"Brief History" in this book provides a concise record of history from before the Dawn Land was born to the present, with content that is very simple, often just skimming over many events.
Herag initially didn't pay much attention to it, just like other books, flipping through the contents and scanning them for records.
Unexpectedly, he saw the words Sixth Ring Tower.
Herag had previously considered the possibility of learning about the Sixth Ring Tower in the Dawn Land, only realizing aboard the airship that the six great wizard organizations in the Dawn Land were not called the Sixth Ring Tower.
He didn't ask Pries about it either, because he wasn't sure what kind of existence the Sixth Ring Tower was.
After finishing this Brief History, Herag was relieved he had never mentioned the Sixth Ring Tower to anyone.
Moreover, he would never reveal to anyone in the future that his meditation method came from the Sixth Ring Tower.
According to records in "Brief History," before the birth of Dawn Land, when the Abyss Plane had not yet invaded and the pollution zones hadn't appeared.
That time was roughly ten thousand years ago, when wizard culture was prevalent on Kala Continent, it was the time when wizards were most powerful.
Various brilliant talents emerged, and numerous powerful wizard organizations were distributed across the land.
Back then, the wizards' reach extended not only throughout the Wizard Plane but also to other planes.
It was the peak of strength for the Wizard Plane; many planes could not rival it, unable to resist the invasions and plunder by the Wizard Plane.
During this period, many powerful wizard organizations expanded rapidly, leveraging resources acquired through plunder.
Most of the current wizard organizations in the Dawn Land were the leaders of that time; otherwise, they wouldn't have survived till now.
Among these wizard organizations, Sixth Ring Tower was indisputably the strongest wizard organization.
The Sixth Ring Tower had six Sixth Ring Wizards who jointly established the Sixth Ring Tower.
At that time, the Sixth Ring Tower was the holy land in the hearts of all wizards, and countless wizards fought to join it.
During the glorious era of the Sixth Ring Tower, other wizard organizations hardly had a say, and the Tower effectively ruled the entire Wizard Plane.
All the authority was in their hands, and promising new talents were prioritized for entry into the Sixth Ring Tower.
But when the Abyss Plane began invading, everything changed.
At that time the Wizard Plane was very strong, but the Abyss Plane was even stronger.
The book doesn't say much about the specifics, only that when the Abyss Plane invaded, it decimated many resisting wizards with overwhelming force.
At this time, the wizards, who always placed themselves above others, realized they weren't as strong as they thought.
Then began a long-battling plane war, with wizards having the advantage in local combat, while the Abyss Plane invaders were suppressed by the World Will, unable to exert their full power.
The first wave of invasion from the Abyss Plane didn't completely defeat the wizards; given a chance to breathe, the wizards quickly organized themselves.
In this process, the Sixth Ring Tower played a leadership role, organizing the wizards to resist the invasion of the Abyss Plane.
But later, the Sixth Ring Tower became traitors, embracing the Abyss Plane.
This surprised everyone and dealt a significant blow to the Wizard Plane.
According to records in "Brief History," the sudden allegiance of the Sixth Ring Tower to the Abyss Plane left the defenses weak, allowing the Abyss Plane to exploit the situation.
At that time, the wizards were plunged into fierce battles, paying a heavy price to repel the Abyss Plane and repair the plane fractures everywhere.
Many said that if the Sixth Ring Tower hadn't betrayed the Wizard Plane at the time, they could have repelled the Abyss Plane at a minimal cost, and not so many people would have died.
Moreover, the invasion from the Abyss Plane was repelled, but left many aftermath issues, like today's pollution areas.
The Sixth Ring Tower was utterly nailed to the pillar of historical shame, despised by all.
After that, any wizard still loyal to the Sixth Ring Tower was annihilated.
Herag silently returned the book to the shelf, pondering something.
"Brief History" introduces too little, lacking detail, with too many things merely glossed over.
Herag doesn't completely believe the depictions in this historical book, as history is written by victors, and many records reveal oddities and irregularities, some defying logic.
What is written in "Brief History" isn't necessarily the truth, but the truth the victors want people to know.
Herag can only explore the true history once he has enough strength in the future.
However, these are temporarily not important; Herag only needs to know that the Sixth Ring Tower carries a negative image in the Dawn Land, affecting some subsequent decisions.
Since he knows the Sixth Ring Tower is deemed as sinners, he must not have any ties to the Sixth Ring Tower, at least not let anyone know.
Herag continued picking up other books, scanning them for recording.
During this time, he came across some history-related books, and the content about the Sixth Ring Tower was practically the same.
The evaluation of the Sixth Ring Tower was also very consistent, regarded as traitors to the Wizard Plane.
Herag suddenly remembered that the plane coordinates he held came from a wooden disc, which is engraved with a hexagonal tower.
And these plane coordinates just happen to lead to the Abyss Plane.
Herag paused his hand holding the book, feeling the wooden disc likely originated from the Sixth Ring Tower.
Regarding why it serves as coordinates for transferring to the Abyss Plane, and what the purpose of creating this disc was, Herag remains unclear.
Herag absorbed and processed the information he just encountered while continuing the task of scanning books for recording.
Due to the crowded library, Herag had to slow down and input gradually.
Otherwise, in others' eyes, Herag would appear to flip through a book and put it back immediately, which repeated continuously would seem very odd.
Herag initiated Shenlan's environmental detection, constantly monitoring the surrounding activity, and only scanned books after confirming no one was observing him.
This caused the book input speed to slow significantly, and Herag spent seven days completing the input of all books on the first floor.
When stepping onto the second floor, David and Reese were still on the first floor, not even finishing their first book.
For any wizard, learning requires time, even after reading through in seven days, truly understanding and mastering takes much longer.
The second floor of the library is slightly smaller in area than the first floor, with significantly fewer books.
However, most are more advanced books here, the content discussed takes a deeper level.
Herag, as before, recorded the books here at a leisurely pace.
Others come to find particular books out of necessity; he directly takes away the contents of the entire library.
