I Became a Fake Priest the Saintess Is Obsessed With

77 – A Very Big Library

I gave holy power to the saint and arrived at the magic tower.

Entering the Magic Tower was easier than expected.

Thanks to their ideology and the will of their god, ‘Always provide knowledge to those who want wisdom,’ the Magic Tower was always open.

“Wow…”

The inside of the Magic Tower was truly a paradise for book lovers.

Inside the very tall circular tower, there were books everywhere the eye could see.

In order to pass the street, you had to overcome a labyrinth filled with bookshelves, and even if you climb the stairs to the next floor, only books are unfolding again.

As someone who is crazy about reading, I couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration when I saw this magnificent, sanctuary-like space.

“Just looking at it out of the corner of my eye, it must have taken an incredibly long time. I’m glad I got a long vacation.”

I didn’t know it would be this large, but I expected the library to be quite large, so I took about 5 days of vacation.

After… But will it be possible to search all of this place in 5 days?

Of course, the books seem to be well organized by type, so if you’re looking for them, you’ll be able to find them quickly, but these days, interesting novels and magic books… !

‘Oh my, drool was flowing’

I wiped the drool flowing from my mouth with a handkerchief. I guess I got excited without even realizing it because there were endless books in front of me.

Okay, let’s calm down and find what we’re looking for… You can enjoy the entertainment later, so relax first…

“So… Ears, ears, nobility… There it is.”

I stood still and looked inside and found a sign that said, “Nobility Studies.”

If I go there, I’ll probably find a collection of world nobles that I want, or a book about memorizing noble family names.

Then hurry up and move on…

“Wow, did this author write a new book? I didn’t see it in the bookstore, but nice!”

I took a few steps and had no choice but to stop again.

There is nothing we can do about it. I heard that an author who writes interestingly about unusual fantasy topics has published a new book.

I had a lot of time anyway, so I was on vacation in the first place. You can have a little fun.

With such a relaxed attitude, I took out a book from the bookshelf with a sign saying ‘Fantasy’, leaned back, and began to read the book.

“Hmm… That’s fun.”

Tap!

I closed the book after reading all the way through the review and put it back where I took it out.

“It was interesting. The perspective on the differences between demons and humans was also quite plausible.”

Well, from a perspective that knows the truth, it was an absurd story.

After giving a brief review, I took my first step.

Now that I’ve had some free time, I have to do my job.

I glanced at books that were worth reading and immediately arrived at the bookshelf where noble studies were collected.

“This is what I read… This has different content… Hmm… I don’t like the author of this…”

I could have wasted time by choosing a strange book, so I looked at each book one by one and chose them carefully.

There are a total of 15 books that I selected and found. It’s a lot, but it doesn’t matter because you’ll only find information about Aira by speed-reading.

I opened the book and quickly flipped through the pages.

“Aira…Aira…Ai…Ah… ㅇ…”

Hmm, what is it? I read all 15 volumes, but not even a child came out, let alone a child. Did I miss something?

I took out the books again and read them. This time, I read slowly, wondering if there was anything about Aira in the other family’s stories.

And a few hours later, after reading the last book, I closed the booklet.

“Nothing…”

No. There wasn’t a single thing about Ira.

Should I read any other books? No, the other books have poor content, so it is impossible for them to be written, and there is no reliable content.

Then, there is a way to search through history books, but I am not confident that I will be able to find related information within 5 days.

“Ugh… What on earth is this family doing that it’s not even recorded…?”

Even a lowly baron is fine. It’s okay if a wealthy rich man buys a government job. So, why not just spit out some information?

I ended up lying down on the chair I was sitting on.

‘Is there anyone who knows at least a little bit about my family? ‘

Tama also seemed to know something about Aira, but he only said that the goddess and I had the same last name and closed his mouth, telling him to find the rest on his own.

A person with a lot of information, similar to Tama… There is one… So, living in the Magic Tower… Daehyun, are you your son?

“Ah!”

When I thought about it, there was a really great person among my acquaintances.

The highest figure in the magic tower I came to, Great Sage Shuler, surely knows something about Aira.

But how do I meet the Great Sage? He’s not someone you can easily meet just by meeting him.

‘I told you to use it when you need help, so I can use it, right?’

I was rummaging through my bag and took out a piece of pure white paper with a magic circle scribbled on it.

