After several days of travel, a horse-drawn carriage arrived at the outer gates of the All Things Library.
Two people descended from the carriage.
The first to step down was a handso man with long, luxurious golden hair tied into a braid that fell upon his spacious red cloak; he wore light armor that was convenient for movent, decorated with cyan and white engravings that exuded an ancient and profound aura.
Stably landing on the ground, the man extended his hand towards the carriage, and a pair of delicate jade hands reached out from within, resting on the man’s hand, allowing a girl dressed in plain clothing and a belt pouch around her waist to safely disembark onto the blue stone pavent.
With slightly curly orange hair and deep blue eyes set in an angelic face reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun, the girl stood at about one ter fifty-eight, an average height among won.
They told the coachman to return, and the two of them walked together towards the gates.
The magician guarding the gate demanded a retaining fee, but the man lightly raised his hand, and an emblem depicting a Holy Sword appeared in his palm.
The guard frowned upon seeing the emblem.
Any magician with so knowledge knew this was the badge of the Village of Heroes.
The All Things Library had an unwritten rule that anyone carrying the Village of Heroes badge must contact the Library’s upper echelons upon arrival.
Of course, the guards didn’t dare neglect them and asked the pair to wait for a mont while they hurriedly ran into the duty room to contact the higher-ups of the Library via a Crystal Ball.
While the guards were busy contacting the higher-ups, the man struck up a conversation with the girl beside him.
“We’ve finally arrived at the All Things Library, although it took quite so ti.
It seems necessary to learn so Flying Magic.”
“The horses we rode are the finest breeds from Serti, capable of traveling a thousand miles a day; I didn’t find it slow at all.
The reason for our delay was purely that Lord Vorquis couldn’t bear to ignore those in need and took the ti to help them,” said the girl with a secretive smile.
“Even if Lord Vorquis mastered Flying Magic, he would definitely slow down to help others.”
“You’re not wrong there,” Vorquis replied with a smile.
“Although that’s part of the reason, learning Flying Magic is still essential.
Otherwise, we’d be helpless against aerial foes.
Little Love, it’s best you learn so too.”
Hearing Vorquis’s suggestion, the girl known as Little Love slightly furrowed her brows, her expression one of regret,
“I don’t have much magical talent; mastering Flying Magic would likely take a long ti, and Alchemy suits better.
Besides, even if I don’t learn Flying Magic, Lord Vorquis would certainly rush to my side and protect if I faced any trouble.”
The smile on her face was endearing, and with a companion who trusted him so completely, Vorquis couldn’t let down her expectations.
“That’s true, your talent in Alchemy is astonishing, and I shouldn’t force you to learn Flying Magic.
If danger arises, I will protect you imdiately.
Please stay by my side and support .”
“Lord Vorquis…”
With cheeks blushing, Little Love shyly lowered her head.
She slowly reached out her hand, just about to step forward to grasp Vorquis’s hand and bring their relationship a step closer when the guard who had gone to communicate with the Library’s high-ups returned.
With no other choice, Little Love withdrew her extended hand.
The returning guard not only inford them that everything was already taken care of but also brought with him a young man with tan skin.
That young man was dressed as a magician, his muscles subtly bulging beneath his magic robe, making him appear quite muscular.
The young man bowed respectfully to Vorquis and Little Love and introduced himself, “I am the emissary sent by the All Things Library to greet you both, my na is Dian Wen.
You have been waiting here for quite so ti, so allow to take you to et with the Library’s elders.
Please, be prepared.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a trendous surge of magic power cascaded from Dian Wen’s body, enveloping Vorquis and Little Love as gently as wrapping a dumpling.
Before the two could even react, Dian Wen lifted off the ground and soared high into the air, then, with a tug of magic, he drew Vorquis and Little Love up into the sky, flying towards the direction of the Elder Council.
Their bodies floated lightly in the air, the scenery swiftly passing by.
Vorquis felt a sense of déjà vu flying through the sky like this.
But to ascend directly without the aid of any tools was a first-ti experience for Vorquis.
Unexpectedly, it was a bit uncomfortable.
Riding on Dian Wen’s flying magic, Vorquis felt as if he was firmly fixed in place, and it wasn’t as free as he had imagined, like a bird without any restraints.
Little Love next to Vorquis appeared quite at ease.
Being carried through the high skies was an everyday affair for her.
Excitent filled her the first ti, but after becoming accustod to it, she found it not too surprising.
It could even feel like a middle-aged couple wishing it would end sooner rather than later.
As they flew over dense forests, the realm under the All Things Library truly erged before Vorquis’s eyes—a tall, pillar-like, signature building standing erect in the center of the Library, its dark blue glazed tiles sparkling in the setting sun.
Vorquis felt he had seen that before too.
“Is that the All Things Library?
It’s quite different from what I imagined.
It looks just like a skyscraper.”
Hearing a term she had never heard before, Little Love tilted her head slightly,
“Skyscraper?
Lord Vorquis, what is that?”
Realizing he had misspoken, Vorquis quickly corrected himself, “That is a building ntioned in a novel from Hero Village, aning a tall building that reaches into the sky.
Sorry, I just ntioned so words you don’t know.”
“That’s perfectly fine, rather, Lord Vorquis knows quite a lot.
The people from the Village of Heroes surely wouldn’t just make up words; those words must have their own special anings.
If Lord Vorquis has the ti, perhaps you could teach those words.
They might co in handy in the future.”
Vorquis nodded and agreed to Little Love’s request.
Half an hour later, under Dian Wen’s guidance, Vorquis and Little Love arrived safely at the Library’s Elder Council without incident.
Inside the grand hall, nurous magicians sat scattered about, and several others were arriving continuously via teleportation magic.
Upon seeing Vorquis, while sizing up this handso man, they hastily entered the hall and took their seats.
Not all elders had co to this place.
So elders were dispatched to various parts of the world to collect and organize knowledge; others were tied up with many tasks and unable to make it, but those absent elders did not affect the decision-making process.
What truly influenced decisions were the elders of the Special asures Committee.
Their negotiations with the fairies were nearing an end, and almost everyone on the Counterasures Committee was closely watching the negotiations between Yang Yu and the Fairy King Kaka, only sending one or two representatives to welco Vorquis and Little Love.
