For the aristocracy, the ball was a very daily time, and if you really wanted to play, Nicaro had a ball every day, the only difference was the size of the ball, the people invited, etc.

Today in a large mansion in the 2nd arrondissement, there is a ball going on.

Today's ball was held by Baron Gergill of Mannheim, the green-haired student who had been scared incontinent by Norman with an ice dagger at the freshmen's assembly.

When he was in school, limited to the school rule of "only students, no nobles", Gegil was just a one-star black-robed mage, who disappeared from the vast public, but in the world, he was the son of Marquis Green, which is why he was able to entangle a group of people to surround Norman, and he was able to borrow so many fine full-body armor.

Now Gegil changed into a glass sequinned evening gown, and wandered around the venue with a glass of wine, smiling and moaning, and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Is there anything good today?"

A man who was also covered in sequins stopped him and asked, "It's been rare to see you smile so happily lately." ”

This person is not wrong, Gergil has been frightened by a freshman at the freshman assembly for nearly a month, but he has lost face among the old students, and was laughed at by some of the original enemies, and then he failed to take revenge, but he made himself disgraced, and even more embarrassed, and almost became a laughing stock in their small circle, so naturally he was sullen all day long, and he hadn't appeared at all kinds of balls for a long time, but he didn't expect to hold a party in person today.

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he didn't say much, and directly said the reason why he was so happy today, "There is indeed a good thing that happened, I just collected a hardcover version of the Holy Book today, and the copyists are first-class." ”

The questioner was stunned for a moment, and repeated, "A set of holy scriptures?"

Gegill nodded, and also emphasized proudly: "It's still a hardcover version, the copying is first-class, a complete set, almost every letter is exactly the same size, and the copy is neat." And I've read four of them, and I haven't found anything wrong or missing until now. ”

The man was stunned.

The "Holy Codex" is extremely long, and now the great nobles and churches treasure it, which is basically a set of 100 copies, and it is very troublesome to copy, so the price is naturally very high, if there is no omission, it will basically cost about 30 Quintalaan, even for the nobles is not a small amount, so generally only those big nobles and churches will have a complete set of copies.

For example, the marquis's father of Gegil has a complete set at home, but it is his father's, and now Gegil also has a complete set, which is not simple. And if it was true as Gergil had said, his set of Sacred Texts would have been more expensive than the complete set of Sacred Texts treasured by his marquisal father.

So the man was stunned for a long time before he said, "You are really rich." According to you, your set of holy texts is worth a lot of money, and you shouldn't be able to take 30 quintalans, so how much did you spend, 40 quintalans, or 50?"

When it came to this number, the noble young master was a little frightened.

50 Quintalan is also a lot of money for a small nobleman like them, and the key depends on what is purchased.

If you spend 50 quintalan on the purchase of houses and real estate, it is acceptable for these nobles, and it is not expensive, but if it is spent on the purchase of the Holy Scriptures, it is really expensive.

It's a bit like in the world of Earth, spending a million to buy a house seems acceptable to many people, but if you spend a million to buy a watch, it's definitely something that only a rich man can do.

And now, this aristocratic young master looked at Gegil like this.

Gegil obviously enjoyed this look, smiled with satisfaction, and said with a satisfied expression: "No, I only spent 3 Quintalans." ”

"It's 3 Quintaran, you're really rich......"

The aristocratic young master subconsciously followed Gegil's words, but after finishing speaking, he realized that something was wrong, his eyes froze suddenly, and he stared at Gegil and asked hurriedly: "What did you say, 3 Quintalan?"

Gegil grinned, smiling like a spiny dragon that had eaten 10 cows in one night, not to mention how proud he was, "Yes." ”

Buying something of such a high value at such a low price is a huge advantage, which is equivalent to making thirty-four quintalans at once, which is the real reason why Gegil is so happy today.

And the aristocratic young master was confused and couldn't believe it.

How is this possible? If the "Holy Codex" were so cheap, the nobles would have already had a set of them, right? Moreover, Gegil also said that the copy of the "Holy Codex" was extremely good, so it was even more impossible for it to be so cheap, after all, you get what you pay for, how can it be that the goods are exquisite and the price is cheaper? How can there be such a stupid merchant in the world?......

"How can it be so cheap?"

The aristocratic young master shook his head, resolutely disbelieving, "Where did you buy it?"

He was sure that Gergil was lying to him, but Gergil gave the specific location, "There's a shop called 'Nikaheim', in the fourth arrondissement, you can try your luck again tomorrow, but I don't think there will be any more deals like this." Gegil also said his own inference, "This store is newly opened, and such a low price can only be that they deliberately reduced the price in order to let more people know about them, and it won't be supported for long, at most it will be in these two days." ”

Gergil was able to gather a group of people around him, obviously not a pure straw bag, but still had some opinions of his own.

"But I have to say that the owner of this shop really doesn't have a lot of brains. Books are originally unprofitable commodities, and they lost so much money as soon as they opened, although many people knew about them, but they didn't know how long it would take to earn them back. ”

The aristocratic young master also nodded in agreement, but he thought about the shop that Gegil said, and made up his mind to send someone over to take a look tomorrow, if there is such a cheap "Holy Scripture", then no matter what, he has to grab a set, and it will be a capital to show off at home in the future!

After all, there are only a handful of young aristocratic children like them who can own a set of "Holy Scriptures" on their own, which is a status symbol and a weapon used to compare and show off.

And Gergil, after chatting with him for a while, went somewhere else, and continued to boast that he had a complete set of Holy Texts, and after gaining everyone's surprise and envy, he also spread the news of Nikhaim.

And such a scene also happened in many places of Nikalo, and those who took advantage of the sweetness of cheap books, or unconsciously, spread the name of Nikkaheim.
