Although there was no fire yet in the Effia Grand Library, the choking smoke had already spread through the gaps.
"Director Grates, please leave quickly!" In the main hall of the library, a hurried wizard apprentice came nervously and found the old man with white hair and shawl standing in the middle.
"Where are the city guards and the manpower from several nearby noble estates? This is the Alfea Library. Are they really willing to die without saving their lives?"
When the old curator Grates saw that only the wizard apprentice had arrived, his face was full of pain and disappointment. He shouted loudly: "Didn't you tell them that I will stay here forever?"
"I told you, curator...but there's nothing they can do!" The wizard apprentice explained anxiously: "Those useless city guards have long since run away, and the noble guards have also been recruited to go to the city gate."
"Old curator, listen to my advice and leave. Those big nobles have actually left the royal capital long ago!"
"Even my teacher sent a message to me to get out of the city as soon as possible!"
"Teacher!" Hearing the wizard apprentice say this, other students also walked over and looked at the old curator.
"You... you can leave if you want." After breathing in a low voice, the old library director continued: "But I will not leave. I am the director of the Alfia Grand Library. I will not leave."
Abandoning his own library."
"I will be here, watching, waiting..."
After the old library director finished speaking in a firm tone, he ignored the stunned wizard apprentice and turned to ask other staff members, hoping that they could take away the most classic works from the Great Library before leaving.
He hopes to live and die with the library, but knowledge...should not be cut off along with it.
"Scholars, preaching, teaching, and solving doubts. You must remember this lesson well so that you can make progress and provide further possibilities for future generations."
The old librarian's tone was low, and his students all had red eyes, wishing they could stay with the old librarian and live and die with the library.
The old curator seemed to understand what they were thinking, and quickly comforted them a few words, and then urged them to leave quickly to avoid inhaling the smoke.
Suddenly, drops of liquid dripped from the cracks in the roof into the hall.
"Great! It's raining!" A young student who looked like a child jumped up happily.
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 so happy that they ran outside and were completely drenched by the heavy rain.
"This isn't rain, it's the giant putting out the fire!"
The sorcerer's apprentice had a keener perception. He jumped to the skylight high up and took a quick look and saw the tall giant holding a strange container to extinguish the flames.
"Since we are putting out the fire, it seems that the giant will not wantonly destroy the Effia Library. Phew...as long as the library is fine, I can give an explanation to Teacher Mafa."
The wizard apprentice thought this way, and just when he felt that the weight on his shoulders was much lighter, he suddenly smelled an indescribable smell permeating the library.
What does this taste like!
The wizard apprentice looked at the door in bewilderment, where several people who had turned into drowned rats also had strange faces.
A young man was grinning and spitting, as if he wanted to spit out all the rainwater he drank in his mouth.
After the initial excitement passed, it was obvious that these young people also noticed something was wrong with the rain.
How should I put it, although you won’t be poisoned even if you drink it, the taste is just too weird!
This rainwater smells so good!
"Well……"
Even the old scholar-like old curator frowned when he smelled the smell of rainwater.
Before he could figure out what to do, the door to the library opened, and a beautiful girl with twin tails and an eager expression on her face shouted:
"Everyone, please move the books out of there quickly. Lots of water has broken through the ceiling and flowed into the library!"
"What!" Everyone was shocked and rushed in to carry the books.
None of them expected that the Great Library escaped fire but encountered a flood.
Fortunately, the flood came from that terrifying giant, and it only took a while. Although most of the books were splashed and wet, they were still usable after being taken out to dry.
Even...these books have become very, very interesting.
After Xiao Yu poured out all the liquid in the kettle, he checked the surrounding area and made sure that there were no embers before turning back to the city gate.
He had been careful to guard against sneak attacks by wizards, but in fact he was too cautious.
After Xiao Yu killed the blazing fire phoenix with a fire-extinguishing brick, all the extraordinary wizards in the royal capital, large and small, scrambled to stay away from the royal capital.
As for the promise to Grand Duke Yanan?
Haha, wizards don’t do business at a loss!
What's more, this terrifying giant must be rated as at least a second-level extraordinary monster. First-level wizards like them don't dare to die!
As the Black Fairy reinforcements were gradually eliminated, the more than 100,000 troops in the Royal Capital were surrounded outside the city wall by the army led by the King of Steel, Enric.
However, the only entrance into the city was occupied by Xiao Yu, a terrifying being.
After the senior generals and extraordinary beings were killed one by one by the local dog Dahuang, the remaining people who were unable to advance or retreat began to kneel on the ground one by one and chose to surrender.
General Babu knew that Xiao Yu did not want to fight in the royal capital personally, so he found the mercenaries and noble private troops in the surrendered army.
After breaking them up and mixing them up, he promised them various benefits and gave each of them a bag of sugar as an advance bonus.
Immediately, these approximately 17,000 fresh troops were arranged beside the legionnaires, and together they followed the city gate and entered the royal capital.
At this moment, there was not much resistance in the royal capital. The few places that existed were easily solved under the suppression of extraordinary barbarians.
At the end, only the palace where Grand Duke Yanan lived had not been captured, but it was also surrounded by a large army.
Stay until lunch time.
After Xiao Yu saw the army successfully entering the city and occupying an open space in the city and dragging the trebuchets in, he retreated to the electric tricycle and heated up a self-heating meal of twice-cooked pork for himself, preparing to have lunch.
While Xiao Yu was eating, General Babu personally came to the front line to command, planning to end the battle of the royal capital perfectly and capture the royal capital with as little loss as possible!
"There are many secret rooms in the palace that only the King of Steel City knows about, and they contain the treasures of the Royal Capital."
"In addition, many of the buildings in the palace have a long history and may contain knowledge of witchcraft. Try not to destroy them if possible."
General Babu squatted half-crouched, looking at the palace map with his eyes and stroking his beard:
"The most troublesome thing is that there are huge underground palaces in the palace, which are rumored to be the tombs of the royal family's ancestors. If the enemy retreats to these places..."
General Babu quietly looked outside the city wall in the direction of Xiao Yu.
He knew that this was the most difficult place, the underground labyrinth. The Kingdom's protector was limited in size and could not help. He could only rely on his own army to fill it with human lives.
