Chapter 197: Fifth Floor Privilege
"Nee, Eve, why do you need to go to the Mage Association to contact your family? Doesn't the academy also provide that service, em... Express mail?" Elysia shook Evelyn's hand as they took a leisurely stroll through the downtown area.
"Hm, if asked that... I'm more comfortable entrusting that to the Mage Association. Ely, don't you know?" Evelyn glanced up for a mont to choose the right words.
"Hm?" Elysia only tilted her head slightly with a clueless expression.
"You really don't know, Ely?" Evelyn looked at her best friend with incredulous eyes.
"Eve, don't confuse Ely. The Mage Association is based in the Ariatha Kingdom, and that is Eve's hotown. Then--" Ella explained a little to the confused girl who was looking at her.
"Yes, yes, just let explain to Ely, Ella." Evelyn imdiately interrupted Ella. It was her part to explain that and not soone else.
"Oh, okay, sorry." Ella put on a slightly guilty face.
"En, it's okay. So, like this, Ely. The Mage Association is--" Evelyn nodded and explained the summary about the Mage Association.
anwhile, Elysia and Ella only listened to Evelyn's explanation in peace during their steps towards sowhere. Until Evelyn was finished with her story, and Elysia finally understood more.
The Mage Association was Evelyn's family organization, and the one with the highest authority in that organization was Evelyn's mother! Similar to Ella's background with the Holy Knight and Priest of the Holy Church.
"Wow, that's amazing, Eve. Yes, family organizations are the best." Elysia clasped her hands with an expression of awe.
"Hehe... It will be much safer and faster. Most importantly, the Mage Association will treat much better than the academy." Evelyn felt her heart flutter with joy. She was happy when complinted when it ca from close people.
"Ah, we're close. It's the Mage Association." Evelyn pointed to the building that was visible among the other tall buildings.
"Oh, so it's the Mage Association branch's castle... I thought it was the Aeddoterra Kingdom's small castle." Elysia softly muttered as she turned in the direction Evelyn was pointing.
"Hmm-hmm, it is indeed small compared to Aeddoterra Palace. However, the Mage Association's castle in the Ariatha Kingdom is bigger than this one. Co on, let's speed up our pace." After saying that, Evelyn grabbed Elysia and Ella's arms for them to walk a little faster.
After walking for a while towards the castle, they arrived at the entrance to the Mage Association. It was just like what Evelyn said earlier... Their arrival was warmly welcod and treated exclusively because of Evelyn's identity as the Northern Region Princess.
Evelyn only needed to say sothing to the mage at the reception desk, then a lady mage ca to guide them sowhere.
"Ely, Ella, please wait here for a mont, okay? I'll be back as soon as I get the funds." Evelyn announced that as soon as they walked into an exclusive client room.
"En, okay. Please don't be in a hurry. Stay calm and serene."
"Yes, Eve, take your ti to talk to your family nicely and cute~"
Elysia and Ella responded with a nod, but the latter also suggested what she was doing to solicit funds from her grandfather.
"Mrs. Nancy, please accompany my two friends. I need to notify my family imdiately." Evelyn answered the nod, then she requested the lady mage.
"My pleasure, Princess Evelyn." Nancy nodded in understanding. Hearing that, Evelyn walked out of the room without waiting for anything else.
Elysia and Ella looked at each other, then sat down on the sofa. Nancy sat in the other seat, then brewed hot tea for the two girls.
Elysia took a soft breath and exhaled. Several flashbacks flashed through her mind about anything she had encountered since she was stranded in this world.
In this city, it was indeed peaceful and far from the world's chaos, from the endless wars that were still ongoing in a certain period to destroy and crush the other side.
And again, the three girls she happened to et were from backgrounds of great power and authority in this world. At one point, two girls had sohow beco her friends.
Who could shed light on her hazy and foggy future? Elysia and Elena needed enlightennt and direction to deal with this magical world more broadly. For so reason, Elysia felt this peaceful ti could go away anyti. Much preparation was required to be built for the unknown.
