The Voyage of Exchange——Chapter 54: Adventures in the Bookstore
Ryan walked towards the uptown area on the other side of the river. The Wizards' Association and the Explorers' Association were there. There were no bookstores on the east bank, so it would be better to try his luck there.
Perhaps because he was still lucky, Ryan felt some magic flow at the door of a bookstore.
The billboard above the door is made of fine birch wood, and the inside of the bookstore is elegantly decorated, with log tables and chairs for leisurely reading and drinking tea.
There is not even a counter in this bookstore, just two old people drinking tea and reading.
Yao is white-haired but full of energy. Whether by intuition or speculation, one can conclude that one of them is an extraordinary person.
"Oh, there seems to be something exciting here." Ryan's mood finally improved when he was at the door, and most of the shadow of the previous tracking failure was erased.
Ryan felt that the two old men in the room were extraordinary people at first glance, so he adjusted his clothes to make himself less rude. Then, he walked slowly into the bookstore.
But when he walked into the bookstore, Ryan could not hear the sound of the two old men turning over books, and the noise on the street also disappeared, and the two people did not raise their heads to look at him.
Ryan had no choice but to salute the two old men to show respect for the extraordinary and the elderly, and then took a rough look at the types of books in the bookstore.
Let's call the right hand side the leisure area, and the distance between the dozens of bookshelves in the middle and the left hand side is very large. Although the space utilization rate is very low, there are occasional spaces specially used to place potted plants on the bookshelves, and the bookshelf stretches from the potted plants.
The outcropping of rattan or branches and leaves makes the look just right.
Ryan did not see the artifact that sensed the flow of magic power. Perhaps it was just a small device specially designed to attract extraordinary beings who could sense magic power. Other than that, he could not think of any other explanation.
Although there are various types of books in the collection, of course there are no books related to extraordinary beings that can be found in the official classification.
As he passed by, Ryan squinted and glanced at the book names and reading progress of the two old men. The first old man who exuded a tranquil atmosphere had a gardening book in his hand, which was already halfway through. The other one had bright eyes, but
There was no writing on the spine or the pure black cover of the book.
So Ryan continued to shuttle among the bookshelves, looking for similar books with no words on the spine. But after spending some time, he couldn't find them.
Ryan was a little confused, but he knew that if he wanted to find similar books, he would probably have to ask two old men.
Ryan planned to stand next to the two old men and decided to wait for them to rest for a while before asking. When he stepped into the leisure area with this idea, time and space suddenly changed, and his body returned to the place before he had this idea.
The movement of stepping has also become the movement of standing.
Ryan felt as if he had been reset and returned to where he was. Then he decided to find a few books on gardening to compare.
After searching for a long time, I found a few gardening books among life knowledge books, but they looked normal and talked about normal gardening knowledge, but I couldn’t quite understand them, but some of the plants they talked about were
Characteristics may be used to harmonize with nature.
Ryan selected two gardening books to bring to Zate, and then wanted to take a closer look at the potted plants on the bookshelf. They had grown a lot but were neglected to cut back. According to what was said in the gardening book, these dozen potted plants could not even be called
Raise well.
But when Ryan looked at it before, he felt that the vines or branches extending out of the potted plants looked very appropriate, but when viewed up close, they seemed to be neglected. Ryan wanted to try to move the potted plants in the empty space slightly.
Of course, this is just an ordinary potted plant.
Thinking that he needed to bring two romance novels to Sophia, Ryan thought about searching again. Finally, he selected the book, but a thought message appeared in his mind. [Young man, the books here are not for sale.]
[I was abrupt, I'm very sorry.] Ryan opened his mouth, but no sound came out. Unfortunately, the transmission of thoughts was one-way. Then he began to put the books he had pulled out back into place, leaving only one.
Gardening book in hand.
As if he thought of something for a moment, Ryan tried to use the magic power in his body to connect with the books on the bookshelf. But the books were just ordinary books, and the magic power was not absorbed.
Seeing no response, Ryan took the selected gardening book and tried to come to the leisure area again. He found a place to sit and read next to the two old men. He could also chat with them by the way, if possible. Holding his arms.
With a reading mentality, I stepped in this time and there were exactly three tables.
However, after entering here, Ryan discovered that the first old man had no body at all. When he got closer, Ryan realized that it was an incorporeal or spiritual body. He was still looking down at his book.
Another old man glanced at Ryan, his eyes were extremely sharp, but it was just a glance. He smiled slightly to show friendship, and then started reading. When he encountered more advanced ones, he silently took note of them, hoping to see if he could ask them when they took a break.
