William kept writing for long hours, and after an entire day he finished writing hundreds of scrolls. These were the copies of the scrolls he read at the library.
"Hmm… Nothing is related to each other… Damn!"After doing all this, he ended up with scrolls that weren't speaking about the same topic. He hoped he'd find a few scrolls connected to each other but didn't.
"At least I stored what I read…" he stored away all the scrolls inside one ring, sealed it with a few little arrays that he engraved their symbols on it using spirit power encrypting techniques. Then he stretched his arms, feeling deadly tired, went to the bed and had a long nap.
He slept for half a day. During this time, the two girls were discussing lots of things outside. They were curious about what William read, what he was doing inside his room.
They didn't buy his lie about his need to sleep. The two watched him stay for days and even weeks without complaining about this. So, when he asked to retreat and rest, they knew he was up to something.
Their thoughts went all over the place, but never guessed that he was copying the contents of scrolls he read so he wouldn't forget them.
As they were busy thinking and waiting for him to come out, there was another debate far away from here. The royal family powerhouses didn't like how things ended up with William.
They interrogated the five youths they sent over and over again and didn't get anything from this. What William didn't know was that these youths were equipped with recording items, things like recording crystals, but with more advanced abilities.
They wouldn't just record what was happening around the owner, but they also could analyse the use of spirit power in the air. The royal family's formidable masters thought that William was using some sort of a secretive technique, one that would allow him to grasp the meaning behind these weird writings.
Yet they found no disturbance in the spirit power in the area. The only disturbance came from their family's youths, not from William. And that made them truly puzzled.
The only explanation they got was the one they got from Tara before, William could read this language perfectly fine.
That made them more unsettled and curious to learn this language. Whoever would learn this tongue would be able to read through any scroll in the world.
William didn't know this, but the entire mysterious loot the various cities and strong forces in this world had been all written by these weird symbols. Even if masters in this world couldn't read or understand what these writings meant, they could at least realise they all belong to the same language.
Reaching this conclusion about William made them think about ways to force this teenager to spill out everything he knew and share with them what he had learnt so far at least.
Few grew greedy to control such power as William. Whoever would read this language would enjoy a special privilege in the entire world, not to mention the ability to learn tons of secrets and grow stronger.
Yet others were focused more on how to make a deal with William. The first ideas proposed by them got negated when they contacted Tara using one of the elders who knew her.
She said that William never showed any interest in wealth or anything. The only thing he cared about since the first moments she met him was to get to the library and read its content.
That made them pretty puzzled. They asked her to learn more about him from his cousin, Angelica. And the latter just added more puzzles to the entire picture.
Angelica met William and travelled with him for a long time. She also agreed with Tara's words, explaining that William never showed any interest towards wealth or fame.
She kept the part related to William's true identity and origin hidden and spoke as if she knew him for her entire life. Yet she added a small part that made the royal family elders heave a sigh of relief, which was William's desire to grow stronger.
"If he wants to grow stronger, we can just give him the chance to learn from our strongest masters," as they discussed this, they finally reached such a conclusion.
They thought they found a middle ground, one which would let William work with them. They didn't know that William wouldn't agree, as he didn't need a master or anything.
In the middle of their meeting, news came to their ears. William came out from his room and was ready to head towards the royal library again.
Tara delivered such news. The leaders of the royal family decided to meet up with William first. If such a deal didn't pass, then they'd use their right to prevent him from accessing the library unless he'd share part of what he learnt with them.
"They want to meet me? Fine, lead the way then," William wasn't surprised by such news. He just finished eating a delicious meal, then followed Tara towards the royal area again.
This time they didn't just walk there alone. Once they arrived at the gate, they found a group of royal family members waiting for them, led by a middle-aged woman.
"I'm Jack's mother, Fonda," the lady introduced herself the moment she met William, "come, the elders are waiting for you inside."
William didn't say anything except replying to the greeting with another. There were other youths here, not Jack or any of the other four relatives who were with him before.
William didn't care about any of that, and simply followed in silence after Fonda and her entourage. They passed through a different route than the one they took when they came for the library, ending up in the heart of the royal area.
There, buildings were grand and majestic, with lots of domes in all of them.
