Chapter 43 Knowledge is Power Again?

Elder John had been rushing from the middle district to the inner district and immediately reported what he saw to the clan leader. Looking at the horrid appearance of his son and grandson, he could not help but feel pain and anguish for his loss. The others just watched from the sidelines and did not feel sympathy for the duo. Killboy, on the other hand, was gritting his teeth, he wanted to investigate immediately but was stopped again by his father.

Zander tried to wake Joey up but failed which made him furrow his brows.

"The one who made them unconscious made some sort of a seal on their consciousness and would eventually wake up in due time. Forcefully waking them up would end up destroying their consciousness. It is for the best if we wait for the meantime. Experts that could do this should be at least at the Dao Formation Realm."

Everyone sucked in cold air when they heard Zander's assessment.

"Clan Leader, was it them?" The Grand Elder asked.

"I doubt that but there is a high chance that this was an attack by a highly skilled assassin, what confuses me is that why are the wounds like this?"

Zander was wracking his brain as to why would the perpetrator would do this kind of killing. Was he some sort of a masochist? Or did the father and son offended another behemoth?

"Let's just wait and see after Joey wakes up. Father's breakthrough is our priority for us to maintain our standing inside the city. Seal the news as much as possible, our next move would be decided by father,"

Everyone agreed and nodded in response, Elder John was dismissed and went back to his assigned duty.

Eznho woke up with great enthusiasm and was ready to go to the public library to obtain more information. He did not have anyone to teach him so he had to rely on himself to learn the things he needed to know. He did not want to burden Budoy so he decided to do the task himself.

The library was a massive building that had three floors which was located in the inner part of the middle district. Eznho reached the place after walking for two hours and people were going in and out of the building, some were scholars while others looked like they came from a noble background.

He entered without delay and his eyes widened with what he saw inside. Five-meter tall bookshelves were aligned inside a wide hall filled with countless books. Tables and chairs were arranged at the side for the reader to use. He took a deep breath and his nose was assaulted by the smell of wood and books. People were inside doing different things, some were reading while others were discussing things about the book they were reading.

He went to the reception to inquire, the receptionist was an old lady with gray hair. Her face was wrinkled and had a grumpy look.

"What do you want?" She asked in a hoarse voice.

"Uhmm, I would like to read books," Eznho nervously asked.

"Are you a member?" The old lady asked while looking Eznho up and down.

"No ma'am, this is my first time here," He replied honestly.

"You can pay an entrance fee and you could use the library until closing or you could be a member and can come here everytime you want without paying an entrance fee." She spoke blandly as if she had been saying this a thousand times.
