Chapter 175: The store manager's recommendation
There was a bookstore that caught Al's eye.
From the outside, this should be a very cosy little shop, the outside is two glass doors that have been divided into small pieces of lattice, each piece of glass is wiped clean, and the edge of the door frame is also arranged with a large carefully planted green vine, and the sign is a large piece of wood, on which a few colorful words of the fairy forest are written in elegant flower style.
It's more like a café than a bookstore.
However, Al was attracted not because of the layout of the store, but because he felt that the books in the bookstore here had an unusual taste.
Other bookstores exude the smell of books, although it is a nice word to describe the fragrance of books, but if you want to be more serious, in fact, the so-called smell of books is the smell of new paper and printing materials, but the bookstore of this store Pù is completely different, Al seems to smell the smell of the forest from here.
If I had to describe it, it was like being on the edge of a forest on a summer evening in a logging village, with the strong smell of trees and blades of grass baked by the sun all day.
It's just a bookstore, so how can it smell like this?
With this curiosity, Al walked into the bookstore.
Ding-dong-ding-dong.
There is a row of small bells hanging at the main entrance of the bookstore, and if someone walks into the store, they will come across these bells and make a nice sound.
"Welcome. ”
A gentle voice came from the left side of the door, and Al turned his head to look at it, slightly surprised.
This is a very beautiful girl, the eyebrows and eyes are exceptionally delicate and gentle, but what surprised Al was not the beauty of this girl, after all, in Al's eyes, whether it was his mother, or Amber and Angel, they should be more beautiful than this girl.
To Al's surprise, the girl's hair and eyes were emerald green, and Al had never seen anyone with hair and eyes of this color before.
It's a beauty that is full of exoticism.
Then Al noticed the girl's ears again, different from ordinary humans, the girl's ears were pointed and slender, and the shape was almost close to the slender fingers, when he saw these ears, Al was slightly stunned, and then suddenly realized.
Genie.
In many books, Al has seen various descriptions and descriptions of this race of humans, they are an ancient race, they live in the depths of the forest, their houses and living utensils are very harmonious with nature, they live much longer than humans, they can sing, dance and love art.
In addition, the most mentioned, and the most desirable for mankind, is the extraordinary beauty of this race.
The delicate skin that cannot be seen in the pores, the slender and slender body, the delicate facial contours and the delicate facial features, this qiē is undoubtedly handsome and beautiful by human standards.
Among the alien races living in the Eternal Continent, only the appearance of elves is most in line with human aesthetics.
There is a saying that no matter which branch of the elf race, if you take out an elf and put it in the human world, you will at least be one in a million beauties.
This may be a slight exaggeration, but it also shows the degree to which humans recognize the beauty of elves.
Seeing the guest who walked into the store and staring blankly at herself, the elven girl didn't feel the slightest surprise, after all, she had encountered such things too many times.
"What kind of book do you need?"
The elven girl asked.
"These. ”
Al came back to his senses, and he handed the book list he had prepared in his hand to the young store manager.
The elven girl glanced down at the books on the list, and a smile appeared on her face.
"We didn't sell these textbooks in our store before, but recently we've bought some of them, and you can see if there's what you need in that corner. ”
Al walked over to the direction the elf was pointing and looked, the books were indeed very new.
Among these books, Al found six or seven books on the list.
"Are all the textbooks here?"
Al asked.
The elf girl had that soft smile on her face, and she nodded, "Yes, our store has just started the business of teaching books, so please understand." ”
Al nodded.
After searching for all the books, Al put them all in front of the counter where the elven girl stood.
"You can help me pack these books first. ”
"Okay. ”
The elf girl's fingers were slender and slender and quite dexterous, and she quickly made this qiē in a few moments of finger flying.
"Guest, the book you picked out is already packed, huh?"
The elven girl raised her head as she spoke, but when she looked up, she made a slightly surprised sound, for the cloak guest was no longer standing at her counter, but had walked to the bookshelf to the side.
Al took a book off the shelf.
This book is different from all the books Al has seen before, the cover of this book is made of small branches, and it is possible to put together many of these branches that are much thinner than the little finger into the cover of the book, and the amount of labor involved in this can be imagined, if it were a human being, I am afraid that only the so-called artists would be willing to do such a time-consuming and laborious thing.
The smell of the forest seems to come from this book.
"Guest, the books you are holding in your hand right now are the hallmarks of our store, and these are all real elven books, but you need someone who knows elven to be able to read them. ”
Al didn't answer right away, he opened the elf book in his hand.
Indeed, they are words that have never been seen before.
There are about three kinds of scripts that Al has mastered now, namely the Celestial Script, the Demon Script, and the Human Common Script, and as for the scripts of other races, Al also wants to learn them, but he didn't have such conditions in the logging village before.
"Miss Elf, if I need to learn Elven literature, are there any recommended books here?"
Al's question made the elf girl clerk slightly stunned.
"What's wrong?"
Al didn't understand why the elf girl clerk reacted like this, could it be that he was a strange question?
The elven girl exhaled out of her small mouth, and she chuckled.
"Nothing. ”
She shook her head.
What a quirky person.
If you are a scholar who knows elven literature, you won't ask so many silly questions, even some human men who want to show it in front of themselves will pretend to be knowledgeable and talented, and they can understand the words in the book.
And this kind of person who candidly says he doesn't know and wants to learn after seeing the elven text is really rare.
"The kind of elven textbooks you are talking about, right? The store has not introduced this kind of thing before, but there should be elven elementary textbooks in the batch of textbooks that have just been purchased, you can go and see it, and in addition, if you really want to learn elven literature, as the store manager, I recommend you to take a look, Gitanjali poems, that elf poetry collection is easy to understand and popular, it can be said to be a real classic.
