Chapter 239 Savant Tower

Chapter 239 Savant Tower

"Halt!" The silver-armored security personnel guarding the academy's library stopped the trio from entering. One of them came forward and glanced at Valerian. "No familiars allowed."

Valerian's eyes narrowed and he hissed at the guard. "Rawr~"

Instead of feeling intimidated, the guard only felt as if this familiar in front of him was the cutest thing in the world.

"It's alright, Val." Adam glanced at the young dragon and gestured. "Get back in."

The following moment, Valerian transformed into a gray light and returned to Adam's spirit sea.

Seeing this incredulous scene, the guard was flabbergasted. He even rubbed his eyes multiple times to ensure he wasn't seeing things.

Adam and his friends didn't pay any heed to the dumbfounded guards. They flashed their academy identity tokens and made their way inside.

As they climbed the stairs leading to the Savant Tower, they couldn't help but admire its architecture, despite visiting this place on numerous occasions.

The Savant Tower was renowned all over the Southern Federation. It was known for the vast depository of arcane knowledge that it contained. Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

It was built hundreds of years ago when the Clover Academy was established. It was the pride and joy of the academy. The tower was a monolithic structure, its outer walls weathered by time and history.

Adam had to crane his neck to gaze at the top of the tower that seemingly disappeared into the clouds. The youth couldn't help but marvel at its architecture no matter how many times he visited this place.

As the trio approached the main entrance of the Tower, they could see the students as well as the faculty members of the academy going about their day.

The Savant Tower was perhaps the most-visited building on the academy campus. Not only students, but even professors would carry out their research work here. On a few occasions, even the Headmistress was seen visiting this place.

As the trio entered the famed library, they were greeted by the scent of old parchment and ink. But something even more striking was the model of their planetary system!

The man checked the books one by one before flatly replying, "17 gold pieces."

"Tsk." Adam pursed his lips and muttered in a hushed tone. "I've been coming here for so many years. Can't you just give me a discount?"

"No." The librarian didn't care, however, he simply stretched out his palm. "If you're going to your usual spot, it will cost you another 10 gold pieces for renting it out for the entire day."

"I know, I know," Adam replied with slight dissatisfaction. He really didn't like spending money.

He paid the librarian 27 gold coins, grabbed his books, and walked away.

"Don't forget to return the books within twenty-four hours," the middle-aged man said while glancing at the youth's departing back.

"Yes, sir, I know!"

Adam walked toward the spiraling staircase leading upstairs. After having climbed two more floors, he finally arrived at his regular study room. He entered the room and locked the door behind him.

The room was small with only enough space for a couple of people to move about. However, it was more than enough for Adam. There was a wooden desk and table placed beside the glass window.

He kept the stack of tomes on the table in front of him and finally took his seat. He stretched his arms and cracked his neck joints, ready to bury himself in endless research once again.

However, it wouldn't be on the usage of spiritual power this time. There was something else that the youth had been vigorously researching.

Adam took out a clean parchment paper from his earring. Then he grabbed a quill and dipped it in ink. Finally, he started jotting down his speculations.

The youth's eyebrows furrowed in concentration as he delved deeper into the arcane texts, mumbling to himself,

"The relationship between mass and gravity..."
