Chapter 307 Librarian

Well, go on..." Lin Li nodded. Even he, a foreigner, had heard people talk about the disaster that year. It was said that after a plague, half of the residents lost their lives, and only the remaining survivors They also rushed to escape the cursed land. Overnight, the wealthy and prosperous town of Xiaya turned into ruins. Even today, twenty years later, no one wants to set foot in this land shrouded in death. soil of.

But Lin Li really didn't expect that the militiamen in Xiaya Town were actually the predecessors of the Xiaya Thieves Group...

"I heard someone say that Fan Gaolei was the first person to discover the spread of the plague at that time..." Duke probably belongs to the kind of person who is born with a talent for telling stories. A patchwork of old events from the past came out of his mouth. The narration gives people an immersive feeling.

In Duke's ups and downs narration, Lin Li gradually gained a deeper understanding of the disaster.

It is said that when Fan Gaolei discovered the spread of the plague, he immediately found the then mayor of Xiaya Town, hoping that he could find a way to curb the spread of the plague. However, it was a pity that Fan Gaolei's proposal did not attract any attention. This was enough to destroy Xiaya. The plague in the town was treated as a common infectious disease. Several doctors came to see it but nothing happened. The anxious Fan Gaolei refused to give up and went to Roland City again, wanting to report the situation in Xiaya Town to the city lord. But at that time, Fan Gaolei was just a militia leader, so how could he be qualified to meet the Lord of Roland City? He didn't even have a chance to step through the gate of the City Lord's Mansion before he was kicked out by a group of guards...

Then, tragedy happened.

The plague spread at a terrifying speed, taking away the lives of thousands of people in less than a week. The entire Xiaya Town was shrouded in fear and despair, and everyone wanted to escape from this place. Cursed land, among these people, there are both healthy survivors and unfortunate ones who have been infected by the plague...

The desire to survive is so strong that no one is willing to imagine what kind of disaster these unfortunate people who have been infected with the plague will bring to Roland City if they escape. On the morning of the seventh day of the plague outbreak, a large-scale The escape began, but what was waiting for them was the army from Roland City...

Thousands of people infected with the plague were massacred overnight. Most of the residents who were lucky enough to escape were thrown into prison. What awaits them will be endless isolation and observation until they are determined not to be infected with the plague. , to have a chance to be released from that cold cell.

Fan Gaolei and his militiamen were undoubtedly one of the few survivors in this disaster, because Fan Gaolei reminded them in time that they were not infected by the plague, and later took advantage of the chaos to luckily escape from Xiaya. town.

And then. A group of thieves named Xiaya. That's how it was born.

The original lair of the Char Thieves Group. Located in the Star-Moon Forest in the north of Doland. over there. They started from a force of dozens of people. It developed into one of the top ten thieves groups in Qingfeng Plain. Under the leadership of Fan Gaoleidi. The strength of Xia's thieves group is getting stronger day by day. Here we are today. They can even compete with some regular armies. Even scarier. Under the instruction of Fan Gaoleidi. The Char Thieves Group has been committed to infiltration and lurking. Now their influence has extended to every corner of Qingfeng Plain. Up to the major city lords' mansions. Down to every adventure guild. Almost any corner. Traces of the active members of the Char Thieves Group can be found. So much so that even the Lord of Roland City, who had always regarded the Char Thieves as a thorn in his side. Nor can we use powerful troops to uproot them...

"This Fan Gaolei is quite a talent..." When Lin Li heard this. I couldn't help but admire this bandit leader. In just twenty years. From dozens of people to small thieves. A group of thieves spread to thousands of people. A wanted criminal from where he is being hunted. Become a robber who collects protection fees. This is not something that ordinary people can do.

"What about them now? Is their home base still in the Star-Moon Forest?"

"No..." Duke shook his head: "Since ten years ago, after they wiped out the largest bandit group in the Dragon Mountains, they have moved their base there. Magician Feyre. You need a map of the Dragon Mountains. ?"

