CH475

With his bookmaking done, Ben went out to start the day, putting his main destination on hold since it was still early, to instead visit the church he had set up, wanting to give it a look.

There was not much need for cleaning. Given the evaluation of gods in that world, anyone who went in, even those who didn’t necessarily give his god any faith, made sure to show a certain level of respect and kept the place in top shape, and he was fairly sure that Sachel would occasionally visit to dust.

He wasn’t there to inspect the level of cleanliness though; making so many books had reminded him of something his god had once mentioned and he’d decided to put it into practice as he rearranged the space.

Despite how big the church was, having two stories along with both a basement and a sub-basement, only the main floor was open for public use, with the rest of it being left for whatever he personally felt like storing, but that was going to change as he began lugging up piles of the books he had down below to the top floor, moving the shelves as well before he organized it all to create a proper library.

It had taken a couple hours thanks to the sheer volume he’d been accumulating and while he’d been doing it he’d been making books as well, with texts covering what could be done with the first tier of each of the ten affinities being made, along with a couple that covered a few of the more prominent non-affinitied magics.

He was able to make about two books like that without Thera around so long as his mana pool was full and it took him less than fifteen minutes to refill it, so even if he wasn’t as fast as he had been in the morning, he was able to chip away at it all as he’d worked, with the public library of Myriad complete.

It still needed a sign, both out front along with inside to point up the stairs and remind people that if they wanted to use it they should at least offer a prayer, but he couldn’t help but feel a small sense of pride by the end.

He’d originally shot down the idea because he didn’t want to risk losing any book he hadn’t yet read when his god had suggested it, but that was no longer a problem. There was nothing there he hadn’t consumed and the nature of his mind meant he could bring it all back to the front of his thoughts so making it a resource for the town as a whole felt nice.

There. Aren’t I a great apostle? Don’t you love me? He asked up to the sky.

<You sure can be when you want to. This is excellent and the books you made are a nice touch. You should consider making more to bring here.>

When I have time I’ll make some more covering the intersecting points for various branches and some more on both non-affinity and combined branches, but I think this should be good for now. Even if it only gets a couple people in per day, that’s a couple more prayers for you, right?

<It is. I appreciate it.>

No worries.

With that little side task done, he moved on to the main one, walking through the busier streets now that people were up and enjoying their day to get to his research center to see what progress had been made since he’d last been in.

He made his way through the halls before finding the one in charge. Kufno was busy talking with some of the others as they scribbled down notes, using the cube that contained a section of the summoning spell as a table to do it.

“Kufno,” He called out, getting the man’s attention and giving him a grin. “Sorry it’s been a while since I’ve been in. How have things been going here?”

“I would say rather well, Ben. While we don’t have many theories, testing is at least ahead of schedule,” He told him positively. “Can I assume you’re here to go through the books?”

“That you can, I’ll be back in a bit to talk about how it looks after.”
