With Dana immersed in her work, Remi and Socrate spent the next half hour immersed in their search for new knowledge, but only found a few books that they didn’t already have in their possession.
They brought them to the counter to purchase them anyhow, and were given a duplicate from the storage room, while the display copy was placed in a cart, to be returned to its shelf.
That was a curious process to Remi. But it wasn’t difficult to understand.
The Library books were for reading in the Library, and if you needed to keep one, you bought a duplicate that the Librarians had made.
That way the shelves stayed full, and everyone could come here to research.
With their purchases made, the pair went to wait by the writing section for Dana to finish what she was doing, and to check out a few of the Romance titles, in case there was something Opal would appreciate.
{Someone’s about to do something dumb.} Remi noted as she watched a group of warriors enter the Library with their eyes scanning the room.
They pushed right past the Librarians, who immediately called for guards.
But the guards from the local forces wouldn’t get here in time to protect their Library from the oncoming confrontation. So, they would have to focus on keeping the books safe.
It wasn’t common for attacks to happen in the Library, but it did sometimes happen, and it was clear that it would happen here today as well.
They were marching right through the Library, knowing where they were going before they had arrived. But it was only when Remi realized that they were headed for the writing section, did she realize that Dana was the target of today’s daily dose of the dumb.
Elder Socrate, motioned for her to remain silent. The Naga was almost certain to make things worse, as there was a good chance that someone would think she was a juvenile and attempt to abduct her as a bonus.
The Lycan had realized the same thing that Remi had, and he also moved to the side of the writing area, a few rows back and out of sight.
If they were going to try to steal the book that he had purchased, he would not let them have their way.
But if this was a personal grudge between the two, he wouldn’t interfere with someone else’s fight. Dana was an exceptional craftswoman, but she was still a stranger, not a friend, not a member of his Clan.
Plus, she had an Elder with her from her own Clan.
Dana put the freshly created Skill Book into her inventory, and stood to face the group that was coming her way.
"That’s her. Grab the crafter."
The Lycan sighed. That was what he was afraid of. They had heard from someone in the Library that there was a particularly skilled crafter present. And because she was not a threatening looking person, they decided to go ahead and do something dumb.
He needed that skill book.
His older daughter was about to awaken her Class, and she had a huge affinity for all things magical, a rarity for Lycans. At least, when the magic wasn’t related to melee combat or shamanistic nature magic.
But the Lycan recognized it immediately.
