Chapter 321 Jane's Request, Heading to the [Cold Sea]!

[Federal Library]

Due to the [Federal Call], most people on [Liuli Island] are busy dealing with the possible world-destroying flood.

The deserted library on weekdays is even more deserted.

It was under this circumstance that Shane met the librarian Jane Vivian again.

This elegant and wise half-elf old man was originally arranging the books on the bookshelf as usual.

Seeing Shane coming, Jane was not surprised and said.

"Are you leaving [Liuli Island]?"

The old woman has the wisdom accumulated over time and saw the purpose of Shane's visit at a glance.

"Yes, tomorrow."

Shane nodded and said, "I have done almost everything I need to do, and it's time to leave."

"Besides, tomorrow is the day when the large-scale transmission ritual is opened."

"It's better to do it on the same day, otherwise you will have to wait another week if you miss it."

Because of Jane's previous free help and her behavior of sticking to the library for hundreds of years out of a promise.

Shane always respected Jane, so he answered her questions in detail.

Hearing this, Jane thought for a moment and said as if she had made a major decision.

"In this case, I have an unwelcome request, and I hope Captain Shane can agree to it."

Shane was a little surprised: "What is the request?"

"As long as I can do it, I will try my best to do it."

The help that Jane brought to Shane in interpreting those three sentences was enough for him to make such a promise.

Those words directly gave Shane a deeper understanding of history and the past.

More importantly, Shane also learned the truth that the ancient dragon clan has not yet perished!

This means that Lyra and the elves still have the possibility of survival.

Although it is only a possibility, whether there is this hope or not gives people a completely different feeling.

However, Shane is also a little curious. What exactly is the request that can make Jane so solemnly put forward?

What if he boasts about it at that time, but it is impossible to complete it in the end, wouldn't it be a bit embarrassing?

As if seeing Shane's thoughts, Jane smiled slightly.

"Don't worry, it's not a very difficult request."

"Rather, the difficulty lies in my determination."

Hearing this, Xia En was even more confused: "What is it?"

Jane still said lightly: "You will know tomorrow."

Xia En's mouth twitched.

Why is it so mysterious?

But Jane is an elder after all, Xia En can't question her directly, so he can only say goodbye and leave.

After Xia En left, Jane looked up at the bookshelves around her and walked slowly through them.

She stretched out her fingers and stroked the covers of books that were almost as old as herself.

The past gradually came to mind.

Including the appearance of the [Federal Library] when it was first established, as well as the people she met and the books she read in the library.

The half-elf woman couldn't help but show some reminiscence and sentiment on her face, and whispered to herself.

"It turns out that it has been so long..."

Wuwu...

At this time, a gust of wind suddenly blew in the closed library, making a strange sound like sobbing.

Like crying and complaining, it seems to carry a little bit of resentment.

All things have spirits, and this [Federal Library], which carries countless ancient books and history, has naturally given birth to its own spirits over the long years.

At this time, most likely sensing the decision that Jane is about to make, the entire library also expressed reluctance and resentment.

"Can't bear to see me leave?"

Jane looked up at the dome of the library and smiled: "Actually, I can't bear to see you leave, old friend."

"But, there is no banquet that will never end?"

"And don't worry, I will come back one day."

"During my absence, please take good care of the child I chose."

The gentle sound of the wind sounded again from all around, as if responding to Jane's request.

And Jane slowly walked to the door of the secret room.

Press the mechanism and push the door open.

Compared with the last time I came, the furnishings in the entire secret room have become much cleaner and tidier, and many equipment have been put away, as if they have been carefully sorted and cleaned.

"Ms. Administrator, you, you are back!"

At this time, a voice as thin as a mosquito sounded next to her.

This is a girl wearing glasses and wearing simple and honest clothes. She is the type who is easily shy and afraid of strangers.

"Mia, are you still calling me Ms. Administrator?"

Jane smiled softly and said softly: "From tomorrow, you are the administrator of this library."

The girl called Mia was still a little unbelievable and asked: "Administration... Ms. Jane, are you really leaving?"

Jane nodded: "The previous promise has bound me for too long."

"Now that the agreement has been reached, the shackles of the past have been lifted, and it's time for me to go to other places in the Seven Seas."

Facing this kind of soft-speaking administrator, Mia is still quite unaccustomed.

On weekdays, even when facing her, Jane has a cold and quiet attitude, with a hint of alienation.

But when Mia thought that this might be the last few words Jane left before leaving, she felt inexplicably sad.

"But, Ms. Jane, why did you choose me as the next heir?"

Mia asked in a low voice with a bit of inferiority complex in her tone of confusion.

"I'm obviously very ordinary... I'm not good-looking, I'm weak, and I don't have any connections. There should be many other more suitable candidates, right?"

The position of administrator of the [Federal Great Library] has not changed in hundreds of years.

But if there is a change, it will undoubtedly attract many applicants.

Just the name [Federal Great Library] can make countless scholars flock to it.

This is both an asset and an honor.

Because of this, Mia is confused by Jane's choice.

"Actually the reason is very simple."

Perhaps because she was about to leave, Jane showed great patience and explained softly: "Just because..."

"You look a lot like me when I was younger, that's all."

"Ms. Admin in your youth...how is that possible?"

Mia's first reaction was disbelief.

Because in her impression, Jane always looked cool, calm and intellectual, as if she could solve any difficulties with ease.

Even when facing powerful figures in the federation, Jane still refused to flatter or give in. On the contrary, the other party had to lower their stance.

To be honest, Jane has always been Mia's idol.

That's why she didn't believe it.

"Why don't you believe it?"

Jane smiled and said: "I used to be very timid. I would be shy when others stared at me. All I could think about was studying."

"I've been laughed at a lot for this."

