"Well, go on......" Lin Li nodded, the disaster back then was indeed very famous, even he, an outsider, had heard people talk about it, it is said that after a plague that year, half of the residents lost their lives, and the remaining survivors also rushed to escape from the cursed land, overnight, the rich and prosperous Char Town was turned into a ruin, even twenty years later, no one wants to set foot in this land shrouded in death.

However, Lin Li really didn't expect that the militia in Char Town was actually the predecessor of Char's Thieves...... "I heard that Van Goreh at that time was the first person to discover the spread of the plague...... "Duke probably belongs to that kind of person, who is born with a talent for storytelling, and a patchwork of old stories comes from his mouth, which makes people feel immersive.

In Duke's subdued narration, Lin Li gradually gained a deeper understanding of the disaster.

It is said that after Fan Golei discovered the spread of the plague, he immediately found the mayor of Char Town at that time, hoping that he could find a way to curb the spread of the plague, but unfortunately, Fan Golei's proposal did not attract any attention, this plague that was enough to destroy Char Town, was treated as an ordinary infectious disease, several doctors came to see it and there was no follow-up, the anxious Fan Golei refused to give up, and went to Roland City again, wanting to report the situation of Char Town to the city lord, but Fan Golei at that time was just a militia leader, Who is qualified to meet the lord of Roland City? He didn't even have a chance to enter the gate of the City Lord's Mansion before he was driven out by a group of guards...... Then, tragedy struck.

The plague spread at a terrifying rate, claiming thousands of lives in less than a week, and the entire town of Char was shrouded in fear and despair, all of whom wanted to flee the cursed land, both healthy survivors and unfortunate people who had contracted the plague...... The ** of survival is so strong that no one wants to imagine what kind of disaster these unfortunate people who have been infected with the plague will bring to Roland City if they escape, and on the morning of the seventh day of the plague outbreak, a large-scale escape began, but waiting for them is the army from Roland City...... Thousands of plague-infected people were slaughtered overnight, and most of the residents who escaped were thrown into prison, where they were left in endless isolation and observation until they were confirmed that they were not infected with the plague before they could be released from their cold cells.

And Van Golei and his militia are undoubtedly one of the few survivors of this disaster, because Van Goray reminded them in time that they were not infected by the plague, and then took advantage of the chaos and luckily escaped from Char Town.

Then, a group of thieves named Char was born.

The original lair of the Char thieves group is located in the Xingyue Forest in the north of Doland, where they have developed from a force of dozens of people to one of the top ten thieves in the Light Wind Plain, under the leadership of Fan Gore, the strength of the Char Thieves Group is getting stronger and stronger day by day, and today, they can even compete with some regular armies, and what is even more terrifying is that under the instruction of Fan Gore, the Char Thieves Group has been committed to infiltrating and lurking, and now their power has extended to all corners of the Light Wind Plain, up to the major city lords' mansions, Down to every adventurer's guild, almost any corner, you can find traces of the activity of the members of the Char Thieves Group, so that even the city lord of Roland City, who has always regarded the Char Thieves Group as a thorn in his side, cannot uproot them with a powerful army...... "This Fan Gorei is a talent......" When Lin Li heard this, he couldn't help but admire this bandit leader a little, in just twenty years, from a small thief of dozens of people to a thief group of thousands of people, from a wanted criminal who was hunted down, Developing into a robber who collects protection money is not something that ordinary people can do.

"And what about them now? Is the nest still in the Starry Forest? ”

"No......" Duke shook his head, "Since they eliminated the largest group of thieves in the Dragon Mountains ten years ago, they have transferred the lair there, Wizard Ferry, do you need a map of the Dragon Mountains?" ”

"How do you know I need a map of the Dragon Mountains?" Lin Li glanced at Duke, with a faint suspicion in his eyes, today's Duke, the more he looks at it, the more abnormal it becomes, just telling a story vividly, it is already suspicious enough, and now he has prepared a map for himself before the prophet, when did Duke become so observant? If he really had this eyesight, he wouldn't have been stupid enough to attack Nophie in front of Nophile in the mission hall that day...... "I...... I guess. Duke glanced at Lin Li cautiously, and in order to make himself appear calmer, he even tried to squeeze a little smile on his face, but unfortunately, his trembling voice completely betrayed him.

