Driven by the driving force of human nature, Giannis's movements are faster than Xia Zuo expected.

Early the next morning, before the hustle and bustle of last night's drinking party had dissipated, Jennis hurriedly ran to Xia Zuo to report the good news, and he asked a relationship to buy a full set of mining and smelting equipment from a nearby mine in the name of buying scrap products, and of course, in order to bypass the necessary registration and checks, he paid the other party a high hush money for several complete sets of equipment.

There are a total of 12,000 gold coins in the full set, and Jennis will not deceive Xia Zuo about this, and even in order to show his sincerity for the cooperation that is about to start, he also forcibly felt sorry for himself and put on a little bit of it.

Although his heart was dripping blood, Xia Zuo still pretended to be hearty on his face, and without hesitation, he casually gave the golden ticket worth 13,000 to Jennis, and asked Buman to accompany him to inspect the escort.

When Xia Zuo asked the old man Griffin where he could find information and books on architecture in this area, he was immediately ridiculed by the old man, "This is the place where the noble lords of Salnia lived, how can those noble lords read books only by such humble craftsmen as how to build castle houses?" ”

The mocking tone was clearly dissatisfied with the nobles who had let him fall into such a field, and after a slight silence, he introduced Xia Zuo, "Go to the Champs-Elysées! where you will find what you are looking for." ”

The morning breeze still carries the smell of last night's water, mixed with the smell of fresh horse manure and plants, and the Champs-Elysées that old Griffin spoke of is not in the bustling district of Sarnia, but in the corner of the city, deep in a winding alleyway, not at all as elegant and beautiful as the name sounds.

After asking along the way, I don't know how many times he got lost, Xia Zuo finally found the destination of this trip in the spider-like alleys and corners.

The narrow, muddy path was full of black, smelly water, and from time to time wild cats and dogs scurried by, carrying food dragged out of the garbage heap, and a black wooden board hung from the stone wall on the left, and it took a little bit of eye and guesswork to barely make out the words Champs-Elysées from the vague outline.

After a few tattered steps, Xia Zuo finally found the shop that old Griffin had said, and the plaque of the shop had already been corroded for the most part, and only one book was still faintly visible.

The wooden door of the shop was empty, covered with mottled paint and black greasy dirt, and there was a squeaky sound in the swaying, and there were two huge bonsai dotted on both sides of the door, but unfortunately the poor little saplings inside had already dried up into specimens.

Books are very precious in the Rubble Wasteland and even the entire Campas Empire, and most of the Compas, which do not produce paper, use animal skins instead of paper, and only the royal family and the races and tribes with rich assets can afford to use such luxury items.

Here, though, it's clear that books are treated in a completely different way.

Pushing open the sticky wooden door, a fishy smell that was as fast as an ogre almost overturned Xia Zuo, leaving him with leftover bones, empty wine bottles, mountains of garbage, and filthy stagnant water, with little place to stay.

There were even a few wild cats looking for today's breakfast in it, and when they saw Xia Zuo come in, they erected their hair all over their bodies and quickly jumped out of the door with a scream.

A bald, yellow-bearded old man, who was supposed to be the owner of the shop, was lying asleep in the garbage heap with a dark green rum bottle the size of a human head, his dull snoring echoing in the small space, rubbing his crotch from time to time, and making a low murmur and a lewd laugh.

"Boss, a guest is here!" Xia Zuo frowned and whispered to the unremarkable old man in the garbage heap.

The sound of a vindictive urge, like a thunderbolt, was enough to wake up a sleeping drunkard.

But the old man just turned over in a daze, and opened his eyes dimly, among which the left eye should have been traumatized, and there was only a dead ash in the dull pupils, and the dim right eye flashed with a stunned light and looked Xia Zuo up and down, as if wondering how this little boy could come to this place.

The thick greasy palm pointed unhappily to the closed wooden door next to him, "Do you want to buy a book?"

"Heh" Xia Zuo couldn't help but chuckle, he really had never seen such a business, ordinary bosses were eager for guests to come to the door, how could this person be so impatient. Ignoring it, he stepped forward and pushed open the small closed wooden door.

"Crunch" The pitch-black wooden door is not known to be made of, even with Xia Zuo's current strength, he can't help but feel a little heavy in his hands when he pushes the door, and as the small door unfolds, a thick ink fragrance comes to his face.

The inside of the shop was unexpectedly tidy, and it could be said that it was spotlessly clean, and behind the door was a long room, about ten meters long and five meters wide, with neat bluestone bricks inlaid on the ground.

There was a half-man-high window on the wall facing the door, and a breeze passed through it, casting a faint glow in the room.

Two rows of two-metre-high mahogany bookshelves are lined up against the wall, with books of different sizes neatly placed on them.

The shelves are lined with silver metal nameplates with detailed classifications of books such as theology, architecture, cooking, and so on

Walking around to find what he was looking for, although Xia Zuo had seen a sea of books far more vast than this countless times in his previous life, but after the comparison in front of the door just now, the two neat rows of books immediately seemed shocked.

