In this world, everyone knows the importance of books.
Books carry knowledge and represent experience, and even knights for entertainment are often lonely or rare books. Even storytellers would not casually sell their treasured books, which they relied on for food and livelihood, let alone those books that recorded important knowledge or important historical materials.
The Tuoli family, even if they are so poor that they are almost out of business, have no plans to sell books, or copy books to sell. After all, every book in the family's collection was brought back by the ancestors through hard work.
Rooney knew that even though his father had no gambling debts, he never considered selling or copying books. But he really didn't expect that because he was drunk, he would tell the biggest secret of his family.
Looking at Rooney's livid face, the little fat man Malfoy smiled: "It seems that what your father said drunk was indeed true. I thought he was just bragging."
"Just tell me the location of the book, and I can let you brothers and sisters go. After all, I am still very kind."
Rooney looked at the triumphant Malfoy, gritted his teeth and said, "Malfoy, your father is famous for his kindness and kindness. You are completely embarrassing your father by doing things like this."
"No, on the contrary, I am actually more merciful than my father." Malfoy put away his smiling face and said slowly: "Kindness and benevolence are just means. When I brought the soldiers out, my father didn't say anything. Besides, if there is no father's acquiescence, do you think I can invite Master Lakola?"
The magician next to him laughed.
Speaking of this, Rooney knew that the other party was greedy for his family's collection of books. Those are 3,000 ancient books. From another standpoint, if it was me, I might not be able to bear this kind of greed.
Wait... Why did I trust Lord Beta so much and took him to the basement
Is it because he is the master
Seeing Rooney in a daze, Malfoy thought that the other party was thinking, so he continued: "Although I can't understand you all the time, I don't really want your life. Three thousand ancient books, even if you don't tell the location, I will After taking you and your sister, you have to speak out, can you still watch your sister suffer? Besides, even if you don't care about your sister's life, after killing you, I can still slowly Why waste your time and mine?"
Rooney had to admit that what the other party said was very reasonable. At this moment, he really complained about his father for the first time. Why did he go to the other party's house to drink when he knew that the other party and his family were not right? Qing, is it true that the older you get, the more confused you become
The younger sister stayed in the room, looking through the window at the people outside in fear.
Rooney took a deep breath and put away his weapon: "You won, but you have to let my sister get out of here first, I don't trust you."
Little Fatty Malfoy smiled disdainfully: "Okay, no problem."
"Carissa, come out, get out of here."
After a while, the younger sister came out from behind the door and said timidly, "Brother, I want to be with you."
"Hurry up, don't wait here to die, Malfoy has bad intentions for you." Rooney took a deep breath, "Stay far away from here, the farther the better, find a reliable person and live with him."
Kailisa froze for a moment, then bit her lip and nodded. She and her brother depended on each other for life, and in many cases, they knew the meaning of the other party from the small changes. She could see clearly that her brother wanted her to go to Beta for help. After understanding this, she ran out without hesitation.
Seeing that the girl ran away and Malfoy was not stopped, Rooney was relieved.
But in the blind spot that Malfoy couldn't see, that is, at the end of the little fat man's group, a soldier silently and translucently left the team.
The Tuoli family's manor is on the outskirts of the city, and there are relatively few people here. Although it was noon, there were not many people on the road. Kellysa ran hard, she didn't know where Beta had gone, but she thought that even if he wanted to go out of the city, there was only one way.
The girl has a delicate body. Although she ran with all her strength, her speed was not very fast. When she was panting for breath, she suddenly felt that her ankle was tripped by something, and then her whole body was almost 'slapped' on the ground. It's not that the 'front armor' is thick enough, this fall will definitely make her feel better.
But even so, the pain in her chest was so painful that she could barely breathe.
Then she felt someone grab her hair and pull her into the woods next to the road.
As a woman, she was keenly aware of what was about to happen, and just as she was about to open her mouth to shout, a big hand with a smell of sheep pressed her nose and mouth, and a translucent face was in front of her, and then this His face became clear and ordinary, but the lust in his eyes seemed to be spurting out.
Carissa struggled hard, but how could a weak woman be a professional opponent.
Well, he could only watch helplessly as the other party's big hand reached out to his chest.
Who will save me!
Carissa closed her eyes and cried out in despair, she had no hope.
Then she heard a strange sound, and then the man's muffled hum, and the big hand pressing her nose and mouth suddenly disappeared.
She took a few breaths, opened her eyes, and saw that the person pressing her nose and mouth had disappeared, and in front of her eyes was Beta's heroic face.
Kailisa couldn't help crying. After crying a few times, she wiped her eyes and said, "Your Excellency Beta, please save my brother."
"I know. You stay here first."
Beta stood up and walked towards the manor. Kailisa froze for a moment, and hurriedly chased after her. She was a little afraid of this place.
At the same time, Rooney was gasping for breath. Beside him, five soldiers had already fallen down, life and death unknown.
His sword was already stained with some blood.
"I said, as long as you tell me where the books are collected, I'll let you go immediately." Malfoy said with an ugly expression, "Why are you so stubborn?"
Rooney panted and sneered, "Because I know you, Malfoy, you've never been a person who keeps promises."
After a brief silence, Malfoy shrugged: "Since you have exposed him, there is nothing we can do. Master Lakola, please trouble you, this kid is quite strong, I don't want to lose too many soldiers."
"no problem."
La Ke pulled his finger up slowly, and Rooney suddenly fell to his knees. A powerful mental force oppressed his body.
Although Rooney is good, he has not yet reached the elite level, and Lakola is already at the master level, crushed by the biological level, Rooney has no chance to fight back.
The magic power of Lakola's finger turned into a long, pointed ice ball. Just as he was about to shoot it, Rooney leaned on the long sword with both hands, and he closed his eyes helplessly, not intending to resist anymore.
At this time, a ray of golden light came from a distance, like a scorching sun melting snow.
