Chapter 260: Stay 3

PS: Thanks to maledegou for the monthly pass

"Wizard primer books? are all here, but you can only tell which ones are true and which ones are fake, by the way, a word of caution, you are not allowed to open the pages of the book to see the contents of the book, I guarantee that the content in it is the same as the title of the book, if not, you can always return it, but I don't know whether these books are true or false. The old clerk helped his crystal eyes and looked at Gehr in front of him.

Geer smiled, didn't speak, walked directly to the front of the bookshelf, began to scan the rows of bookshelf, and from time to time pulled out a few books to look at their covers, but did not really open them to see.

The books here are all tomes that can only be picked up by both hands, and the covers are made of some kind of nitrated leather, and Gehr pinched it a few times, and it feels good, very soft, very light, and not as hard and thick as traditional cowhide covers.

"The Quest for the Occult", "The Fundamentals of Modeling", "Reflectionism of Mind and Reality", "The Origin and Decipherment of Transcendent Power", "The Art Forgotten by the Times", "Edward's Model Aesthetics", ......

A book skimmed Gehr's field of vision, and the titles on it were a bit specious, and I really didn't know which aspect it would talk about without reading the content.

Most of the titles are written in Upper Guthir Britsian or Briggs, but a few of the books have names in a very strange script that is not the usual two.

"This is the ancient Gabroo language, a script created by a large faction of wizards a long time ago, but it has been in decline for a long time, so that few people know about it. The old man saw Gehr take out a book with a red cover. Casually reminded.

Gehr looked at the words on the cover, which looked like twisted black centipedes. It's indescribably weird.,It looks like there's a mysterious power in it.。

Gehr counted. There are about 100 books on the three shelves, and there are probably seven or eight of them on the covers written in this ancient Gabroo language.

"There are no translated books for this language. ”

"Absolutely. The old man groped under the table for a while, and then took out a thick and dusty book, and the cover was already a little torn, and it looked like it was some years old.

"This is a comparative dictionary with the ancient Tyr Britch, but it's been a bit long, and I've studied the contents, but I still don't understand them, you see. You can take it if you want. ”

Gehr took the book, opened it and looked at it, and the rows of dense and strange characters suddenly came into view, these characters are like children's graffiti, there is no uniform specification, chaotic, some are big and some are small, some are like numbers, and some are like graphics. Others are simply crooked, making one wonder how it was written, which feels weird to Gehr, and it seems similar to the ancient Gabroo on the front cover. But there seems to be a difference. A translation into the Upper Gutyr Britsch language is also attached.

However, Gehr took a general look, and some of them were normal translation tables, but they were more of the author's speculations about this peculiar language. It seems that the author himself is only partially aware of this language.

Seeing Gehr's puzzled gaze at him, the old man smiled a little awkwardly: "This is the research that my father conducted in his last days. It's just that he died in the middle of his research, and the latter part of my research was done a few years ago in accordance with the notes left by my father. It's just that my knowledge is still too bad, and I can't continue to study it after a while. ”

Listening to the old man's words, Gehr showed an expression of understanding, then turned his head and scanned a few bookshelves, and said in a very casual tone: "I understand, if I buy all these books from you, it's okay, right?"

"Buy them all, young man, are you kidding? You can take a closer look at my list price, these are already the lowest cost prices, they were all collected by my father when he was alive, but they will never be cheaper. The old man listened to Gehr's words, was slightly stunned, and then looked at him with very puzzled eyes, revealing complete distrust from his face.

Geer was not surprised by the old man's performance. The price of the books on the shelves is as little as dozens of gold coins, as many as hundreds, and even hundreds of gold coins, and even hundreds of gold coins, counting the sum of these hundreds of books according to the price of at least tens of thousands of gold coins, which is already a huge amount of money that ordinary nobles cannot afford, and this is just a book left by a wizard's apprentice, so you can imagine how much money a real wizard needs to consume.

But Geer was prepared for this situation, and didn't say anything to justify it, just took out a standard spar and put it in front of the old man.

At this moment, in Gehr's observation, the old man's breathing seemed to stop, and it slowly eased up after a while.

"Is it enough?" said Gehr, throwing out a sentence that made the old man come back to his senses.

"Enough...... That's enough......" the old man swallowed instinctively.

"I want all your books here, including manuscript paper and stuff from your father, okay?"

