"Is it possible for me to read the books here when I have time in the future?" Arlon asked.
Zephyrion shook his head. "They belong to the government, not to me, so I can't allow it."
Arlon wasn't ready to give up. He wanted to uncover more about the past and EVR. No matter what, he was part of both this world and the "game."
"Hmm... What about a trade, then?" Arlon proposed, his tone calm but determined.
Zephyrion's lips curled into a faint smirk. "What do you have to offer?"
Arlon opened his inventory and began pulling out books, one after another. Soon, ten volumes were stacked neatly in his hands.
"I have history books written by Agema," he replied smugly, clearly pleased with his leverage.
He had more than ten books in his possession, but he decided ten would suffice for now. Borrowing the library's resources was his goal, and he could always use the rest of his collection as leverage in the future.
