Chapter 897 897: ...Not Good
"Wait, what happened...? Why are we leaving already?"
"We need to find a cosmic piece, Miss Pepondosovich — I need to have a talk with Navi."
"So... the old lady wasn't who you were looking for?"
"No." Unravel the Unknown, Unleash the Unimaginable: N♡vεlB¡n.
"Ack!"
"Why do you seem more affected than Master, Miss Pepondosovich?"
Riley and the others were now heading their way out of the castle. The looks that everyone was giving them, even more intense than when they came. After all, how could the knights and all the attendants not be curious about Riley, when the Lady of the House herself invited him into her private chambers?
What could the two of them have done during that time? Of course, they might be hanged by Lord Erikson for having such thoughts, but surely, he can't blame them for thinking of such things. Lady Irene is old, true — but she still had some vigor left in her.
But alas, no one would really know what happened as Riley had already stepped out of the castle.
"Anyway, I and Miss Esme here asked around while you were out frolicking with the Madam," Miss Pepondosovich nodded her head at Esme as the three continued to walk, "And apparently, the library that winged god told us doesn't exist anymore."
"It doesn't exist anymore?" Riley could not help but blink a couple of times upon hearing Miss Pepondosovich's revelation, "Then that means our only clue for the cosmic piece is gone, Miss Pepondosovich."
"Not quite," Miss Pepondosovich raised her head and started wagging her finger, "The library doesn't exist anymore, because it has been turned into a college for wizardry."
"Wizards exist here?" Riley tilted his head to the side, and so did Esme, "I thought the people living here were just normal humans, Miss Pepondosovich?"
"As normal as they could be in the Domain of the Gods," Miss Pepondosovich shrugged, "They evolved from the creatures created by us, Riri. The kind of normal you are thinking of does not really match up with them — anything goes."
"Interesting," Riley placed his hand on his chin, "And this college replaced the library?"
"They told us they built over it," Miss Pepondosovich nodded as she glanced at Esme, "They said it was on the west side of the city?"
"Yes, Miss Pepondosovich."
"Well, let's go!" Miss Pepondosovich raised her hand, almost hopping toward the direction she was pointing to before remembering they were supposed to blend in with the humans.
"May I ask you a question, Miss Pepondosovich?" Esme glanced toward the land above them that served as the domain's sky, "How exactly do you know which way is west when there are no celestial markings helping you? I expected the people of this world would have a different way of finding their way. Although, I suppose there are shadows."
"The wind," Miss Pepondosovich raised her finger, "The wind on the infinite lands of Manirosa only blows in one direction, and that is what they consider to be north."
