Mortal practice

This feeling is very strange, never before.

Wein secretly wondered if he had seen this person before, but after thinking about it carefully, he really had no impression, so he had to put this strange feeling aside.

"Where did you get these books?" He continued to ask unwillingly.

"Where else can it come from?" Su Jue looked surprised, raised his eyebrows and said, "It came from the manufacturer."

Wein carefully looked at Su Jue's expression, but couldn't tell whether the other party's surprised expression was real or not, so he had to give up.

"Then do you know that the value of this book is definitely more than three gold coins?"

Su Jue raised his eyebrows: "So sir, are you here to add money?"

Wein was a little embarrassed when he heard this: "No... I just came to ask."

His money is usually kept by the servants who follow him, but now he is in a hurry to go out, and he didn't let the servants follow him, and he doesn't have any money on him.

Su Jue looked at the young man's reddish ears, and smiled: "I don't need you to add money, since it belongs to you now, it is destined for you."

"Boss," Wein looked at the shallow smile of the person in front of him, and for some reason a strange familiar feeling surged in his heart. After he settled down, he continued to ask: "When did you come here? From this bookstore? I don’t think I’ve seen you before?”

"It's been a year since I've been here. It's normal for you to have no impression of a small bookstore." Su Jue looked as usual.

Wein really paid little attention to these small corners on the street. There are many bookstores on this street. This one is too inconspicuous, and he has never been to it, so what the other party said makes sense.

Although the other party did not provide any useful information, the purpose of coming here has been achieved. Wein stood for a while and realized that he should leave. After all, it is too strange to stay and continue talking.

"Can I tell you your name?" Wein picked up the book again, hesitated for a moment, looked at Su Jue and asked politely.

"Just call me Su Jue." Su Jue replied.

"Su... Jue?" Wein had never heard such a strange name, his expression was inexplicable for a moment, but he returned to normal in an instant, nodded and smiled: "My name is Wayne Ferlock, although I got this book from you The book can't add money to you for the time being, but if you have any troubles and need help in the future, you can take this ring and find me in Fellock Manor."

After speaking, he took off the emerald ring on his thumb, put it on the table in front of Su Jue, and left.

Su Jue glanced at the ring in front of him. There was a line of words engraved on the edge of the ring, which seemed to be the words of the Ferlock family, and a unique magical imprint could be felt on it.

This young man handed over such a valuable thing to him so easily. Is it because he is really rich that he doesn't care, or does he have no defense against himself?

However, this was exactly what Su Jue wanted. Su Jue put the ring into the storage bag of the original owner, and secretly thought of an excuse to find him in the manor next time.

In the end, before he could think of a decent excuse, he saw the young man in the bookstore the next day.

Su Jue looked at Wein who looked uncomfortable.

"Boss, do you have any other similar magic books here?" Wein asked.But after saying this, he couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

These words sound to people, as if the master's handwriting is not enough, and he wants to greedily ask for more.

Since Su Jue said yesterday that the book was destined for it, he didn’t look surprised when he said the value of the book. It shows that Su Jue is not ignorant of the value of the book. Asking if there is any similar, it does seem a little cheeky.

Although he didn't come here for this.Wein has always done things to the point, and he is very good at guessing people's hearts. How could he do such a demeaning thing?

Su Jue looked at Wein with a smile in his eyes: "Mister, do you want a few more books by Mr. S?"

"Hey, it doesn't matter if you don't have any. If there are other good book owners, you can also recommend them..." Wein felt a little hot on his face when he said this.

"Please tell me the real purpose of your coming here." Su Jue looked at the young man: "I will answer every question."

Wein looked at the transparent eyes of the bookstore owner with some surprise, and the previous embarrassment subsided a little. He hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "Your Excellency gives me a familiar feeling, have we met?"

"Do you have an impression of my face?"

Wein shook his head: "No... I have never seen Your Excellency in my memory."

He has always been confident in his memory.

Su Jue looked as usual: "Then I haven't seen it before."

Wein opened his mouth to refute, but felt that this logic was indeed unmistakable, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

"However, if you're willing to reward yourself, we can make friends." Su Jue continued.

Wein was stunned, and Su Jue motioned to the sofa chair next to the table in front of him: "If you are tired, you can sit here."

Wein waved his hand: "Just stand for a short while, I'm not tired."

Su Jue smiled softly: "However, I'm tired of talking to Your Excellency with my head up."

Vin's expression froze and he felt a little depressed, but he still sat on that chair.

