119 – Library (2)

Tigris headed home before heading to the Imperial Palace.

Tigris said to Lenny.

“Where is the princess?”

“You are taking care of your pets on the terrace.”

Tigris came out of the living room and looked at Princess Rain Rover through the glass window leading to the terrace.

Rain Rover didn’t even know that Tigris had arrived, and was taking care of his summoned animals.

What has changed since Rain Rover came to this house was that the empty terrace was filled.

When Tigris was not training, he released his pets on the terrace to feed them or bathe them in the sun, but as he watched the scene from afar, he felt a strange, unknown feeling.

Tigris opened the terrace door and approached the Rain Rover.

At that time, the sand fox, which was a gift from Bergan a few months ago, ran towards Tigris.

The sand fox stepped on the air, jumped up, and jumped on Tigris’ shoulder.

The sand fox always tried to get on top of Tigris when she saw it, and no matter how many times she tried to drop it, she persisted on it and eventually gave up.

“uh? Sir Tigris. Did you come early?”

Rain Rover got up handed carrots to the jungle rabbits.

The Rain Rover was not wearing a luxurious dress, but a brown skirt like a country woman would wear.

Rain Rover’s unique high-end and mysterious image and a fresh look, I was amazed every time I saw it.

“Prince! Why don’t you keep riding on Sir Tigris’ shoulder? Come on.”

Despite Rain Rover’s small cry, the Sand Fox smirked and rubbed her face against Tigris’ cheek.

The fur of the sand fox was very warm and fluffy.

Rain Rover sighed and walked over to Tigris and pulled the sand fox away.

“Sorry. I don’t know why our Prince likes Sir Tigris so much.”

“it’s okay.”

Rain Rover said, stroking the sand fox’s head.

“By the way, you seem to have something to say, so why?”

“I want to go to the Imperial Palace library.”

“Are you in the library? Have you already read all those swordsmanship books?”

“no. Not that.”

Tigris said with serious eyes.

“I want to read information related to the Demon King.”

* * *

Rain Rover and Tigris got off the carriage and entered the Imperial Palace.

“Do you need any guidance?”

“it’s okay. Sir Tigris and I want to walk alone.”

“Ah yes. All right.”

Rain Rover gently refused the guidance of the Golden Knights and walked along the road with Tigris.

It was a little hot outside the palace because it was in the middle of late summer to early autumn, but the inside of the palace was pretty cool because it was spring all year round.

Rain Rover opened his mouth when he was quite far from the Golden Knights.

“There is not as much information about the Demon King and related information of the Lucet Empire as I thought. Because 1,300 years is quite a long time, many historical materials have been lost or damaged than expected.”

In the 1,300 years since the end of the Age of Demon Kings, there were 58 kingdoms and empires made up of only humans.

In the meantime, humans fight and disappear, fight over territory with beasts and elves, get crushed by the anger of giants, and even get destroyed in one day by dragons.

For that reason, very few materials related to the Demon King remained intact, and most of the remaining materials were written down by collecting orally handed down, so the reliability was very low.

“If you want accurate information related to the Demon King, you might be better off looking for the Dwarf Archives.”

“I know that. However, it may not be possible to enter the archives right now, and there may be materials that are not in the dwarven archives.”

“Isn’t all the information in the Dwarf’s archives?”

Tigris shook his head.

“no. Materials that can be stored in the Dwarf Archives are subject to certain conditions. Come to think of it, Princess Rain Rover must have never seen the archives.”

“yes. Right. All I know is that it is a relic in the form of a scroll.”

“It is known among humans as a scroll form, but that is not true.”

“yes? So what do you look like?”

“To talk about the archives, I have to explain who the original owner of the relic was. The dwarven archives belong to the original elven race. It was actually born in the constellation of the elves.”

Rain Rover tilted his head.

“You mean elves? But why do we know that it is a Dwarven relic?”

“It is a sacred item of the elves, but they know it because the dwarves managed it and filled it with data.”

