"I plan to visit Charles at Ryder's house later. This tarot card, eh?" Wang Yu said calmly. After reading the long string of words that appeared on the communication crystal, he naturally picked it up again. Take out the tarot card and make an observation.

Then Wang Yu expressed his discovery in a questioning tone, "Ciel left something here. Don't tell others about Charles' tarot card for the time being. Charles will also pretend not to know. this matter."

"Is that so? It should be related to their family's magical prophecy ability." Edward nodded without asking too many details.

"Originally, I wanted to go with you to see what's going on with Ciel, but although I don't usually use this identity, it would still be very troublesome if I really went directly to Ryder's house. Although my purpose may have nothing to do with this. It doesn’t matter, some people will still interpret this behavior as an alliance between the Grand Duke and the Ryder family.”

After spreading his hands, Edward said somewhat helplessly that with his status, sometimes it would be troublesome even to visit a friend with status.

The two of them were talking as they waited for the finishing work here. When the technical staff of Night Edge and the action team that arrived later cleaned up the surrounding area, Wang Yu and Edward's work here would be over.

The rest is not within the scope of the two of them's responsibility. It's better to let the people in the college handle it themselves.

However, the person who came earlier than the Academy and the Edge of Night was Aviya, who had left for a while while Wang Yu and Edward were chatting. Aviya came from the side with Wendy, and held Wendy's hand softly. Sound of comfort.

Wendy, a carefree and energetic girl, no longer had the liveliness and exuberance of the past. Tears kept falling down her face, which she wanted to be strong, and her red eyes were slightly swollen.

Her expression was a little dull, but there was a deep sadness hidden inside. The impact she received was a bit too sudden and huge. This dullness was caused by the serious unreality and sense of fragmentation that was still difficult to accept the reality.

It seems that Aviya did not cover up the news of Weber Lanqi's death. Also, this was an unavoidable fact. Whether it was labor pain or something else was just a simple multiple-choice question.

From the perspective of Wendy, a lost relative may be nothing more than a sinner who should have died in a disaster of his own creation.

After the investigation, as well as the thorough investigation and distribution of Weber Lanci's estate, Wendy, as his granddaughter, had to face a lot while embracing the grief of losing her loved one.

Wendy rested her head on Aviya's shoulder, listening to Aviya's soft comfort, her eyes were gloomy, and the tears had almost poured out the sudden sadness, leaving only the smoldering remnants of grief. .

At this time, the girl whom Wendy has always called Aviya's sister may be one of the few or the only one whom Wendy can rely on.

Although he doesn’t know who Wendy’s parents are, Wang Yu has never seen them, and has never heard Aviya mention them. It is Aviya and her teacher Barritt who are seen often staying with Wendy.

Edward opened his mouth, looking at this scene and wanted to say something, but as an outsider in a sense, he could not say any words of comfort. No matter what he said, at this moment, he felt like standing and talking would not hurt his back. A sense of wrongness.

"The person that Teacher Weber wants to try to resurrect is Wendy's father. I'll stay with her now. She needs someone to comfort her. After that, she should be taken care of by the Barit Knight Mentor."

Through the wizard's ability, Aviya's words reached Wang Yu's ears, and she had to accompany this girl who had just lost her loved one.

After touching Wendy's head, Aviya took this girl, who had the same physique as a warrior but was extremely fragile at the moment, away from the ruins of the battlefield.

Watching the two people leaving, Edward sighed. The helplessness and unwillingness in his heart could not be concealed. Having experienced some things, what he gained was not gradual numbness and adaptation, but a deeper and deeper understanding. Difficult to calm down.

Wang Yu didn't try to say anything to comfort him during the whole process. He knew his ability to persuade people and his speaking ability was limited. Trying to say something at this moment was just adding fuel to the fire and had no effect.

Aviya, on the other hand, has gone from being the one who needed guidance from a stupid guy like him to now being able to provide that support to another frustrated person. I hope Wendy can also move on from this matter quickly. Come out.

