Am A Librarian Not A Servant Of The Demon God
Hunting Wilde

Byron looked at the approaching elf and muttered, "Master?"

He was really surprised.

From his knowledge of history, those who were able to make elves worship them were probably only the four Primordial Magicians.

But there was no way the Primordial Witch had descended from dreamland and was in the bookstore right across the street.

"My blessed lord's majesty has the right to represent my master's will."

Doris turned towards Byron and flashed a beaming smile. “It looks like the Truth Union is getting more and more unreasonable day by day. Is it the kindness of my master that makes you all have such foolish courage, or is it too much curiosity that has messed up your brains, giving you the courage to pry at what my master is doing?

Byron was wearing a set of easily recognizable scholar robes with the symbol of the Truth Association emblazoned, He was no stranger to the kind of words and tones this elf used. This is how a faithful believer who is all for their 'lord.

It was not just limited to the Dome Church and other official religions. Even within the Society of Truth, there were also some people who would become fanatics when talking about the greatness of knowledge.

The extraordinarily dazzling aether was like a torch emanating from the elves across from them and she did not hide her dangerous aura at all, It allowed Byron to be aware of his confused state and he was able to withstand his overwhelming curiosity. After being stunned for a while, he realized his back was filled with cold sweat.

What was I thinking?

Ignoring Mr. Joseph's advice, falling out with him and trying to break into a place classified as an S-Rank zone by the Secret Rite Tower. My curiosity will get me killed even if I have many lives.

Right now, Byron was confused and had a prolonged fear. He swore to himself that he didn't want to do it at first.

Although he was the only person in charge sent by the Truth Union, he did not really have much combat ability and was purely responsible for setting records.

For a fight between the rank of Destroyer, the one who should be leading the investigation should also be the rank of Destroyer. Moreover, Joseph, the former Great Radiant Knight was there.

Byron did not know why he could not think well…

He stared at the strange little bookstore then bowed. "No no no no. I'm so sorry. Please forgive me. I was just trying to fulfill my duty to investigate the matter fully and make a report. That's all there is to it. I'm sure your kind-hearted master won't care about a foolish seeker of knowledge like me.

He had realized that this elf was the one who was involved in that battle. Since that was the case, just having a simple understanding of the incident was enough.

As for that bookstore..It was too dangerous!

Doris returned her smile. "You must rejoice."

He walked up to the two men and said, “For some reason, these black magicians suddenly tried to use the Destruction level 'Polarizing Death Ray' spell in the bookstore and surrounding areas. I stepped forward to stop him and kill them. That's all there is to it.

Joseph took a step forward and stood in front of Byron. "What do you think is the reason for their actions?"

In his heart, he had already added the information he knew about the owner of the bookstore.

From the looks of it, the Scarlet Cult black mages simultaneously launched three targeted attacks on existences that would be a huge obstacle to their operations. It could also be considered a large-scale counterattack, and this battle was one of the three.

In the past month, a joint investigation between the Secret Rite Tower and Truth Union had caused many of the Scarlet Cult's and White Wolf's secret hideouts to be dismantled.

Their hiding places were dwindling but the place where the Magic Egg Mirror was hidden had yet to be revealed, On one hand, it was due to their careful operation. They would immediately retreat through the teleportation gate whenever they succeeded and never linger. Even if any members were caught, they would basically kill themselves on the spot.

Although the Scarlet Cult was not really a sect, their style operated as if they were all crazy fanatics, Another aspect of this was because the Morphey Immortal Coffin 'Precant' continued to arouse its members.

These resurrected puppets were numerous and even though they were weaker than the original, they were still a huge hindrance to investigation.

But their other attacks were targeted at the 'Spider', a branch of hunters that had broken off from the White Wolf.

Due to the loss of the 'Rat' Ruen information network as well as the 'Spider' which consisted of members familiar with the White Wolf organization, the, White Wolf suffered a huge loss and was almost destroyed before they cooperated completely with the Scarlet Cult.

The last remaining attack was against the Secret Rite Tower and the Truth Union that they fought every day, only this time it was more ferocious.

Anyone with a brain could easily guess that all this madness was happening because the incubation of the Magic Ovum Mirror was in its final stages.

However, unexpectedly, a problem had occurred not at the lower rungs of the ladder, but at the top of the hierarchy. The supreme leader, 'Precant' Morphey had been killed in a battle that should have been easy and direct.

