Ronald didn't linger too long on the first floor.

His eyes roughly swept around the bookshelves on the lowest floor, and then he walked up the spiral staircase inside the building.

The books in the library are varied and complex.

Even a few glances on the way upstairs contained enough information to confuse people's heads.

As he continued to make his way to the top of the library, Ronald noticed something interesting. Inside the walls of this building, there is a very calm magic that lingers, which is supposed to be the defensive technique used by the church to protect the books in the library.

“……”

"No wonder there are only a few people in the monastery......"

sighed in a whisper.

Ronald soon made his way to the very top floor of the library.

As he had expected, the books here had a sense of antiquity and staleness just by looking at their appearance, and the framing of the books was far less advanced and tidy than the brand-new books at the bottom, and some of them were even manuscripts with separate pages tied together and then stored flat on the shelves.

However, in this complex library, I glanced all the way to the past.

The initial brilliance in Ronald's eyes began to fade.

The Church's collection of books is indeed quite rich, but just like the Book Study Society or the Bureau of Investigation, the things here are basically entirely from after the Dark Ages, and there is no record of them before that.

Did you think about it......

Or is it that the church's library has the same limitations?

Pacing back and forth in front of the topmost shelves, Ronald's messy footsteps sounded like a disgruntled bow sliding over a rough string.

Although he would love to know more about the history.

But if you don't get a record of the pre-Dark Ages, it's honestly very disappointing.

"Huh......?"

Suddenly, a puzzled voice came out of Ronald's mouth.

When he looked up inadvertently, he saw the translucent panel on the roof of the library.

It was a material he had never seen before, unlike glass or plastic.

While maintaining the conical roof, the material also has excellent light transmittance, and even after processing the light, the entire library does not appear too dark in the light.

So here's the problem.

Judging from the industrial standards of this era, this material is certainly not a product processed in a factory.

Not an industrial product......

That is the creation of the mysterious side?

With this design on the roof of the church's library and a defensive spell on the walls, could it be that under such a complete and unified architectural design, there would be a plain brick and wood structure underneath?

And such a building would only be used to store these books?

Let's take a look down there......

Shifting his gaze downward, Ronald squinted slightly as he recalled what he had seen today.

If you think about it and compare it, you can see one thing.

- There are differences in the size of the monastery buildings.

- The building above that houses the books is much wider than the entrance corridor below.

Underneath the long row of upward escalators, there was clearly plenty of space at the rear. If you compare it with the building area seen from the outside before Ronald entered the monastery, there seems to be quite a lot of space in the wall below the library!

Something is hidden here?

With a very casual movement, he loaded two books from the shelves that he hadn't read yet, and Ronald turned around and walked downstairs.

Probably because there aren't many people who come here to read.

In the time that Ronald had been going back and forth, no other clergy had been seen in the library.

"Hmmm......"

Confirming that no one around him was paying attention, Ronald boldly reached through the crack in the staircase and knocked on the wall behind him.

Knock Knock Knock –

As soon as the voice came, the results were obvious.

This kind of percussion sound is obviously not unique to physical buildings.

Sure enough, behind the corridor at the entrance of the first floor of the library, there is still a mezzanine that is not open!

"There really is......

Confirming this, the choice before Ronald is simple.

Otherwise, try to get into the hidden space behind and see what is inside without attracting the attention of the church; Otherwise, negotiate openly and see if there is an opportunity for the church to open its collection to itself.

The former has a higher risk, and there is a high probability that it will directly offend the church as an organization.

But Ronald, with his own ability, is also sure to find such an opportunity.

The latter has a low probability of success, but it is not a risky option.

“……”

"Huh-"

Shaking his head with a smile, Ronald chose the latter without question.

To take it without telling it is to steal.

The church gave him the qualifications to read all kinds of books here, and if he infiltrated it like a thief destroying the other party's technique......

This way is certainly beneficial to himself, but Ronald is absolutely unacceptable psychologically.

This is not playing the Legend of Sword and Fairy.

Break into anyone's house on the side of the road, and you have to loot it all.

After briefly looking at the two books in his hand, Ronald put them back in the place where they had been removed, and then walked out alone towards the courtyard of the monastery.

Through the introduction of the old man before, he came directly to a room with people in the back.

Stretching out his right hand, Ronald knocked on the door three times very politely according to etiquette.

Bang Bang

"Is anyone there?"

“……”

"Mr. Ronald?"

There was a quick reaction in the room.

However, it was not the old man who had received Ronald before, but another monk who looked a little younger, probably forty or fifty years old, walked out.

His eyes flicked back and forth over Ronald in front of him.

The monk asked with some hesitation:

"You should be reading in the library, is there something going on with me?"

Ronald was very candid:

"That's right, I'd like to see the more secret books under the library, can the church allow it?"

The middle-aged monk's expression was visibly stunned.

"Hey......?"

"This ...... This ......"

"If it were you, you would have found out."

From the initial astonishment, the monk's tone gradually softened.

Then he sighed and shook his head, and then he continued:

"Mr. Ronald, there are some special books under our library. However, those things must be submitted and allowed to be accessed. We understand your request, but if this matter is notified, it will take at least a week or so for the results to come back. ”

Ronald responded with a smile:

"Then I'll bother you with this."

"This week, I will borrow books in the library in peace, and there will be no transgression."

In the face of Ronald's attitude, the monk also seemed to be relieved and nodded:

"In that case, thank you for your understanding."
