Noelle's scream, without exception, attracted Lisa. Seeing that the one making the noise was this little darling, Lisa didn't know what to do for a moment.
After noticing Miss Durandal's presence beside her, Lisa decisively chose a verbal warning, then returned to her spot to slack off.
Miss Durandal looked at Noelle with an inexplicable gaze, then she noticed the books Noelle had placed beside her and curiously picked one up to read.
Noelle wanted to stop her, but thinking that this person was her benefactor who had always helped her, it wouldn't be appropriate to do so… Of course, she also didn't think she could snatch it from Miss Durandal anyway.
Noelle's book… how should I put it? It wasn't a book about Knight knowledge as Miss Durandal had expected, but a very ordinary novel, a novel that a Damselette would read.
This was normal. Noelle was still within the scope of a Damselette no matter what, so it was natural for her to be interested in such books.
It's just… why are the protagonists in this book two girls? Usually, aren't these romance stories about a male and female protagonist? I didn't expect there to be such novels.
Miss Durandal flipped through it with a hint of curiosity. Noelle watched nervously from the side, like a student waiting for a teacher to grade an essay, or a student caught reading a novel in class by the teacher?
Miss Durandal quickly finished the novel. The content of the novel wasn't much; even an ordinary person could finish it in a few hours. It's just… why did she feel that some of the plot points in the novel were so familiar?
How should I describe the two female protagonists in the novel? One appeared very dominant, and the other very submissive, the dominant one guiding the submissive one. To describe it in human terms, it was… very loving?
Miss Durandal tilted her head. She finally realized why it felt so familiar; Lumine seemed to have done some of the things in the plot to her.
It's just that Hulder didn't want to be like that passive girl who always cleaned up Lumine.
What's going on? Could it be that Lumine is planning to capture her? That shouldn't be possible... But it seems there's a real chance. If it's her, the possibility is quite high.
Thinking of this, Durandal raised her head and looked at Noelle with a strange gaze again, making her a little nervous.
She wanted to explain something, but before she could open her mouth, Durandal grabbed her hand and pulled her into the interior of the library, a place where few people came.
Then, Durandal pushed Noelle into a corner and, according to the plots in the novels, performed a 'wall-slam' on Noelle.
Let me explain here that Durandal is a little shorter than Noelle. In order to prevent this scene from becoming comical, Durandal made her body rise slightly, so that Noelle wouldn't look down on her.
"Why are you reading this kind of book? Are you very interested in this kind of thing?"
"I... I... I'm not."
Noelle's explanation was extremely pale. If she wasn't interested in this kind of thing, why would she read this kind of book?
Durandal found the novel from the books Noelle had finished reading, which meant that Noelle had already read this book before.
It would be absolutely false to say that Noelle was not interested in it, but... why would she be interested in that kind of novel? Durandal didn't understand. Could it be that she liked some of the plots in it? For example... the things they are doing now?
Noelle was in a state of high tension. Why was she suddenly interested in that kind of book? It was related to the interaction she saw between Lumine and Durandal during training before.
That's nothing, but the main thing is that when she came to the library to help Lisa clean up, she found a novel of that type in the restricted book area.
Originally, she didn't want to read it, but a strong curiosity drove her to pick up the novel, read it little by little, and finally finished the entire content.
From that time on, a strange switch on Noelle's body was turned on. Occasionally, when she came to the library to study or relax, she would secretly take out such a novel to read.
She had been very careful before, but today she was a little careless. In addition, she didn't expect Durandal to come here, and she came to her when she was fully focused. This time, she was exposed.
Ugh, wow ah ~ Ugh, wow ah ~ They are clearly both girls, clearly only slightly closer, but why is her heartbeat becoming so fast?
Noelle's mind is now full of the plots in the novel. Generally, when this kind of plot occurs, it is the moment to carry out that kind of link.
Faced with what might happen, Noelle was not afraid, but rather a little expectant, expecting the plot in the novel to happen to her.
But she waited for a long time, but did not wait for Durandal's next move. She secretly opened her eyes and found that Durandal had separated from her, and her eyes had moved away from her and looked at a certain position behind her.
"You've been hiding there for so long, it's about time to show yourself."
Durandal looked behind a certain bookshelf and then said, "Do you really think that hiding there can escape my eyes? Hurry up and come out."
