The Pride of the Brook Family

Everybody in Sisilia knew that the Brook family was filthy rich.

But Liang Lidong didn't expect that the Brook family was so rich. Fences made of gold surrounded the manor in a dazzling golden light. What was even more outrageous was that the two main roads in the manor were actually paved with gold bricks. It was so dazzling that one would be blinded at first glance.

Even the boss of a coal mine would have to admit defeat at such an extravagant and nouveau riche.

Liang Lidong had been to Sisilia several times in the game, or he wouldn't have remembered the magic waymarks here. He remembered that the Brook family in the game was a thrifty and low-key family. How did they become like this after three hundred years? It was such a huge change.

Although the glittering fence looked tempting, and many people wanted to steal some, nobody dared to do so, because hundreds of elite troops were stationed near the manor.

Liang Lidong and Emma were stopped at the gate of the manor … The guard, who was slightly arrogant, asked them to show their invitation politely.

Naturally, the two of them did not have such a thing. Liang Lidong told the guard about the cavalry's invitation. The guard asked the two of them to wait for a moment and then returned to the manor to report. Not long after, he came out and very politely let the two of them in.

Walking on the path of the manor that was paved with gold bricks, Emma had an interesting expression on her face. She was also a noble, and she didn't think much of the behavior of such a nouveau riche. But in any case, the glittering wealth was right in front of them, and it was presented in an almost barbaric way. However ungraceful the behavior of the other party was, it was still shocking.

Especially when they walked on the gold path and estimated the value of the gold, the numbers they got would always make people thirsty.

Liang Lidong, on the other hand, didn't feel much. After all, he had seen Goddess Woking's paradise. Any floating platform made of pure gold there was much larger than the entire manor of the Brook family.

There weren't many servants in the manor, but they all had arrogance on their faces, just like the gold that could be seen everywhere. That was how they behaved.

If it weren't for the fact that both Liang Lidong and Emma were spellcasters, they might have shown their arrogance on their faces.

Large amounts of gold and impetuous servants. Liang Lidong already knew why someone wanted to kill the two female Elves. Shifting the blame to the City of Sisilia, a large amount of wealth in itself was a sin, and the Brook Family, who displayed these sins in front of the world, would be finished sooner or later.

Thinking about it this way, the Brook family had too many enemies. As long as someone was interested in their family's wealth, it was highly possible that they would be tricked.

The Brook family didn't live in the castle. They didn't need that kind of thing. Large amounts of wealth could bring great power. On the way, Liang Lidong saw many professionals, but these professionals were actually just servants.

Hundreds of years of heritage was indeed not that simple. No wonder the Brook Family dared to use gold to make fences, and no wonder they dared to use gold bricks to pave the roads. It turned out that great strength brought great confidence.

But sometimes, being overconfident was just being arrogant.

The Brook family's villa was a luxurious four-story wooden building. It didn't take up much space, only about three hundred square meters at most. However, the tiles on the roof were actually made of crystal, and the house itself was made of superior coldwood. The transparent crystal and the platinum coldwood formed a strange sense of beauty.

However, Emma was a Holy Lady of the Church of Storm after all. After all, she was a noble and had seen the world. By the time she reached the door of the villa, her expression had already returned to normal. After all, she had seen such scenes in the illusions of prophecy multiple times, and she had developed some resistance to it.

A middle-aged butler stood at the door. He invited the two of them in and asked them to take off their shoes.

Behind the door was a white carpet made of rare animal skins, and on top of these carpets, there were many people. Above the carpet were pieces of golden furniture … All the furniture in this family was made of gold.

The middle-aged butler invited Liang Lidong and Emma to the second floor and then closed the door and left.

Naturally, all the furniture in the study was made of pure gold too.

Behind the golden desk sat a fat old man … He looked at Emma with amazement in his eyes, but there wasn't much greed in them. Perhaps he didn't show the lust in his heart. After all, big shots of this level had already trained their skin to be thick. It was almost impossible to see through their true intentions from their faces.

"Mr. Beta, and … Her Highness the Holy Lady of the Church of Storm!" The old fat man stood up. "Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Izza, the leader of the Brook Family."

