Legendary Librarian System-Chapter 122: A Demon’s Responsibility

"Slaves of the false sun? Barbarian dogs of the nether sun? Where did that come from?" Liu Wei chuckled.

He felt silly from what they called to each other.

Meng Ai could not help but giggle, as well.

She said, "I’m not sure, really, but that’s what I heard the most. I thought it’s just silly, but when I heard something from you earlier..."

Meng Ai went silent and her eyes sparkled.

Liu Wei instantly knew what she meant.

He sighed. "Humans hunt beasts, beasts hunt humans. Even if humans and beasts go along with each other, they can’t have an equal position. Human slaves beasts and so the other way around. Humans with pride won’t hesitate to mistreat beasts as their slaves and abandon them without hesitation if it’s for the sake of rewards. It’s the same for beasts, predatorial beasts who appear to be kind to humans will set aside their pride if it’s for the sake of rewards."

Meng Ai was a bit confused about what Liu Wei was trying to say. In the end, she was able to connect the dots and her eyes widened.

She said, "In other words, the golden crow and the fangwolf are using their followers for their sake because they are benefitting something?"

Liu Wei nodded. "In the case of the golden crow, that is true. In the history of the royal family, they hid the part where the golden crow is actually forcing them to be its slaves. Their predecessors have long died for the sake of the golden crow’s... recovery."

Meng Ai was shocked.

She said, "For the sake of its recovery... In other words, for millennia, the royal family has hidden the fact that they are actually slaves for a beast who wants to recover? Why did the beast want to hide, though? And why does it seem in history, the golden crow has long returned to the Immortal World?"

Liu Wei slowly understood now. The citizens were told that the golden crow had long returned to the Immortal World, while the Alchemy Association was hiding the fact that it was still alive and well, living below the capital city.

Perhaps, only the Master Alchemist knows about it, or some of the Senior Alchemists. Nevertheless, the fact that the golden crow was hiding its presence even from its citizens really showed that it was afraid to be discovered.

By the spirit of the Mortal Domain.

Liu Wei was still unable to understand how the spirit of the Mortal Domain failed to detect the presence of the golden crow.

Although the golden crow disguised itself as a spirit beast, allowing the spirit of the Mortal Domain to appear, the spirit of the Mortal Domain should have known it was once an immortal beast.

Liu Wei sighed.

As much as I wanted to avoid getting involved with it, it is already written that I am fated to face it.

Liu Wei said to Meng Ai, "Now that you possess this knowledge, Meng Ai, you can’t escape from this. You have to grow stronger if you want to survive. The Crown Prince and his family are already trying to rebel against it."

Meng Ai drew a sharp breath.

She exclaimed, "How can we deal with it?! We’re just mortals!"

Liu Wei chuckled and replied, "I don’t know. But we don’t have a choice."

Meng Ai felt a headache coming and sighed.

She was quiet for a while before saying, "If that is the case, it’s not the golden crow that we might have to deal with, there’s also the fangwolf, too."

Liu Wei was stunned.

He asked, "Why do you think so?"

Meng Ai said, "Because they have a prophecy that is known to everyone. The Fang Emperor will return. The Fangwolf Demon Emperor will reincarnate through the tribe’s strongest warrior. That’s why they are getting fiercer everyday in the frontline. Every barbarian is getting desperate to become the strongest!"

After hearing about the situation in the frontline, Liu Wei was worried about Zhao Heng’s condition.

I hope he’s doing well.

Of course, what he was worried the most was they were not only dealing with one immortal beast, but two.

He could not help but sigh.

He gazed upward and stared at the constellations above and said, "I thought I’m getting stronger faster, but I guess I have to keep up with the things going around us. If not, many will die."

Liu Wei was stunned by what he said.

In fact, he did not care about everyone in the first place. He accepted the fact that he might have to fight against the golden crow simply because it was under the library all along.

However, now that the library had created its own dimension, they would have been invulnerable once the golden crow wreaked havoc.

Liu Wei reflected and finally realized why he said it.

Even If I’m safe, Elder Mo Fu, Cai Hui, Princess Jin Xuelin... and others will be affected heavily.

Even if I convince them to remain and hide here, they have families and they won’t be able to enter the library unless they are fated to do so.

Liu Wei rubbed his glabella and finally concluded he had long accepted the responsibility of being one of the individuals to deal with the golden crow.

He could not imagine his precious customers dying... he was already tired of being alone.

He had been elated with their presence, especially the fact that he wanted to see them grow, learning from the library he took care of.

Meng Ai gazed at him and said, "You really are kind, Big Brother Liu Wei! Don’t worry, I will help you. I will get stronger, too! Can I remain here and learn? I will leave from time to time to get updated about the Silent Weave from Big Sister Yu Shuang."

Liu Wei was stunned.

He smiled and nodded.

"Of course, you can also freely train here, too. I won’t restrict you which rooms you want to get access to."

"Rooms?"

Liu Wei pointed at the portal to the Training Domain.

Meng Ai turned around and was stunned.
