The three of Aiwass sat at the table and waited, and soon Hypatia made three cups of coffee and brought them over.
She looks so young that people worry about whether she can carry three cups of coffee.
"Have Chunbai told you the specific rules?"
Stepping on the small steps next to the table, Hypatia asked while distributing coffee to the three of them.
"I probably know. It's limited time... right."
Aiwass confirmed: "But you can also tell them again."
Hypatia nodded and looked directly at Sherlock, who was also on the path of wisdom: "From the moment you drink the first sip of coffee, you will be able to see another world and the hidden occult books.
.Once you drink coffee, you won't be able to talk to other people.
"The total validity time of each cup of coffee is about one hour. A cup of coffee costs 500 gold coins. You can stay here until you finish drinking it. The transaction is over when you leave the store. You can wait for the illusion to end before taking another sip, and use the rest time to recover.
You can type notes in it. Or you can drink it all in one go, so it lasts for one hour. You can read as many books as you like during this hour, or you can choose to copy them."
The young elf puffed up his chest proudly: "All the tantra books and classics here can't be bought outside. As for finding books, it's very simple... just follow your own instinct. Wait until you enter the hallucination.
Afterwards, the book that is most compatible with you will shine in your eyes."
Hearing this, Sherlock first turned his head and looked at Aiwass.
After Aiwass nodded, he took a sip of coffee without thinking.
Sherlock covered his forehead. After a brief dizziness, he stood up in surprise, looked around, looked at Hypatia for a moment in surprise, bowed slightly and walked towards the bookshelf.
Immediately afterwards, Lily also drank the cup of coffee in front of her.
After they all stood up and left, Aiwass looked at Hypatia.
"Ms. Hypatia, if I want to buy out a certain book, what is the price?"
"Buyout?"
Hypatia asked with great interest: "Shall we buy it directly?"
"Yes, it's not an illusion. It's the entity of that book, the real tantra book."
Aiwass replied.
Although there is a tantra here, you can basically only read the cover.
Because the tantra book has a special way of inheritance, it must be read consecutively, and it seems that you will fall into hallucinations. People who have gone crazy cannot go crazy again, so they drank the book called "Paradox: Reality and Illusion".
"After having a cup of coffee, you will no longer be able to understand the tantra books. But you can learn other occult classics from here.
The collection of books here is very incomplete, but very rare. The main focus is on one single copy. They were all collected by Haibasa from the Dream World over the years.
"Which one?"
"It hasn't been decided yet, let's see what they choose first."
"No matter which copy it is, it will be expensive if you want to buy it permanently. I have only one copy here."
Haibasa said with a smile and spread his right hand: "A book of 50,000 gold coins only accepts cash transactions. This is a special discount. The price may have to increase next time."
"fifty thousand?"
Aiwass confirmed: "Are you talking about 50,000 star antimony gold coins?"
"That's right. In terms of white crown coins, it's equivalent to eighty thousand."
Hypatia leaned on the table in front of Aiwass, tapping his chin with his right hand.
Although she looks like a little girl, she moves like a noble woman. Such childish but mature behavior has no charm at all, but it is a bit laughable.
She said slowly: "However, there is another option.
"As long as you do me a small favor, this book worth 80,000 white crown coins will be given to you, how about it?"
"——No need."
Aiwass said, lifting his suitcase, placing it on the table and opening it.
Inside are stacks of large silver banknotes with crossed scepters and swords printed on them and a white crown in front. It is also known as the Knight Bond. In the early days of the ancient Avalon nation, a certain amount of money was required.
The White Crown Coin can be used to ask a knight to serve you for a period of time, or to help you complete a task.
Under Hypatia's surprised gaze, Aiwass took a small pile from it: "There are a total of 250,000 in it. I will take away 10,000 and there will be 240,000 to buy three books...
Would you like some?"
"...No need."
Hybasa didn't even need to count the money, she could tell how much money was left at a glance.
She asked reluctantly: "Why don't you ask me what I asked you to do?"
Aiwass smiled gently and nodded: "Yes, I won't ask. Once you know something, it will be difficult to get out of it. It paid for a mission worth 80,000 white crown coins.
