After a moment of surprise, Su Ge retracted his hand and said to the person next to him:
"After you."
"It seems that you are also very interested in this book."
Su Ge looked at the people around him carefully.
He has gray hair, a face full of wrinkles, and two obvious bags under his eyes, but he looks in good spirits.
The old man was dressed in a formal suit, a white shirt, and a black vest, but he did not wear a bow tie. The years did not bring a heavy sense of twilight to the old man, but instead gave him a touch of maturity.
After a long period of time, the old man had a kind of wisdom and easy-going. Just a simple smile made Su Ge's mood suddenly become peaceful.
While Su Ge looked at the old man, the old man also looked at Su Ge.
"Do you like this book?" the old man asked.
"It's on the book list recommended by a friend, but I haven't read it yet." Su Ge answered honestly.
"What about you first?"
"No, you should go first," Su Ge waved his hand repeatedly, "I can start with those introductory books."
"Do you like the starry sky?" the old man then asked.
Su Ge nodded, "I have started to become interested recently, but I am still at the most basic stage, and I have not even started."
The old man also followed Su Ge's example and nodded, scanned the bookshelf with his eyes, took down two books from two different places, and handed them to Su Ge.
""Us Under the Stars" and "Firefly Mars" are both suitable for beginners to watch."
Su Ge was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect that the other party would do this at all. He quickly accepted it and politely replied: "Thank you for your guidance."
"Well, if you have anything you don't understand, you can ask me. Let's not mention other fields for now. I'm quite confident about the starry sky."
The old man smiled softly, obviously very happy.
In the library, these two people who didn't know each other just talked so simply, and they actually developed a complete tacit understanding and harmony.
Su Ge didn't know why. Maybe it was the easy-going and elegant nature of the old man that made him unable to resist getting close to him. He could feel the aura of a very kind elder in the family from the old man. This was after he came to this world.
, an experience I have never had before.
Just as the two were having a simple exchange, Karen came over following the voice.
"No loud noises are allowed in the library," Kallen said, pointing to the platform outside the corridor on the second floor. "If you want to communicate, you can go over there."
Su Ge was just about to nod when he suddenly realized that Kallen was standing there in shock, her eyes full of surprise and confusion, looking motionlessly in the direction of the old man.
"Mr. Odyssey!" Karen screamed.
This scream scared Su Ge. He didn't expect that Karen's petite body could produce such a loud volume.
Relative? Or someone I know, Odyssey Fant... Su Ge thought for a moment, then widened his eyes and looked at the old man beside him.
Not long ago, he heard this name from Kallen's mouth. If he thought correctly, the old man standing in front of him should be the person to whom Kallen sent the letter, who will be attending the signing ceremony in the near future.
Mr. Odyssey Fant who met.
And the names of the authors of the several books he was holding in his hands also had the same names.
Is it a real person? No way, what a coincidence? But this Mr. Odyssey is more kind than I thought... Su Ge murmured in his heart.
Su Ge didn't think there was anything wrong with the other party's age. He had written dozens of books and was still studying the starry sky. He shouldn't be too young anyway.
However, the kindness and easy-goingness emanating from Odyssey Fant brought him a lot of surprise. He originally thought that Odyssey Fant would be a rigid and dogmatic person.
"Shh." Odysifant raised a finger in front of his lips and smiled softly at Kallen.
Kallen was startled for a moment, and immediately showed a stunned expression. Then, as if she remembered something, she turned around and left quickly. After a while, she ran back with a quill and paper in her hand.
"Can, can you please give me a signature?" Kallen blushed and handed over the quill and paper, "My name is Kallen."
"Of course, sweet little girl." Odyssey Fant looked like he was easy to talk to. He took the pen and paper, padded it with the book in his hand, wrote a cursive signature, and then handed it back to Karen.
Karen felt as if she had found a treasure. She held it in her chest and was so excited. With an excited smile on her face, she ran away in a hurry.
It was so wonderful to unexpectedly meet her idol... Su Ge could understand Kallen's excitement. After all, he had chased several talented people when he was in school.
Su Ge shifted his gaze and happened to catch Odysifant's gaze.
The kind and kind eyes made him breathless. He quickly took down a book from the bookshelf to cover up. Su Ge took the book to the reading table nearby and started reading casually.
Odyssey Fant also came to the table next to Su Ge and flipped through it casually.
Although today is Saturday, there are not many people in the library. From Su Ge's glance, there are only twos and threes of people walking through the vast bookshelves. As for the area that Kallen is responsible for, there are only him and Oude Xiufan.
Especially two people.
Sugar felt a little restless at the thought of waiting for Kallen to get off work. After all, he would have to attend Archbishop Oghama's training around three o'clock. Judging from the current situation, he could only make up for the leave afterwards.
