Chapter 176
“There are only 346,120 books,” Charlotte answered.Rhys stared at the endless shelves stretching across the enormous library and then looked back at her.“And you’ve read all of them?”Charlotte gave him a flat look.“Of course not. Even with two hundred years, it would be difficult to read every single book here by myself. That’s especially true when new knowledge keeps appearing and older information constantly needs updating. I’ve only read around half of them.”Rhys let out a low whistle.“Almost a thousand books a year. That’s still insane, you know.”He shook his head in disbelief.“Then do you at least know the contents of all the books here?”“What do you think?” Charlotte sighed. “I don’t possess a photographic memory. Even if I could memorize every page, some information would inevitably be lost when I’m eventually integrated back into my original self.”She paused before adding,“That said, I understand the general contents of most books. If I need something specific, I si

‘Risa becoming a vampire progenitor?’Rhys stared at Charlotte in disbelief.The idea sounded absurd at first, but the more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became.If his blood truly possessed the ability to create a vampire progenitor, then it wasn’t just some unusual trait. It was something capable of changing the balance of power across the entire world.People would go insane for something like that.The first thing powerful organizations would think about was not friendship or cooperation. They would think about ownership.Kidnap him.Lock him up.Drain his blood.Use it to raise an army of vampire progenitors.If Charlotte’s theory was correct, countless Beast Tamers would start summoning vampires simply because the reward was too tempting. There would be a guaranteed path toward creating one of the strongest vampire existences imaginable.From a business perspective, it was ridiculous.He could probably sell a single vial of blood for a fortune.Kings would pay for

“Why did a vampire evolve from sucking my blood?”The moment Rhys asked the question, Charlotte answered almost immediately, as though she were reciting knowledge from a book she had studied countless times.“There are multiple reasons. First of all, do you know what the vampire sucks?”“Blood.”“Then what does blood contain?”“Hmm? Red blood cells, white blood cells, or something like that?” Rhys tilted his head. “I don’t know a lot about biology.”Charlotte shook her head.“Your blood is influenced by your Mana and your soul. If you are a being from another world, that influence changes your blood as well. And because you possess a unique Mana capable of summoning beasts, we already know your blood differs from that of ordinary people.”Rhys frowned.“That’s weird.”He spent a moment thinking before continuing.“If that’s the case, why did the person who first discovered Mana in my body say I possessed a tremendous amount of it? When I summoned my first familiar, I only had sixty Ma

Questions kept piling up in Rhys’s mind.The more he thought about it, the more unsettling everything became.How exactly had he arrived in this world?Charlotte’s words had opened a door he had never seriously considered before. Once she started questioning the existence of familiars, countless other questions followed.What had really happened to Gealion, Nidhogg, and Anubis in their original legends?Why were they here?If beings who had already died in their own stories could be summoned, then what did death even mean in the first place?Rhys lowered his gaze.‘Should I accept this deal?’The thought refused to leave him.‘Even the Fairy Queen doesn’t seem to know why I ended up here. If that’s the case, having someone obsessed with uncovering the truth might actually help me. At the very least, she’ll uncover information that I can’t find on my own.’His eyes narrowed.‘And this isn’t just anyone. This is the Fairy Queen. One of the greatest familiars this world has ever known.’

Rhys quickly turned around.“No, that’s not what I’m talking about. Do you even know what a relationship is supposed to be built on? It’s love.”Charlotte looked completely unconvinced.“You possess a quality I’ve never encountered before,” she said calmly. “Someone like you is destined to climb higher and higher. Whether you want it or not, power attracts politics.”She folded her arms.“And once you reach the top, your life won’t resemble the one you’re living now. You may even be forced into marriage simply because survival demands it.”Rhys narrowed his eyes.“You sound like someone who has already given up.”For a brief moment, Charlotte’s expression changed.Then it vanished.She ignored the remark entirely.“Regardless, you proposed. So take responsibility for your words.”“Those are completely different things.”“Are they?”Her gaze sharpened.“For someone who came from another world, I don’t think they’re different at all.”Rhys felt his heart skip a beat.Outwardly, he maint

“How are you able to possess memories like these?”Rhys went completely still.For a moment, neither of them spoke.Then he folded his arms and forced a calm expression onto his face.“Do you honestly think I’m going to tell you?”Charlotte laughed softly.The sound somehow made Rhys even more nervous.“Why are you acting as though refusing is an option?”She leaned back in her chair.“If I truly wanted that information, there are countless ways I could obtain it.”Her smile widened slightly.“I am simply being polite by asking first.”Rhys swallowed.After everything that had happened over the last few minutes, he no longer doubted her.She had dragged him into an illusion without warning.She had reconstructed pieces of his memories.She had exposed details about him that nobody in this world should know.If she claimed she had a method of digging information out of his head, there was a good chance she was telling the truth.And that terrified him.Charlotte studied his face for a