To be honest, compared to many people, his personality can be called gentle and kind, but he is a noble young master after all, and he is usually respected.

This was the first time someone had spoken to him like this.

And he didn't feel angry, instead he felt kind.

He suddenly felt that sitting in this small bookstore seemed more comfortable than in the manor.In the manor, his parents have strict requirements on him, always pay attention to the status of the young master, and the servants are not allowed to have too many conversations with him.Talking to this boss now, although the other party is rude to talk about something, it just makes him feel relaxed.

In the next few days, Su Jue could see young people in the bookstore from time to time. The other party would come to buy a few books, talk to him, or sit quietly. tacit understanding.

This day was the same as usual, Su Jue was sitting in his seat reading a book, and the young man was reading a book on the sofa. In the quiet bookstore, there was only the sound of pages being turned from time to time, and a strange sound suddenly sounded.

The voice came from the back of the bookstore, and Wein instantly recognized that it came from a secret door in the corner, and the voice was very similar to... a dragon?

He turned to look at Su Jue in surprise: "Boss..."

Su Jue seemed to have just remembered something.

For the sake of convenience, the original owner brought his beloved pet here, and it was time to feed it.

He squatted down, dug out a large bag of dragon food from the large cabinet under the original owner's seat, then got up straight and walked towards the secret door.

Of course, Wein saw what the bag of feed was for, he stood up and looked at Su Jue, hesitating to speak.

"Follow me if you want to see it, it's okay." Su Jue said indifferently when he noticed the movement of the person behind him.

Seeing the calm appearance of the other party, Wein felt a little guilty for his doubts about this person for a moment, but couldn't bear his curiosity, so he followed Su Jue into the secret door.

"Be careful of the stairs." Su Jue reminded in a low voice.

Wein was secretly surprised when he saw that there was a staircase leading to the underground inside the secret door. It turned out that this bookstore also had a basement.

Su Jue led Wein all the way down the stairs to the basement. Although he had expected it, the sight in front of him made Wein's eyes widen.

He heard and saw right before, it was indeed a dragon, and it was a grown-up dragon, lying on the ground with a listless look, besides, there was a road behind the basement that could The passage through the dragon's body is dark and deep, and I don't know where it leads.

"Her name is Sanna. I have raised her mount since she was a child. She is very loyal," Su Jue seemed to see the doubt in Wein's mind, and said, "This passage leads to the forest outside the city. There's no better way to get out of town than to take Na out of town."

"Sudden event? The city has been peaceful for hundreds of years, and I have never heard of any major event in recent years." Wein is worthy of being the carefully cultivated heir to the Ferlock family business, and he grasped the key at once.

Su Jue glanced at him, and his dark eyes stayed on Wein's face for a moment, with inexplicable emotions in his eyes, which made Wein's heartbeat stop for a moment.

Su Jue hesitated for a while and still didn't tell the other party the truth.

This path was prepared by the original owner to deal with the necromancer who was rumored to wake up in the near future. If he told the young man about the use, it is hard to say whether the other party would believe it. After all, the news was strictly blocked by the king's order.

But again there is no better explanation.

"Just in case." Su Jue could only say casually.

It wasn't until the other party looked away from him that Wein realized that he had subconsciously held his breath just now, and couldn't help feeling a little funny.

For a moment just now, he felt that Su Jue's eyes had seen through the world, and he had experienced a lot, but judging from the appearance of the other party, the other party was obviously not much older than himself.

However, he didn't quite believe Su Jue's explanation. He felt that the other party must be hiding something from him. This knowledge made Wein feel a little uncomfortable for no reason.

And there is another point that cannot be ignored - a creature like a dragon cannot be used as a mount for ordinary people, especially an adult dragon.

Who is Su Jue?

In fact, Su Jue didn't care about the young man's suspicion at all. He put the food in a basin in front of the dragon named Sanna. The other party was a very docile female dragon. Seeing the food arrived, she bowed slightly. He got up, lowered his head to eat, and rubbed his head against Su Jue from time to time.

Su Jue raised his eyebrows. According to the memory of the original owner, although the dragon was very affectionate to the original owner, it actually rarely made such movements. Usually when it rubbed against itself like this, it meant that it was tired of staying and wanted to go out to play.

Sure enough, after Sanna finished enjoying her food, she kept looking at herself with big eyeballs, and continued to rub her head against him from time to time.

"Want to go out and play?"

The mother dragon grunted in response.

The corner of Su Jue's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at the young man beside him.

Wayne froze.