"Mr. Wang Yu! You are here, Dean Westin is looking for you."

Just as he was thinking about something, he heard the respectful calls from members of the Night Blade team, "The dean is here to see me? What's the matter..."

Wang Yu, who didn't know why the dean came to see him, stood up. The status of the dean of the college was similar to that of Xiuge Yin and others in the royal city. Even though he didn't know who he was, he was the same as when he met the king. Formulaic respect still has to be given.

After a brief fluctuation of magic power, a young-looking man wearing a robe appeared not far from Wang Yu. His clothes were actually very close to the style of ordinary residents of the royal city, and the robe was not that bloated and functional tradition. The kind of robes worn by mages, but tailored to be easy to put on and take off.

His face is very young, and he looks quite ordinary, but the most conspicuous thing is his pair of slender ears, elf? No wonder he looks and sounds so young...

Before Wang Yu could salute the dean, who had a much higher status than him, Westin Stevenson, who used space magic to move to Wang Yu, leaned down very respectfully and gave Wang Yu a very solemn salute. .

"Your Excellency Wang Yu, you are the lifesaver of the college. On behalf of the entire college, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you."

"Uh, you're welcome. This is Night Blade's responsibility."

He didn't expect that the dean would come to express his gratitude to him in person, and at the same time keep his attitude so low. Wang Yu did not be too polite to the dean, but just characterized this matter as what Night Blade should do. within the matter.

"No matter what, without your entire academy's facilities and the members who remain in the royal city, except for some members who have special preparations and strength, they will all die. And even if these prepared members survive, the entire academy will be affected. Huge damage.”

"At this moment, during the war, with a shortage of materials and a lack of manpower, it is basically impossible to repair the college. The entire college will exist in name only for a long time."

"So, Your Excellency Wang Yu, there is no doubt that you are the savior of the college. The word "thank you" alone cannot fully express my respect for you."

Dean Westin once again gave Wang Yu a sincere salute, which left Wang Yu, who had originally planned to go through a formal process of showing respect, with nothing to do.

"To express my personal gratitude to you, please accept this gift." Westin said, taking it out of the pocket of his robe and handing a magic crystal card to Wang Yu.

Wang Yu was not polite and took the magic crystal card into his hand. After confirming the amount inside with his mental power, he still had to sigh. Is this the world of rich people?

Five thousand gold coins, although it may not be a fraction compared to the value of the entire academy, but it is very outrageous to be able to take out this amount casually. The two thousand gold coins given to Aviya to buy alchemy supplies are still there. Only less than half of it is used.

"This reward is definitely not enough to express my gratitude for your kindness. This is just my personal gift to you. Regarding the academy, I have thought about it for a while. The academy is still in a state of preparation for war, and many things have been transferred to the front line. , and I can’t give it to you.”

"So after discussing with those old guys, I still plan to give you something that is still precious in the academy as a reward for saving the academy."

"You should already know that the college's big library is about to close. This thing is not actually the property of the college. It is just that the college is qualified to enter. This time, there are ten places left for students. In fact, the total number of places should be ten. one."

"Originally, this quota was intended for professors who have made outstanding contributions to the college. However, after discussion by the decision-making group, it was unanimously agreed that this quota should be reserved for you who saved the college."

"Although this quota is consistent with the most special one among the ten quotas reserved for students, and both can take out a physical object from the big library, we still believe that your friendship should be more precious than this quota. I hope you can accept this thank you."

"Thank you." What else could Wang Yu say, but at this point, the dean had lowered his attitude so low that Wang Yu could not say anything else but accept it.

I have to say that the principal of this college is very good at being a person. Wang Yu has made such a great contribution and has given him the most reciprocal thanks. These eleven places are very important for treating knowledge as one of the most precious things in life. For the scholars, it is definitely more than just a quota.

If such a spot can be released, no matter who it is, they can feel the sincerity of the college and feel comfortable talking to them.

"I'm glad that you can accept our thanks to you. It seems that you still have something to be busy with, and the college also has some things to deal with, so I won't interrupt you for now."

