For the next two days, Yide stayed at home with Sonia, not going anywhere.
This was not only to avoid trouble but also to give Sonia an intensive crash course in dueling knowledge.
During this time, Tivia also came to visit once, but the two girls said some mysterious things to each other.
Sonia deliberately didn’t wear her pendant, so Yide didn’t know what the two girls talked about.
He only knew that early on the third day, Sonia went out.
When she came back, her face was beaming with a bright smile.
Yide woke up to find Sonia gone.
Seeing Sonia’s smile when she returned, he couldn’t help but be curious: “Did something good happen?”
“No, I just got something done.”
Sonia put on her pendant: “Let’s go, Mr. Yide, we’re going somewhere today.”
Yide casually asked, “Where are we going?”
The answer was somewhat unexpected.
“The library.”
Standing at the entrance of the library in the Upper District, Sonia looked up at the plaque.
Beside them, an old man dressed as a butler bowed.
“Then, Miss Sonia, I will only take you this far.”
Sonia turned around and waved: “Thank you, Grandpa Butler, please say hello to Tivia for me.”
Then she walked in.
Yide was a little curious: “Was that Tivia’s butler just now?”
In the past few days, he had roughly learned about the city of Ringsfall.
This place was divided into the Upper District and the Lower District.
The Upper District was where the nobles of Ringsfall lived, while the commoners and various types of people lived in the Lower District, which matched Yide’s stereotype.
The entrance to the Upper District was guarded by soldiers, and commoners from the Lower District were not allowed to enter the Upper District without permission; conversely, nobles from the Upper District could freely go to the Lower District and even bring people from the Lower District into the Upper District.
Sonia’s identity was very subtle.
Although she was a noble before, since she had moved to the Lower District, she should, by rights, no longer be qualified to enter the Upper District.
So, this girl went to “call someone” early in the morning?
“Because now I can only rely on Tivia’s help to enter the Upper District.”
Sonia walked with cheerful steps, not seeming at all sad when she said this.
Yide was not surprised by her optimism: “But why suddenly come to the library?”
Sonia said as a matter of course: “Because I promised Mr. Yide I would help you find a way to resurrect.”
Hearing this answer, Yide was clearly stunned.
To be honest, although he had proposed this condition that night, Yide himself no longer cared.
He had actually mentioned this condition to Loveland before, but she had clearly completely forgotten about it.
And after leaving Loveland, he no longer had any hope for this matter.
It sounded a bit humble to say it like this, but now he only hoped to get along normally with his future hosts.
He just didn’t expect that when he himself didn’t take it seriously, there was still someone who remembered something he said casually.
“Hoo-hoo.”
“Mr. Yide, you look at this book, I’ll look at this one. Just call me when you need to turn the page.”
While Yide was distracted, Sonia had already found two books and spread them out on the table.
Seeing the girl’s absorbed expression, Yide opened his mouth, but in the end, could only give a helpless smile.
He had previously said that Sonia’s personality was not suitable for fire element, which might have been a bit biased.
At least this impulsive decision-making, made on a whim, was quite similar to the fire element.
The threat from the Mad Heart group hadn’t been completely resolved yet.
But this girl took a day out and even asked a friend for help, just to come to the library to research such a thing.
It was a bit silly.
But Yide didn’t dislike it.
“Then let’s look together.”
Yide also shifted his gaze, looking at the book under the pendant in front of him.
Soon, a morning passed.
More and more books piled up in front of Sonia.
But Sonia’s beaming smile also became less and less cheerful.

Seeing Sonia’s troubled expression, Yide instead comforted her: “You don’t have to be so anxious.”
Despite patiently staying with her all morning, Yide never held much hope.
It was true that magic existed in this world, and legends of resurrection were not unheard of.
But it would be strange to find secrets of that magnitude in a public library.
If it were that easy, Yide should have been resurrected long before Loveland became king.
This was why, whether by Loveland’s side or Sonia’s, Yide silently helped them improve their dueling abilities.
If there truly was a magic or miracle that could revive him, the closer one was to the pinnacle of this world, the more likely they were to find out about it.
However, Sonia wasn’t as calm as Yide.
She was indeed here today to help Yide find a method for resurrection.
But she also had a hidden agenda.
After winning the duel against Enshir, she became increasingly curious about Yide’s past.
So, she wanted to use the search for methods to revive a soul as a way to uncover Yide’s true identity.
But who knew she couldn’t even get past the first step!
“Wuwu…”
Sonia lay sprawled over the towering pile of books, letting out a frustrated sound.
She really wanted to know who Yide was!
But, should she really ask directly?
She glanced at the pendant beside her, and a voice instantly echoed in her mind, “What’s wrong?” This made Sonia quickly pull back her gaze.
No, Sonia, you can’t give up yet!
Since the occult path failed miserably, she could only turn to history!
Sonia rekindled her fighting spirit and stood up.
“Mr. Yide, I just remembered something I need to do. Wait for me here!”
“Where are you going?”
“Just a moment!”
The girl didn’t answer, just scurried away with quick steps.
Watching the girl’s figure disappear behind the bookshelves, Yide was a little puzzled.
“Hello, excuse me, which shelf has books on dueling history and biographies of duelists?”
“Go straight, it’s the fourth to seventh shelves from the left.”
“Okay, thank you.”
Sonia jogged to the fourth bookshelf the librarian mentioned.
Looking at the shelves packed with various history books and biographies, Sonia made up her mind.
She admitted that it might be asking too much to find secrets about resurrection in a public library like this.
But she wouldn’t give up!
Since taking a roundabout approach wasn’t working, she’d look directly in the history books!
She was determined to find out Mr. Yide’s past today!
Half an hour later.
“…Why does not a single book mention Mr. Yide’s name?”
Sonia despairingly put down the book.
Not even a single duplicate name!
Was her approach wrong?
Could it be that Mr. Yide wasn’t a duelist active decades or even centuries ago?
Or perhaps, Mr. Yide wasn’t famous at all during his lifetime?
Ugh, how could that be?
How could such a powerful duelist have been unknown in his lifetime?
Could Mr. Yide actually be an alien?
None of her questions were resolved.
She had come to the library, but Sonia’s confusion only grew compared to before she arrived.
Well, it was time to go back.
Mr. Yide must be getting impatient.
Sonia stood on tiptoe, about to put the book back.
But just then, an extremely disgusted voice rang out.
“Sonia Seth, what are you doing here?”
