Chapter 162: Ch 162: Toward Heaven Supression City
As soon as Rein read the title of the book, he was dumbfounded. Immediately he picked up the book and started to go through it at a very fast pace. He became more and more surprised as he continued reading this book.
That was a large book and obviously it was impossible to finish reading this in a short time but Rein at least was able to check out the main contents of that book. Then he picked up the other books and went through them as well.
After that Rein felt very lucky that no one else showed any interest in those books and did not check them out. Lan's grandfather was truly a crafty person as before running away, he stole some of the most valuable books from that sect.
There were a total of 7 books that was given to Rein. 5 of the books had the technique to cultivate some certain type of skills written in them. Among the two remaining books, one was about alchemy and there were some pill formulas written in them that would be able to boost and enhance a few types of skills.
The last book was even more valuable as in that book the sect had listed the names and locations of several hidden secret realms which could give everyone great rewards upon exploring them.
Seeing Rein's expression, everyone else was a bit surprised. Lan pushed her body against Rein and hugged him. Then she asked Rein about his opinion on the books. Everyone else except the two little kids were also worried about his opinion.
Rein gave them a reassuring smile and started to explain to them the real value of the books to them in a calm voice. As they continued listening to what Rein was saying, instead of becoming happy that the books were way too valuable, they became scared and their faces started to turn paler and paler.
Obviously that was because all the adults here understood the problems associated with something so valuable. If any other sect or big clan knew about this, they would have most probably killed their whole family. The secret about skills that the sects were trying to hide were just that important and sensitive.
Now it was not only Lan who was clinging onto Rein but her mother and father were also doing the same. They tearfully asked Rein for a solution to this massive problem. Rein reassured them that he was going to help them and started to ask them some questions.
Rein needed to know how many other people also knew about the existence of these books and how many of them had seen them. These were the type of questions that Rein was planning to ask them. He needed answers to those questions to find a solution to this problem.
As this family was trying to sell and get rid of these books, quite a few people knew about it. But as almost none of them were interested in the books, the amount of people who had seen it with their own eyes were not a lot of people which was a good thing. But if even a single person had any suspicions about the book, it would be a troublesome situation for Rein and the family.
After learning about everything and thinking for a bit Rein told them about the solution that he came up with. He gave the whole family a proposal after telling them that he was qualified to join the Divine Scale Pavillion. What Rein wanted was for them to join him and to come to the Heaven Supression City.
He wanted to open a shop in the Heaven Supression City and he needed someone trustworthy to run it. Rein had not known these people for long but with his experience he judged them to be very trustworthy. That was the reason why he was proposing this idea to them.
After thinking about this proposal just for a little bit, they all accepted it. There was no reason for them to reject this idea. All of the family members were quite fond of his anyways, so if they were given a chance to work for him, it was obviously a very good news. Rein's capability to join a powerful sect like the Divine Scale Pavillion also played a role in their decision.
Then all of them decided that they would leave the city in three days as the father needed to resign from his work before that and they also needed to pack up things and rent the house, which would take some time. For that duration Rein and Colinde were also going to stay in their house too.
So after that Rein and Lan went to the inn where Rein was staying and cancelled the rooms and took Colinde out. Even though Lan's family was in a tight financial situation, their house was definitely quite big in size, they also had a decently big garden area. This area was perfect for Colinde to practice so she was very happy about it.
Rein decided to hold a feast that night and brought quite a lot of expensive food ingredients. Lan's mother was definitely a very good cook and she turned all the ingredients into super tasty dishes. It had been many years that this family was able to enjoy a fun and luxurious meal, so they devoured everything with tears running down their eyes.
...
Fortunately all the preparations were completed without much trouble. There was only a single person who came to ask them about the books and by telling them that Rein and brought the books from them and that instead of paying them with money, he would be giving the father a job in the Heaven Supression City. That was an envious thing for everyone and all of them congratulated the family.
First Rein and Colinde were planning to just go to the Heaven Supression City by only using their feet but now they had a big family and luggage with them so to make the journey a bit easier Rein booked a horse drawn carriage. This carriage would be taking all seven of them to the Heaven Supression City.
...
As the carriage was going toward their destination at a very high speed, suddenly a road block created using the woods from the nearby forest appeared in front of them. As soon as the carriage was forced to stop, 20 or so men appeared out of nowhere and surrounded the carriage.
Rein and Colinde were the only ones who did not mind this situation at all but the two other ladies were very scared and hugged Rein tightly. Seeing this, it was evident that both of them had a very high trust in Rein's capability.
But Rein did not need to even lift a finger here in this situation as Colinde easily took care of all of them and returned back to her seat as if nothing had happened and she did not just kill over twenty men.
With just this little incident blocking them, Rein and his group were able to reach their destination without much trouble.
