บท 190: Altered
Liang Lidong nodded. Generally speaking, every local noble would have a special historian to record the important events in their territory. If the Seal Shield Formation was really here, perhaps he could find some clues from the records of the territory.
Emma thought for a moment and said, "Well, there are indeed a lot of old records in the library in the backyard of the castle. Shall we go and take a look now?"
Liang Lidong nodded.
Kail, who was eating white bread, was about to say that they should go together, when Alice suddenly pinched him and shook her head at him.
After a brief stun, Kail realized what was going on and said, "You two go ahead. Alice and I will take a walk outside. Isnas is a big city after all. Now that we're here, we have to take a look."
Emma smiled at Kail gratefully and took Liang Lidong's hand to the backyard.
Alice watched the two of them leave. Then, with a blush on her face, she looked at Kyle and said, "Well, let's go for a walk too."
As slow as Kail was, he could sense that Alice liked him. From a noble perspective, it was normal for a male noble to have a wife and two or three lovers. However, he felt that he couldn't betray Barbara. After all, Barbara was very good to him, and he liked her very much.
However, Alice only liked him and hadn't formally confessed her love for him. Kail couldn't find a suitable opportunity to refuse her even if he wanted to.
That was why Alice was so smart. I like you, but I won't confess. I'll get close to you now and then, but I'll keep enough distance so that you can't find a reason to drive me away.
Looking at Alice who was smiling for a while, Kail finally stood up. He went shopping with the half-elf girl to increase his fondness for her.
It had to be said that most women's IQ was on the tree of emotional technology.
On the other side, Liang Lidong and Emma walked to the backyard of the castle. There was a three-story building here. They could smell the thick smell of parchment before they got close.
"Although my library isn't that big. But there are a lot of books inside. " Emma said proudly, "Since I was ten years old, I've spent most of the castle's money on books. Every year, nearly sixty percent of the taxes are used to search for and buy books. Although I dare not say that I have the most books, at least it's enough to surprise you."
Liang Lidong smiled and said, "Then I'll take a look around."
The library looked very ordinary from the outside, no different from the large stone buildings of the rich. However, after entering, there were rows of bookshelves about 13 meters tall placed in the room.
Although only the first few shelves were filled with books, most of the shelves at the back were empty. But even the number of books on the first few shelves added up to about a thousand books.
Not to mention ordinary nobles, even aristocratic families with more than a thousand years of history would probably have the same amount of books.
It wasn't that they didn't have the money to buy books, but books were very precious objects, and very few people would sell them. Moreover, they didn't like outsiders reading and learning from their own books. Knowledge does not 'circulate.'
Therefore, people who grew up in the information age did not understand how important books and knowledge were in this world.
Kail's family was considered wealthy, but before he met Liang Lidong, he could barely read. Not to mention learning the knowledge and skills of a professional.
Regardless, one could imagine how much money Emma had spent on so many books. Liang Lidong even guessed that she had used both her identity as a princess and a saintess to achieve this.
"How is it? Not bad, right?" Emma asked proudly, "My library isn't bad, right?"
"Your collection of books is almost as good as the Blue Magic Tower," complimented Liang Lidong.
Although in terms of quantity, Emma's library was comparable to the Blue Magic Tower's, in terms of quality … it was definitely far inferior.
After all, the Blue Magic Tower had thousands of years of history. Although it only had about two hundred books, the books that were qualified to be placed in the Book Magic Tower were all excellent works. In comparison, many of the books in Emma's library, which was built in a hurry, were definitely of inferior quality.
Even so, it was quite impressive that Emma could build such a library in just a few years.
Emma was very happy after receiving Liang Lidong's affirmation. She said, "This is only my library. The history books are still underground. After all, they are very important information, so I have to take good care of them. "
They walked to the left side of the library, where there was a staircase leading to the basement. The dry cellar used to store the territory's history books was here.
But as soon as they reached there, they saw a man standing at the entrance.
It was Joseph!
Liang Lidong raised an eyebrow, rather amused. He had a rough idea of why the butler was here.
As expected, Joseph looked at the two of them and said slowly, "Miss, if you want to go down and look up the information of the past, please let me accompany you. After all, there are many history books there. Only I know where they are and how to find them."
