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.
...
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.
