Chapter 40: The Book of Jealousy* Thickened Toilet Paper Edition

This book is not a book, but a mysterious curiosity.

Melina looked at the book as a stream of magical information rushed into her brain, making her understand the message as the oldest humans knew danger at the sight of fire and feared when they heard thunder.

The magic factor can leave a trace, without words or words, and after a directional magic factor is recharged, it can tell the secrets of the past.

The information in her mind was quickly decoded and decoded, and a text composed of magic factors appeared in Melina's sight:

【Book of Jealousy (Thickened)】

【Strange Things. Book]

[Main Criteria: Beasts, Dancers]

[When the main criteria are met, gain 'Jealousy: Level 1']

[Jealousy: Provides the magic power level, magic scale level, and material protection level of 'Jealousy Burn Level*1' (using magic to attack creatures is less likely to damage materials)]

[Secondary Criteria: Combination and Cruelty, Temptation and Persistence]

[When the secondary criterion is met, gain 'Jealousy Delicacy: Level 1']

[Jealousy Madness: The magic factor is more aggressive and less defensive]

[Look at others, death penalty.] Don't love me, death penalty. Abandon me, die~Punishment~]

Melina was in a rare state of fear.

How?

Why is this book so scary?

The Book of Jealousy?

It's scary to watch!

Melina rubbed her stomach, but her eyes still lit up, strange things are not rare in this world, but there are relatively few good goods, and most of them are heavy and difficult to use. For example, carrying a marble statue that provides something like [Flash Prevention: Level 1].

And this book, although it is also relatively thick, is definitely a good product!

Double attack on strange things!

Although, although [Jealousy] and [Jealousy Madness] don't sound like good terms, they both add attack power, and they are still the magic damage that they are good at. It can greatly compensate for the gap and explosive power of the musket's output. Another reason why muskets are not used well by explorers is that they are more suitable for magic, but they are already in an awkward position due to their high possession of magic factor.

But Melina is different, she is a spellcaster wearing a physical skin, and her main focus is to use more magic to break out.

The important shackles of the book, namely the need for guidelines and secondary guidelines, are also equivalent to nothing for her.

As a universal Meimei, who has cultivated the seven principles and understands the twenty-five minor principles, the use limit is that there is no limit, this kind of strange thing that can not only be hung on the body, but also can be used to record the sigil in the hand, which is just suitable for an explorer like Melina who can have a free hand.

The Book of Jealousy itself is a readable book, but after opening it, the sentences in it make people feel very uneasy and scared, but they can still record some sigils in it for use.

In a word...

Dequeue!

No, no, no...

Shipping!

Melina jumped out of bed with the book in her arms, holding it in her arms with her left hand and fisting her right hand.

While swinging her fist, another thing made her a little uncomfortable.

When she swung her fist, she felt that the world was so heavy, so heavy, and the burden of life seemed to crush Meimei all at once.

Her body was completely unmoved in the dream, and she could feel that her nerves were infinitely better than her current physical body. The speed of the punch has also become very slow, and she feels like she has opened a 10x speed brush copy in a mobile game, and suddenly returned to the normal speed copy that can't be accelerated.

What's going on?

Or is it because it's a dream?

That's why I'm so strong in what I think?

But why is there no way to knock Alice down...

Alice.

Melina couldn't help frowning when she thought of the name, that woman, no, no, no, it should be that creature, the essence should not be human, but she thinks she is human? The opponent's strength and speed have reached the same level as his own, no, it should be said that the speed is faster, but the strength is worse.

This incident shows that the dream world is not 'you can be as strong as you want', and it is not certain whether it is a dream or not.

Why is that Alice there? Why did you appear there?

The items obtained through there are brought into reality.

Melina had examined her body, and there was no sign of it moving, so to speak, as if she were in a dream.

Will the senior sister know about this?

Melina kept an eye on it, put the book on the table, went out to wash up, came back and changed into her daily clothes, and then walked downstairs with the book and the parasol.

…

"This soup can't be made by an old elf cook with thirty years of skill!"

"Ingredients sourced from Havenli. Local rich milk from Hanyu Snake Town, the land of the mysterious archipelago, Rizhao mushrooms from Rizhao Mountain, and wild boar meat around Giant Ketula Lake. It's all good material. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Lao Mo, as always, boasted about the dishes he made, and estimated that it would take ten minutes. Sonia also estimated that she listened to it as cross talk, and when she saw Melina walking down, she waved her hand to Lao Mo:

"It's so exquisite, it's such an honor to be able to eat this dish for breakfast!"

She speaks as if she were a castrated yin-yang person. But the elf couldn't hear it, and the elf like Lao Mo couldn't hear it, and thought he was praising him.

"Okay, you've come here for a hard time, don't you have anything to do in Liangpu Town?"

After sending Lao Mo away, Sonia greeted Melina, who was sitting down:

"Xiaomei, are you a little late today? This is not good, how can young people not suffer much, work is a blessing. ”

She smiled and smiled, and when she saw the book Melina put on the table, she stopped smiling suspiciously:

"What is this book?"