"Yes......" The smile on Lin Li's face gradually turned cold: "It seems that you miss that little trick that can roast you very much......"

"No, Wizard Ferry, you...... Listen to me...... Duke subconsciously stepped back, but as soon as he lifted one foot, he suddenly remembered that there was a real magician standing in front of him, and if he wanted to kill himself, it would be useless for him to retreat outside the city of Doland.

"Okay, I'll give you a chance to explain."

"These ...... These are actually what Mr. Basel from the Dorland Library told me......"

"Mr. Basel of the Dorand Library?" Lin Li subconsciously frowned, he knew about the Doland Library.

Because for a long time, the Supreme Council has not established a magic guild on the Breeze Plain, so the magicians in the Breeze Plain will choose to discuss issues in the library most of the time, and over time, the libraries of major cities have become the most frequent places for magicians, and Dorand is naturally no exception, in fact, Lin Li has always paid attention to this place, because this place is likely to represent the highest level of magic in the entire Dorland.

However, the name Basel is quite unfamiliar.

Before coming to the Light Wind Plain, Lin Li had also made a lot of preparations, such as checking information, such as asking acquaintances, he had been increasing his understanding of the land of the Light Wind Plain through various channels, but no matter which channel it was, he never mentioned a person named Basel.

"Yes, Mr. Basel, the caretaker of the Dorland Library, he used to be a friend of my father, so he has taken good care of me all these years, and after I left the Adventurers' Guild that day, I went to Doland's library to ask Mr. Basel's opinion on this matter......"

"And that Mr. Basel, that's the story for you?"

"Yes, Wizard Ferry......" Duke nodded, and pulled out a roll of parchment from his pocket, "By the way, and this map, which was also given to me by Mr. Basel, he said you should be able to use it......"

"Yes, that's really a trouble for this Mr. Basel, otherwise Duke, you can help me ask, see when Mr. Basel is free, I will invite him to dinner and thank him in person."

"Okay......

After sending Duke away, Lin Li has been locking himself in his room, carefully studying the map drawn on parchment, from the fresh ink on it, it is obvious that this map has only been drawn in the last day or two, and it may even be that Mr. Basel started to draw it after Duke came to the door, but the lines on the map are quite clear, and every place is marked in detail, if you just look at these, it is really difficult to imagine that this map was drawn in a hurry.

Because it is so detailed, as large as a forest and as small as a ravine, every grass and tree in the Dragon Mountains can be found on this map, in Lin Li's opinion, this is simply an impossible task, and the only reasonable explanation can only be this Mr. Basel, who has known everything about the Dragon Mountains a long time ago, otherwise he would never have been able to draw such a detailed map in such a short time.

If that's the case, things are fun...... A librarian knows all about Char's lair, and if anyone says that there is no story in it, I'm afraid even a fool won't believe it.

"It seems that this meal is really unavoidable......" Lin Li smiled, rolled up the map and put it back in his pocket.

Duke was moving quite quickly, and it was only two hours before he brought back Basel's reply.

"Mr. Basel said that there is no need to eat, but if the magician Ferret has time, he can go to the Dolander Library to find him."

"Hehe, it seems that this Mr. Basel can't wait......" Lin Li smiled secretly in his heart, and let Duke lead the way, and took Nofil to the Doland Library.

The library is near the City Lord's Mansion, which is the best place in the whole of Doland, the surrounding streets are spacious and clean, a marble-paved circular square is facing the library gate, clear fountains, flying white doves, adding a bit of holiness to this treasure house of knowledge, mages in robes come and go in the square, most of them hold thick books in their hands, judging from the High Elf text on the cover, these books should be recorded some relatively high-level spells.

The three of them walked through the circular plaza and stood outside the library gate, and before they could explain their intentions, a guard greeted them with a respectful expression.

"Hello, Dear Mr. Magician, Mr. Basel, please come in, he is now waiting for you in the reception room on the second floor of the library."
