Girl Hero: Revenge on Goblins!-Chapter 862: D308: The Book
Capítulo 862: Chapter D308: The Book
The initial shock and turmoil subsided into calmness, and the numerous Knowledge Hunters flew back to their places, continuing their work in silence and order.
Despite the differences in birth timing and the knowledge they collected, resulting in varying sizes and strengths among the Knowledge Hunters, these differences do not create a hierarchy.
Although the deep blue Knowledge Hunter seemed to be leading somewhat, there is no class distinction among the Knowledge Hunters.
Unlike humankind, which requires rules and regulations to form a consensus, they are conceptual life born for knowledge, each instinctively performing their duties to keep this vast library running.
The Great Hunter, familiar with the Hero, also ran to the stele to start analyzing the data.
The one continuing the conversation with her, however, changed to the Knowledge Hunter radiating a deep blue light.
The personalities of the Knowledge Hunters are roughly the same, or rather very faint, and it could even be said that the concept of “personality” is unnecessary for them.
Although the Hero could distinguish between different Knowledge Hunters through some details, communication with them does not differ significantly.
“Has the analysis of the Moon Sea Ruins been completed?” she asked curiously.
“Yes, we can no longer extract more valuable information, but it can be confirmed that there is some connection between the ‘Lord of Seven Seas Moon Night’ and the ‘Emperor of the Northern Dragonborn’ —
“Based on this connection, we have also identified a path leading from the land to the ‘Moon Sea Ruins’.”

“Ancient Dragon Ridge… but not having to go to sea is a good thing.” The Hero nodded to show understanding and then questioned with curiosity:
“So, where are we going next? Directly to the Ancient Dragon Ridge?”
“Not in a hurry.”
The deep blue Knowledge Hunter gently floated backward, releasing a wisp of soft black mist that wound around the Hero’s wrist, transforming into a shadow-like bracelet.
“First, let’s go claim your reward.” It led the Hero to a row of towering bookshelves standing silently.
“Since you are willing to risk your life to assist us, we ought to reward you. This is not only a reflection of equivalent exchange but also helps improve your survival rate in the future.”
Under its guidance, the Hero slowly raised her hand, and as the black mist bracelet approached, one of the many books on the shelf suddenly distorted slightly, also transforming into swirling black mist.
“This is…”
“It’s our body — the ‘Book of Hunter’ that has lost its life.”
Hearing this answer, the Hero opened her eyes wide in surprise but felt it was expected.
Before the Knowledge Hunter answered, she had already perceived the difference in this book: while other books on the shelf were filled with knowledge, this one was peculiarly hollow, like a specimen emptied of its contents, leaving only an outer shell.
“We bury our kin within knowledge. As long as you use the mark to touch, you can extract the residual concepts into your own soul.”
The tone of the deep blue Knowledge Hunter remained as calm as ever, without sorrow for its deceased kin, nor considering this an act of desecration.
“Which book you choose shouldn’t matter too much to you, as what you need is merely the seed of the soul.
“However, due to the difference in hunting records during life, the residual concept fragments in each book vary slightly, but we can’t judge which one aligns better with you.”
“You can take your time choosing, there’s no need to rush your decision. You may also come back in a few days.
“We welcome your visit at any time.”

[Double Extreme Failure~]
Extract the Transformer of Knowledge Hunter and obtain the qualification to enter and exit this great library at will—
Such tempting rewards lay before her, making the Hero reach out longingly.
As a child, she completely couldn’t understand why her father and brothers could stay in a study all day, even for days, ignoring the sweets placed at their side, and engage tirelessly with an arcane tome…
But now, she understood that feeling.
As long as the book was opened, it was like glimpsing the face of another world; every page turned allowed her to feel she had learned more; even from fiction, she could receive real impact and inspiration, making her deeply immerse himself within.
Spellcasters, scholars, even countless ordinary readers, and even patients suffering from knowledge addiction… they all strive to open book after book for the sake of pursuing these.
The Hero, who was once difficult to understand, had grown super smart and no longer stared blankly at the obscure text, nor felt restless after reading for a short period.
Books, to her now, are like enticing desserts.
The paper and ink are the shell, the knowledge the filling, and the insights the aftertaste; every reading offered a different flavor.
She felt she was almost able to understand why Book Spirits fed on books.
Such feelings naturally made the Hero unable to stop; books in the Book Church could keep her seated for an entire day, let alone the pass to this Hunting Knowledge Library before her.
But right before her fingertips were about to make contact, she suddenly halted.
The Emerald Eye restrained its burning desire, moved away from the shelves, and looked at the deep blue Knowledge Hunter quietly floating beside her.
“…Is it really okay?” The Hero’s gentle voice carried a hint of hesitation.
“This is your… the remains of your kin, right? Can it just be absorbed by me like this?”
