Chapter 40 - Library
Just after a small talk, they rested for the afternoon. Their long trip mostly drained their mental energy and body. Just for sitting, it also takes their energy.
Aaron asked to leave her side to study the surrounding. Not just the surroundings but the environment they are in.
He ventured through the whole large mansion. Painting from halls appeared to his vision, as there are also marvelous vases and sculptures that he can see, he seems to enjoy the trip.
Maids are all over the mansion, not in an exaggeration of telling that the mansion was full of maids, each corner of the mansion has a designated maid to manage in.
Wealth can be seen everywhere. As he floats in the air, although being an invisible being, he still can manage to open doors. Creepy as to see, so sure that anyone who sees it won't get a nice sleep at night.
The blue pixie body of Aaron just flies, entering the different rooms, he searched for a library. When finally finds it, he excitedly entered it.
A door in red and carpet texture appeared to be the door of the library. He slightly pushed it, enough for him to fit.
A library full of shelves, as there are arranged shelves in the middle of the room. There are at least four huge shelves with three decks and two rows of them, which in total is eight.
But it wasn't the only shelves available, on the walls, there are also shelve stick into it. And a second-floor appeared to be as the additional room. However, it was an open story, only half of the size of the room, and a way to climb up was spiral stairs made of metals.
It was an amazing room to be precise, his emotion was just full of happiness as he is a book lover himself. Seeing this plenty of books, was just enough for him to spoil.
"Wow... so obviously, Ellena joining here benefits me too."
More to his excitement, he started to pick one of the books. Starting from history.
Looking at the line of books, he picked a blue-covered book with thick pages. Paper is really an expensive material in this type of era, if paper represents wealth, this library is the wealthiest.
He started flipping the book, he read through it and used the implanted knowledge to read the letters of this world.
The history of the county, a lucky pick for him since he wants to study it.
Starting from it, the history of the County Lumbert started 300 years ago when the Avion Dukedom where the County lies was created. Since 300 years ago was an era of land expansion, a baron at that time received a piece of land.
Through his contribution from building the dukedom, he was rewarded a promotion in ranks, and now at the present, it is the County Lumbert.
County Lumbert started to bloom 270 years ago when a trading galleon from another continent visited the dukedom. At that time, they were skeptical about trading with some foreigners, but since the head of the Lumbert family at that time took the risk of trading with them, they succeed in the trading industry, and now at the present time was one of the most trusted routes in trading.
It was just a short summary of it, the whole book contains more of the details of individuals of the previous heads.
However, Aaron just focuses more on the context, rather than the people in it, they are basically dead people, why would he bother.
After reading it, he started browsing more books, floating in the air, seems to be no tomorrow for him. Picking one book at a time then reads, he almost used the whole afternoon in reading books.
Perhaps already 10 books, he stopped reading. He noticed that he almost used the remaining time for resting, he also saw the blue light of Ellena from afar moving.
'That was informative.' He smiled after putting the last book he read.
He just read books from history to geography. Since he already patched up everything, he made a conclusion about the County Territory.
The territory has 6 barons and 4 viscounts under them. Also having one-fourth of the whole dukedom, they appear to be surrounded by foresty.
He started moving, leaving the library he loves, then head in the direction where Ellen was.
However, on the way, he saw a group of teens wearing expensive clothes — they appeared like nobles. And being curious, he flew near them then listened to their conversation.
They are 5 in total, 3 males and 2 females. A one with brown hair male speaks, he heard a husky but not gibberish voice.
"A new one arrived?"
Being more curious, Aaron thought that they are talking about Ellena. When he felt something off, he started to get near the group.
"Wait, you should not talk about it right now. We are outside the room, refrain from talking." A female cut him. The girl appeared to be the same age as Ellena, her eyes were strong blue and her hair was ginger orange.
'What are they talking about? Was it perhaps about the third-generation group Amber was talking about?'
"Hey, we're here." They halt at a dead end; they held each other hands.
After they held their hands, a light from a rune of one of the teens glowed, and just a second, they totally disappeared.
"What the hell!" Aaron swore as he was surprised at the sudden disappearance of the group.
"Was it one of their ability? That was sick!"
However, even if he was surprised, he was still focused on his plan of going back to Ellena.
Appeared to wonder, he just swayed his head to forget about what he saw. 'If I remember that ability, it cost a lot since it is a spatial magic ability.'
Moving on, he continues to head to Ellena. Reaching a wide dining room, there appeared the girls lined up, sitting in the chairs in front of a long table.
'Welcome back.' He heard Ellena greeting him.
"Yup, so what's new?"
'Grandma is going to announce something. I'm just curious where are others. From Amber's words, the third-generation seems to be plenty.'
"Well, I have something to tell you. I just saw a group of teens and they feel something different. They even vanished in the thin air."
Not showing her surprised expression, she calmly answered Aaron in his mind. 'That's amazing.'
"You're right. And I'm also getting excited." Aaron responds in a joyful tone.
A few seconds later, Lushana entered the dining room with someone following her. "Hi, my grandchildren.. Hope you rest well, let's talk about your future."
