Princess Ruth was startled, closed the book in a panic, and looked at the air in front of her seriously, extremely serious. It was as if there was a big one-pound diamond hidden in the air that would fall out at any moment.

"Da Da Da ......"

Richard approached, and soon walked away. It turned out that Richard just didn't know what to remember, so he suddenly walked to a nearby wooden shelf, took a book and looked at it a few times, and then walked back.

Princess Ruth's eyes squinted, one glancing, two glances, three glances, making sure that Richard had really walked away, and did not notice her at all, took a deep breath and opened the book again.

"I didn't look, I didn't look, I didn't look. Princess Ruth muttered quietly, covering her face with her hands, and then peeking her eyes perfectly through the gaps between her fingers, scanning the contents of the book.

The large, constant repetition of a monosyllable content, a large blank paragraph, giving people infinite reverie, constantly entered the eyes of Princess Ruth.

Princess Ruth's body couldn't help but tense, her legs were close together and clamped, the whole person writhed unnaturally, and the temperature of her cheeks continued to rise.

One, two, three......

Princess Ruth felt that her whole face was about to burn, and her mouth was so dry that the breath she exhaled was hot. But as if he had eaten the forbidden fruit, he couldn't stop at all, reaching out and turning the page, and then turning the page......

This night, she was intoxicated and couldn't extricate herself.

Until the end, Princess Ruth didn't know how many pages she had read, only that the words were shaking in front of her eyes, and that her many lovers were about to come out of the book. Leaning on the bookshelf with a sour body, the upper and lower eyelids are closed together, the head rests on the bookshelf, and he falls asleep groggily, and enters the land of dreams full of beautiful and colorful dreams.

......

On the other hand, Richard had no idea or care what Princess Ruth was doing, and was constantly browsing through the books in the library.

Feeling and calculating the time in my heart, the speed of browsing is constantly accelerating, almost turning the page at a glance and ten lines. Once you notice the content of the book, there is no possibility of any connection with the information you want, so you will unceremoniously just throw it away and replace it with another one.

And just like that, Richard browsed through one bookshelf and another bookcase.

In the process, he did learn some information about the former Black Spirit Empire, but it was too little for him to have much effect. And the content of the book, there is no mention of the secret of the Black Spirit King.

He still needs to keep browsing and searching until he finds what he wants.

Eventually, Richard walked over to a bookshelf near the edge wall.

With a glance, Richard saw that the books on this shelf were slightly quaint and heavy, with a metallic cover.

Pulling out a copy from the shelf, Richard found that the book was heavy, knocked on the cover, and saw that the whole book was vibrating slightly, and the book turned out to be a metal shell, as if it had been specially embalmed, and there was no trace of rust on it.

"This isn't your average book. ”

With this thought in mind, Richard slowly turned the first page. As soon as my eyes fell, I couldn't help but squint, because I saw that in the middle of the first page, there was a familiar pattern!

Black triangles, inscribed circles, bisected triangles, and vertical lines of circles.

Emblem of the Black Spirit Empire!

Richard's eyes became serious, and he took a deep breath, ready to roll down.

At that moment, a cough sounded behind him.

"Ahem!"

After hearing the voice, Richard's eyes shrank suddenly, the muscles of his whole body contracted, and the whole person became highly vigilant and entered a fighting posture.

The reason for this was that he could hear the cough hoarse and old, and it was definitely not from Princess Ruth, who was also in the library with him.

So who will it be?

Richard turned his head sharply to look behind him, and saw an old man in yellow, who didn't know when he appeared.

The other party's face was full of wrinkles, his beard was white, he looked more than seventy or eighty years old, his hands were hanging weakly on his chest, and the back of his hands was covered with brown age spots.

"Hello, boy?" the old man in yellow greeted with an expressionless face, unable to see his joy or anger.

Richard did not relax his vigilance at all, and asked aloud: "You...... Who is it?"

"Me?" replied the old man, "I am from the Holy Mountain. ”

"Holy Mountain, what Holy Mountain?"

"Oh, what holy mountain?" the old man seemed to hear the most incredible thing, "what do you think it should be? There is only one holy mountain on the entire east coast, and even in the whole world, and I come from the only, ancient, eternal, sacred and inviolable holy mountain!"

Richard's eyes narrowed, not wanting to discuss too much with the old man about a secret place name, and said, "Okay, you're from the Holy Mountain, I know." So what are you here for?"

The old man chuckled: "My purpose here is actually very simple, and that is to stop your stupid behavior. ”

"Stop my stupid behavior?"

"Yes, stop your stupid behavior. The old man nodded, "I'm from the Holy Mountain, but I'm also the caretaker of this library, you can call it...... Administrator. The existence of this library is more important than you think, and even the current king of the Black Sacred Mountain Kingdom cannot fully understand its truth.

There's a lot of stuff hidden here, a lot of secrets hidden. Some of them can be known, but some of them can never be known, and can only be sealed here.

What you are preparing now is some of these secrets that no one can know. So, you have to stop and leave. Got it?"

Richard raised an eyebrow.

The old man continued to speak, looking quite serious: "I know, you are a very powerful boy, you are smarter than many people, better than many people. I believe in you, the future must be limitless, and the entire East Coast may not be able to bind you.

But the smarter the person, the more humble he should be, and the smarter the person, the more he should know when to pretend to be confused. Now is the time for you to be humble and pretend to be confused. Because, there are some things that you are not destined to touch, and once you try to touch them, then the cost is simply unbearable!"

"And what if I have to touch and bear this?" said Richard, holding the book, "for example, I must turn to the next page and see what is on it?"

The old man's expression became cold: "I said, you shouldn't be like this. If you have to force it, you're going to end up with something you don't want to do. ”

"But I think it's the fate I don't want to get the most out of retreating in front of what I'm most curious about. Richard looked directly at the old man, and the next moment he didn't hesitate much, he opened the page in his hand, his body bent slightly, and he was ready for battle.
