You don't cast spells by the rules at all, do you?

Listening to Elviri's introduction, Sean was stunned. He didn't expect the girl to bring him directly to the base camp. He joked, "Do you trust me so much?"

If there is a traitor, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Elviri looked at Sean: "Why, you don't want me to trust you?"

"That's not the case." Sean smiled. "To be honest, I'm quite happy."

It feels good to be trusted.

Seeing him smile, Elviri also raised the corners of her lips, but quickly suppressed them and said, "Don't betray my trust, or you will die ugly."

This was actually just a polite remark. She brought Sean in, and in a sense, Sean was hers. As a leader, she needed to give Sean a symbolic warning.

After what happened at Flores Hospital, Elviri has completely treated Sean as her own. She has always felt a little guilty about her previous suspicion of Sean, so bringing Sean here this time was also meant to make up for it.

It's just that she won't say these words explicitly, and there's no need to say them explicitly. Although this feeling is a bit strange, deep down in her heart, she really doesn't seem to want Sean to think that she is a woman with a heavy mind...

"I remember Elise just said that you also took the patients from Flores Hospital here?" Sean asked.

"Yeah." Elviri nodded.

Sean seemed to be jealous and reminded: "Don't tell me I'm not an exception. You trust everyone like this."

Elviri rolled her eyes. “Do I look that naive?”

Not everyone can come to Alola Town if they want to.

For some dishonest people, this town is not their hometown, but hell.

In this era of scarce resources, wizards of rank five and above are extremely rare. There are not many in the entire state of Xirakel, but in this small town, there are ten of them, including her.

One of them was called the "Lie Breaker" and lived in the town church for a long time.

He is a priest who is skilled in mind magic and is good at making people honest.

Every new person who comes to the town will be personally questioned by him, and they will also need to go to the church regularly to talk with him. No one can lie under his mental magic.

Wizards often come and go in the town, and there have been witch hunters who tried to sneak in in the past, but the final result was always the same - being tied to the stake and burned to death in the witch hunters' own way.

They never show mercy to their enemies.

"That's it..."

Sean knew about mental magic. It was a very clean spell that was more reliable than the so-called lie detector. It could indeed very accurately determine whether the target had ulterior motives.

"Have I been tested too?" he asked.

Elvira: “Of course.”

Actually not.

But she would say yes.

She couldn't let Sean feel that he was too special to her.

Sean smiled and didn't dwell on the topic. He went to the town with the girl and took a walk on the street.

Compared with modern cities like Holkodu and Old Siegel, the town seemed slow and its architectural style was quite retro, similar to the medieval style in the virtual space. There were few cars on the road, but more horse-drawn carriages, which carried not people but various goods.

The time here seems to have gone back several decades, and there is a touching sense of nostalgia everywhere.

Maybe it was because Elviri was quite famous in the town, but everyone they met on the road greeted them politely and friendly, which made Sean feel like a leader who was visiting the people to inspect the situation with another more powerful leader.

When they reached a certain intersection, Sean suddenly asked the girl, "Can you lend me your cell phone?"

Elviri was subconsciously alert: "What do you want to do?"

"Call yourself so you can keep my number?"

Sean: "..."

"You seem to understand."

"Did I guess it right?"

Elviri turned her head away: "No."

She wouldn't give Sean the chance to trick her.

If you want her phone number, why don’t you just ask?

But Sean wasn't really into this.

"I wanted to call Kate," he said.

The girl and Iris did not touch his cell phone when they were helping him to tidy up his appearance. He took a look at it when he got out of bed and saw that it was out of battery, so he left it in the ward to charge and did not bring it out.

"Kate?"

Elviri remembered that Issa had told her before that Kate had arranged the book signing event for Sean.

That night, when supporting Flores Hospital, Sean also called Kate to help.

Sean explained: "I want Kate to pick me up."

"You're leaving?" Elviri was puzzled. "Don't you like it here?"

"That's not the case. It's pretty good here." Sean looked at the simple neighborhood, stole a glance at the girl, and sighed softly, "It's good, but I can't stay here forever. Training and living both cost money. Didn't you tell me to figure it out on my own? I don't know many people, and Kate is the only one who can help me. I had no choice but to go to him shamelessly."

"Are you close to him?" That was the question Elviri wanted to ask at that time.

"It's okay." Sean said, "He seems to be quite rich. He shouldn't mind having an extra worker."

Elviri: “?”

What do you mean?

Does this guy really intend to follow Kate?

"No!" Elviri refused decisively, "He doesn't mind, but I do."

Sean: "?"

"What do you mind?"

"You are mine, but you follow Kate. How will I save face if this gets out?" Elviri said.

Sean seemed not to have heard clearly and asked in confusion: "What did you just say?"

"Whose person am I?"

Elviri: “…”

She suddenly reacted.

Borrowing a cell phone to make a call wasn’t a trick, but it is now.