"It's just that things slowly change as we get older."

"I believe that as long as I give you a chance, you can grow into a person who can stand on your own, maybe even better than me."

After hearing these words, Mia's eyes widened slightly: "Ms. Administrator..."

She wiped away her tears and said seriously: "I will definitely do a good job! I will try my best to live up to your expectations!"

"I will definitely wait until the day you come back."

"good."

Jane nodded: "Then...this is my agreement with you."

"By the way, the reason why I am usually very cold towards you and other people is actually because I have lived too long and experienced too many joys and sorrows."

"So I don't want to establish new bonds and connections. It can be said that I am already a little afraid of separation, right?"

"Usually, I'm really sorry."

This can be said to be a kind of sadness for the immortal species.

They had just established a relationship with a short-lived species, but in the blink of an eye, the other person had already left the world.

Because he is afraid of separation, he uses a cold and hard appearance to isolate himself from others.

But at this time, Jane also wanted to try to make some changes.

…

…

other side.

Shane arrived at the gate of the Moriarty family's manor.

On weekdays, it was Daisy and her brother who took the initiative to discuss business matters with him.

It was also the first time for Shane to visit Moriarty's manor like this.

It has to be said that although the Moriarty family has declined a bit due to the disappearance of the ancestor, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

The vastness of this manor can be said to be unprecedented in Xia En's life.

Inside the black hollow iron gate is a tall and neat white building and a wide and beautiful courtyard.

The reliefs and murals on the walls are full of history, and there seems to be a large field in the distance.

Being able to own such a manor on [Liu Li Island] where every inch of land is extremely valuable shows how wealthy the Moriarty family is.

It was only after seeing this manor that Xia En had the real feeling that "it turns out that Daisy and Alessio are truly children of a big family."

After all, in these days of getting along.

The two people's attitudes towards Xia En have completely changed from being curious and somewhat disdainful, to communicating on an equal footing, to being extremely admiring and vaguely worshiping.

Therefore, he almost forgot that the two siblings were children of a large family.

Xia En was about to explain his purpose to the waiter guarding the door when he heard the waiter take the initiative to speak.

"Is this Mr. Shane? Please come in."

"Miss Daisy has already given instructions that you will be treated as a distinguished guest of the Moriarty family and you can enter and leave the manor at will."

"Oh well."

Shane still appreciates Daisy's thoughtfulness in details.

It's just that her behavior in some aspects was a little too frivolous, which made Xia En a little uncomfortable.

"Miss Daisy is in the manor. I'm going to report to her. Sir, please wait in the waiting room for a while."

Not long after, the waiter brought Xia En through the door and led him to a waiting room.

What surprised Xia En.

Along the way, the maids in the manor seemed to recognize his identity and whispered in low voices.

"Is that Captain Shane of the [Black Swan]?"

"It really looks as good as the rumors say!"

"It is said that even the administrator of the [Federal Library] treats him differently!"

In fact, without Xia En even realizing it, he already had quite a reputation on [Liu Li Island].

On the one hand, the previous deeds of fighting out of the vampire encirclement and piercing three warships gradually unfolded.

Coupled with the special treatment given by the librarian Jane, Shane has been cast a mysterious veil.

On the other hand, even if there are Daisy siblings in front of the stage acting as "smoke bombs."

But with so many new and novel materials entering the market, and the two men's wanton acquisition of shipbuilding materials, it is inevitable that some people will pay attention.

Especially in Moriarty Manor, the servants also have their own speculations about this matter.

Among them, Shane, who has been in close contact with Miss Daisy recently, may be related to this series of events.

It is no wonder that they are curious about Shane.

Not long after.

Daisy rushed to Shane.

With her signature charming smile on her face, she said: "Captain Shane, how come you have time to visit our manor today?"

Shane said directly: "Actually... I'm about to leave [Liuli Island] and go to [Leng Lie Sea]."

"...Ah?"

Daisy was stunned for a moment and said: "It's so fast..."

Her surprised and sad expression suddenly changed, and she chuckled: "...Haha, do you think I would say that?"

"You want to catch the teleportation array tomorrow?"

"To be honest, my [Light Wind] and I are also going to [Leng Lie Sea]!"

"Huh?"

Hearing this news, Shane was surprised.

"Is it just you, or is your brother going too?"

Daisy said frankly: "We'll go together."

"Hiss..."

Shaen was quite shocked by the decision of the Moriarty family.

As far as he knew, the direct young people of Moriarty's generation were only Daisy and her brother.

It was understandable to send one person, but if both of them went, wouldn't the situation be very serious if something unexpected happened?

"The Moriarty family is never afraid of sacrifice."

Daisy said in a serious tone: "This is the ancestral motto of our family."

"Don't look at me like this, I still have Moriarty blood."

"Besides, my parents are still young, even if we have an accident, they can have a few more children."

"As for my cousins, in fact, their desire for power is not that strong."

Hearing this, Shane couldn't help but sigh.

After the disappearance of the [Federal Chief], the Moriarty family still did not completely decline, but maintained a certain vitality. It was indeed not without reason.

Daisy continued, "Besides, we still have you, Captain Shane!"

"If you are here, you will definitely bring us back safely, right?"

Shae could only say, "I will do my best."

His original intention was to say goodbye to Daisy and her brother and deal with the last few trade transactions.

But now that they are leaving together, there is no need to say more.

……

……

The next morning.

The port of [Liuli Island].

Shae waited for Jane's visit on the [Black Swan].

The old woman was carrying a suitcase, wearing a black gauze skirt and a top hat, and said gently.

"My request is...I want to stay on your ship for a while, and go to [Cold Sea] to see the scenery of the Far North."

"Captain Shane, are you willing to accept me as a crew member temporarily?"
