I Fell into the Game with Instant Kill-Novel

Chapter 8.1: Asher Gronhilde (1) Bonus chapter! Thank you to Jess for donating! ^^

Level 70.

Considering this and that, an escort of at least level 70 was needed.

It’s a shabby level compared to the Lords, but in the first place, they were monsters outside the standard, and even at level 70, that was actually already very strong.

If level 30 was a level that could massacre 100 ordinary soldiers alone, then level 70 could kill that level 30 easily.

Even if I just went to the Seventh Lord’s castle right away, I could find a person who met the conditions without difficulty.

But the question was, how much could I trust them?

What I really wanted was a helper who would always stick by my side and escort me, but, of course, trust was a bigger problem than ability.

Just in case, I had to have someone I could trust as an escort.

“…haa.”

It’s such a burden to be in a position that didn’t fit one’s ability.

I had done nothing yet, but just thinking about the future made me feel like I was already blocked.

I let out a small sigh and buried my back in the chair.

Then, with a sudden thought, I called Caren outside the room.

“I want to read a book. Is there a library in the castle?”

“Yes, there is.”

I asked just in case, but the answer was positive.

It was said that there was not just one, but several, and even the central library existed separately.

Come to think of it, there was nothing strange about having a library in the castle.

The Overlord’s castle did not differ from the Santea Empire’s imperial palace.

“If you tell me the type of book you want, I will immediately get it for you…”

“No need. I’m planning to go there myself, so guide me.”

“I’ll do that right away.”

Caren said something to the surrounding attendants.

Surprised by this, the attendants hurriedly ran to somewhere. I was just asking for guidance. What were they doing?

Anyway, I followed her to the library.

Every time I met someone walking down the hallway, some of them were startled and silent. I could feel their gaze in between.

I hardly showed my face, let alone did anything, but rumors about me had already spread throughout the castle.

Anyway, elves, beastmen, dwarves, giants, and even some rare races.

Here in Calderic, there were so many races.

It was still a landscape that wasn’t easy to get used to, but it would probably get better.

The central library was a couple of buildings away from the building where my room was located.

The square where the knights who I saw training from the window were near the path, so I passed by and glanced at it.

As soon as I arrived at the library and entered, I saw an old man standing respectfully at the entrance, as if he had been waiting for me.

Judging by the petite body and the shape of the tail attached to the back, he was a member of the rat tribe among the beastmen.

“Welcome, Seventh Lord. It is an honor to have you here in the Central Library.”

…I was wondering why they were in such a hurry. Did they tell the news that I was coming here?

An old man from the rat tribe, who introduced himself as the director, offered to guide me, but I refused because it’s unnecessary.

I left the two of them behind and strolled inside.

The inside of the library was empty with no one, so it was quiet, with no noise.

I didn’t know if it was vacant from the beginning, or if they were all evicted before I came.

After looking around, I could see why the director had offered to guide me.

The classification of books by bookshelf wasn’t that detailed, so it seemed like it would take quite a while to find the book I was looking for.

But it didn’t matter.

I wasn’t looking for a book with a specific content, but anything like a swordsman’s book or a magic book was fine.

I soon found a bookshelf full of magic books and stopped walking.

Then, after picking out a book, I started skimming through it.

There was no problem at all reading the contents.

From the moment I possessed this body for the first time, I could understand the common language of the Rachronia continent, the language of this world that I had never encountered.

“…”

Of course, apart from that, I couldn’t understand a single thing in the book I was reading now.

Magic theory… It seemed to be related to some mathematical principle, but I did not know what it was.

Turning the pages to the end, I clicked my tongue and closed the book.

I didn’t go here to find a magic book to leisurely learn magic.

It’s because when I was playing the game, sometimes there were cases where I could learn a skill from a book-shaped item like a magic book, so I wanted to try if I could find one here.

However, my expectation was too high.

After looking at a few more books, I neatly threw away my lingering feelings.

After spending some time looking at other books, I left the library with Caren, who was waiting at the entrance.

On the way back to the room while I was thinking nonsensical things, the knights training at the square came into my sight again.

A lot of time had passed since a while ago, but it was still a scene where the heated training was in full swing.

“…?”

As I stared at them with little thought, I had no choice but to stop my gaze at one spot.

It was because I suddenly discovered something disparate among the knights.
