Ninth Library

"Where's your son?"

After coming to the imperial capital after a long absence, the first thing Nana did was to come to see Shen Xiao.

As a good friend for many years, Shen Xiao reminded herself to have a lot of adults, and not to haggle over every detail with such an unruly little girl.

"Put your feet down!" After holding back for a long time, Shen Xiao finally couldn't help it anymore, she glanced at someone's feet that had been raised on the table, and said to the other party.

Nana has a sharp and clever oval face, two thin willow-leaf eyebrows, a pair of watery almond eyes, and a pair of pointed ears on top of her head, which looks like a cat. Average ears.

If ordinary people see a cute little girl with a pair of cat ears, they will definitely think that it is just a pair of rare accessories, but Shen Xiao knows that the pair of cat ears on Nana's head are real, because the one in front of her is real. The guy is really just a cat.

At this moment, Nana was lying on her back on the soft sofa, with her head resting on someone's lap, looking very comfortable.

The person she used as a pillow squinted, looked at Shen Xiao with a smile, and said, "Professor Shen, long time no see."

Shen Xiao looked at the other person, and said: "Yan Youran, the timing of your visit is very unfortunate, Shen Mo is not at home today."

Yan Youran: "We know, that's why we came to see you, Professor today."

Shen Xiao: "Oh?"

Shen Xiao looked at the young man in front of her. He looked only fifteen or sixteen years old. From the outside, he seemed to be about the same age as Nana, with a smile on his face. The girl beside him was holding a book in her arms. , although she was talking with Shen Xiao, her eyes were fixed on the book.

Shen Xiao picked up the coffee beside her, looked at the two people in front of her, and after a long time, she asked slowly: "Is it the World Tree?"

Yan Youran: "Yes, Professor Shen."

As a sage of flame, Shen Xiao is a professor in a certain magic academy and gets a salary, but the number of times she goes to school in a month is only a handful.

Although Shen Xiao didn't like the imperial capital, she seldom left the imperial capital. Even after adopting Shen Mo, she almost never left the imperial capital of the Ninth Empire.

No one knows that in the imperial capital of the Ninth Empire, there is a very important existence. There is an existence protected by countless magic, and there is the origin of this world.

Shen Xiao has come here three times since she became the Sage of Flame. The reasons for coming here are different each time, but the only thing in common is that World Tree wants her to come here.

Nana didn't come with them. According to her own statement, she doesn't want to come here now.

When Yan Youran came out, she saw Nai Nai outside the mirror door as expected. In fact, as long as the girl takes a step forward, she can pass through the mirror door and enter the space where the World Tree is.

"Aren't you going to take a look?"

Yan Youran asked, Nana's face was indifferent, even with some disgust, her eyes seemed to look through the mirror door to something else hidden behind it.

After hearing Yan Youran's words, she just looked sideways slightly and said, "That child named Mo Mo is in that villa of the Qin family now?"

"Yes."

Nana is very concerned about Shen Mo's every move, Yan Youran already knew this, so even if the girl asked Shen Mo at this time, he was not surprised.

"Really, in this case, we will meet."

The girl muttered to herself, her voice dissipated in the wind, Yan Youran sighed when she looked at her.He only hoped that Silence would not disappoint his expectations.

On the other side, Shen Mo stretched out his hand to Qin An in front of his eyes.

Silence: "If it's cold, it's better to leave here as soon as possible."

Qin An: "Huh?"

It was only at this time that Qin An realized that Shen Mo had put a coat on her body, which was Shen Mo's own coat.

The girl looked at the man in front of her, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes. She didn't seem to expect that the man would give her the coat he was wearing.

"Miss Qin An, do you know the way out? Then you should leave quickly. I have other things to do, so I'll take a step first."

After Shen Mo finished speaking, he lightly pulled his sleeves out of Qin An's hands, then turned around and left without hesitation.The girl looked at the back of the man leaving, and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

"Unexpectedly, there really are such people."

Her voice echoed in the empty room, cold, like a piece of solid ice that hadn't been broken for a thousand years, without a trace of warmth.

"Lin Yue! Lin Yue!"

In less than a quarter of an hour, a big living person disappeared in front of his eyes. Shen Mo had to admit that this Lin Yue was indeed a character, because even the mother of the sage of flame, in front of her, He can also sense using magic, but this Lin Yue, he can't feel anything.

It is obviously a person who just met for the first time, but somehow he started to care about the other person, perhaps because of the previous adversity, maybe the truth may be revealed, all in all, there is only one thought in Shen Mo's mind now, that is, hurry up Find Lin Yue, and leave this ghostly place!

