"Torn off?"

Looking at the book in his hand, Sir Ravan looked at it a few more times, and after seeing the torn marks, he took a deep breath.

Asher stood beside Grush, his face uneasy, and when he heard the old man talk to himself, he glanced up, and then immediately lowered his head in fear.

Although it was not his responsibility, after all, Sir Ravan himself did not allow them to look through the books, they only had the authority to clean, count and embalm.

But he didn't know if his master would be angry with him because of this, because Grush and he found out about it, and the deacon was now a little afraid that he would be angry.

However, Sir Ravan did not do such a disgraceful thing, he only frowned, and asked, "Lord Grush, can you tell me about the scene?"

As the heir to the title and lordship, Sir Ravan had naturally read the book in his hand, but it had been so long that he had forgotten what it was written in, but he still remembered very well that several monks had visited Ravanne's house before, and at that time, they had made the same request as the paladin in front of him, and he naturally agreed.

In recent months, many people have been in and out of the library beneath Lavin's house, and they are all suspicious.

In the time between the last monk's visit, and before Grush's visit, someone entered the library and tore out some of the pages, and Sir Ravan could not recall what they were about, but as it stands......

Sir Ravan listened quietly as the paladin recounted the scene without interrupting, frowning in deep thought after the paladin had explained everything.

He didn't know if the pages were important, because there were several monks who had read the book before Grush, and if the things in these pages were important and crucial, they would have been torn out a long time ago.

However, none of the previous monks had mentioned the matter to him, so it can be seen that the pages of the book were not torn off before Grush and Asher entered the library.

Because of this, Sir Ravan had some difficulty judging the importance of the events described in these pages.

There were only two people in the library at the time, Grush and Asher, and in this case, both would focus on each other, so they still didn't have time to commit crimes.

So, is there a mole in Lavin's house? To be able to enter the library and find the book on several shelves and hundreds of books, and tear off a few pages of the book, which would never have been possible for an outsider.

Even if a stalker could pick the lock on the door and find the book exactly in the library...... Wait a minute!

Sir Ravan suddenly realized something—

With a look of shock, he looked up at the paladin, only to see the paladin nodding and saying seriously, "Sir Mar Laven, do you realize it too? The circumstances did not allow me to continue to check a library, and one person was not enough, Sir Raven, and I think you should need some help. ”

“...... Asher!"

After a moment of silence, Sir Raven's voice woke the deacon, who had fallen into a state of panic at Grush's words.

He looked at his master in confusion, awaiting Sir Raven's next words.

With it in his hand, Sir Ravan commanded in a deep voice: "Go and call them all, check the other books in the library for any defects, and after inspection, if there are any pages missing, bring them to me, and then let the rest of the family ...... No, go to the study! Let them wait for me in the study! Go!"

This was the bedroom of Sir Ravanne's youngest son, and when he realized this, Sir Ravan changed his tune.

There was a sense of urgency in Sir Ravanne's words, and Grush, who was watching from the sidelines, understood what that 'urgency' was all about.

After the first 'patient' appeared, in Mara, one patient after another became ill, more than four months ago.

Penu said that the first patient to become ill, a herder named 'Ankaro', had died just half a month ago.

According to the monks who came to examine the body of Ankaro who had died, the herdsman was still healthy and showed no signs of muscle atrophy before he died, but on the contrary, he was even stronger than he was before he was sick.

Because of this, this seems to be the weirdness of this matter.

The young master of the Ravan family and Penu's sister Hana were 'sick' at the same time, the same three months, and if the time is calculated, it may not be long before their 'death date' comes.

Since half a month ago, Marat's sick patients have died one after another in chronological order of illness, and people have not left Marat under the orders of the lord, but everyone in the city is terrified, and there is no figure to be seen on the streets.

At first, Grush thought it was the cause of the fierce sun, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

But it's useless to hide in the house, people are still sick, and people who should be dead are still dying.

Under the double coercion of this strange phenomenon and the orders of the lord, Marat has become a 'city of dead silence'!

Grush didn't follow Asher to take inventory of the library, although he had a lot to do with it, because it might mean a 'clue', but it wasn't something he could do, he was here, and his status was just a 'guest'.

After Sir Ravan had instructed his servant to take care of his young son, Grush followed him to the study on the second floor.

On the way, he saw that people were starting to get busy, and there was a bit of haste and irritability in their steps, and when those steps frequently landed on the marble tiles, the overlapping sounds could make anyone feel upset.

Sir Ravan was no exception, and when he entered the study and sat down, his apparent irritability faded.

"I'll make you laugh, Lord Grush. ”

Grush sat across from Sir Raven, who sat behind his desk, and between the two lay the book.

As soon as Sir Laven finished speaking, before Grush could reply, the door behind him was pushed open, and Grush looked back, and a man who was not fat, but could only be said to be 'strong', walked in, with a cute smile on his face, and after entering the door, he asked, "Brother, what's the matter?"

"Stand!"

When the honest man tried to sit down on the sofa against the wall, Sir Ravan suddenly opened his mouth and shouted.

A look of astonishment appeared on the honest man's face, and he subconsciously straightened up and looked at him suspiciously.

"I'll let you stand!" said Sir Ravan in a stern voice, staring at his brother.

The honest man saw the gloomy look on Sir Raven's face, and his mouth was sobbing and he wanted to speak, and at last he could not say anything, and stood in front of the sofa with his head bowed.

Although he was a little annoyed for a moment, now, he also realized that something might have happened, and it should be a big deal!

Afterwards, people entered the study, and Grush saw Sir Ravanne's two younger brothers, their respective wives and sons, and Sir Ravanne's own wife and daughter.

With the addition of Grush himself, there were already ten people in this small study, and when he turned his head, he could feel that the study had become a little crowded.

Tension pervaded Sir Ravanne's relatives, and they saw that Sir Ravan behind his desk had an ugly face, and they whispered much more to each other.

"Sir!"

Dozens of minutes later, Sir Raven's relatives were already a little impatient, and at this time, a panting Asher pushed the door with the other three deacons, who were also sweating profusely.

By this time, Grush was already on his side.

Even Sir Raven's family had to stand, and he, a guest, was embarrassed to sit any longer, so now he stood aside and looked at the other thirteen people in the study—including Sir Raven, who were all suspicious!

"Eleven ......"

It was only after hearing Asher's words that the eyes of Sir Raven's relatives shifted from the faces of the deacons to their bosoms—the books.

Asher gasped and said, "Forty-two pages in total!"

"It's just a cursory examination, but eleven books, a total of forty-two pages have been torn out!"
