Chapter 258 Princess

Su Lun paid attention to the situation around him. There were not many people around, so as long as he didn't make too much noise, he wouldn't arouse suspicion.

He asked Renee next to him: "Have you found the princess's location?"

There are guards outside the library for the princess. The princess should be in this library. Only after finding the princess can you have a chance to get the news of the Eye Demon.

Renee whispered: "The princess is in the study upstairs. She is accompanied by several knights and it is difficult to get close to her."

She came earlier than Su Lun. She just disguised herself as a staff member of the library and searched the library, and finally found the princess.

When she really wanted to continue, a woman in gorgeous clothes was approaching not far away, followed by several knights in armor.

"The princess is over there!"

Reni was startled and immediately pretended to be a staff member to organize books and wipe the bookshelf, but because of the large amplitude of the movement, she became very conspicuous.

Su Lun looked at her movements and didn't know what to say. No matter how she covered it up, those sharp-eyed people had already discovered this place, and it was useless to cover it up.

When the princess passed by, Su Lun walked forward directly, which scared Renee behind her. She didn't expect Su Lun to be so bold.

The princess and several knights stopped when they saw someone blocking them. They had never seen Su Lun and didn't know why Su Lun dared to stop them.

Anyone with a little vision could see that they were of noble status. Even nobles didn't dare to stop them directly.

Su Lun looked at the princess in front of him and the three knights behind him.

The princess was wearing a gorgeous long dress made of soft gauze, with many glittering gold and silver ornaments on the long dress, and a metal flower crown inlaid with various gems on her head, as if she was a fairy who was not stained by the world.

It's just a pity that the princess had a cold face, no expression on her beautiful face, and her eyes were unusually calm, like an old man who had lost hope in the world.

The three knights behind him looked serious. They didn't wear helmets, but the armor and long swords on their bodies allowed them to enter the battle at any time.

Moreover, these knights were bloodline inheritors. Su Lun had seen many bloodline inheritors and could completely distinguish between ordinary people and bloodline inheritors.

The three knights seemed to be protecting the princess, but Su Lun felt something was wrong, because the princess was also a bloodline inheritor. Since the other party was a princess, she must be strong and not to the point of needing protection.

The royal family of any human kingdom has a strong bloodline, otherwise the throne would be easily taken away by others. As the direct descendant of the king, the princess must have inherited the royal bloodline.

Rather than protecting the princess, these three knights were monitoring her. The princess's expression of not wanting to talk to anyone made Su Lun more certain of this.

"Bold! How dare you block the princess's way." One of the knights came up and drew his sword.

Su Lun looked away from the princess after hearing this. He said, "The princess's appearance is too beautiful. I can't help but look at her a few more times."

He found an excuse to cover it up. He originally wanted to ask the princess directly about the eye demon, but with several knights guarding him, he had no chance to communicate with the princess.

"Hmph! You guys can see the princess's appearance. I warn you, Knight Lamb has already made an engagement with the princess. If you do anything disrespectful again, you will lose your head even if you are a noble." The knight said coldly.

If Su Lun did not have the status of a noble, he would have been dragged out and beaten to death by someone.

Su Lun smiled and said, "So that's how it is. I congratulate the princess and the knight in advance."

He didn't need to conflict with these knights.

The knight snorted coldly and put away his sword. He walked out of the library with the remaining two knights and the princess. The princess had not said a word from the beginning to now.

Su Lun frowned and looked at the backs of the people leaving. When they were about to leave, he suddenly shouted loudly: "If the princess needs any help, you can always find me."

The princess paused slightly when she heard this, but soon returned to normal and left the library.

Several knights laughed and ignored him. Instead, other people around kept laughing. These people did not notice the princess's abnormality, but Su Lun's strong perception clearly noticed the princess's actions. This princess did have some unspeakable problems.

After a while, the whole library became unusually quiet, because the princess had left, and the people in the library became even more scarce.

"Huh, I was scared to death just now, you dared to talk to the princess!" Renee patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. If those knights had gotten angry just now, they would be finished.

"Why don't you dare to say it? Does this kingdom also stipulate that the princess cannot communicate with ordinary people?" Su Lun asked, he looked at the direction where the princess left and pondered in his heart.

Maybe the princess has some unspeakable secrets, but he has had little contact with the princess, even if he wants to help, the princess may not believe him.

Renee looked at Su Lun in surprise when she heard it. She didn't know whether Su Lun really didn't know or was pretending.

She said: "The princess suddenly became very irritable a few months ago, and the servants around her and those who accidentally contradicted her were executed, causing many people to dare not approach. You were dancing on the edge of a knife just now, and the princess didn't get angry."

Everyone in the kingdom knew about this, so no one dared to offend the princess. She didn't expect Su Lun to not know about it.

Before Su Lun could find this place, she thought Su Lun had already mastered a lot of information, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Su Lun became curious. What could make a princess with powerful strength silent, and who sent knights to monitor the princess.

He thought for a while and said, "Where did you see the princess? Take me there to see."

Renee tilted her head and took Su Lun to the upper floor of the library.

Although she didn't know why Su Lun went there, she didn't have any place to investigate now. The princess was guarded by knights and couldn't get close at all.

They went up to the second floor of the library. There were historical biographies here, and there was a wooden table in the empty space on the second floor.

Renee pointed to the wooden table and said, "The princess was here before. Those knights followed her closely. I took a look when I passed by and left quickly."

Su Lun looked at the wooden table. There was an old book on the table, titled "Bird in a Cage".

He picked up the book and flipped through it. The book told a story about a princess trapped in a cage in the castle and could never get out.

The story was obviously fictional, but this story might have something to do with the princess just now.

