"What do you want to sell?"

Although he was very disdainful, due to his current status and good upbringing, Lester still maintained a friendly and friendly smile. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the Tavern of the Sleeper is a magic shop that sells for profit, that doesn't mean it won't buy something valuable to expand its reach.

However, because of the backing of a master alchemist, the store has extremely high requirements for items that can be acquired, rather than anything that has a little magic fluctuation like other down-and-out shops.

With the other party's shabby dress and restrained appearance, it really doesn't look like a person who can come up with goods that meet the store's requirements.

Although he was impatient, Lester's current status was after all a waiter in the store, so it was naturally impossible for him to do anything to drive away or taunt customers.

Not to mention just a "hyena" who wants to try his luck, even those children who are extremely curious about magic and come to ask questions all day long, he has to be kind to them.

"Sale...... Ah, yes, sell ......"

The strange guest, who was shrouded in a cloak, muttered incoherently, and only after Lester's reminder did he remember to pull out a notebook about three fingers thick from the cloak.

"My name is Lester, forgive me for taking the liberty of calling me?"

"Bach. ”

After a short conversation, the two, who didn't really want to continue talking, fell silent with each other.

Lester looked at the notes held in his hand, and the amazement in his heart flashed.

"It's definitely a study codex of some master. ”

The waiter is very confident in his own judgment, because both from the way the binding is done and from the texture of the writer's self-design on the cover, the codex has a strong Lionheart Empire style.

Through psychic detection, Lester could perceive a certain spiritual blending, as well as the breath of time hidden in the Codex.

This sense of stale and heaviness is difficult for any imitator to achieve, except for worn-out at any cost.

"How could anyone do anything to make a fake," the young man was amused by his thoughts, "and looking for a mage worthy of a shopkeeper to shoot, and with some precious materials, it may be able to barely achieve this effect." It costs tens of thousands, how can there be such a stupid person. ”

"What's more, the mage does not favor ancient books, but thirsts for the knowledge recorded on them, and the appearance of falsification is worthless. ”

Glancing blankly at Bach hidden under his cloak, Lester's gaze returned to the notebook that had itched him.

"Can I take a closer look?"

The mage tried to suppress the excitement in his heart, and it took a lot of effort to hide it, so that the inquiring sentence did not reveal his urgency.

There is no way, only those who are eager for knowledge know how difficult it is to obtain knowledge.

Lester knew that his qualifications were only moderate, and if he didn't accumulate enough knowledge, he might not have much hope of peering into the scenery on the other side of the "wall of elements" in his life.

Compared to knights, mages are more likely to hit the gold rank, but unlike knights who focus on the comprehension of elements when they advance to the higher ranks, whether a mage can advance to the gold rank is more dependent on qualifications, which is the so-called affinity.

With a strong affinity with the elements, it is naturally easier to perceive their inner nature and comprehend the use of the elements, while with a weak affinity, unless they have mastered some kind of knowledge that can be called "secret transmission", they have basically cut off the hope of advanced gold.

Lester's family is only a newly promoted glorious nobleman, so naturally there is no secret inheritance that has been passed down, whether it is about magic, or the relatively common secret legend about fighting spirit, it is not a luxury for him.

Although the number of books available for borrowing provided by the owner is abundant and comprehensive, they are all basic knowledge, and there is nothing wrong with using them to lay a solid foundation.

"This ......"

Bach's attitude was a little vague, he knew that the other party's request was very reasonable, but he did not want to agree, because he could not guarantee that the other party would not react the same way after reading the contents of the book as he had done the other day.

He still wants to sell the book at the original price, and of course he doesn't want his income to be affected by the content of the book.

"No way?"

Lester's tone rose slightly, and the corners of his eyes swept over Bach's clenched notes, and his nose let out a short, rapid breath.

Lester learned this maneuver from his father, and it doesn't reveal his true emotions and creates a sense of urgency that the negotiations could end at any moment.

"What if you write it down," Bach explained in a panic as he casually found a reason, "I mean...... Magic, yes, mnemonics, I know this spell, don't you try to fool me!"

Bach, who had been submissive, gradually gained self-confidence with his own justification, and he felt that the spell he had just devised was so miraculous that a short-sighted shopkeeper like Lester had never heard of it.

However, the impassioned Mr. Bach seemed to have forgotten that in his perception, the waiter he had just called "Master" was also an official mage, and it was conceivable that the other party was definitely not a parallel commodity like Bach who could only play tricks.

"You mean 'memory rerecording'?"

Bach's pretending to be an expert not only did not convince Lester, but made him look down on him a little again, a guy who can't even remember the names of basic spells can't be a real mage.

"A true mage would never say such a thing," Lester said to himself, "Any mage's codex will be written in the 'Kargella style', thus eliminating all logical memorization. ”

"Not to mention the restrictive magic of 'memory rerecording', even if you use recording crystals for image storage, you will only see a jumble of words, which is of no use at all. ”

"If you want to really understand the words written in the codex, you can only translate them bit by bit in 'Feregna', which is not a task that can be done in a moment. ”

However, there is no need to say these words to the other party, on the contrary, it is necessary to try to conceal them.

Through their exchanges and self-guessing, Lester estimated that the other party mistook the gemstone for gravel because he did not know the "Kargella style" and "Feregna".

The reason why he was prevented from reading the contents of the Codex was probably because he was afraid that he would not buy the book after seeing those records that were "not of the slightest value".

"That's right, that's what you're called. ”

As Lester pondered, the hard-mouthed Bach continued to defend himself as if he were a legendary mage with great knowledge.

Lester, who came to his senses, was quite unhappy with his nonsense, but he didn't have time to care about such a trivial matter.

For him, the priority is to get the notes in the guy's hand, and as for the rest, it is all trivial.
