keeper of the realms

Chapter 7: Chapter 7 The Royal Library



When dinner was over everyone went to their rooms to rest . It had been a long day for William and he could not wait for the next day so that he can visit the library.

William was tired of not knowing anything about the world , he did not even know a place like Frostfire city existed just beyond the black abbysal forest.

The next morning William woke up when the sun was approaching its zenith, apparently he had overslept .he had to admit that sleeping here was much better than on the cold ground back in the forest . In the black abbysal forest William always had to be on guard against any monsters that were waiting for him to let his guard down so that they can strike .

William dressed up in the clothes that the maid who looked after him had prepared and then went to the dining to have his breakfast.

The only person present at that moment was Arya and she seemed to have been waiting for William ."you didn't have to wait for me , you could have left if you were busy" William said to her ,he felt that Arya didn't have to put in this much effort for him.

"Its not a problem at all , I'll just drop you off to the library and then I will be on my way since i have to go to practice" Arya was not bothered and actually seemed happy to help.

William still wondered how Arya could be this kind to a person she barely knows,but still William was thankful to her even though he doesn't say it often.

After having breakfast , Arya dropped off William at the library as promised and then went her way.it was not surprising that the library was located inside the mansion .

The library was grand and unguarded,rows and rows of books filled the area.william decided to start with basic history books since he needed to have this basic knowledge if he wanted to manage on his own then move on to the other books.

After reading the books for some hours , William grasped the basics he needed to know. Currently he was actually in the southern nation in this city called frostfire city.the southern nation had other large cities and the frostfire city was considered small in comparison.

Apart from the southern nation there were other nations namely the eastern nation , the western nation and the central nation.many would expect there to also be a northern nation but there wasn't since to the north the only thing that was present was a vast sea known as the dead sea.

Not much knowledge about the other nations was present in the library . But William also found out something about mana and abilities.

People with abilities had to circulate mana within their bodies so that they can grow strong , this was known as cultivation.now depending on the nature of ones ability, the person would cultivate using a suitable cultivation technique.Some people had the same abilities and were mostly from the same family for example Arya's family, all of them had an ice attribute which was passed in the family making them to have a common cultivation technique .

Ever since William started to feel this strange energy inside his body ,he has been able to feel the spiritual pressure given off by people who had abilities.Depending on how dense one's spiritual pressure was , the strength of that individual can be established.

William wasn't able to find anything that was related to this strange energy in his body.

What interested William the most was that there were professions that people undertook in this world. Like apothecary,which involved creation of strong pills that had wonderful effects on the body eg healing fatal wounds instantly or restoring the depleted mana in one's body.

Other professions included blacksmithing,being a formation master or a beast tamer. All of them had their perks but were also hard to learn.some of the people with this professions didn't posses superb capabilities in combat.

William also discovered that there was an academy by the name Knight's haven in a large city , the blood phoenix city, that taught students the way of properly utilizing abilities and train those without abilities how to utilize the power of weapons.

William decided that he would be journeying to the blood phoenix city so that he can join the Knight's haven.

Also William found out that there were different types of beasts present in Avalor. There were ordinary beasts like the black stripped tiger and the wild boar he faced . This type of beasts didn't posses anything special apart from the innate strength of wild creatures.

The second type was magical creatures,which possessed abilities like those of humans . They are also intelligent when it comes to battle but their intelligence varies with their strength.

The last group was demonic beasts . Just like the name says , this beasts were related to demons but not many had come across them in the mortal realm. The demonic beasts posses immense strength and would easily defeat a cultivator at the same power level .

Time had also flown very quickly and William decided that it was time to get out of there. surprisingly the library had a second floor but William wasn't given access to that area and hence deemed out of bounce. Most probably that was where the Frost family kept their secret cultivation techniques and they wouldn't allow just anyone to look at them.

William took a cold bath and decided to take a stroll in the streets of the Frostfire city. William hadn't really taken the time to admire the beauty of the city and he was already thinking about leaving the Frost family since he didn't want to be seen like he was taking advantage of Arya's kindness.

The streets were all filled with people who were busy with their own businesses .

After a while William decided that it was time that he returned to the mansion. Even though he had decided to leave , William still had to inform Arya's family since he didn't want to seem rude to the people who took him in and helped him.

" Thank you so much for your hospitality but i will be leaving tomorrow" William decided to tell Arya first . Arya didn't have any objections since she also knew that William had made his plans aside.

After dinner William went back to his room to rest , tomorrow he will be going some place else.

At the same time Arya took the time to tell her father and mother about William's decision on leaving the following day.

Both Raymond and Martha did not have a problem with that , they even gave Arya some gold coins so that she can give them to William since he didn't have any money.
