Chapter 427 Whereabouts
Aaron still had many questions.
He knew that perhaps he could get the answer from Weiss.
Who are the Chaos Ones, and who are the Ancient Gods? Where do they come from, and why do they exist?
How exactly did Weiss manage to harness the power of the Ancients?
And who is Weiss, and in what era did he live?
But it was all too late.
Before Weiss could finish his last sentence, Aaron felt his soul rapidly leaving his body.
He then found himself back at the bottom of the abyss.
The old, lost chapters before me have now been completely renewed.
The halo that had been hovering around it now showed cracks.
It was as if those were chains that sealed off the lost chapters.
As Aaron unearthed the contents of the lost chapters, the chains lost their original function.
He immediately realized that he had been forcibly brought back to the real world.
But didn't Weiss assert with absolute certainty that Aaron couldn't escape his light shield?
Perhaps Aaron did not escape, but Weiss's light shield could not imprison time.
Therefore, Aaron has simply returned to the current timeline.
So, Aaron really did travel through time?
Or perhaps—the lost chapters constructed for him an exquisite illusion.
Aaron had no other choice; continuing to wait and see would only be a waste of time.
He reached out and tried to touch the page.
The moment his soul touched the paper, all the chains crumbled.
The lost chapter burst forth with intense light, which immediately penetrated Aaron's soul.
He felt his soul being pulled away again; this time, he wasn't falling, but ascending.
When he came to his senses, he found himself back inside the doll's body.
"Is it over?" Aaron murmured.
He looked down and found that a page of paper had appeared out of thin air in his hand.
Clearly, this is the original form of the lost chapter, and Aaron has finally obtained it.
Aaron carefully read through the contents of the lost chapters.
There were indeed words recorded on it, but Aaron couldn't read them.
But Aaron could tell that these words and the words recorded in the Emerald Record originated from the same writing system.
Regardless, Aaron has achieved his goal for this trip.
Besides the missing chapters, Aaron also made an unexpected gain.
He came into contact with the truth of the world, and even the source of power.
Those forgotten yet extremely important histories may not have been completely erased, but rather lost in various corners of the world, like lost chapters, waiting to be rediscovered by humankind.
Aaron also realized that the level of extraordinary power currently possessed by humanity was so insignificant.
And if an enemy comparable to Wes were to exist in the future, perhaps the end of humanity is just around the corner.
If that's the case, Aaron understands why the person in the mirror said they must hurry.
Only by getting closer and closer to the truth can the secret be fully uncovered.
In this process, Aaron is also able to gradually acquire new power.
Just then, Aaron was almost finished tasting the fragrance in the perfume bottle.
Now that he has obtained the lost chapter, he may soon be able to acquire the next source of power.
Aaron believed that his strength would inevitably make rapid progress.
He felt that it was inaccurate to describe the power obtained from the Jade Record as some kind of skill.
More like, it is a kind of authority.
But where does the power within authority come from?
Perhaps it is also related to those who are disorderly.
So, does this mean that spices are also related to disorder?
Aaron will only know the answer after he obtains the remaining lost chapters.
Aaron managed to stand up.
Mission accomplished. Now all that's left is to safely bring the lost chapter back to the library.
Afterward, Aaron went to the nearest city and hired a coachman to take him out of the basin.
Two weeks later, Anquan finally left the basin.
Once you leave the difficult roads of the basin, the remaining journey, though longer, will take much less time, especially the main road built by Miss Brianna, which will be a smooth and easy path.
It wasn't until Aaron left the library and traveled far away many times that he realized that the main road was truly not simple.
Miss Brianna must have spent a lot of money on this; she's quite the rich woman.
I've heard that the Plains of Lorraine is one of the wealthiest regions in the kingdom, and it seems that's no exaggeration.
After leaving the basin, the driver refused to see them off and insisted on rushing back to the basin.
Aaron did not insist, and planned to rest for the night in a nearby town and hire other carriages the next day.
This trip took longer, but the spices inside the doll weren't particularly strained.
Well, the cost wasn't high this time, and there weren't many battles.
Although Lola posed a far greater threat to Aaron than the perfumer before, Aaron did not directly confront Lola.
Aaron checked into the hotel, then lay down on the bed, preparing to return to the library.
He awoke from his physical body and found the people in the library having dinner.
Aaron was immediately tempted and joined in.
Although the dishes were made by Cathy, the taste wouldn't be too bad once spices were added.
Aaron realized that the library's spice inventory was also a problem that had to be addressed.
The price of spices will inevitably rise steadily, and even if you have money, you may not be able to buy the varieties you want.
Hmm, I wonder when Leo will visit the library again. Perhaps I should send someone to the headquarters of the Leo Chamber of Commerce to inquire about the situation.
Peggy was the first to finish eating. After asking to leave the table, she went to take care of Dick.
Dick's recovery has accelerated significantly in the past few days, perhaps because he followed Aaron's advice.
Dick is now able to sit up in bed for a while.
Seeing this, Peggy took the forbidden book that Dick had been holding and read it aloud for him.
The young lady is different; even though there are many obscure characters in the book, she can pronounce them accurately.
Aaron felt that Peggy's literacy level even surpassed that of Cathy.
The only thing that worried Aaron was Harriet.
She seems to have become quite engrossed in medicine lately, and has even become rather neglectful of her work of taking care of the books.
Therefore, whenever Aaron wakes up, he has to check and fill in any gaps in her work.
So fascinated, could it be that Harriet is getting some kind of positive feedback from knowledge?
Or perhaps, it stems from a side effect of "Eternal Life" that Aaron was unaware of?
But learning is not a bad thing, so Aaron did not choose to interfere.
Harriet's exceptional focus has been proven.
What Aaron wanted most right now was to get some information from Dick.
Perhaps Dick has almost fully recovered.
After Dick finished eating, Aaron came to the bedside.
Dick said, "Sir..."
Aaron nodded: "Sir Dick, if it's alright, I'd like to ask you a few questions."
"Excuse me," Dick nodded.
"What happened to you on the plateau?" Aaron asked.
“An army,” Dick replied, “and a strongman.”
Why did you choose to clash with them?
"Because they're leaving the plateau, which means they'll be passing the tower," Dick said, "so I have to stop them."
"Where to?"
"Take the Jade Record."
