Chapter 1,068 Collector Mr. Booker

Miss Danister was quietly thinking about which relic she could get her hands on, but most of these relics had already been lost:

"Some of them can indeed be borrowed, but I have to wait until I return to the academy before I can contact the owners of those relics. However, I know from the Zhengshen Church that the secret keeper's trial involves finding Huang Yue.

That is to say, maybe there are similar relics in Tobesk."

She said softly, and Shade pretended not to understand because he shouldn't have been there at the time:

"If it can be found in Tobesk, then you still need to look for the relics. I will wait for your good news."

"Yes, no problem. It is easier to find specific relics than to find core runes. After all, the information is there. Even if we can't find it in Tobesk, we will have other relics to choose from when we return to the academy.

I still have some respect in the material world."

She stood up:

"Mr. Hamilton, no, let me call you Shade. Shade, I think the secret of [Silver Moon Library] will be revealed to us soon, and I will not forget your contribution. In addition, in recent weeks, the city has

Something big may happen, so you must be careful during this time.”

"no problem."

Shade stood up and said, sending Miss Danister downstairs.

But before the sorceress left, he took out a small crystal cylindrical bottle about the size of a quarter of a little finger. This bottle was specially customized by Shade for Old John, and it contained a liquid with dots of light:

"Miss Denister, I give this to you as a year-end gift."

He held out the small bottle in the hall.

"There is still half a month until the end of the year. Moreover, the college has clear regulations that prohibit professors from accepting gifts from correspondence students."

Although she said this, she still took the small bottle, held it between her two white fingers, and shook it in front of her eyes with an incredulous look.

"this is......"

The fingers of her right hand glowed with red moonlight. When the moonlight came into contact with the liquid, the originally nearly transparent liquid also reflected the red light representing the moon.

Miss Danister in the foyer looked at Shade in surprise:

"Is this moonlight water? The essence of the moon that can only be formed naturally in a specific location after thousands of years?"

"Yes, you recognized it? That's amazing."

Shade nodded immediately.

But he didn't need thousands of years. The amount of "Moonlight Water" in the crystal container, which was about a quarter of the volume of his little finger, could be produced on a night with sufficient moonlight.

"Even by the standards of a year-end gift, this is a bit too precious."

She shook the small bottle, hesitated, and handed it to Shade again:

"This is too precious, and you need it more than me. I will give you a formula for a potion. You can find a pharmacist you trust enough to help prepare it. The potion can greatly increase your ability to control the power of the moonlight.

Perception is increased permanently, which is very useful for low-level warlocks like you."

"No, no, I actually kept some for myself, so just accept this...you can give me the formula."

Shade said with a smile, and Miss Daniste also had a smile on her face. She took back the bottle and put it in her skirt:

"I'll have someone bring it to you tomorrow, Shade, you're very good."

Shade opened the door, and the librarian lady walked into the snowy St. Teresa Square, waved to him, then turned around and disappeared into the night.

"Is this considered a bribe?"

When Shade closed the door and was about to go upstairs again, he saw Luvia standing at the corner of the stairs and looking at him with a smile, obviously having heard the conversation just now.

"Bribery? No, no, how can this be considered a bribe? It's just a gift to deepen my friendship with the school officials, which will be very helpful in the future."

Shade bent down and picked up the cat on the steps, and walked towards Luvia at the top of the stairs:

"And the point of this matter is not what I gave, but what Miss Danist accepted... Are you done with your work?"

"Of course not, but now that the planetarium is automatically recording data, I will come down to see you. I will probably be busy very late tonight."

After saying that, he glanced at Sha De, his eyes clearly wanting Sha De to say something.

Then Shade coughed:

"Then don't go back, just stay here for the night. Although it's not snowing outside, you know the road is not easy to walk at night. MI6 was looking for the missing girl yesterday."

The purple-eyed girl showed a faint smile and walked upstairs with Shade:

"Tell me about the missing girl from MI6. You can tell me slowly."

(Little Mia is running...)

It can be foreseen that the ceremony of the selected candidates will begin, probably after Sir Prisha returned to Huntingdon with the visiting delegation. In order to prevent the candidate qualifications from falling into the hands of the second-ranked Miss Pavo, this time, Lu

Via does not intend to deal with Sir Prisha in advance.

On Monday morning, after giving the crystal ball taken out of the gift box to Luvia, and accepting the task of scrubbing the glass inside the bedroom before the weekend, Shade set out for the door of the Natural Church in the east of the city and Pulsha.

Jazz Rendezvous.

