Chapter 1692: Peeling Away the Cocoons to Find Clues
...Ah, I came to my senses. "
"Yes, I finally came to my senses."
Behind me, two arrogant maids who had no masters were whispering just enough for me to hear.
I'll deal with you later.
After glaring back, I coughed heavily.
"Thank you for your hard work. I wonder if you found any clues about the metal body when you were browsing?"
Their eyes first fell on Willas, Linya and Sarah, and they shook their heads regretfully.
"What about you?" I looked at Lena and the three precious daughters again.
Again, the answer was a shake of the head.
"Hilmanya, Claudia, have you gained anything?" I looked at the two guards with the little hope I had left.
"Sorry, Your Highness the Prince (Elder), we didn't find it."
"Where are you two?" I cast my last glance at Princess Sanwu and Maid Huang Duanzi, two guys with explosive fighting prowess, and asked with strong expectations.
The two of them silently handed a set of the Duke of Beasts series into my hands as a sign of silence and comfort.
I don't want comfort like this, you bastard!
Does that mean total annihilation?
Looking at the mountains of books. I pressed my temples with a headache.
Although in an unexpectedly short period of time. After reading it, if you don’t get anything out of it, it’s like wasting these five days.
Ah, yes, there are also little ghosts!
I pinched the little ghost's soft face that felt so good to touch, and woke up the sleeping goddess.
"Ula, walahadaha wooha~~" This stupid saint looked cute under my kneading, making a vague and delicate voice, and her eyes were blurred. He gradually woke up, and then his eyes became fierce.
"Refining Furnace!!! (Tenchu)" let out a sweet cry, and then, I was bitten.
Although within five days. The only one who didn't do her job properly was the little ghost, who didn't help me read through the books properly, and even acted like a spoiled brat and made trouble. However, she managed to read some of them. Maybe the last glimmer of hope lies with her.
"Uh-huh, Ben... I have a sharp gaze, and no clues can escape my eyes." After learning the purpose of waking her up, the little saint's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and she looked very proud. The posture of a strong woman.
"Your great Highness Alice, please guide your loyal servant the way." I heard this. Immediately assume an attitude of piety.
"After reading through the sharp-eyed Ben..., I discovered..."
"I found something." I widened my eyes and held my breath.
"I didn't find anything... let it go, let it go, it's just someone pretending to be a church and pretending to be a ghost to deceive believers." I told everyone.
"I'm not pretending to be a ghost!" The little saint rushed up from behind, strangled my neck, and shouted angrily.
"I'm just teasing Xiaofan."
"How innocent is this? To tease a poor man's faith." I pretended to be shocked.
"Simple single, pure pure, diamond-like diamond, biting bite."
"Can you say something I can understand?" I was confused.
The little ghost moistened his throat. Using her voice full of holy melody, she explained: "In simple translation, this sentence means - if Xiaofan doesn't give diamonds to this pure... me, I will bite someone."
After hearing such a powerful explanation, I knelt down in front of the Holy Lady.
"What should I do? Is it really the last and stupidest way?" I muttered to myself, looking at the pile of useless books in front of me.
According to Artoria's wishes. If you can't find relevant clues in the records of these magic ruins events, then you can only look for keywords from above.
There are so many historical records in the Elf Tribe's inventory. Even if they were all installed in a computer and a keyword search was performed, with the computing speed of Tianhe-1, it would probably take several years to get the results.
When I think about the huge space that can fit into those one hundred and three thousand, even the moral integrity I have sold off over the years, my head is about to explode.
Oh, by the way, maybe the pornographic maid knows something, although this possibility is very slim. After all, there are so many royal pictures, and she only saw one-tenth of the part that she was interested in.
"I have an impression." When I asked casually without any hope, the other party replied calmly and calmly.
"As expected, there is nothing we can do about it. If you don't know it clearly, it is simply impossible to search the space one by one. Even if we are given a hundred thousand years, we may not be able to find it... Wait a minute. ,What did you say?"
I was suddenly startled, and subconsciously grabbed the sexy maid's shoulders and shook her a few times.
"I mean, I seem to have some impression of the history books that record clues about metallic creatures." The maid said again expressionlessly, but in a faint way, the corners of her mouth seemed to curl up happily.
"real?"
"real!"
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Your Highness didn't ask."
I:"……"
This guy is trying to make me angry, right?
Just when I was about to tremble and use my master's power to scold this arrogant maid, Sarah was beside me and pulled my sleeves, as if she had something to say.
What's wrong?
I squatted down halfway and saw Sarah put her petite and beautiful lips together and breathed softly in my ear.