They asked for advice.
In addition to teaching cultivation techniques, this gardening book also talks about the selection of landscape plants. For example, some of the beautiful flowers are very dangerous, ranging from being toxic to a large extent to being able to absorb the vitality of large areas of land.
There is a classic saying that truth comes from the ordinary. Ryan did not expect that an ordinary gardening book would introduce many seeds that can produce excellent results using the magic of rain.
Just like Sophia's life when she was still studying, reading time always passed quickly. When Ryan closed the book, the sun was already setting, and time was like sand, slipping away from his fingertips unknowingly.
The two old men at the table lost one of them at some point. The other one was finishing simple cleaning and did not disturb Ryan's reading. He just waited for Ryan to get up and close the door.
After gaining something, he returned the book to its original place, turned around and took two steps towards the door. Just as he was about to use this opening, the mind call reached Ryan's mind first. [If you don't die generously like a hero, you will eventually become ordinary.
.The word "extraordinary" of the extraordinary is naturally based on the mortal world. You are already far away from the mortal world. This is the case with every generation of Carlos' quick products.】
Ryan tried to ask: "Old sir, I don't know how to avoid becoming a quickie?"
[Ordinary people don’t have this condition even if they want to achieve quick results. The various elements passed down by Carlos are the best choices for becoming a quick product. The more you pursue your own power, the more you will become a quick product. When the power is limited, there is no
Any quick-finished product of any technique will be instantly defeated by an enemy that is much weaker than the original self.】
"Then you mean that I need to refine my skills?"
[There was once an adventurer with one arm and one leg. With his amazing perseverance and dedication to the sword, he defeated a contemporary sword master in a one-on-one duel. However, this explorer's physical ability was less than ten times yours.
One percent. But if you face any sword master of this generation, you will lose.】
"Junior has learned a lesson, thank you senior for your enlightenment." Hearing the old man's deafening enlightenment made Ryan realize everything.
[I hope you won’t disgrace Carlos’ name. This book can be regarded as belonging to an old friend.] A tattered book appeared in the old man’s hand and he threw it to Ryan.
This tattered book has no cover, and the first page is still an abstract painting, but it can be vaguely seen as a sword skill. Ryan took the book, thanked the old man again, glanced at the book in his hand, and then
He put the book away and said to the old man: "This junior will never let down the name of Carlos."
[You don’t necessarily need to follow the path of your predecessors. Even if they are the same path leading to destruction, there are still different wonderful things. That’s it, I wish you good luck. ]
Ryan saluted the old man again, gathered his mood and left the bookstore. With his beating heart, every step he took became more solid and powerful.
Noel passed by many shops that were open early. The pace of life here is also fast. There are also several adventurers in the Adventurers Association confirming orders, and the staff are busy processing documents.
Noel went to the Explorers Association to see the process of accepting commissions, and by the way, to see what kind of commissions there are now.
The people in the hall are all freelance explorers, and they are also selecting commissions. However, most of them are catching cats and dogs or investigating extramarital affairs. The few combat commissions have also been grabbed by the explorers in front.
Noel scratched his beard, shook his head, turned around and walked towards the receptionist at the counter. "Why do you guys have so many small commissions here? Are there any others, higher level ones?"
"There are very few higher-level commissions from Se'an. They are usually transferred from other cities." The staff's polite behavior surprised several explorers on the side.
"And most of them will be handed over to explorers directly affiliated with the association headquarters. The previous commissions from Mr. Carlin and Mr. Fageni were very rare."
"That sounds troublesome." Noel's eyebrows knitted together. "So, you don't have any decent commissions here for the time being?"
"Maybe it will be available in a while, but it's hard to say." The clerk shook his head. "But we will also pay attention to the orders delivered from other cities."
"Okay, please help me and pay attention to it. I'll come back and take a look in the afternoon," Noel said.
"Okay." The clerk took a note and wrote it down.
After that, Noel turned around and went out to wander around, taking a look at the customs and customs of the city, and looking for a place to get some good drinks. He wandered around, and was lucky enough to see someone selling it in an alley.
A black shop for strengthening potions.
Unfortunately, this kind of potion can only be used by people who have not taken any strengthening potion, and it also has side effects. Then the ragged little guy in front saw that Noel had no intention of buying it, so he took out two Lindsey coins that he had stolen from somewhere.
I drank the last two bottles.
After the little ghost made the purchase, he used some method to hide himself and ran away, and the store was immediately closed. Noel touched his beard, shrugged, turned and walked out of the alley.
