The Martial Unity

The more Rui looked at the libraries of Gehu, the more he came to like it. Unlike the Derimont Bazaar, the libraries of Gehu had a positive impact on society. Here, one could come to freely learn as much knowledge as they wanted to, potentially to change their life for the better. It was an avenue of opportunity for the average person.

Rui simply walked in, sauntering around nonchalantly.

He was wearing the badge that Sian gave him, so he was sure that soon enough, he would be approached by someone.

For the moment, he was curious about the inventory and catalog of the entire library. There was so much information here that he was actually intrigued and curious about it.

This place held his interest even outside of being the base of operations of the Beggar's Sect. He could use it to quickly gain tons of relevant and important information that would help him if he stored it in the Mind Palace. He could even gain more intelligence on substances like the primordial seed. It was definitely something that was worth considering.

However, the books weren't the only things that drew his attention. All of the libraries and their various sections had a public sitting area that extended far and wide, accommodating many people, as well as private accommodations for the wealthier who wished to have more privacy and comfort.

Rui could sense anti-sensory technology in these private compartments, making them increasingly difficult to sense. Some had managed to even hamper his Riemannian Echo, which was quite impressive.

Looking back at his visit to the Derimont Bazaar, he knew that the purpose of these private compartments was simply to hide the use of anti-sensory measures of the Beggar's Sect, so that people didn't grow suspicious, or use it to locate members of the Beggar's Sect since nobody would be able to distinguish them.

"You seem rather interested in this particular section, sir," A staff member drew his attention. "If you wish, I can bring you to a qualified expert who can recommend an assortment of relevant literature that will surely be of interest to you."

Rui nodded. "Please do."
