Noble Emblem

Liang Lidong nodded. Generally speaking, every local noble would have a dedicated historian to record important events in the territory. If the shield sealing array is really here, maybe we can find some clues from the territory records.

Emma thought for a while and said: "Well, there are indeed many previous records in the library in the backyard of the castle, so how about we go and take a look now?"

Liang Lidong nodded.

Kyle, who was eating white bread, swallowed a piece of bread with a big gulp. When he was about to go together, Alice suddenly pinched him and shook her head secretly at him.

Kyle was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and said quickly: "You two, go ahead. Alice and I will go out for a walk. Isnes is a big city after all. Now that we are here, why not go for a walk?" .”

Emma smiled gratefully at Kyle, then took Liang Lidong's hand and walked to the backyard.

Alice watched the two of them leave, and then she looked at Kyle with a slight blush on her face: "Well, let's go out for a walk too."

No matter how dull Kyle was, he could still feel Alice's affection for him. From the aristocratic level, it is normal for a male noble to have one wife and two or three lovers, but he feels that he cannot betray Babara. After all, Babara is also very good to him, and he likes her very much. .

It's just that Alice only has a crush on him and has not officially expressed her love to him. Even if Kyle wants to refuse, he can't find a suitable opportunity.

This is where Alice is smart. I like you, but I just don't confess. I get close to you from time to time, but keep a sufficient distance so that you can't find a reason to drive me away.

Kyle looked at the smiling Alice for a while, and finally stood up. I went shopping with the half-elf girl to increase my favorability.

It has to be said that most of women’s IQ is focused on the emotional technology tree.

On the other side, Liang Lidong and Emma walked to the backyard of the castle, where a three-story building stood. Before they even got close, a strong smell of parchment came over them.

"Although my library is not big, there are a lot of books in it." Emma said proudly: "Since I was ten years old, I have spent most of the money in the castle on buying books, and then every year Nearly 60% of the tax revenue is spent on searching and purchasing books. Although I dare not say that my collection of books is the largest, it can at least surprise you."

Liang Lidong smiled and said: "Then I will visit it."

This library looks very ordinary from the outside, no different from the large stone buildings of ordinary rich people. But after entering, you can see rows of bookshelves about thirteen meters high in the room.

Although only the first few rows of bookshelves are filled with books, most of the bookshelves in the back are empty. But even if the number of books in the first few rows of bookshelves adds up, there are probably more than a thousand books.

Such a number of books, let alone ordinary nobles, can probably be found in a family that has existed for more than a thousand years.

It's not that they don't have money to buy books, but books are very precious items and few people sell them. And I don’t like outsiders watching and studying my own books, so in this world. Knowledge does not ‘circulate’.

Therefore, people who grew up in the information age simply do not understand how important books and knowledge are in this world.

The Kyle family can be considered a wealthy family, but before he met Liang Lidong, he could barely read. Not to mention learning the knowledge and skills of professionals.

In any case, with so many books, one can imagine how much Emma spent. Liang Lidong even guessed that she used her dual identities as a princess and a saint to achieve this.

"How about it, not bad." In front of a row of bookshelves. Emma asked proudly: "Isn't my library pretty good?"

"Your collection of books is almost as good as the Blue Magic Tower." Liang Lidong complimented.

Although in terms of quantity, Emma's library is almost comparable to the book collection of the Blue Magic Tower, but in terms of quality... it is definitely far behind.

After all, the Blue Magic Tower has a history of several thousand years. Although there are only about two hundred books in the collection, the books that are eligible to be placed in the Book Magic Tower are all fine works. In comparison, Emma Many of the books in the hastily built library must be duplicitous.

But even so, it is indeed remarkable that Emma can build such a library in just a few years.

After receiving Liang Lidong's approval, Emma was very happy. She said: "This is just my library, and the history books are still underground. After all, it is very important information, so it must be kept well."

The two walked to the left side of the library, where there was a downward staircase leading to the basement, where the dry cellar used to preserve territorial history books was located.

But as soon as they got there, the two of them saw a man standing at the entrance.

It's Joseph!

Liang Lidong raised his eyebrows, feeling quite amused. He probably knew what the butler's purpose was for staying here at this time.

As expected, Joseph watched the two people arrive, and he said slowly: "Miss, if you want to go down and check the previous information, please be sure to ask me to accompany you. After all, there are many historical books there and only I know where they are and how to find them."

