Jiang Qin was a pay-to-win player. She only cared about her character looking good in games, and simply put, she played games for nothing.
Then, she closed her eyes and reopened them, finding...
Jiang Jin stopped and even stepped back a little. She was standing near the row of bookcases near the window and finally found something wrong.
There was a small round hole here, and the wind blew in, making a humming sound. It should be a vacuum inside, and there was a book in it. The pages of the book happened to be blown by the wind, and the sound startled Jiang Jin.
Who would put a book in such a secluded place?
Jiang Jin's eyes flashed. She nodded to signal Daisy and Bella to move away, and drew a circle in the center of the bookcase with her wand.
"Boom!" A burst of light burst out from the tip of the magic wand, and Jiang Jinwei opened a circular hole in the bookcase.
With a snap, the wood chips fell to the ground, and Jiang Jin finally saw the book hidden inside.
A book with the three big words "Timothy" printed on the cover was fixed in the bookcase by a simple magic, quietly and motionlessly.
"Timothy, the name sounds familiar." Jiang Jin read out the name written on the book softly, completely unaware of the surprised expressions on the faces of the two maids behind her.
"Your Majesty, the God of Light, I hereby declare that Timothy's City Lord token and power as City Lord will be revoked. I will also strip Timothy of his noble status and sentence him to...death!"
This sentence surfaced in Jiang Jin's memory, and Jiang Jin suddenly clapped her hands and remembered, "The previous city lord who was executed!?"
Timothy is he?! He's been around for nearly two decades, and surprisingly, he didn't leave a single written record. Finally coming across some information about him, Jiang Jin's eyes lit up.
She reached out to take the book, but Daisy behind her hurriedly called out, "Lord City Lord! That man is unclean! Let me get it for you."
Daisy's words were full of disdain and disgust towards Timothy. Bella beside her didn't say anything, but nodded in agreement. It was obvious what a bad impression the previous city lord had left on them.
Under the strong request of the two maids, although Jiang Jin did not believe it, she could not bear the serious expressions of Daisy and Bella about her plans, so she shrugged her shoulders and stepped aside.
Daisy saluted and stepped forward. She took a deep breath, mustered her courage, and as if determined to die, she reached out her trembling hand to grab the book, then tugged hard to pull it off.
But Daisy overestimated herself and underestimated Timothy.
Daisy grabbed the book with all her strength, her face getting redder and redder. It seemed that she was using all her strength, but the thin book in the bookcase didn't move at all.
Daisy struggled for a long time, pulling with her hands and kicking with her legs, but it was useless. Bella couldn't bear it anymore, so she pushed Daisy away, shook her strong arms, and said, "You don't have enough strength, let me do it."
"You'd better be careful. Maybe the previous city lord wrote some curse into the book." After saying that, Daisy rubbed her sore arm and retreated unwillingly.
Bella was also very ferocious when she got on top of him, but it was the same old thing, just pulling and tugging, which was totally useless.
Little Lucas, lying in Jiang Jin's arms, tilted his head and watched for a long time. He found it amusing and stretched out his chubby little hands towards the book. He leaned forward and whispered in Jiang Jin's ear, "Jiang Jiang, I want to play with that."
Lucas' voice was soft and sticky, with the nasal tone unique to children. The breath he exhaled hit Jiang Jin's cheek, making her feel numb and tingling, and instantly gave Jiang Jin goose bumps all over her body.
Moreover, this guy knew Jiang Jin's weaknesses very well. After he finished speaking, he put his little hands in front of her, folded his palms together, showed a shy smile, and looked at Jiang Jin with his big beautiful eyes blinking.
Who can stand this? Jiang Jin definitely can't stand it!
The little guy is at the active age. He wants to touch and play with everything he sees. It’s no big deal, Jiang Jinpo comforted herself.
To ensure safety, Jiang Jin specially used magic to test it and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the book. It was just cast under a confinement spell. Only then did she feel at ease to take Lucas over there.
Bella was panting and holding onto the bookcase. She saw little Lucas put one arm around Jiang Jin's neck and reached out to grab the book with the other hand. With an easy pull, he pulled down most of the things inside along with the wooden cabinet. The wood chips fell down with a rustling sound, which made Bella and Daisy stunned.
"I'll get it!" Lucas was so happy that he shook his body and asked Jiang Jin for credit.
He had only gained a little experience, but his strength was already so great that he could destroy the imprisonment spell. Jiang Jin couldn't imagine what kind of qualitative change his abilities would undergo when little Lucas grew up to be an upright adult.
"Jiang Jiang!" Lucas saw Jiang Jin distracted, with a pouty face, looking very unhappy. He grabbed the book and patted his belly from time to time.
Jiang Jin reacted immediately and quickly placed a deep kiss on his round and cute little face! With a clear "bo" sound, she said, "Lucas is really too cute!"
"How amazing! You got it." Jiang Jin tapped his little nose to express her surprise and admiration.
Little Lucas still had a gloomy look on his face, and Jiang Jin knew something bad was going to happen. She reacted too slowly and made the child feel wronged!
Without saying a word, Jiang Jin held Lucas's little face and kissed him with her left and right arms, and did this four or five times in a row. Only then did the expression on Lucas's little face relax and he giggled non-stop.
"Phew, that was close." Jiang Jin touched the non-existent sweat on her head and let out a deep breath.
There is no problem in this world that cannot be solved by one kiss. If there is, then two kisses will do.
Jiang Jin coaxed Lucas and took the book in her hands. When she opened the first page, she saw eleven big characters written inside: "Brooke wants to kill me. I want to escape."
These eleven short characters immediately brought up a picture in Jiang Jin's mind.
She ignored Lucas who kept trying to get into her arms, handed it to Daisy, and flipped through the book quickly.
It is called a book, but it is actually Timothy's diary.
He was a fallen nobleman, a lean camel was still bigger than a horse, and his family was quite wealthy.
When he came to Alicante, he really wanted to do something big and use Alicante as a springboard to jump back to the capital.
Unfortunately, he believed Brook's sweet words and handed over all his wealth to Brook.
He placed his hopes on Brook to successfully transform the city of Alicante, and spent his days not caring about other things, dreaming of returning to the capital.
But there will always be a day when you wake up from a beautiful dream.
