016 Book Buying

After the burly middle-aged coachman got the carriage ready, Raymond changed his mind.

Picking out a burly guard, Raymond didn't go to Havenson's castellan's castle, but let the carriage take him to the commercial area of ​​Kayton Port.

Coming to the business district from the old castle, Lei Meng looked at the bustling surroundings, and his depressed mood became better.

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

As the carriage entered the commercial area, the faces of the shoppers were filled with warmth and joy, so it seemed that the law and order in Kaidun Port should be good.

After entering the business district, the spacious and luxurious carriage could no longer move forward, so the coachman was left outside, and Lei Meng, who walked into the business district with his guard Maigao, asked the guard Maigao: "Do you know where there are special book sellers?" shop?"

"Reporting to my lord, there is only one book store in the entire Kayton Port, and it is at the innermost part of the commercial street."

Maigao, the guard who looked like a reckless man, did not speak much, but under his guard, the surrounding crowd were isolated three feet away from Lei Meng, which was very conscientious.

Following the guard Maigao through the crowd, Raymond soon came to an antique book specialty store under his guidance.

A clerk in a gray uniform standing at the door led Lei Meng into the store. Through a glass that separated the inside and outside of the store, Lei Meng could see the inside of the store. There were dozens of rows of large bookshelves. Neatly placed inside.

There was an ink-like smell lingering in the whole shop, but there was also a faint fishy smell.

Maigao, the guard standing behind Lei Meng with his arms crossed, waited for Lei Meng to sit down, and he shouted impatiently: "Call your boss over here! You little guy will only waste my lord's time!"

The guard Mai Gao yelled loudly, causing an old man to stumble and run out of the shop. After seeing the guard Mai Gao's clothes clearly, a trace of fear appeared on the old man's face.

"Dear Sir, welcome to the store. What kind of books do you need?" A smile quickly appeared on his face, and the old man warmly greeted Lei Meng: "The store is the largest book dealer in the entire west coast. Whatever the book, you can find it here!"

Raymond frowned, pointed to the bookshelf in the back shop and asked, "What languages ​​are there books in the shop?"

The old man's expression froze, he didn't expect Lei Meng to ask such a question, and he was a little dazed: "Language? Most of the books in this store are printed versions of the common language. What kind of books are you looking for? History? Biography? Or something ?”

Seeing that the old man didn't react, Lei Meng dipped his hand into the water glass, and wrote the strange text on the cover of his book on the table with water.

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

The old man leaned over, and after reading it for a long time, he suddenly realized: "My lord, this kind of writing is in ancient Torric language. There are several books like this in this store!"

He happily summoned the buddy standing aside, and after the old man's soft orders, the young guy soon brought several thick books to Raymond.

Beautifully printed, thick and heavy books can be used as city bricks, and the words inside are exactly the same as those written by Raymond.

The old man, rubbing his palms, saw the gold coins Lei Meng threw on the table at random, and immediately understood what Lei Meng meant, and he quickly introduced it.

"My lord, in addition to such books in ancient Torres, the shop also collects Andean, Sparton, Common, Matana, and even two books, which are said to be written by ancient wizards. copy!"

The old man's introduction made Raymond secretly heave a sigh of relief. With his eyes narrowed, Raymond tapped on the table with his fingers and said his request: "Choose three kinds of books in various languages ​​in your store. Bring me the thickest one."

The excited old man rushed into the shop with the boy without saying a single word of nonsense, and soon heavy books were delivered 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 Lei Meng.

And those two manuscripts carefully kept in the box made Raymond smile even more.

There are books in seven languages ​​in total. Except for the thickest one and the two thin handwritten copies carefully kept in boxes, Lei Meng ordered two sets of other books.

Finally, before leaving the shop, Raymond also asked the shop owner to do one thing for him, that is, to find the people who recited these words for him, and let them go to the castle to apply for a job.

The weird request made the old man in the bookstore scratch his head, but the generous reward that Raymond promised immediately made the old man dumbfounded.

For one gold coin a day, you only need to recite the contents of these books for Raymond in the old castle where Raymond lives.

Raymond's only requirement is that these employers who can read and write can't speak clearly.

Of course, Raymond promised an extra bonus if a beautiful young woman applied.

Handing over the recruitment task to the old man in the bookstore, he followed Raymond back to the castle with a half-carriage of books.

With the help of the chip, books in nine languages ​​were quickly stored in the chip.

These tomes that have not been sold all year round, the paper inside has a musty smell, and there are even a few orphan copies, because they are made from animal skins, so the room after recording all the books Inside, there was a faint stench, which was very uncomfortable.

Unprepared for this, Raymond 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 flock of applicants made the castle noisy.

There are many people who can recognize and recite the common language of Dalu and Sparton clearly, but the people who can master other languages ​​are very rare.

Therefore, the selection of Dalu Common Language and Spartan Language became a beauty contest. Two young and beautiful girls who were studying in Kaiton Port successfully stood out and became Lei Meng's employees.

As for the ancient Torris language that is often used by wizards, there is only one old scholar who can barely meet the requirements.

For the remaining languages, no one can recognize them at all, let alone recite them proficiently.

After recruiting the people he needed, Raymond would lie on his recliner every day, listening to these people read everything in the book to him in front of him.

History, biographies of famous people, nonsense stories about bards, and even some pornographic notes circulating in the palace...
