Chapter 95 - Searching
With the directions provided by Alexander, Dror soon found the books that he was looking for.
The language used by this ancient civilization was an offshoot of the language taught by the Evil sword to him in the past.
Soon he was able to gain a basic understanding of the books and by providing some incentives to the Evil sword, he was able to gain a better understanding.
But seeing this the other person was gobsmacked, many historians had tried to crack this language and read the secrets of ancient civilization.
But they have not made much progress, but this guy seems to be reading the books like another day's newspaper.
Alexander got close to Dror " hmmm… can you read the ancient language..."
Dror instantly realized his mistake, so he replied while scratching his head " ha ha ha… how can I read just like that, I only have a little knowledge about the ancient language … I am just skimming through to get a better understanding, and looking if there are any pictures..."
Alexander was not fully convinced but still chose to believe most of what Dror said.
There was no one who fully understood the ancient language that well, unless he or she was an old monster that has lived from that Era…
Alexander was an historian and had a great interest in the old language, so he started having a conversation regarding the book's content with Dror.
Even though Dror felt troubled as this was a waste of time for him and he had to pretend to be a nobody.
On the other hand Alexander was getting more interested and energetic as the discussion went on, he could see that Dror had a better understanding of the language than him.
Since there was no one around the rule to keep silent didn't have much value here, In the end Dror couldn't do what he came to do.
That is when the idea of taking the book to his room appeared, but he soon erased the idea as this might be like leaving clues for someone to figure out his future endeavors.
But the predicament ended when Alexander's excitement died down and he realized that. As a scholar and historian he shouldn't be taking the other person's precious reading time.
The presence of Alexander was not a complete nuisance for Dror, as Alexander had great knowledge regarding almost everything and a general understanding of where to find which kind of books in the ancient section.
Soon Alexander went back to his own reading and Dror was left to his own devices.
But the sheer number of books was too much and since he couldn't use his power he was haggard, so he started visiting the library regularly for the next few days.
On the 3rd day he found an important book which depicted more or less everything in the underground mine.
He also found manuals related to the machines that were used by the ancients.
He spent two more days reading and taking notes related to things that he deemed important.
Of course he would also meet with his reading buddy Alexander every day and discuss some things related to history and language every now and then.
The next day when it was almost midnight inside an abandoned part of the mine, a black shadow was moving fast through the labyrinth-like paths of the mine.
Dror had disguised himself and sneaked into the mines after most of the miners and soldiers had left the mine.
The glory of the ancient architecture had clearly faded away and moss had started growing here and there.
No one visited this area as it had been long sealed away by the rebel army.
Even though it was sealed away, It was just to prevent ordinary miners from wandering into these areas.
As far as cultivators were considered they could easily enter it.
With the help of the Evil sword it was a piece of cake for Dror to travel through abandoned areas of the mine.
Soon they reached an area which has been filled with rubble and big rocks, this area has been clearly damaged by some earthquakes or something.
Most of the parts were submerged under the rubble.
This was one of the hidden areas found by the Evil sword when it was searching for information regarding the mine and Ancient civilization.
