Chapter 85: Franzel's Library (Fourth Update! Requesting Subscriptions! Requesting Monthly Votes!)

Let's put aside the matter of the tea for now.

Putting aside this overly sweet tea, Rige was still very grateful for Yuli's kindness.

Not only did she save his life, but she was also willing to let him stay and temporarily protect him. This favor, both emotionally and logically, Rige had to remember.

Therefore, Rige was not in a hurry to leave. He just sat in the pavilion and started chatting with Yuli.

Rige found that Yuli seemed to really enjoy chatting with him.

Or rather, Yuli enjoyed having someone she could chat with freely, and that person just happened to be Rige.

Ever since Rige was still recovering, Yuli often came to see him. Sometimes they talked about serious matters, and sometimes they chatted casually, but no matter what, Yuli always seemed very happy.

If not for this, why would this Marquis of the Ginass Kingdom, the renowned strategic-level mage of the Akashia continent, personally come to see Rige and talk to him?

Given Yuli's status, even if she had saved someone and brought them back to recover, there was no need for her to personally visit and comfort them. Telling her servants to take good care of Rige would have been enough.

Therefore, Yuli's kindness towards Rige was evident, and Rige was willing to cooperate with her, chatting to pass the time.

Perhaps at first, Yuli only came to see him because the original host had the potential to become a tactical or strategic-level mage.

But as they interacted more, the frequency of Yuli's visits to Rige increased sharply. Now, just sitting and chatting with Rige, having tea, made her look very content and happy, leaving Rige unsure of how to react.

But still, since Yuli enjoyed chatting, Rige was naturally willing to cooperate with her.

This was also a way for Rige to understand this world and the Ginass Kingdom.

The original host was just a country bumpkin who hadn't seen much of the world, with limited knowledge and only a basic understanding of many things. He wasn't very clear about specific details.

In contrast, Yuli, as a high-ranking official in the kingdom, the chief court mage, and a noble just below the rank of duke, had a deep understanding of the country and the continent, which others found hard to match.

During the month of recovery, Rige learned a lot about this world through conversations with Yuli.

Now, chatting with Yuli was still beneficial for Rige, helping him understand the world and uncover some secrets unknown to others.

Until—

"Miss."

An old man dressed as a butler entered the pavilion, bowing to Yuli as he spoke.

"The young master of the Basoro family has come to visit."

These words made the smile on Yuli's face disappear.

"I see." Yuli said expressionlessly, "Please show him to the reception room. I'll be there shortly."

"Yes, Miss." The butler responded and retreated.

Only then did Yuli's face regain some expression, though it didn't seem very pleasant.

"What's wrong?"

Rige asked when he saw this.

"Nothing." Yuli was about to say something but seemed to change her mind, sighing, "Sorry, I need to receive a guest."

Clearly, it wasn't someone Yuli was looking forward to seeing.

"It's fine." Rige, though a bit concerned, didn't press her, "You go ahead. I'll be fine on my own."

"That's good." Yuli smiled, "You can go back to your room or wander around, as long as you don't leave this villa, you can go anywhere."

With that, Yuli took out a crystal from her pocket.

"This is for you."

Yuli handed the crystal to Rige.

Rige looked at it and was quite surprised, "Is this a communication magic crystal?"

"Yes." Yuli smiled, "I'm giving it to you. If you need anything, you can use it to contact me."

"That's not right," Rige hesitated, "I remember this thing is quite expensive."

A magic crystal is a tool similar to the magic stones of the world of Alchemia.

It is a raw material used to make magical items. Using this material, various spells can be inscribed, creating all sorts of special items that bring convenience to life and other aspects.

The communication magic crystal Yuli gave Rige was a crystal tool with communication capabilities.

This tool was quite expensive and had not been widely used among the common people. Apart from some wealthy merchants who would spend a lot of money to get one for business convenience, it was generally only carried by nobles.

As long as two communication magic crystals were touched together beforehand, allowing the crystals to record each other's magical wavelengths, they could communicate regardless of the distance.

This was far more advanced than the phones and mobile phones of Rige's previous life.

Although it required the crystals to touch to record the wavelengths (like phone numbers), the ability to communicate from anywhere made the phones and mobile phones of his previous life seem primitive in comparison.

Although the original host had many noble friends, he himself did not have a communication magic crystal, so Rige knew how expensive this crystal tool was.

However, for Yuli, this seemed to be a minor issue.

"This is nothing, I have many. Marylin has one too. Don't be polite," Yuli said to Rige, "It's for easier communication."

Rige was no longer content to stay in bed, so he indeed needed a way to contact someone.

"This crystal already has my wavelength recorded, as well as Marylin's. If you can't contact me for some reason, you can contact Marylin."

Yuli's words made Rige glance at Marylin.

Marylin, however, stood by Yuli's side, her face cold, seemingly unaware of Rige's gaze.

"Alright."

Rige thought for a moment and finally accepted Yuli's kindness, putting the magic crystal away.

"By the way," Yuli suddenly remembered something, "If you get bored, you can go to the library."

At these words, Marylin's expression changed.

"Miss."

Marylin frowned, as if she wanted to say something but was stopped by Yuli's glance.

"What's wrong with the library?"

Rige was slightly stunned by this scene.

"Nothing, don't worry," Yuli smiled, "It won't harm you. Of course, whether you go or not is up to you."

With that, Yuli turned and left.

Marylin, on the other hand, subtly glared at Rige before leaving with a look of dissatisfaction.

Rige was left alone in the pavilion, watching the two leave, lost in thought.

"It seems this so-called library is not a place to enter casually."

Rige thought for a while and decided to go and see.

As Yuli said, she wouldn't harm him; otherwise, Rige would have been dead long ago.

So, Rige left the pavilion, preparing to enter the villa.

However, before entering the villa, Rige saw many people.

Outside the gate, a distance from the courtyard, there was a luxurious carriage and many knights lined up neatly.

Rige glanced at them, finding nothing interesting, and then entered the villa.

Franzel's library seemed to be on the top floor of the mansion.

It was next to Yuli's private study, not in a remote location. However, when Rige asked the servants where the library was, they looked at him in surprise and immediately notified the guards, who came to ask.

Upon learning that Rige was looking for the library with Yuli's permission, the guards exchanged glances and then directed him.

Before leaving, Rige clearly saw envy and even jealousy in their eyes.

On his way to the top floor, Rige was stopped by about three groups of people. Each group only let him pass after confirming he had Yuli's permission.

This made Rige even more certain that the library was a very important place.

Strangely, such an important place had no one guarding its door.

Rige looked at the library door in confusion before pushing it open and entering.

As he pushed the door, a tiny magic array briefly appeared on the doorknob, but it disappeared so quickly that Rige didn't notice it.

Rige entered the library, and the door closed automatically behind him.

Rige then looked around the library.

It was a very ordinary library.

It wasn't large, but it wasn't small either. It was filled with numerous books on elegant bookshelves, but the air didn't smell of books.

Rige approached a bookshelf and picked up a book.

As soon as he did, Rige understood why everyone was so nervous about the library.

Because the books here were all extraordinary.

For example, the book he was holding was titled—*Introduction to Basic Magic*.

Yes.

It was a book that taught how to use magic and how a mage should start.

"Are all the books here used to teach magic?"

Rige's gaze towards the library changed.

This wasn't just a library.

It was clearly a place for the transmission of magical knowledge!

No, it wasn't just magical knowledge.

Rige noticed that a bookshelf contained books not about magic but about sword techniques.

"Sword techniques?"

Rige became interested.

If the original host's memory was correct, the sword techniques in this world were quite special.
