In the study.
Webster stood before Ron's bookshelf, scanning it from top to bottom.
Suddenly, he spotted several suspicious books whose spines bore neither titles nor any other writing.
He raised a hand and solemnly pulled one of them out.
On the cover was an elf with seductive poise and alluring movements, dressed in scant clothing, her eyes shimmering with light.
Webster's expression froze.
He pulled out several more untitled books and found that they were all similar illustrated albums.
"Tsk..." Webster's eye twitched.
"What is it? Did you find something?" Wosbaits, who had been searching the cabinets on the other side of the study, came over and curiously looked at the illustrated album in Webster's hand.
Webster shook his head and raised a hand to put the books back. "Just some vulgar trash."
Wosbaits had sharp eyes and immediately recognized what they were. A look of righteous indignation appeared on his face as he snatched the illustrated albums away in a flash, opened them, and studied them closely. "You're being far too careless. The more depraved a book is, the more likely it is to conceal secrets! Don't you even know that basic common sense?"
Seeing the upward curl of Wosbaits's mouth as he lowered his head, Webster suppressed his anger and said in a low voice, "We're here to investigate. Straighten up your attitude!"
"Ahem, ahem..." With a solemn expression, Wosbaits took a Book of Replication from his spatial device and copied the contents of the illustrated albums into it. "Then I'll investigate these books properly after I return. We absolutely cannot overlook even the slightest trace!"
Webster could not be bothered with him and continued searching through the bookshelf.
Unfortunately, aside from a few improper illustrated albums, all the other books were perfectly ordinary.