“Why did the elves entrust the management of the archives to the dwarves? Isn’t that their holy thing?”

“That’s because the dwarves were once slaves to the elves.”

“ah······.”

Come to think of it, I heard that the Dwarves had been living under persecution by numerous races.

It would be no different for an elf race.

“But it’s strange. If the dwarves were slaves of the elves, I wouldn’t have known about it, right?”

“I heard that some kind of contract was made and freed from slavery in the era before the era of the demon king, that is, in the ‘forgotten era’. From then on, the dwarves began to store their own records in the archives.”

“Then the archives must be full of books written by the Dwarves now.”

“no. The Dwarves did not leave any material in paper books. That was one of the rules for using the elves’ archives.”

“Why did you make such a rule?”

“Because the elves love trees.”

When a tree dies, the elves bury it in the ground for a funeral, and when a tree sprout grows through the ground, they love it so much that they hold a feast.

There was no way such elves would commit the blasphemous act of killing trees and putting the dried paper material into their archives.

“I think so. I’ve read that the reason the elves hate the magical satutimeo is that when he flies, leaves fall.”

“you’re right. So the original archives of the elves were full of stone headstones. If you go into the archives, you can see the tombstones written by the elves thousands of years ago.”

“Oh, that’s very interesting. What did the elves write on the tombstone?”

“Most of the time, the dates of birth and death of trees are written down. Strictly speaking, you can think of the archives as being like an ossuary in human terms.”

“Something like elves. Oh, wait a minute, so the archives were made out of tombstones?”

Tigris nodded.

“you’re right. The archives were made in the form of stele. It’s the size of the palm of your hand and has a replica function that all elves can carry.”

“Wow. It’s very interesting. So, as long as you have the tombstone, is it possible to enter at any time?”

“yes. That’s right.”

Rain Rover thought for a moment before opening his mouth.

“Then the dwarves must have left their records with stones instead of paper?”

“no. It is said that the Dwarves left records with iron plates. Now that the elves are extinct, we can put paper instead of iron, but we are still putting only records made of iron in the archives.”

“Oh my gosh······.”

“But, there is one exception.”

“An exception? Maybe it was made of paper?”

“yes. To be precise, it is made of a scroll. It’s the adventure story of Pereira.”

“Why did you leave Pereira’s adventures on paper?”

“Because it’s Pereira who saved the world tree from going extinct. So, as an exception, only one adventure story written by Pereira is stored in a special container with permanent preservation magic.”

“Then what about the swordsmanship hose? Didn’t Sir Tigris say that he saw the swordsmanship of Hoth in the archives?”

“It was written down by the dwarves on an iron plate.”

“Aha, it must have been really hard to translate it. So where is the original paper?”

“There is not.”

“yes? Don’t you have that?”

“That is the rule for all the material that goes into the archives. Only one and only one material can enter this world.”

“Why are there such rules?”

“The archives are technically a tomb of trees. When we make tombs, don’t we make one or two? So only one original can be entered into the archives.”

Rain Rover thought for a moment before opening his mouth.

“What if we put it in the archives and rewrite it? Then what happens?”

“Then the records in the archives will be destroyed according to the power of the relic. As a result of our experiments, it is said that if a material that is 90% or more identical to the original is created, it will be deleted.”

As we were chatting, we arrived at the front of the library.

Tigris paused for a moment before entering the library.

“That is why the Dwarves strictly control access to the archives. Thanks to the power of the archives, we can safely keep secrets that should not be known to the world.”

“What are those secrets?”

“I don’t know that either. The only thing allowed to me was the content related to swordsmanship. That’s why I came to this library.”

The contents related to the Demon King written in this library are information that is not in the Dwarf’s archives.

Whether the information about the Demon King in the library was correct or not, it was better to look at it because it was not in the Dwarf’s archives.

“Then let’s go in.”

* * *

The archives of the Imperial Palace are not the only collections of ancient books.

