Chapter 154: Archive Library

The caretaker of the archive was an aged old priest, bent at the waist, his sparse white hair in disarray, adorned atop with a complex set of lenses made from brass cranks and crystal panes, with a scent of machine oil emanating from his being.

The old priest sat behind a dark-hued circular desk, intently studying what appeared to be a mechanical creation akin to a Rubik's cube through the lens assembly, using some delicate tools to disassemble the cube into a pile of components. The brilliance of the gas lamp shone on these parts, giving them a glittering glow.

As Fenna approached, her tall figure blocked the light to the side, prompting the old priest to lift his head and push aside the lenses from before his eyes. Seeing who it was, he smiled, "Oh, it's the Judge—what assistance do you need today?"

"Where can I find the City-State's disaster records from around the year 1889?" Fenna nodded to the old priest and inquired.
