Chapter 5: Expensive Books
The hourglass in the hall was only half gone, and Philomena had already woken up, but Muse Ne woke up earlier than her, and was holding the freshly baked breakfast, looking at Philomena who had just pushed it away, Philomena was wearing a loose nightdress, and she didn't even bother to care if the shoulder strap pulley slipped off, and walked out yawning, not even having time to fix her hair, and after walking in front of Muse, she realized that Muse was staring at her, and after a few seconds of silence, she suddenly blushed, exclaimed, and ran back to the room.

But even with her messy hair and sleepy dead fish eyes, Philomena's charm is still amazing, and Muse Ne has her thoughts.
After half a ring, Philomena walked out slowly, changed into her usual clothes, her pretty face was a little crimson, deliberately did not look at Muse, and walked straight towards the table.
"Good morning, Philomena, eat more, I'm a little weak and don't have a very good appetite. Muse said hello.
"Hmm... You eat too. Philomena rarely made a face, and her eyes moved to the wall, not daring to look at Muse.
Although they have lived together for so long, Philomena's sloppy image was seen by Muse for the first time, and for a while, Philomena had the idea of finding a hole to get into.
"Since we all live together, it's easier to get used to some things as soon as possible, isn't it?" said Musene, with a laugh.
"I don't need you to say it, I understand, but I didn't expect you to get up so early, and I didn't prepare for it in advance. Philomena's face turned even redder, although such things may be commonplace in the future for cohabitation, but Philomena was still a little uncomfortable, it seemed that this was the first time that a boy had seen it, and it was false to say that she was not flustered.
After a hasty breakfast, Philomena went out, standing in front of the door, Philomena paused, and then said without looking back: "I may come back later tonight, if the night is dark, I haven't come back yet, you can eat first." ”
Muse was stunned and wanted to say something, but Philomena was about to disappear at the deserted intersection, and Muse sighed, feeling a strong uneasiness in her heart.
Wearing a thick coat and going out, Philomena did not run in the direction of the construction site, but walked towards the downtown area.
The downtown is probably the busiest part of the town of Hader, with a wide variety of shops and most of the chambers of commerce, so if you have something you want, you can buy it here, and conversely, if you can't buy something here, you may not be able to buy it anywhere else.
It's still very early, and the downtown is already popular, and it is worthy of being the most lively area in the town.
After looking around, Philomena walked towards a shop marked with a sword and shield intersecting pattern, and as soon as she entered, she smelled a strong smell of iron, and was greeted by rows of swords hanging on the wall.
"What are you going to buy? I can introduce you to your favorite weapon at your request. The little brother in front of the door showed a commercial smile.
"It's not very demanding, as long as you can cut through the leather armor of the monster. ”
"Slash the Monster... I see, it's the swordsman, please go this way, the weapons outside don't meet these requirements. When the little brother heard this, his tone carried a hint of awe.
"You don't need a high-end weapon, as long as you can cut through the leather armor of the demonic beast. Philomena seemed to see that the boy had misunderstood, and could only emphasize her request again.
"Are you sure, although the weapons outside can also cut through the leather armor of the demonic beast, but that is under the premise of requiring the blessing of fighting energy, and the more advanced weapon can easily break through the leather armor of the demonic beast with the sharpness of the weapon. ”
Philomena's brow furrowed imperceptibly, of course she understood the meaning of entertaining the little brother.
To put it bluntly, it is that the level of their fighting spirit is too low, and their own fighting spirit can only be used as a hole card in a battle, and a small amount of fighting energy means that there are only a few opportunities to hurt the Warcraft, and without the Fighting Qi, it is difficult to seriously injure the Warcraft with a rough weapon, and it is also common for one to die in the wasteland if one is not careful.
"Pick the right one. ”
The receptionist nodded with a wry smile, indicating that he understood what Philomena meant, although his move was goodwill, but it was more just to do the duty of an usher and he didn't want Philomena to run back to find trouble for himself after being pitted by a rough weapon, since the other party knew the stakes of the matter, and insisted on doing so, then he had nothing to say.
Although there are some gaps in the weapons outside, they are only subtle, and after Philomena picked a long sword casually, she asked the price,
"Five silver coins. ”
"Uhh Philomena's cold face showed a fleeting pain in her flesh, and she was secretly glad that she hadn't chosen a higher-level weapon.
Walking out of the shop, Philomena patted her face that was frozen purple, and her playful face had a resolute look, like a soldier who was about to go to battle, and still moved forward decisively in the face of the uncertain future.
