"How many books are in this place exactly?" Zaratul looked at the neatly arranged books. In front of him, there was an endless collection of books. As if this was a knowledge that had been accumulated over countless times.

[All the books in this area are a collection of shadow and blood magic. There are also various research journals, basic knowledge, magic techniques, supporting manuals, and much more.]

"Were all these written by the Blood Shadows?" Zaratul couldn't help but ask. In the dimension he lived in, even though the Blood Shadow was only an average of the species there, they were a race that was highly skilled in shadow and blood magic. Even the masters he served previously were talented Blood Shadows who possessed special abilities.

[Please do not judge that such a lowly race can lay down or create magic techniques for the magic tower of Babel. All the knowledge here is the form and research they carried out to present to the Tower. Only members of the tower can place the results of their research or the knowledge they have in the library of the magic tower of Babel.]

Zaratul did not answer and started reading various collections of books here. He wasn't like Leon who could directly absorb the knowledge in the book. So he had to read it and understand it himself.

Fifteen minutes passed so quickly and the book disappeared from Zaratul's hands.

[The time you have is up. You will be moved next to the tower leader.]

"Did you find anything interesting?" Leon asked as he put down the book he was reading. He looked towards the place where Zaratul appeared.

"Very much. It's too much for me to digest even if I spend my whole life, Master."

Leon just gave a knowing smile. "There's still plenty of time if you want to come back here. Besides, this is just the beginning."

"That's right… it's still just the beginning."

Zaratul who was serving him somehow felt a little strange feeling.

"Oh before we leave here, I want to give this to you." Leon pushed a book that was at his side towards Zaratul.

It was a book that gave me an unpleasant feeling. The talent he had cultivated within himself after thousands of reincarnations reminded him that what was in the book was something he should not touch.

That was the ultimate knowledge suggested by the system.

Zaratul looked at the book handed to him. "Blank Theory of Self."

Why was he able to read it, the system stated that every member of the magic tower of Babel would be given knowledge of the Unification Language. And all the books here are written in Unification Language.

"Master, I don't deserve something like this." Zaratul gently refused even though the book looked very tempting.

"Indeed, you don't deserve something like this, don't you think?"

The book answered immediately. "Tower master is right. With the qualities you have now, there is no way you can bear the knowledge I have."

"But, not being able to use it now doesn't mean not being able to use it in the future. What I am showing you is simply the best possible path."

"If you live by then, I will keep this for you." Leon let the book return to its place on the fourth floor.

"But you can have this." Leon handed Zaratul 2 other books. The book was different from before and did not give off an impressive aura. "Just think of it as payment for the Codex you gave me."

The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.

Zaratul held the two books and glanced at them. "Thank you, master."

"Keep the book and study it. I give you permission to take the book out into the world, but don't lose it." Leon said in a serious tone as he snapped his fingers.

They immediately returned to the Midnight Inn. Without saying anything else, Zaratul immediately returned to Leon's shadow.

He looked at the wall clock which showed the time and how long he had been asleep. Even though it seemed short, Leon had been asleep for more than 1 week.

"Longer than I thought."

"Everything will become more interesting. With this, I don't have to worry about the safety issues I have when I'm outside." Leon took his Coin card and left Midnight Inn via Pocket Watch.

This is a special right held by people staying in rooms provided by Midnight Inn. Because this place only opens at midnight, you can only access this place using a pocket watch when it is outside opening hours.

Leon returned to his original place. His room is in the Betlam family mansion. The chaos could be seen from the direction of the Mansion which was still being repaired.

"It seems he managed to survive." Leon smiled as he looked at this intact mansion. Before he started the summoning, Leon knew that performing a Cross Dimension summoning would cause huge ripples. Although he restricted it as much as possible, the best result he could achieve was to obscure a little of the aura that was released and spread it throughout Maple City.

But it was just a half-baked plan that couldn't solve the main problem. 'I already knew that there would be people moving to the point where they would make a direct attack. Even if I use the Betlam surname to prevent a few of the people who might come, it doesn't prevent all of them.'

And… this is what happened. Betlam's family is under attack and Balak will definitely become wary of him.

"And for the record, I have nothing to do with this matter," Leon said while looking outside.

Balak, who had just arrived after sensing Leon's appearance, immediately came up a step. He was currently hiding himself with the magic he possessed. Even after he accomplished many things and developed his milk magic thanks to Leon's knowledge, he was quite surprised.

"How can you prove that you were not involved? Soon after you disappeared, someone attacked this place and penetrated into the mansion."

"One of them seemed to be looking for you. I even lost someone from the Betlam family because of that person."

Oh, Leon immediately raised his eyebrows. He turned towards Balak and mobilized the mana within him. A series of words appeared in an instant in the Unification language and disappeared after a while.

Tier 1 magic: Radar.

A wave of magic swept across the Betlam family mansion and transmitted data to Leon. Everyone here was immediately detected by him. There is indeed one missing.

It was Balak's slave that he saw in his office.

"So? I hear your point, but I don't see the problem in it." Leon snorted and ignored Balak's surprised gaze.

"According to the contract, anything involving conflict over your family has nothing to do with me. Even if they target me, you guys have to deal with the problem for me. Isn't that the contract we both agreed to, Balak?"

Balak clicked his tongue and refrained from cursing the person in front of him. It was a contract he had broken, and he had no obligation to do so.

"Right… There is a contract between the two of us."

"It's good if you remember it. As someone from the prominent Betlam family, isn't it your duty to uphold your integrity?"

"Isn't that right, Balak?" Leon said while showing a small smile.

Balak also replied with a smile on his face. It was a slightly exaggerated smile. "You are right, Mr. Constantine."

Balak didn't explain any further and left Leon's room. Only Bella was left outside. He stared inside in fear.

"Is there anything you want?"

"N-no, Mr. Constantine."

"Then go." Leon threw Bella out of there. He was left alone while looking at the results he caused.

"It's time for me to look for people who can work for me."

***

Inside Balak's office, a man in casual clothes sat on one of the sofas while eating an apple. Balak who saw him immediately sat down and talked to the man.

"How? Did you manage to get any information about that man?"

"There isn't any. But there are suspicions that he is the mastermind behind this problem. Do you know the big trouble that guy is causing right now? You are very lucky that there is only one unknown organization making a move. Vienna Hall even stepped in to suppress various organizations in various places and prevent them from taking action."

"Wade, what actually happened? I kind of knew the reason for their attack after you told me. The problem is, why did Rosemary's family also suddenly appear."

Wade answered while biting the apple in his mouth. "You don't need to know about that right now. What you need to worry about is only the problems that will come to the Betlam family. "Right now you are the target of various organizations in this world."

Balak who heard this could only hold back his anger. The eyes he had slowly became darker and darker.

"Wade, I want to ask you for a favor."
