"No, there are still some!"
Suddenly, Eli pushed away a broken bookshelf. There were still some books under it.
"A popular science book!" Eli picked it up and looked at the cover of the book, which had the words "a comprehensive guide to the races of the mage world ". He picked up the other two books, and they were similar.
However, it was normal. When they evacuated back then, the Mages must have taken away most of the knowledge. Only some of it was left behind.
Thus, Eli quickly went through the books, and in the end, he managed to gather about a hundred books on the first floor. Although most of them were about science, there were still some books that were about research and magic. Eli felt that they might be of help to his research on the second seal or stage of the endless devouring spell.
After confirming that he had finished searching the first floor, he continued to go up.