Did she really think that she brought Noelle to this place because she was curious about the scenes in the novel? When she was reading the book, she noticed several gazes focused on her.
Removing the few that were easy to find, and then removing Lisa's gaze, there were a total of three gazes hiding in the dark. Without thinking, she knew who these three people were.
"I said, Durandal would definitely find out. You still didn't believe me, you had to hide and peek. It's all your fault, Traveler."
"Why is it all my fault? You didn't mean to stop me at all, and you were the most serious one just now. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, you're actually the most expectant one, right?"
"You... you're slandering me!"
"..."
Soon, Lumine, Paimon and Shenhe walked out from behind the bookshelf, slightly embarrassed to avoid Durandal's gaze.
When Noelle saw that there were three other people hiding in the dark and peeking, her face instantly turned red, and she just wanted to find a crack to crawl into. She was too shy.
"You didn't go to Dragonspine to explore, what are you doing here?"
According to her understanding, Lumine should be excitedly looking for the traces of treasure chest in Dragonspine, how could she be hiding in the dark with Paimon and Shenhe to peep at her.
Did she really think that her perception ability was just a furnishing? Besides, their gazes were so obvious, only a fool wouldn't see that someone was following.
"Actually... we went to Dragonspine at first, but we found some books in Dragonspine that recorded some secrets, so we came to the library to ask Lisa if she knew the inside story."
The secrets hidden in Dragonspine are more than they imagined. The murals and some hidden books all suggest that there may have been some incredible civilizations in the past of Dragonspine.
But Lumine came to Dragonspine to adventure. This work is done by Scholar, so she told these materials to the Scholar who is responsible for studying Dragonspine below Dragonspine, and obtained the Reward of providing clues from them, and promised to help them get more clues.
Coming to the library was to ask Lisa if there were any books about Dragonspine. As a result, they had just talked to Lisa when they saw the figures of Durandal and Noelle.
This made Lumine instantly excited, and she immediately gave up the idea of asking and hid in the dark to start observing.
Everyone knows the plot behind. Until Durandal called them out, they were hiding in the dark observing the development of the situation, and finally Durandal called them out.
"Um... what did you call Noelle here to do?"
"In order to lure you over, naturally you have to do some suspicious behavior. You... it seems that you haven't realized your problem at all."
Why did she choose to act alone today? Wasn't it because they did something a little too much last night?
This person just saw that she was reluctant to be rough with her, so she dared to be so unscrupulous and dare to be so arrogant in front of her.
She was indeed right. Durandal was indeed reluctant to be rough with her, but she was not without a way to deal with Lumine. Don't forget that she still had a trump card to deal with Lumine in her hand.
"For a month from today, don't think about getting Primogems from me."
"Eh?"
Lumine thought Durandal would do something to punish her, but she didn't expect to wait for such a sentence.
Lumine, who had reacted, understood that this was Durandal's punishment. For a month, she would get ten Primogems from Durandal every day, and there would be about three hundred in a month.
This is a huge sum of money. At the thought of three hundred Primogems about to leave her, Lumine felt so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe.
Ignoring the mischievous Lumine, Durandal turned her gaze to Shenhe. This person was also Lumine's accomplice. Facing Durandal's gaze, Shenhe nervously lowered her head to meet the punishment Durandal gave her.
She thought that Durandal would ignore her for a while, or let her go back to the Immortal Cave in Mt. Aocang to calm down for a while, but what she waited for was Durandal's gentle caress.
Durandal gently stroked Shenhe's beautiful hair and whispered, "Don't learn from this guy in the future, don't let her influence you, understand?"
"... Yes, I know."
"Very good, you have always been very well-behaved. If she forces you to do anything, don't listen to her, come and tell me as soon as possible, understand?"
Because of the height problem, Durandal used the same trick again, raising her body a little again, coming to a position a little taller than Shenhe, gently hugging her head, letting her lean in her arms, and she gently stroked Shenhe's head as a Reward like an adult.
Shenhe was so surprised by this sudden surprise that she couldn't speak for a while. At the same time as being happy, she also felt a little guilty.
Last night's actions were not entirely done under Lumine's instigation. She was just pretending to be instigated by Lumine.
However, no one knows about this matter except herself.
In that case, she will accept this Reward with peace of mind and decide to work harder in the future.
Noelle, as an outsider, looked at this slightly comical scene and didn't know what to say.
"Is this... their daily life?"
