"As you can see, everyone has temporarily put aside their disputes because of these books. Those who were fighting passionately outside are now sitting here reading obediently. I really don't know what to say, maybe this is what we call

A certain characteristic of the gray-robed mage’s creature?”

Warnaby teased the fellow disciples present in a joking tone, but no one refuted him.

Those gray robes that filled the library seemed to have had their souls taken away by the books in their hands, and they devoted themselves wholeheartedly to it, without caring about anything else. This made the three people who were still chatting now seem like aliens.

"There are very few times when this feature can be effective. No matter how much the teacher hides, he can't hide a second library. By the way, why don't you seem to be affected much? Could it be that you came too late and didn't grab the book?"

【In view of the general environment,

Curse Crow said as he glanced at the bookshelf, and there were indeed very few books left on it. Not to mention the new books, even the original library books were used by the gray robes for comparison and reference.

At the same time, some gray robes also believe that if new books may appear out of thin air, there may also be secrets hidden in old books. This conjecture was confirmed after a returning bookmark was discovered.

"That's not the case, this place wasn't so lively when I came back. In fact, I secretly hid a few books, and I believe those who started researching first would only have more secretly than me." Warnaby

The second half of the sentence was whispered.

Although Cheese is very suspicious that everyone is obsessed now, even if he shouts that he has hidden the book, no one will react. The focus of the gray robes on research makes them addicted to the knowledge in front of them, or in other words

Indulge in digging out the secrets buried by the teacher from new knowledge that is not very profound.

Both Cheese and Cursed Crow showed rather subtle expressions, because they already knew that the real secrets buried by the teacher were not limited to this library, so at most they could only find clues to the real secrets here.

Of course, this does not mean that these fellow disciples did not see the essence of the problem clearly. It is just that the intelligence they collected was limited, and they were unable to exchange core secrets due to mutual hostility, coupled with their trained research instincts, which led to the current situation.

.

But despite this, it's hard not to feel a dark sense of pleasure when you see these guys who have their eyes set above their heads and are indeed as talented as themselves falling into a misunderstanding.

"Okay, you two had better find a place to start researching quickly. If you can't find books, I can provide some, provided that we share the research results with each other."

Warnaby clapped his hands. The private collection of books would be more meaningful only if they were transformed into mature research reports, so he was particularly proud.

"No, it's not necessary. We are already far behind the others from the beginning. In this case, let's just wait for the results to come out. At that time, except for the first place, everyone will be the same."

The reason cheese said is not outrageous. As long as one person claims that he has obtained the secrets in the book, everyone's goal will change from research to obtaining his discovery.

Under this situation, the discoverer had only two options, either to escape from the library despite being attacked by his peers, or to simply disclose or partially disclose his findings.

No matter what he chooses in the end, it will be the same for everyone else. In this case, why bother now?

Warnaby paused for two seconds in surprise, and then stared at Cheese with strange eyes. For a moment, Cheese thought he had guessed something. But the next second, Warnaby suddenly seemed to have lost interest.

He turned around and left without leaving even a single explanation.

The meaning was obvious. He was very disappointed with Cheese's answer, because as a gray-robed mage, no matter what the outcome, at least he should not give up the opportunity and attempt to solve the puzzle himself. Cheese's words made Warnaby feel

Disgusted, in his opinion, Cheese probably stayed among ordinary people for too long and turned into a less pure mage.

Being misunderstood was not unexpected to Cheese. When this rhetoric was brewing in his mind, he had already thought of the consequences. Warnaby is an ally worth fighting for and can win over, but it is not blind now.

If you tell him the truth when the project expands manpower, he may not spread the word. If you don't tell him the truth, you won't gain trust.

Instead of hanging in the air like this, Cheese would rather end the relationship in a way that makes Wernabi less disgusted with them. In this way, what they lose is at most a potential ally, and they will not gain more out of thin air.

a spy or an enemy.

Without Warnaby's greeting, the library returned to dead silence. Cheese and Cursed Crow exited the room tacitly and signaled each other with their eyes. Although no one seemed to care about the conversation just now, who knew those who pretended to read a book

How many of your fellow disciples are secretly observing?

So what the two of them have to do now is to play the role of speculators well and not let people notice the problems. So what is the most important thing for speculators? Of course it is the opportunity itself, that is, the secret of the book is deciphered

The scene when coming out.

Cheese and Cursed Crow made many related magic props and magic circles in a decent manner outside the library, and sent them into the library through covert means, completing the final step of the layout.

These voyeuristic methods were destroyed by different people within a few minutes after the two turned around and left. But it was enough, it was enough for fellow disciples to define these two people as people who were trying to take shortcuts.

The reality is that their definition is not wrong. Compared with the people who searched for clues in the library, Cheese and Cursed Crow, who confirmed the situation of their fellow students and prepared to further investigate the source of energy supply in the Gray Tower, walked on a shorter route.

On the road.

It's just that this road is something that the gray robes haven't noticed yet.

"Okay, now that we have confirmed what you want to confirm, where should we start to find energy?"

Cursed Crow carefully used magic to encrypt the conversation and asked Cheese. He was not worried about anyone doubting why the conversation was encrypted. After all, the speculation plan between the two had just gone bankrupt, and it was normal to have some follow-up plans.

Cheese thought for a few minutes. The energy veins in the greenhouse lost their direction after leaving the greenhouse. He could not throw the rune stones into the incorporeal magic circuit. The source of the energy supply to the Gray Tower was obviously closely related to everything around them.

It's related, but I just can't find it.
