I have a shelter

Chapter 138 The Art of Immortality?

After the knights were busy, George swung the key in one hand and rolled up Anthony's book list in the other hand, and slowly came to the innermost part of the library.

Here, there is a small study connected to the hall, and the university scholar seems to work here usually.

It seems that he never thought that someone would enter here casually, so this small study didn't even care about the door.

The height of this small study is within the range of a normal house, and the furnishings inside are crowded but not messy. On the long agarwood ebony table in the middle, in addition to a few thick books, there are also some strange things, which should be the favorites of the university scholar.

He didn't care about anything, and directly called a few knights to put everything on the table into the bag. Then he swung the key in his hand and looked at the bookcases that were locked in the wall by iron bars like prisoners.

He suddenly felt that it was a bit redundant to take the key. He stretched out his hand and pulled, and the horizontal lock embedded in the wall on the iron railing was deformed with a creaking sound. Then, in the stone and soil that fell from the wall, the iron gate was pulled open.

However, after doing this, George suddenly felt a tingling sensation on his arm, as if he had just grabbed a piece of iron instead of an iron railing.

He shook his hand and stretched it out, and found that his palm had turned black, and this black color seemed to have life and began to spread to his arm. And there was a smell of burnt beard coming from it.

"Toxin? Electric current? Or some weird thing?" George bared his teeth and began to feel a little pain. This feeling was nothing at first, but it became more and more intense over time. Even his body with such high resistance began to be a little unbearable.

An iron hand suddenly stretched above George's arm, and then a light flashed on it. George, who felt the pain gradually disappear, raised his head and found that a red-robed knight was reciting the introduction.

As the introduction was recited, the spicy and numb feeling on his arm gradually disappeared. And the strange black color also slowly faded.

George handed the bunch of keys in his hand to his companions with shining eyes, and told the guys: "Don't leave a single book behind!"

Although there are many books in the library, those are the most valuable ones. So after the knights came and went and filled the cart, George asked them to stop.

It was almost dark, and it would not be good for them to delay too long.

While the scholar helped them check Anthony's book list again, George sat on a table and chatted with the two young female nobles-the girl who looked fifteen or sixteen years old and had some freckles on her face occasionally answered a few words, and she looked scared.

But the girl who was two or three years older and looked very ladylike basically didn't speak, just looked at him coldly-very brave.

But from this question and answer, George still understood their general identities.

As he thought, the two girls who had been watching coldly and not speaking were the descendants of the great nobles in the city - the girl who was about seventeen or eighteen years old, slightly tall, with big blue eyes and long red hair, was the eldest daughter of the Duke (there were three in total, but the other two should have gone to the cocktail party). The other one was the daughter of a certain earl and her playmate since childhood.

"No wonder you look a little familiar, you and your aunt look a little similar." George nodded, with a look of realization on his face: "It seems that I didn't leave a good impression on you. But don't worry, I will send these books back intact after I take them back and copy them."

At this point, George crossed his index finger and middle finger behind his back (indicating that the oath was invalid and praying for God's forgiveness).

For the bad behavior of this shameless robber, the lady who looked very ladylike turned her head away and protested in silence.

"You know, copying documents takes a lot of time." George rested his arm on his leg, touched his chin, and said with an embarrassed look: "So, how about lending me a few more people? This is a good suggestion for both you and me."

The Duke's daughter turned around, widened her eyes, and was full of disbelief. The scholars who heard this also trembled.

But this matter did not allow them to do anything, because the knights had already picked up the ropes and sacks and put them on the scholars. Like piglets, they were carried up by the knights.

At this time, George turned his head: "You two can read, right?"

The two girls could no longer be ladies. The younger one burst into tears, and the older one hugged her, but her eyes were full of fear.

"Boss, are these two girls really going to be taken away together?" The knight looked at the two pale girls hugging each other, and the rope in his hand turned around and was about to put them on.

"I'll just ask them if they can read or not - put down the rope quickly, otherwise the Duchess will really send someone to catch up." George said to the fool with his eyes wide open.

Before leaving, Aggie, who had been wandering around in the small house, finally made some unexpected gains.

Several small bags of gems hidden in the secret compartments - all of which can be used for alchemy. In addition, after Aggie smashed the table, he also found some ancient gold coins and a thin, incomplete document - it said "eternal life and rebirth".

"What a pity, this table is very valuable." George kicked the broken table on the ground and felt a little distressed. But looking at this, the university scholar who often sits here should not know that there is something hidden in it.

"I originally wanted to move this table away and put it in your study in the future." Aji picked his nose and said, "But when I shook it, I smelled the smell of gold coins."

George shook his head and felt a little speechless.

He couldn't understand the things in the book very well. It seemed to be written in an ancient language. But some of the patterns in it should be the explanation of materials and alchemical formulas.

Judging from the things in the painting, many materials are related to the human body. I don't know which generation of university scholars in Yongfeng City left behind them-there are some notes as annotations on the documents. I don't know if those scholars or Anthony can recognize them.

When George and others locked the door and pushed the cart away. The library was already empty. And it was dark.

At the gate of the castle, George didn't see Gavi, but his nephew was here. After the conversation, he learned that more than two hours ago, Baron Collor sent someone to deliver a note with the location of some goods. After receiving it, Baron Gavi hurriedly took people to receive it.

"My uncle said that after picking up the goods, he would go to the city gate first and arrange it there. We will meet there later." Gavi's nephew said: "In addition, I sent someone to inform Baron Babur and Korol. Tell him to find a way to get those wind-singing knights to come out with him and send us out of the city."

George nodded, looked at the soldiers and knights who had packed their things and were ready to leave, and said: "Did anyone go in and out of the castle in the afternoon?"

"Yes, but we invited them all to the tower." He replied: "In addition, my uncle sent someone over more than an hour ago. Informed me that the goods have been taken over, and brought some wine to be delivered to the city gate. I saw a lot of it in the storage room next to the kitchen, and I also loaded some into the car-the temperature outside the city is much colder than inside the city."

"It seems that the situation at the city gate is not bad." George didn't know what to say about the guards in the city and his confidence in his group.

Looking at this nephew who was almost a mold of Baron Gavi, George patted his shoulder and got on the horse and set off.

In George's opinion, as long as they leave the castle, there will be no problem at the gate. But the caution of Gavi and his nephew is worthy of praise.

Even if the Duchess can't think today, so that they have to fight all the way out. He has absolute confidence.

But to be honest, he still doesn't want any fight.

The Duchess, who was watching coldly in the castle, must be the same.

Looking at a balcony on the upper floor of the castle - there was a woman there, who should be one of the Duchess's maids. George immediately stretched out his hand and bowed, not intending to say goodbye to the Duchess in person.

Maybe from today onwards, the Duchess should be able to completely recognize what kind of people the nobles under her are.

"There is a smile on your face, the Duchess gave us a big gift today!"
