Chapter 969 (1/2)
”Ring ring”
The phone got connected while he was still in a daze
”hello? Why are you calling again?” The voice on the other line see to say, do it quickly I' out soon”
Roland shook his head and forced himself to concentrate ”Ah, so I've just read the book and its content is quite”
”It's quite horrifying, right?” Garcia seeuessed his reaction ”This is usually how most people behave when they see it for the first tiet all about it after you've slept”
”Fictional?” Roland frowned ”What do you mean?”
”Literally” Laughter could be heard on the other end of the earpiece ”The Martialist association investigated the volcanic ruins ulfed by h it has never had a big eruption, it hasn't been completely dormant for thousands of years either So unless he can replay the past or live for two centuries, while also being able to tolerate the high te stuff up”
Her reply really surprised hi, ”In that case he made up all the content in the book?”
”It could be true or false Anyway, I've never had y Master once said that if wasn't for the fact that the author earing the martialist robes and died in the association's library, the book wouldn't even have been kept and recorded”
”But the association didn't know his identity”
”So the author himself became more famous than the book for that reason This could be considered an unsolved mystery of the association But I doubt you'll be able to solve it According to h every nook and cranny of the records depart” Garcia said, ”Anyway, there're soto hang up now”
”Hang on, wait—” Roland said hurriedly, ”After you brought the book this tiain?”
He actually wanted to ask about the note, but eventually changed his mind
”I flipped through a few pages on the way back What happened?”
”No, nothing I just wanted to ask”
”Click” The line got cut off on the other end—apparently, this teasing question made Garcia lose her patience
He could even hear the door closing over at aparth they were separated by talls
Roland could not help but sigh If he was not direct, then this sort of question that he asked would only cause annoyance and nothing else
Firstly, only half of the book ”Raison d'être” ritten, and the red note was es There would be no guarantee that it would be noticed even if you were to read the entire book
She had also taken the shuttle when she caine that she would not have hadher journey back
Regardless of how Garcia answered, he would still not have been able to judge whether she had seen this note
No—it was a definite no
According to Garcia's character, if she had seen it, she would certainly not be indifferent to it
So it would seem that these two sentences were either a prank of soe
Roland could not help but wish that it was just a prank
The other alternative was just too absurd
Who was the note for? Was it meant for anyone who discovered it, or did it have a specific target?
Rationally speaking, he was more inclined toward the latter—the book was not top-secret, and most of the martialists had already read it due to its fa if there was a reader who did not discover it, but it was very unlikely that it remained undiscovered even after so many people had read the book So it was probable that the note was not placed in the book fro, but rather it was put in there fairly recently