"We will send someone to inform you of the details as soon as possible regarding the final opening of the library. Thank you again for your help. Goodbye."

Finally, he bowed to Wang Yu again, and Westin Stevenson's figure disappeared into the slight fluctuations of the space.

"It's very good. I have the qualifications of a big library and can take out a real object. I'm jealous." There was no special cover-up in the conversation between Wang Yu and Westin. Edward also watched the whole process with a joking expression. I would like to congratulate Wang Yu on his achievement.

"What exactly is the Big Library? Edward, you seem to know?" Wang Yu asked Edward a question. He had always wanted to know what the Big Library was. Judging from Edward's tone, he should know it.

"Huh? Wang Yu, didn't you get the knight's secret technique from the big library?" Edward's somewhat doubtful answer completely solved Wang Yu's doubts.

No wonder I had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu when I heard the name Big Library before. The place where I obtained the secret method of the Bloody Storm Knight was an extremely large and almost endless library. That was the Big Library...

It has to be said that the Bloody Storm Knight Secret Technique obtained from there was of great help to Wang Yu. This Knight Secret Technique, which seemed very ordinary to the librarian named Samuel, has given Wang Yu a lot of help since he learned it. Wang Yu was a huge help.

The same thing happened in this incident. If it weren't for the doppelganger formed by the ripples of the Bloody Storm Knight's secret method, he would most likely die in the endless tide of creatures.

Moreover, during Wang Yu's long-term and non-stop operation, this secret method of knighthood has also been independently tried to be transformed, optimized, and changed to be closer to his body and more suitable for Wang Yu's form. This secret method is changing from A secret secret skill transformed into Wang Yu's own unique power.

"Last time, there were restrictions on knight secrets, but Wang Yu, if you enter this time, there should be no restrictions. That is to say, if your goal is clear enough or you are lucky enough, you should be able to find something that will be of sufficient help to you. It’s definitely a rare opportunity.”

Edward was really happy for Wang Yu's harvest this time. Seeing the piles of biological corpses, it was hard for him to imagine what kind of fierce battle Wang Yu had to endure to calm down this disaster. The lives in the college that Wang Yu saved It also made him feel sincere admiration. In any case, Wang Yu deserved these rewards.

"But I don't know what the opportunity to take out the physical objects is. There seems to be no such option when opening the big library in the past. But since Dean Westin has said it, it is definitely a benefit." I thought. , Edward added something he didn't know.

"Not bad, a good thing." Wang Yu smiled. This is indeed a good gain. Later, we can discuss with Aviya what kind of knowledge is more suitable for Wang Yu now, or the way to go home? Will there be any in there...



"The biological corpses have basically been processed, and the scavengers have arrived. The incident has been confirmed to be over. The scavengers and the logistics team will take over the follow-up processing. Thank you for your contribution, Mr. Wang Yu, and salute you."

The top Night Blade technician who was responsible for cracking the barrier informed Wang Yu of the end of the incident after a while and expressed his respect. He respected Wang Yu even more after the crack failed.

In fact, he has done very well. His cracking speed is even better under pressure, and he specializes in the art. He is a genius like Aviya. In terms of formation, he can't even catch up with others.

It was just that the plan she came up with after being influenced by Wang Yu's character was too random and too powerful, so she circumvented all the difficulties and forcibly defeated the formation together.

"Then I'll evacuate. Thank you for your hard work." Wang Yu gave him a gift in return. Wang Yu would always have a good impression of members of the Night Blade who were fighting on the front line of the crisis.

"Goodbye, leave the rest to us." In return, the technician watched Wang Yu leave.



A carriage rented from the roadside carried Wang Yu through the streets of the city. Among the bustling crowd, some agile and quick figures were following the carriage, which was pulled by an ordinary horse with no pedigree. carriage.

The carriage was not very fast, so it was not difficult for these powerful trackers to catch up. They were very concerned about the direction Wang Yu was moving in. It was the direction of the Ryder family's industry.

