An Elegant Noble's Guide to Vacations
Chapter 12 Closing the book, Liesel looked up at the sky.
Realized that this man wanted to please, and allowed him to do so?Despite noting this, it is still judged that he is a talent worth pursuing.No matter what, there is only one thing in common: this person is absolutely excellent beyond doubt.
"(Regardless of the truth, this letter is probably telling me not to do anything.)" Many nobles like to keep excellent adventurers for themselves, but this has nothing to do with him, he squeezed the envelope displeased.
"That is to say, um... that era is good wine?" "Not all of them, but that one is good, give me a bottle." "Ah, I also order food by the way, that pickled dish can help Shall I have another serving?" "Another appetizer." The envelope was crumpled into a ball by him.
Although Lieser was almost killed, but in the end it was not safe to save the day, so let's be more polite.With a loud, deliberate shudder, Sand opened the letter.
[Don't be an enemy of this person. 】
There was only one sentence in the letter.
Usually, Rey's letters are full of showing off the labyrinth items, and then finally get to the point, but this time there is only such a sentence, written in the center of the letter paper.
It was indeed Ray's handwriting.It is precisely because Shad is sure who the owner of the handwriting is that he can't believe it.
"(The man who wants to put all the things he likes in his hands will actually...)" Rey clearly liked this man very much, and even let him bring his own letter, but he didn't intend to keep him for himself.
Is it too dangerous to stay around, or is the other party too powerful to possess?If it's the former, it doesn't make sense to ask him to carry a handwritten letter, then it must be the latter.
"(He should be just an adventurer.)" Not only did Liesel claim to be so, but there were indeed rumors about this person among the information collected by Shad.
Seeing it with my own eyes, this person's appearance and gestures are full of elegance, and he was even mistaken for a nobleman, and was attacked because of it.But he is indeed not an aristocrat of any country, and only has the status of an E-rank adventurer.
"I have something to ask you." "Yes." "How do you know I'm the lord?" The two couldn't let the two know what was written in the letter. Shad put the envelope into the inner pocket and asked a question.He had planned to ask about it.
Only old acquaintances know the identity of Shad's lord. This is to curb the excessive influence of the previous lord. At the same time, it is also to prevent people from knowing where the lord is watching, so that the disadvantages that are easy to occur in money transactions can be hidden. .
"The first is your appearance. There is a book that mentions the previous lord." Liesel took out a book titled "History of the Prosperity of Markade", which recorded in detail that the commercial city obtained the title of "Commercial Country" History before the alias.
"'Black and gorgeous hair, a pair of blood-like eyes, and an incomparably handsome face, he can transform the occasion of business negotiations into a completely different space...'" "Okay." Jie Er stopped Lian Shu with a voice I was going to quote a whole section of Lieser without even opening it.
Because Jieer knew that if he didn’t stop this guy, he would keep talking until the topic came to an end, and then take advantage of the situation to talk about the textual research of the contents of the book.Jie'er would run away the moment he was preparing for the textual research, so Lieser could never get enough of the books.
"Rejected. It's impossible to find out that it's me just by looking at it." "But it's an important clue, right?" Shad is right. There are not many people with black hair and red eyes, but they are not completely absent.
So far, I don't know how many people have read "The History of the Rise and Rise of Markade". It is impossible for Shad to never pass by these people.Facing Shad's stern gaze, Lieser's smile remained unmoved.
"The other point should be the situation." "The situation?" "It was the commotion just now. You were just watching from a distance at first, but the moment the other party suspected that I was the lord, you came to the front, right?" After all, the location is right in front of the official residence. If the lord is nearby, he will definitely come over to check on the situation. Therefore, Lieser has been eyeing a few people with the same appearance and characteristics from the beginning.
Lieser spoke with ease, Jie Er helplessly raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.Who would take the opportunity to find the lord when his life was threatened?
Just because Jieer was used to it, it was just helpless. Hearing what he said, Shad looked at Lieser even with warning eyes.
"That reason is still not convincing." "Is it?" Indeed, Shad was nearby at the time.Even if he wasn't nearby, the stall square was only a stone's throw away from the official residence. He heard that a man suspected of being a lord was entangled here, so he would come over to find out.
He originally thought that someone was impersonating the lord, but when he arrived at the scene and confirmed that Lieser had clearly clarified his identity, he knew that the troublemaker had misunderstood.
"But you are the only one in the audience who didn't look at the troublemakers, but looked at me." Hearing Liesel pointing this out with a smile, Shad frowned.As he said, Shad is not interested in listening to the whining of unreasonable men, but cares more about Lieser who is being pestered.
This person obviously looked like a nobleman, but he hadn't received any news of the nobleman's visit at all. At that time, he hadn't thought that it was the adventurer who was rumored to look like a nobleman.
