—Yes, yes, —Adam answered a little nervously; luckily his friend had given him a good excuse.
—Do you still have time?—Franco asked with some emotion—I found a bookstore that needed my help. I'm in the middle of one of his tasks: Do you want to help me accomplish them?
—Sure— Adam answered with great curiosity about the task— But let me ask my godfather first: What is the task?
—I have to put this book on a shelf—Franco replied, waving a black book everywhere.
The book seemed quite normal, it was just an ordinary black cover book. On the back of it was the inscription: 'One hour of adventures'. Adam, with much anticipation, asked his godfather if he should help or not and his godfather replied: 'That's what we've been waiting for… Baron Wards are perfect carriers because the other Librarians will just ignore you. Go and profit. If the earnings are very good, tell me as soon as you get them, and I'll tell you a secret to double them'
Adam was excited, finally waiting every day for so long was worth it and with joy he shouted to his friend:
—Let's go on an adventure!—
—Let's go!—Franco yelled, shaking the book happily.—The bookshelf is on this floor, in one of the internal hexagons of the main ones. Follow me, lead the way!
Adam nodded and followed his friend's back, on the way they passed many librarians who were trying to discover the new secrets of the shelves or testing their rules. Most of them proceeded with great caution, so they took a long time to make their decisions, so the two children could not see the final results, luckily or unfortunately.
—It's quite close, the shelves are in hexagon 2— Franco added happily, as they headed for the exit of hexagon 3 and the entrance of hexagon 2.

—Do bookshelves have complicated rules?—Adam asked on the way.
The shelves were inside the main hexagon, so you had to go through a few corridors, and they were somewhat hidden.
—I don't know, we just have to deliver the book—Franco answered—Just in case, let's not try to read his books, it could be dangerous.
—Yes, I think it's a better idea— Adam answered, he didn't want to get into trouble, he still remembered what happened with the old lady's bookshelf, if it wasn't because it was useful for that old man in rags they could have turned it into a book.
The two boys entered the interior of hexagon 2, when they were about to enter the internal corridors, two librarians with somewhat torn black robes approached them.
Adam was scared, he remembered what his godfather told him about him, but he was still scared.
—What are two children doing here?— Asked one of the men: he had a big beard and a greedy look on his face—How about you give us that black book, boy?
—Yes, it would be better if you pay attention—Answered the other man approaching the boys—These corridors are very lonely. If they disappear around here, they'll just blame the bookshelves!
Adam was about to start crying, according to his godfather only the librarians would ignore them, he never imagined that this could happen to him, he blindly trusted his godfather.
But when they were only a step away from the boys, a head from the shelf next to the boys came out and yelled in a weird pirate accent:
—Touch the pigeon, and I'll kill you, lizard!
Adam looked up at the head that was saving them and thanked him in his heart. The head was made of black wood, it had an eye patch and a captain's hat.
The two men heard the rules and ran away, it seemed that the black book was not worth that much.
—Thank you!—The two boys shouted in unison as they saw the men retreating towards hexagon 3.
