Chapter 377: The Old One (2)
Hex flipped through his mother’s diary. Instead of reading it carefully, he browsed the content, trying to discover whether it discussed certain topics he was interested in. Topics regarding the End.
His mood had improved greatly during the breakfast, especially because Old Man Perl never mentioned the Sand Burial Monarch’s crystal.
With Medina nowhere near, he decided to check her diary out first. She had also spent some time with the Dawnbringers and serving the Divine Lord, who was one of the main characters of this war.
The first part of the Diary discussed her life in Wrixia as an outcast. A cursory glance into the content revealed a little how much she studied, looking up all kinds of ancient and outdated practices. She seemed especially fascinated with the Deities and the Origin stories.
’She lived in Age without Deities, as a Cursed person. Yet, she sought their power.’ Her notes revealed she worked hard to gain entrance into some libraries that held a lot of information about the Deities. Hex made a mental note to search for these libraries. He remembered being told that Wrixia’s main library holding most of the information was at the core.
Although he wished to read everything in detail, time was of essence. In a little while the group would leave the Inn. Sterling wanted to show Hex around and also introduce many of the competitors they would have to go up against.
Suddenly, after going through more than half of the pages, he caught a sentence that made him halt.
...today I failed again. Despite achieving first place in the Dryad papers, I am still denied access to the special section of the library. I am certain the Origin of the World is explained there. In one of those Tomes. I just know it. But they refuse to grant me access, saying only the High Elders can permit access to someone. But getting an audience with a normal Elder isn’t possible for me, let alone a High Elder.
’That is disturbing to know,’ Hex mused. He had believed he could access all the information easily. In retrospect, it made sense. Having all the information accessible to everyone would bring more chaos than anything else.