"What's wrong with the strange things I got before, which I used to record sigils? You haven't seen me use this book when you were in the first week? ”

Melina said unconcernedly. took a sip of the old Mote's breakfast, although this elf loves to brag, but he does have a hand in cooking. Savoring breakfast, she looked at Sonia's expression with her spare eyes, trying to see some clues from her senior sister's face.

But no matter how much you peek, you can only see a very relieved look on the senior sister's face.

This kind of look is called: [My Xiaomei really loves to read]

… I couldn't hold it back.

… I want to give this guy a punch.

Melina took a deep breath.

There was a knock on the door, and Maria walked in from the outside, took off her coat, and said:

"Lao Mo is going back? I saw him at the door. ”

"Well, go back, you come and eat, it's not good if it's cold."

Sonia greeted.

Maria, who had blonde hair and silver eyes and looked like a great sword, carried a stack of letters in her hand and placed it on the table, divided the thickest one, and pushed it in front of Sonia:

"Yours."

About a dozen letters and three geological journals.

"Mine."

A new urban gossip magazine, a book on the occult, and a letter.

Maria shoved it in front of Melina.

"Yours."

"I have a letter?" Melina was surprised and blinked.

"Maybe it's the salesman who knows you're living in?" Maria speculated, "When I first moved in, I received sales pitches from Tom and Hank from Haven. ”

"Hee-hee."

Sonia chuckled, "I'll bet 1 gold leu, it's Miss Louisa's." ”

"Won't it?"

Maria pursed her lips, frowned, and said, "Amei just sent the letter yesterday, and it was only received on the other side in the evening. Unless the other party receives the letter immediately and catches the last train, it will definitely not be there this morning..."

"1 gold lei?"

Maria bit her lower lip, and she muttered:

"It's not reasonable at all, you say yes, you get it..."

"1 gold?"

Sonia is like a provocative little ghost, and her expression and movements are very poor.

Old Ma couldn't stand it immediately, and slapped the table:

"Good! Come! Open it for me! ”

She pointed to Melina.

Melina rolled her eyes at the two senior sisters, opened the envelope with a puffed face, looked at the letter, and raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Dear Melina personally, your faithful friend Louisa." ”

She looked up and saw Maria close her eyes and take Kim from her pocket and put it in Sonia's hand with a strange smile.

"Old Ma, Old Ma!"

Lao Ma's mouth should be unclean, and he forced him to say something like 'XX is really Niu X'.

Sonia snorted, lowered her head and opened the letter herself.

I also read a letter:

"My dear Suo, I heard you say that the town of Hamlet is in ruins, and all things are still in full swing. I am looking for a port to share the gospel of gin with our brothers and sisters in the Atlantic nations. Without further ado, I hope you can write back to me soon, about the port. Eager to get a positive answer and make a lot of money together. Love you Lynn. ”

She put down the letter and laughed:

"There are already people who want to come and invest, you see!"

Maria and Melina looked at each other, and in the end, it was up to Melina to remind them.

"That, Sonia-senpai?"

"Huh?"

"As far as I know, gin requires a franchise in the Atlantic countries, and there are import taxes, and most importantly, the Atlantic countries have recently issued a decree on the Prohibition of Alcohol and Cigarettes, Title XIX, also known as the Prohibition Act. The goal is to reduce drunks, raise alcohol taxes, and improve the city's atmosphere, so..."

"So it's illegal for us to provide ports?" Sonia had a straight face.

"Ugh."

"So you can be sure that our friend really doesn't have a concession, and will really sell alcohol to the Atlantic countries, and will really not apply for an import duty declaration?"

Of course not...... Melina thought, and then suddenly realized, eh! There's no evidence at all, huh?

"So, people like you just listen to the wind and rain!" Sonia said triumphantly, "The bigger the wind and waves! The more expensive the fish, do you understand it! Now the waves in the Atlantic countries are too big. ”

Melina ate the toasted crispy bread with the mushroom soup, the simple and earthy garlic and the aroma of bread wrapped in a layer of pure taste. She sighed in contentment, opened the letter, and chuckled.

Louisa is still the same as before.

It's strange to write a letter.

The three-and-a-half-page paper is full of articles quoting scriptures, which makes people look confused. And the really important points are at the bottom.

Melina put away her smile and tilted her head:

"Huh? Will she be here at noon today? ”

Sonia and Maria put down the letter in their hands and stared at her.

Old Ma was muttering that sentence again.

Sonia laughed:

"Then we have to hurry up and prepare, after breakfast--Old Ma, the land under our manor has been temporarily requisitioned by me for guild, you help me go to see the commission and give the private commission to the team that went to Raccoon Town to deal with affairs, and bring the money bag. Remember, if there is a request from the Radiant Species Swamp Dragon, the Sea Erosion Dragon, and the Crying Peninsula Mass Earthquake, I will come back and tell me immediately. ”

"As for you, Xiaomei, would you mind going out together? I need to do some data collection on pure white woodland. ”