Just when he turned around and was about to go deeper into the house, the young man slowly came out from the darkness. The sleeve of his left hand was a little torn, but this did not affect his demeanor in the slightest.He still held a book in his right hand. The ancient book binding had an indescribable sense of mystery. He noticed the book in the other's hand at a glance in silence, but when he walked up to the young man, he asked: "Are you okay?"

Lin Yue followed his gaze, only to realize that his left wrist seemed to be injured, but this kind of minor injury was not a serious problem to him, so he nodded after listening to Silence's words , and then raised his left hand, wanting to show Silence that it's really all right.

"bleeding."

Even in the darkness, the red color of the blood was so dazzling, Shen Mo was a little dizzy, he took out his handkerchief and tied a knot on Lin Yue's wrist, which temporarily stopped the bleeding.

"Thank you." It seems that at this time, he should express his gratitude to the other party. Apart from saying these two words, Lin Yue didn't know what else to say for a while. He noticed that the silence seemed a little uncomfortable, and It should also have something to do with the smell of blood on his hands, so after Shen Mo treated the wound for him, he put his hand behind his back, and even slightly distanced himself from Shen Mo.

"Miss Qin told me how to get out just now, let's go out now too."

The stars and spots left by Qin An have disappeared, but fortunately, Shen Mo still has a good brain, and he still remembers clearly how to go.

But after listening to his words, Lin Yue did not move. With his uninjured right hand, he put the book that he took out with great difficulty into Shen Mo's hand, and then said to Shen Mo: "Qin An was also wearing a suit before. book?"

Hearing this, he nodded silently.That's right, when I met Qin An before, she was indeed holding a book in her hand. Speaking of which, he only cared that Miss Qin's whole body was getting wet, but he didn't notice that there was something wrong with the book she was holding in her hand. What's strange, he didn't realize it until Lin Yue reminded him that the book in Qin An's hand didn't seem to be wet.

Such a strange thing, why hadn't he noticed it before?

This is not at all like the mistakes I usually make!

Looking at Shen Mo's uneasy face, Lin Yue knew that he had guessed right. He reached out and gently grasped Shen Mo's wrist, and said to him, "Don't move."

As soon as his words fell, a magic circle flashed out at the feet of the two.

"La la... la la la..."

The girl was humming an unknown song. She was sitting by a fountain pool that had been destroyed and could not see its prototype, and there was a book lying beside the girl.

When Shen Mo and Lin Yue appeared in front of Qin An together, the girl was not surprised at all, she just looked at the two quietly, as if she had been waiting for them for a long time.

The wet clothes on the girl's body were all dry at this moment, and she was still wearing the overcoat of Silence. When her eyes saw Silence, she smiled.

"silence!"

She looks really happy!

"Miss Qin An, can you give me the book in your hand?"

The girl wanted to get close to Shen Mo, but was stopped by Lin Yue. His figure covered Mo Mo, looked at the girl in front of him and said.

"The gatekeeper of the library? I really didn't expect that there would be a gatekeeper of the library at my banquet!"

A key hung around Lin Yue's neck, a silver key inlaid with dark blue gemstones, engraved with words like ancient poetry.

When she saw the key, Qin An couldn't help taking a step back. She seemed a little afraid of the key, and even gritted her teeth when she said the words 'library janitor'.

Mo Mo doesn't know what a library janitor is. The only thing he knows is that Qin An is very dangerous now.

The clown who led Shen Mo and Lin Yue into the house at first appeared in front of them again at some point, with exaggerated makeup on his face, he jumped behind Qin An, and then he was like the same A gentleman knelt down in front of Qin An on one knee, and presented a knife to the girl.

It was a small silver knife, it didn't stay in Qin An's hand for too long before it was thrown out immediately, and the target of the silver knife was Lin Yue.

After realizing that the other party's target was her, Lin Yue pushed Silence aside first, and turned around to avoid the silver knife flying towards her. It turned out that this small flying knife was just an opening song. Because there seemed to be something rustling around Shen Mo and Lin Yue.

That is the vine of thorns!

Under the red moonlight, the thick green thorns are ready to move like living things, trying to swallow Silent them completely.

This is not just tricky and simple!

These vines seemed to be conscious, and quickly surrounded Silence and Lin Yue. They entangled each other, gradually trapping them in one place, and then these vines rose step by step and finally formed a cage. .

This is not over yet, after silence and Lin Yue were trapped, the remaining thorns continued to invade from the gaps in the cage formed by the same kind.

Those invading thorns were like whips, and immediately entangled the prey's right foot when the prey was not paying attention.But at this moment, several vines flew over at the same time, and Shen Mo rolled to the ground before hiding. He took out an old-fashioned revolver from his waist, and at this moment, a shot interrupted the entanglement. His vines, the few hit vines rolled violently, as if they were enduring great pain.