"How do you know I need a map of the Dragon Mountains?" Lin Li glanced at Duke. There was a hint of foxiness in his eyes. Duke today. The more I look at it, the more abnormal it becomes. I just told a story so vividly. It's suspicious enough. Now he has actually prepared a map for himself without any foresight. When did Duke become so observant? If he really has such vision. That day in the mission hall. Then he wouldn’t be stupid enough to attack in front of Novel…

"I...I guessed." Duke glanced at Lin Li carefully. In order to appear calmer, he even tried to squeeze out a smile on his face. Unfortunately, his trembling voice was completely betrayed him.

"Really..." The smile on Lin Li's face gradually

"It seems that you miss that little trick that can roast you...

"That's not the case, Magician Ferre, you, you, you...listen to my explanation..." Duke subconsciously stepped back, but as soon as he lifted one foot, he suddenly remembered that the person standing in front of him was A true magician, if he wants to kill himself, it will be useless even if he can retreat outside Doland City.

"Okay, I'll give you a chance to explain."

"These...these were actually told to me by Mr. Basel from the Doland Library..."

"Mr. Basel from the Doland Library?" Lin Li frowned subconsciously. He knew the place of the Doland Library.

Because the Supreme Council has not established a magic guild in the Qingfeng Plain, most of the time the magicians in the Qingfeng Plain choose to discuss issues in the library. Over time, the libraries in major cities have become magic guilds. The place where masters hang out most often, Doland is no exception. In fact, Lin Li has always paid close attention to this place, because it probably represents the highest level of magic in Doland.

However, the name Basel is quite unfamiliar.

Before coming to Qingfeng Plain, Lin Li had made a lot of preparations, such as checking information and asking acquaintances. He had been increasing his understanding of Qingfeng Plain through various channels, but no matter it was No channel has ever mentioned a person named Basel.

"Yes, Mr. Basel is the administrator of Doland's library. He was once a friend of my father, so he has been taking good care of me over the years. After I left the Adventure Guild that day, I went to visit Doland's library. I would like to ask Mr. Basel’s opinion on this matter..."

"Then Mr. Basel told you this story?"

"Yes, Magician Feyre..." Duke nodded and took out another roll of parchment from his pocket: "By the way, there is also this map, which Mr. Basel also gave to me. He said You should be able to use it..."

"Really, that's really troublesome for Mr. Basel. Otherwise, Duke, please help me ask when Mr. Basel is free. I'll treat him to a meal and thank him in person."

"OK……"

After beating Duke away, Lin Li kept himself locked in the room and carefully studied the map drawn on the parchment. Judging from the fresh ink marks on it, it was obvious that the map was only drawn in the past day or two. Yes, it is even possible that Mr. Basel started to draw it after Duke came to visit him. However, the routes on the map are quite clear, and every place is marked in detail. If you just look at these, It's really hard to imagine that this map was drawn in a hurry.

Because it is so detailed, traces of every plant and tree in the Dragon Mountain Range can be found on this map, from a forest to a ravine. In Lin Li's view, this is simply an impossible task. , the only reasonable explanation is probably that Mr. Basel already knew everything about the Dragon Mountains a long time ago, otherwise he would never have been able to burn the novel in such a short period of time. Draw such a detailed map.

If that were the case, things would be interesting...

A library administrator knows the lair of the Char Thieves Group very well. If anyone says there is no story, even a fool will not believe it.

"It seems I really have to eat this meal..." Lin Li smiled, rolled up the map and put it back in his pocket.

Duke's movements are quite fast, UU read www.uukanshu． net It was just two hours later when he brought back a reply from Basel.

"Mr. Basel said that there is no need to eat, but if Magician Ferre has time, you can go to the Doland Library to find him."

"Haha, it seems that Mr. Basel can't wait any longer..." Lin Li smiled secretly in his heart, letting Duke lead the way, and took Novel to the Doland Library.

The library is located near the city lord's palace. This is the place with the best environment in the entire Doland. The surrounding streets are spacious and clean. A marble-paved circular square is facing the library door, with clear fountains and flying white water. Doves add a bit of a holy atmosphere to this treasure house of knowledge. Magicians in robes come and go in the square. Most of them hold thick books in their hands. Judging from the high elf text on the cover, these What is recorded in the book should be some relatively advanced spells.

The three of them crossed the circular square and stood outside the library door. Before they could explain their purpose, a guard greeted them with a respectful expression.

"Hello, dear Mr. Magician, Mr. Basel would like to invite you in. He is waiting for you in the reception room on the second floor of the library."