Su Lun thought in his heart and murmured: "Is the princess threatened?"

"What are you talking about?"

Leni was a little confused, but Su Lun did not continue to explain.

Su Lun said: "Let's leave here first."

Although there are not many people in this place, it is not a place where you can communicate casually.

They left the library, because Su Lun had no place to stay, and finally went to Renee's shop.

"Are you really a noble? How come you don't even have a place to live?" Renee asked curiously.

Because Su Lun could easily take out a purple crystal coin, she did not doubt Su Lun's noble identity at all.

"Is it important to be a noble?" Su Lun checked the street behind him after he said that, and no one followed him.

Leni shrugged and said: "Nobles are a group of arrogant and domineering people, completely different from you."

Although she doubted Su Lun's identity, it really didn't matter whether he was a noble or not.

She continued: "You can't live here for free, you have to pay every day, how about one gold coin a day?"

She still remembered making money now, after all, this was a good opportunity.

Su Lun said speechlessly: "You haven't found the Eye Demon yet, you should return the crystal coins to me."

He found that the girl in front of him was more greedy than he thought, but she also provided some useful clues. One purple crystal coin was nothing, so there was no need to chase it back.

And Barton and others he brought should have returned to the territory, otherwise he would not come to Renee to rest.

Renee's face immediately turned into a smile, and she smiled and said: "I will help you find the Eye Demon, so there is no need to pay rent."

She laughed twice and prepared to get away. Compared with one gold coin a day, she cared more about the purple crystal coins she had obtained before.

"By the way, what did you say before that the princess was threatened?" she continued to ask.

Although Su Lun spoke very softly at that time, she still heard something.

Su Lun explained his thoughts again. Although this Renee had no strength, she could provide help in many places.

Renee was immediately stunned after hearing Su Lun's words. The princess was actually threatened. This possibility was still very high, and combined with the princess's recent actions, this possibility was further increased.

She thought for a moment, took out the crystal ball and said, "It's very expensive to investigate information of this level of the princess, but I'll do it for free this time."

Reni chanted a spell, and images immediately began to appear in the crystal ball.

The image first showed the princess, whose daily routine was the same as usual, with no abnormalities.

Reni explained, "This crystal ball can investigate any information, but it can only investigate information that has a physical connection and is real, not vague things."

For this reason, she couldn't find out what happened to the princess, but only where the princess was.

However, the princess's whereabouts were the same as usual, except that a few months ago, there were a few more knights around the princess who were responsible for protecting her safety.

Since there was really no useful information about the princess, Reni set her sights on Knight Commander Lamb.

She used the previous method to investigate Lamb again, and by investigating Lamb's location at different times, she could find Lamb's travel trajectory.

Lamb's movement trajectory was a bit strange, because Lamb had been moving between two points, one of which was the castle of the kingdom. This was not a problem, as many knights usually moved around in the kingdom.

However, Lamb's other activity location was in the wild outside the kingdom's territory, and Lamb went to the wild more often than he stayed in the castle, and he went to the same place every time.

Not only Renee, but Su Lun couldn't think of a reasonable explanation.

Renee said, "The kingdom has no external enemies recently, and there are no attacks from the magic beasts and monsters outside the territory. The knight commander shouldn't be so busy."

The knight commander usually stayed in the castle, and he didn't have to go out to fight at ordinary times. He would only go out when it was particularly dangerous.

"Where is that place he often goes to?" Su Lun asked, looking at the traces shown in the crystal ball.

He was not very familiar with the surrounding environment, and he could only determine Lamb's approximate location.

Renee thought for a while and said, "That should be the magic beast nest outside the kingdom, and there should be many magic beasts in it."

Su Lun nodded when he heard this. He could investigate the places Lamb often went to, and maybe he could get some useful information.

Renee also put away the crystal ball. It was too late to go out for investigation, so he could only rest for a night.

She said to Su Lun: "You can only stay on the first floor. You can sleep anywhere on the first floor, but you must not go to the second floor."

Because she had not helped Su Lun find the Eye Demon yet, she had to let Su Lun stay here temporarily, otherwise she would never let a human stay in her shop overnight.

Renee closed the door of the shop and lit candles in the hall. She used some props to leave a mark at the entrance of the stairs. The mark seemed to prevent others from going up.

She warned Su Lun again, then went up to the second floor and disappeared.

Su Lun sighed when he saw this. He had no interest in this young cat beastman with cat ears, not to mention that the safety of this house was not very good. The stairs were not the only way to go to the second floor. If he wanted to go up, he could just go over the mark left by Renee.

But he didn't need to go up. He found a comfortable chair and sat down with his eyes closed to rest.

Because of the strengthening of his blood, he no longer needed to rest. If it weren't for the fact that it would be more difficult to investigate at night, he could have gone out to investigate directly at night.

Now he had to rest for a night.

...

The next day, Su Lun opened the door and walked out when the sun rose.

Because the noise was too loud, Renee on the second floor was also woken up.

She opened her eyes in a daze and walked down to the first floor in her pajamas, but the situation in front of her made her wake up immediately, because Su Lun had left.

"No way! He went out so early."

Renee was surprised and quickly changed her clothes and chased after Su Lun.

Because she also wanted to help investigate the location of the Eye Demon, if Su Lun went first and she was late, she might not get any useful information because the information had been taken away by Su Lun.

Su Lun walked out of the city at a normal speed, and only when he got outside the city did he speed up and headed to one of the places Lamb often went to.

Because he didn't use the fastest speed, Renee behind him immediately chased after him.

Su Lun didn't expect that Renee could catch up with him. He guessed that Renee used some kind of prop, otherwise it would be impossible for Renee to catch up with him with her ability.
