Chapter 92 - Nameless Tome 1 (2/2)

Although he had successfully restored the Nag Hammadi Chronicles after an arduous journey, he had never gotten the chance to complete the other 2 chronicles along with this nameless tome.

Back then, he wasn’t even aware that these ancient texts even existed.

In terms of importance, these items were as important as the Seven Color Rainbow Ring.

‘I should begin with the Edda Chronicles this time.’

The rewards for completing the Nag Hammadi Chronicles’ epic quest were bound to be worse compared to the previous turn, while he didn’t even know where the Sangreal Chronicles were located.

On the other hand, he knew of the approximate location of the Edda Chronicles, and he had learned of the Nibelungenlied’s true ending. He could therefore restore the Edda Chronicles once he would obtain it.

The journey to achieve this goal would take a long time, and although he had to reconsider his future plans and journey, there was no need for him to rush.

“Then will you return to the Rhine Kingdom once you obtain that tome?”

“Indeed.”

As the monarch, he couldn’t leave his kingdom’s throne empty for too long.

No matter how good of a regent Joanna was, if the king was away for too long, the state of affairs would become disorderly.

Even though he had purged the country of rebellious aristocrats, there was no guarantee that such corrupted nobles wouldn’t appear again.

Other demons, including Demon King Volak, would also aim for the kingdom while he was away.

When Woohyuk finished explaining, Choi Kayoon’s face brightened.

She already wanted to prepare her base with the thousand gold she had received from Count Oswald.

“Once I reach the Floren Province, I’ll buy a range and peacefully raise horses.”

“Your dream is to own a horse stable?”

“I should make good use of my speciality. And that’s the only ordinary thing I can do in this world.”

If she walked down the road of a monster tamer, she would need a disguise job to trick the residents around her.

Woohyuk nodded at her words.

“That’s definitely not a bad idea. But if you want, I can help you become an actress.”

“...Let’s keep that for later. I’ll tell you when I feel ready for it.”

Choi Kayoon was still unable to recover from her trauma due to getting raped.

It was still impossible for her to go on stage with people staring at her from every angle.

And since the world was in chaos, she wouldn’t be able to calm down and act on stage as if nothing bad was happening.

“We’re almost there.”

“Is that the library? It’s huge.”

An antique building was standing next to the Violetta Cathedral.

When Woohyuk and Choi Kayoon approached the entrance, a guard blocked their way.

“Please show your papers please.”

“I am Count Oswald.”

Woohyuk responded with profoundness as he showed him the pass to the royal library.

This time, he also wore extravagant clothes like Choi Kayoon.

The guard observed the two before saluting them officially.

“I apologize for my ignorance. Please forgive my disrespect.”

The security within Neferti was still as tight as ever even after the disappearance of the shadow killer, as they were worried that this kind of incident would happen again.

‘We will most likely be observed even within the library.’

He couldn’t act in a suspicious manner before finding the nameless tome.

Woohyuk calmly walked into the royal library.

“Do we actually have to search through this entire building?”

“...We need to use our minds if we want to reduce the time it takes.”

He didn’t think the nameless tome would be hidden amongst the ordinary books.

Its location was most likely somewhere people wouldn’t touch, somewhere with an important meaning and symbol.

As Woohyuk observed the library’s layout, a pale young man approached them.

“Is there a book you are looking for?”

A slim body with round golden glasses.

He was the librarian.

‘Perfect timing.’

There was something he wanted to ask.

Woohyuk grabbed the librarian in front of him and whispered in his ear.

“Isn’t there a secret section within this library.”

“...A secret section?”

The librarian jolted and asked back in surprise.

Woohyuk nodded.

“An area where only those with a high membership have access to.”

“Tha, that’s…”

The librarian stuttered his words.

It was such a sudden question that he couldn’t come up with a proper answer.

‘Just as I expected.’

Many big shots often set foot inside the royal library.

Most of them preferred to avoid the gazes of the common aristocrats, so with the cost of sponsoring the library, they would be provided with a secret and quiet area.

The nameless tome could be located in this secret section. Woohyuk took out Jake’s Pocket Watch.

“If it’s hard for you to answer, I’ll change my question. Do you see his watch?”

“Oh, yes. It appears to be quite the luxurious item.”

“Here’s a suggestion. From now on, I’ll be swaying this watch sideways in front of you. If you don’t take your eyes off of it for 10 seconds, I’ll give you one gold.”

“...That doesn’t seem very hard to do. Allow me to partake.”

The librarian gladly accepted Woohyuk’s offer.

His mind was so focused on the gold that he had totally forgotten the question from earlier.

“Here I go.”

Woohyuk began to move his hands and the pocket watch moved sideways like a pendulum.

As the librarian stared intently at the watch, he slowly got hypnotized.

“Lead me to the secret section.”

“Yes.”

The man replied with unfocused eyes.

Choi Kayoon was surprised by this scene.

“Were you studying psychology before getting summoned here?”

“No. This is just the item’s effect.”

Originally, it could only be used to hypnotize weakened opponents, but the librarian was a bit of a bird-brain that the effect took place immediately.

‘Things are going well.’

If he hadn’t gotten hypnotized, Woohyuk would’ve used force even at the risk of exposing himself.