Emma looked a little disappointed. After all, she preferred to be alone with Liang Lidong. But Joseph's words were very reasonable, so she could only nod in agreement.
The three of them walked down the stairs together, the two men walking almost side by side behind. When Emma wasn't paying attention, Joseph suddenly smiled at Liang Lidong. His expression seemed to say: I've already seen through your plan, don't try this again.
Liang Lidong sighed inwardly. It seemed that Joseph had already determined that he had bad intentions towards Emma. Although he didn't care too much about other people's opinions, being targeted like this still made him feel a little depressed.
He ignored Joseph, which made Joseph's smug expression fall through. The latter was also very displeased.
When they reached the cellar, Emma finally noticed that the atmosphere between the two men behind her was a little gloomy. Puzzled, she asked, "What's wrong?"
Joseph had a 'guilty conscience' in his heart, so he smiled and said, "Nothing, miss."
Emma looked at Joseph doubtfully. Her female instincts told her that the two of them were hiding something from her, but since they weren't willing to talk about it, she couldn't be bothered to ask.
The cellar wasn't too big, but it was filled with books.
Because there was a magical formation set up to preserve books, the books all looked brand new. They didn't look like they had been preserved for hundreds of years.
"Miss, do you want to look up the history books of that period?" Joseph asked.
Emma looked at Liang Lidong.
"300 years ago," Liang Lidong said. "With that as a starting point, it's best to look at the books from the first and last ten years."
Joseph frowned. He could tell from Emma's expression that Beta was the center of her attention. As someone who had been through this for decades, he knew very well that only girls would act like this when they were in love.
He cursed inwardly, but his face was expressionless.
As the butler, he naturally knew the arrangement of the books in the cellar. Soon, he found two history books made of parchment and handed them to Emma.
Emma held the two history books and asked in confusion, "So few?"
Joseph smiled and said, "Isnas is close to the capital, and it's not an important city, so there aren't many major events to record. It's not bad that the trifling matters of the past ten years can be gathered into two history books. "
Emma sighed and handed one of the books to Liang Lidong. "Let's hope we can find something in it."
The two of them started to flip through the books. The history book in Liang Lidong's hands recorded many trivial matters. Liang Lidong flipped through the books but didn't find anything noteworthy. However, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Emma quickly flipped through the history book in her hands and said, "I didn't find anything noteworthy here. What about you? "
"It's not recorded in the book." Liang Lidong flipped to the middle of the book and tore it open. "But there's a page missing here. Someone tore it off. The front and the back were also edited, but the person wasn't careful enough and left behind some evidence."
"Where?" Emma moved her little head closer.
"Here!" Liang Lidong pulled the page of the history book a little wider.
Emma finally saw some scraps of paper left in the book. She said in admiration, "You're actually so meticulous. You can even notice such a small place!"
Liang Lidong smiled bitterly in his heart. This was actually not his work, but the effect of the system notification. The book in his hands had already been marked as' Edited History Book 'by the system, and even an elite mission had been unlocked.
Elite Mission: Find the person who edited this history book.
Joseph wasn't far away, and when he saw his young mistress and Beta getting so close to each other that their bodies were almost touching, his eyebrows trembled. If it weren't for his stewardship controlling his emotions, he definitely would've given that young Beta a good beating.
Of course, he knew whether he could beat him or not, but that did not stop him from thinking about it.
Fortunately, Emma quickly left Liang Lidong. She took the history book and asked Joseph, "Help me check when this book was edited."
"No need to check. The time of the edit was about nine years ago," Liang Lidong said.
"That was not long after I came here." Emma paused and then looked at Liang Lidong in surprise. "How do you know so clearly?"
The time of the edit was in the description of the mission. Of course, Liang Lidong could not say this, so he could only thicken his skin and say, "I'm good in this area."
"But these books were preserved in the magic circle. Logically speaking, they should be as good as new. How can you tell that?" Emma stared at Liang Lidong, her beautiful eyes full of doubt. But she quickly smiled. "Alright, it must be your special bloodline ability. Since this book has been edited, how should we find the lost content?"
Liang Lidong stretched out his finger and said: "There are two methods, one is to find someone who understands the magic of time restoration, and the second is to find someone who can modify it."