The relic that Sir invited Shade to take in yesterday was a clerical relic ["The Book of Fools"], but its more widely circulated name is "The Book Invisible to Idiots". Judging from the officially recorded names,

It is difficult to infer the characteristics of the book, but the widely circulated name illustrates the specific function of the book——

"The Book of Fools" is a book without any text, but once someone observes the inner pages, knowledge will appear on it. The smarter the person, the more useful content he can see.

; And the more stupid a person is, the less knowledge they will see. This book is said to have been written by an ancient prophet from the Fourth Age. Most of the knowledge in it is rumored to be related to that prophet.

.

This book is only rated as clerical grade because a large number of people really cannot see any text in this book, and those who can see the text in this book cannot see the content.

Most of them are not very dangerous.

Because in the eyes of most people, this is a wordless book, that's why it is named "The Book of Fools", implying that most people are actually fools. But the negative characteristic of this book is that it makes it smart Sometimes people will fall directly into irreversible madness after reading this book, and then become completely crazy.

Therefore, "The Book of Fools" also means that people who can see the contents are actually the real fools. After all, given the danger of this book, not reading it is actually the behavior of a truly smart person.

The "Book of Fools" is currently in the hands of Mr. Booker, a stingy private collector in the East District of Tobesk. He runs a club and a library. The library adopts a membership system common in this era and pays a certain amount every month. You have to pay a fee to enter the library to read books, and you need to pay additional fees to copy and take away books.

If it were just like this, Sir Prisha himself could have taken the book away, but according to his investigation, Mr. Booker had been affected by the "Book of Fools" and even possessed some weird powers because of it.

For the sake of safety, he would ask Sha De to act together. After all, when collecting relics, you can never be too careful. Even if it is a clerical relic, once it gets out of control and encounters a suitable scene, even if it is a Thirteen Rings Warlocks may also find this difficult.

Mr. Booker is a forty-three-year-old middle-aged man with semi-bald hair, a sturdy build, and wearing glasses. Sir Prisha has made an appointment in advance, so the two of them can directly enter the library this early morning. Inside.

There is a special reception room in the library, and Mr. Booker entertained the two of them in the reception room. This well-off man has many servants, and hot tea and snacks were brought to them soon after everyone sat down.

When introducing himself and shaking hands, Shade also sensed that Mr. Booker did have traces of the whispering element. If he was a ring wizard, this would not be surprising, but for ordinary people, this often means big trouble.

For the holders of the "Book of Fools", it is impossible for them to voluntarily hand over the book, especially now that Mr. Booker has gained "power" from the book, so he came to collect the relics The two of them need some small means.

The reason for Sir Priscilla's appointment was to purchase another book. After chatting with Mr. Booker for a while and signing the book purchase agreement, he suddenly asked:

"Mr. Booker, you also know that I am a foreigner from the United Kingdom of Carson, and I will return to China next week. I wonder if I have the opportunity to visit your private collection? I admire your The reputation has been around for a long time.”

A well-known book collector like Mr. Booker will definitely have his own collection. But this time, Mr. Booker just thought about it and nodded in agreement.

On the one hand, this is because the price given by Sir Prisha for purchasing the book is very high, and on the other hand, it is also because the identities of Sir Prisha and Shade are very respectable in the eyes of this ordinary person without a noble title.

The collection room of the library is in the underground area. It looks like it was converted from the basement of a house. To enter the collection room, you need to open a total of two doors and three locks. Among them, the lock of the innermost metal door is using It adopts the most advanced gear piston structure and is controlled by an independent steam pressure system.

Even in the eyes of well-informed outsiders, its technical level is quite amazing.

Of course, these non-mysterious locks are completely worth mentioning in front of the spell [Door Key].

Corresponding to the expensive and exquisite defensive measures are Mr. Booker's priceless collection of books and the magnificent decoration of the collection room like a museum collection room.

He enthusiastically introduced his collection of books to Shade and Sir Pricha one by one, and proudly boasted how many gold pounds each of his collection of books was worth.

Even a person like Shade who knows nothing about books can still know how valuable old books such as "The Glory of the Cavendish Bloodline" and "Crown of Honor: An Appreciation of Ancient Crowns" are.

Of course, his attention was not always on Mr. Booker's collection. The communication with Mr. Booker was mainly done by Sir Pricia. Shade just followed the two of them and quietly put on the ring.

------Digression-----

ps: When entering the Silver Mountains for the first time, Miss Chloe said that there were 19 people in the team. Therefore, in Chapter 1065, the details were changed from "The team has 13 people" to "Due to the influence of the snowy mountains, Miss Chloe only remembered 13 people."

information, others are vague”.

It doesn't affect the direction of the story, it just changes the way of telling it. If you are interested, you can take a look.
