Chapter 295 - Gibberish

The room of which Osira and Ada discovered, is perfectly sized as 10 meters wide and long! Whatever the reason why the Snow Ignites felt like they need a place this big for experiments or whatever else they did here, it seems unnatural.

It feels like a piece of this room is missing, as if someone dashed in and stole its contents. There isn't any food here, so Demons couldn't be the case. Or this could just be a theory of which Ada thought of.

As the left side caught their attention, they saw books. Lots of books, but not enough to fill the shelves! Yes, they discovered that there is more than one book shelve here. Three occupy 4 meters of the left side with ease, it reaches almost near the area where the room splits this mini library and the experimental side.

Three tall shelves appeared in front of them once they had a closer look, they immediately grabbed a couple of them and tried to see what information it can carry. Snow Ignites have been known to be ahead in time on most cases, so this is worthy of checking out.

Opening the book, Osira could read a lot about some sort of animal. In the first page it wasn't easy to make up what animal the author of this book is talking about, but at page three it specified a creature as big as a bear with horns on its head.

This creature was first mistaken as a demon, due to the horns as you might have guessed. The topic here is about this animal called a "Cow". Although this is an animal more common in Zameria, it is intensively rare here in Ignis.

Reading further, the book stated. "This "cow" lets out this white substance, drinkable and delicious but it becomes a hassle to get it out of the animal as they kick." Or at least that's what she understood, this is Snow Ignite language from the second Era.

Although not completely different from the language most use now, it has a thicker dialect and accent. Not to mention it is hundreds of years old, the parchment preserved this information tremendously well but a half of words still sound so gibberish.

The book further stated, "The reason why these animals are rare, is because they are not animals originating from Ignis. And those who were left here by sh.i.p.s who had to cut down some cargo due to unspecified desperate situations, were hunted down by people who thought that they are Demon Bears. Brown Cows faced the worst fate!"

It is weird why this type of information is down here, and it doesn't belong in an experimenting room. Unless the Snow Ignites did experiments on cows or other animals? Well at least books seem to have labels, this book states "Cows".

At page 7 she saw a drawing of a Cow and she understood why a lot of people saw them as demons. They are big and have horns, this at least unintentionally adds another piece of information.

The illas for example, were established over 150 years ago. Before that, Ignites weren't exactly stereotyped as demons considering how much people see them as one at the moment. But apparently the word about demons still spun around at that time, perhaps thanks to ancient religions who don't have any followers right now? There are plenty of them.

Ada was trying her best to figure out what she was reading, the book she picked is different. Well maybe not in form but, this one has different content. Although at some aspects smarter, the content here made absolutely no sense and the book even seems older. The pages are a bit more mutilated.

10 pages after, Ada figured that this book is about the types of rocks and what they are good foor. Their durability and their sharpness too, the Snow Ignites sure had time on their hands.

Well they can read these books all day if they had the time, but they still have a lot more to explore and Bittore has to be told about this. The best people to work here are the elderlies, although not guaranteed they are smarter than the younger generations since they know more.

However they are more close minded and are taught to live by their boundaries, they won't discover anything new if they experimented. All they could do is read all this information no one else would be willing too thanks to two reasons.

Half of it sounds gibberish and there is a lot to read. A rather bad combination from a prespective of any individual who doesn't favour books? These two don't exactly know what to do about it, it is why this requires further guidance from the Grand Leader or at least dump this find on her and let her worry about it, these two are just sent to explore after all.

"There are so many books here!" Ada pointed out the obvious as she tried to read more and more even though when she tried to sound the gibberish words out she almost chocked.

"To bad it looks like demon language." Osira joked around, not minding at all to call the Snow Ignites demons. I mean they do fit the title in some aspects, although we can't say for sure about the Snow Ignites of this domain.

...

Meanwhile, at the right wing on section 2. Jone and Clarry are exploring the first tunnel. Good enough for the knees, they don't need to go up or down a staircase. The tunnel seems quite straight and to make this situation a lot more odd, they actually faced a metal door for once. Signifying at least some sort of superiority if not mass materialistic value like most of what was discovered until now. What could be lurking behind that door, or what could be collecting dust to be more precise.

Well they are close to finding out because this tunnel is only 10 meters long, one of the shortest actually. Jone already had a hint of what might be behind this door, perhaps a private room for someone who thought himself as superior?

Walking close to the solid Iron door, Clarry tried the doorknob and was quick to figure out that it has collected more than enough dust. So being gentle has been ruled out as an option.

"Let's just blast this door out of its hinges!" Lost Jone her bit of patience and gave a bit more stamina to the fire glowing above her right hand.

"No!" Clarry tried to calm her down while already developing another plan in her mind although her wordplay different at first. "What if there is something valuable behind this door?"

Thinking about what she theorized earlier, Jone calmed down a little bit and backed away a couple of feet. "Well what do you think we should do?"

"Move aside." Clarry smirked, dependable on her attributes. "I'll kick this straight pile of rust down."

In this group of two, Clarry is the most reliable when it comes to kicking doors down. She is an inch shorter than Jone but definitely has more muscle to work with, she is 70 Kilograms of muscle.

Fixing her hat so it doesn't fall down, she charged towards the door and both her feet separated from the ground! With both feet, she kicked almost the top of the door. It is a good move since hinges are usually at the top, middle and bottom. While at the top they are the most vulnerable.

The doorknob will likely be weaker and budge open, it is not certain so let's move on shall we? Kicking almost at the top of the door, she felt the light smash of an impact once her speed was slown down by the door.

But she became victorious indeed, the door got its top hinge broken and the doorknob broke as well. Most of the door still remained in tact but it was still broken beyond repair, they don't need it anyway.

Bashing through the door like a boulder, she swiftly turned around mid air before hitting the ground. Last thing she needs is to land on her back where pieces of Iron might or might not be on the floor underneath her.

She landed on her hands and feet, almost looked like she did a push up and became more and more glad that she didn't sustain any injury.

"Good work." Complimented Jone and walked in to provide illumination to this place.

"Thanks!" Clarry answered before she stood up with little effort, "So what do we have here?"

"Skeleton." Jone answered calmly, not disturbed of what content this room offered.

"Looks like this one locked himself in." Clarry added, trying to figure out what happened here hundreds of years ago.

"Well it isn't a surprise for men of higher standards to hide and let others fight for him!" Jone found disgust of the double standards more than the actual skeleton.

"Wait what's that?"
