Evernight God Walk

Chapter 198 The Study Room and Youhe (Seeking Subscription Monthly Pass)
"Pengfei, is he the new bodyguard?"

Seeing Xu Shen come out, several people who were waiting in the hall on the first floor looked over and sized up Xu Shen.

They had already received news that a new personal guard had joined their sixth team, but they didn't expect to look so young.

Han Pengfei nodded, briefly introduced Xu Shen's situation, and then introduced the other four people to Xu Shen. After a few minutes, everyone could call each other by name.

"We have time to learn from each other."

The young man named Lin Xiao said with a smile.

Xu Shen saw that there was no provocation in his eyes, but only strong interest.

Han Pengfei said helplessly: "Xu Shen, don't get me wrong. He is just such a person. He likes to communicate with others when he has nothing to do. If no one is with him, he just runs to play with Xu. There is no malice."

Xu Shen nodded to express his understanding, and said politely to Lin Xiao, "If there is a chance, yes."

"Then you agree." Lin Xiao's eyes lit up.

Seeing his enthusiastic appearance, Xu Shen suddenly felt that he should directly refuse.

"The captain is here."

Another beautiful woman next to her suddenly said.

Her name is Lou Haiyin, and she is another sensory ability user in the team.

The previous Lin Xiao was in the enhancement system, but it belonged to the relatively rare transformation ability in the enhancement system.

Moreover, Xu Shen also noticed that the surname Lin was also one of the surnames of the seven high-ranking clans in the inner city. The Lin Xiao in front of him was probably the same as Han Pengfei.

Footsteps sounded, and Wang Cheng walked in from the outside. Seeing that everyone had assembled, he nodded, glanced at Xu Shen, and said, "Does the armor still fit?"

"fit."

Xu Shen raised his hand, indicating that there was no hindrance.

Wang Cheng nodded slightly, and said: "It's almost time. Today's inspection site is His Highness's study and Youhe. Xu Shen, you just reported today. You and Shen Wanqing went to the study to inspect. The rest went to Youhe, and the queen went to Youhe earlier." It may be a little dangerous to appreciate the lights over there, you should all be smart."

"Yes." Everyone nodded.

Xu Shen looked at another girl in the team. Shen Wanqing looked ordinary, not the stunning type, but upon closer inspection, she felt a sense of tranquil beauty.

With the completion of the team, Han Pengfei patted Xu Shen on the shoulder: "Send a message if you have anything to do. Wan Qing is an old team member. If you don't understand anything, just ask her."

"Yeah." Xu Shen nodded: "You guys have to be careful."

"gone."

Han Pengfei waved his hands gracefully, and then left with several others.

Shen Wanqing also turned around and walked towards another route.

Seeing this, Xu Shen immediately followed in his footsteps.

Along the way through the garden outside, Xu Shen had followed Han Pengfei to familiarize himself with the route before, but he was not too unfamiliar.

Soon, they came to the study where the queen ant reads.

It is said to be a study room, but it is actually a separate building, as huge as a library.

When the guard at the door saw the two of them, he immediately nodded and saluted. Shen Wanqing didn't say anything, but pushed open the door, and came to the study to check around.

Xu Shen immediately saw that there were rows of huge bookshelves in the study room. When he was familiar with the route with Han Pengfei, he only passed by outside and did not enter it. At this moment, Xu Shen felt as if he had entered the sea of ​​books.

Looking around, the bookshelves are full of dense books.

It was extremely quiet inside, and the guards were all outside. Xu Shen looked around and couldn't help asking: "Are these the books His Highness reads? Can she... read them?"

Shen Wanqing didn't turn her head, she just walked ahead and said: "Your Highness likes to read books, and also likes to collect books, whether we can read them or not is not up to us."

Xu Shen also realized that his question was a little impolite, and he asked: "The captain said that His Highness went to the Youhe River to watch the lanterns. Why did it become more dangerous there? Is there someone lying in ambush there to wait for the opportunity to assassinate the queen?"

Shen Wanqing's voice was calm, without indifference, but with a slight sense of alienation, as if she was separated from the crowd. Her eyes were neither happy nor sad, and she said: "Danger does not refer to people, but ruins. There are no people in Termite City. It would be stupid enough to assassinate an ant queen, of course, it’s not that no one has ever assassinated, but they all failed.”

