Luo Yi, who was old and long, was already a little hunchbacked, but Luo Yi bent his back even more and bowed sincerely to apologize.

It's as if a group of middle-aged people are bullying an elderly person.

Maybe he didn't expect Luo Yi to apologize so solemnly, the fat man and the ministers present were also a little stunned, and stopped making noise.

"Uh...... It's okay, it's okay! I don't blame you, it's okay to go up to the second floor, but don't interfere with our business anymore. ”

"Thank you very much for your understanding."

Luo Yi nodded again, and asked Instant to take the kidnapped children upstairs with him.

The female villagers who were bullied threw their eyes for help to Instant, but Instant still ignored the eyes of the female villagers with expressionless faces.

On the way to the stairs, one of the ministers fell in love with Instant's figure and face, and stared at Instant's ass without shyness.

Instantly felt a wave of nausea, and glared back viciously.

When Instant passed by the minister, the minister quickly stretched out his salty pig hand and touched Instant's buttocks.

Instant did not shout in a panic, but glared at the perverted minister, and warned sternly:

"Please watch your manners."

Obviously, the minister did not want to admit his guilt, and began to brazenly ask the ministers present:

"Hey, did anyone see me messing around with this girl?"

The ministers present immediately burst into laughter, and ridiculed the insulting words such as being too suspicious and too narcissistic.

"Little girl, it's very sad for you to misunderstand me like this, so it's better to do this! You can stay on the first floor and play with us. ”

"Yes, yes, come here, let Uncle Ben take good care of you!"

The ministers gathered around Instant, and tried to violate Instant's body.

For the first time, he didn't fight back immediately, but glanced at Luo Yi first.

It was a look of consent seeking.

Luo Yi didn't say anything, just nodded, and then walked up to the second floor with the black shadow.

Instantly nodded respectfully in Luo Yi's direction, and began to manipulate the shadow.

The ministers did not realize that the crisis was coming, and only the female villagers on the side screamed in horror.

As soon as they heard the screams of the female villagers, the ministers looked behind them.

I saw a group of black shadows silently appearing behind the ministers, grabbing the hands of each minister.

The strong grip and coercion made all the ministers unable to break free, and could only struggle in place.

A sharp and fierce look flashed, and the black shadow began to increase its strength.

What followed was a series of crisp and loud "pop" sounds and terrifying cries.

The serial screams were incessant, and the instantaneous and intense pain caused the ministers to roll their eyes one after another and faint.

The female villagers witnessed the whole torture in horror, and each curled up in the corner, avoiding the moment, and looked at the seemingly cold and ruthless moment with frightened eyes.

Obviously, he was the savior who saved them, but instead of a little thanks, he got a look at the monster's eyes.

This is the curse, the terrible price to pay for gaining great power.

She looked at these female villagers expressionlessly, and after saying "You can leave", she retracted the black shadow and walked up to the second floor alone.

Recalling those pairs of frightened eyes, my calm heart has long been accustomed to it, and I have long been no longer hungry for anything in return.

Is the curse-like ability good or bad......

Messy pile of books, strong smell of book covers, and scattered dust.

The bookhouse located under the castle of the Heavenly Snake Clan, there is no bookcase, but the books are stacked in a stack and placed everywhere at random.

The space where you can walk is cramped by the piles of books, and there are unidentified insects crawling everywhere from time to time, and the environment is very bad.

The only advantage is that there is a large stock of books and a low repetition rate.

Dasis carried a brick lamp and took the Wu to confirm the books one by one.

There are many kinds of books, in addition to the magic and history books that Wu wants, there are also books about alchemy, magic, and finance...... and all kinds of books, which made Wu's long-dormant heart a little excited.

Obviously, I didn't like to read books the most, but since I was possessed by gluttony, I have become more curious about unknown knowledge.

"Thank you, Darcis, I think that's enough."

"Where, do you remember the way back to your room?"

"Yes, yes."

"In that case, I'll leave first."

"Okay."

Daxis handed the lantern to Wu and turned to leave.

I can't resist the desire for knowledge in my heart. He picked up the lantern as if he were burning, and carefully selected the book, intending to savor it.

Wu's elite gaze quickly swept over the messy pile of books, and he didn't forget to hold the heavier and heavier books in both hands.

After a while, Wu's face was also obscured by the towering pile of books.

Kindness...... It seems like I've taken too much, so let's read these first.

Holding the crumbling pile of books, Wu found a relatively empty place, stacked the books on the ground, and sat on the ground with his butt down, ready to start reading the books.

However, a familiar male voice suddenly came from beside him, startling Wu.

"Isn't this Master Fortes!?"

Because it was too dark, Wu Xuan picked up the lantern and looked at it fixedly.

The person next to him was none other than the Celestial Serpent Clan's guard, Douglas, the guard who chatted with him along the way that day.

Douglas didn't expect Fortis to be beside him, put down the book in his hand in horror, and kowtowed to Wu in a panic.

