The Defeated Saintess Is On A Journey To Tame The Evil God Book 01 Chapter 06.09 - Whale Song

Nevirabeta Library was the largest library in the entire Citadel, boasting a collection of over fifty million books, spiral in structure, extending all the way to the top of the North Tower.

Upon entering the library, Aurora looked around, mumbling continuously: "I still haven't returned the books I borrowed before... although I didn't check them out..."

"That's not a good habit." Xing Mo smiled helplessly, "You're supposed to check them out yourself at the front desk."

"But that's really troublesome. Why isn't there a librarian?" Aurora pursed her lips.

"There actually is one, and we're here to find her." Xing Mo stated.

"Oh?" Aurora seemed interested.

Xing Mo then led Aurora through the library, searching along rows of seats.

In the afternoon, many students were seated in the library, enjoying their study time. Most of them looked to be in deep focus, seemingly detached from the surrounding world.

The atmosphere of the Nevirabeta Magic Academy had always been academically rich. Most of the people who came here were seekers of knowledge, filled with curiosity about string magic. They naturally wouldn't miss any opportunities to learn.

After wandering past book-filled shelves with Aurora for a while, Xing Mo finally found the petite figure in a corner of the great library's third floor.

She was a young girl with blue hair and blue eyes, wearing a white cap that resembled a sleeping cap over her smooth short hair, dressed in a white dress. Her slender wrists extended from wide sleeves, her delicate hands holding a book larger than her face.

She read the book in her hands intently, seemingly oblivious to the arrival of Xing Mo and Aurora.

"That's our librarian, Ms. Aimer Gehrels Sophia." Xing Mo introduced to Aurora.

Ms. Aimer, the mysterious great library's librarian.

She rarely stayed at the front desk. Instead, she wandered throughout the library like a ghost, reading in silence.

When students came to her to check out books they wanted to borrow, Ms. Aimer usually responded lazily with something like "write your name yourself."

Over time, students who visited the library developed a strong sense of self-reliance.

As for Ms. Aimer, there were many rumors about her.

Some claimed she wasn't human, but a kind of "spirit" born from the countless books.

Others claimed she had read every book in the Citadel, that she had to read them again and again to retain the massive amount of information.

Yet others claimed she was actually a Demigod rank string player, possibly possessing strength on par with Headmaster Merlin.

What could be confirmed was that Aimer's age was a mystery: nearly every generation of students recalled encountering her during their time at the academy.

According to everyone's description, she had always looked like a teenager, around fifteen years of age.

But Aimer had never addressed these rumors. She spent all her time in the library, oblivious to the outside world.

The aloof and detached bearing led to the students to embellish the story so much that encountering Aimer in the library was considered a kind of fateful encounter.

Some students even sketched her while she read... though... Aimer was probably unaware of these things.

After all, she was deeply engrossed in her reading, and no one dared to disturb her.

Despite being a Bellkeeper, even Xing Mo didn't know Aimer's true identity. She once asked Headmaster Merlin. But his reply was just a brief sentence: "If she wants to stay there, then let her stay there."

Therefore, if Bishop Freyr came to Nevirabeta Library looking for something, the answer could only be obtained from her.

"Ms. Aimer." Xing Mo approached, her voice very soft, "I have something I'd like to ask you."

Aimer did not respond, but her brow furrowed slightly, indicating she heard it.

"Let's wait for a bit." Xing Mo said in a quiet voice, "She might be deeply engrossed in her reading."

"Quite the attitude." Aurora muttered softly.

The two then sat down opposite Aimer, waiting quietly.

About ten minutes later, Aimer put down her book and spoke in a placid tone: "If you want to borrow a book, you don't need to inform me. Just check it out at the front desk."

She evidently thought Xing Mo and Aurora were new students visiting the library for the first time.

Xing Mo cleared her throat and explained, "No, Ms. Aimer, we're actually here to inquire about Bishop Freyr Sunlight."

"I heard he came to see you. Do you remember?" Xing Mo asked.

Aimer replied indifferently: "He just came to borrow a book. I helped him find it, and then he left. He has yet to return the book."

"Do you still remember the title of the book?" Xing Mo inquired.

A faint smile tugged at the corners of Aimer's lips: "Of course. There's no book in the world that I don't know. The book is called True Vision, and it talks about the theory of spiritual vision."

"He also asked me if there is a kind of spiritual vision that could enable you to see God, and I told him that there is indeed."

See God? Why would Bishop Freyr ask about this?

Suddenly curious, Xing Mo went on to ask: "Is there really such spiritual vision?"

"That's not something new students like you should concern yourselves with." Aimer's voice was languid, "Mortals cannot gaze directly upon God. Even Saints, despite God's protection, will face powerful backlash if they gaze straight at God."

"Wow, that's amazing." Aurora exclaimed.

"The knowledge contained in books is endless. You should spend more time reading." Aimer advised.

"We will." Xing Mo nodded.

Thus the trail is interrupted again... Bishop Freyr came to borrow a book, but the book disappeared with him. There probably aren't any more clues left.

Hold on... if Ms. Aimer has seen the book, considering her claim of having read every book, shouldn't there be a record of it in her mind.

In other words, the key point lies in spiritual vision that can be used to see God?

If I could learn it and use it to look at the Starsea Spring, wouldn't I be able to learn more about the truth behind Bishop Freyr's disappearance?

After all, the Tree of Life vision granted by Aurora seemed to have certain limitations. Xing Mo couldn't be sure if what Bishop Freyr saw was the same as what she saw.

Consequently, Xing Mo considered carefully for a moment and then said: "Ms. Aimer, could you demonstrate that spiritual vision for us? I'm just curious."

"Of course I can." Aimer casually fished out a wand, "This requires a simple ritual magic."

When she finished speaking, Aimer played two radiant, colorful strings in the air, and her blue eyes turned deep and mysterious.

At the same time, she murmured softly: "Goddess of the Starsea."

"You are the ruler of the stars, the supreme gold, the eyes that dot the night sky."

"You are the guardian, the Goddess of sleep and tranquility, the one who lights the golden dawn."

"I pray that you clear my vision. Allow me to see through the fog of illusion and glimpse the truth."

After finishing the chant, Aimer closed her eyes and murmured softly: "This ritual magic allows you to see God's projection. Although it's just a shadow, but it's enough to cause harm to the soul."

"Unless you've reached my level of attainment, I don't recommend..."

Aimer trailed off. She opened her eyes, and her pupils shook slightly.

The second half of the sentence was stuck in her throat; she saw terrifying power gush out from Aurora's soul.

It was a six-winged green figure!

In other words, it was the soul of a God!
