Beta followed the two siblings to a small manor, a very small manor. It's a little smaller than Kyle's old house. But even if it doesn't look good, their lives should be much better than ordinary people, of course, on the premise that they don't owe debts.

Entering the house, Beta found that there was very little furniture in the room, not even a few chairs, let alone other home decorations.

The girl searched around the house and found only two chairs, but there were only three people here.

The young mercenary Rooney was a little embarrassed on the spot: "I'm sorry, almost all the things in the house have been sold out by my father." ”

With the quarrel between them and the little fat nobleman before, coupled with seeing the situation now, Beta has already reasoned out the situation of this family in his mind.

Presumably the father of these two people, who owes a large amount of money, is definitely usurious, and most of them are due to gambling. To make a small wealthy family like this, there is only gambling and drugs, and there are no drugs in this world, it can only be gambling.

Beta waved her hand to show that she didn't care, and then asked, "You want to talk to me?" ”

Rooney asks Beta to sit down, and the girl runs to the kitchen, as if to get something to entertain the guests.

When there were only two people in the living room, Rooney took a deep breath and asked solemnly, "Do you recognize, or do you know, a person named Beta?" ”

Beta was a little puzzled: "Have you seen me?" ”

"Are you really Lord Beta?"

Completely unexpected, Rooney jumped to his feet, and the look on his face was very intriguing, both incredible and joyful, but also mixed with fear.

That's right, it's fear.

Beta looked up, looked into the other's eyes, and asked, "Your reaction is strange, why?" ”

"I ...... I...... I. ”

Rooney opened his mouth and couldn't even speak coherently, he seemed to be in a state of emotional out-of-control.

Beta was not in a hurry, and sat calmly, waiting for the other party to calm down.

Rooney took a few deep breaths in a row, and his emotions gradually calmed down. After all, it is a professional close to the elite level, and this bit of control is still there.

He sat back in his chair and asked with a look of fear and expectation, "Is Your Excellency really Beta?"

"My name is Beta Lyon. Any questions? ”

Beta was not too surprised by Rooney's gaffe, he is now the pope of the Fortune God Cult, and to some extent, he is at the same level as the king, and it is not surprising if the other party knows his identity and behaves like this.

But in essence, Rooney didn't seem to know the identity of Pope Beta, he hesitated for a moment, and said: "I know that what I say next may be a little unbelievable, but I can guarantee that what I said is true, I just don't know if you want to believe it, Your Excellency." ”

Beta raised her brow a little curiously.

At this time, the sister came in with two cups of warm water and a plate of bitter vegetables, placed them on the table, pretended to glance at Beta casually, and then left with a blushing face.

Kuluo is actually a pickled vegetable that is a bit similar to radish, and using this kind of thing to entertain guests shows that the family is really poor.

Rooney didn't care about the table anymore, he was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "My ancestors used to be very powerful, probably three hundred years ago ...... now"

Beta's eyelids jumped, the word 'three hundred years ago' had a special meaning to him, he looked at the other party's slightly familiar face, and vaguely understood something, and then all the fog in his thinking dispersed, and he already had the answer in his heart.

"He went from an ordinary person to a professional all of a sudden, and he made a great reputation, and directly turned himself into a nobleman, and then we, the descendants, also got some light. It's just that we don't fight, and the more we mix, the worse we get. ”

"My ancestor's name is ......"

"Ash-Toll."

Beta grabbed the words in front of him, and then continued: "I finally know why it feels a little familiar to look at you, you look a little similar to your ancestors. ”

"Are you really Lord Beta mentioned in my ancestors' books? You actually lived for more than 300 years? Rooney's face was full of disbelief.

"It's not strange to have an immortal bloodline and live longer." Beta said in an indifferent tone, "Ash left a book to record me? ”

Rooney nodded.

Beta asked, "Can I take a look?" ”

"Okay, no problem." Rooney stood up and led Beta to the first-floor storage room, then opened a plank on the ground to reveal the basement passage below.

"I grew up reading that book, Lord Beta, you are one of the people I respect the most."

Rooney walked in front and said, "I thought you had become a historical figure like your ancestors, but I didn't expect that you were still alive and coming out of the dream. However, the ancestors also said in the book that it may not be a dream, but a strange and exotic land that resembles a spiritual world. ”

Beta sighed inwardly and did not speak.

When the two of them reached the bottom floor, the musty smell came to their faces. Rooney lit the candle in his hand, and a dim yellow light filled the space.

The basement was full of bookshelves, full of books, all kinds of books, even entertainment books such as knights, and Beta estimated that there were about three thousand books here.

It doesn't sound like much, but in this dark age when the inheritance of civilization is extremely easy to break, having so many books is a very exaggerated thing in itself.

Most of the books here looked very old, and Rooney walked over to look at the oldest shelf, which smelled of decay. He took out a crumpled book from a slate box that was about to be broken when he looked at it, and said, "This is the diary written by the ancestors themselves, that is, since the generation of Ash's ancestors, our family has had the habit of collecting books. This is the greatest wealth of our family, even if my father is a gambler, even if he is forced to run around in debt, he has never had the idea of selling books here. ”

"If any of these books were sold, he would have paid off his gambling debts and had a slight surplus, but even so, he never thought about it. So I think my father still has a bottom line, but he really can't quit gambling. ”

"Why not sell one of the less important books?" Beta was somewhat incomprehensible.

Rooney placed the old book in front of Beta as if on a pilgrimage: "This is your teaching to Ash's ancestors, and it has always been the ancestral teaching of our family. ”

"Force and flesh will eventually perish, but only inherited knowledge will last forever."
