Generally speaking, people who liked to hurt themselves had a tendency to destroy themselves mentally. However, as a spellcaster, Liang Lidong could sense the mental state of most people or professionals who were weaker than him.
Although Izza's spiritual power was a bit chaotic, it wasn't to the extent that he had a mental problem. This kind of fluctuation was within the range of normal people.
Even if Izza was a normal person, why would he attract the wrath of Nature and destroy his territory and home?
Liang Lidong was very curious, but his question made Izza very embarrassed.
Izza no longer had the smile and calmness from before. He said lightly, "Sir, what you said is a bit strange. As the local lord, how could I do such a thing and attract the wrath of Nature?"
Liang Lidong snorted and said, "I was only talking about your eldest son, Lance, not you. Or, did the city lord admit that you killed those elves? They died such a horrible death. Not only were they bullied, but their bodies were even left naked on the street after they died. This is too despicable. "
Izza slammed the table and said angrily, "Beta, you've gone too far."
The lord of Sisilia was a person with real power. He thought that he had given these two a lot of face, but he didn't expect that they would directly turn the situation around and put the truth in front of him.
This kind of person didn't look like a noble at all. He didn't have the elegance of a noble at all. How could such a thing be brought to the stage? However, his intuition told him that the hateful young man in front of him was indeed a noble.
This was the biggest characteristic of the divine nobles. Even if others couldn't find out where Liang Lidong came from, they would still think that he was a noble. This was the benefit of being a divine noble.
Liang Lidong wasn't a real noble. He didn't have the pride and persistence of a noble, nor did he have the hypocrisy and arrogance of a noble. However, others still thought that he was indeed a noble. Also, they could feel the pressure from his aura.
Therefore, sometimes Liang Lidong's behavior was very contradictory.
Moreover, Liang Lidong was a player … What were players? They were people who would flip the table and destroy the whole chessboard when they were in a bad mood.
When players had first entered the game, they had underestimated the NPCs. However, players came from the Information Age. Once they adjusted their mindset, the NPCs would be the ones to suffer.
This was especially true in the middle and later stages of the game when the players had great strength. Once they discovered that they had been tricked by a noble, they would act wildly. Even if they had to sacrifice themselves, they would mess up the NPCs' plans.
This kind of attitude was common to all players. Anyway, they wouldn't really die in the game. How good would it be to use the price of reduced experience points in exchange for a clear mind?
After playing the game for eight years, Liang Lidong was used to this method. Even though he only had one life in this world, he did not want to be played by anyone like a chess piece.
Since Izza dared to trick him, he should be prepared to be tricked by Izza.
Liang Lidong looked at him and smiled gently, but there was a hint of mockery in it, as if he was looking at a law enforcement officer and a liar.
"That's too much. Compared to what you did last night, what I did is not too much at all." Liang Lidong stood up. "I really don't understand why you played with fire. You asked me to investigate you. Then you set a trap for me. No matter what, I played a part in Nature's Wrath's departure … Or rather, Nature's Wrath's departure affected your plan, so you vented your anger on me? "
"That's just what you came up with." Izza chuckled coldly. "Now, get out of here. Sisilia doesn't welcome you anymore. "
"We've completed our mission." Liang Lidong tossed out a scroll from his spatial bag, and a pale yellow magic barrier immediately isolated the room from the outside world. "That's why we need to get our bounty."
Izza looked at the magic barrier around him, and his expression became very subtle. "Are you really going against the Brook family?"
"I don't care why you want to destroy Sisilia." Liang Lidong still had that annoying expression. "But our mission has been completed. That's the truth. If you're not willing to pay, then we'll have to do something."
Izza laughed coldly. "The Brook family will not be threatened. Don't tell me you still dare to fight me! "
Emma shook her head helplessly. She now had a little understanding of Beta's character. Although he looked like a very gentle person on the surface, he was actually a very gentle person, but once his bottom line was crossed, the situation would not be too good.
She touched her teeth. They were almost back! She remembered that Beta had knocked out a few of her teeth with one punch without saying anything. What Izar was doing now was many times worse than what she had done, and he still dared to provoke her. It seemed like he would not have a good ending.
As expected, Liang Lidong walked forward and kicked Izza with his knee. The kick made Izza bend his body … The intense pain made him hold his stomach with both hands, and he almost sat on the ground.
But it was not over yet. Liang Lidong walked over, grabbed his hair, and pulled him up. He slammed Izza's head on the table. After a loud bang, the white wooden table with golden patterns splashed a pool of blood.
Emma blinked her beautiful eyes. From the sound she heard, Izza's nose must have been broken, and he must have lost a few of his front teeth. He was much worse than her.
After a while, Izza raised his head, covered his bloody face with both hands, and howled in pain.
Liang Lidong took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands. Izza's hair was very greasy, and it was very disgusting to touch.
The light yellow magic barrier was soundproof, so the people outside did not know what was happening inside. They thought that their master was discussing important secrets with the guests.
Looking at Izza rolling on the ground in pain, Liang Lidong did not feel any sympathy at all.
Not to mention the two female Elves who were killed one after another and left naked on the street, just the sight of the skinned Elves in the basement was enough for the players to kill Izza several times in a row.
Izza's voice was a bit noisy, so Liang Lidong walked over and stepped on Izar's back. He said, "Stop screaming. If you scream again, I'll cut off your tongue. "
Izza took a few deep breaths. His tears and blood mixed together, but there was a terrifying light in his eyes. He said, "How dare you attack me? Don't even think about leaving Brook's manor."