The old man looked at the standard spar that was constantly changing in brilliance under the light, and the expression on his face changed sharply, and finally turned into a firm: "Yes." The old man got up from the table, walked to the corner of the wall, and dragged out a large red wooden box that had begun to peel off the paint, and in the loud friction sound, the wooden box was dragged to the counter, and then opened, revealing stacks of various manuscripts inside, "All the manuscripts left by my father are here, but I can't understand many of them, you need to understand them yourself, and this room is also left to you, whatever you want." ”

"Yes, then it's a deal. Gehr admired the old man's decision.

The old man didn't speak, but turned his gaze to Taslan, who was on the side.

"I swear by the reputation of the Dakar clan that the outcome of this transaction is fair and valid, and the contract is formalized. Taslan, who had been standing silent at the doorway since he entered the house, suddenly spoke.

"I believe in the Dakar tribe. The old man nodded, then looked at Gehr, and said earnestly: "Young man, I have always longed for this wonderful world like you. And my father was once one step away from that world, but he still didn't cross it. And I'm still far from my father, and I have no hope in my life. But the price paid is irreparable. I'm not relying on the old to sell the old, I'm just giving you the advice of someone who has come before, there is nothing wrong with identifying the goal and working hard when you are young, but you must cherish everything around you and don't let yourself regret it. ”

"Thank you. Gell was silent for a moment, then thanked the old man.

"I also need to thank you for finally freeing me. By the way, you have a whole day to move things, and a day later the place will burn down. The old man had a very pleasant smile on his face. When I returned to the back room, I walked out after a short time, and I had a very simple burden on my hand. He glanced at the room with a memorist, didn't say anything more, walked out of the house directly, and never looked back.

At the moment when the old man walked out of the door, in Geer's eyes, the energy particles in the stone house suddenly fluctuated violently, and the complex lines of a hidden magic circle were revealed from every wall of the stone house. But after only a few moments, all the lines were darkened, as if a lock had been opened, and the circle was gone.

From the beginning. The old man and Geer did not mean to ask each other's names, they knew very well that they would not have the opportunity to see each other again in the future. It doesn't make sense to say the name or not.

"They were poor fathers and sons. After the old man left, Taslan suddenly spoke. Seeing Geer looking over, he added: "I heard the elders of the clan say it." Father and son were originally the heirs of a certain tribe, but because of their obsession with becoming mysterious, the entire clan declined, and it seemed that something big had happened at that time, but I couldn't remember it for a while. ”

"Understood, I need your help to help me move all the books here to my residence. Gell patted the book he was holding and put it back on the shelf.

"No problem, leave it to me, I'll go find someone to help now. Taslan readily agreed, and then walked outside the house: "You wait here, I'll be back soon." ”

When Taslan had left, Gehr closed the door, looked around, and headed for the back room.

This stone house is divided into two halls, the front is the room where the bookshelves are placed, and the back is also the bedroom and laboratory of the master here, but Gehr looked at the various utensils on the marble test bench and found that these things have not been used for a long time, and they have accumulated a layer of fine ash, and those experimental instruments are also some ordinary glass products that can be bought on the market, compared with the high-level experimental equipment used by the apprentices in the Ebu Aili Spell Tower, it is like the stone that can be seen everywhere compared to the brilliant diamond, which is not a grade at all。

However, Gehr is only a beginner who has not even mastered the basic subjects, and these things are still somewhat useful, so I will put this place in the catalog to be moved away later.

After looking around and seeing that there was nothing else of value, he returned to the antechamber and put together all the books and manuscripts, and made a simple list of the paper left by the shopkeeper.

Not long after Gehr finished a series of tasks, there was a knock on the door of the house.

When the door was opened, it was Taslan, who had turned back again.

There were a few people behind Taslan, presumably the helpers he had called, and there were two wooden carts at the entrance outside the door.

After letting Taslan and the others come in, Gehr was not polite, and directly instructed them to move things out according to the list and put them neatly on the wooden cart.

Because there are not many things, but in just over ten minutes, the things designated by Gehr are emptied.

When everyone else had gone out, Gell continued to wander around the room, and when he was sure that nothing was missing, he blew out the oil lamp, which was running out of oil, turned and walked out of the room, and closed it.

I don't know how long later, a point of light suddenly lit up in the house, and with a snort, it turned into golden-red ripples, spreading in all directions, and the things it touched, whether it was wood or stone, suddenly began to burn with a loud breath, and the red flames suddenly filled all parts of the house, burning the stone house into a fireball.
