This is a straight path, but it only takes a few dozen steps to reach the end. At the end, there are five bookshelves, one directly facing the exit, and two on each side. However, the bookshelves on the left and right are not placed directly adjacent, leaving a subtle gap.
And that gap, no matter how you look at it, seems like another passage.
"Yes, the functional areas of the Council are interconnected, but they are generally in a hidden state."
Miss Galina briefly explained, then pointed to those bookshelves:
"All the information is here."
They are five gray, crooked stone bookshelves, appearing even more ancient than the ones at Sister Delphine's summit sacrificial ground. Each shelf is divided into five levels, every level filled with books. But no matter how full they are, only a few hundred books can be placed here. Compared to the ancient history of the Witch Council, Shard even doubted whether these books could record the names of all past council members.
