Chapter 40: Make a cameo appearance as an old man
The bookstore's facilities look quaint and old, with yellow wood patterns clearly printed on the tall bookshelves, and yellow marble counters with yellow veins sleek and shiny. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info to Milou, who is accustomed to being in a steel city embroidered yellow, everything about this bookstore looks strange and luxurious.
You know, since the church brought the four kingdoms steam machinery across the ages, the rate of iron ore mining buried in the ground has increased more than tenfold, in order to resist the attacks of monsters and beasts, the hard and cheap material of steel has naturally become the most commonly used material for human beings, from the mud, stone, and iron structure of the house, to the iron pavement on the ground, the whole city, no, it should be said that all the cities and roads of the four kingdoms are almost all under the protection of steel, from the city walls to weapons, Finally, when it comes to civilian tools, this world is simply a world made of steel.
After all, such a thing as steel is so common that some people even say that as long as there is iron ore in the place covered with soil, it is enough to see the abundance of this substance.
So on the contrary, trees and stones are much more valuable than steel, the green area inside the kingdom is very limited, and most of the forest resources are occupied by monsters and beasts, and although there are many materials such as marble, in the absence of effective processing machinery, a whole smooth and beautiful marble counter is undoubtedly very expensive and luxurious.
Even if there wasn't a single steam machine here, there was nothing around but books and signs on the counter that looked like they were clearly magical items. But this luxurious and quaint elegance made him tremble slightly.
I must have stumbled into some nobleman's study. Thinking of this, Milu didn't have time to take another look at the furnishings here, and quickly turned around to leave......
"Guest, please stay......" The crisp voice suddenly sounded out of nowhere, clearly reaching Milu's ears, he stopped his steps strongly, turned around, looked back, and found that there was no one around.
A cat with a black body stepped over from the luxurious marble counter and suddenly spoke, "Hello guests, welcome to the Mystery Book House. ”
Milou was taken aback, he actually saw a cat that spoke to people?
"You...... Can talk? ”
"I'm Beta, the clerk of the Mystery Book House, so it's not surprising that I can talk, guest"
Milou patted his chest, "Whew...... First time I saw a talking cat...... Haha, I'm sorry to ......", after saying this, he suddenly lowered his head in frustration and again, "Also, there are all kinds of mysterious things in the world outside the kingdom, and what is the strange ...... of a talking cat"
"But I'll probably never be able to get out of the kingdom......"
Then Milu became excited again and asked, "Then are you from the forest outside the kingdom?" Definitely yes, definitely yes! Can you tell me what's going on in the forest outside? Ugly monsters? Or a cruel beast......"
Milu babbled for a long time, and Beta glanced at him lightly, "I don't know what forest you're talking about, I'm just a clerk in this bookstore." ”
His words stopped abruptly, and his expression fell again, "Oh too...... Now where are there people who will walk out of the iron wall, the outside is full of monsters and beasts, even if it is dangerous and there is no stable supply, it is difficult to survive, and it is not worth ...... at all."
"Maybe you should buy a book in the store, guest." Beta continued lightly.
Milu shook his head and said regretfully, "I don't have any silver coins in my pocket, not even copper coins, books ......"
"The Mystery Book House doesn't need to be paid for with silver or copper coins."
"It's so expensive, and I don't have any gold coins...... You're in a black shop......"
Beta glanced at him, "You don't have to pay for anything here. ”
"No coins?" Milou looked at the books around him like a sea of smoke and swallowed, "Is it ......?"
Beta raised his forepaw and pointed at the floating billboard, and Milou looked over at it, the bulletin board was written in a strange text that he had never seen before, but when he looked carefully, Milou suddenly realized that he could actually understand the content of these words.
I saw that it was written.
"This bookstore is not allowed to enter the bookstore that is not a strange root, a genius of the sky, or a fortune of great fortune, and you can get ancient magic, future technology, and martial arts cheats here! So sign a contract with me! Grab your golden finger from here and save the world! ”
Mi Lu looked at it inexplicably for a long time, "What does this mean......"
"Literally."
"Literally......" Milou tentatively asked, "I can buy a magic book here?" ”
Beta nodded faintly.
"But what if you have a magic book...... A person like me who has no magical powers, can't even put out a flame, and can't even be a magician and a priest......" Milou stared at the ground in frustration.
"There is nothing impossible in the world, and the reason why it is impossible is only because your knowledge is not reached." Beta said lightly.