Starting with the basic records that have been passed down from the birth of the Lucet Empire, such as the financial records and minutes of the Lucet Empire, to the records of duels and wars between each family, and the operational records and doctrines of the Golden Knights, the history of the Empire of Lucet is all contained in it. .

Naturally, the top secrets of the country, such as the ugly history of the Lucet Imperial Family, the Lucet Empire’s black operational records, and the Inquisitor’s list of agents, are also kept inside, so no one can enter.

Even Tigris does not have the right to read the country’s highest-class secret, level 0, even if she becomes the princess’s father-in-law.

Tigris is not free from state secrets as it must obtain the approval of His Majesty the Emperor when reading a level 1 or higher secret.

But the princess is different.

The security level allowed for the princess is 0, and she can read any confidential documents if she so desires.

This is not simply because the princess is the emperor’s child, but after seeing the recent regression of Tigris, Emperor Todd specifically granted permission with Prince Harry.

Princess Rain Rover and Tigris headed to the librarian in charge of the library.

“It is an honor to meet the great Golden Clan. What can I do to help?”

“Can you give me all the materials related to the Demon King?”

The librarian answered without hesitation.

“Some of the materials related to the Demon King are classified as confidential. Can I bring them too?”

“Please do that.”

“Yes. Okay. If you are in the private reading room #2, I will bring them all.”

Of course, it is almost impossible for Tigris or Rain Rover to find each document.

The number of all records in this library, known only to the librarian, is being updated daily due to the regularly published minutes.

The fastest way to access information in this hell of a document was to ask a librarian.

Has it been 30 minutes since Tigris and Rain Rover waited in their private reading room?

The three librarians entered the private reading room.

In each of their hands were a red, yellow, and green box.

The librarians put the boxes on the desk in order and opened their mouths.

“The red box contains Level 0 to Level 2 confidential material, the yellow box contains level 3 material, and the green box contains the general level material.”

The librarian took out two glasses from his pocket.

“This is an artifact that aids in speed reading. I brought it because I thought you might need it for a quick glance.”

“thanks.”

“If you need anything, please ring the bell. Then we will go.”

The librarians politely said hello and left.

Rain Rover opened the red box first.

It contained a book and two crystal balls, but none of them had unusual titles.

[Seal of Gold Dragon Aurome]

[Fate von Rodelim’s Mysterious Land Magical Analysis Results Report]

[Annihilation Ecology Survey Results Report (1 year, 101 year, 201 year, 301 year of the Lucet calendar)]

It is known that the sealing of the Gold Dragon was carried out by Fateh, the official who founded the Lucet Empire.

I know that Fateh made the sealing technique inspired by Ferreira’s sealing technique, who sealed the demon king in the mysterious land, but the details related to it seemed to be contained in [Seal of the Gold Dragon Aurome].

And the other two were in the form of a crystal ball, which was preserved in the form of a crystal ball if there were many pictures or audio recordings were needed.

“Ummm…”

Rain Rover first opened [Seal of Gold Dragon Aurome].

The thickness of the book was thicker than the Imperial Common Dictionary, but it was very difficult to understand because the contents contained in it were all full of complicated techniques.

“I think it would be difficult for me to understand how the magic unfolded. Principal Bastian also tried to fully understand the procedure, but I understand that he could not.”

“It’s not that important, it’s related to the Demon King, so let’s take a quick look at it. I have a pile of books to read today.”

“yes. That’s right. Do you know how to use the Recording Crystal?”

“I know.”

“Then shall we begin?”

Tigris and Rain Rover put on the speed-reading artifacts and began to quickly flip through the material.

Rather than reading over and over things that were difficult to understand, I just skimmed through them, and when something related to the demon king came up, I transcribed it in the prepared notebook.

Did an hour pass like that?

Rain Rover and Tigris could see all the contents in the red box.

Rain Rover carefully scanned the notebook he had organized and opened his mouth.

“First, let me tell you. According to the contents of [Seal of the Gold Dragon Aurome], it is said that Pereira used the space-time sealing magic that Pereira used to seal Aurome. If you look at the magic techniques I understand, the sealing ceremony is still maintained based on the mana that comes out of Aurom’s Dragon Heart.”

