Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master
Chapter 815 Six Months Passed
"You'll deal with one ring at a time, and that will make you just deal with around a few thousand scrolls. Then you'll get some rest, do your stuff, and return later to continue your work."
William got what she wanted from him. She was referring to copying the content of the scrolls and giving one copy to them and the other to the owners of these scrolls.
He didn't mind that. Actually, by them being around, he was going to work in peace of mind, away from any trouble or interruption.
William was led to the same place where he went before to meet with the royal family elders. There he found much more audience than before, enough to make the entire vast hall crowded, filled with many masters wearing different outfits.
The moment William appeared there; the entire hall ushered under heavy silence. William scanned the place, to find out that each group was wearing the same outfit, standing together.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Ahem," an old man, one that William never met or saw before, moved at the same time of his appearance from another side of the hall. His voice was calm, yet it was loud enough to be heard by all, "I'm proud to announce to you William, the one who can read and decipher the mysterious scrolls we all had for endless years without any use."
He didn't need to say such words, but his presence and the way he spoke made William doubt he was one of the top leaders of the family ruling this city, or even the supreme leader.
William exchanged a few words with everyone, but it seemed he didn't need to try and convince him of anything. They were sure of his ability to do what was rumoured, and that told him the royal family of this city already shared part of the scrolls he deciphered with them.
Soon enough, Fonda and others led William back towards the royal library. Alongside them, the first group of masters followed, all wearing the same uniform, as they all came from the same city.
William didn't speak much down there and started to work at once. He knew he'd take a long time to finish just the ones at the meeting hall, and much more was still coming.
He didn't know how many cities would accept his offer and answer his call, but he raised his earlier estimation to be over one hundred cities at the end.
The size of each city's treasury of scrolls wasn't any less than what he saw before in this city.
He had to go through tons of scrolls, mostly speaking about the outer world issues. He decided to read these scrolls for one week, copy all of them, then he'd be free to read only what mattered to him.
There was no seal this time, and so he simply worked as if he was studying or something. Every six hours, he'd spend a couple more in seclusion, copying the scrolls he read, prepare two copies for the city's leaders, then return back and continue working.
The first batch whom he dealt with spread out the news, it was true! He could indeed read through these scrolls and decipher their content. That made the ones he didn't yet interact with quite hopeful to get this secret solved.
No one ever suspected that he was keeping most of the valuable knowledge to himself. And how would they'd know that when William was the only person in the entire world's history to be able to read these scrolls.
This kept going for a long time, days passed fast, and weeks as well. William didn't know that by the time he stayed here, more people came from far away cities. Soon enough, six months passed.
During which, he asked for leave once per month. He slept for a day, worked on arranging his new loot of scrolls for two more days. He didn't forget to send messages over to Sloth, without getting any answer.
After the passage of all this time, William started to worry over his friends and team. He spent lots of time here, and he didn't get any answer from Sloth, not even once.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYet he knew he couldn't just ask to leave. If he did, then all of the big shots here would stick to his side, and he didn't want that.
"I have to trust their abilities," he muttered to himself, while returning to focus on his task.
What he didn't know was that his team was having their own adventure. When William arrived here, he felt like this world was on the verge of collapsing. He totally forgot about this. But his team was now facing a great challenge.
The first few months passed without any issue at all. Sloth was indeed a fearsome master, and he led them around to hunt any weak monsters around. There wasn't that much to begin with, but eventually they found random monsters which dared to traverse this place.
They were strong indeed, and even with Sloth around, they had to exert lots of effort to take down these monsters.
Yet every single one of them was huge enough to satisfy their food needs for weeks. At the same time, Sloth was receiving the messages William sent, yet failed to send back anything.
"Weird… What's interfering with my special Message Paper?!" After trying many things and failing, Sloth started to wonder about this matter.
His puzzlement was soon solved. After staying in this place for six months, they got used to everything in it. The scary monsters up there were now looking like passing clouds and didn't stir any trouble or fear in their hearts and spirits.
Even if a single monster was able to flatten the entire ground with a simple wave of their claws or tails, they didn't even give anything happening at the ground any care.
The group of masters feared at their first few battles that the loudness and fierceness of these clashes would attract the attention of the terrifying monsters high above. And yet none of this happened, not until six months passed.
*Rumble!*
