The Whispering Verses Chapter 959: Library transactions

Complaining in his heart about his laziness, Shade carefully let go of Luvia who was hugged by him, but the motion of getting up still woke up the purple-eyed girl. Luvia, Dorothy and Lesia all knew that Shade had the habit of getting up on time, so they were not surprised that he woke up now.

"Louvia, come and pick out a few."

Shade sat up and took the wooden box from the bedside table. After opening it, he handed it to Luvia. Luvia was sleepy and did not leave the warm quilt. She asked Shade to put the wooden box on the pillow. Top:

"Really, getting up with girls and immediately giving them beautiful jewelry and jewelry, detective, where did you learn this bad habit?"

Despite this, she still lay on her side and took away a purple gem. The color of the gem was very similar to her eyes.

Shad didn't respond to Luvia's teasing. He looked around and didn't see little Mia. He couldn't remember where the cat was last night, only that Luvia's new pajamas were beautiful.

"Mia?"

After getting dressed and walking out of the bedroom, he saw the cat looking at him pitifully in the air. The reason why it is in the air is because Shade did not put away the palm-sized slate with silver horns last night. Now the cat is lying on the slate floating in the air.

This was not the first time that Luvia stayed overnight in Saint Teresa Square, so she stored some of her clothes in the astrology room reserved for her on the third floor. There was no need to rush home to change clothes this morning, so I had breakfast with Shade before going to work on Silver Cross Avenue.

Even because St. Teresa's Square is closer to Silver Cross Avenue, she doesn't have to worry.

While eating breakfast, Shade mentioned that the "Lady of the Lake" promised him that for every time he completed the first three trials, he could get a gift or bring a friend to see her. The first time, Shade brought Sister Devlin, and now Shade still has two chances left.

Priest August is not willing to see another angel. The doctor can ask again. Although Dorothy and Lesia are also very special, they cannot use the [Magician's Escape] which can only be used by high-level warlocks. box】.

Although Luvia was lower in level than the two princesses, Shade believed that she could use the relic, so during breakfast that day, he asked Luvia about her wishes. But what was very unexpected was that Luvia refused without thinking:

"I have no questions to ask, and no wishes that others can help me realize. I will not take the initiative to meet anyone who may be related to higher-dimensional existence. Yes, Shade, thank you for your kindness, but I think you can give this opportunity to others."

She said so categorically that Xade, who originally wanted to ask the reason, found it difficult to speak. But if you think about it carefully, this should be related to the time curse on Luvia. She is rejected by time and is not even affected by the unknowable relic [Time of Retrospect]. Although Shade still doesn't know what Luvia did to make her so special, she must have destroyed something important.

Shad is still busy today, but he still dare not leave precious Mia at home. I originally thought about sending it to Miss Carina's manor for "refuge", but Luvia took the initiative to take over the responsibility of taking care of the cat for a day:

"I took it to the Oracle Association. The association does not prohibit bringing cats to work. Besides, doesn't it fit in with people's stereotypes that fortune tellers own a cat?"

The girl with purple eyes said, and Mia was reluctantly taken away by her.

While completing Old John's delivery mission on Saturday night, Shade helped the ring warlocks in Apna Library escape from the church's pursuit, and unexpectedly discovered that Sir "Guiding Moon" Shapley was suspected of being an academic spy. .

When sending the guy who was injured by the church ring warlock to No. 21 Ikem Street in Tobesk University District, Shade proposed a transaction, and Tuesday morning was the time the two parties agreed to meet.

The reason why we agreed to meet in the morning was because only by appearing in that kind of neighborhood in the morning wearing black robes could we not be noticed. When Shade knocked on the door of No. 21 in the early morning fog, the door was opened almost immediately.

He walked into the room in a flash, and then complained softly to the man who opened the door:

"Oh, **** it, don't you pay for city heating?"

The temperature inside the house is simply colder than outside the house.

The person who opened the door for Shade was a ring warlock he had never seen before. When shaking hands, Shade confirmed that his level was the sixth ring, the same as Dr. Schneider. He was taciturn, called himself "Mr. Liebert", and led Shade directly to the study on the first floor.

Except for the door and window, all four walls of the study are covered with bookcases. There are desks and sofa sets on the floor, and tea sets have already been placed on the wooden coffee table, but of course Shade will not drink the tea here.

The two did not waste time chatting, and the conversation went directly to the topic:

"The news on Saturday night was indeed leaked from our side, which led to you being rounded up by the Peace Church team. As compensation, I have negotiated terms with the gentleman from the monastery and will try my best to fulfill your request. Transaction. What do you need, sir?"

