"Ga~~~~" The brown-red wooden door with four pieces of crystal glass turned inward 90 degrees as the brass-colored metal grip automatically turned downward.

A large semicircular hall greets the rand, with four dark marble pillars on a black-and-white lattice floor, and bookshelves on scalloped walls that extend from the floor to the roof.

"Old Mage's Bookstore, it's really magnificent", Rand walked into the middle of the hall, a circle of hardcover books neatly stacked on the circular table.

"Gawain the Returnee?" Rand opened one, which, judging by the title, is a legendary biography,

Flipping through the translucent title page, he entered his fighting spirit, and the page actually changed from translucent to a colorful painting, and a gray-haired knight in silver armor held a sword and looked into the distance.

I read two more pages, and it was all about the knight's travels and friends' travels and business territories.

Rand put the book back on the circular table, which was full of best-selling novels.

On a precious Sunday morning, Rand had wandered several bookstores, but he never saw his favorite book: books on magical knowledge.

Knight biographies, mage biographies, lord biographies, knights and elves, mages and mermaids, lords and succubi, it's all a routine, and I'm not interested in reading it after rolling a few eyes.

Rand couldn't find what he was looking for in a few bookstores, so he went to what looked like the largest one and tried his luck.

For Rand, what he needs to buy most now are books on magic goblins and magical knowledge, but both of these are strictly monitored by the great nobles in the process of market circulation, and the total amount that Rand can buy as a viscount is very limited.

The third place is all kinds of spell casting and drawing materials, the fourth place is magic beast meat, which has no consumption restrictions, and finally grains, clothing and building materials that have nothing to do with magic, these materials are all denominated in silver coins and belong to bulk items.

Others, such as river boats, alchemy items, etc., can be bought with them when you see them.

"My lord? What would you like to buy? "A demonless man came running from the corner, this was the first time Rand had seen a demonless shopping guide in the demon cultist's shopping street.

"Books about magic, not biographies, books like books about magic" Looking at the demonless man in front of him, Rand felt the other party's contempt.

"My lord, it's hard to find that kind of book, but you've come to the right place with us, please come with me."

"What is this?" Following the shopping guide to a corner on the second floor, Rand saw a box of waste paper.

"My lord, don't look at these old books, but they are all very useful magic books."

Rust stains, water stains, insect damage, creases, curls, Rand looked at the box of "books" and fished out a book, on each of the dozen pages of parchment, each of which had several layers scribbled.

"How much does such a book cost?"

"These books have been studied and summarized by generations of magicians, condensing the wisdom of generations, and each book only needs 20 gold coins."

"20 gold?" Rand's eyebrows twisted together, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, "If the barbarians had a talent like you, they wouldn't come to the Dragon Kingdom to rob"

"This lord," although the demonless man quoted the robbery price, he still flattered him, "I see that you are a noble lord, I don't know where you are?" ”

"Galloping Horse" Rand replied casually, and then scratched in the "waste carton", trying to find a relatively complete one.

"Oh, you're from the Eastern Kingdoms?" The largest branch of the Galloping Horse family is the independent marquis on an island in the eastern part of the empire, and this marquisate has the right to run for the throne of the king of the Eastern Kingdom, and the shopping guide hears that the galloping horse takes it for granted that Rand is from there.

"No, northwest, galloping horse plain," Rand reported to himself.

"Huh? So, then you still need these books? "In the eyes of the clerk, there are no magicians on the Plains of Galloping Horses, and there is no need for magic books at all.

"You're so lenient," Rand was a little unhappy, and looked back at the clerk with a little more anger in his eyes. "I'm a viscount, and I can't even buy a book?

What are you here? Dare to ask me about my identity? ”

"Of course not, my lord, please wait a moment" The demonless clerk who was covered with sweat and pores quickly fled, and when he went downstairs, Rand even heard a "poof" sound.

After a while, a demon supporter who seemed to be only a mage apprentice walked over, this apprentice looked very respectful but not flustered.

