Library

After having eliminated the two Elders from the council, little Mara walked for about an hour... Stopped in front of a rather strange building, which left her speechless.

"No one told me that the Library would be a whole building, I thought it would be a single room... Besides, if it's such a tall building, why couldn't I see it from far away? Why do I have to walk for so long? Can the library be closer to the Mansion?"

Is not like she wants to complain, but she feels strange about this 'Library', is like this building is alive, not sure if she is correct, didn't dwell into it.

The facade of the building is made of strange materials, cast iron and wrought iron frames; mixed with steel, making the building look structurally much stronger than any mansion around the Clan's territory.

But not only the materials from which it is made, but the shape of the structure, is like a tall fat tower, 50 meters high, extending 10 meters horizontally. Every ten meters have different designs, implying that there are five floors inside the tower.

In order to see the top of the tower, the little girl must lie down on the ground to do so, but the little lazy girl did not want to appreciate the design of the tower.

Touching the door, it opened automatically.

"Can anyone come in here? There's no one guarding the entrance, and I just need to tap a finger on the door, and it opens?"

Little Mara was stunned by what's going on, but with what Heinrich told her, she shut her mouth.

"You think it's that simple? Only the Clan Leader can open the door like that, it also develops consciousness, recognizing you and letting you in, plus it's not the only form of security there is..."

Before Heinrich finished speaking, a woman appeared out of nowhere, scared out the hell out of little Mara. If it wasn't for the little girl's swift response, she would have jumped to kill the attacker.

Flabbergasted, little Mara looked at the woman with wary and strange eyes.

A woman in her seventies was smiling, but that kind of Cheshire smile that can give anyone goosebumps.

"Little Clan Leader Mara, whose real name must be hidden, welcome to the Ancient Library. My name is Bertha, the librarian, I have been guarding this place for more than a millennium, so I am pleased to see someone who dares to enter this place.

There are many restrictions inside, so please try not to step on them, because I can't answer what can happen, I still remember when one of the leaders stepped on one of the restrictions, there ended the legacy of that time, because of that, there was a war between Elders of the council..." sighing Bertha sounded like a musical speaker, but not a pleasant one.

"You know, Clan Leader, there is a lot of history lost along the millennia, because of that many books are in disuse, but that's because nobody has been able to release the restrictions, the legend says that the library itself is a weapon, but nobody knows what kind of weapon?

Will it be a weapon of knowledge? Can the enemies die from words?

Will it be able to throw books?

Or will it become as small as the palm of the hand and can crush to death?

Nobody knows, but one thing is for sure, Clan Leader, you are the only one who can do it, the first in history to take the position of Clan Leader at such a young age of seven years, what else can you expect, you have many years to find out what is the secret behind the library".

Bertha went on and on with her... Blah blah blah blah blah... Mysteries... Blah blah blah...

As she went on talking, a passion red fan of strange material inadvertently appeared in her hand, with which she was giving herself air.

Little Mara was drawn to the fan, so much so that she was in a daze, but the deep passion of red mesmerized her.

The Guardian frowned at the sudden situation that was developing. And he felt that the spirit of the little Master was being disrupted and narrowed his eyes and humped, releasing some of his aura through Mara's little body.

And a voice echoed inside the library.

"PREPOSTEROUS!"

"How dare you attack the Clan Leader with a charming spell!"

The Guardian's voice is deep and heavy, making Bertha shiver.

Heinrich, who had not moved until now, enveloped little Mara's body with his flame. Causing the little girl to break free from the spell that was thrown at her without any awareness.

Feeling dizzy for a couple of seconds, little Mara found out what happened, and her lazy and wary face changed, and she became cold, her golden eyes shone brightly. And the Guardian's aura increased.

Being the Guardian's aura, it is possible that her body could support it because of the connection of both, and in doing so they saw how the librarian Bertha knelt in front of the little girl, and vomited blood in front of her.

But the blood did not reach the little girl's shoes, an external force around her appeared in place of Heinrich's flame, protecting her from the dirty blood/

Little Mara looked at Bertha with disgust and coldness, taking the fan from her hands easily, she touched Bertha's chin with it.

"What you just did is punishable by instant death, how do you think I should deal with you?"

Bertha, who has been the librarian for generations, felt fear for the first time, not fear of death, but fear of the little girl in front of her.

'NO! She is not just any little girl!' Screamed Bertha in her heart.

"I'm not a little girl, Bertha, I'm the Clan Leader, not because of my age and my sweet smiling little face am I going to let others disrespect me..."

With that, little Mara moved the fan and was about to cut her neck when Elder Taros arrived in front of her half kneeling with his head bowed.

"Little Clan Leader, I apologize for Bertha's disrespect, she and I have served as guards for both places, there are more of us inside and outside the Clan territory, it's just that she is a little anxious to test her powers and to know if we will leave these posts to fight by her side in the future..."

Elder Taros knows he must tell the truth, even if she shouldn't know what the future holds for her, to save the reckless Bertha, she needs to know that they can be of use to her in the future.

Little Mara is no fool, she knows what Elder Taros is implying, and her good impression of the Elder has not lowered one bit.

"I can forgive her, but there must be punishment, otherwise, everyone will want to test my skills, and it's very tiring to do it one by one..."

Knowing what she means, Elder Taros and Bertha couldn't help but shudder.

'Destroy the egg to warn the chicken.' It was what came to both of their minds.

Not the correct way to say it, but they felt it that way.

The Guardian and Heinrich retracted their aura and power but were ready to act at any time, and little Mara looked at the fan with curiosity and genuine interest.

Bertha saw her expression, and her heart sank.
