When Long Chen had picked up so many books, he had enough that Long Chen was not aware of his abilities and choosing more than he could read, but by the next day, he had realized how wrong he was. Long Chen was already on the second last book now.
He finished the book and moved it to the side.
He placed his head on the table and sighed.
"Seriously. If I had read this much, I would’ve been a millionaire at so big firm," Long Chen muttered as he sighed.
"So many books and not a single thing of use that I was looking for. Like seriously! Who even wrote these books? An entire book about the missing underwear in a town? What the heck is with that mystery. It’s obviously a stupid thief doing that. Put your focus on things of real value. Such a waste of paper," he let out in an annoyed tone.
" Hahaha, that was indeed funny," Xun said as she laughed.
"What was funny with that stupid mystery! I wasted so much of my ti thinking I’ll find sothing useful in the second last book, but it was useless," Long Chen muttered as he sighed.
"I didn’t say the book was funny. The real doing things were your expressions when you were reading the book," Xun muttered as she laughed.
Long Chen looked at Xun blankly before he caught her hand and pulled her closer. He made Xun sit in his lap.
"Since you already made fun of , you might as well make up for it as I read the last book," he said as he wrapped one of his arms around Xun’s slim waist.
He used his other hand to open the last book, which was the last remaining book that was to decide if the 24 hours he didn’t were useful or just a big waste of ti.
Long Chen opened the last book and started reading it.
"The Mystery of a kid from the future?" Long Chen muttered as he read the first page.
"This looks like sothing interesting. If it’s about the future, it can be related to ti and the Sword of Ti. Finally, sothing to be hopeful about," Long Chen muttered as he smiled.
"Don’t get too optimistic. You were excited about the Mystery of the Disappearing Woman as well. It turned out to be useless. Learn from this and finish reading the book before you get excited," Xun said to Long Chen.
"You always have to be a killjoy, don’t you?" Long Chen let out with a wry smile on his face as he pulled the cheeks of Xun.
"hhh, Stop that," Xun cried out cutely.
"Hahaha. You’re cute," Long Chen laughed as he released her cheeks and continued reading the book.
"The Mystery of the Kid from the future. Today, I went to the City of Keila as I heard rumors about a mysterious event taking place there..."
Long Chen started reading the book.
"... I reached the city of Keila and talked to the citizens about this in detail. They said that I was in the right place and told to go to the house of the person who was directly involved in it..."
"... the old man told about the event that took place three years ago. He said that his grandson suddenly started talking about coming from the future to save the life of his father. He told that his Grandson talked about the bandit attacks on the caravan of his father that was going to leave the next day..."
"... They both thought that the kid was just ssing around. The father of the kid ignored the warning and left the city. The Grandparent didn’t believe him..."
"... The news ca that what the boy had said turned out to be true. The bandits had attacked the caravan. The son of the old man was dead. As for the kid that talked about coming from the future had disappeared..."
"...It’s so strange! The man I talked to, rembers the kid so perfectly as if it was real and he existed, but the neighbors and the other says that the old man never had a grandkid, and it didn’t exist. Could this be possible for a person to co to the past from the future? Is this possible that a person’s entire existence can be wiped? Or is it that the old man was lying and nothing like this happened?"
Long Chen closed the book as he finished reading it.
"This is it. The Sword of Ti. You said it brings people’s consciousness to the past into their old self also, after 24 hours, that person, his past and his future, all his wiped from existence. This seems to be the case. Everything matches!" Long Chen said excitedly.
" It does match up. The only thing I don’t understand is why the grandfather didn’t forget the existence of his grandson like the others? In a normal situation, he should’ve forgotten as well," he continued as his smile turned to a frown with uncertainty.
"There seems to be an explanation for that. The old man probably had the Sword of Ti after his grandson disappeared," Xun said as he sighed.
"What does that have to do with him rembering sothing that didn’t exist?" Long Chen inquired.
"It’s the effect of the Sword of Ti. The current owner of the Sword of Ti is always immune to its effects. The grandfather beca the owner, and it beca immune to the effects and rembered the alternate tiline where it actually happened," Xun explained.
"Based on that, it’s clear. The Sword of Ti is in Keia City in the Gaeson Kingdom. Now all I need is a map," Long Chen muttered as he smirked.
"It’s not that easy. You still need to search an entire city to find it. That’s almost impossible without spending a lot of the ti here. Are you ready to delay your Trial for years?" Xun said as she shook her head.
"Co on! Stop being so pessimistic. At Least we have narrowed down the search paraters from the entire world to just a city. We can worry about the rest later. It’s ti to be happy for now," Long Chen muttered as he pulled Xun’s cheeks again.
"You’re right. You did well. Let’s leave this place and go look for the sword," Xun told Long Chen as she raised her hand innocently.
"Not so soon. I’m not delaying any mission for anything. I’ll arrange for both," Long Chen said as he smiled. He stood up and placed the book back at its original position.
After he finished that, he left the Library.
He stepped out of the Dragon Tower. The sun was right above his head. It was afternoon as he stepped out of the Dragon Tower.
Long Chen walked back towards the Royal Palace.
He entered the Royal Palace. As the guards recognized Long Chen as the person who was staying inside the tower, they didn’t stop him from entering.
Long Chen walked in the direction of the Royal Hall, where the King stayed, and t with his ministers.
Along the way, he found the Royal Eunuch.
"What are you doing here? Your room is on the other side of the palace," The Eunuch said to Long Chen.
"I’m here to et his Majesty. I have sothing really important to discuss with him. Can you take to him?" Long Chen asked the Eunuch.
"You and sothing important?" The Eunuch said as he suspiciously looked at Long Chen.
"Of course. Wasn’t I the one that ca with the information that made his Majesty send the Dragon Squad with ? Stop wasting my ti and take to His Majesty. You don’t know how crucial ti is for us," Long Chen said.
"Hmph, co with ," the Eunuch snorted as he started walking back.