"My lord, I'm sorry to let our subordinates disturb you, our house is the shop of His Excellency Blue Dragon, and it is also your request to ask the book buyer where he is coming from, just now I was in the back of the inventory, and I couldn't come out to pick you up as soon as possible, please forgive me."

"Don't you have any books here that are in better condition?" Rand said, holding up a few scraps of paper, looking at the mage's apprentice.

"Lord Hui, it's gone, books in slightly better condition will generally be rewarded to the side branches of the family." The mage's apprentice saw some of Rant's hideous faces, it wasn't the first time he had received a nobleman, but it was the first time he felt fear.

"But my lord, I have an Imperial Capital version of the magic apprentice textbook here, which is slightly better than yours." With that, he led Rand down to the counter on the first floor, and took out a book that looked like it was just a little torn cover.

"General Knowledge of Magic... Sixth Edition" After Rand took the book, he first saw the torn cover and large water stains on the book

"Imperial Capital Education Department, printed by the Emperor God in 947" After opening the book, I saw a table of contents, chapters, and drawings of magical plants and utensils in the contents similar to the textbooks in my hometown.

The paper is sturdy, the printing is delicate, and there is even a copyright page at the end, the year and batch of printing, and only a very mature compilation and printing system can print such books in large quantities.

"How much"

"40 Gold Coins"

After a few minutes of silence, the mage did not give in, and Rand estimated that this was also the greatest sincerity given by the other party, so he could only pay and leave.

The price of 40 gold coins is enough to buy a small courtyard in the civilian area, or 1 or 2 days of food in the Rand territory.

Now that he only bought an old textbook from decades ago, Rand met a real robber after two months of crisscrossing the Galloping Horse Plain and sacking countless tribes, and the other party did not even give him a chance to bargain.

。。。。。

The commercial street of Wangdu is naturally more than twice as large as the market in Mane Wolf City, and the variety is also quite rich.

For example, the shops that sell Warcraft meat alone occupy half of the street, and the shops are sold according to the elemental attributes, such as fire, ice, and life, and there are very few earth-based creatures here.

The same is true for magical equipment, except for the apprentice's equipment store, the other stores are either according to the profession, or according to the attributes, and there may be business overlap between different equipment stores, but they all have their own characteristics.

The apprentice equipment shop that Rand went to first was mostly wooden swords and shields; The magician apprentice also has specimen display frames for level 0 and low-level magic plants, as well as some simple magic props and materials, the quality of the materials is uneven, and the prices are high and low, so that Rand even has the illusion of going to the flea market.

Not only the apprentice supply store, but Rand walked into every store on the commercial street and looked at them one by one, and while looking at it, he could only sigh that the goods with magic were indeed very expensive.

The cheapest alchemy items with 1 magic pattern start at 2 gold coins; 2 Magic Stripes, at least 5 gold.

Knight's weapons or equipment of ordinary materials usually start at 50 gold coins, and the leather armor with iron armor that Rand used to wear can be sold for 120 gold coins here; Pure iron armor costs 250 gold coins; If it's a demonic weapon or equipment, it's even more expensive.

At this moment, Rand really wanted to use the spatial ring to quietly trade iron armor between Mane Wolf City and Dragon Tooth City.

But in a magical world, breaking a promise would cause the gods to spurn, and no matter how short of money Rand was, he couldn't engage in such a small action.

Since Iron Armor is not very good at making money, Rand wants to try to get Wendy to open a magic item workshop, first produce some relatively simple and crude magic equipment, and then continue to expand production.

Walking down the street, Rand was thinking about a plan to sell Wendy's labor for money, and if Rand was Viscount Bob or Daddy Baron Huck, then this plan would be perfect.

But now Rand is the largest force in the southern part of the entire Galloping Horse Plain, and it really makes Rand feel ashamed to pin the entire territory of 4,000 people to eat and drink on a few girls.
