631 Killing for the sake of books

Rooney shook his head: "No, there is only this one diary left by ancestor Ash, but there are several books about him, all of which are his sons and grandsons, and of course memoirs written by my ancestors." ”

"Can I take a look?" Beta asked.

"Absolutely." Rooney seemed to be prepared, he pulled out a few old books from the wooden shelf next to him, and then asked with expectant eyes, "Your Excellency Beta, can I also call you master like my ancestors?" ”

Beta stared at Rooney for a moment, and the latter's eyes were filled with inexplicable anticipation. Beta knew that Ash must have passed on the abilities of the Knights of the Round Table system in words or by mouth, and Rooney was hungry for power, which was not a big problem, but the problem was that Beta didn't want to meet the descendants of an acquaintance now, so he accepted it as a Knights of the Round Table.

Therefore, he smiled and said: "The most important thing for people is freedom, Ash exchanged freedom for strength, that is he needs strength, but you are different, you now have strength, close to the elite level of professionals, you are still so young, you have a great future, you don't have to be attached to me." ”

It was a very gentle refusal, and Rooney understood it, extremely disappointed. But he still forced a smile and said, "What a pity, Lord Beta. Please dine downstairs. ”

The two went downstairs, and the younger sister had already set the lunch and tableware, and when she saw Beta coming down, her face turned red unconsciously, and she lowered her head and sat down gently.

My sister's cooking skills are very good, the honey bread is fragrant and fluffy, and the veal is fried like a yellow cake with some spices sprinkled on it, and the appearance alone is already mouth-watering.

"It tastes good."

After lunch, Beta complimented her sister, and her sister blushed with joy.

Beta then went upstairs and returned to his room, where he continued to read the journals to see if he could find anything more useful.

And the younger sister, who was in a state of excitement, finally found out that her brother was in a state of loss, so she asked suspiciously: "Brother, why do you seem to be unhappy?" ”

In her mind, now that the family's debts have been paid off and the legendary master has been met again, her brother should be happier than herself, after all, she knows very well that the eldest brother admires the most is the 'master' who gave their family strength.

"Lord Beta has denied my request to become an entourage."

My sister's eyes widened in disbelief: "Why is this happening, the strength of the eldest brother is not bad, if you are willing, even if you become the entourage of any big man, there is no problem." ”

Rooney said with some disbelief: "Maybe I'm missing something." After all, when Ash's ancestor was still an ordinary person, the master felt that the ancestor should become a knight, and even came to lobby three or four times. The master is the master, and he will not look up to me because I have strength. ”

My sister opened her mouth, not knowing how to persuade her.

For the next two days, Beta read the thick memoirs and didn't get any more news from them. But even so, he felt that staying in this city for two days was not a waste of time, at least he got another piece of 'fragment' about the 'God War' before and after the event, and he also knew Ash's descendants, and he was much more relieved to see that their lives were okay.

Beta then asks them to leave, and Rooney and his sister are both disappointed.

It was morning, the sun was warm and bright, and Beta was walking down the street, looking for a stable, and was walking, when he accidentally saw a carriage on the other side of the street traveling in the opposite direction from him.

Next to the carriage, a large group of soldiers was around. This is nothing, what really made Beta frown was that when he was driving in the carriage, the moment the curtain flickered, he saw a little fat man sitting in the carriage, and a magician, a master-level magician.

This magician's basic skills are good, and his mental power is quite condensed, and he can converge his mental fluctuations to a certain small range. But there is still a big gap compared to Beta, and Beta has reined in his spiritual power, and even a legendary-level person can't feel it.

So, Beta found out about the other party, but the other party didn't find Beta.

"In this direction, they won't be going for Rooney."

Beta, feeling a little unhappy, turned and followed.

On the side of Torrey Manor, Rooney and his sister watched Beta leave, and they stood there for a long time before returning to the room. After the two entered the room, they also sat down facing each other without saying a word.

Rooney is because he has not fulfilled the duties set by his ancestors, and his sister is because some unknown girl is careful.

Both of them were silent for a long time, and the younger sister, who had a little red in her eyes, stood up, and was about to say that she was going to rest, but she saw her brother stand up suddenly, grabbed the long sword placed next to him, and pushed open the door with a serious expression.

Outside the door, the little fat nobleman Marf stood at the front, and next to him was a magician in a black robe.

Rooney felt a strong pressure on the magician's body, which made his hands tremble a little.

"Malf, didn't you pay back the gold coins, why did you come to trouble me?"

Malf's gaze crossed Rooney and landed in the room, he seemed to be looking for something, and then his gaze focused and fell on Rooney's body again, his face full of greasy, showing some incomprehensible strange smiles: "It's strange, what about the noble person who helps you, why is it missing, I just brought some people here, trying to find trouble with him." ”

"Lord Beta, you can also move?"

Hearing that Malf's target was actually Beta, Rooney felt a wave of anger in his heart, and his hands stopped shaking.

"It seems to be gone, and it's better to be gone." Malf nodded: "I don't want to offend a magician above the master level. Of course, if he's here, I'd like to see how good he is. ”

When the magician beside the little fat man heard this, he smiled loftyly.

"And what is your purpose, Malf."

"Now, I don't want to say anything more." Malf clapped his hands lightly and said, "I want your family's collection of books, I heard that there are more than 3,000 books, this is the real treasure." ”

Rooney's whole body was like falling into an ice cellar, and his mouth was shaking: "How do you know?" ”

"Of course it was your dead ghost father." The little fat man said as a matter of course: "I have always wondered why your family is obviously in decline, but in the absence of teachers, you still teach a profession like you, and your father, in addition to gambling, is also quite talented, painting and music appreciation are good, you even know some strange secrets, occasionally spoken words, very insightful and deep, this is not normal." ”

"So I found your father at the casino yesterday and asked him to drink, and he was so drunk that he died. I didn't expect to hear such a big news from his dirty mouth. ”

"Three thousand ancient books, all of them are mine."