From the looks of it, the bookstore owner must have done something bad to the Scarlet Cult for him to be targeted and now, he had made himself a subordinate to get rid of the head of the Scarlet Sect.

This is the bookstore owner who chose to stand on our side! Joseph thought to himself, Doris' beautiful smile is not lost at all. He could see that the knight in front of him was trying to protect the young man behind him.

He tilted his head and frowned slightly, “How do I know? Shouldn't I be the one asking you? I arrived at Norzin representing the Iris Clan only to see my master's envoy receive an attack that the thugs could not explain. Should I sit still and not strike back?

“After all, I just helped you stop this thug, but instead of thanking you, you guys are trying to interrogate me in an arrogant way. Is this how Norzin treats his visitors?”

Joseph slightly loosened his mechanical limbs and nodded. “I admit that our handling of this incident is inadequate. I have a lot of respect for the owner of this bookstore and I am very grateful to him. He once loaned me a book that helped solve a problem I had been through for a long time. If not for the uncomfortable circumstances today, I would definitely visit him now.

Byron chimed in haste, “Since this issue has already been resolved, we can return to submit our report. The Union of Truth expresses our gratitude for the contribution you have made to Norzin.”

The communication device on his body rang as soon as he spoke.

Byron picked it up and his pupils narrowed as he looked at his display. He immediately inspired the aether to call and take a deep breath. "Vice chairman, sir."

“Um, Byron, hand over his communication device to the sages of the Iris Clan.”

Byron held it carefully and looked towards Doris who was taking it in delight.

The voice at the other end sounded old but powerful. “Doris, already 300 years. I hope you're okay?"

“Andrew?”

...----------------...

Norzin Central District, United General Office of Truth, The white marble building has a delicate design and slender floorboards that even appear to shine. The interior is spacious with sofas, chairs, coffee tables, whiteboards, and many discussion zones flanking the open courtyard at the midpoint of the building.

This complex 13-story building is like a great combination between a school building and a library. The ancient dragon skeleton was wrapped in glass inside the central courtyard of the openwork, serving as a display for people to admire.

Currently, the luxury furnished office on the top floor is like the center of activity of the elderly. Two old men sat facing each other against a chessboard on a coffee table between them.

"Never imagined that the Iris Clan would reappear." One of the old men pondered as he glanced at Vice Chairman of the Truth Society Andrew who walked to the balcony to call. "The old crush reappeared suddenly, but it was a pity that the dashing young man was now a misty old man."

"Be careful or your Alchemy funds will be cut." The other old man teased softly as he reached out to move the chess piece. “Wilde's gift has been received by someone. Other large amounts will be paid and you can wait for your messy research project to be saved.

'The 'Gift' set by the Society of Truth was something that everyone knew, It had been two whole years yet no one had actually received this gift.

First, it is the duty of the knights of the Secret Rite Tower to eradicate evil and maintain peace. Also, most people do not need excessive justice.

The rank of the crippled Destroyer was still a force to be reckoned with.

Even a half-dead Destructive rank could still kill a Pandemonium rank with just a twitch of the lips as long as he could still utilize the aether.

No one below the rank Destroyer power would dare to take this bullet, And is there a rank Destroyer that needs money?

They were all great beings, and would it be necessary to do the job personally if they wanted to kill someone?

Third, failure will damage their own reputation, so that profits do not cover losses.

Moreover, even Joseph, Wilde's greatest enemy had not even received this gift, so why should most people join in the excitement?

Moreover, Wilde's whereabouts are still unknown until now. There was no way to verify if he was still alive without accurate information.

Earlier, there had been some rumors that Wilde was inside Norzin, but there has been no follow-up since.

Accepting this job means spending a lot of effort to find the lost Wilde first which is a difficult task.

For this reason, Wilde's gift being taken for the first time in two years is nothing out of the ordinary.

Walter Leonard, the Alchemy Chief of the Truth Society denied with dissatisfaction when he heard what was said. “If my project is a messy research project, then your mechanical department is completely useless. All you do is research things like 'full automatic hair washers' or 'all-purpose muffler gloves'. In my opinion, the vice chairman should cut your expenses.”

Afterwards, he asked with a strange expression on his face, “Is it true that someone took Wilde's gift? I wonder which Destructive ratings are bored or have too much free time.”

