The stone-paved roads of the Nan Wan Tina border city-state looked ancient and serene under the soft morning light.

Lanchi walked slowly, a bright and cheerful smile on his face.

Talia’s killing intent had been resolved just like that.

It wasn’t difficult for him at all.

Next, he planned to head to his destination for the day – the border city-state library.

This was a place he, in his previous life, would never visit, but now it seemed like a world of endless treasures.

Although the border city-state library was far inferior to the libraries of large cities or the kingdom's famous Royal Library,

many precious books that couldn’t be found at home were recorded in the town's library.

Lanchi had quite a few books he was interested in and urgently needed to consult.

The thought of living a peaceful life again filled Lanchi with anticipation.

As long as he wasn't killed by Talia and she didn't get her hands on the crucial funds to start her restoration plan, he seemed to have indirectly saved the world from turmoil and made it a better place.

As for the mere 3 pounds a day he promised her…

Even if she stuck by his side until she died, it wouldn't be enough for her to restore a country.

Once she had earned enough for travel expenses so she wouldn’t have to sleep in the open again, she would probably be tired of this ordinary town and soon choose to leave.

After all, she was different from him. He just wanted to be an ordinary person living freely, while she had lofty ambitions.

Thinking this, Lanchi arrived at a bakery highly recommended by the maids, bought his breakfast, and then, holding the paper bag, continued walking along the street towards the library.

The library wasn't too far from his house.

Even walking at a leisurely pace, it would take about thirty minutes to reach the library.

The shops along the street had already opened their doors to welcome a day of business, and the enticing aroma of bread and coffee wafted along the cobblestone path.

The morning glow and mist dissipated beside the buildings on both sides, and green moss covered the winding road ahead, as if telling the weight and glory of history.

Gradually approaching, the sound of church bells echoed in his ears, the melodious music sacred and devout.

Everything he saw was magnificent.

Lanchi bit into his cheese and fruit-filled bread, breathing in the fresh morning air.

Before he knew it, he had arrived in front of the border library.

For the next few days,

he, with his thirst for knowledge, would surely become a regular here.

On the huge front of the building, a row of majestic stone pillars stood above wide steps, and the outer walls were filled with stones that had been deposited over the years.

Entering the interior,

he saw arched long windows with intricate patterns inlaid around the edges, reflecting a soft halo.

He went straight to the counter and quickly obtained a library card.

Then Lanchi walked into the large reading area.

Guided by the indoor map, he found the books near the law and literature section, lightly touched the spines of the books, his eyes quickly scanning them like flowing water.

Soon, Lanchi took a thick book from the shelf—

*Hutton Kingdom Code*

He took the book and sat down at a long table, satisfied, and began to read.

Now that he had come to such a fantasy world,

besides understanding the world's situation and intelligence,

most people would definitely be eager to explore their talents or try to learn magic.

But Lanchi was not like that.

He wanted to study law.

Magic and power were certainly important in this world, such as magic cards, which could bring unimaginable wealth and extraordinary power.

Lanchi was also fairly certain that he had a good talent for card making.

However, becoming an excellent card maker could not be done overnight.

He still needed a lot of magic engineering knowledge and diligent practice.

Looking at the present, knowledge and wisdom were his foundation for survival.

Sometimes, knowing the law could make the opponent lose and be sentenced to life imprisonment, or win and be sentenced to death on the spot.

So he wasn't in such a hurry to study magic cards for the time being.

He felt that the most important thing when arriving in a place was to fully understand the country's laws.

—Or rather, the "basic rules."

So Lanchi came to the town's library early this morning, found the latest revised edition of the *Hutton Kingdom Code*, and began to carefully study it word by word.

He, who had always been law-abiding, would never do anything prohibited by law.

…

Until sunset.

The warm glow of the setting sun streamed into the library through the windows, and a peaceful atmosphere permeated the air.

Lanchi, at the desk, lingered over the books, reading while gently brushing the thin pages.

The orange-red sunlight shone through the glass windows, illuminating his focused face, adding a touch of gentleness and elegance to his features.

"Isn't that literary youth super handsome?"

"Yes, he's so earnest and focused. He's been sitting there reading law books all day. He looks like a super genius."

"Wait, isn't he the纨绔子弟 from the Wilford family? That Lanchi Wilford with the terrible reputation?"

"Uh... but you can tell that he really reveres the law. Maybe the rumors aren't so true!"

The girls behind the counter whispered, occasionally glancing at Lanchi.

His soft black hair and clear emerald green eyes complemented his innate poet and painter-like temperament. Once he wasn't so纨绔, his whole person seemed to have undergone earth-shattering changes.

However, Lanchi, who was focused on reading, seemed to ignore time, completely unaware of the irrelevant commotion in the library.

It wasn't until the light outside the window gradually dimmed that he realized it was almost closing time at the library.

After moving his gaze from the book, he finally felt a long-lost soreness in his eyes.

Looking up, he found that the library staff had become sparse.

"Tomorrow I'll study the basic knowledge of magic engineering in this world."

Lanchi muttered to himself, inserted a bookmark in the code, and then closed it.

It was time to go home.

Besides borrowing the code that he hadn't finished reading, he had also roughly listed his borrowing catalogue.

For example, he was very interested in several books that he accidentally glimpsed while searching for the code:

*Principles of Detoxification*

*Resistance Strategies for Mental Interference Magic*

*Curse Magic Prevention Methods*

After all, after studying the kingdom's laws and regulations, the next step was to study magic cards.

A person with a pure heart like him must thoroughly understand how to deal with those dirty magics!

Just thinking about the possibility of others using these magics against him made him feel uncomfortable all over.

And what if.

Just saying what if.

If he one day had to use these efficient magics…

Then he also needed to know how to bypass these defenses.

As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated!
