My Magical Card Tavern

Silver Star's voice rang out again, filled with helplessness.

"The reason is simple, little Ginnell. I had already talked to little Luke before we went to the pub."

"But he wasn't interested in the changes in the dark forest, and he didn't want to care, since he couldn't be here to educate future generations while carrying weapons."

"So he dumped all the authority and tasks on me and didn't care about anything himself, just like the kind of hands-off manager you mentioned."

Ginnell looked up at the sky.

Hmm, it's all dark. I forgot I'm in an underground city.

He now understood why the old man was angry.

In the old safe zone, the old man was the security guard who could sit and play on his phone all day, and when someone came, he would just raise his eyelids and ask him to register.

If a visitor doesn't want to follow the rules, they can simply put an X on the record sheet, and then they don't need to worry about what happens next.

As a result, Luke's power has added another rule to the safe zone, making the duties of the security guards more complicated.

Silver Star could no longer sit and play on his phone; he had to stand up to take care of the changes in the entire safe zone and also had to keep an eye on a bunch of progress bars with varying progress and different completion speeds.

The guy who gave him extra work clearly had no intention of helping Silver Star relieve some of his workload.

It's like someone dumping a bunch of work tasks on you that aren't yours, and then saying at the end, "Work hard, young people should get more experience."

If this were someone who had no support to earn money to support their family, they might grit their teeth and accept it, treating it as a career change to a nuclear-powered ox or horse.

The problem is that this security guard is a dead star, not some beast of burden that can be easily manipulated.

So Luke got beaten up.

Ginnell could only comfort Silver Star, saying that once the safe zone expands, there might be other rules or something like the Orc Altar.

Luke just popped out on his own.

The rules for the safe zone will definitely be that you fight against Heroic Spirits, and the additional time you can stay in the safe zone will be determined by how long you last.

When that time comes, Silver Star will be much more relaxed, and even Luke will think that Silver Star's approach is too conservative, and decide to take on the responsibility of managing the safe zone on his own.

Silver Star was helpless.

"Little Gianna, don't give me empty promises."

"I've seen far too many similar things in my long life."

"From parents promising their children candy to demons and evil gods using deception to promise rewards of lifespan and power, this trick doesn't work on me."

In any case, Silver Star is definitely going to be busy right now.

Before long, the commotion caused by the skeletons will attract the attention of Silver Star City.

It's possible that not only the Adventurers' Guild, but other organizations will also send investigation teams to find out the situation; the changes in the safe zone certainly can't be hidden.

Ginnell had anticipated a huge wave of work assignments heading toward Silver Star, but he had to work very hard to suppress the smile on his face in case the old man took notice.

For the old man, this was a bad thing, after all, he was forced to choose a partner who wasn't quite normal.

But for Gianna herself, it was like a completely new wave of customers, not drawn by any GG.

Even if only a portion is taken, it can still spread like wildfire once it returns to Silver Star City.

The number of customers in the tavern will continue to increase, leading to a rise in both the tavern's revenue and the number of new cards in the card box.

Not bad, not bad. Who says that changing the safe zone rules isn't a good thing?

I think this is clearly a great thing!

After offering a comforting remark to Silver Star, Genelec began sweeping through the distribution area of ​​the specialty products Silver Star had entrusted to him, like the wind.

I still need to go out today.

However, this time they weren't going to the Mage's Guild in Silver Star City, but rather to the Northern United Nations Library in Silver Star City, as Ginnell needed some of the knowledge contained there.

As for whether he would run into Morin and Graeme, Ginnell wasn't particularly concerned.

The former is likely to receive intelligence from within the guild, while Graeme will probably take on the Adventurers' Guild's dungeon investigation mission.

Today I'm just going to the library after selling materials. I've already looked at the map to see the approximate location, so there's no need to call on Morin, a local from Silver Star City, to come along as a guide.

The Northern United Nations Library is a standard feature of towns and cities within the system of a large nation.

Those who work there are all officially employed, and similar places exist even in some remote towns.

However, those are generally called libraries, and neither their size nor the variety and quantity of their books can compare with those in big cities.

The National Library is right next to St. Light Street.

However, the library's interior wasn't covered in ivy, nor did it have any extravagant sculptures or decorations; it was just like an ordinary big house.

Apart from an open book carved above the entrance, with a silver gem on top of it, the National Library of Silver Star City has nothing else special about it.

In terms of style and expressiveness, it may not be as impactful as the Adventurers' Guild of Silver Star City.

The National Library welcomes anyone to come and read; this is a rule of the Northern Union.

However, learning new knowledge is a luxury for many people, as it involves a lot of time and other costs.

Compared to the vast size of the National Library, there seem to be relatively few people quietly reading at the tables as you walk among the bookshelves and areas.

Gianna walked to the location map, pointed to her own spot, and began searching for what she was looking for.

Nut growing manuals, and instructional books on beer brewing.

And of course, most importantly, there are illustrated encyclopedias of special resources filled with magic and spirituality.

The reason I came to the National Library instead of the Wizard's Guild to look through the books is because Ginell needs books about nuts and beer to fill his knowledge gaps.

Special items possessing magic and spirituality are more comprehensively described in encyclopedias by the Mage's Guild, but there's absolutely no way they'd include books that teach you how to grow nuts or brew beer.

If we don't find anything, we can just go to the Mage's Guild again.

Having found the book he wanted, Gianna casually pulled over the nearby book ladder, climbed up, and took down a special resource-type illustrated encyclopedia from the top shelf.

This design is quite reasonable. Special resources that are not easily found in daily life are placed at the top, and books that teach people how to grow and brew are readily available.

Holding several large books, Gennell sat down and began to read. The mage's mental amplification gave him the ability to remember everything he saw, and his reading speed seemed to outsiders like a bored child playing around.

The library guard looked away and nodded to the librarian next to him.

Ginnell flipped through the pages gently, without making any rustling noise, nor did she shout or leer at the women in the library.

So at least it proves that the other party wasn't there to cause trouble or attract attention.

As for why it was turned this way, that's not something he, as the guard, should be concerned with.