Shad was wearing a robe and a mask, and his voice behind the mask was very hoarse:

"I need a stone slab. After the collapse of the cult of the old **** [Grey Robe Sage], some people joined you. At that time, they not only brought you an amazing number of books, but also brought some special items . There should be a stone slab, roughly square in shape, with four corners surrounded by collisions. There is a chance of obtaining spiritual runes or thaumaturgy knowledge after touching it."

Xia De described based on the stone slabs he had already acquired, and [Grey Robe Sage] had no reason to make the three stone slabs look very different. After it was confirmed that one was rectangular, the other two would not be round or triangular.

The man who entertained Sha De was silent for a moment:

"I'm going to confirm whether the items you described are still in our hands."

He stood up and left. Shade sat alone in the empty room and opened today's newspaper on the coffee table. Mr. Lebert came back about half an hour later, presumably after contacting the headquarters of [Apna Library]:

"Yes, the tablet is indeed in our hands. We believe it is a book, but no one has been able to discover its secrets so far. It is the same size as you described, and there are no letters on the front and back. , the four striking corners are made of ruby-like material."

The corners of the stone slab in Shad's hand are made of metallic silver. Since the one in the hands of the Apner Library is ruby, then the corners of the last stone slab in St. Byrons are most likely to be yellow, but Not sure if it's brass or gold, but it could be topaz:

"Oh, it's in your hands. Please make an offer."

Mr. Lebert nodded:

“We never use money to judge the value of a book, we prefer to barter. Although I don’t know what this stone is, it must be an item from the previous era, and its value... ...."

"There is no need to emphasize its value. I believe I know more than you. Please tell me directly what I have to pay."

Shad interrupted him.

"Books, valuable books."

"The gentleman from the monastery must have secured some convenience for me, so please tell me what book it is."

Mr. Lebert was silent for a moment:

"I have to admit that the old gentleman at the monastery is really good at bargaining, but the value of that stone slab will not be the same as the cabbage in the market. You only need to pay a few books, which record that you can get the spiritual runes. Codex books of knowledge will suffice, which can then be compensated for with large sums of gold pounds.”

Shad thought that this was probably Old John personally negotiating the price. After all, although everyone likes gold pounds, sometimes the items pursued by ring wizards are really priceless treasures. The Apuna Library generally does not accept cash. Trading:

"If you need a book, is this okay?"

Shad reached into his pocket and took out the book "The Creeper in the Dark" that he found in the river cave yesterday, where he could obtain the [Snake] spirit rune.

Spirit runes related to animals are completely incompatible with Shad's Ring Warlock system. He himself has no intention of controlling snakes, turning into snakes, or turning into a bald man with no nostrils and eyebrows, and other people around him are not suitable for this either. Shade originally planned to sell the spiritual rune to Mr. Edmund in Coldwater Port over the weekend. At this time, he took it out to try his luck. Unexpectedly, the man who was talking to Shade immediately recognized the origin of this book:

"Book of the Pantanal."

Mr. Lebert muttered and flipped through the pages quickly:

"It should be the translated version in 1795. The word errors on pages 9 and 11 are the most important features of this version. Your book should be one of those translated manuscripts."

Speaking and sniffing again:

"The smell of the ink is okay, and the ink is mixed with she orchids that are unique to the Pantanal area. As of 1853, there are no more than 27 manuscripts of this edition of the book in stock. More than ten years ago We once got a copy of "The Creeper in the Dark" that was in poor condition and missing a quarter of its pages. We didn't expect to see a copy that was so well preserved today."

Shad noticed that while he was quickly flipping through the book in his hand, his eyes were slightly glowing with light blue. This is not the magic eye, because Shade did not feel the whispering element. This should be a unique thaumaturgy mastered by [Apna Library], used to inspect books.

"This is considered stolen goods."

Xia De emphasized, and the man nodded:

"It doesn't matter whether it's stolen goods or not. We have very professional distressing and disguise skills."

Mr. Lebert placed the book on the coffee table between the two of them:

"This is a good collection, but you have to know that this book is far inferior to the antiquities from the previous era that you want to get."

He twirled his fingers at Xia De, and Xia De snorted:

"Of course, as long as the antiquities do not belong to the Sixth Age, the price will increase exponentially. Tell me, how much price should I add? Thousands of pounds? Tens of thousands of pounds? Or, you want me to make some for you. Something else?"

ps: There will be a recommendation on the 26th. Updates will be added at that time, and at least 10,000 more updates will be added.

This chapter has been a bit less talked about in the past few days, but the reading data has not changed much. It seems that there are fewer places to complain.
