"Your idea is not unreasonable," Lester said against his will, secretly guiding the direction of the chat, "But if I don't read the contents, how do I know this book...... Uh, I mean books, is there any value in acquiring them?"

"I think you should know that not all items with magical fluctuations are valuable, especially books used to record knowledge, and whether they are good or bad on the outside is meaningless. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"You don't let you watch the content before you buy it anywhere else, why did you do the opposite?"

As soon as this is mentioned, Bach has a stomach full of grievances that he can't vent, if he can see the content before buying, even if he roughly browses it, he will not be this "wronged leader".

"There shouldn't be such rules, right, where are you talking about?"

Although Leicester could not say that he knew all the magic shops in the imperial capital, he had rarely heard of them, but it was the first time he had heard of the rules that Bach said.

"Morning Meeting ......"

"You bought this notebook from the morning meeting?"

This answer really surprised Lester, so much so that he, who had been paying attention to the content of the conversation, also unconsciously leaked his breath.

"No, of course not," Bach hurriedly circled: "I have been to the morning meeting before, and it has nothing to do with books, this book is passed down from my ancestor, he is a powerful mage......"

"Hey, wait, what do you say it is, Note?"

Bach, who was making up the origin of the book in his hand, suddenly discovered that Lester called the book differently, and he subconsciously clenched the book in his hand a little, and had doubts about the value of the book in his heart:

"Notes" and "books" don't refer to the same thing, although this book doesn't seem like a homemade note at all, but a worthless travelogue printed in alchemy, but as a shopkeeper and a low-level mage, the other party can't admit that he is wrong, so ......

"Did he say it wrong, or did he really see something in it that I hadn't been able to discover?"

Bach pondered in his mind, and the conversation returned to silence again.

"If there really is a secret that I haven't discovered, then this book is definitely not a simple travelogue. ”

Bach, who began to work for a living at the age of seven, said that although he had little knowledge, he was definitely not stupid, and he still understood the truth that the empty box was not locked.

"Then you can take a look, and by the way, help me estimate the price. ”

Xu wanted to find out more information from the other party, but Bach was no longer obsessed with concealing the contents of the book, but generously handed the book to Lester.

"Of course, you can rest assured, the purchase price of our store is definitely the fairest in the imperial capital. ”

The waiter smiled kindly, but there was an indescribable anger in his heart, he had intended to use the low value as an excuse to excuse himself, and then take it himself in the other party's pleas or sophistry, but now he ......

He didn't explain his slip of the tongue, because it didn't make any sense, but it would only increase the suspicion of the other party.

It's better to ignore it first, as it is now, and then find a way to cover up the past without a trace.

Taking the note from the other party, Lester glanced blankly at the crystal chandelier hanging in the middle of the hall.

It was the most valuable item in this room, because the large piece of crystal that was used to illuminate and wrap the alchemy flame was all "photo crystals" that had been reprocessed by alchemy.

The combination of lighting and documentary image, without affecting each other's functions, and giving it the greatest possible disguise, is a testament to the owner's alchemy level from this work alone.

Lester knew something about the shopkeeper's level of alchemy, so he didn't have the slightest doubt about the function of the chandelier hanging overhead.

In other words, he knew that his every move would be recorded in the photo crystal, waiting for the shopkeeper to check it at any time.

In this case, you can't do anything that is even out of the ordinary, otherwise you ......

Lester hid his murderous intent and focused his attention on the contents of the Codex.

"This ...... It doesn't seem to be much like an inherited item. ”

Pointing to the footprints, creases, and dust on the codex, Lester said with just the right expression of regret.

"The family is down, you can give an estimate. ”

Bach coped casually, his cold words were gone, and there was no longer the promise he had just made.

The reason for his change of attitude is very simple, just now he wanted to sell as many books or notes as he could, and now he doesn't want to sell anymore.

Maybe without those dozen silver coins, his life would be difficult in the near future, but if there was any secret in the book that he didn't discover, then he would lose the only chance to change his fate by selling the book.

So he is not afraid of Lester's ridicule, and only pays attention to whether the other party will reveal more information in the sarcastic words.

What Bach didn't know, however, was that his so-called opportunity to change his fate had long since been lost at his fingertips, and in Mephistopheles's eyes, his value had fallen from a spoiler to an outcast.

"I'm sorry, but it doesn't meet our store's acquisition criteria. ”

After just a cursory flip through it, Lester handed the note back to the other party, not to mention the "reluctance" that Bach was looking forward to, and he was unwilling to bet even a little more attention.

"Why not, you have to give me an explanation, right?"

Bach's voice was still cold, and his words were a little aggressive.

He and the general public are at two extremes: ordinary people who don't know anything about mages will demonize or mythologize those mysterious spellcasters out of fear and longing, while half-magicians like Bach will always subconsciously ignore the horror of mages out of jealousy and superiority.

Therefore, if you want to know that the notes are hidden, Bach has completely lost the restraint and caution of the past, and has no idea that he is no different from a dead man in the other party's heart.

"I thought it would be a mage's experience notes on his own experiences or some knowledge," Lester patiently explained, "I didn't expect it to be just a travelogue alchemy book, and it didn't meet the acquisition criteria of our shop, so we couldn't make this deal between us." ”

"Maybe you can check out other stores," Lester kindly reminded, "The material of this book is still recyclable, maybe they will be interested." ”

"Hmph," Bach, who heard the other party's answer, snorted coldly in his heart: "I said it was a note just now, but now it has become a book, and I said that it has recycling value, don't you just want to buy it from me at a low price, dream!"

After taking the book that belonged to him, Bach, who was angry in his heart, turned away directly.

However, with his back to Lester, he didn't see the other man's seemingly subconscious habit - the thumb belly rubbed a few times on the ring worn in the middle of the index finger......
