Getting up from her chaise chair, Wynter said, "Co, follow ."
"Where are we going?" Xinya asked, confused.
"To my office," Wynter replied.
Wynter led him through multiple bookcases and up to a pair of spiraling staircases until they reached a remote part of the library. It looked older, much more so than the downstairs area was, but also more elegant.
They walked until they reached alone bookcase in the middle of a wall. Xinya was confused as to why they stopped here since he didn't see a door leading to her office, he was about to ask about it when she suddenly moved towards the shelf and pulled a golden book out from it.
Xinya looked on in bemusent as the bookcase moved to reveal a door. He felt that it was sothing out of a fantasy. Although considering this whole place consists of nothing but fantasy, he shouldn't have been so surprised by that. One thing he did know was that, if he ever gets enough money, he would get one of those for his ho in the real world.
Opening the door to her office, they walked inside. The place was small but organized. There were books stacked neatly in piles and, from what Xinya could see, a board pinned with notes about Shilvak. Full of curiosity, he walked around, only to see most of the stuff in her office was about Shilvak or what he assud connected to him.
"As you can see, I did a lot of research on Shilvak and his apprentice," Wynter said, gesturing around the room.
Xinya knew that Shilvak was her hero and she wanted to be a combat potion maker like him but, from what he could see, it felt like she was obsessed. Although, he could understand her passion, even if she was just an NPC and it was programd into her.
"Yes, I can definitely see that you did," he said.
"Alright, enough chit-chatting, let's get to it." She said, pulling out a map covered with notes from inside her desk. "The place where you will be going to is called Krimplot, it's an island surrounded by water just a few miles away from Bellport."
Xinya looked closer at the map. "If the place is surrounded by water, how am I supposed to get there?"
"I can give you a teleportation scroll that will send you straight there, but how to return is up to you to figure out," Wynter replied.
"I see, well, can you tell what you know about the dungeon?" Xinya asked.
"From the intel I gathered, it's not your typical hack and slash type of ordeal. The first half of the dungeon tests your knowledge. What type of tests they are I don't know, but you die if you fail. In the last part though, you will have to fight a monster, a monster that was born from discarded potions. So you better be careful, young man." Wynter said.
"I will," Xinya said.
They talked so more about what the tests that Xinya might possibly face inside the dungeon, to which Wynter gave him helpful suggestions on what to do if he cos across any of the ones she ntioned. Since Wynter had no inkling of what sort of monster it would be but knew that, since it was a monster made of a potion, it would have deadly ranged attacks, so she told him that the best course of action is to find a way to fight it up close. Xinya felt that didn't really help him, but thanked her for her help anyway. When they finished talking, she sent him on his way with the promise that he would bring back the book.
Putting the teleportation scroll inside of his pocket, he went back downstairs, to where he and lting Snow first ca in. Once he arrived, he saw that lting Snow was already at the front desk, holding three books in his arms. When lting Snow saw him he called out to him.
"Where have you been, man?" lting snow said. "I have been waiting for you for over an hour."
"Why didn't you just ssage ?" Xinya asked, confused.
Glancing at the NPC he was with, then back at Xinya quickly, lting Snow said, " Well, Ms. Mable was so kind and was helping so sincerely, and I didn't want to rush you."
"Right" Xinya replied. He saw the blush littering lting Snow's face. A pretty girl and a young boy, he knew lting Snow wouldn't mind if he had taken longer.
"Anyway, I learned a great deal from these books. I now know exactly what monster I want to ta." lting Snow said excitedly.
"Oh?" Xinya asked curiously. "Which one?"
"I want a Leopade." lting Snow replied.
Xinya was speechless for a mont. "You do know that a level 50 monster right?"
"Of course I do." lting Snow said happily. "But that's my goal pet, for now, I want either a Hellvine or Flare Dog."
Hearing the two monster nas, Xinya felt that they were way more suitable for lting Snow's current level. "They sound good."
"So, what were you doing anyway? Did you get any leads on your skills?" lting Snow asked.
"Actually, I did. Although there isn't a book here in the library, there's one sowhere else. I will need your help, are you willing to co with ?" Xinya replied.
Smiling, lting Snow asked, "Are we going on another adventure, and will it be dangerous?"
"To answer both of your questions, yes, if you want to and perhaps," Xinya said.
"What do you an 'if I want to' of course I want too. I always have the most fun when I'm pulled into your activities." A grinning lting Snow said.
"Then, let's go," Xinya said, as he walked out of the library.
