Chapter 145 – Smart Ogres

  Arveo the local library, which was easy enough to find. Based orainer's and, she came here to find ahe Book of Fire, because she needed a more precise kind of attack if she was ever to harm an enemy without getting too close. She had to learn the Laser Shot ability, and she had to learn it within the day, because she really in the uping battles!

  However, it was easy to get distracted around here. The local library that she entered was about a hundred meters wide, and it’s said to tain tless works, from magic books, to various manuals, to literary fis! It had it all, but unsurprisingly, magic books filled up more than half of the library.

  Anyone could e and study here, as long as they would treat the books gently. There were plenty of guards in the library too, who often checked on people to see if everything was in w order. They protected the books, the magical books specifically.

  “So muowledge, and it's all stashed within a random p Valporovus… Even I didn't know that this library was so huge, it’s absurd how well-read they are. This makes me wonder how much they respect their gods around here, because this is the most progressive town I’ve ever seen! People aren't scared to practice magic here, so maybe the church is just for show?” Arvena thought, as she tried to see things from many, different perspectives.

  “I guess it doesn't matter how accessible the library is at the end of the day. I 't bee an illusionist even if I tried, some things really are geic, or exclusive. I doubt that there are more than a few versions of illusion books here, those bastards keep their cards close to their chest!” She further thought.

  Regarding the accessibility of the library, Arvena ended up seeing a couple of iing things throughout the day. The book she was reading was iing, but her attentio swirling because of the iing city guests that visited the library!

  Arvena saw a rge ogre ehe library, and the ently walked across the wooden floor, as in not to disturb anyone who was studying. It arent that the ogre came to study here as well, and this was beyond amazing to witness, the ogre seemed genuinely happy to be here! Although he was a stunning seveall, he still observed the library's rules. The stone pilrs within this library allowed the structure to be very tall, so this pce could welost creatures as long as they could fit through the dres included!

  “No wohe doors were so tall,” She thought.

  Anyway, the ogre theched a couple of books that were more his size, and sat on the floor afterwards, because no chair here would ever be able to support him. He then started reading, and didn't make a single sound.

  Arvena was beyond intrigued, so she snuck around to figure out what book the ogre was reading, but she was dumbfounded afterwards, as she couldn't find an ahe book was written in a different nguage that she couldn’t uand, or at least that's what she figured out from the rge book's title. She couldn’t uand it.

  “That book is written in their own tongue,” A guard suddenly said, he had been following her, as it was his duty to keep the library as orderly as possible. “Our library has tless transtions which various species have helped us transte, we have a det, multi-lingual colle.”

  “Indeed you do.” Arvena added, she almost knocked a shelf down in panic. “I guess it makes more sense for him to read in his nguage rather than our own, but, I still wonder what an ogre possibly be reading about? I'm speechless.”

  The guard had an answer, as having ao questions like these was also part of his job, so he expined. “Well, I 't read the title either, but based on that book’s color scheme, he should be reading about elemental summoning. He doesn't want to shoot fireballs or anything like that, but rather, he wants to summon a bunch of rocks out of thin air, boulders too. A mountaihat's one of the categories ial summoning, while masters of this Are Art just summon gold for themselves. Ogres tend to build whole enviros.”

  The guard gave her many examples, he went into this topid expihings rather thhly. But it didn't look like he wao have a versation here, his gaze ierg, and based on how formally he spoke, he expected discipline from everyone, including her.

  Arvena picked up on those hints, so she stopped stalking the ogre, a back to her seat. She figured that if she did anything else that would challehe rules here, she would get kicked out, and that was the st thing she wanted, regardless if she wao be here or not.

  With that sidered, although she didn't bother anyone, she still saw a few more unique guests entering the library. She saw orcs, a couple of molten dwarves, and even anre, so at this point she believed that almost any creature could study magic if there was a book they could uand, or some sort of instrus that a trainer could offer them. She saw tless possibilities here, but it wasn't like she po open up a school for sheep and oryway, so she finally started reading more of the book that she had picked up.

  After about two hours, Arvena hadn’t made much progress, she hadn't even flipped through five pages so far. Not only that, she hasn't even found the chapter about the Laser Shot ability yet, so it was fair to say that she was very unproductive today. To make things worse, she then saw something that murdered her productivity all together, she saw a human!

  “I didn't know humans visited our universe,” She muttered, and ogled this five-foot tall dy, who strode the halls of the library with a seven-foot long, royal cape following her. “I guess Tim would love to meet one of those? He's been yapping about humans for weeks now, he really wants to bee one, but god, I don't see the charm. Hypothermia get to this dy even with all those clothes over her skin, she looks so weak...”

  Arvena theed if she should tell Timothy about what she saw here, she debated if it was worth the risk to make him all happy ahusiastic. The group was iy doing tasks that they didn't want to do already, and with that sidered, she figured that Tim would drag them into all sorts of rouble just to figure out where this human came from, and in hindsight, that was not worth their time. Furthermore, they couldn't affetting kicked out of the city, especially now when they were so close to lifting the Mark of Death off of their souls!

  “He's going to have tive me,” She thought, and decided to keep what she saw a secret. “Let’s hope he doesn’t run into her.”
