Chapter 74: 073 Guild Library Afterward, Shane shared with Vivian and the others the conversation he had with Laischa at the Huaming Pavilion. Of course, Shane only revealed part of it. He didn’t disclose the fact that he would be collaborating with Laischa to destroy the main forces of the Old Demon Clan Faction. If he had laid all that out, Vivian and the others would surely not have agreed to it, right? “Even so, it’s still a collaboration with a wanted criminal,” he thought. Just contemplating it gave Shane an uneasy feeling. Shane even wondered if this could also be part of Laischa’s scheme. Otherwise, if Laischa had disclosed her identity from the beginning, Shane would have definitely considered it further before agreeing to such a thing. ... However, Shane made Laischa’s personal intentions very clear. “That person seems to be avoiding the Old Demon Clan Faction’s pursuit in order not to let the artifact be misused, so her appearance in Lamijion probably doesn’t have any other purpose.” Shane conveyed this matter to Vivian and the others for the time being. Still, if possible, Shane really wanted to complain. “If you don’t want the artifact to be misused, then why steal it from the Royal City in the first place?” It was utterly pointless. Naturally, that’s what he thought, but Shane was well aware that there had to be a deeper story behind it all, or else it wouldn’t have led to this outcome. And Shane might be somewhat involved in this deeper story, and if he continued to engage with it, he might uncover something. Unfortunately, Shane had no intention of doing so. “As the saying goes, the more you know, the more dangerous it gets. Those kinds of secrets that can mess up your whole life are better left to hell.” For the reasons above, Shane had no interest in delving into the intrigue. At least, not right now. “There’s a large library on the third floor of the guild, which houses many useful books for adventurers to use; you should take a look when you’re free.” This news made Shane’s eyes light up. Why did Shane choose to become an adventurer in the first place? Apart from needing to resolve the issue of his status, wasn’t it to gather various pieces of information through the channel of the adventurer’s guild? Now, that purpose had come into play. “I always say, reality is different from novels; adventurers need to solve various commissions and possess knowledge in many areas, such as how to dissect demon materials or how to identify various magic items, and so on. There’s bound to be a channel that allows adventurers to understand and learn.” Originally, Shane had thought the guild relied on the old bringing up the new, having seniors teach the juniors this knowledge, but now it seemed the guild provided this assistance in a more convenient form. Perhaps, this was also something Riley, someone who liked to be well-prepared, had specifically arranged? Regardless, this was extremely useful for Shane. “There’s no time like the present; I’ll make use of it without hesitation.” Having made up his mind, Shane immediately went to the third floor of the guild after Vivian’s Team had dispersed. ... Third floor of the guild, library. This was an exceedingly vast space. The bookshelves were neatly arranged like a long dragon, stretching into the depths beyond sight. Books, both new and old, lay quietly on the many shelves, emitting a unique musty fragrance of paper and ink. “It really is huge,” Shane remarked upon arriving, a touch of amazement in his voice as he looked at the expanse of the place, more akin to a city of books than a library. Inside, many adventurers seemed to be making use of the facility as well, standing before crystal-like magic tools, confirming something, and then spreading out toward the bookshelves. Filled with curiosity, Shane stepped forward to one of the magic tools and discovered it was a directory displaying the types of books and which direction they were located in, along with the precise location on the shelves. “It’s quite sophisticated,” Shane said with a smile, and then began to check the directory.
