After reaching the main workshop's room through the heavily secured basement, Rylis brought him to a crowded set of shelves stacked with books and scrolls.
Rlyis reached over and began pulling a few volumes from a dusty stack. "This is what I call my personal library," she said, handing the leatherbound and basic paper bound mix of books to Lassim.
"These will lay the groundwork you'll need before you're ready to tackle anything more complex around here—especially our advanced project downstairs."
Lassim's mind spun with the titles alone as he checked them—Fundamentals of Array Theory, Mana Conduction Principles, and Artisans of the Elements: A Study on Array Channeling.
With a nod of thanks to Rlyis, she then strangely handed him a plain fabric satchel before he could store them away in his magic pouch, the old fashioned and non-magical kind.