Most of the books are written in Rodman's language, one of the few languages that Shazo can read, and now that he has a clear goal, he naturally goes straight to the point.

There are not many books on architecture on the shelves, and there are only two or three books that Xia Zuo can understand, just choose one at random, the cover of the linen stripes is very comfortable to the touch, and the thick weight has a very valuable feeling in the hand, and the beige paper has vertical and horizontal fiber lines, which makes the book extremely exquisite.

The first half of the book is an introduction to several architectural styles on the mainland, as well as detailed explanations of pictures and texts, while the second half of the book is about the advantages and disadvantages of various buildings, as well as some common sense about architecture, layout differentiation, and hand-drawn architectural sketches.

The content has a detailed analysis, so it is not jerky and difficult to understand, Xia Zuo read while connecting with the knowledge he knew in his previous life, and sketched the model of his castle in his heart.

This remote bookstore is obviously no longer cared for except Xia Zuo, during which only the old man who opened the store came in drunken once, and when he saw Xia Zuo's fascination, he quietly walked out.

The afterglow of the setting sun poured in from the window, covering the whole room with a golden glow, and the time of the day passed silently around Xia Zuo.

"Boy, I'm closing! If you want to buy books, hurry up and pay for them, if you can't afford them, get out of here quickly, don't delay Lao Tzu to go out for a drink!" Until twilight fell, the old man saw that Xia Zuo had no intention of leaving, and he came in to drive people away with high spirits, without taking Xia Zuo's exquisite clothes that ordinary people could not afford to wear in their lives.

"Boss, how much are these books!" Xia Zuo, who was awakened, noticed the changes around him, and mocked himself in his heart that he would be able to read books one day, and asked with a gentle smile as he raised the three books he liked.

These books are very exquisite in both printing craftsmanship and paper, which even Xia Zuo, a layman, can easily feel,

But these such precious classics are placed in such a dilapidated shop, and with this strange boss, Xia Zuohu can't help but be suspicious.

"Two small ones are fifty gold coins each, and the big one is one hundred gold coins!" The bald boss raised his eyebrows, revealing a price that made Xia Zuo a little shocked!

"It's so expensive!!" Xia Zuo said suddenly, all three books cost two hundred gold coins, if these money are exchanged for a commoner's family, it is enough for them to live in abundance for several years, coldly glancing at the bald boss, this bastard obviously thinks of himself as a fat sheep.

"It's too expensive, you don't have to buy it!" The bald boss looked like you didn't know the goods, and the only one eye left looked at Xia Zuo without fear, "If it weren't for the fact that I haven't had any business recently, you don't expect me to sell these books to you so cheaply!"

Saiyans are fierce and belligerent by nature, even if Xia Zuo has a human soul, this also affects Xia Zuo's behavior from time to time, and on the other hand, it also brings Xia Zuo a ferocious aura unique to Saiyans, this natural coercion Xia Zuo has been tried and tested repeatedly.

But in the face of this one-eyed old man, it was ineffective, and since Xia Zuo began to practice, this was the first time he had encountered someone who did not react under his gaze.

"I bought it!" casually took out the money bag from his bosom and threw it to the old man, Xia Zuo was not going to stay in this strange place, so he was ready to leave, Buman should have escorted the things back, Mira also waited for himself for a day, and now he was afraid that he was already in a hurry.

"Boy, wait!" The old man suddenly stopped Xia Zuo, "I see that you kid still has a little vision! For the sake of you letting me open, I can't let you think that I am cheating on young people."

After speaking, he pulled out a worn-out yellow book from the garbage heap outside and threw it to Xia Zuo and said, "I think you will also be a little vindictive, this is what I will give to you, take this and get out of here, Lao Tzu is going to drink!" After speaking, he didn't give Xia Zuo a chance to speak at all, and almost half drove Xia Zuo out of the door, and then closed the door with a "bang".

"Detailed explanation of fighting" Xia Zuo couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at the thin book in his hand that was completely handwritten, the pages were very rough, and the brown paper paper was far less delicate than the other three books in his hand, but Xia Zuo just turned two pages casually and couldn't turn his eyes away, and even his palms couldn't help but tremble slightly.

This thin booklet, drawn entirely by hand on brown papyrus, is worth far more than three books in your hand, and contains detailed records of the directions to focus on in combat, body movements, pace, how to exert force, how to breathe, the effects of hitting various positions, and how to dodge, as well as related detailed training methods.

In his previous life, Xia Zuo was just an ordinary person, although relying on the Saiyan's strong body and fighting instinct allowed him to exert terrifying combat power, but after all, he had not gone through basic learning, and it was really difficult to fully exert the Saiyan's combat power by relying only on his own exploration.

"Xia Zuo, Saiya, thank you for the gift from your predecessors!" After turning a few pages, Xia Zuo naturally understood the value of this booklet, and thanked the closed wooden door aloud, just this booklet was far from being able to be bought back by those two gold coins.

"Whoever told you here, go back and tell that old bastard who let you come here, and don't bother me in the future!" came the sound of smashing wine bottles and the angry shouts of the bald old man from inside the wooden door.
