Chapter 62: This Rain Smells Too Bad!
Inside the Great Library of Ephia, although there was no fire yet, the choking smoke had already spread through the cracks.
"Curator Graty, please hurry up!" In the main hall of the library, a hurried wizard apprentice nervously arrived to find the white-haired and shawl-capped old man standing in the middle.
"What about the city guards and the manpower of several nearby noble estates? This can be the Ephia Library, are they really going to die? ”
Seeing that only the wizard's apprentice was coming, the old curator Grady was full of pain and disappointment, and he exclaimed, "Didn't you tell them that I would stay here forever?" ”
"I said it, Curator...... But there's nothing they can do! The apprentice wizard anxiously explained, "The useless city guards have long since run away, and the noble guards have also been recruited to go to the city gates. ”
"Old curator, listen to my persuasion and leave, those big nobles have actually left the royal capital a long time ago!"
"Even my teacher sent me a message to get out of the city quickly!"
"Teacher!" Hearing the wizard apprentice say this, the other students also came over to look at the old curator.
"You ...... Let's go if you want to go. After a low breath, the old librarian continued, "But I will not leave, I am the director of the Great Library of Ephia, and I will not turn my back on my library. ”
"I'll be here, watching, waiting for ......"
After the old curator finished speaking in a firm tone, he ignored the stunned wizard apprentice and turned to the other staff members to ask for the most classic works of the Great Library to be taken with them before leaving.
He hoped to live and die with the library, but knowledge ...... It should not be cut off with it.
"Scholars, preaching and teaching to solve doubts, you must remember this precept well, so that you can grow and provide further possibilities for future generations."
The old curator's tone was low, and his students were red-eyed, eager to stay with the old curator and live and die with the library.
The old curator seemed to see their thoughts, and hurriedly comforted them, and then urged them to leave quickly, so as not to inhale the smoke.
Suddenly, drops of liquid dripped down the hall through cracks in the roof.
"Great! It's raining! A young child-like student jumped for joy.
Then they saw a large amount of water falling from the sky outside the door.
"Great! The library is saved! ”
Several young students and library staff were also overjoyed, and they actually ran outside, and were drenched in the heavy rain.
"It's not rain, it's the giant fighting the fire!"
The apprentice wizard was a little more sensitive, and he leaped into the skylight on a high place, and at a glance, he saw the tall giant holding a strange container to extinguish the flames.
"Since the fire is extinguished, it seems that the giant will not wantonly destroy the Great Library of Ephia, right...... As long as the library is fine, I can also explain to Teacher Marfa. ”
The wizard apprentice thought so, and just as he felt that the burden on his shoulders was much lighter, he suddenly smelled an indescribable smell permeating the library.
What a taste it is!
The wizard apprentice looked at the door in confusion, and several of the people who had turned into soup chickens there were also full of strange faces.
A young man was grinning and spitting, as if he wanted to spit out all the rain that had been in his mouth.
After the initial excitement had passed, it was clear that the young men had sensed that something was wrong with the rain.
How to say it, although it won't be poisoned even if you drink it, the taste is too weird!
This rain smells so good!
"Hmm......"
Even the old curator, who was like an old pedant, also frowned at this time after smelling the smell of rain.
Before he could figure out what to do, the door to the library opened, and a beautiful girl with a double ponytail and an eager expression on her face shouted:
"Everyone, move the books out of it, there are many, many floods that have broken through the ceiling and flowed into the stacks!"
"What!" Everyone was shocked and hurriedly rushed in to carry the books.
None of them expected that the Great Library had avoided the fire, but it had encountered floods.
Fortunately, the flood came from the terrible giant, and after a while, although most of the books were splashed, they could still be used to carry them out to dry.
It is...... These books have also become very, very flavorful.
After Xiao Yu poured all the liquid in the kettle, he checked around again, and only after making sure that there were no embers before turning around and returning to the city gate.
He had been careful to guard against sneak attacks by wizards, but in fact he had been too careful.
After Xiao Yu killed the Flame Phoenix with a fire-extinguishing brick, the transcendent wizards in the royal capital, large and small, all rushed away from the royal capital.
As for the promise to Grand Duke Anan?
Hehe, wizards don't trade at a loss!
What's more, this terrifying giant must be at least a second-level or above transcendent monster, and these first-level wizards don't dare to send them to death!
As the black elf reinforcements were gradually wiped out, the more than 100,000 troops of the royal capital were surrounded outside the city walls by the army led by the king of the steel capital, Anrique.
The only entrance that retreated into the city was occupied by Xiao Yu, a terrifying existence.
After the high-ranking generals and transcendents were culled one by one by the earth dog Rhubarb, the remaining people who could not advance or retreat began to kneel on the ground one by one and chose to surrender.
General Babu knew that Xiao Yu didn't want to fight in the royal capital in person, so he found out the mercenaries and noble private troops in these surrendered armies.
After breaking them up and mixing them, they promised all kinds of benefits, and gave each of them a bag of sugar as an advance bonus.
Immediately, more than 17,000 new troops were arranged to the legionnaires, and they fought along the city gate into the royal capital.
At this moment, the royal capital has long been left with little resistance. A few places that were barely there were also easily solved under the suppression of the extraordinary barbarians.
In the end, only the palace where the Grand Duke Yanan was located had not yet been captured, but it was also surrounded by a large army.
Stay until lunchtime.
After Xiao Yu saw that the army had successfully entered the city and occupied an open space in the city and dragged all the stone throwers in, he retreated to the electric tricycle, heated a self-heating rice for himself, and prepared to eat lunch.
While Xiao Yu was eating, General Babu personally commanded the front-line, intending to end the battle of the royal capital perfectly and capture the royal capital with as few losses as possible!
"There are many secret rooms in the palace that only the king of the steel capital knows, and there are treasures in the royal capital."
"In addition, the buildings of the royal palace are also very old and may have hidden knowledge of witchcraft, so they can be destroyed as much as possible."
General Babu was half-crouching, looking at the map of the palace with both eyes and touching his cheeks, and said:
"The most troublesome thing is that there is a huge group of underground palaces in the royal palace, which is rumored to be the tomb of the first king of the royal family, if the enemy retreats to these places......"
General Babu quietly looked outside the city wall, in the direction where Xiao Yu was.
He knew that this was the hottest place, the underground labyrinth, and the protectors of the kingdom were limited by their size, so they couldn't help, so they could only rely on their own army to fill it with human lives.
For a while, General Babu and other senior officers, who were accustomed to fighting in the back of the battlefield, were a little unaccustomed to it.
