Chapter 2199: Raiding Books
"A Diamond Sand Lotus," She exclaimed as she opened the crystal box. Her eyes are shocked wide with a burning dėsɨrė to consume the thing.
"I hope it is to your satisfaction," I said, to which she turned at me. "It is more than enough; you can have those gems," She said dismissively before touching the beautiful lotus, which looked like it was made of diamond granules.
It is a powerful Grandmaster-level resource; I was pleasantly surprised when I saw it in the storage of the vidette.
I put the gems into my storage and opened the third and last drawer, which had nothing but dust inside it. With that done, I turned to the last thing on the table, the clay tablet, which Rhea took her in hand.
A second after she did, the clay tablet lit up before disappointed expressions appeared on her face, and she threw the clay tablet at me.
"It is made for you," she said and threw the tablet at me, and I caught it before inserting my energy inside it, which activated it, and its information entered my mind, which had lit up my eyes.
'Tablet of Ten Thousand Puzzles By Jupitar,'
The tablet said, and as it named said, it is a puzzling artifact. I loved these kinds of artifacts; I have collected several of them and finished them. I have a standing request for such tools on the feed, and several masters and Grandmasters have gifted them to me.
I was so excited that I selected the first buzzle, and when I saw the first puzzle, my mind couldn't help but blow away.
The first puzzle is much more difficult than I had imagined it to be; it is on the same level as formation on the gate of this manor. Seeing that, smile on my face couldn't help but brighten up even further.
If the first formation is so difficult, then I couldn't help but imagine how the rest would be, and there are ten thousand of them, which made me extremly excited, and I put the tablet in my storage as it is not the time, I should focus on.
Thankfully, I had already begun breaking the formation on the bookshelves; right after I broke the formation on the table and now close to breaking it,
Buzz!
A few minutes passed by, and I was finally able to break the formation and take out the air-pen. A minute later, the runes stuck on the formation and broke it a moment later, giving me complete access to the hundreds of books on the shelf.
"Let's check out what books these shelves have," I said excitedly and took out the first book, which turned out about herbology. The whole book was on the line about herbology; the next came books about the alchemy, them few books of my runology.
There is also a small section about politics and a lot more books than one should have about fiction; about a quarter of the shelf is about fiction.
"The lady of this manor seems to love fiction, especially of that kind," Rhea said and gave the books she took out.
The proof we have seen so far told us this manor belonged to women, and she loved fiction. She is likely an author, with her favorite genre being adventure ėrȯtɨċa.
Buzz!
By the time I had finished with books on the first shelf, I had broken the formation of the second shelf.
The third shelf is a little different; the formation on it is not complete; it is broken in some parts. If it had been any other thing than the books, I would have not touched them, but since they are books, I will break them, and I am going to be very careful about it.
I want all the books, without getting a single one damaged that th ones already are, so I gave more time solving the formation than I should in such conditions.
It took me about half an hour, but I had created the formation, and after looking at it one more time to be sure about it, I took out the air-pen and began drawing out the runes.
Buzz Buzz Buzz
The formation created and stuck on all the six broken parts of it before it started breaking one after another.
Some of the broken formations shook heavily, and for a moment, I thought they might explode and even create a safe distance from it, but thankfully nothing of that sort had happened. It would have been very painful to see any of these books getting damaged.
My calculations were nearly spot-on, and the margin of error was manageable for the safety net I had created, so not a single book got damaged by the formations.
The third shelf had a lot of fiction books, but there are also many books about runology, and from a few pages I had glanced at, they looked quite interesting.
"Micheal look, the whole collection of books about alcohol making, and I even have the seeds of grapes that mention in this book of about wine," She said, showing me the collection of books.
"So, you are going to make wine?" I asked off-handedly. I have some interest in wine-making and some books about it too, but I have not started as it is notoriously hard that I have nearly abandoned the idea of creating my own wine.
Normal wines are easy to make, but they are useless to me, and the ones I want to create are extremly hard.. The ingredients required to make them are rarely found in the world, and the process is extremly hard that bȧrėly anybody tried to make them.
