84 Zikel Clan (1/2)

The room was the same as he had originally left it, crumbling gravel and rocks tending to fall on the floor with dust everywhere.

Papers were also thrown about making the place a complete mess. Dean tried to kick the rock away from the door but it suddenly crumbled

Dean immediately wanted to know if he was late and asked

”How many days of preparation do I have?”

His words were a little rushed but Alexander was still able to understand it

”Hmm, I'm pretty sure you still have a day. Did you actually forget the day?”

The teacher was slightly snickering at Dean for not remembering when the day they would leave began while Ellis stayed quiet as normal and diligently

Without giving an answer to Alexander's question, Dean already slammed the door leaving the office immediately.

The room shook a little due to the force and more cracks opened up and dust began to fly around.

Ellis and Alexander both coughed at the unexpected surprise of more dust but used their papers to fan it away.

While they struggled to breath fresh air and work in a healthy environment, Dean headed towards the library to get some of his answers solved.

He couldn't continue cultivating his [Battle Intent Manual] as a small glimpse into enlightenment caused immense pain and even though some simple verses could be understood, it might be dangerous.

Two days had already passed for just the first line of the passage making Dean uncomfortable to continue his research on the manual however he was interested on any other knowledge he could get on.

An example would be the mysterious clan called the Zikel Clan or the person his grandpa told him to find, Lily Zikel.

If the library closed then he would look through the manuals Christian had in his Space Ring.

Cultivation in peace was essentially useless only with effects of harmonizing the mind and body.

With how things were progressing, Dean didn't understand why he suddenly felt a lot sadder when there was nothing to do but still entered the library.

He didn't need any of the Magic Spells or Martial Arts Techniques. The one thing he needed was just resources.

They were all listed under the category, Geography which described the locations of the many kingdoms or countries.

However due to the change in power that can happen at anytime, some of these facts may be untrue.

Especially for smaller towns that could be vulnerable to the attacks of bandits and turn into a desolate waste.

Dean tried to look for the most appealing book but books describing geographical locations was not appealing for most especially with bland covers.

The best he could do was look for the much newer books that seemed well tended and had relevant information that he currently knew.

It was clearly labelled into sections, allowing Dean to go through the book without a hassle however with a clue being the Zikel Clan, he had no choice but to individually check each label.

He could skip parts such as the 'Author's introduction' or 'Continents' as it was very unlikely for a clan to own a whole continent.
