Riding and slashing the stars of empire civilization

When Milin grabbed Lapland and climbed onto the roof of the temple, Attila, who was several hundred meters above Milin, also sneaked into the library where information was stored in the temple.

Attila, who has obtained the official temple apprentice qualification, can also come into this place on weekdays.

But every time he came here before, Elander was with him, and Attila could not freely read all the materials in the library.

Attila, who had seen many magical things in this library, believed that there must be something hidden in it that could help Master Milin.

Attila emerged from a box and was a little surprised why the guard holding a durasteel spear was missing from the door of the library.

Didn't it mean that this person's name is Ahsoka, and she is considered a guard among the temple guards who will never leave her post no matter how big something happens?

But thinking about Master Milin's big move, Attila temporarily suppressed the strangeness in his heart.

With almost silent steps, Attila quietly pushed open the heavy metal door of the library.

In the endless library, huge bookshelves several stories high stood quietly there.

Every other holographic projector had its sound turned off, leaving only translucent images playing in a loop.

Very good, there is no one, no temple guards climbing ladders looking for information, and no masters and disciples walking back and forth talking softly.

Attila, who was slightly relieved, did not stop, but quickly walked deeper into the library and stopped under one of the bookshelves.

Ever since Elend stopped her from taking out the information in this bookshelf one time, Attila had remembered this bookshelf.

There is no need to use the escalator next to it, because using the escalator will inevitably make the sound of the pulley rolling.

Relying entirely on his own strength, Attila climbed up to the middle of the bookshelf with his hands and feet like a gecko. He took a deep breath and pulled out a book from the bookshelf that could be used as a shield.

Attila, who had only one leg and one hand to hang himself on the bookshelf, raised his other leg to hold the shield book and quickly read through it.

However, Attila, who had just flipped through less than a few pages and had gone from being semi-literate to a top student proficient in several languages ​​within a few months, turned red and reluctantly stuffed the shield book back in his hand with an embarrassed look on his face.

Attila, who is still young in modern times, cannot yet read this popular science book that records the mysteries of the human body with a calm mind.

Attila, who pulled out several books in a row and found that they all contained this content, later realized why Elend's expression was so subtle when he stopped her.

Knowing that his initial plan was a failure, Attila maintained the same posture as a gecko, jumping back and forth among the bookshelves several floors high.

Just when Attila came to the bookshelf as the second target location, a very sudden sound of crutches and sticks was heard below the bookshelf.

Attila, who was startled, quickly pulled up his hood and pressed his entire body against the bookshelf, using more careful movements to squirm quietly.

Unfortunately, before Attila could move to another bookshelf, the footsteps that were not far away suddenly stopped at Attila's feet.

An old voice accompanied by a dry cough sounded:

"This is a good thing. Curiosity about knowledge is, ahem, but this method is not necessary."

Attila's heart skipped a beat when she heard this voice. She remembered that the only time she heard this voice was when she had just arrived at the Guardian Temple and met with the Guardian elders.

At that time, the person who spoke with this voice and tone was one of the highest-ranking elders in the Council of Elders.

"Fear, fear, in the dark, you will inevitably be surrounded by these emotions."

Seeing that Attila did not come down, the elder of the temple guards continued:

"Fear gives birth to anxiety, anxiety makes people angry, and anger makes people fall into darkness. Come down, child, I have no malice."

Although in the previous stealth training led by Milin, Attila had the experience of almost being discovered.

But this was the first time Attila had been caught directly like this.

After struggling for a while, Attila fell down after realizing that he could not escape from the hands of the temple elder.

The suppression of the Force in the temple does not distinguish between friend and foe, and this temple elder who speaks with a dry cough always looks like he is dying.

Attila, who chose to fall behind, thought that if a fight really broke out, he might be able to gain some advantage by relying on his physical advantage.

Perhaps because of his advanced age, the temple elders, who had shrunk to less than half a meter tall, saw Attila falling down. He used the crutches in his hands and said with a smile on his wrinkled face:

"With such great malice, there is no need to talk to you, I plan to"

"What's there to talk about between the assassins and the temple guards?" Attila, still covering his face, said in a completely uncooperative tone.

"Temple guard, you too, child." The old man raised his head and looked around, then raised the crutch in his hand and waved it.

Two of them were left on the bookshelf by some unconscious temple guard.

This action made Attila's pupils hidden under the hood shrink slightly. This was the first time she saw someone who could use the force so freely under the pressure of the temple.

"I'm old and my legs and feet are not good, so you should sit down." The old man climbed onto the chair with a crawling motion and said to Attila with a smile on his face.

"I did not accept any arrangements from the temple guards." Attila said, not sitting down obediently and continuing to keep his body ready to take action at any time.

"But at least you have embraced the power of the light side." The old man who was not angry said.

"My master said that there is no right or wrong in power, they are just tools." Attila responded immediately.

"Assassin-style answer, very standard, cough cough cough." The old man, who still did not show anger because of Attila's response, continued with a recalling expression on his face:

"I haven't heard that in years, already."

Before Attila could react to what the old man's inverted sentence meant, the old man, still immersed in memories, continued:

"Many years ago, I was an apprentice."

", discuss together, learn together, explore together, in this place."

"Oh, I'm getting older, these old-fashioned things, I like to reminisce."

"..."

Attila didn't pay attention to the kindness expressed by the elder when he said this.

All her attention was focused on the temple elder's words "many years ago"

Obviously, the "us" the old man mentioned also included the former assassins, but according to the records in the temple, the last assassins have disappeared for more than 800 and nearly 900 years.

Could it be that this temple elder is an old monster who has lived for a thousand years?

Just when Attila was shocked when he realized the true age of the temple elder in front of him, a slight vibration came to the library through hundreds of meters of mountain.

"Active and impulsive, just like before." The old man used his crutches to eliminate the slight shock that was already imperceptible.

"I'll meet him if I have a chance."
