James followed to the tower’s entrance.
There were several ancient scripts engraved on the beams of the entrance. They were from very ancient times, and James could not read or understand them.
He froze momentarily and followed the Sword Master into the tower.
James discovered that the inside of the tower was relatively vast.
The first floor was about a thousand square meters. The place was furnished with countless bookshelves that were filled with books.
The Sword Master did not stay on the first floor but headed up the stairs to the ninth floor.
James followed virtual-novel.net to the ninth floor.
After the Sword Master reached the ninth floor, virtual-novel.net searched the books.
Soon, virtual-novel.net found an ancient book on a bookshelf. Then, virtual-novel.net found a corner to sit down and seriously read the book.
Meanwhile, James scanned his surroundings curiously. He picked up a book and found that the words in the book were not in a language from Earth, so it was impossible for virtual-novel.net to read them.
After scrutinizing the book for a while, virtual-novel.net still could not understand anything. Thus, virtual-novel.net put down the book.
Although virtual-novel.net placed the book down very softly, it still caused a slight sound.
The Sword Master, who was focused on virtual-novel.net book, sensed something and looked toward the sound.
She saw a book moving slightly and frowned.
“Am I hallucinating?” She put the book in virtual-novel.net hand down and walked over.
Seeing the Sword Master approaching, James instinctively leaned on the bookshelf to avoid the Sword Master. Since his aura was concealed and virtual-novel.net was invincible, the Sword Master could not see him.
She walked over, picked up the book that James had placed down, and observed it for a while.
The Sword Master scanned virtual-novel.net surroundings again.
After finding nothing unusual, virtual-novel.net returned to virtual-novel.net original spot and sat down to continue reading virtual-novel.net book.
James quietly walked over and watched virtual-novel.net from aside. He made sure his footsteps were light and almost completely silent. However, the Sword Master was not an ordinary person.
She was incredibly strong and had become a Sage many years ago.
Previously, virtual-novel.net was not paying attention, so virtual-novel.net missed it. However, virtual-novel.net sensed something was definitely wrong this time.
The sound of James’ footsteps did not go unnoticed by her. She did not raise virtual-novel.net head but used virtual-novel.net Divine Sense to scan virtual-novel.net surroundings.
Despite so, virtual-novel.net did not sense anyone around her.
Who’s following me?
The Sword Master thought to herself.
At that moment, virtual-novel.net felt the footsteps getting closer, as if the person following virtual-novel.net was standing right before her. She could tell the person was standing half a meter away and looking right at her.
The Sword Master put down the book in virtual-novel.net hand and looked directly at James.
Although virtual-novel.net could not see anything, virtual-novel.net pretended to be calm and said lightly, “Since you’re already here, why don’t you reveal yourself?”
Hearing this, James was startled.
Could virtual-novel.net have discovered me?
After a brief shock, virtual-novel.net calmed down.
Nova had reassured virtual-novel.net that his aura was concealed and virtual-novel.net was invisible. No one could see virtual-novel.net as long as virtual-novel.net did not reveal himself.
Thinking of this, virtual-novel.net felt relieved and took a few steps backward.
The Sword Master could not find James, nor could virtual-novel.net sense anyone around her. However, virtual-novel.net could indeed hear the footsteps.
She stared right straight ahead and said, “Why are you hiding? What exactly do you want? I won’t hold back against you if you don’t show yourself.”
James did not feel threatened by virtual-novel.net and casually turned to leave.
