The burly middle-aged coachman, after the carriage was ready, Raymond changed his mind.

Choosing a burly escort, Raymond did not go to the castle of the Lord of Highwinson, but had a carriage take him to the commercial district of the port of Kaiton.

From the castle to the business district, Raymond looked at the prosperity around him, and his depressed mood became better.

Riding a tall horse, the guard wearing the special leather armor of the City Lord's Mansion Mai Gao, with knotted muscles all over his body, looks powerful, and Mai Gao, who is only in his early twenties, has a full beard, which makes his face look a little hideous.

As the carriage entered the business district, the faces of the people shopping were filled with warmth and joy, so it seemed that the security of the port of Kaiton should be good.

After entering the business district, the spacious and luxurious carriage could no longer move forward, so the coachman stayed outside, and Lei Meng, who walked into the business district with the escort Maigao, asked the escort Maigao: "Is there a shop specializing in selling books in Zhilu Road?"

"My lord, there is only one book shop in the entire port of Kaiton, which is in the innermost part of the shopping street. ”

The reckless guard Mai Gao, although he didn't say much, but under his escort, the surrounding crowd was isolated from Raymond three feet away, but he was very dutiful.

Following the escort Maigao through the flow of people, soon Raymond came to an antique book franchise store under his guidance.

Standing at the door, the clerk in a gray uniform led Raymond into the store, and through a glass separating the inside and outside of the store, Raymond could see that there were more than a dozen rows of large bookshelves inside the store, and a dazzling array of books were neatly placed inside.

The smell of ink lingers throughout the store, but there is a faint smell of fish.

The guard who stood behind Raymond with his hands on his chest was high, and when Raymond was seated, he shouted impatiently: "Call your boss over!

The angry shouts of the guard Maigao urn made an old man stumble out of the shop, and after seeing the guard's costume clearly, a trace of fear appeared on the old man's face.

"Dear lord, welcome to the shop, what kind of books do you need?" quickly piled up a smile on his face, and the old man greeted Raymond very warmly: "The shop is the largest book dealer on the entire West Coast, no matter what kind of books you have, you can find them here!"

Raymond, who frowned, pointed to the bookshelf in the back store and asked, "What languages are the books in the store?"

His expression was stunned, and the old man who didn't expect Raymond to ask such a question was a little dazed: "Language?Most of the books in this store are printed versions of the lingua franca, what type of books do you want to find?history?biography?or what?"

Seeing that the old man didn't react, Raymond reached out and dipped some water in the water glass, and wrote the strange words on the cover of his book on the table with water.

Pointing to the text, Raymond patiently asked, "Do you have any printed books in your store that use such words?"

The old man who leaned over and looked at it for a long time before he suddenly suddenly realized: "Honorable lord, this kind of writing is in ancient Torris, and there are several such books in our store!"

Happily summoned the man who was standing on the side, and after the old man's soft command, soon the young man held a few thick books and sent them to Raymond.

Jīng's beautiful printing, thick, heavy books can be used as city bricks, and the text inside is exactly the same as what Raymond wrote.

The old man rubbing his palms, when he saw the gold coins that Raymond casually threw on the table, immediately understood what Raymond meant, and he introduced it quickly.

"Your Excellency, in addition to such books in the ancient Torris, the shop also has a collection of Andean, Spartonian, Dalu lingua franca, Matana, and even two books, which are said to be handwritten copies of ancient wizard scripts!"

The old man's introduction made Raymond secretly relieved, and Raymond, who had narrowed his eyes, knocked on the table with his fingers and said his request: "Choose the three thickest books in your store to send me." ”

The excited old man, without saying a word of nonsense, rushed to the store with the little guy, and soon the heavy books were sent to Raymond.

Looking at the Andean book that was carried by the last two people and brought to him, Raymond was a little dumbfounded.

The book was more than half a meter high, and the cover was covered with dust, which surprised the guards standing behind Raymond.

And the two manuscripts that were kept in the box by Jīng's heart made Raymond smile even more.

There were a total of seven books in seven characters, except for the thickest one, and the two thin hand-copied books that were kept in a box by Jīng's heart, Raymond asked for two sets of other books.

Later, before leaving the shop, Raymond also instructed the shopkeeper to do one thing for him, that is, to find the person who recited these words for him, and let them apply for a job in the castle.

The strange request made the old man of the bookstore scratch his head, but the generous remuneration promised by Raymond immediately made the old man stunned.

A gold coin a day only needs to be in the castle where Raymond lives, and recite the contents of these books for him.

Raymond's only requirement is that these employees who can read words and can read words must not be inarticulate.

Of course, if a beautiful young woman can apply, Raymond also promises an additional reward.

The task of recruitment was handed over to the old man of the bookstore, and the whole half-carriage of books followed Raymond back to the castle.

With the help of the chip, a total of nine books were quickly stored in the chip.

Most of these books that have not been sold all year round, the paper inside has a musty smell, and there are even a few unique books, because they are made of animal skins, so after all the books have been recorded, the room is filled with a faint stench, which is very uncomfortable.

Raymond, who was unprepared for this, could only temporarily abandon the master bedroom on the top floor of the castle and move to the next room.

And in the next few days, the influx of applicants made the castle bustle.

There are many people who can recognize and clearly recite the lingua franca of the Great Road and Spartonian, while the number of people who can grasp other languages is very rare.

Therefore, the selection of the lingua franca and Spartan language of the recruitment road became a beauty contest, and two young and beautiful girls who studied in the port of Kaiton successfully stood out and became Raymond's employees.

The ancient Torrean language, which was often used by wizards, was barely up to the mark by an old scholar.

The rest of the languages are simply unrecognizable, let alone proficient in recitation.

After recruiting the people he needed, Raymond lay on his recliner every day and listened to them read to him everything in the books.

History, biographies of celebrities, bard nonsense stories, and even some erotic notes that circulate in the palace......
