Chapter 521 Bullshit Theory

In the morning, Noel and Rose met the guide once again.

"Hello, Sir. My name is Sharkan. I'd like to apologize for my rude behavior yesterday." The guide came to him and bowed.

Noel waved his hand. "It's fine. Rather than that, I'd like you to bring us to the tower immediately. We don't have a lot of time right now."

"Certainly." Sharkan nodded with a serious expression and immediately led Noel to the tower.

From the outside, the tower was made of the more polished version of the stone this city was using. Though, it also made the area slightly hotter.

The tower was a cylinder and it seemed there were at least ten floors inside.

Once they entered the tower, Noel and Rose felt slightly overwhelmed. First, the air inside the tower was cool as if the heat outside never came inside. Second, there were eleven floors and each of them was filled with books.

This was truly the tower of knowledge, Noel thought.

"It's pretty cool inside." Noel made a remark, trying to get an answer from Sharkan.

As if picking up his hint, Sharkan immediately explained. "This tower was built with the help of the Water Lord and Wind Lord. They created a system to circulate the hot air inside to the outside while maintaining the humidity and temperature."

"So, that's why the outside is a bit hotter than I think…"

"Yes." Sharkan nodded. "This kind of environment is good for the book as well as the people who read them. After all, no one can concentrate while continuously wiping their sweat."

"Fair enough. Let's go then."

"Follow me." Sharkan moved to the left and prepared to show Noel another technology that would shock him. Inside the tower, there was a small platform surrounded by four pillars in each corner.

Sharkan asked them to step on the platform and touch a button in the corner. Suddenly, the platform was lifted up.

"!!!" Noel lowered his head in surprise. "This is…"

He could feel the Spiritual Energy fluctuation, meaning it was the work of Spiritual Energy. And judging from the stone platform work, it was similar to the one they had outside. But instead of moving horizontally, this one moved vertically.

"This is how we reach those floors. This seems to be one of the lost technologies from the previous civilization that we've managed to recover and recreate with Spiritual Energy as the foundation."

"…" Noel was speechless. This was truly a paradise for a scholar. They used their brain to create a tool that might be useful to people who had no Spiritual Energy.

If Noel didn't have this platform, he could simply jump to the fifth floor with his strength. But not many people could do that.

He could see how people loved all the technologies inside this place.

Before his shock subsided, the platform had reached the fifth floor.

"We've arrived, Sir, Miss. Please…" He smiled and stepped outside. He waited for Noel and Rose, who were still quite shocked, before looping around the tower.

They eventually reached a section with a 'Spirit' tag on it.

Without hesitation, Sharkan asked, "We've arrived at our destination. This place is filled with books related to Spirit. So that I can understand what you're searching for, I have to know the topic of your research first.

"May I know what kind of information you seek? The more detailed it is, the more accurate the book I can bring."

Noel thought for a moment. "If that's the case, I want a book related to the origin of the spirits."

"Understood. Please wait here for a moment." Sharkan showed a table for them to wait. After that, he disappeared for a minute before coming back with two books.

Placing these two books on top of the table, he introduced these two books. "The History of Spirit, it's a book that records a person who uses all his life to seek information from other people's spirits.

"The second book is called Spirit Heart. It contains information about why the spirits reside within us."

"I see…" Noel took the history book while Rose grabbed the other one. While trying to read the book, Noel asked, "It seems that you know these two books well. Why don't you explain it to me while I read this?"

He didn't want to waste a lot of time reading the book, so he just wanted to get to the point while confirming the information with the book.

"Certainly." Sharkan nodded. "In this book, the writer starts with the question… "Why do we have a Spirit in our body? What are they? And why are people divided into the one who has a Spirit and the one who doesn't have one?

"For the first question, according to the writer, our world is separated into two realms. Just like how we have day and night, the world also has this world and the spirit world. Each of us is completing each other to make a stable world.

"And the spirits come from that world. Then, what are they? Just like what you said yesterday, Sir. The spirits are the same as humans. In fact, we believe that the spirits are a kind of our reflection in the other world.

"But as you can see, humans can give birth to many children in their life. So, we end up having more people than the spirits. That's the reason why not all people have a spirit.

"The writer believes that reincarnation does exist. So, in both lives, the same person will have the same spirit. This is proven by how the spirits know everything about us and support us thoroughly as if they understand our talents and preference.

"So, if you continue reading this book, you'll realize that the people who have spirits are reincarnated from ancient times while those who don't are the new people that come into this world."

Noel listened to him attentively, but he only had one thought after all of the explanation.

'What a complete mess.'