"Ruins?"

Xu was deeply puzzled.

Shen Wanqing glanced back at him, seeing that Xu Shen really didn't seem to understand, she looked away, and continued walking while saying, "The ant queen is the king of the third state, and she releases her own scent when she usually acts. Leave traces, and some people will follow these traces of smell... Did you know that people can smell each other?"

Xu Shen was stunned, "You mean, the smell left by His Highness will attract some Hui, and they want to eat the queen ant?"

Shen Wanqing calmly said, "That's right, although the deep ruins have IQs that don't belong to humans, the pursuit of delicious food will cover up their rationality, making them more impulsive, and their self-control is worse than that of humans. There are many, so even some B-level ruins, the smell left by the queen ant, can't help but be shocked by appetite."

"Then why doesn't the queen ant cover up her smell?" Xu Shen wondered.

Shen Wanqing took a look at Xu Shen, "Will you wipe off your footprints whenever you walk?"

"Uh..." Of course Xu Shen can't, he can do it, but he won't do it because of the trouble, unless the footprints will bring him great danger.

"Those attracted ruins are nothing to the Queen Ant, but they are quite troublesome to us, and they will also damage the Snow Palace. Simply put, the duty of our personal guards is to make Your Highness feel at ease. "Shen Wanqing said.

Xu Shen already understood.

But what he thought of was another question.

"Will the scent left by His Highness attract stronger Xu?" Xu Shen asked curiously.

Shen Wanqing said calmly: "Of course they will, but the A-level market is on the same level as His Highness, they can sense each other's strength, and they can also sense that this is His Highness's territory. The top-level market is similar to a lone tiger. , In order to protect your own territory, you also know what kind of attack you will suffer if you invade other people's territory."

Xu Shen's face is strange, what I want to ask is... what about the Xu that surpasses A-level?

Will they be attracted by the queen's scent and wander down to feed?

"If you are very hungry, there will be Daxu coming to the shallow layer to look for food." Maeve seemed to see Xu Shen's thoughts through Xu Shen's expression, and replied close to Xu Shen's ear.

Xu Shen felt a little itchy in his ears, although he didn't touch each other, he knew it was his own psychological effect.

"That queen ant... the taste is still in the germination stage." Maeve smiled lightly, but there was a bit of appetite in her eyes.

Xu Shen felt awe-inspiring.

In other words, the stronger the cultivation, the more attention will be paid to the deep market when one's own aura is revealed?

Stronger...and tastier?

"His Highness usually comes here to read, so the smell left in this study will also attract people to the market, so don't be careless." Shen Wanqing reminded Xu Shen.

The study looked very peaceful, not like a dangerous place at all, but Shen Wanqing had already experienced two battles here.

Xu Shen nodded, his eyes became serious, and he looked around.

The study room has three floors, and each floor is huge in size, with heavy bookshelves. To Xu Shen's surprise, some of the bookshelves are spotless, and there is no dust on them.

Dust fell on only a few bookshelves.

Xu Shen glanced at the names of these books and found that each bookshelf had classifications, among which the detective story bookshelf had the most classifications.

"The Third Room Disappeared"

"Ellen's Toys"

"Don't Write Fill in the Blank Questions"

"The Wall"

……

Xu Shen read the books one by one, and they were all stories about reasoning.

Soon, the first floor was completed, and there was nothing unusual.

Xu Shen followed Shen Wanqing to the second floor.

"We don't need to inspect the third floor. There are many top-secret items collected by the Queen Ant. Outsiders are forbidden to enter." Shen Wanqing said.

Xu Shen nodded and looked towards the second floor with the same size. There were also as many bookshelves here. The lights were blocked by the bookshelves, and the bookshelves looked a bit dark between each other.

Xu Shen saw that Shen Wanqing kept her eyes open and closed all the time, which would consume her strength, but for the two states, maintaining it for a day was enough.

Therefore, personal guard inspection is also considered a physical activity.

"!"

Xu Shen followed behind Shen Wanqing, bypassed a bookshelf, and suddenly stopped slightly.

　Well, normal updates resumed, but not quite, 20 minutes late...