"The next step is to observe the reaction to the conversation." "I don't remember any explicit reaction." "Observing such details is my specialty. You walked to the front of the crowd because you were worried about us. ?” “Don’t imagine without authorization.” Even if this dispute is caused by himself, the lord does not need to be close to danger.
In his capacity, it would be easier to call the military police immediately, but Shad walked into the center of the commotion, so Lieser had full confidence.But since he denies it, he won't mention it any more.
"The next step is to talk to me to confirm." "Rejected. I didn't say anything." "People like nobles have a unique temperament?" How could an adventurer distinguish that unique temperament.
Lieser completely prevented people from knowing his true intentions, but he said such inciting words from time to time, and Shad was even a little impatient with this person.
Looking back, he didn't even know the purpose of Liesel's conversation.
He judged that Liesel was not a man who casually curry favor with the powerful, so he couldn't understand what he wanted to do.The more this person talked, the more elusive he became, provoking Shad's thoughts that had never been disturbed in business negotiations.
"Then, why did you stop me?" "Well... one of them is the letter. Since the Viscount wants me to use this letter, I don't feel ashamed to keep it with me." Jie Er listened Leaning at him was too weak a reason.
In the final analysis, regardless of the lord or the king, as long as Lieser is determined to contact the other party, even if there is no personal letter, it is possible to maintain the status of an adventurer, Jieer firmly believes.
And he cited the letter as an excuse, was it to disarm Shad, or was it the other way around?
"You think that's the model answer I'm after?" Presumably Shard thought so too, convinced that Lieser had other major goals.
This can be regarded as one of the legitimate reasons, Lieser smiled wryly, and swallowed the last bite of the last dish.Jie Er glanced at his actions from the sideways, and drank the remaining wine in the glass in one gulp.
"Including today, we will stay in Makaide for four days, and plan to arrange a sightseeing itinerary today and tomorrow." "Refused, what does this have to do with me." Facing Shad's gaze that seemed to tell him not to waste time, Liesel smiled leisurely, and put down the fork in his hand.
"It's rare to visit here on the first day, so of course you want to have a delicious dinner?" Thank you for the hospitality, Liser and the others thanked them, and walked out of the store directly.
Only the stunned Shad and the goblet containing the wine-red liquid remained.He stretched out his hands to raise his glass, and drank it with his head up like Jie Er, the over-rich aroma of the wine melted into his brain bit by bit.
"Huh..." A fleeting smile was exhaled together with the smell of alcohol.
I didn't expect that I would be used as a sightseeing tour guide.If you want to find someone who is most familiar with the commercial country to lead the way, then you can't go wrong.Wanting a nice dinner for such a trivial reason.
Shad wanted to get angry, wanted to yell about such absurd things in the world, but he couldn't do it. He understood the meaning of Ray's letter.
"Needless to say, I don't intend to be an enemy of that person." It would be great if it was just a person who knows how to exploit.But before leaving, those lofty and calm pupils did not allow this possibility to exist.
"(Anyway, we have to find out his purpose first.)" Shad's beautiful face was a little more sinister, and he secretly calculated.
Is it really possible to approach the lord of a large city just to have a meal?Even if they have no intention of being their enemies, this is not a character who can be left alone.
Including his true face, background, how much information can be collected by the commercial country's intelligence network will be the key.
"Can I clean up the table for you?" "By the way, pay the bill." Later, Shad looked at the bill brought by the clerk and crushed it with murderous intent, but that's another story.
"What happened to you provoking him so much?" "I just think it's more reliable to let the other party remember the first meeting, or leave a strong impression." "You don't need that." "Really?" The adventurer didn't care No matter how you look at it, you are a nobleman, Jieer thinks the impression is strong enough.But in Lieser's mind, he was already an out-and-out adventurer, so he couldn't notice this.No matter how much he was mistaken for a nobleman, he only thought that his behavior was a bit rookie, not a true adventurer.
"Speaking of which, isn't it dangerous for the lord to wander around alone?" "There is a person following." "Eh, I didn't notice. Are you strong?" "It's okay." The two walked leisurely on the way to the hostel. on the way.
The sky had already darkened, lights were lit on the street, and the crowds were still in an endless stream.However, the customer base changed suddenly, and among the merchants who advertised and hawked, some people began to solicit customers for the so-called "Fengyue Place".
There are fewer food vendors, and more stalls selling local products.
"Jie, what is your "okay"?" "Weaker than me, but you won't lose to the average guy." "Oh?" If the strength is better than Jie, Lieser will also show it. A little interest, if not he doesn't care.His gaze has drifted to the nearby vendors. He has just eaten, but he is looking at the stomach-warming soup on the stall.