The space was so small, Douglas's movements made the space even more crowded, and in desperation, Wu asked him to calm down.

"Douglas, don't be so reserved, you can sit and read."

"Uh...... Okay, I'm sorry. ”

Although it was not surprising to see Douglas in the open library, now is the time for the Celestial Snake Clan to train, why is Douglas here?

"Douglas, isn't it practice time? Why are you reading here? ”

"I'm ashamed to say that the little ones are not born with magical qualifications, so Lord Kurt allowed them to move freely. Because I like to read books about history, I come to the library to read whenever I have a little free time. ”

These words sounded ordinary to Douglas's mouth, and it seemed that he had accepted this fact early on.

But Wu soon heard that something was wrong.

Douglas doesn't know magic?

This is completely impossible in the wizarding world, every creature should be born with elements, if there are no elements, they can't survive, then what is in Douglas's body?

Wu originally wanted to ask clearly, but looking at Douglas's lonely eyes, he didn't ask any more.

"I see, but you just mentioned that you like history, is that true?"

A burst of lonely eyes immediately lifted the spirit, becoming active and energetic.

"Eun, yes! Especially for the world outside the Staven Plains, the little ones have always wanted to see the scenery outside the Staven Plains, but the reality is always cruel, and the little ones can only live a dry life from books, and it's really stupid, hahaha......"

The world beyond the Staphen Plains......

Being mentioned by Douglas like this, he really didn't want to see the country and environment other than Stephen with his own eyes.

The Oriental people we have known before are also countries that live outside the Staven Plains - whether it is language, habits, manners... etc., are very different from us.

Now that I think about it, I suddenly feel a little curious about the outside world.

"The world beyond the plains is indeed a very interesting mystery......"

Wu muttered thoughtfully.

"Huh? What are you talking about, my lord? ”

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, let's read!"

"Ugh! Yes, sir! ”

Well, I'm going to help Douglas see why he can't do magic. As a thank you for giving me a new idea.

During the night, Itri was in the chamber sorting through all the assets of the Celestial Serpent and Fish-People.

I have to say that Etri is really capable, cooking and housework, and is very good at planning and controlling finance and resources, which is also one of the advantages of Etri.

In the empty conference hall, there is only the scattered sound of flipping books, and the cool breeze blows outside from time to time, accompanied by the faint smell of rain, which is full of refreshing effect.

The ceramic teacup is steaming hot, and the light scent of tea makes Itri feel refreshed.

In contrast to the exhilarating spirits, Etri prefers bland coarse teas.

At this time, there was an irregular sound of stomping feet outside the hall from time to time, so that even Itri, who was kneeling indoors, could feel it.

Curious, she opened the sliding door and looked in, and found Chio restlessly walking back and forth in the hallway.

The dignified and elegant face is anxious, and the well-dressed makeup is ruined by irritability.

Puzzled, Itri turned to look at the guards outside the door.

The two guards were also very troubled, and it seemed that they were completely out of touch with the thousand tails in front of them.

"Uh...... Miss Chiao, what's wrong with her? ”

"Report to Lord Eater, Lord Chio has been circling around here since just now, and even if you ask the adult, the adult will not tell us."

What does this menopausal old woman want......

In desperation, Itri walked over to Chiao's side and patted her on the shoulder to get her attention.

Chio immediately gave an impatient look and glared at Itri to the side.

"What?"

Chio replied very unhappily, his whole face collapsed, and all his worries were written on his face.

"You're stepping on the floor like this, it's going to make me unable to concentrate on my work......"

"Could it be my fault?"

Uh, it's your fault......

Itri also knew that the woman in front of her was more difficult than anyone else, and if she didn't let Forts deal with it, I'm afraid no one would be able to cure her.

"It's going to be noisy when you talk outside, so why don't you come into the conference hall and talk about it."

"En......"

Although Chiao looked reluctant, he still entered the conference hall honestly.

It was the first time for Chio to enter the conference hall, and she curiously observed her surroundings, using her aura to explore this strange space.

After letting down his guard, Chio lay on the ground without saying a word and began to cry.

Yes, it's really just crying, not even a second in between.

Although Mr. Forts had warned himself that Miss Chio was a man with a lot of ups and downs, that was an exaggeration.

Helpless, Itri had no choice but to pretend to be calm and walked to the tea cabinet, made a cup of tea for Chiao, and was ready to listen to the large number of complaints.

Editri placed the hot tea on the table and sat back down.

"That...... Chio-san, can you tell me what happened to you? ”

I saw Chiao's excited mallet hitting the floor, and kept complaining:

"Why hasn't Master Forts been with the little girl lately!!!"

Ah—it has something to do with Mr. Fortes......

This damn is really annoying enough! I really admire Fortes' tolerance.

Of course, I could have quarreled with her all night, but there are still many things to do now, and I don't have time to talk nonsense with her.

It seems that I still have to reason with her and be moved by affection.

"Miss Chio, it's going to be a war lately, so of course Mr. Forts doesn't have any free time......"

