Lord of the Silver Crow

Chapter 123 Help!

When Yago returned to the mansion in the suburbs of Fast, Elsa was sitting in the courtyard, sitting on a silver-gray seat, holding a delicate coaster in her left hand, sipping it, as if thinking about something .

At this time, she suddenly raised her head and looked at the gate of the courtyard. When Yago opened the gate of the courtyard and appeared in her field of vision, she asked aloud:

"Dio—"

After habitually skimming the middle syllable, Elsa corrected her pronunciation:

"Diago, why are you back?"

"Even if it's a job, you can't stay on for seven days, can you? Good afternoon, Fankers."

Yago responded with a smile, turned his head and greeted the old Fanks who walked out from the right side of the house with a gardener's shovel.

"Welcome back, young master." The vicissitudes of life and mellow voice came out from the old Fanks.

"I hope there are no small animals in the garden to disturb your work."

"Yes, luckily, sir, there were no rats or worms."

After the three of them chatted a few slang words, old Fanks bowed and backed away.

Yago also entered the mansion one after another with Elsa who stood up.

After entering the door, he took off his hat, looked around the house, and asked Elsa in a low voice:

"In the end what happened?"

Elsa rubbed her temples, shook her head tiredly and said:

"Someone sneaked into the house and searched everywhere, as if they were looking for something."

At this moment, suddenly, a childish voice sounded not far from him:

"He has been looking for it in the study for a long time."

With a sudden heartbeat, Yago turned his head and looked for the source of the sound. Sure enough, Little Betty was standing on his left holding a book of fairy tales.

deadpan.

Although I have seen it many times, it is still difficult for him to get used to it.

Squatting down, Yago looked at her at the same level, and repeated a sentence:

"study?"

"." Betty nodded without any expression on her small face.

Yago turned his head and glanced at Elsa.

"On Thursday, when I was returning home, Extraordinary people also approached the carriage."

Elsa took the call, and said in a clear voice:

"At first, I thought I met an Extraordinary by chance, but the other party followed the carriage all the time."

"Although there was no fighting in the end, Betty told me the news after returning home."

"I think they should work together"

As soon as this sentence came out, Yago realized that the situation might not be right:

"Organized Extraordinary?"

What secret organization is targeting the Fast family?

Or is it the Church of the Righteous God?

But, the bad thing is that he can't tell the Thorn Tree about the matter, he can only rely on the Fast family to investigate, and if there is danger, he can only rely on them to deal with it.

No matter what, we can only investigate the study first, and determine the purpose of the infiltrator first.

While talking, the three of Yago entered the house, and Old Fanx closed the door calmly, as if this matter was normal.

Holding the gas lamp, the three of them entered the dark study room because the curtains were drawn.

After seeing old Fanks standing guard in front of the corridor, Yago, under the guidance of little Betty, flipped through the opened books one by one.

However, until an hour later, the three did not find any useful clues.

"He came to the study, what information should he be looking for, what information is only our Fast family, or is it relatively easy to obtain through our Fast family?"

"He should be looking for books related to mysterious side knowledge?"

Elsa spoke out, explaining her opinion with normal logic:

"If it's those books, in order to avoid being discovered, I threw them into the warehouse and have never touched them."

"If the purpose is books, the odds are high."

Yago also nodded. This speculation is very reasonable, as long as the opponent's target is really a book.

According to Little Betty's description, that person flipped through the books very quickly. If he didn't have any special abilities, then it was obviously impossible to find effective information with this kind of quantum fluctuation speed reading.

Looking for something that isn't a book?

If it's not a book, then it should be a small thing that can be clipped in a book.

Or there is a way to quickly identify whether it is a target.

special patterns? special mark? Special text?

After stuffing a copy of "Hwidman's Travels" into the old bookshelf, Yago, who was overwhelmed with many conjectures, sighed and decided to use his skills to find the answer.

Library use?

scouting?

inspiration?

Needless to say, the first one is completely useless, and the second one doesn't have much hope.

Only with inspiration.

Although the number of inspiration is only 20, it is enough for human beings.

If you think about it a little, you can understand that the limit inspiration of human beings is only 20, so non-human beings should exceed 20.

Even if it is very likely that the number 20 will not be enough later, in general, this 20 represents 100%.

When in doubt, roll for inspiration.

Immediately, words appeared on the page in Yago's mind.

[Inspiration Check = 8]

[Inspiration Check = 10/20]

[Diago and others tried their best to search for clues following the infiltrator's trajectory, but they did not find any special content in the books on the bookshelves. However, Diago suddenly noticed that among these old bookshelves, The stacks of books are lower than what each shelf can hold. 】

[Among these bookshelves, it seems that the books that should be placed are larger and taller. 】

[Moreover, Diego noticed that there are some strange and complicated lines on the bookshelf. 】

Pat——

As the cover of the pocket watch engraved with silver splendor is opened, the numbers on the small dial come into view.

After habitually preparing the gambler's fallacy immediately after using the skill, Yago began to think about what this description represented.

A bigger book? Strange texture?

Following the hints from inspiration, Yago found the "strange and complicated texture" mentioned in the description.

The lines are on the inside of the bookshelf, blocked by the books.

The texture is silver, like metal, a little thin, a bit like paint sprayed on by accident, silver paint

Blood?

Yago raised his right hand and looked at his fair skin. Under the skin, silver blood was flowing.

He took down those books one by one, and under the watchful eyes of Little Betty and Elsa, he raised the lantern and carefully examined the lines painted with blood.

texture

It doesn't look like a totem, it doesn't look like a symbol, and it doesn't look like a word.

Word?

A possibility appeared in Yago's mind, and then he opened the subtitles a little nervously.

Inside the bookshelf, the silver lines illuminated by the lantern, in front of his eyes, reorganized into simplified Chinese on the illusory subtitles that only he could see:

"Help!"

Help! ?
