Chapter 149: Windfall
Just as Zhong Shenxiu was curiously looking at the book, Reece had already stepped closer.
However, Zhong Shenxiu never looked up, still staring at the book.
It can be seen that the book in Reese's hand is some years old, because the handwriting on the cover has been blurred, and it is obviously damaged.
Reece calmed down his somewhat disordered aura for a moment, and then said, "I have a book about 'enchantment' here!" After speaking, he handed the book in his hand to Zhong Shenxiu.
Zhong Shenxiu didn't pick it up with his hands, and raised his head to look at Reese, as if asking, "What do you mean?"
As the saying goes, "Nothing to do, but to be annihilated or to steal"! Zhong Shenxiu must first determine what Reese's intentions are.
In fact, the reason why Rees took this book was purely to thank Zhong Shenxiu for helping him break through the "trainee swordsman", and he had no other meaning.
Although Zhong Shenxiu was talking about a deal, Rees knew that it was Zhong Shenxiu who was helping him, because all Zhong Shenxiu wanted him to do was leave.
Reece was a little reluctant to go, and saw that Zhong Shenxiu seemed to be interested in this "enchantment", so he planned to dedicate this ancient book to Zhong Shenxiu.
Speaking of which, this ancient book was once accidentally found in his storeroom. At that time, he was tidying up his things, and suddenly found a corner behind a dilapidated cabinet, and there was a secret room, only to find that there were a lot of books in it, as well as some miscellaneous things.
To Reese's dismay, however, these books were all about magic, and were of no use to him as a swordsman.
"I want to give this book to you, and I don't know if it's useful to you, but thank you for helping me break through the 'Trainee Swordsman'!" Reece said sincerely.
Zhong Shenxiu was quite surprised, he didn't expect that one of his unintentional actions would have such an unexpected gain. I took it casually, didn't say yes or no, just looked at the content first.
"This ...... What is this?" Zhong Shenxiu's expression changed suddenly, although he only hurriedly browsed a few pages, he realized the great value of this book, and he had already surpassed all the books about the "Magic Array" he had read in the past few days!
What Rees just described is not accurate, this is not just a book about "enchantment", this is a summary of the essence of "magic array"! The incisive insights that appear in it are like a bright light to Zhong Shenxiu to give Zhong Shenxiu a new revelation, and the connection that was not clear before suddenly became clear.
Zhong Shenxiu had a hunch that as long as he studied this book carefully, he could find out how to use the magic array refiner!
This is really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!
Reece saw Zhong Shenxiu's expression change, and couldn't guess what he was thinking. To be honest, he didn't know the true value of the book because he couldn't read it. He just thinks that the book is very old, maybe it is already extinct, and maybe Zhong Shenxiu will be interested.
But now he was a little weak-hearted, he was worried that Zhong Shenxiu would be angry because he brought such a shabby book!
"That...... I'll go back first!" Reese was going to run away, but his heart had already been delivered, and it was not his business to like it or not.
"Boy, wait a minute!" Zhong Shenxiu's voice suddenly sounded, startling Reese.
"What...... What's the matter?" Reese turned his head a little nervously.
Zhong Shenxiu didn't speak immediately, but smiled. (Anyone who knows him knows that his smile belongs to the "evil" kind!) "Where did you get this book?" Zhong Shenxiu's eyes flashed with a strange light.
Reese's expression was a little stunned, although he didn't understand the meaning of Zhong Shenxiu's question, he still replied honestly: "This is what I brought from home!"
"Oh, are you sure you want to give it to me?"
Reece understood a little why Zhong Shenxiu asked this at this time, and nodded hurriedly and said, "There are only two people in my house, me and the housekeeper, and I won't want to go back after this book is given to you!"
After a pause, probably afraid that Zhong Shenxiu would not believe it, he said: "If you like it, keep it, this kind of book is useless to me, and we still have a lot of this kind of book at home!"
His meaning was already very clear, that is, it was nothing to give Zhong Shenxiu a book. However, he forgot a wise saying: wealth is not exposed!
Suddenly, when Zhong Shenxiu heard his last words, his eyes lit up suddenly, as if a falcon had discovered its prey!
"Boy, do you mean that there are still a lot of books like this in your family?" Zhong Shenxiu asked seemingly blandly.
Reece didn't know what Zhong Shenxiu had in mind, and he didn't care too much, so he nodded honestly.
The smile on Zhong Shenxiu's face became even stronger this time, and he said meaningfully: "Boy, do you want to make another deal with me?"
Make another deal?
Reece was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "What deal?"