"The two handsome guys are really handsome. How about it? Would you like to come to our store and the ladies in our family will be very happy?" Under Shad's management, it is impossible for a store that obviously violates morals to open in the main On the street, at this moment, a suspicious solicitor came over to talk to him.
Jie Er completely turned a blind eye to it, but Lieser looked at the man who was beckoning customers while cooling down the soup he had just bought.Although suspicious, the clothes are very decent, so it shouldn't be some messy store.
"Jie Er, it doesn't matter if you want to go." "Huh?" "I'll take a stroll before going back." Lieser heard from Stadt what Jie Er looked like before he met him.
At the beginning of the meeting, when talking about the history of romantic affairs, he also mentioned that although he was not addicted to women, I heard that he would occasionally play with women.
Lieser had no way of knowing his whereabouts in the middle of the night, so maybe he would go to get some air now.
"You..." Jie Er revealed an expression of displeasure from the bottom of his heart, looking at Lissel who was sipping the soup.
Using this incorruptible face to tell people to "go and play with a woman", which man would be interested in seeing it?It would be better to say that this kind of activity where women are surrounded by flattering and drinking, Jie Er is not sensitive in the first place.
Just find a woman waiting for guests, enjoy a night of spring dinner, and don't have to worry about follow-up troubles, that's all, being surrounded by the lady's noisy and charming voice, drinking some not-so-high-end wine, and having to pay for the wine He is not interested in the expensive amount.
"I want to drink in peace." "That's it." "Oh, what a pity!" The host stopped entanglement and simply let Lissel and the others leave.
Although Lieser was tempted to stop by the old books on the stall several times, the two still returned to the vicinity of the hotel when it was not dark.After walking for a short distance in the alley, you can see the stairs, and when you find a few figures in front of the stairs, Lieser and Jieer slow down.
"Ah, brother Liesel!" "Jagi?" Perhaps because of concerns about time, the man lowered his voice slightly, and a tall figure ran towards this side, it was undoubtedly Jagi.
Just said goodbye to Judge this morning, why is he here?Looking behind him, two familiar men in gendarmerie uniforms were approaching. Liesel nodded suddenly when he saw this.
"So I left them alone at that time." "Oh, it was when someone picked on me." The two remembered that when they were being harassed in the stall square, the military police came to stop them.
At that time, Lieser just replied casually, "We will talk about it another day" and got away from the commotion. It seemed that the military police did not intend to let them go just like that.
"Well, I heard that the two of you were suddenly attacked with swords, are you okay...?" From time to time, military police came to my house... I think it's because the two of you went to the city with me, so the military police came to look for me." "I'm sorry to disturb your family's rare reunion." Lieser lowered his brows apologetically , Jagi shook his head vigorously and denied it.
As far as Judge was concerned, when the gendarme came to visit, he was fidgeting with worry and was hesitant to check it out, but they came just in time.
Seeing that the two of them were safe and sound, Jia Ji also breathed a sigh of relief, and the strength in his shoulders relaxed.
Lieser patted him on the shoulder to thank him, and turned to watch the military police here.
"The two of you came to see us at such a late hour. What's wrong?" Show a wry smile.
Lieser and the others did not have any new information to provide. At that time, many onlookers witnessed the incident from beginning to end. In theory, the military police should have known that Lieser was not responsible for this incident.
The reason must not stop there, Rissel took out the guild card again.
"I'm the adventurer Lieser. I didn't expect to be mistaken for the lord this time, and I was almost hacked, and that's all." "That's it... then I'll be fine, so I won't bother you." The two gendarmes One of them looked at the guild card and seemed relieved.
In short, they doubted whether Lieser could really be the unknown lord himself.If the lord is really attacked, the military police must verify the incident as soon as possible and show work efficiency.
On the other hand, it was also because the commotion was resolved by adventurers from other places, and the military police wanted to restore their reputation.
"I know you have your own reasons, but it's really inappropriate to drag Jaggy around at this late hour." "Li...Brother Liesel...I didn't close it...uh!" Say a few words." "Even if the gendarmes investigate on their own, they can find this hotel the next day, right?" Jagi was about to take a step forward, when Jie Er grabbed him by the back collar and made him shut up.Liesel glanced at them, then turned his eyes again to the gendarme.
Jiaji and his beloved grandfather can only get together for a few days. Even if they don't know about it, the military police should not drag innocent people around for internal reasons.
Though to be honest, Judge didn't mind one bit as long as it was about Liesel.
"That's because this incident needs to be dealt with as soon as possible." "The culprit has been arrested and the incident has been clarified. What else needs to be dealt with as soon as possible?" "This..." The military police were speechless.
