Ninth Library

Occasionally, something like this happens.

Shen Mo looked at the woman sitting in the carriage, and couldn't help thinking that he could probably guess the reason why this girl came here. After all, this was not the first time he had encountered such a thing.

Shen Xiao used to joke about this kind of thing beforehand, saying that in this country where magic is respected, there are still people who are rushing to get her son of the so-called non-magic. As the only son of the Sage of Flame, he still fell in love with Shen Mo's face.

Whenever this happens, Shen Mo will reply with kindness: "It should be both."

Of course, as a mother, Shen Xiao likes to hear such words very much.

The inviter of the banquet obviously knew that the sage of flame would not go to the banquet in person, so he specially sent a girl who was about the same age as Shen Mo.

When Shen Mo looked at the girl, the girl was also looking at Shen Mo curiously with her eyes open.The middle-aged man who was originally sitting on the driver's seat opened the carriage door for Shen Mo, and after the woman in the car nodded slightly, the middle-aged man said to Shen Mo: "Mr. Shen, please get in the car."

The carriage drove the young couple all the way north, perhaps because she was worried that her son would be too bored on the road, so before Shen Mo went out, Shen Xiao prepared a book for her to pass the time on the road.

Shen Mo noticed that since he got into the carriage, the girl in front of him has been sizing him up.

However, this young girl has never talked to Shen Mo. She seemed to want to speak up several times, but once she met Shen Mo's eyes, her face instantly turned crimson, and she couldn't say a word.

The temperature seems to be rising invisible, but nothing can be felt in silence.

The ancient stone-built house is located in the outskirts half a day's drive from the capital. It is a noble villa with extraordinary style. The sunny windows are dotted with delicate dried flowers. The green turf is covered, and the manicured trees stretch out beautifully.

From this look, one can tell that it is a mansion that has been carefully cared for. Shen Mo followed Qin An all the way into the villa. The girl finally mustered up her courage and told Mo Mo her name just before the two were about to get off the carriage. : Qin An.

Speaking of the Qin family, the empress of the Ninth Empire seems to be also surnamed the Qin family. Only then did Shen Mo understand why her mother Shen Xiao did not refuse this banquet. It turned out that it was because of the empress's relationship that she went around for a long time.

Even a magician with high mana, but because of his status, he has to do things he doesn't like. This is talking about magicians like Shen Xiao.

And just stepped into this villa, Shen Mo has already met several acquaintances.

Among those acquaintances, some would greet Silence warmly when they saw him, while others seemed to have never seen him at all.

Silence has long been used to these people.

"Mr. Shen, please wait here for a while, I will go and talk to my father first."

Qin An crossed the garden in front of the house in silence, walked through the winding corridors, and the two stopped until they walked into a staircase similar to a hall.

For Qin An's words, Shen Mo just nodded, and after Qin An left his sight, Shen Mo breathed a sigh of relief, he walked to the window step by step, looked at the garden decorated with flowers, and narrowed his eyes.

In the garden, there was a person who caught Silence's attention. The other person was standing in the crowd, but Shen Mo saw that person at a glance. He didn't know what was so special about the other person. He was able to attract him at a glance. Apart from being a little handsomer, that person seems to be...

The person who has been stared at by Silence seems to have noticed the sight of others. As soon as he raised his head, the eyes of the two met.

Pfft!

Huh?How is this going?

The other party should have noticed that someone was looking at him. That person's black eyes just glanced in the direction where Shen Mo was, and then moved away, but just one glance is enough for Shen Mo to see the person's appearance clearly. .

It was dusk now, and the fine rays of light pierced through the clouds and shone on the man's face, reflecting his handsome outline, like a fairy in a painting.

For beautiful things, Shen Mo has always been extremely willing to appreciate them, but for some reason, he always felt that the person had an indescribable sense of familiarity, and his memory has always been excellent. If he has seen such a beauty How could there be no impression at all, but what about the innumerable sense of familiarity?

Mo Mo looked at the person who was talking to other people and thought, just when he thought he should go down to see that person with his own eyes, Qin An came back.

"Mr. Shen."

"Miss Qin."

There was some sweat on Qin An's forehead, she seemed to be running over, she was still panting slightly, and she was holding a book in her arms, it was a three-dimensional picture book, it was Qin An's most important treasure.

The reason why he held this book was that when he was still in the carriage, Qin An saw Shen Mo reading a book. It happened that Qin An happened to have a three-dimensional picture book of this book in his hand. , Qin An prefers to read these books with pictures. She took out this book in the hope of having a chance, a chance to have a good talk with Shen Mo.

If they can talk smoothly for a while, maybe they can get to know each other well, and in this case, maybe they will have a chance to get in touch further.

Qin An was very satisfied with the silence, remembering what her father had said before leaving today, her face turned red involuntarily.

