Chapter 548: Touch and be touched
“I think we can only pick books we actually want to read,” Cinthia guessed, the candles around her immediately blowing out.
“Oh… That does explain what was going on. I can’t believe I didn’t realize that faster…”
“We should get on to the next section… But yeah, even for me, it was just a guess,” Cinthia confessed, “It’s just that the only book that rejected me so far was the only one I tried to pick that I didn’t care about.”
As Sofia and Cinthia returned to light once again, Sofia started reading the titles, while asking Cinthia a question, “You were really interested in methods to clean silk?”
“My mom is a [Weaver], she crafts fabric for a living, even now that I send her some of my money from the sect she’s still doing it, most of my clothes are sewn with homemade stuff…”
“Oh! Nice. This section seems like it’s about defensive magic? It’s shorter than the previous ones.” I shouldn’t have any issue picking from those.
Sofia grabbed one of the books with a promising title, opened it, quickly read through it and closed it, forgetting all about its contents.
This really feels pointless…
With a sigh, Sofia tried to open the book again, but it was tightly shut, the pages sticking together the book had become more brick than literature.
