42 Chapter 42 ~ Hidden Ancient Knowledge - P1 (2/2)

[ I wonder what this room is for... ] Alicia mutters to herself.

Alicia felt afraid, thinking that what is hidden behind the door would be something like the master of the dungeon or at least a very strong opponent.

[ Well, there's only one way to find out. ] with that said, Vlad placed one of his hands in the gate and opened it.

Immediately, their eyes went to the ceiling which stood high. Spikes of stones are hanging all over it; with one shake of the dungeon and they will fall to the ground. Even if Vlad could easily fend them off if whenever they fall, looking at them still made him feel wary.

Removing then his eyes towards the spiky ceiling and continuing to move forward, he looks in front and what he saw were just a bunch of statues and shelves storing books. They are lined up in a pattern neatly but it seems like they have not been taken care of for a long time.

[ Vlad-san... What is this room...? Do... Do you think there're any traps in here...? ] she asked Vlad in fear.

Unlike before, she's trying to act in caution and she's now afraid of causing Vlad any more trouble - hence she asks.

[ No. I don't think so... ]

As he said so, Vlad took a book from one of the large wooden shelves.

He wipes off the dust and he looks at the title of the book.

Vlad is still having trouble in reading and writing the language of this world, hence it took him a few seconds to completely read the title of the book.

”The History of the Elves” was written in the cover.

[ Elves... ] Vlad whispers in interest.

So far, all Vlad had seen in this world are humans. Since this world is the same as the game he had played, it was only natural the different races also exist in this world.

Interested, he stored the book inside his storage.

He then took another book - read the title, and repeat.

”The Dragons of Brulhild”

”The Gate: Mystery of Another Country”

”The Kingdom, the Empire, and Other Smaller Countries”

”Sacred Spells of Ancient Magnus”

”Theories of Another World: Where did Goblins come From?”

”The Dwarves of Mt. Pulu”

”Legendary 'Device'”

”Goddess Clair and the Holy Empress”

”Advance Magic Spells: Fire Element”

”All Known Countries”

”Peace Between Races: Humans”

”The Guild of Heteromorphs”

These were some of the titles Vlad had read. Some of it caught his attention and decided to store it.

[ Vlad-san... Some of these books are ancient... I can't believe they will exist in this dungeon... ] she mutters in disbelief as she also browses the shelves with great curiosity.

( The books here are mixed, huh...? Some look fake but there are some that look real and would be useful... ) he thought as he continues to take some of the books and read their titles one by one. And as he did so, he found one that got his interest the most than any other of the books.

”The Tales and Names of all Known Heroes”
