Before long, Charles arrived inside a towering building.
As expected, this was the city's library—a structure several hundred meters tall.

Charles even spotted some runes, unlike those used by wizards.
These should be the runes of Bansler's civilization.
This, too, was an extraordinary civilization that possessed unique powers.
Charles recorded those runes, intending to study them slowly later.
