The next day just meant when the date had changed as the sun would not come out to indicate the arrival of a new day in this continent. So after all three of the girls talked for a very long time about various topics, they also dressed up to get ready to take a stroll through the city. In the midway of their conversation they had also included Grace as their conversation partner so her relationship with Elena and Tomoe had also increased by a great degree.
After talking with Grace for some time they found out that Grace was a very big fan of spearmasters. So much so that the primary god that she worshipped was not the vampire goddess but the goddess of Myriad Weapons. So when she learned that Elena was a great swordmaster, she was very excited.
So before going out Elena and Grace decided to do a practice duel only using spears. Grace was quite strong and her level was 269. So even among A rankers she was not a novice. But obviously she was not capable of defeating a S ranker and Grace knew it. So she actually wanted to learn more about this amazing weapon that she loved from the bottom of her heart.
The duel between Elena and Grace lasted for about an hour. It was not really a duel but Elena coaching Grace. Elena was actually quite impressed by the way Grace handled the spear. Her style was quite opposite of Elena but it was definitely a well thought out method.
Elena did not like to depend on any particular weapon. So if she had a need she would not think twice before letting go of her weapon. But Grace was a traditional spear user who had made her spear almost a part of her body and would never give up on it. Her passion for it was very clear.
After the end of this little practice fight Grace bowed to Elena in gratitude. She had improved a lot after getting coached by Elena. She felt like she would be able to polish her spearmanship even more if she followed the advice that Elena had given her. So she was very grateful for this guidance.
...
After this practice session was over, finally all four of them went out of the mansion to visit the city. The practice took place in an indoor training ground that was attached to Alisia's room so no one was aware of this. So the ladies came out fully dressed up, no one would be able to tell that these ladies had been fighting just a few moments ago.
As Alisia was planning to show Elena around the city, they did not take a carriage and instead decided to visit the city on foot. This way Alisia would be able to explain about various things that they would see on the way.
This city was not divided in various sectors like most cities were. That was mostly because vampires did not care much about traveling distance between shops and most of the vampires liked to open their shop in their homes. That was the reason why there were random shops selling various things in random places.
This would be a very confusing city to live in for anyone but as the vampires had a very good memory, they got used to this over time and did not mind it that much. So there were no particular districts that only sold things for adventures or an area filled with only clothing stores. So if anyone wanted to buy many things, they needed to run all around the city.
The place where Alisia took Elena, Tomoe and Turin first was a museum. It was very close to the main mansion and it was also one of the most famous attractions of this city that had the records of all the major historical incidents related to this city.
Elena and Tomoe both were extremely curious about the story related to the large temple and the best way to tell them about that story would be by using the various documents kept in the museum. That was the main reason why Alisia brought them to the museum fist. She wanted to tell them the story of the super large temple.
...
After entering the museum they walked around various halls and saw many ancient things related to the history of this ancient city. It was definitely interesting mostly because Grace was explaining about all the incidents in great detail. Her style of telling stories was also very good so all Elena, Tomoe and Turin enjoyed it.
The museum was very large so technically it was impossible to go through the whole place in just a few hours. So Alisia and Grace only took Elena and the other two to items that had exceptional value or were very famous.
Then Alisia used her authority as a noble vampire and booked a private room in the museum. These types of rooms were mostly used to hold high executive meetings and these were generally not something that outsiders had access to. But obviously as a member of the ruling noble family of this city, Alisia enjoyed several privileges and this was one such privilege.
She not only booked a room but also took out various books and documents from the forbidden library of the museum. This museum had a very big library with tens of thousands of books in it and this place was open to the public after they paid a little fee that was mostly used to take care of the books.
But outside the public section of the library, there was also a forbidden section where very few people were permitted to enter. This place had many classified documents and records. Some of the documents were so important that a rival noble family would kill to get their hands on these.
So even for the members of the Utreyana family, not all of them were allowed access to the forbidden library. Alisia had this access because she had helped her father and the library to solve a troublesome problem when she was young. And as her reward she was given the permission to browse the books of this place as much as she wanted.
But everything was not so simple. Alisia had to make hundreds of vows in front of the goddess before she was given the official permission. All these vows were related to the secrecy of the forbidden library and she was not allowed to give any of the books to others. If she did that, she would be punished by the goddess because of the vows. Even the family head himself was also bound by the same type of vows. That was just how important this forbidden library was.
The books and documents related to the formation of the temple were not classified items that had some kind of secret written in it. That was the reason why Alisia was able to bring these things out. Now after learning about all these Elena and Tomoe became even more curious about the story of how this grand temple was built.
