Thanks to all the merits he had racked up during the past year, Lith had been granted access to the Royal Library. It was the biggest and most complete library in the Griffon Kingdom, covering all the subjects known to mages, including the forbidden ones.
The library was comprised of many floors, one for each element. Normal books could be checked out freely, whereas to consult forbidden books it was necessary to spend merits and receive a recommendation letter from someone with a high clearance level.
In Lith's case, both Professor Marth and Vastor had vouched for him along with his commanding officer. Lith was now sitting behind a hardwood table, surrounded by fellow mages in search of knowledge.
The city of Valeron, the capital of the Griffon Kingdom, was surrounded by all kinds of protective arrays and because of them, Lith couldn't put the valuable tomes inside Soluspedia to read them all in a single moment.
