Chapter 8: LIBRARY
You'll come tomorrow too? Sera asked as Levi stepped out of the training hall.
Yeah, I also need to practice for my battle with Martin, he said.
Alright, I will be expecting you.
Levi just smiled.
I am already getting used to them, he thought to himself.
Young master Levi, he heard a voice call from behind.
Oh, butler Alric, what is it? He asked.
The master just contacted me, he asked you to head to the library to pick a cultivation technique.
The techniques there are better compared to those taught in the academy, he added.
Yeah, I was actually heading there, he said.
Good, just ask Faye, she will direct you to the best ones.
Okay, thanks.
Levi walked steadily towards the library, occasionally greeting other maids who walked around the house.
What she said about only showing the ones that matter was true, I have lost count of the maids in the house, he thought.
Levi entered the library in a composed manner. The smell of paper wafted around the place, making Levi uncomfortable for a while.
As expected, he met Faye sitting quietly in the middle.
What brings you here, young master?
Levi frowned. How do you always notice when someone enters, even though you're always staring at a book?
Faye smiled.
Seeing she was not going to respond, Levi explained the reason he came to her.
I can help with that, she said.
Please excuse me for a moment.
She turned and called out to Lina calmly.
Yes, Miss Faye.
Good afternoon, young master Levi.
Good afternoon, Levi replied.
Fetch the technique in section 3, area 5.
Lina nodded, right away, she said as she walked deeper into the library.
Lina soon returned with a scroll sealed with a blue thread.
You may leave, she said.
Yes ma. She turned away from their position and returned to where she was previously.
This technique is called silent essence flow.
It is also practised by the Master.
With it, you can cultivate up to Tier 5.
That far? I never expected it to be so advanced.
Yeah, he got it from a secret realm. You are the second person to practise it after him.
Levi stared at the scroll again, then at Faye.
Since I am here, why don't you give me some sword techniques?
Levi had been thinking of how he was going to fight Martin. Although the system rewards him with techniques every day, they are all random, and some could be useless to him.
Why not? I would even pick personally for you.
Faye stood up from her desk.
This way, young master.
She led him deeper into the library.
You use a one-handed sword, right?
Yeah, Levi responded.
Then I know what is most suitable for you, she said.
They arrived at section 7, area 2.
Faye looked at the rows of books gracefully, then picked one.
Crescent Fang(Rare): A rapid slash that unleashes a crescent-shaped arc of sword qi, cutting down enemies at mid-range.
She dropped it into a box, then continued browsing the books.
Falling Star Draw:(Rare) A quick, powerful slash from a still stance. Best used as a counterattack.
Weaving Blade Form(Epic): A flowing sword technique that blends movement and strikes. Good against tricky opponents.
So, what do you say about these three techniques? she asked.
They are okay, Levi said with a nod.
Then they walked back to where they came from.
Thank you, Levi thanked Faye as he walked towards the library door.
It was my pleasure, she replied.
Levi stepped out of the door, carrying the small box that Faye had put the techniques in.