"Brother, don't be angry with Sister Jeluka. Sister Jeluka probably just wanted to stay with eldest brother for a while longer, so she didn't say it on purpose."
I was stunned for a moment. Then he looked at Sarah with grateful eyes.
She is indeed a considerate little loli. I saw through this immediately. In fact, I should have been able to detect the intentions of the pornographic maid, but I was too concerned about this mission, which led to me neglecting such an important matter.
Not only that, if the coquettish little maid hadn't done this, she wouldn't have been able to exchange for the five days of fun that the girls and I spent together. Thinking about it, I finally had some free time during this time, and I wasn't squeezed out by that old fox in Akala. But I still couldn't be with them, and I was immediately ashamed.
It’s Jeluka who has good intentions. Although it was originally selfish and just wanted me to accompany her, she didn't expect that all the girls would come to join in the fun.
"For the sake of Sarah pleading for you, I will spare you this time." Sarah pursed her lips and snickered. I coughed a few times to save face and said it all.
Accompanied by Jeluka again, the two of us came to the entrance of the Royal Library, on the one hand to put back the books we took out a few days ago, and on the other hand, to find the book she said might have Book of clues.
After running a few times and returning all the books one by one, we once again entered the boundless white space, with 13,000 giant doors still standing neatly and vastly around it. The top of the head and the soles of the feet are as if they are in one world.
"Where is the book you mentioned?" Seeing that the other party made no movement, I asked proactively.
"Wait a minute, I need to think about it carefully. The impression is very weak." The maidservant Huang Duanzi closed her eyes tightly and concentrated on remembering.
"Yes." The pair of purple dreamy eyes suddenly opened, and its owner said lightly.
"Storage records of the anecdotes of the Twelve Knights of the past generations, the true uncertainty...the authority is level seven secret..."
From the Huang Duanzi maid's serious and dignified look. As well as his muttering behavior, it seems that finding the location of the book is obviously much more difficult than the last time.
As she spoke, the 13,000 giant doors began to rotate like gears again, passing by one by one. Gone, this time. It took a full ten minutes for the other 132,999 giant doors to completely disappear, leaving only one giant door standing in front of you.
"Thank you for your hard work." I gently held the little maid's soft little hand to show my appreciation.
"It's a trivial matter." Wiping the slight sweat on her forehead, the little maid raised her eyebrows briskly, looking very proud, which made people laugh.
"Go in. By the way, I heard you murmuring to yourself just now. It seems that the space where the book is located is related to the anecdotes of the twelve knights of the past. Is that so?"
"Yes, fortunately that's the case, otherwise I wouldn't have the impression." Huang Duanzi's maid nodded, took the lead and walked forward, pushing the huge and heavy door open.
There is still a terrifyingly large space inside, and the rows of huge shelves that can’t be seen are quite full of books. It’s hard to tell that there seem to be many, many stories about the Twelve Knights of the past.
"It's such a huge amount. Do you know where it is?" I sighed as I looked around at the huge bookshelves lined up on both sides.
"I only know the approximate location. It will take some time to look for it." The pornographic maid who was walking in front, looking at the labels on the bookshelf, responded calmly.
"Is there anything I can do to help?"
"No, Your Highness, please roll aside and don't disturb me."
"Okay," I thought the same thing, so I lay down on the floor, twisting and rolling around like a caterpillar, amusing myself so much... Asshole, who would do this? What a lonely thing!
After waiting for several hours, I heard a distant voice like "Found it" that contained a touch of excitement, reaching my ears.
Turning around, I saw that in the aisle between two rows of bookshelves, the pornographic maid was walking towards this side from such a distance that I could only see a small dot.
After all, how many bookshelves did I find? I felt a little distressed, so I went up to her, and without saying a word, I gently held her in my arms and kissed her on the forehead.
"Your perverted and shameless prince, ordinary scenes can no longer satisfy you. Do you want to humiliate your maid in such a solemn and sacred library to get pleasure?"
A beautiful blush appeared on her pretty face. The maid who made pornographic jokes to cover up her shyness was really cute.
Holding this book as a treasure, the two of us sat together and flipped through the pages.
"Well, this is..." I suddenly realized. The Twelve Horsemen recorded in this book. It turned out to be the story of someone he knew, the spirit bear loli Elufacia-chan.
It was just too much of a coincidence. I suppressed my inner surprise and continued to turn to the next page.
After a while, I finally found the part about the keyword "metallic creature" that Jeluka said.
There are only a few sentences describing an elf mage who plans to create a clone of Elfasija-chan. When the loli learns the news, she becomes extremely powerful. Punish that mage for this.
One key word was indeed mentioned. The elf mage used some kind of metal to create a copy of Elufasia.