Su Ge sighed softly, and he could see Karen's figure through the gap in the bookshelf.
Karen, on the other hand, was constantly looking towards the place where Odyssifant was staying, with a shy look on her face that only a little girl could have.
"It's great to be young."
Su Ge sighed and began to read the books in his hands seriously.
"The Goat's Skull? What's the title of this book?"
Su Ge looked at the book he picked up casually, feeling confused in his heart. He kept flipping through the book in his hands and read it in an extremely perfunctory manner.
Just when he was about to read the entire book, he suddenly found a bookmark sandwiched inside, a thin piece of wood with symbols of unknown meaning drawn on it.
Su Ge naturally touched the bookmark, but the moment his hand touched the bookmark, something unexpected happened.
The originally bright field of vision suddenly seemed to be covered with a thick black cloth. Su Ge felt that his eyes were completely dark, and then the whole world went dark.
In the endless darkness, a human figure with burning flames slowly appeared, slowly approaching Su Ge step by step.
As the flame approached, Su Ge felt a burning sensation in his chest, and a strong pulse began to appear.
He knew this feeling very well. This feeling of expansion, like a balloon exploding, had left a very deep impression on him.
Whether it was in the forest before entering York, or when he touched the multifunctional knife that Ondu brought, or even when he later touched the statue of the demon believer, he had experienced this experience.
But this time it's slightly different.
This time, the flaming human form quickly disappeared, followed by a burst of vague murmurs. Under this murmur with mysterious power, Su Ge could hardly maintain his normal thinking.
He felt as if there was a sharp voice in his mind that was grinning and saying something to him. However, without being able to concentrate, he could only hear fragments of it, and could not form a coherent sentence at all.
Cannot form a complete vocabulary.
It was just such a burst of mysterious babble that defeated Sugar.
He was lying on the table, his whole body twitching, his eyes turned white, and his skin began to turn red.
At the same time, an extremely high amount of heat radiated from Su Ge's body. In just a moment, the tabletop under his arm began to smell burnt, and the air around him began to distort.
of fluctuations.
Just when Su Ge was about to lose his mind, a cold feeling spread in his heart.
Like a bucket of ice water poured on a burning fire, all the visions gradually disappeared.
Su Ge was panting heavily, his face was pale, and he was sweating profusely.
He didn't know what happened, but at the moment he was about to lose consciousness, he seemed to see the stars in the sky.
"Is it okay?"
A gentle voice sounded in my ears.
Su Ge turned his head suddenly and found Odyssey Fant's kind and kind face in front of him. The bags under his eyes were especially obvious.
"I just... just now, it seems..."
Su Ge tried hard to recall what had just happened, but just by simply recalling it, he felt as if there was an iron rod stirring in his brain, sending bursts of throbbing pain.
"It almost got out of control." Odyssey Fant said, "But there is nothing special around, and there is no special aura. What have you done?"
Sugar stared blankly at Odyssifant's face, without answering, looking around.
This little episode that almost cost him his life didn't attract much attention, and Kallen didn't even leave her seat.
Only the slightly burnt tabletop under his arm could prove that what just happened was real.
"I came across this bookmark." Su Ge pointed to the bookmark and said hesitantly, "Did you save me?"
"Just do it casually, don't take it to heart, not to mention you are a child who likes the stars."
Odyssey Fant did not make any big announcements or threats, which made Su Ge feel at ease.
The flame in his heart was his biggest secret. He didn't know if he had just elicited the power of the flame, but judging from Odyssey's reaction, the other party probably didn't discover this secret.
Odyssey briefly looked at Su Ge and found that there was no problem with Su Ge's mental condition, then he turned his attention to the bookmark.
"do not move."
Seeing that Odyssey was about to touch the bookmark, Su Ge quickly issued a reminder.
But what surprised him was that when Odysfant's hand touched the bookmark, nothing strange happened. The bookmark was just like a normal bookmark, and Odyshoifant held it in his hand.
"Strange..." Su Ge didn't quite understand.
Odyssey Fant held the bookmark and looked at it for a moment, then put it back into his pocket. At the same time, he looked at Su Ge with a serious expression and whispered:
"Don't tell anyone about this. It may be a dangerous item. You can't let it stay here, otherwise something terrible may happen."
Su Ge nodded, and then saw Odyssifant tidying up his clothes, picking up his palms and hat, looking like he was ready to leave.
Odyssey Fant came to Su Ge, patted Su Ge on the shoulder and said:
"Because of the autograph session, I will stay in York for a while. My accommodation is Room No. 6 on the second floor of the Morn West Hotel at No. 14 Huangyanbei Street in the Upper Bay District."
"If you encounter something similar again or have any questions, you can go there to find me."
