"By the way, we also need to be careful about the statues on the walls on both sides. Those may be alive."

Shen Qiu reminded in a low voice.

"Mmm Good."

Yun Xiaoxi responded quickly.

More than an hour passed quickly, and Shen Qiu and Yun Xiaoxi were still wandering around the castle.

During this period, they ran into several groups of patrolling armored soldiers, but these soldiers ignored Shen Qiu and the others, just like the air.

In addition, Shen Qiu and the others also bumped into some standing armored guards in the main corridors and passages of the castle.

But they were almost like wood, completely motionless, and did not stop Shen Qiu and the others. It made Yun Xiaoxi a little confused whether these were monsters or pure armor decorations.

As for the rooms in the castle, Shen Qiu and Yun Xiaoxi also searched a few, but unfortunately they found nothing special.

At this moment, the two of them were strolling around, walking along the corridor to the end, and saw a closed exquisite wooden door. Standing at the door were two armored knights wearing dark red armor and holding spears.

"what to do?"

Yun Xiaoxi asked quickly.

"Take the risk and give it a try."

Shen Qiu took courage and walked over, only to get close.

Click!

The two armored knights immediately raised their spears and crossed them, making a gesture of prohibiting passage.

Yun Xiaoxi was immediately startled, but fortunately she didn't make a sound. She just patted Shen Qiu on the shoulder and signaled him to retreat.

Shen Qiu immediately understood and stepped back.

Immediately, the two armored knights retracted their spears and returned to their original state.

When she was far away from the two armored knights, Yun Xiaoxi lowered her voice and spoke.

"You are not allowed to pass here, and the two monsters guarding you don't seem to be ordinary guards."

"The door behind this door should lead to a more important place. The armored guards we play are not qualified to enter."

Shen Qiu probably guessed it.

"Then what should we do? Break in by force?"

Yun Xiaoxi blinked and asked.

"Don't do that yet. Let's take a walk around and touch the entire castle to see if there are some places we can't enter."

Shen Qiu thought for a few seconds and then rejected Yun Xiaoxi's proposal. Once he took action, there would be no turning back.

"Okay, then let's explore other layers."

Yun Xiaoxi couldn't help but nod.

More than half an hour later, Yun Xiaoxi directed Shen Qiu to enter a thick door on the second floor.

Yun Xiaoxi looked around and found no enemies, then she made a sound of surprise.

"Wow!"

"What's wrong?"

Shen Qiu's rather unexpected question.

"We seem to have arrived in a paradise of books."

Yun Xiaoxi said in shock.

At this moment, at a glance, the walls of the oval-shaped room they were in were piled up with books, extending upwards.

The ground under their feet and the top are specially treated, a bit like a glossy mirror.

Books are reflected up and down, giving people an extremely shocking illusion, as if this library is endless.

"Huh? Really? Find a corner, let's take off our armor, have a rest, and take a look."

When Shen Qiujing and Yun Xiaoxi said this, they felt itchy.

"OK."

Yun Xiaoxi then directed Shen Qiu to sneak behind a bookshelf.

Shen Qiu immediately took off his helmet and part of his armor, and Yun Xiaoxi jumped off Shen Qiu.

"Huh~"

Shen Qiu breathed a long sigh of relief. Dragging such a heavy armor and carrying Yun Xiaoxi for a long time was very tiring.

However, when Shen Qiu inadvertently glanced at the library in front of him, he was completely shocked.

If the library of the Cathedral of Ferencius is spectacular, then the library in this castle is a shock to the senses and the soul.

"There are so many books. If you move these back, they should be very valuable, right?"

Yun Xiaoxi asked Shen Qiu excitedly.

"The value of books has depreciated. Except for specific books and books about mechanical civilization, which may still be worth some money, books from other worlds can basically be ignored."

Shen Qiu gradually calmed down and explained to Yun Xiaoxi.

"Ah, what a pity there are so many books."

Yun Xiaoxi also had a look of pity when she heard this.

"It's nothing to regret. We can take a few books and read them during our break."

Shen Qiu took out a book nearby and opened it.

"You can understand?"

Yun Xiaoxi looked at Shen Qiu with admiration.

"I can't understand, but I brought a translator."

Shen Qiu scanned the book with his bracelet and translated it. Although the translated words were a bit choppy, he could barely understand it.

"Let me take a look."

Yun Xiaoxi also poked her little head over curiously.

On the other side, figures one after another shuttled through the Qianyin Kingdom, quickly approaching a manor on the second floor.

This manor occupies a large enough area and has many withered trees as cover, making it a suitable base.

Inside the manor, Shiyao, Baicatu and others were standing there.

At this time, their number had increased from more than 100 people to more than 500 people.

Even Shiyao's side has regrouped around 20 scattered people.

However, everyone gathered here looked very solemn, and few of them smiled and chatted playfully.

"Hey, I read that right, the cuties from the Gray Alliance and the Red Alliance are here too!"

Suddenly a joking voice sounded from the dead tree on the right side of the crowd.

Shi Yao and others were suddenly startled and turned their heads to look over. Someone was approaching, but they didn't notice it at all.

At a glance, I saw six figures in black cloaks standing on the branches of a mature tree on the right.

"Kadis, do you have any objections?"

Admiral Dimlock turned to the captain of the six and said.

"When will our Blue League need to cooperate with these guys?"

On the side, Baikatu was even more offended. He was in a bad mood himself, and as a result, he was ridiculed and looked down upon. He immediately replied angrily.

"Who are you talking about?"

Kedis' figure flashed and he appeared in front of Baicatu in an instant. His speed was so fast that Shiyao, Baicatu and others could not see clearly, as if he had appeared out of thin air.

Baikatu's expression suddenly changed, as if he was being targeted by a terrifying beast, and he instinctively felt extremely dangerous.

At this time, the remaining five members of Caddis also jumped down from the tree very quickly and appeared behind Caddis in the blink of an eye.

"I'm talking about you, don't you agree?"

Caddis replied proudly.

"Kedis, a large number of our personnel have been captured. We have to attack Qianyin Castle and are seriously short of manpower. Now is the time to work together! Don't make things messy. Any conflicts will be discussed later."

Mondry stood in front of the six Caddis and warned.

"I refuse. I have no interest in cooperating with others."

Caddis didn't mean to give any face at all. After speaking, he turned around and left with his subordinates.

At this time, Admiral Dimlock said hoarsely.

"Double remuneration. If you refuse, I will issue a yellow warning letter to your club on behalf of the Blue League government."
