Malevolent Warlock: Sin Of Eternity

Chapter 166: Pleasant Surprise

Soon, Leon was taken down below to the second level of the library and was handed back his library card which was now engraved with the title.

Scholar

"Hmmm, didn’t expect that" Leon mused before glancing at the level 5 existence at the top of the library.

A level 5 existence was rare even in the Undergod territory. Of course he didn’t know about the Undergod monastery itself....but existences like these couldn’t be so cheaply seen.

There was definitely something more to his presence here.

"Kid, over here." One of the two bald men whom had lead Leon to the second level of the library snapped his fingers calling his attention over.

"Oh yeah" Leon chuckled and focused on them.

These two guys were hiding their power levels, but Leon could tell by the way they moved, that they were level 3 existences like him.

(I guess they are the old man’s subordinates)

Leon mused, they dressed like him, were bald with monk robes. It wasn’t so hard to put two and two together.

"Everything here is available for you to read, but please do your best not to disturb those before you.....In fact, its best to stay clear of them, they are a bit eccentric." One of the men started Explaining the do’s and don’t of the library’s second level.

They included keeping to yourself, unless he wants to speak to the librarians ( the two bald men)

Not making noise, or causing trouble for them (the librarians)

And a lot of library ethics and the like.

"I understand" Leon bowed slightly at the both of them and smiled. He was hoping that he would get access to better materials, he wouldn’t cause trouble and get himself kicked out.@@@@

"Okay," the two men turned around and walked into the shadows and disappeared like ghosts.

Watching this Leon could only smile and shake his head. There was definitely something fishy going on here, these guys weren’t normal.

But he didn’t have the time to investigate. What he needed to do was get the info he came here for and leave.

"Let’s start over there" Leon mused and walked over to a section to pick up a book and there he began his reading.

Medicinal herbs, terrains around the Undergod territory and sacred lands. These books went into a much deeper depth on the things that interested Leon.

He even saw interesting myths and legends that he wouldn’t see it normally in the outside world. But sadly even this place didn’t have exactly what leon wanted

For example

1. Myths and legends that had to do with immortality

2. Information on powers that had existed for more than 5000 years or since antiquity.

3. Knowledge on the different races on finor world.

What leon wanted was hard to get Information. But he firmly belived that he could get it here.

So be kept on searching.

"They are here" at the top of the library where the old level 5 existence sat, a young man appeared and said.

"The test? What test?" Leon frowned. He didn’t know about the method of advancing to the next floor so he decided to ask the two librarians.

"Aiii, you should have asked someone. Those good for nothing bladheads won’t tell you." The short scrawny man said to Leon. Then he slowly leaned over and whispered.

"There’s a treasure at the bottom of the library and only by passing the tests on each floor will you be allowed to advance to the bottom" the man went on to explain.

They were all here as a last Ditch effort to get the treasure down below, because they were aware of the upcoming war. In which they were sure this place would razed to the ground.

"Ohhh, really?" Leon was surprised. A treasure? He never thought of it. But it kind of made sense. There were still people willing go enter the dukedoms main city even though a war was approaching. Other than fir treasure was there another reason why people would risk themselves like this?

.

"Yes yes, and everyone has an equal chance to get the treasure. Come come let’s go take a look at the test" the old man’s eyes were dodgy as he beckoned Leon to follow him with slight taps on his abdomen.

"Hmm" Leon thought nothing of it and slowly followed the man around the library till they got to a stone slab in a dark corner.

"It’s in Galrush, I’m sure you can read this text right?" The old man showed Leon the stone slab and asked if he knew the language.

Actually, almost everyone here could speak galrush as it was a major language In the Antiquity era. But....Leon didn’t, so he just started at the slab in silence.

"Arg?" Noticing Leon’s pause, the old scrawny man looked confused but soon enough his confusion turned to annoyance and disdain.

Leon couldn’t read galrush? How the hell did this ignorant fool get here in the first place?

(To think i was planning to ride his glory to the next level)

The scrawny old man sneered from behind Leon then slowly he walked away from behind him.

He had wasted time, it was best be continued reading and trying to crack the puzzle.

Meanwhile

[Ding!!!

The system has finished translating from galrush. The message reads.

In shadows deep, where silence dwells,

Death’s icy grip, where darkness swells.

Energies clash, in spells they weave,

A dance of power, in shadows, they believe.

As they congregate and form, a new energy is born.

A poem laid before Leon, one all too familiar.....it had a variety of modifications and interpretation all lost to time and age.

Funny enough, if there was one person that knew of these it would be none other than Leon.

Because what laid before him had roots that ran through Leon’s first set of abilities.

Fu shu magic.