Looking at Sean's seemingly sincere and serious eyes, Elvira dodged her gaze and said, "Don't misinterpret my meaning."

Sean said innocently: "I'm just asking, there's no misinterpretation."

Elviri: "Don't even ask!"

"Okay, okay, I won't ask." Sean said helplessly, "Then I won't go looking for Kate, right?"

Elviri wanted to say that she didn't mean to stop Sean from contacting Kate, but she just didn't want him to be Kate's younger brother. But before she could open her mouth, Sean looked worried and muttered, "Where will my money come from? Alas, life is not easy..."

Elviri: “…”

Why does she feel this guy is so teasing?

But the strange thing is, she obviously hates the smell of tea, but when Sean tea comes to her, she doesn't feel disgusted. Instead, even though she knows that this guy is pretending, she still can't help but feel a little soft-hearted.

Fortunately, she is a principled person. No matter how soft-hearted she is, she will not support a man. Otherwise, what would that mean?

"Go find Iris. She has money."

At this moment, Iris didn't know that she was carried out by her good sisters again.

But even if she knew, she probably wouldn't have the time to complain right now.

Because she had just received the call and rushed to the church, someone told her that something big had happened.

The Hall of Truth in the virtual space seems to have been robbed.

……

Chapter 45 "Stolen"

"The Temple of Truth was stolen?"

Elvili soon received a call from Iris and thought she had heard it wrongly.

The Temple of Truth is a building of the spiritual world, how could it be stolen?

"The library," said Iris.

She didn't react at first, but after the other party explained it to her, she realized that what was "stolen" were books.

The books in the library cannot be taken away from the Hall of Truth, but they can be "borrowed" from the library. If someone takes the book away and hides it in an inconspicuous corner of the hall, then no one except him will be able to find it.

This kind of thing had happened several times before, but most of them were unintentional mistakes and happened on the first and second floors, so there weren't any particularly important books. Afterwards, the Dawn Council hired several administrators to work in shifts 24 hours a day, and borrowers had to register their identities. There have been no more problems since then, until today, when another book was lost.

And this time it was on the third floor.

This should have been something to be happy about.

After so many years, someone was finally recognized by the statue and entered the third level of the temple.

He went to the library immediately to look for the knowledge left by Lord Black, hoping to obtain more new things passed down from the era of scholars, to fill his brain, preferably to the point of overflowing. Anyway, he had plenty of time to digest it slowly.

But as he was searching, he suddenly discovered that a few books were missing from one of the bookshelves. He then looked further inside and found a few more missing. He went further inside and found that a whole row was missing... When he got to the center of the library, he discovered that the most valuable book of old languages, which should have been stored in a glass display case, was missing.

Sean heard a few words from the phone: "..."

Like talking about him?

"Is it possible that there was none in the first place?" Elviri asked.

No one knows what happened to the third floor and above of the Hall of Truth. Perhaps these books on the third floor of the library were lost as early as the time of the Scholar?

"That's a possibility," Iris said, "but he said he found footprints, and judging by the traces, they were found within a week."

Elviri: “It is said?”

"Yes." Iris said helplessly on the other end of the phone, "This guy is not easy to communicate with. I asked his students about it."

"Even you are difficult to communicate with?" Elviri didn't quite believe it.

Iris is the most skilled person in dealing with others in their Dawn Council. She has a good personality, is beautiful, and speaks softly. Moreover, the four words "Dawn Council" themselves represent an identity. Who would not even give Iris face?

"Sopya," Iris said.

Elviri: “…”

Oh, Sopea, that's normal.

"This guy is already very arrogant and cold, and this time he was allowed to go to the third floor. I'm afraid he will have to look at us with his nose down from now on." Iris complained.

Sean interrupted curiously: "Can we see footprints in the virtual space?"

"Others can't, but he can." Elviri replied.

Sopea's mental power is very strong. He knows a spell that can see the mental traces left over after a certain period of time. If it is true as Iris found out, that Sopea saw fresh footprints within a week, then the books on the third floor of the library may have been taken away by the owner of the footprints. This is a very serious matter.

Sean asked tentatively, "How serious is it?"

"Isn't this obvious?" Elviri said, "If he doesn't return the book, all wizards who enter the third level in the future will be missing some key knowledge."

That's it? Sean thought there was something he didn't know, like "If the books aren't returned within three days, the library will collapse." He muttered, "Won't it be fine if we just return them?"

"How do you know he will definitely pay it back?" Elviri asked.

Sean: "..."

you guess?

He couldn't answer that question, but he could defend himself.

Sean asked the girl, "Then how do you know he won't pay it back?"

"Because he's too low-key," Elviri said.

The adjective "low-key" is a bit conservative; a more accurate description would be "sneaky."

There was a bit of woman's intuition involved this time, but beyond that, there was logic as well.
