I´m king. I consider that I´m wise king at least I hope to be. Everyday has been busy for long time. Naturally I have spent all my free time with my family. Unfortunately I don´t have any friend. I used to have a lots of friends but now everything is about work. It is difficult to consider them as friends. Naturally I haven´t lost good will for them.
I went to royal storage room with my work equipment. Unlike other places. This is only place where only king can enter. For that reason I´m supposed to clean here by myself. As I entered I saw sight which I haven´t seen ever before.
I have magical talent of royal appraisal. It is different from normal appraisal by it can change others stats. Thanks to it I knew this place was library and explanation what it is. I also saw this place´s owner. Gargoyle which name is Gargoile. Unfortunately I couldn´t see anything else. This still told me he has a name. I haven´t heard any Gargoyle how had a name. I didn´t think it was possible.
He even looks different from common gargoyle. He is 5 meters tall. It is giantic statue. Well that part isn´t so strange. Strangest thing is he looks like human being. Most gargoyles looks like lizards or at least are close to it. Some have claimed they were ones lizardmen how roomed swamps.
"Welcome to the library." (Gargoile)
"Thank you for having me visit your library." (King)
"You seem to have visited libraries before." (Gargoile)
"No. That isn´t the case." (King)
"What do you mean?" (Gargoile)
"There is no such things as libraries in my country or other as I am aware of." (King)

"There has been guest how said she knew about libraries and you said yourself that this was a library." (Gargoile)
"I have skill which tells me about what is around me accurately. Thanks to it. I knew this was a library and I knew what it is. As for you friend. I have no idea how she knew about it for sure. She could have been someone with similar skill." (King)
"I see." (Gargoile)
"Wait a minute. There has been others how have been here before." (King)
"Yes. Everyone is welcome to stay here as long as they follow library´s rulers. By the way. Can your skill tell what are this places rulers?" (Gargoile)
"Yes. It can. It even tells me how I´m punished if I don´t follow them." (King)
"It is that accurate. Seems way more useful than my skill." (Gargoile)
"Don´t say that. I can´t see your skills which tells me they are stronger than mine. Although I would advice you to write them next to you so they can read them immediately after coming here." (King)
"Thank you for your encouragement and I sure will do as you advised." (Gargoile)
"I want to ask some questions about this place." (King)
"Sure. What do you want to know?" (Gargoile)
"This place is dangerous. How are you keeping this knowledge hidden from those how would misuse them?" (King)
"Nothing." (Gargoile)
"What?! You can´t be serious!" (King)
"No yelling. You should know that." (Gargoile)
He put his large finger between his lips. I haven´t seen such gesture before. Most likely it tells me to stay quiet. What is he thinking? This place is far too dangerous.
"That can´t possibly work." (King)
"Why not? There is no use of knowledge which isn´t shared. Naturally I don´t have any intentions to give harmful knowledge those how aren´t worth it. Unfortunately it is difficult to know how are worthy. For that reason I have methods avoid those dangerous people. Firstly my appearance and secondly location. There is high chance that this is our last time together." (Gargoile)
Indeed. Those after harmful knowledge would run away because they looked at him. Those how aren´t deceaved by his appearance are more likely kind and wise.
I couldn´t stay longer since my family is waiting for me. So I gave my goodbyes.
Does he understand how strange this place is? My skill showed that all books are readable to all races. Races can´t teach knowwledge outside their race. Do you understand how dangerous would it be if races like goblins learn how to reinforce their kinds fighting potential? You are capable to do just that. Just how are you?