"I promised to help you train, and accordingly, how about you lend me those books from your house?"
(Zhong Shenxiu didn't say "yes", only "borrow", this is his cleverness!) "You really agreed to help me train?" Reese asked, overjoyed, a little unable to believe his ears.
"Of course, and promise to at least double your strength in two months!" Zhong Shenxiu once again threw a bait that was difficult for Reece to resist, "How about it, do you want to make this deal with me?"
"I ...... I accept!" Reece nodded excitedly, this deal was too tempting for him, and he even said that he could at least double his strength in two months. If that's the case, then I might be able to make a name for myself in this "House Ranking Competition".
Zhong Shenxiu's face showed an unfathomable expression, as if he knew that Reece would agree!
"Now that you've agreed, do you plan to start training right away, or do you plan to wait until you're mentally prepared?" Zhong Shenxiu suddenly asked.
Rees didn't understand the meaning of Zhong Shenxiu's words, especially his understanding of the word "mental preparation" was a little skewed.
"The sooner the better, of course!" replied Reese, a little impatiently.
"Since you said that, then all right!" Zhong Shenxiu then turned to Robin and ordered, "Robin, you go and follow him to help bring those books." ”
It is said to be a help, but in fact, it is more accurate to say that it is an overseer, and it is to move all of them without a single book! Of course, this does not need to be said explicitly, and Robin also understands.
Afterwards, Zhong Shenxiu said to Reese: "You two go now, and I'll arrange training for you when you come back!"
"Ugh!" Reese was a little overwhelmed by Chung Shin-so's series of words, but he didn't say anything more, so he had to lead Robin away.
The reason why Zhong Shenxiu didn't go with him was because he still had to study this enchantment here, and it was enough for Robin to come out for such a trivial matter!
Not to mention how Zhong Shenxiu studied there, just talk about Robin who left with Reese.
Before the two of them left the academy, the bell rang at the end of class.
A lot of students began to flock out of the various training grounds, and Reese was so free because there were no classes in the afternoon. looked at Robin beside him, a little afraid that she would get lost, but he didn't dare to hold hands, because Robin's expression clearly said the words "No one is going to enter"!
For this he had to slow down, but in this way, more and more people poured out.
"Yo, isn't this Reese!" suddenly came a very stinky voice, and it was none other than Geraldin.
Geraldine had just finished class, and he saw Reese from afar, he didn't have any hobbies, he just loved to quarrel with Reese, because he would get a sense of satisfaction from Reese's aggrieved expression, for no other reason, just because his strength was stronger than Reese, he was a "high-level swordsman"!
However, he didn't know that Reese at this time was no longer what he used to be, and he had reached the same level as he was a "high-level swordsman"!
Reece stopped, and the most he wanted to do after gaining strength was to extinguish this guy's arrogance.
"You're so idle, no wonder you're always a 'trainee swordsman', but that's just right for you!" Geraldine smirked again.
"Do you think I'm weaker than you now?" Reese laughed.
"Really, do you dare to go into the training ground and have a fight?" Geraldine asked every time he was arguing with Reese, because he knew that Reese was self-aware.
However, this time he was a little surprised, because Reece smiled again, and said very happily: "What don't you dare, you and I am afraid that you will not succeed!"
Geraldine was stunned for a moment, but then he was overjoyed, and said, "I'll let you see how big the gap between a 'trainee swordsman' and a 'senior swordsman' is!"
However, just as the two were about to step into the training ground to prepare for a fight, Robin, who had been ignored by the two, spoke.
"Don't waste my time here!"
Although there are not many words, it shows that Robin is in a bad mood at this time!
Only then did Geraldine notice Robin, and asked a little idiotically, "She, who?"
He doesn't remember his last name well, and it's understandable that he doesn't remember Robin.
Robin didn't answer him, and Reese didn't speak again. Reece looked at Robin in some surprise, he could now clearly feel that Robin was angry, and the consequences were serious!
Of course, what Reece is really afraid of is Robin making a small report in front of Zhong Shenxiu, and if the deal is canceled, then he will only regret it. Thinking of this, he glared at Geraldin, which seemed to mean again: This time, I will let you go first!
Geraldine saw that Reece had just finished talking big, and now he wanted to leave, so he suddenly stopped doing it, and a dodge blocked the way of the two, and said in a somewhat mocking tone: "Why do you want to leave so quickly, it can't be scared, right?"
Reece just wanted to reply to him, but Robin took the lead.
"If you don't want to die, get out of the way!"
Robin looked up at Geraldin, who was acting silly. (If Angelia had been around, she would have started to tremble by now...... )
