his dream after passing a certain book. Atal almost without thinking about it, he said it was a book similar to "Naket's Manuscript".

How did he know that after reading a book, he could learn magic in his dreams, and subconsciously said something similar to "Naket's Manuscript"?

Secondly, he knew too much about the information about divination, and even some details that Zhu Jue did not notice can be described very clearly.

But he himself showed a very repulsive attitude of this kind of knowledge.

If he really wants to be so repulsive, why did he deliberately learn about this knowledge with his friend in detail?

There is only one reason, he learned this spell through the "Naket Manuscript" himself!

After this conjecture appeared in Zhu Jue's mind, many of the problems that had troubled him before were almost solved.

Why did Atal still give information about the magic mirror while probably knowing that there is no glass in the Great Library of Solan City?

Because he saw similar images in the dream brought by divination, Zhu Jue, who had experienced the dream, knew that there was very little valuable information that could be obtained in that situation, so Atal could only tell Zhu Jue in this way without more information.

"There is a magical mirror in the large library of Solan City that can help you find anything you want, and I mean it can help you determine the location of the Nackett Codex."

This sentence sounded extremely normal at the time. Now, no matter how you think about it, Atal added the second half because of uncertainty after saying the first half!

Of course, all of the above are the imaginations that Zhu Jueshan had in his mind. After all, there was no clear evidence, and he could not confirm its authenticity.

It is precisely because of this that he came here.

Practice is always the best way to test conjectures!

"Some, it was about two weeks ago, and Grevdo and I were there at night... When we chatted, we always heard some strange noises. Grevdo also knew about this, so you can ask him."

Shana pulled her boyfriend's clothes and signaled him to speak.

"It was probably a few days ago, after our... exchange was over, I was about to go back to my residence. I heard someone in a prayer room on the inside of the second floor saying something strange. I didn't know the specific content. I ran away because I was worried about being discovered..."

"Can you go to which room?"

In the prayer room on the inside of the second floor, Zhu Jue also heard it during the afternoon conversation. It seemed that the one who met Grevdo and a friend of his at that time.

It seems that what Grevdo said should be the truth.

"Uh, it should be the innermost rooms, I'm not sure."

At that time, Grev had no time to go to the scene, so he had no time to pay attention to this. If he was caught, he would not only be expelled from the big library, but also potentially go to prison.

"knew."

While speaking, he raised his hand and chopped the back of the two men's necks, then dragged them to the nearby courtyard tree, found a grass to put the unconscious man and woman in.

Before leaving, he threw two gold coins into them as rewards.

With the help of the scavenger, he easily opened the window on the second floor and sneaked in. In order to ensure that he would not be discovered in advance, Zhu Jue chose to stay away from the room pointed out by Grevdo.

The moonlight fell into the corridor through the hollow carvings on the windows, illuminating the prayer room on the other wall and the corners of the corridor.

The whole process of perception was turned on, and slowly walked towards the inside of the second floor.

Halfway through the journey, a reaction appeared in perception.

There is someone in the room ahead!

Zhu Jue, who realized this, immediately began to focus all his attention on the person and confirmed as much as possible about the situation in the room he was in through perception.

However, the more detailed the perception is.
