Chapter 334: 137. Holy Object

"Book Knight?"

Moli glanced at the ancient book floating in midair, and at this moment, she seemed to feel that the book, even without a human body, held its head high in the air as if to prove its own nobility and excellence.

Moli was considering whether this "Sir Emhart" book was like the novels had said, once having a wizard use dark witchcraft to seal the soul of a real Earl into it. Then, a giant frog needed to kiss the book to set the Knight free...

Well, that was probably a story about the Book Prince and the frog Princess.

But Fisher took a look at the book in front of him. Its cover, as if weathered by years yet without a single wrinkle, not a speck of dust, had a pair of anthropomorphic eyes that blinked but, alas, had no eyelashes, making it seem like a scene from a horror film in the pitch-black library.

"Are you a relic?"

Indeed, Fisher had deduced that the book in front of him was not actually a creature but a very finely crafted artifact.

"Ah, a relic... yes, you younger generations like to call such magical, unknowingly crafted Creations that way, like gifts handed down from ancient times. Yes, the distinguished Sir Emhart is an artifact, if you prefer to call me that."

He wobbled in midair, then the pages fanned out accordion-style,

"However, I still prefer the original name given to us by our noble creators, Anorlunda... oh, that’s in Holy Descendants’ language. Translated into Nali Language, it means ’Holy Creation’, which is better suited as ’Holy Object’."

"Holy Object?"

"Yes, a long-lost mythical technique, but I also don’t know how I was created... after all, you know, how could anyone possibly know exactly how they were made? Especially when you’re still a book..."

Moli opened her mouth but didn’t point out the fact that the book referred to itself as a "person."

Beside her, Fisher had almost confirmed through the conversation that this strange book harbored no ill will toward them. Afterward, he changed his tone and asked about Sir Emhart’s intentions,

"If you are a very cherished relic, how come you are here? In the Human Royal Library, and not in some well-preserved ruin?"

"Well, I don’t have any particular hobbies, just a special fondness for recording the contents of all books in the world. Oh, speaking of which, I always wonder whether this love for books comes from myself or from the setup that the great Holy Descendants put in me when they created me?"

"Ever since waking up, I’ve been drifting around in various places in the world, reading a variety of books. I came to this library decades ago, and I’ve read all the books here so far. Oh, originally I just planned on having a few months of good sleep here before leaving for the next place with a collection of books. I didn’t expect to encounter such good fortune tonight..."

The Book Knight kept floating in midair, gradually flying over to Fisher’s side, circling around him non-stop,

"I can feel it. You’re carrying two profoundly mysterious books! Right? Right! Oh my, it’s been so long since I’ve smelled such fragrant books; they must contain many earth-shattering secrets. About the Chaos Species? The Demon Species? Or is it... about that unspeakable word?"

The book drew closer and closer to him, the drake-like male voice getting softer and softer, until it was about to reach his ear, Fisher grabbed it in his hand, letting its cover eyes blink at him.

"The unspeakable word?"

"Oh, it’s not that? Now I’m even more curious! Please, I just want to read the content of those two books and then record it. It’s been so long since I’ve smelled such enticing knowledge, even the Gedelin Royal Family’s collection of books tastes bland to me. Please, kind Human, let me read what’s inside."

His voice, while grating and pitiful, gave Fisher the subtle feeling that the enticing books the book spoke of were the Completion Manuals he held close.

The two manuals in his chest warmed slightly; this was the first time anyone other than himself had noticed the existence of the Completion Manuals because, under normal circumstances, even if he displayed those two manuals, others couldn’t see them.

Could it be that the Constitution of Humans and artifacts is different?

Or is it because Sir Emhart is inherently a book?

"Fisher has no books on him; could you be having a blocked nose, or maybe sleeping too long has made you silly?"

Moli and Fisher had swum over together, and from her perspective, Fisher was completely soaked yet she saw no sign of any books; and even if he was carrying them, the two books would be thoroughly soaked, and he would have had to take them out to dry, right?

"No, no! How dare you, little Whale Species, question my thirst for books. That exquisite scent, just like a dish sealed under a warming magic spell in an apartment room two streets away, the smell is so faint... but marvellous..."
