They sat outside the Long Hall. Nebusta was still sad, and Alvin was thinking about 'how to get back to earth.'

Jakas brought some food in his hands and gave it to both of them. While eating Alvin asked, " How much time will it take to repair my machine."

Jakas replied "I don't know about that, Pakaka people are good with technology, so maybe within a week they will repair your machine.

" So we are stuck here for a week," Nebusta asked surprisedly.

Jakas replied " You are not stuck here, you can enjoy the beautiful capital city for a week and you can purchase products from here and sell them for a higher price in Captico."

"That's true" Nebusta replied.

After a short walk, Jakas stopped in front of a tall building. Some parts of the building have been destroyed and it was the only old building in the area.

Jakas said 'This building used to be the long hall.'

Nebusta asked looking at the building ' what happened to this place?

Jakas said 'this hall was destroyed by the invaders, they burned this building, which killed Queen's three kids.  Which made her furious and that was the beginning of Red Mad Queen and the great war.

Alvin asked ' can you say about the great war, I want to know more about it. Everyone is saying the name but no one knows more about it.'

Jakas replied ' Actually I am also not so good with history. But I can help you with a short story, It happened nearly 850 years back I don't know how many years on your planet.'

Alvin asked 'How many days are there in a year?'

Jakas replied '820 days.'

Alvin took a piece of paper from his new bag which he bought from the nearby market and started calculating 'so two days on your planet is a day on our planet. So it will be nearly 955 years on our planet.' Alvin said with pride on his face.

Jakas replied 'Ok, so at that time the traders used to come here from different universes and conducted trade, a day some traders saw the queen's red magma and were attracted to it, so they bring an army from their planet and started the war and many planets took this opportunity and came with armies and attacked as. They destroyed some planets but somehow we managed to win the war and close the portal, that's it.'

Alvin asked 'Where can I get a detailed version of what you said?'

Jakas replied 'There are some books in the library about the great war, if you want we can go there?'

Alvin said 'yes, please. I would love to see the library, but I don't know to read your language.' pointing towards the thing in his ear he continued 'will this ikkimi helps me to read too?'

With a laugh, Jakas said 'No, Ikkimi is only for hearing, there will be ikkili, it is a device which acts the same as ikkimi. it will study your language first then it will convert the book to your language and it will read in your language.'

Alvin said 'ha so it's a language-converted audiobook.'

Jakas said 'I don't know what you said, but it will help you to understand the full details.

Nebusta interferes with them 'wait, what will I do at that time? I don't want to sit and listen to the old war story.'

Jakas replied 'There is a big market near the library, if you like to shop you can go there.

Nebusta "That's good. I would love to shop.'

They reached the library within no time.

The library was in an old building and the building is filled with books.

Nebusta 'Wow! there are so many books.'

Jakas 'That's why we call this place a library'

Alvin asked 'So where will we find the book about the great war?'

Jakas walked to a small computer screen-type thing and do something on the screen. It was like he was using a smart tv.

'What is this?' Alvin asked in excitement.

'Oh, this is a finder machine, it will help to find the book.' Jakas replied

'So did this machine helps to find only books or other things also?' Alvin asked in curiosity.

'This is library property so it will only find the book available in the library. If you go to a cloth store and use a finder there it will only find dresses.' Jakas replied.

Suddenly something popped up on the screen and Jakas read it.

' There are twenty-seven books available about the Great war, and the most popular book is "The Queen's red tomb: The History of Great war" written by well-known Akkarian writer Makatin'.

Jabusta said ' Oh! I know this writer, I have read many of his works. They are great.'

Alvin said 'So, Why are we waiting? let's take this book and read it.'

Jakas said  ' Yes, it shows that the book is on section B, shelf number 123.'

They reached section B and searched for the shelf, Suddenly a white old guy came in front of Alvin and said 'SO the myth is correct, ha ha ha THE MYTH IS CORRECT, HE IS HERE. HAHAHA' and ran away.

Alvin was stunned and asked to Jakas ' What was that about? who was that?'

Jakas 'I don't know who he was or what he said, I think he is mad or something like that.'

The old man stopped in front of the door and turned back and looked at Alvin one more time and laughed.

Jabusta said ' I got it.'

Alvin asked  ' what? What did you find?'

Jabusta said ' I got the book, "The queen's red tomb."

'oh!' said Alvin turning again at the old man, but he was not there.

Jabusta added 'Hello, Are you here?'

Alvin replied ' Yes, Yes please read the book for me.'

They sat in a free room, Jakas pushed a button, and a big screen projected in the room.

Jakas give a remote to Alvin and Jabusta and said to connect it with their ikkmi, They did as he says.

After sometimes the machine said, " The pairing was successful and ready to start reading."

Alvin asked ' What was that?'

Jakas replied ' It was converting the book into your language, Now put the glass so the book will display in your language and you can see it on the wall.'

Alvin replied ' oh! that was cool.'

Jakas asked ' SO, ARE YOU READY FOR THE GREAT WAR?'