Leonard then looked at something on the chessboard and said triumphantly, "Feige dear, I suspect you are using this to distract me so that you can cheat your way to victory."

The head of the Mechanical Department, Rowell Feige hit the table and exclaimed in a high tone. "Hey, do I look like that guy?"

"You don't look like that." Leonard shook his head. He then shifted one of his chess pieces and said confidently, “You are one!”

Feige sighed, "Although you wrongly accused me, I still treat you as my best friend."

Leonard sneered, "Anyone can be Feige's cunning, merciless, greedy friend when it comes to money."

Feige shook his head. “You misjudged me. However, I must say this, all my research is useful. The 'Clay Idol' plan reached its final stage. We can proceed to the last step after we get the philosopher's stone.

“And it's all thanks to Lady Doris' help. The philosopher's stone of the Coffin of Eternal Rest is much better than the one you produce by alchemists. ”

Leonard looked at the old man with a puzzled look. Pulling his ear, he said mockingly, “I have heard the phrase 'Continue with the last step' many times but each time, a certain someone will hold a failure report and continue to ask for funds for a trial. Sometimes, I really wonder if this is all a big scam to get more funds.”

"That's because you gave us an inadequate philosopher's stone!"

“Do not try to give a reason. Obviously, your department's expertise is lacking!”

The two old men glared at each other for a moment, then humped at the same time and returned their eyes back to the chessboard.

After a while, Leonard unwillingly spoke up. "You haven't told me who actually took the gift?"

Although he could only use the internal network of the Union of Truth to conduct a search, he would feel that using such 'external help' was a bit embarrassing.

"Ha," Feige let out a strange laugh, pleased that the Head of the Alchemy Department was the first to speak. “I just know that you won't be able to guess it. The one who received the reward this time was not a rank Destroyer but rather a rank hunter Pandemonium.”

"A hunter? Pandemonium-rank?” Leonard raised an eyebrow. "Are you kidding me?"

His line of thought immediately changed.

No, if the Union of Truth could allow this person to take the reward, it meant that he did have at least a 50% chance of completing the mission.

But if this hunter is just a Pandemonium rank, then the answer is obviously—

"Accreditation of destructive ranking progress?"

A person who wants to rise up the ranks in the annual list of the Union of Truth must prove themselves by deeds.

For example, someone who defeated the rank of Destroyer in battle would be evaluated as a new rank of Destroyer.

Those who do not fight all the time can also go through the standard aether test, only they will have an indication of 'standard tests' behind their name. Somehow, it would make them seem a step lower than the others, so most people usually get their accreditation through fighting deeds.

"That's right," Feige said with a nod. “Pandemonium rank hunter, 'Pale Nightwatcher' Burton Ackerman has suggested taking Wilde's gift to prove himself.

“During the standardization test, he was able to display the strength of the level of Destruction after injecting himself with dirty blood. So, we approve his application.”

Leonard nodded his head. "I see, but can he really find ..."

"What are you two talking about?" Andrew suddenly walked in and interrupted the conversation between the two. He sat down on the sofa beside them and threw away his communication device.

Vice-chairman of the Truth Union sighed, “I never imagined this..”.

"Vice chief, what's wrong?" Leonard asked.

Andrew had a complicated look in his eyes as he lamented, “300 years have passed. I've aged a lot but he's still exactly the same and even his way of speaking hasn't changed in the least. It makes me feel as if I am in a dream.”

Leonard thought to himself that this might be melancholy from seeing an old crush once again.

Elves like Doris are creatures with a long life. What to regret?

However, it would be best if he did not say it out loud for the sake of his funding.

Feige asked, “Vice chairman, what exactly happened to that bookstore? Did the Iris Clan really declare him their master?"

“Not him, but the entity behind him. Secret Rite Tower has sent their case files. See for yourself.”

Andrew's brows furrowed as he said this with hatred veiled in his eyes. “I also never imagined there would be a Highest Rank unnoticed in Norzin. But the file was personally written by Joseph and we have to treat it with importance. However, the existence of such an entity in Norzin will eventually be troublesome.”

"So, you mean?" ask Leonard.

"We wait and see." Andrew stood up and said calmly, “Wilde and the owner of this bookstore have a relationship. Guide Ackerman and let him be our eyes.”