This paper is the ‘communication paper’ received from Scherer after clearing out the clowns.

From Noble mtl dot com

I visited the Ma Pagoda in the margin of the paper. I wrote, ‘Can I meet you?’, Tore the paper into pieces, turned it into powder, and sprinkled it on the desk.

Communication paper is a magical tool created to communicate with others in another world. The material is expensive, making it difficult to put to practical use, and it has the disadvantage of being disposable, but it is still better than nothing and can be used like this.

The paper dust sprinkled on the desk moved slowly and said, ‘I understand.’ It became a text that contained Scherer’s meaning: ‘Please come to the meeting room.’

Okay, we’ve received permission, so let’s go see the Great Sage.

After looking at the map of the inside of the Magic Tower, I found the main meeting room and moved on.

I found a book that looked interesting and lost time, but the meeting room was closer than I thought, so I was able to get there quickly.

I knocked on the door of the meeting room twice.

“Are you there?”

“There is. Please come in.”

After hearing Scherer’s words, I slowly opened the door.

When I opened the door and went in, Scherer was sitting on a chair waiting for me.

“Hello, Great Sage. Thank you for your time today.”

“It doesn’t matter since I just happened to have some free time. Just sit there for now.”

I sat on the chair facing the chair Scherer was sitting on. And I looked around the inside of the meeting room for a moment.

The inside of the meeting room looked like a fairly well-decorated counseling room.

Overall, the colors of the furniture are brown, white, and black, there are paintings on the walls, and there are many pots for growing plants.

The unique, cozy atmosphere was like a counseling room created to provide psychological stability when communicating with people suffering from mental illness.

“It’s very much like a counseling room.”

I accidentally revealed my village too openly.

I said something that felt rude to Shler, the general manager of the Magic Tower, but he nodded and agreed with my opinion.

“Well, I made it this way on purpose, so it must feel that way.”

“On purpose?”

“That’s right. Many wizards are crazy… Most rooms in the Magic Tower have furniture arranged like this to provide emotional stability.”

“Ah… I see.”

For a moment, I thought of an acquaintance who became a research wizard at the Magic Tower.

Clearly, before entering the Magic Tower, he was a sane and smart person. Within a few years of becoming a research wizard, he had become a madman who acted as if a few screws were missing and spent all the money he had on research.

Still, when I went to congratulate him on recently publishing a paper on a mystery he had been researching for several years, he seemed happy, so I guess it doesn’t matter…

“Anyway, why did you come to me? Do you need help or do you want to become enlightened?”

“I came here because I wanted to ask you something.”

“That’s good. I’ll answer to the best of my knowledge.”

Schler appears to be more cooperative than expected.

After all, I have saved this person’s life several times, so is it natural for him to be this cooperative?

I decided not to feel pressured and chose what I wanted to say.

“Do you know anything about the ‘Ira’ family?”

After hearing my words, Scherer’s expression showed embarrassment, even though it was only a short time, barely a second.

… What on earth is this about the Aira family that even the Great Sage is surprised by?

“How do you know about that family?”

“? My family name is Ira. Ivan Ira. That’s my full name.”

“You’re not kidding, are you?”

“Does this seem like a joke?”

I made direct eye contact with the great sage full of doubt.

Surer looked into my eyes for a moment, then placed his head in his hands and lowered his head.

“From the time I knew about Aira, the possibility of it being a lie would be small…”

“That reaction… Are you sure you know something about the Ira family?”

“Yes… I know. It’s really only a small part, a fragmentary story…”

The Great Sage, who is said to know everything, knew about the Aira family, for which there were no documents left.

“Could you tell me at least a fragment of the story?”

I asked with great anticipation, and the wise man thought deeply before nodding his head.

“That’s good. However, there is one condition.”

“Huh? If it’s a condition…”

“Could you please come to the Magic Tower for a moment and cooperate with the experiment I want to conduct?”

Experiment?

“What kind of experiment do you mean? It’s not just a clinical trial… Right?”

“It’s not that big of a deal. It’s a study on whether ordinary people can handle sacred power like you. All you have to do is stay in the magic tower for about four days and participate in the experiment.”

The vacation period coincides with the research period…

It’s a bit uncomfortable, but I need his information right now.

After thinking for a long time, I accepted his proposal.
