Chapter 25: The Bazaar of the Three Sages (4)
"Understood," Hao Ren said with a shorthand brush and a blank piece of paper beside him, "the magic core, we usually use the guest's wand or magic core directly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
"Phoenix tail feathers. Phoenix pulled out two golden-red feathers from his pocket. Hao Ren packed them into a delicate wooden box and made a series of 'clicks'.
"Finally, the wand information of both sides. β
Hearing this, Phoenix remembered that he never knew about Hermione's wand. But it doesn't matter, Eden delivers a letter far faster than an owl.
"Okay, the man's purple shirt, thirteen and a third inches, phoenix tail feathers. The woman's vine wood, fourteen inches, with the core of the cane is the dragon's heart. You have to be careful, the dragon's heart cord is exceptionally good at learning the dark arts. Hao Ren laughed, "Personality pattern, male phoenix, female otter." It will take three months to complete, is there anything else that needs to be changed, or a problem?"
"It's good, that's all. β
"Okay," the wooden box with the white paper burned out with Hao Ren's gesture, "a total of 12,000 gold ge, and the fraction will be free for you." β
"I'm kidding me," Phoenix looked at him dumbfounded, "for so much money, I could buy you." β
"Ah, you see the other things that damage the store, there is no need to compensate. But damaging the charm justβ"
Phoenix said with an unhappy face: "It's always me who is unlucky, give him money." β
Hao Ren sent them all the way to the door.
"Congratulations, I think your grandfather will be happy that your wife is a wizard from a non-pure-blood family. Little Watson patted him on the shoulder, "I'm a little worried about your engagement to Bobin. β
Phoenix glanced at him, "You still look a little confused. β
The two of them bypassed a few wizards who were haggling with the stall owner.
"I'm a little puzzled, how did you decide Miss Granger was the right fit for you? β
"I don't know if she's the right fit for me, she's beautiful and that's enough, the rest is just the minutiae. Phoenix bluntly said, "Seriously, I don't have a choice." Weasley is beautiful, but she's a pure-blood, and she's ruled it out, wow, she's got a lot of beauties out there. β
"Mixed-race, there is a very beautiful Chinese girl, but unfortunately, not so beautiful that I duel for her. Phoenix motioned to go to the Silent Ran Bookstore, "So, Hermione is my only choice, it's destiny." I mean, even if all goes well and I marry Melinda, there's a good chance I'll need illegitimate children. β
"A lot of people will envy you. Little Watson said with a smile.
"It's going to die. Phoenix said angrily, "It's all him, or she, it doesn't seem appropriate to say that." In short, it's always me who is unlucky. Others are true love is often Muggle, why my ancestors true love is pureblood, the current situation, count my character explosion, there is no dilemma. β
"Blood curse, uh-huhβ" Phoenix kicked a pebble on the ground. Watson Jr. thinks it's better to get away from the topic as soon as possible.
"It looks like there's a book signing party," he said, pointing to a large sign in front of him as a statue appeared in front of him.
They came to the door of the tent with a sign that read, 'Silent Ran Bookstore'. There is a long line on the left, and a large signboard on the right.
'Exclusive publication of "Miscellaneous Treatise on the Five Senses" by Xu Cheng and Ming Female Ting. β
"I know she's famous for prophesiing about the King," Phoenix quipped, "but why nowβ"
"She's a big prophet. A black wizard in line next to him interrupted him.
"I can see it, but why is it only being published now?" Phoenix asked, turning around.
"It's a family spell, but I've heard that her descendants are dying in despair. As he spoke, he stood on tiptoe and looked forward, "Dude, how many people are in front of you?"
Through the translucent curtain, the order inside is far less than that outside, and people are scrambling to cut in line and push, most of them are middle-aged and elderly wizards. You can see that the bookstore is very large, and there is a wooden terrace around the hall on the second floor of the hall.
"That's enough for you to stay in line until the evening. Phoenix began, "Go in and buy some presents." β
The top of the bookstore, like the ceiling of the Hogwarts Great Hall, was enchanted, and the warm sunlight was shining on the shelves. If it weren't for the noisy crowd, it would be a bit poetic. A banner hung in the center of the hall, 'Celebrating the 200th Anniversary of Silent Ran Publishing House!'
"Good timing. Phoenix's gaze swept over the books.
"Quick Start with Wandless Spellcasting", "International Ranking of Magical Education", "Mermaid Habits and Social Customs", "Three Simple Gestures to Make It Easy to Curse Your Enemies", "The Tales of the Poet Bean", "Alchemy: Getting Rich Overnight", "The "Dangerous" Biography of Dey Llewellyn, "Demystifying the Hereditary Professions in East Asia"
These popular books are placed in the most prominent position. The entire ground floor is filled with bestsellers and textbooks, and new books released by famous scholars are often placed here.
"Oh my God," Phoenix asked, as he saw a huge wooden shelf full of "Yokai Monsters' Books" wrapped in transparent bubbles next to the stairs leading to the second floor, "Are they textbooks?"
"Yes, you won't, will you?" the clerk didn't seem to want to answer.
"No, I have. The clerk breathed a sigh of relief, "I didn't know that the students at that school were so unlucky, I remember that Brace was damaged by it for three sets of robes." β
The second floor is divided into categories according to the nationality of the author. In the end, Phoenix picked an East Asian bestseller, "A Day in the City of All Nations", about a half-blood wizard who saw and heard in the city of all nations. The author, Li Yi, is a well-known Asian historian of magic, naturalist, and traveler, and this book is considered to be a good help for half-blood, Muggle-born wizards to understand the basic knowledge and customs of wizarding society.
Once Phoenix has picked out his gifts, he can't wait to head to the bookshelves of some famous magical zoologists.
"Look for it, see if that book has an introduction to Yunlong. As he spoke, Phoenix took a copy of "Footprints of the Mysterious Beast" from the shelf, which was full of animal illustrations without a word.
Many of the pictures are only one or two sentences long, and the books are full of unconfirmed creatures and legends that the devil knows where to hear them. Others, without even names, are sketches based on eyewitness descriptions. To Phoenix's surprise, this kind of book is basically meaningless, and there are still people who publish it for him.
Eventually, it was discovered that some of the creatures appeared to be new species, but often turned out to be goblins in grass skirts, or Hippogriffs that had been illegally experimented on.
This creature is surprisingly hard to find, and in the end they just found a little clue on a magical creature painting for young children, but there is only one picture, no text, no introduction, etc. (To be continued.) )
