Emmanuelle is an apprentice mage who lives in the 4th arrondissement of Nicaro and makes a living teaching students a variety of knowledge. Fastest updates

These people, like those mage apprentices in the third district of Cárdenas, have no hope of becoming black-robed mages themselves, so they concentrate on imparting knowledge in exchange for money to live a more prosperous life. And because Nicaro was more prosperous than Cárdenas, and had connections between two mage schools, Mannheim and Nicarro, these mage apprentices had a much better business and more practitioners than their peers in Cárdenas, and Emmanuelle was one of them.

Emmanuel's fees were fairly or cheaply charged among the mage apprentices in the Fourth District, so his pupils were mainly the children of craftsmen.

Duke is one of them.

This sixteen-year-old boy with yellow hair and a pockmarked child on the left side of his face is not from a wealthy family, and his main source of income is his father, who works as a blacksmith.

It was not easy for his father to be able to provide for him to go to school at Emmanuelle, and it was obvious that he could no longer expect such a luxury as books to provide him, so looking at the book on his classmate Jeff's desk, Duke couldn't hide his envy.

This is the living room of Mr. Emmanuelle's house, and it is also the place where they take classes.

These students from poor backgrounds cherish the opportunity to study more than the children of wealthy businessmen, so even though there is still some time to leave the class, several students have already arrived.

"Did your father buy it for you?"

Duke asked, but his eyes didn't take off the book spread out on the table in front of Jeff, and his feet subconsciously stepped over to Jeff's side.

Now I can see it more clearly.

This is indeed a book, and it is also a teaching book of the old language!

The page that opens has an ancient pattern, unconventional, boxy, and next to it are annotated with a number of lingua franca, explaining the meaning of this ancient language in great detail.

These are not the most surprising to Duke, the most surprising thing is that the lingua franca used as annotations on this page is also the standard writing, there is no trace of scribbling, the strokes are very clear, and what is even more terrifying is that the size of each lingua franca letter is almost the same size!

This looks very comfortable, and you don't have to worry about not being able to see clearly or misseeing.

Although the book does not look very thick, only a few dozen pages at most, but the copying is so fine, the book is obviously expensive, especially since this is a book with ancient annotations, and the price is even more unthinkable.

So without waiting for Jeff to answer, Duke couldn't help but ask, "This book must be expensive, right?"

Jeff glanced back at Duke, said "um", and said, "My father bought it for me." "But I didn't say how much it would cost.

Duke was intrigued by the price, and kept guessing, "Let me guess how much this book costs, 30 silver narls, 32 silver narls, or 35 silver narls?......

Duke said, his face full of envy.

Originally, he and Jeff had similar grades in ancient languages, but now with this book, I believe that Jeff will surpass him in the learning of ancient languages.

But Duke immediately thought of it again, and immediately looked excited, his eyes fixed on Jeff and asked, "Can you lend me this book to transcribe?"

Facing Duke's expectant eyes, Jeff hesitated for a moment, looked left and right, and finally poked his head over, put his mouth to Duke's ear, and said softly: "You can ask your father to buy you a copy too, it's very cheap, only 5 silver narls a copy." ”

5 silver narls is not a number that can be described as "very cheap" for Duke's family, after all, the old Duke earns about 20 silver nars a month as a blacksmith, but compared with this book, it can indeed be said to be very cheap.

No, it should be very cheap, unbelievably cheaper, so cheap than expected, so much so that Duke was stunned and looked at Jeff blankly, feeling that the other party was lying to himself.

"How is it possible to have five silver narls?"

Jeff looked at Duke with a look of disbelief, and looked at himself with an expression of "if you don't want to borrow it from me, forget it", he was a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "It's true, it's really only 5 silver nars! It's at the end of Mande Street, where a new store has opened, called Nikaheim Bookstore, which specializes in selling books, and I also bought this book in it, really only 5 silver nars!"

Seeing that Jeff even said the specific name and location of the store, Duke was not suspicious, but suspicious, but his heart was pounding.

Could it be that this book really costs only 5 silver narr?......

Duke had been thinking about this for a long time, so much so that he was rarely unable to take today's class seriously, and after the class, he directly asked Jeff to lead the way, and the two of them ran to the bookstore that Jeff said.

When they arrived, Duke believed Jeff almost completely, for he did see a sign reading "Nickahim's Bookstore" hanging on the top of the street not far from the two of them. Of course, what made Duke believe more was the scene in front of the store.

I saw that this "Nikhaheim bookstore" was crowded with people, and people had already crowded outside, and the streets were full of people, and the traffic was inconvenient, and they couldn't cross the street now.

"Damn it, get out of the way!"

"Don't squeeze!"

"Ahh

"Let me go, I'm going to come out!"

......

The people outside wanted to squeeze in, the people inside wanted to squeeze out, the scene became a pot of porridge, shouting and noise filled the whole space, and I felt buzzing and my head hurt if I didn't get close.

People who don't know came to see it, and thought that Jintalan was being sent here.

"I didn't have so many people when I came yesterday ......"

Jeff was startled by the sight and involuntarily took a step back.

Duke looked at the scene in front of him, silent, and his eyes gradually lit up.

Looking at this situation, Jeff should be right, there are incredibly cheap books for sale here, which is why it attracts so many people.

I shouldn't be able to squeeze in today, but maybe I can explain the situation to my father, and then ask my father for some silver, and come here early tomorrow morning, maybe I can buy a super cheap old language annotated book like Jeff, and I believe my father will agree.

The only thing that is uncertain is that I don't know if this bookstore will have such cheap books for sale tomorrow, maybe only for these two days, and then there will be no tomorrow, after all, no matter how you look at it, selling such exquisite books at that price is completely at a loss, and I don't know how long this store can last.

These people at the door of the store should think this way now, which is why they are so desperately crowded here, just because they are afraid that there will be no such special book when they come tomorrow.

After thinking about this for a while, Duke saw a man in green in the store squeeze to the door with great difficulty, and hung a sign on the top, only to see that it read, "All the books are sold out today, please come back tomorrow, the price remains the same" , and the man also held back his strength and kept shouting the same words outward, but everyone was lucky, and no one moved at all for a while, until the man in green shouted smoke in his voice, and everyone saw that there was indeed no one in it holding a book and squeezing it out, which finally gradually dispersed.
