Chapter 173
The Royal Library was very big .
Which was no surprise, given the long history of the Mendilibar Kingdom .
I didn’t know just how many books there were here, but it was probably in the tens of thousands .
“I’ll search for books on magic first . ”
“Then I will look for books on alchemy . ”
We split up and searched .
There were thousands of books on magic alone .
Even alchemy had thousands of books .
So of course, it was not easy to find the books we were looking for .
“Philly, have you found anything promising yet?”
“I haven’t . What about you, Mister Locke?”
“Nothing yet . ”
Then Philly muttered .
“I must say, I thought this would be easier . ”
“Yeah…”
As we said this the librarian approached us .
“Are you looking for something?”
Said a woman with chestnut-colored hair and glasses .
She was still young, so she must have been quite brilliant to be put in charge of the palace library .
“His Majesty has ordered me to help you . So please tell me if there is anything that I can do for you . ”
She said with a smile .
Well, that was convenient .
“I’m looking for books on how to make magic tools…”
“Magic tools? What kind?”
“I want to make an accessory that raises mental resistance . ”
“…I see . In that case…”
The librarian started to lead me through the library .
“Here are the books related to magic tools . ”
“Thank you . That is a great help . ”
“Oh, no . It’s just my job . ”
She smiled kindly .
Then Philly said,
“Librarian . I am searching for books on alchemy…”
“What genre of alchemy?”
“Hmm . Indeed… I would like books related to creating materials for magic tools…”
“In that case…”
The Librarian led Philly away .
“Oh, thank you!”
“It’s my job . ”
I heard them say .
And so I started looking through the books .
There were lots that were related to magic tools .

I flipped through them and tried to find one that would be useful .
After a while, Philly returned .
“Have you made any progress?”
“Hmm . I think I can make it . ”
I had done some research and reconfigured things in my mind .
And I now felt like I would be able to make the magic tool .
“That’s great to hear!”
“What about you, Philly?”
“Yes . It should be fine . I have acquired new knowledge . ”
“So do you have enough for now?”
“Yes . ”
And so we thanked the librarian and then left the library .
When we went outside, it was already evening .
Philly looked up at the sky and said,
“The sun has set already?”
“We were very focused… That’s why we didn’t notice . ”
I had thought it was still midday .
“Now that I know it’s so late, I’m starting to get hungry . ”
Just as Philly said this, her stomach started growling .
“True . I am hungry as well . ”

And so Philly and I followed a servant to the room where Refi and the others were .
We needed to pick up Grulf, Tama and Lord Gerberga .
When I entered the room, I saw Tama relaxing .
He was lying on a comfy looking bench .
Eric’s oldest daughter, Charlotte was sitting next to him and petting him gently .
And Grulf was lying on the floor .
Eric’s wife, Refi was petting him .
Eric’s youngest daughter, Marie was holding Lord Gerberga .
Lord Gerberga was very quiet and still .
“Thank you for taking care of them . ”
“Oh? Are you leaving already?”
Refi said with a look of remorse .
“Were Grulf and Tama being good boys?”
“Yes, very good . ”
“I see . That’s a relief . ”
“Aren’t you going to ask if Lord Gerberga was a good boy?”
“There is no such thing as a good boy or a bad boy when it comes to the God Fowl . ”
“That may be true . ”
Refi said with a laugh .
“So, have you found anything useful?”
“Yes, thank you . ”

“I’m glad to hear it . ”
Marie walked over to us while holding Lord Gerberga .
“Grand Duke . Hello . ”
“Your Highness . I hope you are well . ”
“Lord Gerberga played with us . ”
“I see . That’s very nice . ”
“Cluck-cluck . ”
Lord Gerberga was in a good mood .
Charlotte also walked towards us . Tama followed her .
“Philly . Tama was very good while you were away . ”
“I am sure you are exaggerating, but thank you . ”
Philly bowed politely .
And then Refi said to her,
“Philly . You should go to the room next to this one . ”
“Yes . Is there something there?”
“Your parents have been called here . I thought you might like to talk to them . ”
“Your Majesty . Thank you so much . ”
Philly’s parents, Marquis Mastafon and his wife were living in the palace .
They helped the privy council in their investigation of the vampires .
And so Philly took Tama and went to the next room .