Milou was stunned and looked up.
Beta pulled out a parchment contract book that was bigger than her body, then pointed to the bookshelf in the room, "Go in and get a book, and sign the contract here." As long as your obsession is deep enough, you can get what you want here......"
"Really...... May I? ”
Milu gritted his teeth and took a deep breath, no matter what, I can't let go of any opportunity!
As soon as he turned around, he rushed in with faith as if he were a hero going to die.
"Don't go too far, it's dangerous inside......" The faint voice of the black cat came from behind, but he couldn't care about it anymore, his eyes swept along the rows and rows of bookcases, on which were placed books of various styles, many styles of books he had never seen before, but Milou had only one thought in his heart.
The cat said there was a magic book in it that would make me a magic priest!
Thick, quaint, mystical books, carrying all the magical records of the book owner, this is the book I was looking for!
And none of these!
Milu's glasses never left the bookcase, he kept walking along the bookcase to the depths of the bookhouse, getting deeper and deeper, and the light became darker and darker, I don't know how long it took, Milu's eyes suddenly lit up!
An unusually heavy black ** book is placed in the middle of the bookcase, and the book is carved with messy magic textures, although it does not emit any magical brilliance, but there is no doubt that this is definitely a magic book!
Mi Lu pulled out the book in surprise, and it was extremely heavy, but Mi Lu didn't care at all, and just wanted to open the cover, when suddenly a cold wind blew!
Milu's pupils shrank, and he rolled to the side violently!
A brilliant sword light flashed through the darkness!
Then a pair of scarlet eyes stared at his hands from the darkness.
Milou realized that he didn't know when he unconsciously walked to the depths of the bookstore, where it was pitch black, countless pairs of eyes of various colors stared at him in the darkness, strange voices sounded from all around, and the location of the bookstore counter was already like a small spot of light, hanging far away in the dark.
"Don't go too far, it's dangerous inside......"
This sentence suddenly sounded in Milou's ears, he smiled bitterly, one hand held the black magic book in his hand, and the other stood up on the ground, and by the faint light, Milu finally saw the monster in front of him clearly.
A ragged armored swordsman!
There was no body, only armor, two scarlet eyes flashing with dangerous light in the broken helmet, and the lower half of the body seemed to be cut off and floating in the air out of thin air!
Milou had never seen such a monster before, he screamed in horror and fell to the ground again, dangerously avoiding a slash of the monster, and then crawled up frantically, seeing more and more eyes gathered, Milou used his hands and feet, holding the book in his arms, and ran back like crazy.
Stumbling and bumping along the way, all kinds of monsters that had never been seen before suddenly attacked, Milou gasped and didn't know how long he ran, the light became stronger and stronger, and the moment he finally saw the marble counter, he finally stumbled on the table, panting like a convulsion, and his feet were completely unstrong on the ground.
After a long time, Milu raised his hand and shook it, "Inside...... There are a lot of monsters in there...... Why didn't you say it earlier! Call... Call... It's so big inside...... How far have I run......
"You've been warned, guest, that you should listen to my kind advice." Beta still spoke lightly.
"Huh? …… Call...... You didn't say there were monsters in there! It's horrible! Good thing I ran fast! Milou looked happy, and then slapped the magic book in his hand on the counter, and as he looked at the book, he suddenly grinned again.
"Such a thick book of magic haha...... It's worth it! ”
Beta shoved the parchment in front of his eyes with his paws, "Sign the contract to see the book for what it really is, write the name, and the book will be yours." ”
Milou picked up the parchment casually, glanced at it hurriedly, then picked up a strange pen on the table, waved his hand, and landed the name.
Milou. Hughes Dica. d。 Lore Roman
Of course, Beta wouldn't know what the name meant, and of course, even if she knew what it meant, the reaction would be the same. Beta nodded faintly, then put the parchment paper in a drawer, glanced at Milou, and then leaned on the table with a confused eye and stopped talking.
Milou walked out of the door of the book with the big black book in his arms and opened the cover excitedly.
Only a purple light suddenly flashed, and the big black book was like the dust of the washing tongs, and the dust and old leather peeled off layer by layer, and then the purple light broke out again, and in Milu's surprised eyes, a transparent figure suddenly floated out of the book......
"Did you wake me up......"
The man in strange costume floated in front of Milou and opened his mouth faintly......