"Damn, it's just a swarm of ants, something that can be destroyed with just a finger, why deprive me of my sweet time with Master Fortes!!!"

The grief and indignation became louder and louder, and even the guards of the Celestial Snake Clan outside the door came in to take care of them.

It's so late, I'm afraid that this noise will disturb the people in the other rooms, so I have to appease her as soon as possible.

Really, am I her best friend?

"Chio-sama! Don't get excited, Mr. Forts doesn't hate you, don't be so desperate! ”

"Really?"

Chio looked at Itri with a handful of snot and tears, and her makeup was completely ruined.

It's a pity that with such a beautiful face and delicate figure, her personality is so unstable, it really makes Itri speechless.

Itri motioned to the guards outside the door with her eyes to tell them not to worry, and continued to persuade Chiao:

"You can put a hundred hearts, after the war is over, Mr. Forts will have more time with you, so you can bear with it first."

"Is the war over......"

Seeing that Chiao had finally calmed down a little, Itri also relieved herself and smiled slightly.

However, Chiao made a different move.

I saw her slowly walk out of the window, her right foot slowly raised and stepped on the window frame, ready to jump out of the window.

Itri failed to comprehend Chiao's demeanor in time, which made her ask curiously:

"Huh? Chio-san, where are you going? ”

"Of course, we want this war to end as soon as possible."

Shocked when she heard this, Itri hurriedly got up and tried to hug Chiao, who was acting impulsively.

Unfortunately, the distance is too far, even if you rush to full speed, it is too late.

If you can't hold it, then just use the strongest magic - dissuasion magic!

Itri took a deep breath and shouted:

"Chio-sama! If you rush to war now, you will definitely mess up Lord Fortes's plans, and your time with Mr. Fortes will be even more precarious! ”

As soon as these words came out, although Chio did not turn around, his entire body seemed to be completely frozen as if time had paused.

Dissuasion magic has proven to work well.

Very good, just take advantage of the victory and chase it!

"Chiao-sama! If you really want to get along with Mr. Forts as soon as possible, I can help—"

Itri pretended to play a long note mysteriously, arousing Chio's interest.

This crucial sentence succeeded in convincing Chiao.

She teleported to Itri at lightning speed, asking "Really".

The change of face was so fast that Itri almost choked on her own saliva.

"Ahem, ahem...... That's true, but first you have to sit well and don't make noise. ”

"Hmph, there's really no way, just trust you, a low-level creature."

Miss Chio is crazy, isn't she...... What do you say about the lower creatures of the same human beings?

But in order to ensure that she doesn't do anything crazy, let's not quarrel with her yet.

Itri picked up one of the stacks of scrolls on the table and handed it to Chio.

"Alright, Chio-san, please help me check the information here......"

"Is it here? Piece of cake! ”

In this way, two incompatible women rarely live in the same room, and deal with the copywriting peacefully.

And outside the crack in the door of the hall, there was a pair of bright eyes staring at the two of them.

Seeing that Chio calmed down, the sliding door also quietly closed.

"It's really dangerous, but it's good that Itri stopped Miss Chiao, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."

Beama said relaxedly, and slowly left the door where the meeting was listening.

However, Kurt did not panic at all.

Calm, he stood in the corridor from beginning to end, not peeking at Chiao's condition, but happily teasing the guards outside the door.

"Chiao is such an impulsive person, so Master Fords has never been able to put his mind at ease."

"But Mr. Kurt, why do you keep spying on Miss Chiao?"

"Because Lord Fortes had already expected that Chio would do something terrible, he ordered the little one to observe Chio at all times."

"Really...... Mr. Forts is really good......"

"That's nature."

Kurt touched the cheek of the blushing guard and slowly left.

Looking at Kurt's departing back, Beama only chuckled and walked to his room.

The next morning, the stack of books in the stack had been emptied, but it was transferred to Wu's side.

Piles of books surrounded Wu's figure. Because of gluttony, Wu Wu, who didn't need to sleep, stayed up all night and seriously absorbed the knowledge in the book.

Thanks to gluttony, I can absorb knowledge very quickly and without any barriers to understanding.

These books may seem shabby, but they convey content that has long surpassed all the lessons learned in the palace before, and it also completes the knowledge that has been missed due to playfulness.

Wu closed the last book with satisfaction, stretched his waist without any sense of exhaustion, and looked at the stacks of books around him.

For the first time in my life, I felt that reading was such a happy thing.

He stood up, glanced at the empty seat next to him, and saw that Douglas had long since left, and he didn't notice it.

"Well, it's almost time to leave."

When Wu walked out of the basement, Kurt was standing straight at the exit of the basement, waiting for him.

"Master Fortes, are you satisfied with the book?"

"Yes, I'm very satisfied."

"It's so happy to see that you can be so satisfied!"

Kurt bowed respectfully, his tone full of adoration and joy.

Although I have long been accustomed to the attitude of the gods towards me, to be honest, I still don't like this feeling.
