The Extra Wants To Live

Chapter 6: imperial library [3]

Carl thought Milton would be of no help beyond crutches, but surprisingly, Milton was a great help.

Of course, Milton, the imperial physician, had already combed through the imperial archives once. Therefore, Carl's itch was scratched.

"Medical books won't help."

That alone saved me from having to look through useless medical books.

So, He pretended to think about it for a moment and started acting in a slightly different direction.

It would be good if he could find it himself, or even if he could not, it would be good if he could meet the 3rd Prince Nero.

Since Nero would not be interested in medical books, that alone could be seen as a great help to Milton.

It didn't stop there, Milton steadily retrieved books following Carl's difficult-to-understand requests for help, and read and checked numerous books instead of Karl, who was slowly turning pages.

There was one small but big problem here, and that was that Carl did not know very specifically about the treatment.

He only knows the properties and names of the items needed for treatment. This is because 'Lucas' only roughly read the novel.

So, although Carl could accurately specify it, he couldn't find it naturally.

So, all I can do is search through the library in a hellish time.

For four days like that, Carl spent all his time in the imperial library except for sleeping and washing. Meals were also eaten in the library as a privilege of the prince. There was no need to warn him since he could only eat mulga soup anyway.

While Carl fell asleep from exhaustion, Lilly changed his clothes, cleaned his body, and massaged his exhausted body.

If it weren't for Lilly, Carl wouldn't have even been able to wake up.

Lilly was heartbroken because she couldn't even talk to Carl. But when she saw Carl doing his best, she was able to have hope.

When Carl went to the library, Lilly tidied up the room, then knelt by the window and prayed to God.

'I believe that Duren, who looks closely at all things, will answer because he loves those who work hard.'

'Shit! Where has Nero gone?'

On the other hand, Carl was caught up in anxiety.

I thought I would be able to see Nero in a day or two, but I can't even see where he is and what he is doing.

Well, since he wasn't the type of person to sit in one place, to begin with, it might be even weirder to be able to see him so quickly.

In the end, rather than relying on Nero, who could not know when it would come, Carl searched the book more passionately to arrive at the answer on his own.

Seen from the side, Carl looked truly strange. He seemed to be preoccupied with knowledge itself, not necessarily with ways to cure the disease.

The standards for the books he was looking for were so confusing to the public that everyone tilted their heads.

However, some people were quite moved by that sight.

They were librarians who loved books and felt sorry for the books in the imperial library that were just wasting time without anyone looking for them.

"Master Carl."

"… … ."

Palak.

"Master Carl."

"yes? Ah, yes."

On the fifth day, a librarian smiled and called Carl. Then she politely held out a book.

"By any chance, don't you need a book like this?"

Carl was embarrassed, but because Carl's life was at stake right now, he picked it up and examined it.

'About the mysterious and surprising life forms encountered in the Dietrick Great Wilderness.'

This is a book that librarians put their heads together to understand the criteria for the book Carl chose.

"Ah, thank you."

Carl was startled and received the book with a slightly trembling voice.

'it's a shame!'

The direction was surprisingly accurate. But unfortunately, it was slightly, just slightly off.

Dietrick Great Wilderness is a place blazing with scorching heat, so it is a bit far from what Carl wants.

Still good. Just narrow down the scope like this and he'll reach it! If he does well, he will be able to find a clue within today!

After all, if he were a librarian at the Imperial Library, he would be able to select books like a ghost like this.

Karl quickly flipped through the book, trying to find the information he wanted. And when he discovered something that might be helpful, he meticulously wrote it down in his notebook without missing anything.

The handwriting was a mess because he wasn't used to it, but it was just legible. All of this will later serve as evidence that he reached the answer through an appropriate process.

In the process, Carl was able to gain a lot of unexpected knowledge. The grandeur of the imperial library was truly amazing. There is nothing.

From Carl's perspective, all of this knowledge felt like secretly peeking into the settings of an interesting novel. It was full of interesting things, and that was why I was able to continue this seemingly meaningless task without stopping even though I was nervous and anxious.

"… … ."

"… … ."

Carl was so engrossed in his book that he didn't even notice that Milton, who was sitting next to him, had quietly woken up.

Milton silently rearranged the chair, stepped behind Carl, and stood with his head down.

Palak.

The sound of paper turning over rings quietly.

Carl blinked the moment he turned the page, and after rubbing his dry eyes, he finally realized that someone was standing across from him.

"Do you want to go on an adventure too?"

Hearing a soft voice ask a kind question, Carl clenched his fists without realizing it.

'Here he comes!'

When Carl looked up, across from the desk was a tall, handsome young man looking at him with a smile.

The first thing that catches his attention is the beautiful blonde hair, which appears to be made of melted gold. Along with delicate facial features and slightly reddish-yellow eyes, it creates a striking impression.

Members of the royal family don't usually wear any accessories or clothes with decorations. However, this individual was so beautiful that their flowing golden hair was enough to capture attention.

Carl paused for a moment at that sight.

Finally, he met the 3rd Prince Nero...
