Otherworldly Gem Merchant

--

Walking among the endless bookshelves, Yan Xiu slowly scanned the books around him.

The arrangement between bookshelves is almost '|||' type, and the width that can walk in the middle is no more than one and a half people.But the bookshelf is very high, Yan Xiu raised his head to the limit to barely see the top of the bookshelf, and there is a strange lighting thing on the top, he can't see what it is.

At first, Yan Xiu thought that such a high bookshelf was to match the height of the giant dragon, but the size of the books and the width between the bookshelves couldn't fit even a claw of the giant dragon.It seems a little unreasonable...but no matter how unreasonable, Yan Xiu would not think so much.His main purpose of coming here is to gain power, and he cannot live up to the kindness of Shana who sent him here.

Trying to cheer himself up, Yan Xiu began to look for the books he wanted from the bookshelves around him.

He took out a book, which read "Compendium of Magic", and Yan Xiu casually flipped through a few pages. The book talked about how to use magic correctly without wasting magic power, and how to use what kind of magic. What about the details.Flip through a few pages at will, and the book is all about all kinds of magic.It would definitely be valuable to take it outside, but this book is useless to Yan Xiu, an ordinary person who doesn't even have an elemental affinity, no matter how detailed he knows.

Putting the books back on the bookshelf, looking at the bookshelves full, Yan Xiu took a deep breath and slowly searched.

One, two, three...

Yan Xiu pulled out the book again and again and put it back again and again, his arm started to ache, Yan Xiu didn't know how many books he had pulled out, every time he pulled out he held hope, every time he put it back with disappointment .

Not this one, not this one, not this one...

After changing several places, the books that Yan Xiu pulled out were either about magic or battle qi, and did not introduce anything else.Yan Xiu couldn't help but feel that maybe he shouldn't come here, this is a palace of knowledge, even if there is a way for people to master powerful power, it is only based on having elemental affinity or fighting spirit.An ordinary person like him, even if he came, would not change in any way.

The book in his hand became very heavy, Yan Xiu silently put the book back.

I've spent a lot of time here, so I'd better go back first.

As soon as he turned around, Yan Xiu was startled by the sudden appearance of a figure, his heart was beating rapidly.Yan Xiu maintained the movement of turning around and stared blankly at the person who appeared—it should be said that he was not a human being, but a very shrunken little old man. His ears were not human ears, but stretched out like cattail fans, wrinkled It also has tiny scales on its face.

Yan Xiu was silent and did not speak, but the little old man seemed unable to hold back, his thin body floating in the air was bouncing up and down, "Hey, there are actually humans here."

The old man floated in the air and turned around Yan Xiu, "No matter how you look at it, you are human beings, how can there be human beings here? Hey human beings, did you sneak in by yourself? That's not right, this place can be done by anyone. Did you sneak in, let alone you, an ordinary human who can't be more ordinary... Certainly, some stupid dragon brought you here, right?"

"..." Yan Xiu pursed his lips and remained silent. He didn't want to cause trouble for Shana, but now it seemed that trouble was coming to him.

"Hey, it's no use not talking, old man, I don't know anything I want to know." The thin old man held a short magic wand in his hand, shaped like a withered branch, but with a leaf Young green leaves. "Aren't you going to tell me who it is? If you don't tell me, I'm going to ring the bell. By then it will be too late?"

Yan Xiu still kept his mouth shut. He didn't know what the old man meant by ringing the bell, but it must be something like an alarm.He would be very sorry if Shanna was involved.Either way, Shanna's name couldn't come out of his mouth.

"Hehe, the mouth is really tough." The old man narrowed his eyes, and his smiling face was all wrinkled together, "Is it Shana? I told you, I will know what I want to know."

"I was the one who broke in." Yan Xiu stood on the spot and looked at the old man vigilantly.

"Don't be so guarded against me. If you tell me why you came in, maybe I won't ring the bell when I'm in a good mood. Tell me after you think it through." The old man floated in front of Yan Xiu, heaving up and down slightly.

"For strength."

"Looking at you like this, I know why you came here, but ah, you don't even have elemental affinity and vindictiveness, you are just an ordinary person, give up, and get out of here quickly. It's rare that I don't feel like ringing the bell today." The old man Er waved at Yan Xiu, impatiently telling Yan Xiu to leave quickly.

Hearing the old man's words, Yan Xiu was very unwilling, "Are there only books on magic and fighting spirit here?"

"Of course it's more than that, but so what if there is, do you understand?" The old man turned his head to look at Yan Xiu impatiently, but after looking twice, he turned around and circled around Yan Xiu twice, "Hey, why is your breath so strange?"

"..." Faced with the startled old man, Yan Xiu was a little helpless.

Maybe seeing Yan Xiu's stiff expression, the old man coughed and floated in front of Yan Xiu, his thin body became smaller between the bookshelves, "You, come with me. If you don't understand, get out quickly, understand?" ?”

"Thank you." Yan Xiu walked quickly behind the old man.Ever since he arrived in Fangsi Continent, there is no text he can't understand, and he can understand Dragon Language.If it was an accident, Yan Xiu himself would not believe it. He could only say that he could understand and understand it.

Although the old man flew ahead to lead the way for Yan Xiu, he sneakily glanced at Yan Xiu.