Walking out of the gates of the small town, it was already much brighter, and after eating a little dry cake, Philomena's still sleepy spirit dispelled a lot, and walked towards the forest.
One side of the shop...
"It's a pity for that girl, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back when I go out this time. The old man behind the door was a little regretful, he was hiding in the corner and was covered by the dark light, and from beginning to end, Philomena found that there were people there,
He saw everything in his eyes, but he did not stop Philomena's actions, this is human nature, a conscience that expresses a sigh for the dead, but also has a cold-blooded hand that will not lend a hand.
"With these crude weapons, even a second-level swordsman with fighting spirit will be buried in the forest nine times out of ten..."
"Looks like you agree with me. ”
"No, I'd rather the girl would come back. The hostess shook his head.
"Why, do you think there is such a genius in this little place, even if she is the son of the viscount!" the old man looked in the distance, and at the end of his gaze was the mansion where the Muse once lived, and even when he talked about the nobles, he still spoke in a disapproving tone.
"It's just a gut feeling. The little brother walked to the door and waved his hand.
・・・・
Muse looked at the night that was completely dark, and after all, he was still a little uneasy, changed into a thick coat, and just wanted to go out, but the door was pushed open first.
"What do you want to do?" Philomena, who opened the door, saw that Muse looked like she was about to go out, and her eyes suddenly became cold, even if it was covered with wind and snow outside, it was not as strong as the oppression given by these eyes.
"You're a little worried that you didn't come back so late. Muse took a step back and quickly explained. He always had the feeling that Philomena was thinking something bad.
"Even if you still have a little conscience, but don't do anything when you go out, so that I don't have to go to the snow to find you again when I come back from a day's work. Philomena shook her head.
"Yet, don't talk about that, I'll go and heat up the dishes first, and then let's eat together." As soon as Muse Nee talked about this unforgettable pain, he would change the subject, and he had already decided that he must embark on a swordsman's journey in the future to get rid of this weak body.
"Wait a minute, there are three catties of beef here, you can take it by the way, remember to save some for later." Philomena grabbed Muse and handed her a bag.
For some reason, Muse, who was pulled, was stunned and didn't catch the bag handed by Philomena.
"What's the matter, are you happy to have meat?" Philomena thought Musene was overwhelmed by the beef.
Musene's lazy eyes became serious, and she suddenly grabbed Philomena's hand holding the beef, but Philomena's reaction was a step quicker, and she withdrew her hand first.
As a result of the futility, Muse Ne did not have any surprises, looking at Philomena, who had always had a gentle smile in the past, gradually retracted: "What's wrong with your hand?"
In the past, when Philomena pulled Musene, Muse seemed to be pulled by an iron rope and could only be at her mercy, but this time, Muse found that he actually pulled Philomena over, which was simply impossible.
Philomena looked at Musene and tried to get out of the way, but found that she couldn't open her mouth, and her cold eyes seemed to see through what she was thinking.
"It's nothing, it's just going to hunt Warcraft. Philomena said in as calm a tone as she could.
But Muse still heard a vague horror, a horror that people always bring when talking about the past that they don't want to recall.
Muse blamed herself and grabbed Philomena's wrist, this time, Philomena didn't dodge, let Muse hold it, and tied up Philomena's sleeve, revealing a hideous claw mark: "Is it because of the book I said yesterday?"
"It's just a little injury, it's good to rest. Philomena said quickly.
Muse smiled bitterly, this is just a small injury? It's all cut to the major arteries, okay, if it wasn't for the early stop of bleeding, Philomena might not really be able to come back. Thinking of this, Muse Ne was a little afraid, if Philomena really couldn't come back, what crazy thing would she do?
"Don't do these things in the future, you can rest for a while, and I'll cook." After leaving these words, Muse went to the kitchen in a lonely manner.
At this moment, he is like an old man, yielding and unwilling to reality, but he can only watch everything happen powerlessly.
The meal was better than yesterday, but neither of them had the joy of last night, but when they were eating, this time they were replaced by Muses to light the fire, and the whole night, neither of them spoke much.
After taking a shower, Muse went back to his room with the culprit for all this, and looked at the "Battle of Rouen" written in the lingua franca of the road on the gorgeous cover in his hand, and he even had the urge to tear the book apart, but fortunately reason still prevailed, and if he did, then Philomena's desperate efforts would not be in vain.
The flesh and blood of a whole demonic beast, even including the value of the demon core, was exchanged for this book, and if it was converted into gold coins, there might be two, equivalent to two hundred silver coins, and the price could no longer be described as luxurious.
Opening the book in his hand, Muse was shocked, and at this moment, he finally understood why this book was so expensive.
