At the entrance of the staff shop, the two witch sisters with satisfied faces said goodbye to the old man.
"Yeah, let's go slowly. Welcome to visit us next time."
In front of the counter, Old Man Alder smiled and waved, still looking like the calm and elegant elderly gentleman he was.
...........
"So where do we go next?"
Dorothy asked Alice while teasing the little milk cat Buster who was lying on her shoulder.
At this time, the little witch was also looking at the kitten on her sister's shoulder with envy, and then looked at the pair of double guns in her hands that she originally liked, and couldn't help but sigh.
Alas, comparing people to others makes people angry, and comparing things with things has to be thrown away. When can you two change it for me?
Alice thought sourly.
But she is actually not that bitter. After all, unlike her sister who is a cat, she is a dog, and she also has her own familiars to jerk off to, so there is no need for envy at all.
"Let's go to the bookstore. We also need to buy magic books, and then some commonly used spell-casting materials. Then just go to the material store and buy ready-made freshman admission gift bags. That's faster to buy."
After gathering herself, the little witch continued to lead the way skillfully.
"Spell book? Then I don't think I need to buy it. My spell book has just been upgraded to the latest version."
Dorothy said.
As an Internet-addicted girl, she doesn't care about anything else, but the magic book as an Internet-connected device has never been neglected. The configuration of her own spell book has always been at the forefront of the times.
For this reason, Dorothy even taught herself the skills of making, maintaining and upgrading spell books, and immersed herself in the Bookmakers Association, a professional forum for spell book makers, to learn the skills for a long time. In order to apply what she learned, she would occasionally help the cute ones in the association.
Newcomers write down a cost-effective configuration list and so on.
After so many years of hanging out, she has become somewhat famous in the Bookmakers Association. She is the kind of person who easily loses herself in the shouts of "good guys" every time she bubbles up.
"It's not a spell book. We're going to buy a textbook package that will be used in Witch Academy. Although you can download it directly from the big library of the Magic Network, the ones in the big library are all general-purpose versions, and the price is still expensive.
If you go to a bookstore to buy it, it is not only cheaper, but you can also buy a version that has been personally annotated by the bookstore owner, which is even more valuable."
Alice explained, and when she mentioned this, the little witch became more energetic. She continued to educate her sister who was addicted to the Internet but lacked some common sense about reality.
"Offline bookstores these days are using all kinds of tricks to compete with the Magic Network Library. Almost every book sold in a bookstore has an exclusive annotated version by the owner. You can always buy different versions of the same book in different bookstores.
version of."
"But now if you want to open a bookstore, the owner must be a well-known figure in academia. The threshold for applying for a business license for a bookstore is quite high. You must have a complete degree, so you don't have to worry about being rejected by these store owners.
The annotated version of the book is a scam.”
"It's just that sister, if you go to a bookstore by yourself to buy books in the future, you should pay more attention to understand the academic research field of the shop owner, and try to only buy books that are in the shop owner's field of expertise. Otherwise, there is still a risk of being led astray."
"When it comes to Witch Academia textbooks, hehe, we have to mention our bookstore on Haiyue Floating Island. Although we are only a small 18th-tier city, here is the most authentic bookstore for textbooks in the world.
Yes, every year there are always some witches from out of town who come here to buy textbooks."
Alice puffed up her almost nonexistent chest and said slightly proudly.
"Why? Oh, does the bookstore owner here have a special status?"
Dorothy cooperated very well in setting up the stage for her sister, satisfying the little witch's desire to express herself as a teacher.
"Yeah, the bookstore here is opened by the sage of scrolls."
Alice reveals the answer to the question.
In response to this, Dorothy first thought about who the sage in this volume was, and then couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Good guy, it turns out to be her.
The so-called Sage of the Volume is a title, but from this title we can see that this witch is extraordinary. After all, Sage is one of the highest titles in the witch world. This is evident from the fact that the highest decision-making body is named Sage.
This can be seen in the parliament.
Therefore, it is not just any cat or dog that can be awarded the title of sage, all those who can get this title are big guys.
This sage of scrolls is naturally a person of great status, and her greatness is also clearly shown in her title.
The Sage of Papers, as the name suggests, is the sage of test papers. This person is not only a master in academic circles, but also a big boss in the educational field of the witch world. He once revised and edited the textbooks of Witch Academy and the written test papers of major rating examinations.
This boss is responsible for everything.
If there was a ranking of the most terrifying witches in the witch world, this boss would definitely be at the top. She was the nightmare of countless witch students during their school days.
Fortunately, this boss is a very old witch after all. Dorothy doesn't know how old she is. Anyway, according to her stepmother, her grandmother's grandmother was doing the exam papers for this boss back then.
However, Dorothy didn't take many of the test papers set by this boss, because the ancient witch finally announced her retirement more than ten years ago.
Undoubtedly, the new witches of Dorothy's generation were lucky, as they escaped from the hands of this devil.
Because of this, Dorothy herself didn’t know much about this ancient witch sage. She occasionally heard her stepmother yell out in a frenzy when she was tutoring Alice in her homework, “How could I have given birth to someone so stupid as you?”
"Daughter, if you had been in my era, you wouldn't have been able to get a double-digit score..." Complaints like these give a glimpse of the terrifying nature of this legendary witch.
But she never expected that such a legend in the world of witches would open a bookstore and live in seclusion in Haiyue Island, a remote small city on the 18th line.
"Yeah, it seems that Lady Haiyue Witch is somewhat related to this Sage of Volume, so the boss came here to live in retirement. Well, we are here, sister."
Alice saw the confusion on her sister's face and explained with a smile. She was also shocked when she first heard her mother mention this.
Dorothy also followed Alice's guidance and looked at the bookstore that she had arrived at unknowingly.
At first glance, the appearance is quite ordinary, without any luxury like that of a big shot. It is very simple and plain, and there are many pots of flowers placed at the entrance of the store.
Smell the fragrance of the flowers, look into the store along the glass display window, and what I see is the neat rows of bookshelves. Looking at it makes me feel inexplicably comfortable, and my soul suddenly calms down.
a feeling of.
A very good bookstore.
As a witch who is also on the road to omniscience, Dorothy commented in her heart that she likes this kind of quiet and peaceful place where people can calm down and study.
She raised her head and looked at the store name written on the sign at the door.
A bookstore.
Dorothy: "......"
Ah, this...is this the realm of a boss?
Listening to your words is really like listening to your words.
With this unspoken feeling, the two sisters walked into the bookstore. As soon as they entered the door, they were greeted by the fragrance of ink, which was elegant and peaceful.
