Meet the principal

The Midland Federation has long pursued a strategy of putting knowledge first. Libraries are a standard feature in every city, and Olmsted City Library is no exception. This five-story building is located in the center of the city and is very obvious. .

Reiner and Claire walked into the library, registered their names and entered the library. According to the signs at the door, there were not only various literature and history books, but also some basic magic textbooks, local newspapers over the years, and some public cities. material.

While Claire was still looking up at the towering bookshelves, Reiner had already followed the pictures and led her to the city information area.

"What can you find here?"

Claire tilted her head and asked. She saw that Reiner had found several picture books, opened them, and realized that they were city planning and design drawings.

The city of Olmsted has a history of two hundred years, and the city planning has naturally been recorded. Reiner first found the city plan from about a hundred years ago. At that time, the wealthy area had just been established, and he quickly found Sai In the area where Aunt Leah's villa is located, a hundred years ago, there were no clusters of villas like today.

Scroll down, Reiner discovered that this villa was built seventy years ago and was renovated about twenty years ago, when Aunt Celia lived in it. According to the laws of the Midland Federation, any The design of the renovation and reconstruction of the building must comply with the regulations. Therefore, the renovation design drawings have also been recorded in city documents.

Reiner found the renovation plan of the building and looked at it carefully.

Although the design of this villa has highlights, there is nothing special about it. It is a normal building. At least there are no secret rooms or secret passages on the surface, and its architectural shape does not have any profound meaning.

Reiner thought for a moment and looked at the backyard of the villa, where Phyllis had been. He discovered that there was a basement used to store things, but the servants must have carefully looked at the items inside. After investigating, nothing more will be discovered.

Wait until tomorrow to go to the mansion again and use magic to detect it. If you still don't find it, then maybe the so-called secret is really not in this mansion.

Reiner is indeed not very interested in the position of the family heir. If this is a world without any extraordinary power, then making crazy money may still attract Reiner's attention, but there is magic here and there are many demiplanes. In the extraordinary world, Reiner naturally focused all his efforts on learning magic.

But regarding Aunt Celia's secret, Reiner was also a little curious, but he set a bottom line for himself, that is, to crack it within the scheduled three days. If there is no clue within three days, then he will no longer Ignore it and leave directly.

I am used to seeing disputes between mages,

Nowadays, the competition within this mundane family is somewhat new.

He believed that Raven and Phyllis should already have some clues, but that didn't matter.

Reiner left Claire where he was and picked up the city planning materials to return. He saw a girl with light blond slightly curly hair standing in front of the bookshelf, looking at the vacant position, slightly tilted His head seemed quite confused.

Part of her long light blond hair was tied into a short ponytail at the back of her head. She was wearing a blue top, a long white skirt, and a pair of eye-catching riding boots. The woman was wearing white gloves, and you could see that on her chest, she wore a white collar, There is a brilliant sapphire.

This girl is only a teenager. She has delicate appearance, but lacks the liveliness that should be expected at that age. Her indifferent face has a sense of indifference that is alien to people thousands of miles away. Compared with human beings, she looks more like an extremely delicate person. of dolls.

The woman didn't notice Reiner's approach at all. It wasn't until Reiner put the album in his hand back on the bookshelf that she nodded in realization, and then took out the album from the bookshelf that Reiner had just returned.

"Confirm, city planning and design drawing."

She whispered in a low voice. Although it was very soft, it did not escape Reiner's ears. He felt that the way the other party spoke was a bit strange, but he did not interfere too much.

"Start browsing."

The girl just stood there and opened the album.

Out of curiosity, Reiner did not leave, but just stood aside and watched the other party's actions.

I saw the girl turning the pages extremely fast, her head moving along with it, as if she was browsing. However, the time was so short that Reiner felt that even the fastest reader would not be able to finish it, not to mention that this was a design drawing. Many details cannot be read at this speed.

Maintaining this speed, the girl quickly finished reading the two books that Reiner had read before. It only took less than three minutes. She put the planning and design album back and then noticed Reiner who was watching from the side.

"I found it, strange guy."

The girl said, her voice equally calm.

"It seems a bit rude to say so..."

Reiner was ashamed. It should be said that this person was informal or ignorant. Her words and deeds showed a sense of disregard for the people around her.

"Correction, weird but ordinary guy."

"..."

Reiner broke into a few drops of cold sweat. It seemed very difficult to communicate with this girl. He waved his hand and was about to leave.

"Add information, Rainer Ingle is a strange guy."

Hearing the girl's words, Reiner stopped.

"How do you know my name?"

There is nothing about him that can reveal his identity at a glance, or call him by name, unless he already knows his appearance in advance.

"Definitely, Reiner Ingle is quite a famous person."

The girl replied, the way she chose words and sentences was extremely awkward, as if she had just learned to speak.

"Have you seen my photo before..."

Reiner touched his chin. His photos could indeed be seen in many places. There were people from the Ingle family in this city, so it made sense that this girl could recognize him.

He nodded as if he didn't care, and then left.

The girl tilted her head, a little confused by Reiner's performance, but soon returned to her original indifferent state.

She turned and left, quickly walking out of the library.

On the other side, Reiner took out a piece of paper from his pocket with several small black dots on it. You can see that there is a single red dot between these black dots.

This is tracking magic, which can track the person carrying the target item within a certain range.

During the exchange just now, Reiner had already put an ordinary-looking copper coin into the girl's pocket.

He pretended not to care, but in fact, he had a huge suspicion about the girl.

Reiner prepares to follow the other party.
