Volume 1 - Chapter 4 – Part 1 (1/2)

shi+n, who left the restaurant, turned around on his foot toward the library Even though the request was not completed yet, it didn’t have a time limit So he didn’t need to hurry Fro the last few days, he intended to carefully study the possible sense of an i crisis

“Is it here?”

shi+n was at the middle point of the coetic merchants could be heard occasionally It was a quiet place compared to the commercial district

And in front of shi+n, there was a library standing tall before his eyes The library, which was ic Library

It seeether, but he was told by Tsugue that he didn’t understand, could be found here Though there were books that couldn’t be read without permission inside, there was no problem, since shi+n intended to only study within a readable scope at this time

Froe quantity of bookshelves in the library, there was nothing special about it, nor were there features that could distinguish it from other libraries Just in case, he received an explanation about the usage at the information desk, he summarized the matters that required attention, such as how he could only rent 3 books at a time, how there was a limit in amount of rental days, and hoas free to read inside the library, but hoould cost money if he borrowed one

As for the rental cost, it was based on what kind of book it was, and how many days it was rented for Of course, if a book was lost, there would be a fine The general rule for the books which required permission to be read, was that it was prohibited to rent them, and there were books that couldn’t be read without certain social status and/or trust such as the senior adventurers and the court service officers

If there was a valuable book, one would think that a thief would break into the library But there were guards and soldiers who kept watch on the surroundings in the building In addition, they also had the skill for crime prevention, so no fellow could act violently

(Is it level Ⅷ 【Barrier】 and 【Wall】? So that’s why they are so full of confidence)

Although he doubted that the skill barrier used was stronger than the rampart, he still admired that the barriers were never broken since fro the explanation, he was instructed where the books of which field were located at Then, he gathered books around the library and sat down on a empty seat

First, the history After all, shi+n thought that the first thing he had to do was to investigate about the ‘Dusk of the Majesty’, which seeout froy which listed the big events since the country was founded in the book, he opened it at once

“First of all, from the recent events Um, it’s the 511th years now from when the country was founded, huh? Because it’s said that the ‘Dusk of the Majesty’ occurred 500 years ago, and it was al of the country”

He traced back the chronological table to the past while looking puzzled due to the strange coincidence There were nus related to the national administration that ritten, such as the conclusion of the alliance, the kings taking over, funerals, wars, large-scale constructions, and so on As he looked at the end of the chronology, which was the part about the country’s founding

“No info about the ‘Dusk of the Majesty’ is written here, not even a little”

Only the founding of the Bayreuth kingdo that happened earlier than that wasn’t written about

“Well, it’s a chronology after all I guess that it ritten about in other books”

He opened another history book while pulling hiether However, most of the content in the opened books did not describe in detail the ‘Dusk of the Majesty’

Though he read several history books afterward, the conclusion was still the same Only one of the books seemed to have written about the event

“The world has changed after that day…”

The king left, the country disappeared, and it ritten that the world had changed, but it was not written clearly about what happened to the world afterwards Apparently, after the ‘Dusk of the Majesty’, there was temporary chaos around the world, but the ‘Dusk of the Majesty’ was not described in detail It seemed odd that there was so little recorded in the book about the players’ logout, where they were thought to have vanished

He took out one of the books fro that no book could provide him with the info he wanted

It seemed to be a book about races, and each feature and characteristic was briefly described

Huhest number in population, and there were a lot of countries, too When a kingdonil ―― Power and vitality were pro life It can transform into the shape of a hu was called a Dragnil King

Beast ―― They have the highest number in population next to humans, they are keen and nimble, and have different characteristics in every tribe When the tribe was gathered together and for

Lord ―― There was a little bias about their ability, also no ability that seemed prominent, but as a whole, their abilities have the tendency to be high When the e

Dwarf ―― They have skillful hands and are good atarmor and tools They were scattered in every country and foruild which had the tendency to share their technique and craft The best crafts

Pixie ―― They are the longest living race, they excelled atThe pixies were divided between the ones who lived in this world, and the ones who lived in the fairy village in the other world, which exchange with each other The king was called a Fairy King

Elf ―― Their lifespans coic, but also their crisis perception ability was high They lived in the woods Young elves often appeared outside the village The village was called the garden, and the chief was called the Forest King

There were no contents that differed froh shi+n ruity for the dwarf’s best crafts, he reinally lived in caves

Because there was a chance that an Elf or Pixie ht know about the ‘Dusk of the Majesty’, he made sure to memorized that part

“Now then, what should I read next?”

He decided to investigate as long as the time permitted, and opened the next book

◆◆◆◆

While shi+n was doing the investigation in the library, executives, such as Barlux and Els, were preparing for a uild

Of course, the agenda was the Skull Face Even though the situation called for waiting for the appraisal of the jewel, the athered for the ti There was a possibility that the information was accurate, because the one who reported was said to hold a letter of introduction Since the Skull Face had already been defeated, the sense of urgency was not high, but the shi+n’s personality in the report of Barlux and Els was raised to soh the man called shi+n seeerous person held the letter of introduction, so it gave the report some credibility

“Well then, let’s start the special ”

All the members in the room directed their attention to Barlux in response to his voice

“Though there are people who have already heard this, the Jack • Skull Face that appeared in the northern forest was subdued The one who subdued it only collected a jehich is currently under investigation”

“The Jack class was subdued and neither the sword nor the armor were collected?”

All the members looked puzzled due to the words from Barlux, who reported plainly The first one to speak was Ardi, as just dispatched as a liaison froe of the appraisal of the jewel, nodded as he had the same kind of doubt Kylie Ein, as the sub-master, and Els, who knew about the circumstances, had no reaction Then Barlux continued

“The person tolddeal”

“Not a big deal?…”

Ardi had the expression of so “hohoho” while co like that, it seems that this h Arad’s hair and beard hite-colored because of his old age, due to his well-developed back htly visible, he didn’t look as old as he was The way he laughed suited the good-natured old man

“The felloho hold the introduction letter are generally thoughtless fellows They don’t care about losing their life, especially the young ones”

“Is that so?”

“Wait! Wait! Though I have no obligation to say this, we are not that thoughtless”

“It’s not convincing when guild master says so”