"The place has been plowed by Nature's Wrath. They don't have much combat power left. How can they stop us? " Liang Lidong stepped on Izza's left hand and broke his index finger. While Izza was screaming in pain, Liang Lidong said, "Don't think that you're invincible just because you have some money and power. In this world, strength speaks louder. I was going to follow the rules, but you don't. But if you don't follow the rules, I don't need to play the polite game with you. "
"Brook is a noble. Whether you kill me or not, you're dead. We're going to put you all on the wanted list." Because his index finger was broken, Brook's forehead was covered in cold sweat. "Storm Saintess, are you going to let this lunatic abuse a noble?"
Emma tilted her head and put on a weird expression. "Huh? Who's talking to me? I can't see anything. I can't hear anything! "
Seeing Emma's devilish smile, Izza looked at Liang Lidong angrily. "Alright, you're good. Beta, what do you want?"
"Two thousand gold coins and that armor." Liang Lidong took out the Faux Emperor Fallen Sword from his backpack. "If you take us to get it, I can consider letting you go. But if you don't, this sword will stab into your heart. As for the wanted list … With our strength, we'll be accepted in any country. No matter which country he went to, someone would take him in. If worse came to worst, he could go to the neutral Red Dragon City or a medium-sized country like Hollevin. There's really nothing special about it. Do you think we're scared? "
Izar shivered. He had to admit that Liang Lidong was right.
"Then how do I know that you'll let me go after you get it?"
"I never make promises. If you take us there, you can live. If you don't take us there. You won't live more than five minutes. " Liang Lidong pointed his sword at Izza's crotch. "But killing you might be too easy on you. What do you think about cutting off your momentum?"
Izza's body stiffened. He was both shocked and angry. "Despicable!"
"I'm nothing compared to you." Liang Lidong's sword was about to reach Izar's crotch.
Emma covered her mouth and laughed. She felt that the scene in front of her was too funny.
Izza looked at the gleaming sword that was about to land on his manhood. He panicked. "Stop! I'll take you there, right now. "
"Why didn't you say that earlier?" Liang Lidong withdrew his sword and waved his hand, dispelling the magic barrier.
The barrier worked both ways. Not only could it block the sound from inside, but it could also block the sound from outside. Thus, they didn't know what was happening outside.
As soon as the barrier was removed, the three people in the room heard a series of battle cries from outside. Liang Lidong walked to the window and saw that there were a few Treants swinging thick and long rock pillars in the manor in the outer garden. The guards who were hit by them did not fly at all, but instead, their bodies were smashed into pieces.
There was also a unicorn that was charging around the crowd. Alice was sitting on it, holding a long spear in both hands. Whenever she encountered someone charging at her, she would stab with her spear … Although her strength was not too strong, she had been strengthened by the Knights of the Round Table system, so she was much stronger than ordinary people. Moreover, her spear technique had been taught by her father, so the angle was very tricky. She was clearly attacking the face, but halfway through, she would strangely change her spear technique to attack the lower three directions.
Grinton had learned this spear skill from a player in the game and paid him a few hundred gold coins.
Kail, on the other hand, was among the Ents. Now and then, he would use Charge as a Hero and knock away the threatening people who were suspected to be professionals.
Actually, with his abilities, he could have a better performance in a battle, but he faithfully carried out the philosophy that Liang Lidong taught him. In a battle, a Warrior's first priority was to protect the spellcasters on his side, and the second was to find opportunities to attack the enemy's weakness.
Alice couldn't have been happier to be protected by Kail.
Seeing the tragedy outside the door, Izza shouted, "Stop! Ask them to stop! I'll take you to the treasure room now."
It was no wonder that Izza was panicking. He saw his eldest son, Lance, his youngest son, Richard, and his daughter, Heidi, in the crowd. They were running frantically, trying to avoid the Ents who were killing crazily.
"Wouldn't it have been better if you had done so earlier?" Liang Lidong chuckled. He pointed at a white ball of light outside the door. Seeing this, Alice and Kail slowly retreated.
When the door opened, Izza saw the middle-aged butler who was panicking out of fear. When the butler saw his master's face covered in blood, he panicked even more.
"What's the rush? Tell the young master and the young lady not to move. Otherwise, no one can guarantee their safety."
The middle-aged butler nodded and ran away.
Izza led the way, while Liang Lidong and Emma followed behind.
Seeing that the enemies had retreated, Lance was worried about his father's safety. He went upstairs and ran into Izza, who was coming down.
He looked at his father's face and clenched his fists. He lowered his voice and roared like an injured leopard, "Beta, you bastard! How dare you hurt my father!"
"What, you have a problem with that?" The Pseudo-Fallen Emperor Sword appeared in Liang Lidong's hand. He put the blade to Izza's neck. "If you say another word, if you dare to follow us here, your father's head will fall to the ground … Or, do you want that to happen?"
Lance's body trembled at these words. He could not care less about his anger. He just put it aside with a pale face.
Izza led the two of them out of the mansion and into the backyard. They met many guards along the way, but none of them dared to help because Liang Lidong's longsword was on Izza's neck.
With a hostage in hand, they did not panic. They entered the basement without any obstructions. Looking at the stone wall slowly closing behind them, Emma exclaimed, "I didn't expect to get the armor so easily this time. In comparison, the method we used to get the armor in the Prophecy Illusory Realm was as stupid as a pig.
"There's no difference. You just didn't let go of it." Liang Lidong smiled. "There's a saying that has been passed down among my people. It roughly translates to this."
"If you want to be a hero, you only need to have courage. But if you want to fight the villains, you have to be smarter and worse than them. Otherwise, you'll only hurt yourself and others. "
Emma stretched her brows: "It's unreasonable...but I like it!"