“It seems to be similar to what Amoris-sama said. Even the hero Ferreira used the sealing technique to seal the demon king using the mana that comes out of the demon king’s body.”

“To explain further, it is written that the reason for not killing Aurom and sealing it is because it is an ‘immortal being’ like the Demon King.”

“Is it immortal?”

Rain Rover nodded and said.

“yes. It is said that Aurom was wearing armor called ‘Scales of Reverence’, a sacred item of dragons. It is written that words are like the power to block all attacks from outside the armor. So there was no way I could kill him.”

“What is the shape of the relic?”

“Aurome’s forehead has a golden jewel that is said to be the scale of awe.”

Tigris recalled the past for a moment.

Before returning, was there a golden jewel on the forehead of the chimerized Aurom?

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen a sacred object called the scales of awe on Aurom’s forehead before the return.”

“There will be no choice but to do so. It is said that the scale of awe disappeared after 150 years of being sealed. Do you know why relics perish?”

“The sign of the scales of awe has been completely forgotten.”

“If the constellation of Lover, whom Sir Tigris met, is correct, then that would be the case.”

Rain Rover put down the notebook.

“This is all about the Demon King in [Seal of the Gold Dragon Aurom]. The Demon King is an ‘immortal being’. It was a long explanation, but to sum it up in one word, this is the end. Isn’t it a little vain?”

“no. There is something a little strange.”

“yes? What?”

“Amoris-nim said that only a few knew that the demon king was sealed in the mysterious land. It is said that there is a magic that distorts perception in the sealing ceremony, making it difficult for people to recognize that there is a demon king in the mysterious land.”

“Looking back, that was definitely the case, wasn’t it? Then, how did Fateh know that the demon king was sealed in the mysterious land?”

Tigris showed him his notebook and explained.

“I’m not sure, but what I think is related to it is written in the Mysterious Land Magical Analysis Report. It is written that when entering the land of mystery, you entered together with ‘Mirinae’, the leader of the beast race. There is a possibility that Elder Mirinae informed me.”

“ah! So, just as Lord Tigris thought to seal Levis in the Mysterious Land, Pate-nim must have thought about sealing Aurom using the magic trick hanging in the Mysterious Land.”

“It is very likely. But there was nothing related to the constellation we were looking for.”

The end was just that the demon king was an immortal being, and he sealed Aurom using the magic of the mysterious land that sealed the immortal demon king.

Rain Rover thought deeply and opened his mouth.

“If we summarize the information that has been released so far, it means that the scale of Aurom’s awe and the existence of the Demon King have the same immortal power. Since the scales of reverence are holy things, then by what principle did the demon lord obtain such enormous power?”

Tigris thought for a moment and then opened his mouth.

“Let’s look for data on the relics that the Demon King used. There may be an answer.”

Tigris and Rain Rover searched the box and quickly found data about the Demon King and the Holy Relic.

after three hours.

“There is no record of the demon king using anything other than the demon king’s sword and the demon king’s armor.”

“There are as many as 35 constellations related to the Demon King. It is divided into four types: sword, helmet, armor, and throne. However, there is not a single record of the discovery of relics related to the 35 constellations.”

“Just because there is a constellation does not mean that the power of the constellation is manifested.”

“Come to think of it, there are the constellations of Pereira and Hos, but there is no evidence that related relics have been found.”

Tigris and Rain Rover were able to draw one conclusion.

“The real Demon King’s constellation is unknown to humans. The same goes for the constellation that symbolizes the sword star Hoth and Pereira.”

“Someone deliberately hid it. And I think I know who the hidden person, no, the race is.”

“It’s the Dwarves. Only the Dwarf archives will have information on the constellation that represents the real Demon King. Maybe we’ll even find the relics of Pereira and Hoth.”

Tigris seemed to know who to go first before browsing the archives.

“I’ll have to ask Trisha to show you the starry sky map.”
