《The Lost Characters [Vanilla Dark Fantasy]》089-The big secret.
Advertisement
Adam explained about the subject with pleasure, he also hoped to know something more about how the shelves worked, that was information that no book says. After listening carefully to the information.
The eyeless old man smiled because the boy was talking about something that mattered to him for free, and said:
—A draw, use, work, secret, karma, and gratitude. I don't think it's enough, there has to be a trick you don't understand, Adam.
Adam was able to understand where the secret of these bookshelves lay, the more complicated a bookcase made it the better the reward offered could be. He had gotten some clues about this valuable information the day he got the mask. But the old man with no eyes had just told him directly, 5 fundamental factors to consider when dealing with a bookcase.
—I can think of one more trick—Adam replied cunningly, opening his eyes again and looking at the eyeless old man.
—Which one?—asked the old man, his eyes racing.
—Is the book I got today magical or cursed?—Adam asked with a smile and closing his eyes again. —That's a good deal. I'm more than sure I wasn't wrong. Remember that I am a student at that school and the one who bought Cesar the pass to infinity. Who else besides me would understand the Baron's secret?
The eyeless old man looked at him for a few minutes. But deep down, he knew that this information was worth half the books on his shelves to him.
They were neither more nor less than the conditions to get someone to achieve such madness, how to move up with a pass. If he could manage to replicate the same thing, he would be a divine entity for these librarians.
Possibly, that was the real goal of the baron in the long term and his riskiest bet, transmitting the information was complicated with secrecy, but in a few hundred millennia the myths of the possibility of ascending using the schools of the baron would begin to appear.

To understand this for the old man without eyes: it was to understand the baron, to understand the baron: it was a possibility to obtain a very high status in this library and for the old man without eyes this is opening his mind: it was possible to transform into a bookshelf that defies infinity and into a god for librarians.
The baron had achieved it, but millennia were missing, for the myths to run through the aisles of these shelves. Even more so now could prevent him from achieving it and try to replicate his method.
The eyeless old man just looked at him for a long time. He wanted the boy to think that he was scamming him and not the other way around. Finally, in a somewhat harsh voice, the eyeless old man answered Adam's question:
—It's magical but not very useful.
—Little is better than nothing—Adam replied with great joy, it seemed that talking so much with his godfather had been worth something, and today he had obtained very expensive information —A possible condition is languages. The more languages learned, the better rewards, the school only teaches languages and all the teachers learn languages like crazy.
