June is the hottest month in the Loen Kingdom.
Gentlemen who pay attention to dignity need to prepare a silk scarf to keep their face clean from time to time, even if they put on the lightest formal jacket;
Ladies should also weigh the balance between beauty and comfort, reduce the number of petticoats, and use bustles to maintain a decent appearance.
All university classes have ended.
This means that there is no upfront help from a mentor.
Students need to work hard on their own, search for information, improve their topics, and prepare for their graduation defense.
The topic Valeera chose was rather tricky, so it was not difficult to prepare——
"On the Impact of the "Steam Wave" on the World"
Of course, in the eyes of her tutor and classmates, she chose a very difficult topic.
Klein was a little regretful.
To be on the safe side, he chose a relatively simple topic——
"From the Twenty Years' War to the War of White Roses"
In the Fifth Age, the Black Iron Age, from 621 to 624, the Twenty Years' War broke out between the Kingdom of Loen and the Feysac Empire. The Kingdom of Loen was defeated and ceded Sonia Island to the Feysac Empire.
The Kingdom of Loen, which suffered many years of humiliation due to the failure of the Twenty Years' War, made various reforms and cultivated heroes one after another. In the subsequent White Rose War, it successfully defeated the Intis Empire.
】
This is an inspiring era, a reversal from defeat to victory, and almost every Loen person has some understanding of it.
The Kingdom of Loen has never lacked various analyzes and research on this period of history, which greatly facilitated Klein's completion of his graduation project.
But he still felt sorry.
If...if Welch could have obtained the Quaternary Notes earlier, he might have chosen a different topic.
Klein, who is determined to break through the fog and restore history, is not very interested in the "First Three Ages" which are more mythical and legendary, but he is interested in the "Age of the Gods", which is full of fog and lacks historical research. The fourth century is full of desire for exploration.
If he had chosen a topic related to the Fourth Age, he could now go to Welch to help interpret the notebook.
Now, he can only suppress his curiosity, hardly leaving home, and conscientiously perfect his project.
Valeela seemed to be preparing for the subject as carefully as he did.
Therefore, during the day after both Melissa and Benson went out, the house at No. 6 Daffodil Street would almost become their world if it weren't for the big dog Harpy.
Klein didn't know that Valeela was not actually preparing a topic.
She hoped to use this method to avoid tracing as much as possible and avoid possible accidents and coincidences.

Saturday, June 2nd.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Abby went to the Ketra Law Firm in the Jowood District to find out about the situation from Figero.
She didn't expect that things went smoother than she thought.
She easily learned a lot of information:
Qili has three subordinates in total.
The earliest one among them is currently the "instigator" of Sequence 8. His apparent identity is that of a well-known bounty hunter who rarely appears recently.
The other two were recruited at similar times, but one is currently only an "Assassin" at Sequence 9, while the other has been promoted to a "Witch" at Sequence 7.
After getting the relevant information about the three people, Abby made a general investigation and only got very little information.
This month, the "instigator" who was apparently a bounty hunter made a brief appearance. The specific location was in the "Brave Bar" on Iron Gate Street in the Bridge District.
As for the "witch", except for one appearance at Phagoro's place, there was no news after that.
Abby decided to go to Tingen for further investigation.
As for the follow-up matters on Backlund's side, she arranged them for one of her "witches" through a "mirror call."
…
Sunday, June 3rd.
Sirius, who was over fifty years old and had thin brown hair, took a carriage to the Deville Library in Jinwutong District.
Passing the library card to the administrators sitting behind the long counter, he asked:
"Do you have any documents related to the main peak of Honakis?"
By interpreting the notes of the Antigonus family, he learned that this family, which was once quite prominent in the Fourth Age, originated from the main peak of Honakis.
Although this family has declined to the point of disappearing, they may leave enough treasure on the main peak of Honakis to revive the family.
"Please wait a moment while I look for you."
Libraries in this world are still managed in ancient ways.
One of the administrators took Sirius's library card. After checking that it was correct, he turned to face the drawers on the wall behind the long platform, opened the one corresponding to the initials of "Honakis", and then followed a certain pattern. I pulled out several cards filled with words.
After reading it carefully, he shook his head and said:
"Sorry, sir, there are no books directly related to the main peak of Honakis."
Sirius looked disappointed, stretched out his hand to get his library card back, and was about to leave.
At this time, a slightly frivolous and casual voice sounded, "Old gentleman, since you are looking for documents related to the main peak of Honakis, why don't you look at journals such as "New Archeology" and "Archaeology Review" ?”
"There is a ruins called 'Land of Night' on the main peak of that mountain range. I believe there must be relevant archaeological papers published in these journals."
Sirius and the administrator turned around and saw that the person speaking was a young man with an ordinary face, black hair, brown hair, a full forehead, round glasses, and a smile at the corner of his mouth.
The smile at the corner of his mouth seemed to contain a hint of sarcasm.
"Thanks."
After Sirius thanked him, he turned to the administrator and said, "Please help me find the journals he mentioned."
When the administrator turned around to look for cards again, Sirius looked back at the young man who had made the suggestion before and said:
"Thank you again for your help, young man."
"I'm just curious, are you familiar with that mountain range?"
"It's okay." The young man waved his hand indifferently, "I just happened to go there for an inspection some time ago."
When Sirius heard this, he thought it was wonderful.
He could just have a few more chats with this young man and get some specific information about the main peak of Honakis.
"Sir, the journals you are looking for are at these locations." The administrator copied the locations on the note and handed it to Sirius.
Sirius, who took the note, felt something in his heart and said with a smile:
"Young man, can you do me a favor and accompany me to look for these journals? By the way, my name is Sirius, what's yours?"
"Of course," the dark-haired young man's smile remained unchanged, "Just call me Lanerwus."
The two of them had their own thoughts, talking and laughing as they walked to the bookshelf on the side.
