The Book of Spells is a vehicle used by shamans to transcribe spells. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Just as wood can hold a fire, pottery can be filled with water.

Different spells have different effects, and they have different requirements for the carrier.

For example, if the fire spell is recorded in a magic book made of fish skin, it will affect the effect of the spell because the yin qi is too heavy. So Ashmore's bound books were often used to transcribe water spells, Parisian bound books were used by Catholic monks to chant saints, and Venetian bound books were often found in the hands of dark creatures.

Zheng Qing knew nothing about these details.

But his instincts led him to abandon the richly shelled and exquisitely bound Dharma books he had seen before.

So, after he made a request, Manager Xiaoyuan led him to the Chinese-style law book display case.

"Pre-Qin bamboo slips, two feet four inches long, thousand-year-old bitter bamboo cut, green halo pulp, seven-color deerskin braiding. The exterior is carved with a complete set of 'Uncle Zaixu' fire spells, and the inner lining is designed to be changed many times. We have a set of different materials of inner lining, including mulberry paper, Shushan silk, two-layer fox skin, gold and silver and so on. After using the lining, guests can renew the material that they feel comfortable in the shop. ”

"There is also this, the Han and Tang Dynasty silk books, five feet three inches long, one foot eight minutes wide, millennium amber silk weaving, the silk is beautiful and soft, the luster is delicate and bright. The scroll is Ryukyu red sandalwood, which is warm to the touch and has a refreshing aroma, and the bottom of the scroll is engraved with the mantra of 'the east is bright, the light of the moonrise', so that even in the dark night, it does not affect the use of the law book at all. ”

"There is also a Song version of the law book here, the style is simple and elegant, and the materials are exquisite and strict. From stringing to binding, all reflect the historical charm of the East. What type of guests do you prefer?"

The manager of the bookstore displayed these Chinese-style law books one by one and explained them in detail.

Since the fat man with a three-layer chin broke Zheng Qing's identity as a public student, Manager Xiaoyuan's attitude has become more friendly.

"What about the price. Although he was shy, Zheng Qing did not hesitate to open his eyes and gain a long insight.

The soft leather gloves on his hands were replaced by gloves of white fine linen. The bookstore also intimately provided a pair of monocles, allowing him to carefully check the pulp on the bamboo slips, the lines on the silk silk, and the beginning and end of the binding of the Song book.

"The price of fifteen jade coins in the pre-Qin bamboo slips starts at a price, and there is room to fluctuate up and down according to the configuration of the inner lining; the price starts at ten jade coins in the Han and Tang dynasties, and the scrolls can be replaced, and the price is not fixed; and the five jade coins in the Song version book have a uniform price. ”

"What type of law book is the most sold?"

"University standard style, first layer deerskin cover, silk bookmark tape, brass inlays, book corners, blank title page, mulberry paper. Manager Xiaoyuan spoke quickly: "Because it is a standard layout, the durability is limited, and the average student changes it once a semester and receives a jade coin." ”

"That's right. Zheng Qing weighed.

"Since you are a public scholarship student, if these do not meet your requirements, the shop can also tailor a law book for you, which will definitely satisfy the guests. It seemed that seeing Zheng Qing's hesitation, Manager Xiaoyuan actively recommended: "Shangyuan Bookstore has a master of law book making certified by the Wizarding Alliance, you can rest assured." ”

"It must be expensive. ”

"The price starts from a golden bean, and there is no cap. According to your different materials and requirements, the price of the law book is also different. If you are a publicly-funded student, you can also get a 7% discount on labor. ”

"I'll take a look. Zheng Qing was happy in his heart, and estimated whether he could buy a law book with three or five golden beans.

Jade coins, gold beans, silver horns, and copper are several currencies in the wizarding world, and one jade coin can be exchanged for ten golden beans, if you use three or five golden beans to solve the problem of the law book, then you can save at least six or seven golden beans.

According to Thomas, a handful of copper is enough for Zheng Qing to eat three meals a day in college. Six or seven golden beans are estimated to be enough for him to live on for a month.

His full scholarship is only ten jade coins, and he needs to buy all the school necessities on the list, as well as some other expenses after the start of school.

Zheng Qing felt a little nervous at hand.

Since he learned the currency exchange rate, he had given up on asking his family for money.

Since there is no open source for the time being, it is necessary to learn to compare.

"This way, please. Manager Xiaoyuan led Zheng Qing to a small door in the depths of the bookstore.

The blue double wooden doors do not match the overall dark tone of the store. The door frames around the wooden door are engraved with runes to ward off evil spirits, and the door leaves are hung with New Year's pictures of the gods. The New Year's paintings are a little old, and the color is a little whitish. The two great gods leaned on the feet of the painting, sat lazily, playing cards, and when they saw someone coming, they just waved their hands to indicate that they knew.

Zheng Qing swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"By the rules, I can't go in. Manager Xiaoyuan pushed open the door and made a gesture to invite in, smiling apologetically.

The inside of the door was a little dark, and the threshold was a foot high.

Zheng Qing looked at it and carefully crossed the threshold.

The wooden door closes gently behind you.

Dim and quiet, coupled with the fragrance of sunken wood, Zheng Qing's originally nervous heart gradually quieted down.

The house was big and empty.

Burning torches hung from the surrounding walls.

In the center of the room, there is a huge counter. It's the most conspicuous thing in the house.

On the counter was a pile of gray hair, shaking in the firelight.

"Is there anyone?" Zheng Qing's throat was a little dry, and his voice seemed a little trembling.

Swallowing his mouth, he walked over to the counter, ready to say hello again.

Before he could speak, the pile of gray hair suddenly floated up.

A dry, wrinkled, old man's face like a dried walnut appeared in his sight.

Zheng Qing was startled, and reached out to grab the gray cloth bag he was carrying in his arms,

The old man's dull eyes rolled and slid over the sack. Then he lowered his head, and the shriveled walnuts disappeared behind the wide table again.

"Hello," Zheng Qing moved back, a little further away from the counter.

Then he hesitated and bowed slightly.

Raising his head, the old man had already come back up, his wrinkled face was almost attached to Zheng Qing's body, and his dark eyes that seemed to have no trace of life stared at him deadly.

"Hello, that ......" Zheng Qing was startled, and he wanted to retreat, but the old man reached out his right hand without a trace of ambiguity, grabbed him by the collar, and dragged him to the front.

Although he looked like a thin little old man, his hand was like an iron plier, strangling Zheng Qing's neck.

"Yes, yes, I understand. ”

Before Zheng Qing could speak, the old man's muttering voice sounded in this quiet room, looking very ethereal: "Very powerful soul, very powerful, although chaotic and complex, but it contains a pure aura, I have never seen such a powerful soul." This feeling has never been felt before, you can rest assured, everything is ready for me, and you will have a powerful wizard book. ”