At this moment, Mo Mo saw the book in Qin An's hand at a glance. The cover of the book was printed with fancy fonts. Mo Mo knew that this book was the same as the one he had read in the carriage.

With a standard smile on his face, he said to the girl in front of him: "Miss Qin, if there is nothing else, I want to go to the garden first, is that okay?"

In fact, you don't need to ask Qin An about this kind of thing, but he is a guest after all, so he doesn't want to lose etiquette and let others have a chance to talk about his mother behind his back.

Mo Mo knew that from the time he stepped into this villa and walked with Qin An, Wu Shuangshuang had already been following him. Bringing a different kind of surprise, it is a pity that they are destined to be disappointed.

Leaving in silence is a great blow to the girl. She has been the jewel in the palm of her family since she was a child. When has she been neglected like this?She knew that the other party was a demonless person, and she even knew that the other party was the only son of the sage of flame. It was because of this that she treated him well, but how did this man treat her?

Qin An was annoyed, because she knew that Shen Mo was rejecting herself, but she didn't understand what she was not taken by Mo Mo, and she had to know how many people lined up to propose to her in the whole empire!

But Miss Qin didn't know that among the people who lined up to propose to her, there was no silence.

After Shen Mo walked out of the villa, he walked directly to the garden of the villa. He still thought about the young man he saw just now. Although it was just a glance, he always felt that he should meet that person.

But for some reason, when he walked out of the villa, what appeared in front of him was a maze, a huge maze repaired by vegetation.

It wasn't like this when I walked in.

Shen Mo already guessed that someone used magic to change his eyes into a different scene. He had encountered a similar scene in the Shen family before, but what he encountered at that time was much worse than this one.

He looked at the maze in front of him, turned around, and saw a girl.

The girl was standing on the marble steps, her eyes were looking at Silence, and she seemed to be waiting for Silence to speak.

The girl knew clearly that Shen Mo was a demonless person, and she couldn't break through the phantom in front of her eyes with magic power, so she appeared here, waiting for Shen Mo to speak.

But Shen Mo still stood where he was. This man just glanced at the girl quietly, then turned around, and walked into the maze without hesitation.

"Wait!" Don't go into that maze!

Before Qin An could say anything, the young man went straight into the maze. Qin An looked anxiously at the direction where the man disappeared. This was the first time she used this magic. In fact, even she herself didn't know what the magic was Can it be successful, but in the face of such a magical silence, he chose to step in without hesitation.

Doesn't Shen Mo know that this maze magic is laid by her?

No, judging from the silent expression, this person must know, but why...

As long as the guests who come here basically know Qin An's nickname - "Half-way magician."

Even the caster himself is not sure whether the magic can really succeed. Qin An realized after looking at the direction where Silence disappeared for a long time. She has to find someone. The sage of flame probably won't let her go!

She rushed out in a hurry and forgot her three-dimensional picture book on the table for a while, but Qin An didn't see it. After she left, the picture book flew off the table by itself and disappeared together into the maze entered by Silence.

This is a labyrinth that changes at any time, it seems to be able to sense intruders, every time Silence takes a step, it will change its path again.

It seemed as if the passage of time could not be felt here at all. Mo Mo still clearly remembered that it was dusk before, but now after he entered the maze, the sky was completely darkened, and a round of bright moon hung in the sky.

It was like someone's eyes, staring closely at Silent's every move.

"It doesn't seem to be here."

Looking at the maze that changed again, he sighed silently. Perhaps he really shouldn't try to enter this maze so quickly. If that Miss Qin is not willing to unlock the magic, will he be trapped for the rest of his life? where?

Maybe, no.

In such a bad situation, if it were an ordinary person, he would have been in a panic, but at this moment, Shen Mo chose to stop, and he just sat where he was so that he could recover his strength.

It is undeniable that at the beginning when he entered here, he was really flustered after discovering that the maze would move, but somehow after he became familiar with this place, he suddenly felt that there was nothing to be afraid of here, perhaps because he was a maze. A person who can get used to the environment very well.

It should be impossible to get out of here in a normal way, Shen Mo thought, if this is the case, he might as well use another method.

As a non-magic person, and a non-magic person who has dealt with magicians for a long time, Shen Mo always carries one or two things that can be used to save his life. These things are prepared by Shen Xiao for Shen Mo. I didn't have the chance to use them, and I didn't expect to meet the stage where they are displayed today.

"First, it should be..."

Shen Mo took out a golden pocket watch from his pocket, and when he glanced at the pointer on the pocket watch, he was about to take out the second thing when he suddenly heard footsteps.

That's right, it was indeed the sound of human footsteps, although it was very light, but he was the only one in this maze at the moment, and it was very quiet here, so it was hard not to notice anything.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Shen?"
