Chapter 198: Book Purchase

There are many magic book stores in this mage exchange station, and Ciri chooses to go straight to the largest one, because the general store will probably only sell some spell and cultivation magic books that most mages need, and Ciri needs some informational books the most. X

This magic shop in the center of the city is the largest of all its kind, and it is doing a good job, with many beautiful young women guiding customers. As soon as Ciri entered, a girl greeted her.

The girl didn't have any magic in her, she looked like she was just an ordinary person. Instead of wearing a robe and a mask like other mages, she dressed up beautifully. It is impossible for a mage to do everything himself, and there are always some chores that need to be handled by ordinary people, so it is not surprising to see ordinary people in the mage's communication gathering place.

These ordinary people may be family members of certain mages, descendants of some mages from a long time ago, or they may be related to magic for other reasons. Regardless of their origins, once ordinary people in the Divine Grace Realm are associated with magic, the outcome is generally not very good. There will be no place for them in the diocese, and once discovered, only death awaits them. As a result, most of these people followed the mage or migrated to a less regulated place in the New World on their own, or lived a life of poverty incognito and fear, or joined the mage exchange to serve them.

Both lives have their advantages and disadvantages. The former is a bit freer, but also more dangerous, as many adventurers hunt down such people because of the church's bounty, and if they are discovered, they are dead. The latter is safer, because the mage exchange station is located in the New World, where the ecclesiastical forces are much weaker than the single-church diocese because of their mutual containment, and even if they are occasionally found, they are some unlucky individual mages. The mage exchange station is full of eyeliners in the New World, and the small-scale clergy can't beat the many mages in the exchange station, and the large-scale operation will make the mage station aware of it, and then the people will go to the empty building.

The girl smiled at Ciri, "Dear Mr. Mage, I'm Ella, Shopping Guide No. 13. What do you need, our Bejaya Magic Bookstore is very well stocked and is the best seller of magic books in the Lobito Mountain Station. ”

Ciri looked around for a moment, and then said to Ella, "You can call me Master Relin, I'm here mainly to find some language books, a lot of historical materials, mages and the history of the Church of the Gods, as well as some general introduction books to the charismatic realm and common spell books. ”

In any world, books are the main carriers of civilization, no matter what it becomes or what name it changes. Most of the magic books in the Divine Grace Realm are written in lingua franca, but some precious books may be written in various ancient languages. Ciri had already learned some languages, but many things were not available under the jurisdiction of the Church. Therefore, he should collect and learn as many languages as possible, and the language class should also be of high value in the evaluation of the information of the City of the End.

The information collected by the mage should be more complete and truthful, and Ciri bought some spell books from the Divine Grace Realm not to study, but to use them for research.

Ella was a little disappointed after listening to what the young-sounding "Ruilin" mage on the other side said, and they all had a certain share of the books sold. Mage "Ruilin" gave her a very young feeling, like a new mage who had just been introduced to the wizarding world. The books and materials that the other party needs are also very in line with the standards of new mages, and generally this kind of customer does not have much wealth, so it seems that she can't make much money in this business.

However, Ella did not show anything, and dutifully led the "Raylin" mage to start selecting the books he needed. No matter where you are, if you want to do well and grow your business, you can't do without a good service attitude. Ella can win this kind of ordinary person job that is very good in the entire station, and the quality of service itself is naturally excellent, and she will not be slack off at all because of how much customers spend.

However, when Ella arrives with Master Ruilin at the place where the books and materials are being stored, she realizes that her prediction seems to have been wrong. Master "Ruilin" is not just picking out a few things that interest him, as ordinary mages do, or he seems to be interested in all books. The other party started to look through the bookshelf one after another, and then decided to buy the book after just a few quick glances at the introduction.

This "Ruilin" doesn't seem to care about the price of the book at all, and every time he only reads the content of the introduction, he decides whether to buy it or not. It is enough to select some of the books of ordinary reproductions, because the prices of these reproductions are very low. In some areas dedicated to the collection of lone non-magic books, Master Relin also gave Ella a large selection of books. You must know that these lone books actually have no effect on the combat power and cultivation improvement of mages, and they are generally only bought by some high-level mages or when they happen to be used when exploring certain ruins.

It's the first time I've seen someone pick these seemingly useless books in this way.

Soon Ciri was followed by several shopping guides, because he had so many books to choose from, and they were fast. So Ella had to drag a few sisters who usually have a good relationship to share this big business, and several people took turns to deliver the books selected by Ciri to the settlement counter of the big customer.

Now that the total value of Ciri's selection of books is high, Ella and her sisters each get a good share of the money, which makes everyone happy. It seems that this "Ruilin" mage is not the new mage that Ella expected in advance, and perhaps the young voice of the other party is also disguised, which is not uncommon.

When you come to the Spell Books Shopping area, there is a dedicated official mage service staff, after all, ordinary people sometimes can't answer the questions of mages about magic. Standing here waiting for Ciri was not the original service mages, but the head of the shop today--- Master Cindy.

Mage Cindy is a resident of the Exchange Residency, so she doesn't cover her face. She appears to be a mature beauty older than Ciri, with a plump body and a good face. Master Cindy had already received the news that a big customer had come to the store today and had already selected quite a few books. Cindy came over to see if she could persuade the other party to buy as many products as possible in her store, and the amount of sales would also have an impact on the wealth that Cindy could eventually share.

Every mage is very wealthy in the eyes of ordinary people, but in fact there are no "rich people" among mages at all, because they earn wealth easily and have a lot of daily expenses. Mages are always in a state of "poverty" because they always have something they want but can't get.
