Next, for Richard, it was a long wait.

Wait, wait, wait.

In the process, Richard ate the food brought by Princess Ruth, drank the fruit drink, and took time to go to the Garden of Eden to guide Pandora in her latest study and work tasks.

After doing this, until late in the evening, the lounge was lit with candles, and the princess Ruth was still not seen.

Richard almost genuinely believed that Princess Ruth had run away in order to avoid responsibility, after all, the other party now had a good motive.

Just then, footsteps outside rang out.

"Da Da Da ......"

The door opened with a "squeak", and Princess Ruth strode in. At this time, one of her eyes seemed to have cried, red and swollen like ripe peaches, and there was a red mark on her forehead, as if she had been "educated" with a ruler, a short wooden stick or something like that.

Richard looked at Princess Ruth and asked directly, "Have you got the key?"

Princess Ruth glared at Richard and said angrily: "The key, the key, you know the key, which is more important, me or the key? Shouldn't you care about me than the key? When you see me like this, shouldn't you first ask me what I've been through, if I've been beaten, and then ask you about the damn key?"

"But...... We don't seem to know each other very well, Princess Ruth, and besides, the key is obviously more important to me than you, so of course I have to care about the key. Richard said very frankly, and Princess Ruth almost choked to death when she heard this.

Glancing at Princess Ruth's face, Richard continued: "Anyway, you look like this, you can't really be caught stealing the key, right......?

Princess Ruth's expression became embarrassed, and the next moment she stomped her foot viciously and shouted, "You just need to know, I got the key, na, this is it!"

As she spoke, Princess Ruth took out a simple brass key and shook it with her hand. The lounge is lit up and the brass keys shine like gold.

Richard glanced at it and replied lightly: "If you take out this key as soon as you enter the door, there won't be so many things." ”

Princess Ruth: "......" was so angry that she felt the urge to bite Richard hard, but she felt that she couldn't bite it...... Well, I couldn't beat the other party, so I gave up.

Taking a deep breath, Princess Ruth adjusted her mood and said to Richard: "My father said that the key can be given and the library can be entered, but there is a request. First of all, the person entering the library must be a member of the royal family. ”

"Huh?" Richard looked at Princess Ruth, "why, do you want me to go in as you don't know how many fiancés?" ”

"Think beautiful!" said Princess Ruth, "even if I die, I won't let you be my fiancé, no matter how many numbers it is!"

"So how do you meet this condition?"

"It's very simple, although you are not a member of the royal family, I am, and I am a direct bloodline. So, I'll take you in, and I'll monitor your behavior throughout the whole process to make sure you don't mess with what's inside. Princess Ruth said solemnly.

"But didn't you want to go in the first place, does that make a difference?"

"Stupid, of course there's a difference. "I only wanted to go in and have a few looks, and then I would come out and let you read slowly in there, after all, I don't like to be in it." What's so good about reading, no matter what you do, it's more fun than reading, right?

But not now, I have to be with you all the time, and I can't let you out of my sight, so it's impossible to come out when you want to. Got it?!"

"That's right. Richard nodded, "Then there are other conditions, right?"

"Yes, of course, there are other conditions. That is, you have a limited amount of time in the library, you are only allowed to read all night, and then you have to leave tomorrow morning. ”

"One night?" Richard pondered: if he could find the knowledge he wanted in the library, just one night should be enough, even if he couldn't understand it, memorize it in a special way, and then organize it after he left, and digest it slowly.

Thinking of this, Richard said, "Yes." ”

"That's good. "Then let's go, let us go, the carriage is waiting outside, get into the carriage and go straight to the palace, and then go to my father's private library." ”

"Good. Richard didn't bother with it, after all, time is limited, so he can save it and follow Princess Ruth out.

......

Outside, Richard and Princess Ruth sat on a carriage that started quickly under the control of the groom, and drove through the streets of Williams City and into the spectacular palace complex.

Richard then got out of the carriage and was led by Princess Ruth into an old-looking palace in the palace. Walk all the way to the end of the palace and stop in front of a smooth wall.

"That's it. Princess Ruth pointed to the wall in front of her and said to Richard, "Behind it, my father's private library. My father told me that there was a lot of information hidden in it, which was very messy, and that even he himself could not determine whether it was true or false, and that in order to prevent it from being circulated and causing confusion, it should not be seen casually, and it must be protected. Of course, tonight, you're an exception. ”

"Next, you get ready and read your books. Princess Ruth said, taking the key to the corner, and groping for a while, "According to my father, the place to open should be...... Well, found it, here!"

Princess Ruth's tone was slightly raised, followed by a "click" of the key inserted and turned.

"Boom!"

As the key turns, a middle part of the wall pushes outward, revealing a small narrow door that can be passed through by one person.

"Let's go inside. "Princess Ruth debuted.

"Good. Richard did not hesitate, and walked in, followed by Princess Ruth.

When Richard walked through the door, he saw that the library was bright, but there was no smoke or dust, because it was not oil lamps or candles that lit it, but the many crystals inlaid in the walls.

That's right, crystals!

Crystals are translucent, which is a specialty of the East Coast, called Solar Crystals. This crystal can be charged with sunlight during the day and then release light in the dark. Compared to lighting methods such as oil lamps and candles, there are countless advantages. Even compared to the electric lights in the Garden of Eden, they have the benefits of cleaning and energy saving.

However, solar crystals are more fragile than glass, and the price is very high, and many nobles cannot use them. Now that it is placed here in large numbers, it can only mean one thing - the Black Saint Mountain Kingdom is very rich, and the king of the Black Saint Mountain Kingdom is very rich!

Well, very rich!
