Chapter 266: The second floor! (2/2)

”Follow me.”

The librarian took Elliot to the counter. After telling him to wait for a while, the librarian searched for the free reading coupon. The counter was in the center of the first floor, and it had many coffee stands, all of which were automatic and self-service. How it works was self-explanatory. There were words on each button of the coffee machine. Press this, and that will happen. Elliot pushed one button after another, a total of three. A moment later, with a noise sounding close to a clash between metals and the raise of the lid, a cup of coffee got delivered to him.

He picked it up, and just when he took a sip, the librarian appeared before him with a coin in his hand.

”Here, take this. It will allow you to go to the second free and read three books for free.

”You might think that three books are not a lot, but they actually are, as the second floor contains secret techniques, pill recipes, weapons and robot creating plans, and high-quality books like that. So, even three are worth a lot.

”There's a time limit, though. Flip the coin, and you'll understand.”

Elliot did just that and saw the number 1 on it.

”Only an hour?” Elliot said in a somewhat disappointed tone.

The librarian rolled his eyes. ”What do you think of me? I am not that cheap.”

Elliot's eyes brightened up.

”So, it's for an entire day?”

”A week, but of course, you can come out early.”

”That I might not do.” Elliot said, ”But anyway, thanks.”

After splitting up with the librarian, Elliot went up to the second floor by using the token.

The thing he came across was a monument describing one of the legends of the omnipotent, omniscient, and indifferent race.

The monument only had three sentences. Each sentence was translated into the soul language.

The first one revealed that the divine race stood at the peak of technology, magic, and all the other stuff.

The second one described the legendary event in vivid detail, a legendary tale that even left Elliot speechless!
