Chapter 428: No Cause for Concern
A small glimmer that poured out from the gourd circled around Fang Zhou’s fingertips, like a firefly with a life of its own.
The Night Mouse glanced over and explained, "This is Soul Power, also the reason those monsters can still move. Absorbing it can enhance your strength, but too much of it can have serious effects on your body, so I advise you not to touch it lightly."
Fang Zhou could only reabsorb the glimmer back into the gourd. Since it’s a form of energy, keeping it might prove useful in the future, and it’s not taking up any space anyway.
With nothing else to do, Fang Zhou looked through all the books on the Night Mouse’s bookshelf, only to find that they were written in a language he couldn’t understand. The books were also very fragile, with cracks appearing after a slight pinch.
The Night Mouse said softly, "Be careful. These are the few books I’ve found in Lorric City after many years. They could be considered the only books left by this ruined civilization."
Lorric City is the name of the city at the foot of Black Soul Mountain. The city on the mountainside is called Fran Fortress, and the city at the peak is the Ancient Dragon’s Peak.
According to the explanation from the Night Mouse, these cities were not originally built in Black Soul Mountain but were relocated here before the apocalypse.
As for why the Night Mouse knows this history, even he has forgotten the reason.
Fang Zhou could only put the books back and continue discussing the history of this world with the Night Mouse.
"If you want to read a book, read this one."
The Night Mouse pulled out a book from below the bookshelf and handed it to Fang Zhou, "I wrote this when I had nothing else to do. I initially thought to record things down because I was afraid of forgetting everything. There are many things recorded in it that I’ve already forgotten. You’d be better off reading this than asking me."
Fang Zhou took the book and began reading. He found that it was written in two languages: one from this world and another from the outside world.