This human being is too strange to have such a strange breath?It feels like an aura that a dragon would like... It's not a good feeling.Has Morte ever seen this strange human being? "Hey, have you seen Morty?"

"I've seen it." Yan Xiu followed the old man around a huge bookshelf, and seemed to have reached the innermost part of the bookshelf.The line of sight is much darker than the outside.

The old man stopped talking, and brought Hughes to a small bookshelf.

Yan Xiu looked at this bookshelf a little bit. Compared with those new and huge bookshelves before, this bookshelf in front of him can only be described as simple or even inconspicuous.Although the books inside have not been damaged in any way, it is easy to see that these books are not only not used often, but may have been shelved for a long time.

"I don't really understand the books on this shelf. It's been here for a long time." The old man pointed to the books on the shelf with his wand, "However, these books are handed down by the previous old men. Yes, it should help you—if you can read, human."

Listening to the old man's words, Yan Xiu observed the books in the bookshelf.Just like what the old man said, the writing on the books in this bookshelf is completely different from what he saw in the slightly outer part just now, they are completely two kinds of writing.However, for him, there is still no problem.

Taking a few steps closer to the bookshelf, Yan Xiu scanned the books on the shelf.

"How to Control a Dragon Properly", "The Way to Prevent the Dragon from Pooring You", "The Way to Raise Humans"...

——I always feel that I have seen a lot of strange things.

Resisting his sudden surge of curiosity, Yan Xiu silently looked away from those books.Then, he finally saw a book that made him have the urge to flip through it.

"Fans Continent and Gems"

Regardless of whether it is about gem trees or not, as long as it is related to gems, Yan Xiu is very interested.After all, something to do with gems = something to do with him.

"Oh, it's this one." The old man followed Yan Xiu's line of sight and saw a familiar book, "This book introduces all the gems on the Fance Continent, and there are also many extinct gems. Very A good book. Hey, human, do you understand the name of this book?"

"A little bit." Yan Xiu didn't dare to deny it. If he suddenly saw the book he wanted later, how could he pick out the book he wanted if he didn't know it at all?

"Come and show me, what is this book?" The old man waved his wand, and a book with a gray cover flew down from the bookshelf.

There was no text on the book with a pure gray cover, and the old man put the book in Yan Xiu's hands.

He didn't have much hope, and he treated a dead horse as a living horse doctor.This book was also handed down along with the previous few old men, but he couldn't understand a single word.I really don't know what those old ghosts mean.Not even telling him the contents of this book, which makes it difficult for him, the guardian of the Palace of Knowledge, to do a good job!He doesn't even know the contents of the book. If he encounters a dragon and asks about the book, he can't even tell the reason. Is it plausible!

Naturally, Yan Xiu didn't know the mental activities of the old man next to him.After getting the book, he opened it, and unexpectedly saw the tree painted on the first page, which looked very familiar to him. He had only seen a tree very similar to this one the night before.The fingers that turned the page paused, and then turned another page.

This book draws the appearance of the gem tree in detail, and introduces every feature of the gem tree.The more Yan Xiu saw the back, the more he understood the value of this book.For him, this book is a must.Although I don't know why there is this book in the dragon's temple of knowledge, it is very good to have this book, and it has helped him a lot.

Turning to the catalog page in a hurry, Yan Xiu glanced over and saw the word [Attack] clearly.In that instant, Yan Xiu's breathing became short of breath.

"Hey, don't make a mistake, this book is impossible for you." Seeing Yan Xiu's excited state, the old man immediately put the book back in his hand, and looked at Yan Xiu vigilantly.

Yan Xiu stared blankly at the old man, he had the urge to grab him, but he definitely couldn't beat the old man - he had been floating in the air for most of the day, even Moore couldn't do it. "I need this book badly."

"It's impossible for me to give it to you. This is the treasure of the Palace of Knowledge." The old man said very seriously, and his wrinkled face seemed to become solemn because of this.

"..." Yan Xiu is not a smooth-talking person, he just stood firmly in front of the old man, stubbornly looking at the old man floating in front of him.He needed the book, and he wouldn't give it up no matter what.He needs strength so much.

"This is really troublesome." Looking at the persistent face in front of him, the old man felt a little headache.But when he rolled his eyes, he seemed to have thought of a good idea. "Human, you want this book, don't you?"

"Yes."

"Then how about it." The old man took the book in his hand and turned it around twice, looking at Yan Xiu with a smile, "I don't allow you to take the book back. But you can use the parchment to copy it yourself."

In this way, he can also understand what is written in this book.

"Okay, let's do this for today. You go out quickly, those two stupid dragons should be waiting too soon." With a wave of the magic wand in the old man's hand, Yan Xiu felt a blur in front of his eyes, and stood on the ground of knowledge. outside the palace.

Shana turned her head and suddenly saw Yan Xiu's figure, and hurriedly stood up, "Hughes, why did you come out suddenly? Have you been found?"

"There is an old man." Yan Xiu walked to Shana's side and patted Shana's huge paw, "Don't worry, I found it."

"Huh?" Shanna opened her mouth wide in surprise, "You mean, you want power..."

"Yes."

"That's really great, congratulations, Hughes!" Shana spread her wings and let Yan Xiu crawl into its claws, "Let's go, go back!"
