Chapter 43: The Magical House of Magic
After clarifying the goal of the next stage of cultivation, Jia Luo did not bother the old man again. Ben also wanted to repay the staff that had been broken by him, but the old man refused to accept the money, saying that it was not bad money, and it was better to buy something useful for himself than to give him the money.
Waving goodbye to the old man, he left the guild. As for the big gift that the other party repeatedly emphasized before parting, he was not interested. No matter what it is, it belongs to others to give, and what is not earned by hands at all must come comfortably.
But he had some expectations, after all, the old man was really good to him. Whatever it is, he shouldn't throw it away at will!
After leaving the guild, Jarrow kept heading towards a remote neighborhood. Naturally, this trip is to the magic house, in addition to buying books with commanding explanations, the main thing is to consult the owner there.
Speaking of bosses, we have to talk about the magic house, which is a very magical building, with a total of eight storefronts in the city of Táchira. It's not accurate to say that there are eight storefronts, it's just the entrance to the magic house, after all, no matter which storefront you enter from, you will come to the same place, of course, you can enter in advance!
Only people with magic in their bodies can enter, such as adventurers, if ordinary people want to see it, in addition to being introduced, they also need to get permission from the magic house.
The entrance to Jarrow was the poorly decorated storefront, and if it weren't for the slightly recognizable sign on the door, it would have been an abandoned house.
The sign consists of two patterns, a reddish-brown book mark, and a pitch-black magic hat, which has faded a little due to years of repair. Coupled with the poor decoration, it's easy to overlook it.
But that's one of the entrances to the magic house!
Jarrow didn't have to walk long before he came to this entrance. Compared to the last time, this time he clearly felt that the magic house was not simple. The sign was supposed to have some kind of magic set up in it, and it was difficult to destroy, and as soon as you entered, it was watched the whole time.
Thinking about the props on display in the magic house, Jarrow didn't think there was anything wrong with it, after all, this was just a protective measure, and if someone took the opportunity to steal the goods, or if something forgot to pay, it would be difficult to get out of the magic house.
If you want to steal inside, you are unlikely to succeed! In the event of malicious destruction of goods, the sign will sound an alarm and all eight entrances will be temporarily closed.
According to Jarrow's knowledge, the magic house seems to be guarded by strong guards, and as long as you buy and sell goods in a proper manner, nothing will happen. But if there are bad intentions, the end is not as simple as being blacklisted.
The last time he walked through the door in a daze, before he could react, he arrived in the public hall, and this time he wanted to see what was going on: there was a teleportation array at the entrance?
The door is closed, but if you reach out and touch it, it will open immediately. Jarrow walked in cautiously, but he didn't understand what was going on, and he came to the noisy public hall.
"Welcome number 95527 guests back to visit, I wonder what you want to buy this time? Or is there something that needs to be sold? ”
The one who came to entertain was not a human, it was a robot puppet, and it had no combat effectiveness. There is not only one in the hall, but it only appears when someone arrives.
As for that strange name, you will only change your name when your cumulative transaction amount exceeds 5 coins. Jarrow isn't angry, and there's no need to be angry with a robot.
"I'd like to buy a book on imperative explanations, you should have them here, right?"
"Absolutely! Please also invite the guests to follow me to the library pavilion, this side please! ”
The spacious public hall has a total of sixteen gates, each leading to a pavilion, in addition to the twelve exclusive pavilions classified by guild, there is also a library pavilion, an information pavilion, an alchemy office, and a gold exchange office.
In addition to selling all kinds of precious books, the library also sells newspapers and magazines, and most of the information pavilions provide information about monsters, so that adventurers can be fully prepared, of course, there are also rumors of information from the outside world, but the cost is very high, and ordinary adventurers have no spare money to take care of it.
As for the alchemy, it was a very mysterious place, and according to Jarrow's guess, the robot puppet should be one of the products.
As the name suggests, anyone who comes to sell items must go to the money exchange. As for the value of the item, there will be a professional to appraise.
There are also some special services in the gold exchange, such as bounty orders, which are basically powerful monsters that are difficult for adventurers' guilds to solve, or criminals who are wanted by the outside world, or strong people among enemy forces.
In short, the objects of the bounty are difficult to entangle, and if you want to receive the task, there are even more hard requirements.
In addition, the gold exchange house also has a consignment service, and at the same time, every once in a while, it will sell all kinds of in-demand goods at low prices for a limited time.
To put it simply, the magic house is not simple at all, and it is even more mysterious than the magic guild...
Follow the robot puppet into the first door on the left, and you will come to the library pavilion. As soon as he entered, Jarrow was shocked by the sight in front of him. The neat rows of bookshelves are full of books, and when you look at it, you can't see the deepest part of the library: this collection of books... Not to mention a million copies, right?
The seemingly enclosed space is very well lit, without too much decoration, very simple, not only has a large collection of books, but also quietly, it looks like a holy place for scholars!
At this moment, Jarrow was in the front hall, and there were men's and women's bathrooms not far from him, as well as a reading room with a closed door.
In front of the reading table and chairs not far ahead, a group of people seemed to be engaged in a heated discussion, but Jarrow just couldn't hear their voices, which was really unbelievable!
"It's so big, so many books, how can I find them?"
"Guests don't need to worry, what you need is in Zone H, please come with me!"
Immediately following behind the robot puppet, Jarrow couldn't help but ask, "There are a lot of people here, but why can't I hear their voices?" ”
"All areas of the Library Pavilion are under the spell of silence, you can't hear them, it's natural!"
"I see."
However, the robot had just taken Jarrow to Area D, when he suddenly stopped: "Uh, why don't you leave?" ”
"Dear Distinguished Guest, No. 95527, our boss will entertain you personally, and my mission ends here!"
Seeing the robot puppet disappear out of thin air, Jarrow was surprised: "This is magic? Still is..! ”
"Ho ho, funny boy, we're meeting again!"
A person suddenly appeared in front of him, and if he hadn't been in the magic house, Jarrow would have felt that someone was going to disadvantage him.
The visitor was a middle-aged gentleman with blond hair and golden eyes, a long beard, and gold-rimmed glasses, who looked very amiable.
"It turned out to be the boss you, just.. What do I have to entertain you personally? ”
"Boy, don't be presumptuous! You're the only Dark Muse in Takira, so be confident! ”
"To reintroduce myself, my name is Morgan Edward, and I am the current owner of the magic house and the director of the alchemy institute! Boy, you need to buy a classic book on the basics of magic this time, I have a few I want to recommend for you to take a look, come with me! ”
Remembering the last time he cheekily asked the person in front of him, Jarrow felt a little ashamed, but there was really no way to do it at that time!
And this time the other party was so enthusiastic, which made Jarrow a little uncomfortable. What should I do if I can't open my mouth by waiting for the meeting? Go back to self-study? I haven't fully recognized the words, how can I learn them? Wait a minute!
"Uncle, the Dark Magician... Is it really that rare? ”
"Scarcity is certain, and the reason for this is still unknown, but once it grows, the strength will become terrifying, what? What are you afraid of? ”
Jarrow wasn't afraid, just a little distressed, and he followed Edward closely, feeling a lot of malicious gaze...