Whether it was Elysia or Elena, they knew it the best... Their presence in this city was only temporary. That montary ti should be used as best as possible to seek knowledge and funds. A vast world needed to be explored in search of the truth about their unusual arrival into this world.
"Nee, Ella." Elysia suddenly asked a mont after she flashed out of her mind.
"Hmn?" Ella looked sideways.
"Where do you think the place provides the most complete knowledge of this world?" Elysia looked into the blue eyes of the golden-haired girl.
"Hmm, the most complete knowledge, huh?" Ella rested her cheek on her hand to think for a mont.
"Ah, yes! Certainly, the Holy Library is the answer. The Holy Library provides the most comprehensive knowledge of this continent. And again, the Holy Library in this city is the most profound in terms of recorded knowledge." Ella clapped her hands with a pleased expression.
Unlike the rry girl, Elysia went into pensive for an instant then shook her head. "I was there a few days ago, but I haven't found what I'm looking for."
"Eh? Have you been to the Holy Library, Ely? If I may know, what are you trying to find there?" Ella put her hands on her lap as she looked at her troubled friend with a gentle gaze.
"A lot, I looked for many things, but only a few were answered."
Knowing Elysia's reply, Ella thought for a mont once again. "Uhm, it's a bit difficult if the knowledge you're looking for is a lot. You have to spend a lot of ti from the first floor to the fourth floor, and again from the countless shelves and books..."
"Ah, when you visited the Holy Library, what floor did you visit, Ely?" Ella needed to confirm that first.
"Err, it's on the fourth floor. That's where I t... Um, yes, him." Elysia almost made a mistake and said 'Grandpa' when there was a third party in the room. She happened to rember the Pope's presence was still hidden from the public.
"The fourth floor is where advanced knowledge and magic books are located. It also stores information about the world, even though it is focused on our continent. You didn't visit the first to third floors, Ely? Maybe, so books can help your confusion." Ella was glad her friend didn't ntion her grandfather and used pronouns.
"Ehh..." Elysia and Elena were stunned for an instant. If Ella said that, there was only one answer... Each floor in the Holy Library had a different book and didn't play with the level of access to the information?
"Hehe... Why do you look shocked like that, Ely? Did sothing happen? Can you tell ?" Ella giggled and covered her mouth with courtesy.
"Ah, the Holy Library doesn't implent sothing like the level of access to information for each floor? Each floor has a completely different category of books?" Elysia ca out of her shock to find out more about what she didn't know.
"Fufu, of course, Ely. Or maybe, you can visit the fifth floor with an exclusive privilege." Ella suggested sothing special.
"Umm, but I don't know how to establish privileged access. The receptionist lady only provides services from the first floor to the fourth floor. The rest, it's still a mystery to ." Elysia played with her long hair a little shyly.
"Hmm-hmm, we can talk about this later when you visit my house, Ely. I'll help you." Ella patted Elysia's thigh lightly. She wanted to close this topic because she didn't want to talk more about it in this place.
"Re, really? Is it a complicated way to make it?" Elysia was surprised, but she was happy.
"Yes, why not? I don't know for the others, but it's easy, really." Ella tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. She didn't know much about it because she only needed to rely on her grandfather for it.
"Ahh, thank you very much, Ella. This afternoon, I'm going to visit your house, uh, that's after economy class." Elysia took Ella's hand with a jubilant expression.
She didn't know what it would take to create an access card to the Holy Library's fifth floor. However, for the sake of in-depth knowledge that might help, she would pay whatever it costs, and maybe she was willing to do the hassle to get it.
"This is to accompany your conversation, young miss. Hope you will like it." Nancy put the tea for Elysia and Ella. Then, she also put the pastries there.
"Thank you, Mrs. Nancy." Elysia delivered her gratitude. Then followed by Ella.