Emma had a bit of disappointment on her face. After all, she preferred to be alone with Liang Lidong, but Joseph made sense, so she could only nod in agreement.

The three of them walked down the stairs together, with the two men walking almost side by side. When Emma wasn't paying attention, Joseph suddenly smiled at Liang Lidong, with an expression that seemed to say: I have seen through your plan. , don’t do this again.

Liang Lidong sighed in his heart. Joseph seemed to have decided that he had bad intentions towards Emma. Although he didn't care much about other people's opinions, he was still a little depressed when he was targeted in this way.

He ignored Joseph, which made Joseph's complacent expression empty and made the latter very unhappy.

When she got down to the cellar, Emma finally noticed that the atmosphere between the two men behind her seemed a bit dull, so she asked doubtfully: "What's wrong with you?"

Joseph had a 'ghost' in his mind, so he smiled and said: "There's nothing wrong, miss."

Emma looked at Yossel in confusion. Her female intuition told her that there must be some little things between the two of them that they were hiding from her, but since the other party was unwilling to tell her, she didn't bother to ask.

The cellar wasn't too big, but it was filled with books.

Because a special magic circle is set up here to preserve books, these books look brand new and do not look like they have been preserved for hundreds of years.

"Miss, do you want to check the history books of that period?" Joseph asked.

Emma looked at Liang Lidong.

Liang Lidong said: "Three hundred years ago, from this point of view, it was best to read books from the first ten years and the next ten years."

Joseph frowned. He saw that Emma's appearance was obviously centered on Beta. As someone who has been around for decades, he knew very well that only girls would look like this when they are in love.

He secretly screamed that something was wrong, but there was no expression on his face.

As a housekeeper, he naturally had a clear understanding of the arrangement of books in the cellar. He quickly dug out two history books made of parchment from the stack of books and handed them into Emma's hands.

Emma held two history books and asked with some confusion: "So few?"

Joseph smiled and said: "Our city of Esnes is close to the royal city, and it is not an important city, so there are no major events to record. It is not bad that the trivial matters in ten years can be compiled into two history books."

Emma sighed, then she handed one of the books to Lidong Lidong and said, "I hope I can find something out of it."

The two began to open the books. The history books in Liang Lidong's hands recorded many trivial matters. Liang Lidong rummaged through the books but could not find anything noteworthy. But the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Emma quickly finished flipping through the history book in her hand, and said, "I didn't find any clues worth noting here. Where are you?"

"It's not recorded in the book." Liang Lidong turned the book to the middle, and then pulled it open with more force: "But there is a page missing here, it was torn out, and the front and back text were modified by others, but the editor It wasn’t careful enough and some evidence was left behind.”

"Where?" Emma put her little head over.

"Here!" Liang Lidong enlarged the page of the history book.

Emma finally saw that there was indeed a little scrap of paper left in the book, and she said with admiration: "You are so thoughtful and can pay attention to such a small place!"

Liang Lidong smiled bitterly in his heart. This was actually not his fault, but the function of the system prompt. The book in his hand has been marked as a "modified history book" by the system, and it even issued an elite mission.

Elite mission: Find the person who modified this history book.

Joseph was not far away, watching his young lady and Beta getting very close to each other, almost touching each other. His eyebrows trembled. If it weren't for the butler's quality controlling his emotions, he would definitely do it. Beat that young man Beta.

Of course, he knew whether he could beat him or not, but that didn't stop him from thinking about it in his mind.

Fortunately, Emma left Liang Lidong soon. She took the history book and asked Joseph: "Go and check for me when this book was revised."

Liang Lidong said from the side: "No need to check, the modification time was about nine years ago."

"That was not long after I came here." Emma paused, and then she looked at Liang Lidong in surprise: "How do you know so clearly?"

It was included in the introduction to the task of modifying the time. Of course, Liang Lidong couldn't tell this, so he could only say with shame: "I have expertise in this area."

"But these books are kept in a magic circle. Logically speaking, they should be as good as new. Can you tell?" Emma stared at Liang Lidong, her beautiful eyes full of doubts, but soon she He smiled and said, "Well, it must be your special bloodline ability again. Since this book has been modified, how should we get back its lost content?"

Liang Lidong stretched out his finger and said: "Two methods, one is to find someone who knows the magic of time reshaping, and the second is to find someone who can modify it." (To be continued.)