"Is this all there is?" After looking through the entire book, there was only this little clue. I scratched my head in confusion and sighed.
This clue is too vague, and it is even difficult to connect with the metal creature. It's a shame that this dirty maid can still remember it.
The only thing that is certain is that the elf mage is definitely a lolicon, huh huh.
"There's nothing we can do about it. There's too much information and too few clues. I'm so thankful to be able to find it." Huang Duanzi's maid snorted slightly dissatisfied and got awkward.
"I'm not blaming you. Being able to remember such vague content is already very impressive, but just mentioning this, you can't even confirm whether you can contact the metal creature that appeared, so it doesn't seem to be of much use."
I quickly coaxed, and then the maid snorted again and lost her temper.
"Not only that, what is recorded here is the anecdotal history of the twelve knights. In other words, it is not certain that this content actually happened. It may also be a story made up by others."
"What should I do?" I shrugged my head helplessly, feeling that the future was bleak and continued to give up hope.
"It's not that we can't continue to follow the clues. First, we must determine whether it is a fact. If it is a fact, we must also determine whether the metal mentioned in it is related to the metal-bodied creatures that appear now."
The dirty maid seems to be proposing a very troublesome solution. However, there is no other way except to continue the investigation with the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
"So, how should we follow the clues now?" I cheered up a little and continued to ask.
"Put it on me." Said with such confidence, the maid opened the book again, turned to the page of clues just now, and confirmed the year of the incident.
"Very good, the time has been roughly confirmed." Closing the book, she quickly stood up and put the book back.
"Go to the next one."
Following the dirty maid, I looked at her with curious eyes. It was rare to see this maid who was always lazy, and it was rare to see her full of energy.
After coming out of this space, I was led by her to the next space, which still recorded the information of the Twelve Knights, but the content inside was no longer an uncertain anecdote, but official history that actually happened.
According to the time of the incident confirmed in the book, not long after, the pornographic maid called over and brought a thick stack of books over.
"So...so many?" I almost cried.
"..." The other party seemed to whisper something.
"What did you say?" I asked loudly, not hearing it.
"One-tenth..." Huang Duanzi's maid slightly enlarged her voice and repeated.
I fell head over heels.
So many stories happened in just one period of time, Alu Facia-chan, your history is really magnificent, Alu!
I don't know whether I should call it lucky or unlucky. The weight of this time is less than one-tenth of the magic ruins incident. With the help of the girls, it should be possible to confirm the contents within a day.
So, the maid Huang Duanzi and I had to move these books back again, anxious for Willas and the others, and continue working.
In fact, unless that content is not recorded in it, you don’t necessarily have to turn to the last book to find useful information. When I continued to bury my head in the pile of books with a life-or-death mentality, it only took less than an hour. , God gave me a bright future.
"Dad...Dad, I found it." Xiao Heitan timidly came up and handed a book to me.
"Wha...what?" I didn't expect happiness to come so quickly, I couldn't even believe it.
"I...I'll confirm it again." Probably frightened by my attitude, Xiao Heitan immediately lost confidence and turned back, wanting to read it again.
"Wait, good daughter, come here." I realized what I was doing, and quickly hugged Xiao Heitan, put her on my lap, gently touched her head and said, "Come, tell daddy, which part is it?" , it doesn’t matter if you make a mistake.”
Xiao Heitan flipped through the book in his hand, and presented one of the pages in front of me.
After reading a few words, I was overjoyed. I couldn't help but stood up with my arms around Xiao Heitan, turned around, kissed her hard on the face, and laughed loudly.
"It's really recorded. It's great. Xiao Heitan is really dad's lucky star."
Little Heitan, who was picked up by me and receiving everyone's gaze, seemed at a loss and could only bury his head on my chest.
"I'm sorry, I'm too excited." After noticing this subtle move of my baby girl, I quickly stopped, held Xiao Heitan tightly in my arms, and comforted me softly.
Then, he took the book from Xiao Heitan's hand and flipped through it carefully to find the page just now.
At this time, everyone also put down the books in their hands and gathered together. Regardless of whether they were interested in the content, they were the culprits who had troubled such a large group of people and chewed the book for five or six days.
The girls came over one after another, and they were all beautiful women. Standing together so densely, it was like a family portrait of the top beauties from the Dark Continent. I was so fascinated that I didn’t know where to look.
After finally calming down, I read out the contents word for word, and the secret of the metal creature gradually emerged... It stands to reason that I was very leisurely when I just went to work. Indeed, the boss was very leisurely. I dumped a few reports...
Then there are the usual requests for recommendations, monthly passes, subscriptions, Minna, Happy New Year ki☆ra (this person is already so busy).
