Chapter 157 – 131: Just Let Him Live a Little Longer! (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)

At this time,

in Jenny’s carriage,

with Rein’s meager Arcadian vocabulary, he had only managed to decipher the somewhat blurry inscriptions on the book’s cover, which roughly meant: “Regarding… forging…”

Yes, just these two words, which Rein quickly distinguished.

But Rein was already captivated!

He couldn’t help but be fascinated.

Because this was a book written in Mage-script (Arcadian), and it was related to forging.

Don’t forget, Rein had the Blacksmith profession panel.

Therefore, any method or trick that could potentially swiftly raise his Blacksmith profession level was of extraordinary significance for him—it could be said to be equivalent to an Extraordinary Battle Technique.

Moreover, this was a book on forging written in Arcadian; perhaps there were some unknown mysteries within it.

This made Rein’s thoughts slightly agitated.

Thus, inside the carriage, Rein began to inquire of Jenny about the origins of this book.

“Miss Jenny, did you find this book in your family’s library?”

“Yes, Lord Reine. These past two days, I had nothing to do and stumbled upon it quite by accident while I was browsing through the library.”

“This book seems to have been neglected for a long time. When I found it, it was covered in dust and placed in the most inaccessible corner of the bottom shelf.”

Jenny’s bright eyes looked at Rein, and she could tell he was very interested in the book. So, she elaborated a bit more, albeit somewhat exaggeratedly.

In reality, the book was located on the Crowley family’s most valued ancient manuscripts shelf.

When her father, Baron Crowley, was alive, he valued these rare ancient books greatly, and at that time, Jenny didn’t have the opportunity to access them.

Now, naturally, there was no one to stop her.

Besides, this was the last book related to Mage-script that she could find in her family library.

And why say this?

Obviously, to highlight the depth of her family’s heritage, so that Rein, the Guardian Knight, would pay more attention to the Crowley family and… her!

After listening, Rein’s eyes brightened, and he thought to himself, could it really be chanced upon so casually?

Tsk tsk!

The depth of a noble family’s heritage is truly remarkable!

In that case…

At the same time, a thought popped into Rein’s mind.

He spoke: “That… Miss Jenny. If you have time, could you please properly organize the family’s library? Should there be similar books, do remember to let me take a look at them. Would that be possible?”

Upon hearing this, Jenny was momentarily stunned!

She had merely exaggerated a little bit just now, aiming to highlight the strength of her family’s foundation so that the Guardian Knight would pay more attention to her and her family.

She had not expected Lord Reine to suddenly make such a request.

Was this request excessive?

Of course not!

Jenny’s mind swiftly went to work, and in a flash, an idea struck her!

Right! Her own family might be gone, but she had best friends.

If it came down to it, she would mobilize her best friends to help search. She refused to believe that, in the vast Meister County Town, she couldn’t find a few Mage-script books!

Therefore, Jenny confidently said: “That… of course, no problem!”

“Miss Jenny, I’m really grateful!”

Soon, the group arrived smoothly at Reine’s front door in the carriage.

When Rein helped his mother Emma down from the carriage, the family door suddenly opened, and old Rein and Bo He ran out quickly, their faces a mix of anxiety and joy.

“Lord Reine, I’ll not go in and disturb you then!” Seeing the situation, Jenny naturally would not impose.

Rein guessed that the incident at the church must have spread throughout Flashgold Town an hour before.

Flashgold Town wasn’t large, and such matters naturally spread quickly.

Even old Rein, who had gone to the farms early in the morning, had already rushed back home.

“Emma, are you all right?”

“Momma!” Bo He rushed into her mother Emma’s arms.

After a bit of commiseration, the family’s mood finally stabilized a bit.

After reassuring his father and Bo He, Rein went upstairs.

He took off the battered and tattered Knight’s armor and wiped down his body a bit. Rein then changed into a linen tunic with a cinched waist.

Immediately afterward, he began to search for the other two Mage-script books to find out what those few words on the cover of the book actually meant.

After all, that half-understanding, half-knowing feeling was the most irritating.

It’s like how the saying goes with women, ‘half-concealing the face behind a pipa is most enticing.’

When Rein spent about ten minutes to translate the title of the book, a sense of joy surged in him.

So the title of the ancient book meant: “An Exploration of the Application of Scorching Touch in the Realm of Forging.” Read new chapters at m

However, a question lingered in Rein’s mind: What exactly was this ‘Scorching Touch’?

Was it some kind of witchcraft? Or a special artifact, or maybe some kind of technique?

Before Rein could continue to the next page for research, “knock knock knock,” the sound of knocking came.

The youthful voice of Bo He called out: “Brother, someone is downstairs, looking for you.”

“All right, Bo He, I’m coming right down.”

Clearly, an attack had just taken place in Flashgold Town, and Rein, as the Deputy Marshal, still had a lot to handle, so this wasn’t a good time for research.

As Rein went downstairs and saw a fellow Night Watchman colleague, he heard him report: “Lord Reine, several nobles, including Knight Lloyd, have come from the church. They wish to invite you over.”
