Chapter 311 Advance
Gu Yang searched in the archives for a long time. Most of the books on the bookshelf were about cultivation techniques, as well as some population files and tax records of Shenshui Town.
He casually flipped open a book of martial arts and found that the content was extremely superficial and was obviously used to fool ordinary cultivators.
He flipped through a few more books and found that the contents were similar. He couldn't help but sneer in his heart:
"The collection of books in this mayor's mansion is just like this."
However, when he turned to the corner of the bookshelf, he unexpectedly found several pornographic books with illustrations.
The pages of the book are yellowed, obviously it is quite old, but the content inside is very "vivid".
Gu Yang frowned, threw the book back to its place, and secretly despised it in his heart:
"This mayor is indeed a vulgar person."
He continued to search, but still could not find any ancient books about Deepwater's history.
There was an area in the archives clearly marked as "Historical Books", but the shelves were empty, without even a single relevant book.
"Strange, could it be that these ancient books have been hidden?" Gu Yang muttered to himself, frowning slightly.
He put the book back in its place and thought to himself, "Looks like I need to go ask the mayor if there are any books somewhere else."
As soon as he walked out of the archive room, he heard a woman's laughter coming from the yard next door.
The laughter was charming and attractive, obviously a group of women were playing around.
Gu Yang stopped and returned to the study, sending out his spiritual sense to investigate the situation in the yard next door.
I saw a dozen or so seductively dressed women standing in the yard next door. They were wearing light gauze, had gorgeous makeup, and there was a bit of worldly air in their every move.
The steward was standing before them, holding a bag of silver in his hand, distributing it while saying:
"This is a reward from the mayor. We have distinguished guests visiting us today, so you should go back first.
The mayor will go to the flower boat tonight to renew our relationship. I'll call you then."
The women took the silver, smiled sweetly and responded, then left the yard in twos and threes.
Gu Yang withdrew his spiritual sense and his eyes instantly became sharp.
These women are actually from the flower boat!
what does this mean?
Has the mayor been corrupted by their beauty?
Or is it that the mayor himself is a flower boat person?
"If that's true, then the ancient books in the archives would have been taken away long ago." Gu Yang said in a low voice with a hint of coldness in his tone.
His face darkened, and he was secretly alert in his heart: "The people on the flower boat are very calculating. It seems that they really cannot be underestimated."
Gu Yang stood at the door of the archive room, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
He thought again, maybe there was a second place where the books were stored, and things couldn't be thought of so absolutely.
Just as he was thinking, his spiritual sense detected that the butler was walking towards him.
A gleam of light flashed in Gu Yang's eyes, and he immediately had an idea in his mind.
He adjusted his mood, a look of despair appeared on his face, then he sighed deeply and slowly walked out of the archive room.
The housekeeper happened to pass by and saw Gu Yang's expression. He couldn't help but stop and asked with concern: "Sir, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Yang raised his head, a look of regret on his face, and a hint of loss in his tone:
“Alas, I wanted to delve into the history of Waterdeep, but after searching through all the books in the archives, I still couldn’t find what I was looking for.
Is this trivial wish also going to be in vain?"
He spoke sincerely, with a hint of helplessness and sadness in his tone, which even moved the butler.
The housekeeper hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Sir, actually... Miss Fengling from the flower boat came here last time and said she wanted to find a book to practice for self-defense, so she took away a batch of books.
Maybe the ancient book you are looking for was borrowed by her."
When Gu Yang heard this, his heart suddenly trembled.
Sure enough, the people on the flower boat had already taken action in advance!
His guess was correct. Those ancient books were indeed taken away, and it was very likely that they were related to the strange formation.
However, his expression remained calm, and he only revealed a bitter smile: "I see... That's a pity."
Seeing Gu Yang's downcast expression, the housekeeper said enthusiastically, "If you are anxious, why don't you come with me to the flower boat tonight and ask Miss Fengling for it?
She is usually gentle and shouldn't make things difficult for you."
Gu Yang was shocked when he heard this.
He waved his hands quickly, his tone a little flustered: "No need, no need! How can I have the nerve to trouble Miss Fengling?
Besides, my little matter is not worth mobilizing so much."
He thought to himself that if the people on the flower boat knew that he was investigating the history of Deepwater, they would definitely be alert.
If they are forced to activate the formation prematurely, the entire Deepwater Town will probably be in danger.
Seeing that Gu Yang refused so straightforwardly, the butler was a little confused, but did not ask any more questions.
He nodded, his tone apologetic. "In that case, if you need anything else, please let me know."
Gu Yang forced a smile, his tone a little perfunctory: "Thank you, butler, for disturbing you today."
After he finished speaking, he hurriedly left the mayor's mansion.
As he walked out of the door, his expression darkened instantly, his eyes filled with a hint of coldness. "The people on the flower boat are indeed not simple. They actually took away the ancient books in advance. It seems they have been prepared for this."
