Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1575 - 1094: Is It Really That Lonely?

What is a library?

It’s literally just a storeroom used to collect books.

Reiger has been to many libraries of different forces, so he knows that the library Melo mentions now refers to places that hold precious books.

However, he doesn’t quite understand why Melo brings up the library at this time.

"It seems you haven’t realized," Melo appears to discern the confusion in Reiger’s heart, chuckles softly, and says: "For any force, the library used to store books is extremely important."

"Like the Imperial Palace’s library, it houses precious books from countless places across the entire Careadohart Empire and countless ages."

"It includes but is not limited to... guidance books used for training, magic books recording various magical spells, enlightenment books on various magical technologies, and records documenting secret histories, truly all-encompassing."

Melo’s words bring some realization to Reiger.

He almost forgot that on the Akasha continent or in the Source World, libraries in major forces are not just mere libraries; they are also treasure rooms.

This is because guidance books for training, magic books recording various magical spells, enlightenment books on magical technologies... these are true treasures, the foundation that allows a force to develop.

Even Franzel’s villa library holds various sword technique books and magic books, which clearly guide people on the path of sword techniques and learning magic, involving one’s future and determining one’s strength.

If a force does not have such a repository to guide its members internally, that force will hardly be strong, let alone develop.

Even in Loki’s Familia main base, in the hall of twilight, there is a library housing a vast collection of books.

The library there contains tales of some heroes, introductions and explanations of various places on the continent, and also detailed records of usage techniques and knowledge of magic, all extremely precious.

Reiger’s skills in parallel chanting and fast chanting of magical applications are learned swiftly partly because he had guidance from a strong magic guide like Revilia, and also because he found relevant books in the Familia base, giving him an opportunity to self-learn.

Therefore, regardless of other worlds, on the Akasha continent and Source World, almost every force has constructed libraries, and the bigger the force, the more precious their library, even more so than a true treasury or vault.

On the Akasha continent side, Reiger is also waiting to enter the Tistis Kingdom’s royal library to search for books related to Hidden Land.

After coming to this world, Reiger similarly spent several days in the Holy Sword Church’s library to roughly understand this world, and learn about the piece of shared history between the two worlds from eleven thousand years ago.

Thus, trying to find clues related to Reinnaier’s clan and the demise of ancient magical civilization in this Great Saint Palace should logically start from this palace’s library.

It’s the place most likely to have recorded something, or left something behind.

Reiger hasn’t thought of this for a simple reason.

"When I entered the rear hall, I summoned a large number of magical creatures to explore around, yet only found a study, not the library," Reiger shook his head, saying: "The things in that study were almost all destroyed, so I think, perhaps the Great Saint Palace’s library has also suffered misfortune?"

Because there was no place resembling a library, Reiger did not initially have the thought to search for it.

But this was his mistake.

"The Great Saint Palace is where generations of saviors have resided; there must be a library here," Naisa picked up where Melo left off, and solemnly informed Reiger: "If you haven’t found it, then it means one thing."

"The Great Saint Palace’s library is hidden," Beluti also continued from Naisa’s statement, informing Reiger: "This is something any force would do; precious libraries will certainly be hidden by some method, not letting outsiders easily know its location."

That’s the case with the library in Franzel’s villa, if not for Yuri’s permission, Reiger couldn’t enter even if he stood at the library door.

Tistis Kingdom’s royal library requires pre-unsealing, taking about a day or so before entry is allowed.

Clearly, the library in this Great Saint Palace also has similar defense mechanisms.

"I believe that given the status of the Great Saint Palace in this empire, the library’s defense measures here are definitely top-level, comparable to the library of the palace," Melo analyzed, saying: "Most powerful and influential forces, when constructing their library’s defenses, will usually consider how to deal with the library if invaded or the main base falls."

It definitely can’t be allowed to benefit the enemy.

"I’m not sure about others, but the library in Careadohart Empire’s palace has self-destruct protocols; if the palace falls one day and is trampled by enemies, the library will automatically burn."
