Chapter 326
Lucky 326
Calix walked around the library and he confirmed one thing, he was underground.
"This library has no door and no window. Just a staircase to the upper floor."
The library was wide and it took him half an hour to explore it. Actually, he took it faster since he had to rescue Lou, but it still took him half an hour. The only answer he found was the stairs to the next upper floor.
"If this library is underground, then the exit is up there..."
Maybe this library had dozens of floors and he was currently in the deepest part. In any case, Calix didn't have the answer. All he had to do was take one step at a time and reach his destination.
"Nyah~"
The small kitten in his hand yawned and closed its eyes. Mera had just been born and he was still tired. Calix looked at the kitten and rubbed its ear, making Mera purr.
"Let's go."
There was no time to hesitate, Calix stepped onto the stairs. He was calm as he reached the next floor.
There was no door and the entrance was wide open. He strolled in and found a few people busily scattering dozens of books on the floor. They seemed to be looking for something.
"Um? Hi? Do you know the way out?"
Calix asked them subconsciously. However, as he studied their appearance, he realized that these people were suspicious. The fact that they were throwing books just to find something was suspicious.
He narrowed his eyes, the books on the ground looked old and dusty. Perhaps they were antique books. But it did not matter, he had to solve this situation first. Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com
"Are you stealing something?"
He grinned, and Mento immediately transformed into a deadly pistol with a silencer.
The suspicious men immediately rushed to cast their spells, but Calix was calm.
"Compared to Minokawa earlier, you are nothing but weaklings. Now, would you mind telling me where I can find the exit?"
He asked them politely while pulling the trigger and making holes in their bodies.

"Tch, I just got here and they already made their move."
Berto Alb's gaze was that of a hawk. His vision scanned the surroundings and deduced the enemy's tactics.
"They created a problem to divert our attention. These Aberrants are nothing more than a distraction. Their real purpose is something else."
The phone rang for a few seconds before someone answered.
-- How's retirement?
"When are you going to solve this problem?"
The two asked each other abruptly.
"You know that the Ancient Library has been infiltrated by the Council. What are you going to do about it?"
-- You really are no fun. I heard that you've been lax and friendly these days, I guess you can't trust rumors, huh?
"Principal, I'm serious."
-- Okay, fine.
The voice on the phone could be heard sighing. The principal already knew that Berto was always different when he was working. He was a cold-blooded warrior.
-- The security of the library was weakened. I don't know what happened, but the traps and runic spells aren't working. The library has thousands of treasures, and it's currently unprotected. If someone touches a treasure, the traps and spells will not work.
The Ancient Library was the most protected place in the land, but now it was nothing but an open shed. Anyone who had a teleport could freely enter.
"What do you want me to do?"
-- I want you to eliminate most of the infiltrators but leave at least one or two alive. These people are hard to come by, and we need more information about them.
"Okay. Open the door."
The guards did not think twice and opened the library for him.
[Hello, I just want to promote my other novels:]
1) MC is not part of the story
- This novel is already finished with 526 chapters. This is my very first novel, so you will see a lot of grammar mistakes.
2) The only fuel is to use the D.
-This is my most read novel for some obvious reasons, ahem.
3) Reincarnated As A Deadbeat Dad
-This is a new novel. A slow progressive slice of life about a deadbeat dad.
4) Hollywood What If
- This is actually experimental. I'm not quite sure if I'm going to keep writing this. It depends on how many readers I can get.
[I mostly post my novels on Scribblehub, Webnovel, RoyalRoad, and Questionable Questing.]
