Strings Of Domination - Chapter 102

Miles and Amy felt slightly puzzled when they heard the words of Nash as they didn’t understand that currently what was more important than finding the others who could possibly be in danger even at this very moment as they talked.

After all, they were humans too, ones without their Legacy unsealed thus even the weakest beast at the Infant Rank could kill them much less a Dimensional Creature if they meet with one accidentally!

Nash, naturally, understood their confusion, and after looking around and seeing that there was no one around he began to tell the two what he has seen during his time back in the Emerald Palace and what task he was trusted by Aruer.

He explained everything as detailed but as briefly as he could, but even like that he needed at least 5 minutes to finish speaking. And once he did, although he did not see the complexions of the two in front of him, he was pretty sure they were deeply shocked.

After thinking for a while, Amy looked Nash straight into his eyes and asked, “And where do you think this… this library is?”

“I do not have clue yet, but when we came out of the Mystic Hall of Mastery I noticed a huge building in the far distance. If my memory does not fail me, it was called Grand Library.”

“And you really think we can find something that was lost for thousands of years in there?” Amy asked, her voice holding both her confusion and doubt.

Nash shrugged at that question and starting to walk toward a specific direction, he said, “I don’t. I just have this feeling if we go there at least we will be able to find a clue where to search next.”

Miles and Amy looked at each other, but as they had no other choice nor things to do they could only sigh and follow Nash quickly.

Neo City was the capital of Planet Gaia and while its size was not as large as most capitals in the Ancient Dimension or cities on home planets inside various dimensions, it still had a massive size, one that sprawled out over almost 7,000 square miles!

From above one would even think it was an entire country filled with only buildings, showing just how ridiculously large and massive it was!

The city itself was filled with numerous skyscrapers, one that had a modern and rather catchy style, one that was the polar opposite to some of the buildings in the Ancient Dimension where buildings were built out of bricks, rocks, wood, and numerous plants!

Furthermore, although only a few came to the Human Dimension as it was still a newly opened dimension and hardly had any planets with strong creatures on them because of its uniqueness in contrast to the various other dimensions many liked to come here just to relax or either go around sightseeing.

After all, not every race liked to kill and fight non-stop and many wished to relax and find places where they could rest and soothe their minds, and the Human Dimension was one of the perfect places for such desires!

Therefore, many facilities such as luxurious hotels, spas, resorts, restaurants, or even places where one could fight with one another out of fun were built and even these were only a few from among the hundreds of possibilities one could choose from!

And among these possibilities was the Grand Library, a place where tens of thousands of scrolls, books, and ancient texts resided, waiting to be read and learned by others. It was a real paradise for those that wished to fill their minds with numerous things such as history, science, alchemy, pharmacy, or something entirely different!

“So this is the Grand Library?” Miles mumbled with awe as he stood before this humungous building which towered high above, almost reaching the clouds above!

The Grand Library, just like 90% of the buildings everywhere inside Neo City, was a huge skyscraper. However, as every building was constructed from different material, this one was designed from other too, seemingly built out of light blue steel which Nash easily recognized; it was Sea Metal, a rather durable metal that could be shaped and forged pretty easily, allowing one to create anything out of it let it be weapons, buildings, or even different artifacts!

Nash looked at the massive size of the building with the same awed complexion as Miles but after a few seconds, his face quickly changed back to indifference and lowered his gaze.

“Let’s go inside.”

With those words, Nash quickly grabbed the handle of each glass door and pushed it open, immediately revealing a breathtaking interior which neither he nor Amy nor Miles expected to see!

Although the name Grand Library indicated that one would see an enormous interior with numerous floors, each filled with hundreds of bookshelves and thousands of books and scrolls on them, this was not the case at all.

Just like during their first time entering the Mystic Hall of Mastery, this time too when they entered the building they found themselves in a completely different space! However, this time it was not a huge hall with five gates on each side, but a vast white platform with several pillars placed in a tidy manner!

Each pillar was at least fifty meters tall with a staircase going around it all the way to its top while on its sides several gaps filled with books, scrolls, or tablets were placed, each differing in size, shape, and color!

“Welcome to the Grand Library dear guests, my name is Calin. How can I be of service to the three of you?”

As Nash, Miles, and Amy glanced around with awe a humanoid creature with cat ears and a tail appeared in front of them, her yellow eyes staring at them with curiosity.

Nash upon seeing the sudden appearance of Calin glanced at her Indicator and inspected her Emotion Levels.

‘67% happiness? Not that high, unfortunately.’ Nash thought as he felt slightly disappointed.

He knew that Calin hailed from the Amure Race, a humanoid race where creatures were hybrids between humans and different animals such as cats, dogs, wolves, and rabbits while having a Legacy that allowed them to tame beasts with relative ease.

“We would like to learn about the Ancient Era,” Nash said, his voice indifferent.

“The Ancient Era?” Calin’s ears perked up when he heard the two words and said, “Yeah, we have quite a lot of scrolls and texts about the Ancient Era and even have also a few tablets that originate from that era.”

“Great, then can you please show us where we can find them?” Amy asked from Nash’s right.

“Of course, but before I can lead you the way, the three of you need to pay three Space Jade Crystals.”

“What? We have to pay to read?” Miles asked and mumbled quietly, “That is quite the bullshit I have heard so far.”

Calin’s mouth twitched at that remark but despite her Anger Level increasing all the way to 50% she showed a smile and said, “Unfortunately, that is the rule the owner set and I cannot change it.”

“I see, then we have no choice.” Nash sighed as he took three black crystals into his hand and handed it to Calin but was secretly glad that Miles was able to alter Calin’s emotion to such a degree.

“Thank you very much! Then please follow me.” Calin showed a smile that revealed her white but seemingly sharp teeth and after turning around walked away alongside with her tail swaying from side to side.

The three followed Calin through the sea of pillars and after walking for five minutes she stood before a black pillar, one that was relatively smaller than the rest.

“Here we are. You will be able to find anything here but if you have any questions feel free to call my name.” after saying those words, Calin turned back around and walked away.

Once she was out of sight, Nash looked at the black pillar and said, “Okay, let’s search for information.”

With those words, the trio began to ascend the stairs and read each book, scroll, and jade plates one by one.

Planet Nelea.

Inside the sole city of Planet Nelea, Amael was sitting behind a small desk with several holograms displaying various recordings in front of him, each seemingly being a live feed.

“Lord Amael, we have arrived.” as Amael was watching the holograms with a nonchalant face, the door on the sides opened and two figures walked in a female and male fairy.

“Report.”

“Yes!” Alina nodded and glanced at Mitah on her side, gesturing for him to talk.

“As you wanted, we have increased the searching units by three-folds while we have also personally scoured the entire western, northern, and southern regions,” Mitah spoke in a clear and calm voice, but if one looked straight into his eyes one would easily notice how anxious he was at the moment.

Well, considering that he was currently standing in front of a being capable of erasing his entire existence with a single punch, it made quite the sense why he was so tense.
