Wizard of science

After being stunned for a while, the stall owner came to his senses.

But under the robe, an obvious sound of inhalation could still be heard.

Obviously, he was very surprised that Li Hyuk could actually produce so many rubies as promised.

"Awesome, you are really awesome. It's a bit beyond my imagination." The stall owner said to Li He, "Originally, I thought you were talking big words before. You took out a few rubies and you were so powerful, but I didn't expect you gave me a big one." Surprise. Let me guess, you are definitely not a wizard - wizards have their own trading channels and will not come to a place like the night market where their status is compromised.

Therefore, you are a wizard apprentice, and it is absolutely impossible for a wizard apprentice to have so many rubies. There should be a wizard behind you who loves to collect resources, and his strength should not be weak. Is it Dean Bidongke? Dean Falkner? Or maybe the wizard Montesquieu? Are you a student of one of them? "

"..." Li He didn't respond. After a while, he said, "What is my identity and who is standing behind me have nothing to do with our transaction, right?"

"Uh-huh, that's not true." The stall owner responded and apologized quickly, "I was rude and I shouldn't have inquired. I was a little excited and couldn't hold it back. Okay, let's get back to the transaction now. I look at the quality of the gems, and don’t use some defective ones to make up the number.”

As he spoke, the stall owner put his hand into the bag, took out a few rubies from the inside, and observed them carefully.

After observing, there was a sudden long silence.

After a while, he looked at Li He and then spoke again: "I said... I now suspect that the person standing behind you is not Dean Bidongke, Dean Faulkner, or the Montesquieu wizard. Which one of them, I think they might all be behind you."

"Um?"

"Don't get me wrong, because the quality of these rubies of yours is really high. They are large in size, good in shape, deep in color, good in light, and free of impurities... Each one can be considered top quality, and usually one can be worth two. I really I can’t figure out where you got it from. Unless you were collecting and selecting rubies several years ago, when rubies were not so scarce in the academy.”

"So, my ruby ​​is qualified, right?"

"Of course it's qualified. It's so qualified... I can't help but want to raise the price for you. But having said that, I was talking about a hundred rubies at the beginning. Even though you brought so many high-quality rubies, I can't take the initiative to change them. Don’t ask for it. At most, I’ll provide it to you for free when I have a meditation book, because I really need rubies here.”

After a pause, the stall owner said seriously: "So, one hundred pills cannot be missing. And the quantity you gave seems a bit insufficient, friend?"

After gently bumping the bag, the stall owner said: "There are only about fifty rubies in it, and half of them are missing. Are you really going to treat one ruby ​​as two and come with me?" A deal?"

"That's not true. There are indeed fifty rubies here, only half of them." Li He replied, "These fifty rubies are used to pay for the purchase of books. The remaining fifty rubies are waiting for me to follow you. Go to the wizard's private library and check the information once before paying you."

"Why..." The stall owner couldn't help but want to ask why, but as soon as he spoke, he suddenly understood, "My friend, you think it's not safe enough, right? Do you think I might lie to you?"

"There's no harm in being careful, right? You never thought you'd get a hundred rubies so quickly, right? Now there's nothing wrong with getting all the rubies a day or two later, right?"

"Okay, you convinced me." The stall owner didn't hesitate anymore, quickly packed all the books and handed them to Li He, "Then you can take all these books. Today, the wizard has something to do, so you can't interrupt. Tomorrow... tomorrow at this time, we will still be here, we will meet, and I will take you to the wizard-sama's private library to look up information."

"Okay, it's settled."

"It's a deal!"

…

Soon, another night comes.

Li He arrived as promised, and the stall owner was really waiting.

After a quick greeting, the stall owner turned around and walked towards a side road: "I will take you to the wizard's private library."

"Okay." Li He quickly followed.

Marching all the way to the residence of Dark Heart Academy, we passed a pond, a small forest, and climbed over a small hill, and finally arrived in front of a lonely, somewhat dilapidated three-story wooden building.

On the way, Li He also learned the name of the stall owner-Geller.

At the same time, I learned some rules for visiting the wizard’s private library:

First, no yelling.

Second, it is prohibited to use any spells or items related to fire.

Third, if you encounter cats, owls and other pets during this period, do not panic or act aggressively, just treat them kindly, because they are all pets raised by the wizard, the owner of the library.

fourth……

fifth……

"Do you remember all the rules?" Standing in front of the wooden building, the stall owner Geller asked Li He.

"I remember everything." Li He nodded.

"That's good, follow me in, and hurry up. The wizard should be conducting a research now, and he won't bother to talk to us for at least two hours. The time is perfect!"

As he spoke, Geller swallowed his saliva and carefully pushed open the wooden door.

A dark, long and narrow corridor appeared inside the wooden door. There were densely packed rooms on both sides of the corridor, and at the end was a staircase that spiraled up.

The walls of the corridor and the handrails of the stairs are all inlaid with hideous pumpkin lanterns. The orange light shines through the gaps carved by the pumpkin lanterns, barely illuminating the interior of the wooden building.

Geller led Li He into it, walked through the entire corridor, and climbed to the second floor gently.

In the middle of the corridor on the second floor, a thick black wooden door was opened and entered.

Suddenly, a private library with at least two to three thousand books appeared in front of Li He.

There are more than ten bookshelves in the room, which is not very big. Each bookshelf holds two to three hundred books.

Geller pointed to a red bookshelf and said: "That bookshelf contains all meditation books, or books related to meditation. The content is more advanced than the books I sold you. If the books last night did not give you You can try your luck here. But pay attention to the time and don’t stay too long, so as not to make the wizard unhappy. And I, when you are reading, will always be watching to prevent you from damaging or stealing. Do you have any objection to collecting books?"

"No objection, please do as you please." Li He said without any hesitation, he quickly walked to the red bookshelf, took down a book from it, and began to read it carefully.

Time is limited and cannot be wasted.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

For a moment, the whole room could only hear the sound of pages turning.

…
