After spending some time at the balcony, he returned to his room to have a good night rest after spending an exhausting day with the announcement and the nobles. Surprisingly, he doesn't have any nightmares and slept peacefully.
It was daybreak and Iode woke up new and refreshed with replenished energy and vitality. This time, instead of exploring the capital city, he made up his mind to go to Igor's library. But to go there he needs to seek the audience of the Archmage.
He took his bath and dressed up, he did not wait for breakfast before setting out. He walked up to the Archmage's office which was at the topmost floor of the tower. Along the way, he saw the stewards and hands-maidens working enthusiastically around the tower.
They were smiling with beaming radiance. Moving along each floor, they kept greeting him and having an unnatural smile on their faces. Seems having been the successor of Igor caused all this, he doesn't like it one bit, but at the same time a bit delighted.
He got to the Archmage's office and knocked twice at the door, but it seems like the Archmage is busy with something so he waited for sometime before knocking again. After a bit of sometime, Archmage Averay got out of his office to see who was knocking at the door but it turns out to be the successor of Igor.
"My word, how long have you been standing there, I'm sorry". Averay said apologetically with a beaming smile.
"It's no problem i haven't been standing here long anyways". Iode replied.
"What does the successor of Igor needs to seek me" the Archmage asked.
"I need permission and key to Igor's library ". Iode replied.
"Ha ha ha ha ". The Archmage laughed.
"You don't need a key and as the permission, since you are the successor of Igor you are free to go anywhere in the tower minus my office of course "
"Moreover, the door would let you in since you are the successor of it creator. You came all the way up here for just that? kid just go and spend your time there, I'm sure you probably have a lot of questions ". Averay said holding Iode by the shoulder
"Thanks your eminence ". Iode said bowing down.
Archmage Averay bid him farewell as he returns to continue his business. Igor's library is just below the Archmage's office, he went back down to go there.
The library has a huge arch door twice the size of Iode. He took a deep breath and said:
"It's time to get answers to my pressing questions "
He placed his hands on the handle-less door which slid open effortlessly. Iode widens his eyes seeing the majestic beauty of the awe inspiring elegance of the library, filled with thousands of books each from different sources, labeled and separated according to the topics discussed in each of them.
The bookshelves was high and tall with a staggering 3 meter height and the place was filled with them.
"Whoa!!!" Iode exclaimated, mesmerized by the beauty of the place. The shelves were made with well polished woods. To have survived all this time without being infested by termite or rot, a serious preservation work was done here.
Iode wondered if all the tower libraries where like this, too bad he might not be able to see them. He walked inside the library to explore a bit before getting into business. At what he assumes to be the center of the library, a large orb was placed, it was purple in color and emanating strong mana. Iode was tempted to touch it but something else caught his attention.
It was the hologram statues of the original five. At the extreme left was Orpheus Tucker, a man full of beard in his face,he has a long goatee, red hair and eyes and wore a red rope with beautiful designs on them. He was the creator of the Red tower.
Beside him, by his right was Barbara Karma, she has a long blue hair and eyes and sharp looking face which is quite beautiful to stare at. She wore a blue rope. She is the creator of the Blue tower.
At the middle stood Igor Zenivia, he had a clean shaved face with purple hair matching his purple eyes and rope. He stood tall and proud, with a smile.
By his right is his sister, Seraph Zenivia. Her blonde hair matching her yellow rope and yellow eyes, she would be considered a beauty. She is the creator of the Yellow tower. If it wasn't the fact that Igor and Seraph bear the same name and a written evidence of their sibling relationship, it is almost unbelievable that they are related.
By her right is Larmore Aetheria, the creator of the Green tower. He has a green hair and eyes matching his green rope he wore. For some reason, the color of their auras matches the color of their physical characteristics. Iode wondered if it was their magic powers that affected them.
But that is not what he came for, he turned away and stare at the purple orb emanating strong mana. He is quite curious to know what insane power made the orb.
