The alleys extending in all directions are like a maze, connecting the edge of the lower town of Tobesk and the university district. Walking along the alleys, when you turn the corner, you will see a steam pipe that has been broken for some reason and is leaking water.
For the safety of my boots, I bypassed the puddle. Then I continued walking forward, and soon I saw the rusty metal stairs climbing on the outside of the dark yellow wall.
I walked up the metal stairs to the second floor and felt that the whole staircase was shaking.
After knocking on the door, he said to the door:
"I was introduced by Cuckoo. She said the book from last time had quality issues."
"She always said that our books have quality problems and that this woman is too picky."
A muffled sound came from the door. After opening the door, a man with bare arms and an anchor tattoo on his arm led Shade into the corridor. Shade followed him and held his breath. This guy had
Very strong body odor.
"Do you know the rules?"
"I don't know, I just came to Tobesk from other places."
Shade said while holding back his voice.
"So what do you want to do here? Buy books at the library, or sell books on consignment?"
"Buy books."
Because I was holding my breath, I spoke in a muffled voice. Fortunately, my voice was not right when I was wearing a mask, so the other party probably didn't notice.
"Okay, let's go this way."
The floor in the corridor was turned up in many places due to moisture, and it made a squeaking sound when stepped on. The doors on both sides of the corridor were all closed, and it was unknown whether anyone was there.
The man led Shade to turn left in front of the corridor and arranged for him to enter a small room that was temporarily unoccupied and wait.
This room is unusually dark, with no windows, and the air smells like... canned fish. Little Mia will probably like it here. The space is not as big as the bathing area of the bathroom at No. 6 St. Teresa Square.
There was only one sofa inside, and a small square hole was cut into the wall opposite the sofa, and the hole was covered by wooden boards.
On the wall on one side of the small hole was a rusty black iron gas lamp. The man leading the way turned on the lamp, letting the dim yellow light barely illuminate the room, then closed the door and left.
Shade sat on the relatively clean sofa and waited for a while, looking at the oil painting of the Hanged Man hanging on the wall. The originally straight gas lamp tube went around the painting and then connected to the gas lamp. Shade was there
I'm thinking about why the gas pipes are not placed higher so that they don't have to go around at right angles.
The wooden cover was suddenly opened, startling Shade.
An impatient man's voice came from behind the shutter:
"What do you want to buy? Is there a specific title, or is it just a request?"
The man had a distinct local Tobesk accent, and judging from his voice, he was probably in his thirties. However, the light was dim and could not illuminate the space behind the cover. But as the cover was opened, the smell of canned fish became stronger.
Apparently the speaker was eating just now.
"About [Gluttony] Thaumaturgy."
Shade said simply, pretending to have an accent that was not local to Tobesk. This was very simple, because he was really not a local.
"[Gluttony]? Wait."
Then there was no sound from the man, and the only sound that could be heard was the constant turning of pages from behind the cave entrance.
[Gluttony] is also not a rare spiritual rune, it is even quite common. But the common [Gluttony] is mostly enlightenment or whispering runes, especially the black iron-colored whispering [Gluttony], read about those disappeared Fourth Age cannibals
There is a high probability of getting it in tribal stories. Relatively speaking, the silver blasphemous [Gluttony] rune related to the evil god rarely appears.
"Yes, what price do you want?"
It took at least ten minutes for the man's voice to sound. Shade knew that there was no bargaining here, so he had no intention of hiding it:
"Just about fifteen pounds, no more than twenty pounds."
This is the answer given after considering your own financial situation.
The man did not answer, but scribbled something in the space behind the shutter. The sound sounded like he was using a pen. But what he put on the wall of the cave entrance was a note and a pencil. When items are traded here, it is not
The item name will be spoken to prevent item information from being leaked.
A total of two magic arts were scrawled on the note. It seems that Xia De's price is too low.
The two miraculous powers are "Parkinson's Gluttony" and "Full Food".
As you can tell from the naming method, the former is a newly developed thaumaturgy in recent years, and it is most likely spread from the three major thaumaturgy academies. Its function is to impose the "Gluttony" state on a certain target, making it available for a certain period of time.
He is extremely eager to eat. For ordinary people, doing this will most likely cause the opponent to die. For a ring warlock, the effect will depend on the level difference between the two parties and many other factors.
This is a thaumaturgy that was consigned to the Black Raven Library. The other party offered a price of 14 pounds and 3 shillings, and did not provide materials for learning thaumaturgy. In addition to [Gluttony] and related spiritual runes, the learning requirements must also be enlightenment or
Whispering spiritual runes.
Even if you buy Shade, you can't learn it.
"Food for fullness" is a thaumaturgy that can only work on oneself, and the effect is relatively complicated. The user needs to set some kind of edible item as a target for himself after using the thaumaturgy, and set it at intervals.
For ten minutes, eat four times in a row, and each time eat more of this item than the last time. Make sure you are full after the last meal.
When the four times are over and the "satisfying food" effect is satisfied, you can use this magic trick to make the selected target food into a food that can achieve a "satisfying" state in one bite. It is not just about psychological satiety.
, and it also satisfies the physiological eating requirements. More importantly, eating the target "satisfying food" has a therapeutic effect, but no matter what effect it is, it is only effective for thaumaturgy users.
And if you want to change the target food, you must go through at least a complete moon phase cycle.
This thaumaturgy is also sold on consignment in the library, because the food produced can only work on itself, and the effect is not very outstanding, so the price is very low, only 9 pounds and 7 shillings. And if the buyer wants to get
For study materials, you will need to pay £11.
To learn this thaumaturgy, the only way to learn this magic is to use profane silver spirit runes related to [food], and Shade is just right for that.
"But will it be useful if I learn this thaumaturgy?"
He asked himself, and then thought it was very useful. Not only could he save money for food, but if he was injured during the day, he did not have to use [False Immortality] to carry it off. More importantly, even at night, thaumaturgy [
The effect of "Cindia's Silver Moon Gift" is also more towards mental healing, and "Satiating Food" can slightly make up for this flaw, but unfortunately the therapeutic effect of this thaumaturgy is not obvious.
【This is not necessarily true.】
A whispering voice sounded from the bottom of my heart.
"Why?"
Shade asked in his mind, but on the surface he still looked hesitant and thinking.
[Your gluttony does not come from contact with the remaining power of the evil god, but a part of the power that nearly devours the god. This spiritual rune is different from the normal blasphemous rune and is very powerful. Add the divine afterglow state and learn it from it.
Thaumatology will probably be very powerful.】
The special Shad of [Gluttony] can also be felt, because as long as the life ring is summoned, [Gluttony] will flash with silver spiritual light, which is a manifestation that occurs when ordinary spiritual runes are in effect.
