The development of the matter was obviously beyond everyone's expectations - in just one hour, all the staff of the Imperial Capital Library experienced the theft of precious and unique collections in the collection room, Count Phoenix was furious, and the young alchemy genius Identifying deputy director Dronke as a mole.

Everyone's heads haven't turned around yet, but this isn't the end yet.

Soon, when Delanke revealed that the person who instructed him to steal the books was not an outside force, but a 'big shot' from Uptown, the entire large library became completely silent.

The big shot in the uptown area is not really a big shot to Earl Phoenix, isn't he? Even if he is the eldest prince, he dares to drag him to complain to His Majesty.

But the problem is that cases involving old colleagues or acquaintances cannot be solved by Earl Phoenix on his own. This matter is expected to become a big deal. The emperor may not pay too much attention to it, but the resident in the imperial capital The eldest prince must come forward.

And, most importantly.

A big shot would actually send someone to steal books secretly instead of finding connections to borrow them himself...

This means there must be a bigger conspiracy behind it!

When he thought of this, Earl Phoenix couldn't help but take a breath: "Things are in trouble!"

It was indeed troublesome, and Ian began to feel that this muddy water was not easy to stir up.

But since the trouble has already begun, let's continue to stir it up to the end - otherwise, my situation may be even more embarrassing.

Therefore, he found Count Phoenix while he was deep in thought and made a suggestion.

"You said you wanted to observe Dranke, maybe you could find clues?"

The old earl glanced at Ian. Now he knew Ian seriously and understood the level of this young genius - not to mention anything else, just relying on this psychic ability, he was a good person among appraisers and appraisers. There will be no small achievements on the path of the alchemist.

Therefore, after pondering for a while, Earl Phoenix said something very caring and protective of his junior: "Farewell, you are too weak. If there is any psychic restriction in Dranke's mind, if you investigate and die, what will happen to me?" Explain to Avelina and Mikael? I can’t even explain to the three fairies behind you.”

"Forget it. Don't worry about anything happening. Just stay back. I guarantee you nothing will happen this time!"

Although he really cared about Ian's words, Earl Phoenix's words and behavior almost made Ian lose his nerve.

Finally, he took a deep breath and said slowly: "It's not about detecting souls. My spiritual power doesn't have this effect - Lord Earl, I just want to see where he has been in recent times."

"Just looking at the clothes and body surface. Because I found a book that I just put on recently. If there are no accidents, I can see some clues."

Earl Phoenix hesitated for a moment - of course he didn't want Ian to be in danger, and he didn't even plan to add Ian's name to this incident. He just wrote that the group of goblins watched and then left. No one cares what the goblins did. , they will definitely tell all the news anyway.

But if you just look at the clothes, then maybe it's not a big deal?

So he nodded, then turned to Mo Feng and Hua An and said, "Don't you want to persuade me?"

"Huh? Why do you want to persuade me?" "I believe Ian."

"That's true." Earl Phoenix felt that he had said something nonsense - he actually tried to make the goblin less nervous, which was so unbecoming of a goblin.

After receiving permission, Ian directly turned on the silver chip.

Of course, precognitive vision does not have any ability related to "observing the traces left by time"... Well, maybe watching movies from the past counts as one? But that obviously won't work for someone like Dronke.

Ian simply read some of the detailed information in the silver chip and in turn traced where Dronke had been during this period of time.

This is not a difficult task.

So far, Ian has not figured out the source of the silver chip's information. It seems to know everything. Even if it is theoretically very secret information, which may not be known to a few people in this world, it can still give it clearly.

But even if it is common sense that everyone seems to know, Silver Chip will give an uncertain answer, a very vague and uncertain description.

Ian was too lazy to think at first, but after going to the virtual realm, he understood a little bit, and guessed that the 'Lord of the Labyrinth' that Inaga II wanted to be might be the master of the big labyrinth of the virtual realm.

And the various characteristics of the silver chip may be the 'Void Realm Entity' brought out from the Void Realm by Inaga II?

Then, the information source of the silver chip is likely to be the virtual realm...or, in other words, the subconscious soul of all mankind.

In this case, it can also explain why some information is given very clearly and clearly, while some information is vague - because there are too many people involved in cognition, and it is impossible to give a clear definition.

Of course, Ian has no intention of continuing to explore the source of the silver chip now.

He just stood up, then turned around and gave an answer to Earl Phoenix.

"It's Lingzhiyuan."

When Ian said this word, he felt as if he was being framed - but that was the fact. In the recent period, Deputy Curator Dronker had only been to the 'Uptown' three times, which was the most visited place. , which is Lingzhiyuan.

Therefore, even though Hua An, who knew about the conflict between Ian and Lingzhiyuan, cast a doubtful look, the young man still blinked and gave a hint of "trust me", and then continued to say to the Phoenix Earl who raised his eyebrows: "It's Lingzhiyuan." A big shot in the Academy—maybe a professor? I can only feel that the other person has a strong scholarly scent, and Mr. Dronke was very fearful and awe when facing him. He should be a big shot."

"I see."

Such rudimentary, vague, and even nonsense information to others seemed to have directly found the target for Earl Phoenix and even some members of the Book Protector Knights.

The old man suddenly realized: "So that's it, it's that idiot Yi Du'er. I asked him why he didn't bother me for half a year after he asked to borrow "City of Faith" and "The Messenger of Aitila" last time. It turned out that he had already planned to borrow it if he couldn't. Stealing, right?”

"Obey the order!"

Raising his hand, Earl Phoenix gave the order - in an instant, all members of the Book Keeper Knights stood up from their knees, raised their weapons, and responded in unison: "Yes! Sir!"

"Let's go to Lingzhiyuan and get the book back from me!"

"Get it back!" Another chorus echoed.

Ian stood there, silently watching the scene where the Phoenix Earl and the Knights left the library in a mighty manner and headed towards the Imperial Capital headquarters of Lingzhiyuan. He felt that he still didn't quite understand the internal operating system of the Imperial Capital.

At first glance, this scene looks like a big hooligan leading a team to destroy the opponent's place. If you look closely... at a closer look, it looks like a big hooligan leading a team to destroy the opponent's place.

--no? What about aristocratic etiquette? What about the rules? Is it possible to resolve conflicts by fighting? What about exchange of interests and compromise?

Is this true for Earl Phoenix alone, or is this true for the entire upper-class struggle in the world of Terra?

At this moment, Ian felt in his heart as if he thought that the business war was a 'hostile takeover', 'cutting off the capital chain' and 'low-price competition', but in fact the business war was 'stealing the business seal' and hiring people to beat up the other party's boss. ' and 'scratch each other's product cushion'...

But yes, in this damn place like Terra, if there is no strength of the Ascended One, bullying you is bullying you. How else can you say it?

"Wow."

At this moment, Hua An is sitting on the left shoulder of the white-haired boy, Frost Butterfly is sitting on the right shoulder, and Mo Feng is floating in front of Ian. She said with some emotion: "Lazier is still interesting - I haven't seen such a scene for almost two or three years. seen it already."

"Two or three years?" Ian asked doubtfully. It was obvious that this was too frequent, and Mo Feng misunderstood: "Actually, in recent years, due to the tense external situation, the imperial capital has been relatively peaceful - according to the seniors, Ina When Jia II was still there, there were daily fights between the nobles’ children and the royal family’s children in the upper city area, and in the years when Axel was still a prince, he often had street duels with the children of various noble families.”

"The imperial capital is relatively strong and can hold up, while ordinary cities would have been destroyed long ago."
