289 The Holy Lady of Ligh (2/2)

Most of them were wearing white cloaks or robes. Few were in other colors.

There were a lot of merchants on the sides of the street, but none of them were peddling. They simply sat in silence and looked at the passersby earnestly.

Though the population of the Holy Realm was high and the street was rather crowded, it was not obstreperous at all.

Not all the passersby were silent, but when they talked, they kept their voices as low as possible.

Schuck took Roland to the Temple of Light and said, ”I won't show you around. Most of the places are not open to you since you're not a believer of the Church of Light, and misunderstandings may result if we break in. I'll just take you to the grand library. After all, nothing here is really impressive for us.”

That was exactly what Roland wanted. He had feared that Schuck would show him around the city like a friendly host.

He was not even interested in women at this point, not to mention scenic spots.

After walking for another ten minutes, they finally reached the bottom of the Temple of Light.

This temple was essentially a hill. The foundation of the temple, piled with infinite white square rocks, were unbelievably huge. Roland observed it for a while and sighed.

Was the grand library inside this temple?

It seemed heavily guarded.

Roland had seen that multiple entrances of the temple were all guarded by the Guards of Light in white robes. He was sure that he wouldn't be qualified to go in if it weren't for Schuck.

While Roland thought about that, Schuck suddenly turned right and took him to another building that was relatively much smaller.

”This is the grand library.” Schuck smiled. ”Are you disappointed?”

Roland shook his head.

Schuck continued, ”You only feel that it's small because it's built next to the temple. It's actually quite huge.”

Roland was not entirely convinced yet, but after he entered the building and the temple could not be seen anymore, Roland realized that Schuck was right.

This grand library was truly grand.

The bookshelves were like trees that formed a boundless forest. Many female clerics were moving around and classifying the books.

At the reading area not far away, clerics in white robes were turning pages in silence.

One of the female clerics who was busy working saw Schuck by chance when she raised her head.

Her eyes glimmering, she walked to him and asked, ”Mr. Schuck, why are you here?”

”I'm here to talk to the Holy Lady. I have an appointment with her.” Schuck smiled.

”The Holy Lady is in the reading room on the third floor.”

”Thank you.”

Schuck nodded and left with Roland.

Behind them, the female cleric was still staring at Schuck's back affectionately.

Four minutes later, Roland met the Holy Lady of Light in a spacious but simply decorated room.