My energy must be greater than the value of these 80,000 white crown coins. Compared with time, I still have more money."
"...You kid came prepared."
Haibasa closed the suitcase helplessly and accepted the money: "Forget it...that's fine, you are Gray's friends anyway. Just take whatever you like. These three cups of coffee are considered as gifts from me.
That’s it.”
"Then you won't give me any more gifts?"
Aiwass asked with a smile: "In general stores, customers who pay large amounts must have something to match them. Even if they pay in installments, they have to give some gifts during the holidays, right... This is more than two hundred thousand, how about you?"
Do you want to add something else?”
He came here initially just to do an experiment.
In the game, the plot of Haibasa also costs 80,000 yuan, so Haibasa is also called Haibasha 80,000 yuan. Later, in the main plot of the Calamity Dragon, the player and Aiwass rely on Haibasha 80,000 yuan.
Wan Zhuan transformed into Yu Jie and saved him... This can be regarded as a powerful friendly NPC.
She is different from Vivian. Although she has been reincarnated, she is still on the path of wisdom, so she has not lost much power.
——Her reincarnation is closer to rebuilding. She broke away from the Geometry Tiansi and planned to become a Tiansi on her own. It is very similar to the trajectory of the Silver Crown Dragon back then.
She asked for 80,000 yuan, and if she couldn't give it, he would help her run a very troublesome long-term mission - and of course, the player couldn't give it to her.
Because the carrying limit of the player's backpack is only 9,999 White Crown Coins, there is no way to give 80,000. In other words, this is actually similar to Pokémon's bicycle mission. The price is unpayable from the beginning, so you can only do the mission.
Strictly speaking, this is an anniversary mission here in Hybasa.
You can choose a total of three tantra books from her. All the limited tantra books that have appeared in the pool and have not entered the pool within two months can be selected. This is an anniversary event starting from the third year. Every anniversary
Qingdu will have one more book in its inventory. It is equivalent to getting a tantra book of the highest rarity for free.
Among them, the second and third books will give some extra gifts under the excuse of "accumulated consumption of 100,000" and "accumulated consumption of 200,000" respectively - it's still the same, because players simply can't pay. So in name:
Accumulated consumption, but it is actually a reputation reward.
Aiwass was too lazy to run the long-term mission that required him to travel back and forth to several countries, so he decided to take the money and try it out.
The main reason why he brought so much money was to give Hypatia 80,000 to give him a try.
In the end, she really accepted it.
"...Alright."
Haibasa sighed and looked a little helpless: "But we only sell these three copies. If you want to come again, you have to help me complete something... To be honest, I am not that short of money, but I am short of money."
Some errand runners. I'm not a money-grubbing person. I just asked you for 80,000 yuan. I just wanted to stop you. I didn't expect..."
I didn’t expect that I could really afford it.
She glanced at Aiwass and then at Lily.
Is it the guidance of the "prophet"... No, it doesn't seem to be her. She seems to be the successor of Gray Tiansi...
"As a gift, I plan to give you two pieces. Even if it is a cumulative consumption reward of 100,000 White Crown Coins and 200,000 White Crown Coins. For a reward of 100,000 White Crown Coins, I can give you a rare occult book that is not a tantra.
Classics; for two hundred thousand, I can give you a piece of equipment."
Hypatia thought: "But I don't have a lot of collections here... Shall I make a list for you? Or do you want some recommendations?"
"Give her a weapon."
Aiwass pointed at Lily: "You think about it. As for the book... I can choose it myself?"
"Yeah. You can get anything without the suffix 'tantra'. Or you can ask them when the time comes... take one, and you can come back to read the rest anytime you want. For books other than tantras, read
It’s not that time-consuming to get up.”
Hypatia nodded.
The implication is that she admitted that the tantra book she stored here was actually a gimmick.
There are indeed things, but they are mainly for showing off to you, not really intended to be lent to you. However, the low-end ones can be shared - generally speaking, this is what she thinks.
"Sorry for your trouble."
Aiwass replied respectfully.
Then, he drank the hallucinogenic coffee without hesitation.