What did this newcomer who had just made outstanding contributions to the Night Blade Special Operations Group go to one of the most respected families of His Highness the King to do? Although he knew that Charles Ryder was also a member of the Night Blade Special Operations Group. members, but an ordinary visit is simply not possible.

Family members are in the Night Blade special operations team, which increases the possibility of an alliance between the Ryder family, a behemoth family in itself, and the Night Blade, an organization that has always been isolated from major forces. This makes How could other forces and other families not care.

Wang Yu's sixth sense and ripples have already noticed them, but he is very weak now and has no energy to care about it, and no matter what they think, this is just an "ordinary" visit after all.

The carriage stopped some distance away from the Ryder family's property. The carriage driver, who was just an ordinary resident, did not dare to drive his carriage into the territory of the nobles. After paying the fare, Wang Yu made the rest of the journey by himself. Just go.

It is much more convenient than expected. The Ryder family's defense is not as strict as that of other nobles. There are not many soldiers, but it does not have that solemn feeling, and has more of a prosperous temperament.

Anyway, Wang Yu, a guy who doesn't have much knowledge and experience related to rich people, has seen a real life of rich people in Wangcheng.

The huge luxurious mansion is full of family shops selling high-end goods, and there are all kinds of man-made landscapes. Even the price of the servants' clothes that pass by is probably beyond the reach of ordinary residents. As long as they are the guards of the family, Even the most ordinary guards patrolling the streets are all wearing magic pattern armor.

Wang Yu's visit to Charles was quite simple. He informed him of his identity and purpose. An old man who didn't look like a housekeeper glanced at him and asked him to go to the Ryder family's main house to find Charles. Seeing Charles his father.

After being led by a maid for a long time in the ridiculously large mansion that was almost like a maze, we finally arrived at the door of Charles's room. By this time, it was already dark.

"Dong dong dong." After the maid resigned, Wang Yu knocked on the door.

"Gah..." The old wooden door, which was somewhat incompatible with the luxury of the house, made a soft noise and opened, revealing Charles's sneaky head.

"The professor and the captain didn't come. I was afraid they would beat me." Charles poked his head outside and carefully observed whether Wang Yu had brought Siege and Xiugeyin. It seemed that he was concerned about his loss of contact. Things are also very guilty.

"No." Wang Yu raised his eyebrows and took something out of his pocket.

"Okay, come in quickly." Charles confirmed that no one was following him and called Wang Yu to come in quickly.

"Peng!" The door was closed tightly. Looking at Charles's nervous look, Wang Yu showed a somewhat funny expression and handed what he took out to Charles.

"What the hell?" Charles looked at the cup of black liquid that Wang Yu handed him strangely.

"Look at how cowardly you are. Coke is a product from my hometown. It tastes very good. Just drink it and you will be relieved." Wang Yu said with a smile.

"Okay!" Charles didn't hesitate, took it and drank it in one gulp.

"Pfft!" Charles, who drank the cup of black liquid in one gulp, spurted it out. Wang Yu used the wizard's invisible power to keep the liquid in the air without spilling anywhere.

"What the hell, this is for people to drink, yuck!" Sticking out his tongue, Charles looked in pain. It seemed that "Coke" really made him uncomfortable.

"Hmm... I somewhat understand why Gawain was tortured by coke. This thing is not that easy to get, and this is the first time I have tried to use the void to reproduce. However, this also shows that the void cannot read my memory, it can only read me. The description of mental power is interesting..." Wang Yu thought about it in his mind. It seems that this first attempt at cola was not very successful.

"Okay, this guy who is not Ciel but is using Ciel's body? Talk to me about the news you gave me." Wang Yu looked up at the surprised "Ciel" and put away his smile.

The real Charles, even if he knows that Wang Yu has no interest in cheating others, has never cheated him, he will still test Wang Yu again and again because of his inexplicable vigilance that he has cheated others, so anyone may cheat him. This pussy would never do anything you give him and just do it in one go.
