Valkyrie Europa

Chapter 313
"You really don't?" Garcia narrowed his eyes.

"It's really not there. Who is it not for sale? If there is, why don't I sell it to you?" The fat old man said with a bitter face.

"But I heard that this comic book has sold hundreds of copies in two days, but you haven't received a single one?" Garcia still didn't believe it: "You can be the biggest second-hand goods dealer in Vienna. You don't have such a popular item." Want to do something?"

"Well, to be honest, I received two copies at the beginning, but I sold them and made a few dozen silver. I thought the price was already sky-high. How did I know it has risen to this level?" Fatty The old man said helplessly: "Oh, there are so many rumors now, even if I want to accept it, where can I receive it?"

"Okay, forget it, watch it again, if you can get it, just contact me, money is not a problem." Confirming that the old man is indeed out of stock, Garcia can't help but sigh.

"Well, actually, I don't think there's any need to be in such a hurry. Didn't the manga club say that the next batch will be on sale in 4 or 5 days? It's cheaper at that time, so wait a few more days and wait a few more days. What does it matter?" The fat old man persuaded: "Besides, who knows if the rumors are true or not? How could those street painters know any martial arts? Maybe they spread the news deliberately to deceive people Woolen cloth?"

"Oh, you don't understand. Who knows what the next batch will be? What if it's changed? Anyway, you can watch it for me, and you'll get the money!" After Garcia finished speaking, he didn't look back. Get out of this little shop.

As for the authenticity of the news, Garcia had of course found someone to confirm it. Except for a few people who were secretive and talked about him, the others gave him affirmative answers. The book was called "The Great Swordsman Jack" "In the picture album, there should indeed be a sword technique!
Although he didn't know why the manga club drew a sword art in the picture book, Garcia really knew the value of a sword art.

He was born in a commoner, and he liked to listen to the legendary stories of martial arts masters since he was a child. When he grew up, he pestered his parents and sent him to a small church in the countryside to learn a kind of inner martial arts.No, it can't even be called internal strength, it can only be called "breathing method". Compared with real internal strength, it is more simplified and superficial. Few people can develop internal strength by relying on this "breathing method".And luckily, after years of hard work.Garcia became one of those very few.Coupled with a nine-stream swordsmanship bought at a high price from a wandering warrior, he has persisted until today.

Yes, because of his internal strength and his proficiency in swordsmanship, he is much stronger than ordinary people.Like those ordinary bandits and robbers, he can fight 5 or 6 by himself. Depending on the terrain, even if a dozen bandits attack together, he will be fearless.This also gave him enough capital to gain a foothold in the highly competitive business of mercenaries.

But because of this, he is extremely eager to have a more advanced martial art.Although this level of martial arts was clearly priced in churches and occasionally appeared in auctions, the price of tens of thousands of gold coins was simply not something he could afford.

In so many years of adventure career, he has also seen more than once those strong people who practice advanced martial arts, they are so powerful that they can slaughter their entire mercenary group with a wave of their hands.People can't bear the slightest resistance!Once they encounter those strong men, they can only dodge as best they can, hoping not to be noticed by their sight, and pray not to be affected by their battles. That is the fear and powerlessness of their lives being completely controlled by others.

Garcia hated such a sense of powerlessness, but there was nothing he could do.He had fantasized countless times, imagining that he was like those legendary predecessors. On the way of adventure, he accidentally discovered a relic, a secret treasure, and obtained the gifts from the powerful ancestors. .
But fantasies are just fantasies, and dreams are just dreams.After waking up from the dream, life still has to go on like this day by day.Slowly, his edges and corners were smoothed by the years, he no longer fantasized, no longer dreamed, he just wanted to save as much money as possible, and then returned to his hometown for the rest of his life.

However, this confusing news ignited his long-lost dream again. He couldn't help thinking, believing, inquiring, and searching.
Inherited swordsmanship, the swordsmanship that one dreams of
He had never been this close to it!
Walking on the street, stroking the familiar lines on the hilt of the long sword at his waist, Garcia's face was uncertain.

Finally, he stopped, he made up his mind!

If there are sword skills in comic books, they must have been collected by people!It's useless to go to the next one!Then go straight to the manga club!No matter what, there is always some stock in the comic club!Buy it if you can, if you can't.
**********
It’s not hard to find Vienna Comics Club. Follow the Art Street to the end and turn left for more than 100 meters. You don’t even need to ask. Garcia saw the signboard outside the comics club that hadn’t dried out.

The signboard is very large, hanging high above the gate. On the signboard are two paintbrushes intertwined on a painting plate, and a line of big characters "Vienna Comics Club" below it, which is very simple and clear.

It is daytime now, but the door of the manga club is closed tightly, and there are some faint voices from inside from time to time.According to some people waiting outside the door, Garcia knew that the comic studio was not open during the day, and there were hundreds of painters inside, who were painting and making comic books, and only opened the door when they got off work in the evening.

And these people waiting outside the door, some are booksellers, some are second-hand dealers, and some are curious to see the excitement, but without exception, they all want to wait for the comics club to discuss with the people from the comics club when they get off work , to buy or sell on behalf of those comic books that will be released next.

The waiting time was particularly long, but fortunately, the sun slowly sank to the horizon as usual.When it started to get dark, the door of the manga club opened.

The people outside the door rushed up immediately.

"Oh, sir, is your comic book ready? I came here specially to buy it!"

"Oh, sell it to me first, I brought cash, I can pay now!"

"I'm willing to pay more! I'm willing to pay twice the price! I bring cash, too!"

"I'm the housekeeper of Viscount Moulton, and I'm here to find the organizer of your comic club! Viscount Moulton has a big business to talk to him about!"

"The comic book hasn't been finished yet! It's expected to take another 4 days! Come back after 4 days! Besides, our comic book club doesn't cooperate with anyone! We don't need to talk about business!" The strong man who opened the door bluntly rejected everyone's request, Then he began to distribute silver coins to the painters on his own, and let them get off work.

Immediately, the merchants, who had nothing to gain, surrounded the painters who had just got off work, and for a while, there was another commotion.

Garcia did not participate in it, and when he saw the door open, he left without looking back.

The moment the door was opened, he had clearly seen the sketches hanging on the rope, as well as several complete albums piled up in the corner!
He's coming back tonight!
