Chapter 189: The Tin Knight and The World Inside The Library (9)
Tower of Foresight. In front of the Secret Library.
Apprentice mage Poi was reflecting on his recent conduct.
He wondered what sin he had committed to end up in such an awkward situation.
Poi’s mage rank was one book.
He could be called the bottom of the barrel among the tower’s mage.
He always had to be respectful to seniors with two books, and never let his guard down in front of those with three books.
And that was all. It might be surprising, but Poi actually thought the scariest were the 2nd rank seniors and the most tiresome were the 3rd rank seniors, while he had no particular feelings towards 4th or 5th rank.
It was similar to how a private fears fellow soldiers or officers he directly faced, not generals he’d never meet.
But now?
The 2nd rank who usually played tricks on Poi, or the 3rd rank who were as frightening as grim reapers, were nowhere to be seen.
All that remained were those of incomparably high rank with four books or more.
In a way, this was natural. The floor Poi was on now was a place where even setting foot was not allowed unless one were 4th rank.