Once a person was fat, it was hard to tell their temperament, or even their vibe. The old fat man was very fair. Liang Lidong estimated that he must be above fifty, but he only looked like a middle-aged man.

Liang Lidong and Emma slightly bowed.

Then, Liang Lidong asked, "Why did you summon us, Mr. Izza?"

"First of all, thank you for your help. You put in a good word for our family in front of Nature's Wrath." Izza bowed again to express his gratitude. Then he continued, "If it weren't for you, I think our family would've suffered heavy losses. Everybody knows that Nature's Wrath won't stop until it achieves its goal. "

He clapped his hands, and two brawny men came in with a big box. The box landed on the ground with a dull sound.

"Here are two thousand gold coins. It's just a small token." Izza smiled. "I know this is nothing compared to what you have done for me. But this is a token of my gratitude. Please accept it."

Izza was a good talker. It was pleasant to hear. Liang Lidong didn't quite understand why a person who understood the ways of the world would reveal his wealth. Didn't he understand that the more wealth he had, the more enemies he would attract?

But Liang Lidong didn't care about other people's business. He looked at the box and said, "We don't care about the gold coins. But there's a piece of armor in the Brook family's treasury. Can you give it to us?"

Izza was stunned. He asked back, "What kind of armor?"

Emma stepped forward and described, "It's a white armor. It looks like crystal, but it's actually made of steel. There's also a flame emblem on the chest. "

Izza thought for a while and seemed to remember what the armor was. He said awkwardly, "We do have such an armor in the Brook family, but it's our family heirloom. We can't sell it or give it away."

"A straightforward person doesn't beat around the bush." Liang Lidong smiled. "We know who the real owner of the armor is. Your family can only look after it for us. If you don't plan to give it to us or sell it to us, we might use some unnecessary methods after a while. "

Most of the time, threats would only have the opposite effect. But Liang Lidong's threat was different. Because of his "Noble Temperament," he spoke casually, but it was very shocking. More importantly, the Brook family had just recovered from the shadow of Nature's Wrath, and Nature's Wrath left because of this young man. Izza wouldn't dare to attack Liang Lidong right now even if he was ten times bolder.

Of course, he didn't look too good at this moment.

But for a qualified noble, dignity was something that could be thrown away when necessary. Izza was gloomy for less than five seconds. Then he laughed heartily. "Sure, no problem. I can give you the armor, but you have to do something for me in return. "

Liang Lidong made a gesture. "Please."

"The two elves on the street died too strangely. I suspect that they were used against the Brook family," said Izza angrily. Izza said with some anger, "It's because of this that Sisilia has become like this. If we want to rebuild this place and restore it to its previous prosperity, it won't be possible without a few years."

"The Brook family can't take it lying down. I want you to help me find out which organization or force killed the two elves. Tell me when you find them, and the Brook family will take revenge ourselves. After everything is over, not only will I give you the armor, but the two thousand gold coins will also be yours. "

It was a pretty good reward. Also, Liang Lidong saw the system notification:

Help the Brook family find the real culprit who set them up. The target is still in Sisilia. Leave in four days. If the mission can't be completed in four days, the mission will fail.

The Elite Quest he had completed yesterday had given Liang Lidong nearly half of the EXP he needed to reach his current level. This quest was an Important Quest, and although it was a lower level than the Elite Quest, it would still give him a lot of EXP.

Liang Lidong naturally wouldn't give up any chance to complete the mission. He answered, "No problem, but you better be prepared. I have a feeling that the organization that set you up this time is very powerful."

Izza nodded. "I understand."

After that, they left the Brook family. When they walked through the glittering path of the manor again, Liang Lidong wanted to take the gold bricks with him, but he gave up in the end. After all, these gold bricks have owners. "

After leaving the manor, Emma asked, "Mr. Beta, why should we help him? We still have a lot of things to do ourselves."

"I have to agree." Liang Lidong sighed. "I thought that there wouldn't be a war here. I have a lot of ways to make money, but because of the riots in the city, all the capable chefs have gone to big restaurants to be chefs. It's not easy to make money from other businesses."

Just as the two were about to walk out of Brook's manor, a young man appeared at the door. He was wearing square sleeves and said, "Take those two down. Try not to hurt the women."
