Once we pass through the entrance into the outer court section, all the shapes and creatures in the area swim away into the darkness. And I get a better look at the surrounding area.
Like the previous area, there is a long pathway leading to the silo from where we are erging from and on the other side are ruins of a variety of cultures.
Similar styles of architecture still litter the area, but with a much greater difference in levels of decay. So appear millennia old, while others only decades.
But one thing Im noticing with so structures here is that a minority of them appear to be built for underwater traversal. Almost as if soone had built them to help ease in pathing. A different style of architecture entirely, seeming to be primarily structured around parabolic shapes and adjacent styles.
Hmm I dont think my earlier assumption was right. This isnt a snapshot in ti.
No, I think this is more of a maintenance thing. The books have a protection on them that seems to protect them from the effects of ti and obviously the water/pressure.
The difference here is that it seems so structures have had a similar, but weaker, version placed on them as well.
However, that this level is being maintained with these formations and that there is a progression, still speaks that there is sothing going on. Adding that there are certainly more creatures here might an theres a deeper secret.
Does each of these areas have sothing special about them? The more I look around here, the more curious I get.
The cart is just getting across the bridge when I can see a massive structure in the background of the nearby ruins and buildings. Sothing that looks like a palace of sorts.
Before I can look further at it, I notice sothing that arrests my attention.
I can see Ai, Lin, and i Lins cart cruise around the bend of a ruin. There seems to be another person with them in the cart. Likely the librarian assisting them.
As we move closer, Ai is the first to catch sight of us and touches her sister to draw her attention. We wave at each other and it just becos a wait until the carts get close enough so we can talk.
The carts seem to slow down a bit in this area, so it takes a bit, but once they get closer, the bubble around each of our vehicles moves toward each other and rges into one large one.
Imdiately after, i Lin moves close and grabs my hand.
Hey! How did everything go? Is everything
She practically squeaks out several questions, but I quickly stop.
Woah, woah, woah, no need to say it all out here. Everythings good and worked well. Ill have to run around a bit, so Ill be returning later than you guys but all is good.
I grip her hand and smile, hoping to convey the positivity of the situation.
There are certainly so worriso things, but overall, everything is still on schedule and okay.
All of their faces relax from a slight bit of tension. After all, the last ti they saw , I was being pulled away into a different dinsion to et the Patriarch of the sect.
Obviously, this could an both good or bad news. And it certainly was a mixed bag.
A thought cos to mind after I say this.
Hey, did you guys get everything you were looking for?
They all nod quickly and look at the librarian.
Ai is the one that speaks up.
Yeah, Librarian Tian over here was a big help in finding amorphous body cultivation thods. Without his help, theres no way we would have been able to find a decent thod. There are so many variations on the sa thods here.
I can see why you requested their help.
The brown-haired, thin man next to them doesnt say much. Just gives a nod and looks over at the twins.
They nod back, giving him the sign that we made an agreent between us.
Lin is the last one to speak.
Well, well et you back at the tower, then. Im sure you have a few things to check out, since you were with the Patriarch.
The way she says it makes wonder if shes pushing away, but its easy to realize they likely discussed it with each other and assud I wouldnt be able to join them on the way back.
There are certainly a few more steps before I can head back.
And it also seems like they dont want to say much in front of the three librarians here.
I wonder if sothing happened or if they are just being cautious around them
I guess Ill have to find out when I see them next.
Okay then. Ill see you guys later. Be safe on the way back and, if possible, go together as a larger group.
Got it. See you then.
They all wave as the carts move again. Separating the bubble, as they move back to where we ca from.
My eyes drift back over to the structure that I was distracted from earlier.
Yeah. Theres no way Im not taking a peek at this. Just because there are sudden distractions, doesnt change that there are obvious clues out here.
Man, I love having an improved mory and attention span.
I direct the cart closer to the palace area, soon realizing that its not exactly a palace. Instead seeming more like an administration building, like a docunt storage.
or a library.
I wonder what a library within a library might look like.
But of course, theres a change in the situation.
The cart lets know that at one waypoint we were planning on going to, the final group of team mbers in the library are now moving away and back towards the entrance.
As Ive made it a goal to check with the people here, and in all technicality, I can always co back here. I choose to head over to them.
Well, before Im interrupted by Ling.
Umm Young Master Jas? Will you need any assistance with finding sothing in particular? Weve seen that youve shown others what they should get, with quite a bit of accuracy. But you also already have a thod of your own.
If you have ti beforehand, would you like to move to another location, to talk with us about the additional information on the Pearls of Antiquity? Once we get there, we can talk to you about many of the rewards we can give you in exchange. Of course, helping sect mbers is part of our job, so we already have sothing planned to give you for what youve already told us.
Hmm looks like they may have sothing for , but are definitely wanting the rest of the information. I also have so additional stuff, if that will get what Im looking for. I guess well see how much Ill need to tell them.
Sounds good then. First, though, I would like to check on my last group. Then we can head over to discuss things.
They look at each other and nod.
And while they may show interest and attraction in , they still have a job.
Looks like Ill need to be cautious.
