Chapter 323: Half-beast
The opening of the first bookstore in Wangcheng was a grand event, and for this purpose, Luna also printed a batch of ten copies of the first hardcover edition of "Imaginary Country" as a gift.
Six of them were sent to the five Vice-Chancellors and the Field family, the other four, one was left by Luna to Gotte, one was kept by the royal family, and the remaining two were sent by her to Samuel to two other scholars in the Snow Wolf Kingdom who were as famous as Gotte.
In fact, because of Robben City, the brothers Silas and Samuel planned to keep the bookstore low-key, but Luna didn't think so, after all, she opened the bookstore to make money, and if she wanted to make money, it was impossible not to let the books circulate.
It's all circulated, and it's still low-key?!
So, Her Royal Highness opened her mouth again, and issued a triple question that hit His Majesty's sore feet, "Does the treasury still want to make money? The bookstore is open, and no one knows what to make money with?"
And the result, just look at the small bookstore at this time, the endless stream of guests who came to celebrate, and the animal cars outside that almost blocked the road in the business district.
"Are you getting bigger? I think your uncle can't hold on. Aren't you going to help?"
Standing on the second floor of the bookstore, Fleming smacked his lips as he looked at Samuel, who was busy greeting the scholars who came to him, and all kinds of embarrassment.
"I'm going to go, I'm still young. Luna replied calmly with a glass of ice juice in her hand, taking small sips.
"I'm not the master. Fleming shook his head and smiled, reminding, "Samuel is afraid that little stock in his stomach is about to be rolled out, so be careful that he will turn his face with you when you get back." ”
"No, my uncle has read more books than you think. "Well, probably a lot more than the scholars below.
Luna added in her mind.
She is actually very confident in Samuel, but Samuel was born in a royal family, even if she has no enthusiasm for learning, she has been forced to be stuffed like a duck to this age, and there is still some ink in her stomach.
In addition, there are really no entertainment projects these days, and Samuel always runs around on weekdays, and during the trip, although he doesn't read serious books, he doesn't read a lot of manuscripts as a pastime, and it definitely breaks through the regionality.
This time she opened a bookstore, and Luna collected a bunch of manuscripts from her uncle, not only from the Snow Wolf Country, but also from the Central Empire and the Feather Country.
For this reason, she also deliberately asked Samuel to pay a high price to dig up two small documents with no background from Silas's clerical office as translators, and opened up a separate place for these foreign manuscripts.
On the deserted second floor at this time, there are these printed manuscripts, which are divided into categories, including hardcover drawings and simple public editions.
Luna could already predict that in the days to come, the deserted second floor would definitely become the backbone of the entire bookstore.
Not only that, but she even planned to wait for a few days and when the family wealth was rich again, she would search for some "cultural people" who were in the middle of the family and write about it, and even how to divide it, Luna had thought about it.
It is impossible to say that in another hundred and eighty years, there will be some literary masterpieces in this big wave, and they will be given by later generations to ideas that even the original author does not know, and they will be passed on.
What's more, in a few years, if there is a scholar who has lost his conscience and invents an exam or something, he will be able to excerpt and pit students.
Just as Luna was holding a glass of juice and looking forward to the distant future, a familiar and unfamiliar whimper suddenly came from downstairs.
"Jack!" Luna sprang out of her chair and rushed downstairs, she had never heard Jack cry so badly.
Downstairs, Jack had already thrown himself into Samuel's arms and was crying, muttering, "Uncle, quick, go and save Big Brother Barry! and Timmy!
"Jack, Jack, what's going on?" Luna rushed downstairs, pushed aside the crowd of onlookers, and scooped Jack's head out of Samuel's arms.
At this time, Jack's face was full of panic, and his eyes were a little lost, it was obvious that he was frightened, and then looked at his dirt and the clothes on his back that were torn by sharp claws.
Luna's face suddenly turned cold, and there was a fierce flash in her eyes, and she turned her head sharply to look at Hunter, who was obviously at a loss, "What's the matter?"
"Your Highness atoned for your sins, someone outside the city has become a half-beast, and I flew back with Your Highness. Hunter hurriedly bowed down to admit his mistake, but he didn't dare to say anything, halfway Jack struggled too much, his clothes were torn, and he almost threw Jack out of the air.
As soon as the three words of semi-beast came out, Luna didn't understand what was going on, but she listened to a series of gasps coming from all around, and she was originally holding Jack, but she had already found that this thing was frightened, and Samuel, who was a little crying and laughing, had a change in complexion.
"Your Excellency, this secret guard, you have to come with me. If the human has completely become a half-beast, you need to go with you and directly call the soldiers who defend the city. ”
Ortos, the sheriff who was originally just here to socialize, squeezed out of the crowd directly, walked in front of Samuel, and looked at Hunter after the words fell.
"Before I brought His Highness back, that person was indeed half-beast, but he hadn't attacked yet. Moreover, the two young masters of the Baroness de Sicia's family and Young Master Raphael are also outside the city. Hunter also knew the seriousness of the matter, did not dare to delay, and quickly gave an answer.
"Who in our family is outside the city?" Fleming, who had not come down upstairs, also rushed down and grabbed Hunter.
"It's Master Anthony. ”
"Luna, take Jack, and you go back to the royal court at once, and I'll go with Artos. Knowing that there were half-beasts outside the city, and there were still those little guys, Samuel didn't dare to delay any longer, and directly pulled Jack, who was holding him, out of his arms and threw it to Luna.
"I'll go with you, too. Fleming summoned his attendant, and with a few words of advice, he quickly caught up with Samuel and the sheriff, who had already walked out of the door of the bookstore.
Seeing that one and two were gone, Luna hadn't figured out what the situation was about the half-beast, but seeing Samuel, Fleming, and the sheriff all looking like they were waiting for each other, she knew that things were not small.
Although she was also worried about the three people outside the city, when she heard that the city defense was going to be called, she knew that she couldn't help, so she was ready to obediently take Jack back to the royal court first.
However, Jack didn't cooperate with Luna at all, seeing Samuel and the others walking out, his face was still at a loss a moment ago, and Jack, who was crying and sobbing, raised his hand to wipe his face, and then shook off Luna and chased out the door.
