Chapter 47: Catalogue of Beasts

Blue himself came to the caravan bazaar, and now Blue has learned a lot of words, and he doesn't need Mary to accompany him to the bazaar.

He drove to the heart of the bazaar, where he was the only place to sell things that were both valuable and strange, and Blue had already mastered the law.

He walked slowly in front of several stalls, carefully observing the contents of the stalls, some of which were beautifully crafted, with beautiful patterns made of metal, shining silver in the sun.

From the encyclopedia, Blue learned that this metal is called silver, and the advanced civilizations of the South like to use it to make all kinds of exquisite utensils, that is, the guys who eat and drink, and Blue certainly does not understand this aesthetic concept.

He filtered out the flashy stuff and continued to watch.

There is a stall full of all kinds of weapons and protective gear, meteorite long knives, meteorite daggers, meteorite helmets, as well as various protective leather armor and leg guards.

Meteorite is the most common metal weapon material, but it is still very scarce among the steppe tribes, because no craftsman in the steppe tribes can craft metal weapons, and their meteorite weapons are all exchanged from caravans.

But Blue wasn't uncommon with these things, he had a meteoric dagger, and leather armor that his father had left for him.

I walked to the next stall, which finally caught Blue's footsteps, and there were many books, most of them on parchment, but one book was different.

This book is much thinner than those books made of parchment, and the volume is a few circles smaller, and there is a line of words on the cover, a hundred X catalogue, and the second word is unknown to Blue, and there are too many strokes.

Blue is very curious about all the unknowns, and when he sees such a different book, he will not let it go.

He squatted on the ground, grabbed the book with one hand, and it was much lighter than the parchment, and when he took it in his hand, he looked at it closely, only to find that although the book was light and thin, it actually had a lot more pages than a book made of parchment, but the paper was too light.

When the merchant of the caravan saw a little boy of five or six years old picking up a book and flipping through it, he hurriedly reminded: "Little friend, can you understand this book?" ”

When Blue heard the merchant's reminder, he was naturally much more cautious when turning the page, "I can read most of the text, it turns out that this is real paper, it's so thin!"

Blue found that the volume of each word in this kind of book made of real paper was much smaller than the words on parchment, but the lines were very neat, and each word was the average size.

He didn't know that the words on the parchment were all copied and recorded by others by hand, but the words on the paper were printed with printing technology, which was naturally neat and neat.

There are illustrations on almost every page, and this book is actually a book about the various pets on this continent, which can also be called a pet encyclopedia.

For this kind of book, Blue naturally fell in love at first sight, and he excitedly showed the blue bead on his neck, "Uncle, can you give me this book?" ”

The merchant just wanted to refuse, but when he saw the bead in Blue's hand, he immediately put on a smiling face, "Oh, it turns out that you are Blue of the Wolf Clan, you are a member of the seed, of course you can." “

"Take it back and look at it slowly, but be careful to store it, it is afraid of water and fire, so be sure to keep it in a dry place. ”

Blue hurriedly took the book into his arms, for fear that the merchant uncle would regret it, "Thank you, uncle, I remembered, goodbye!" Then, he ran home, but halfway through, he remembered that there was a word in the title of the book that he didn't recognize, so he hurriedly went to the teacher again.

When the merchant saw that Blue was gone, he hurriedly took out parchment and quills and took notes carefully.

"In the 2,718th Bright Year, the Wolf tribe of the Lost Forest, Seed member Blue received a copy of the Catalogue of the Hundred Beasts, recorded by Sancho Bruce"

Blue happily came to his teacher, the Witch Doctor.

The witch doctor also favored this beloved apprentice, and Blue's three senior sisters had never seen the teacher so kind to others.

Blue Xianbao generally held the books in his hands high, "Teacher, you see, the books I bought from the bazaar are made of paper, not sheepskin. ”

When the witch doctor heard Blue's words, he put down the things in his hand, looked up and saw the book in Blue's hand, and was also shocked, paper books are so rare, and she has seen them for the first time.

"Teacher, I don't know the four words on the cover, I don't know the second word, what kind of catalogue?" Blue handed the book to the teacher, not forgetting to ask the question he wanted to ask the most.

The witch doctor took the book and carefully identified the words on the cover, "Oh, it's the word beast, the beast of the beast, it's really complicated, I'll teach you this word today!"

After speaking, the witch doctor wrote this word on Blue's small blackboard one by one, and Blue carefully looked at the teacher's order of writing, and when he was studying, he was extremely serious.

Then the witch doctor carefully flipped through the book, and it turned out to be an encyclopedia of various beasts and animals on this continent.

The introduction is extremely detailed, just with pictures, there are thousands of kinds, and these rare birds and beasts are divided into different grades, and I don't know where the author's classification criteria come from.

The author's name is Linglongzi, a strange name, but judging by the oldness of this book, I'm afraid this author is not from this era.

When he heard that it was an encyclopedia of animals on the continent, Blue was very happy, and he guessed that this book should be of this nature, and he guessed correctly.

He took back the Catalogue of Beasts from his teacher, and this time he remembered the name of the book.

"Teacher, I'm going home to read a book, I think this book will be very good. ”

"Go ahead, if there are any words you don't know, you can write them down first, and ask me when you get together. The Witch Doctor responded kindly.

Blue ran home with a book in his arms, and Mary was sewing a leather coat for him, made of the tiger skin of the saber-toothed tiger, which was very beautiful, with yellow-black stripes of the saber-toothed tiger in front of and behind him.

Mary saw Blue come in, and at a glance saw the book he was holding, "Stinky boy, are you going to the bazaar to change books again? Books are so important?

"Yes, Mom, the best product in the bazaar, I read the book, and this is a real book made of paper, light and thin, and the number of pages is not less, you can take a look. ”

Mary took the "Catalogue of Beasts" and turned a few pages, and there was a sense of déjà vu in a trance, but she couldn't remember where she had read it.

Mary, who was illiterate, returned the book to Blue boredly, "Then you can read it slowly, you can ask the witch doctor if you don't know the words!"

"Don't worry, Mom, I've already shown it to the teacher, and that's what she said. ”