This time Liesel and the others did not make any mistakes, they were simply involved in the commotion, rather they wanted to ask what was going on.Although they have already asked the cause of the incident.
"...You are just standing still and being protected, how dare you have so many opinions." "Hey!" Behind the gendarme who was defending, suddenly came a rebellious voice. He kept staring at Lieser.
"What's that guy like?" "It's Jie Er's supporter, you see you are so popular." He looked at Jie Er from time to time with a bit of longing in his eyes.
It is rare for a military policeman to look up to an adventurer, but this military policeman probably respects his mighty strength.As for why Liesel was not pleasing to the eyes because of this, it can only be said that he was young and vigorous.
Seeing Ji Er's extremely bored face, I always feel that the young man is a bit pitiful.Lieser thought to himself, and spoke to the military police who were reprimanding the young man.
"Then, have you finished asking what you want to ask?" "Ah, yes, thank you for your cooperation. Let's make sure that you are not injured?" "No." "There is a knife for protection, nonsense." The young man He muttered, hearing veins burst out on the gendarme's temples, and his cheeks twitched.
Liesel shook his head lightly to express that he didn't mind, then smiled at the young man who was still staring at him, making the other party cringe for a moment.Lieser said teasingly: "Jie Er hates the kind of people who have personal affairs in public affairs." "!" The young man's shoulders shook when he heard this, and he looked at Jie Er.
Jie Er didn't even look at him, as if he was teasing Jia Ji for fun.The young man looked at this scene blankly, not knowing what he was thinking, but after this lesson, he will improve his attitude to some extent.
The grown-up gendarme looked genuinely sorry, and Liesel waved him lightly.
"Okay, Jieer, don't go too far when you're joking with Jagi." "Brother Liesel...!" Jieer finally let go of the back of his neck, Jagi leaned over crying, Liesel touched Touched his head to comfort him.
Jaggy's hunched back, which was prone to shrink back, arched more rounded. While accepting Lieser's touch, he aimed at the young man who was staring at Lieser with a bitter face.The gentle and soothing touch of the palm inserted into the hair was intoxicating, and he slowly opened his mouth to the young man.
"That..." Did you call me? The young man was a little surprised when he turned to Judge.
"If you dare to do anything to brother Liesel, I will not forgive you... yo." The atmosphere in the audience froze immediately.
Two gendarmes came to meet Judge at the house and knew which mansion he lived in.Jagi’s grandfather owned a huge chamber of commerce that could represent Makaide, and was also a trader in charge of national-scale logistics and transportation. For all the military police stationed in Makaide, Jagi’s words were enough to influence their future fate.
Even if the boss in front of him is not young and still looks intoxicated when his head is touched, and he still shows a tearful expression at such an age, this is an undoubted fact.
"Jaji, it's okay that you don't have to say such things." "...I'm sorry." "But thank you." The pair of gentle eyes looking at him were close at hand, and the hand touched his head for the last time before leaving Feeling all this, Jia Ji showed a soft smile, and then found that the eyes of the surroundings were focused on him, and lowered his head with a blushing face.
The focus of the eyes is definitely not for this reason, but I didn't find it.
"This guy dares to say a few words of integrity." "After all, after talking to Jier, most things are not scary." "Hello." Just be a cute and shy kid all the time.Although he was happy to see his growth, but Judge didn't have to force himself for him, Liesel smiled at him.
"Then, please send Jaggy home properly." Lieser said to the two gendarmes who were frozen in place.
The shoulders of the two shook, and they nodded their heads.No matter how you look at it, Jaggie is just a timid boy, but the two military policemen are in awe of him, and his majesty and rebellious spirit have long since disappeared.
"Well, brother Lieser and Jieer, good night, go to bed early." "Okay, good night." "Yes." The gendarmerie seemed to be shrouded in gloom, and Jagi waved his hand and left.Finally able to rest, the two watched them go away before entering the hostel.
Later, it was heard that a certain young gendarme had become very dedicated, though few knew why.
Volume 14 Chapter [-] The day of Markade kicked off early in the morning, and the merchants raced to get ready for business.
Stores preparing to buy goods participated in the auction bidding early in the morning. Wooden boxes full of goods can be seen everywhere on the street, and restaurants are starting to prepare the raw materials that have been preliminarily processed the night before.From the time when the sky was dim, there was a lively atmosphere, it really was a noisy and chaotic city, Jieer sat up from the bed.
The breathing from the next bed was still steady. Of course, Lieser would not wake up at this time. Last night he had already opened the books he bought locally and read for a long time.
Jie Er didn't have to be in a completely quiet environment to be able to sleep, but he almost never slept in the same room with anyone. He thought that maybe he could only doze off in the way of camping, but he slept peacefully last night.
As for whether it's because Liesel slept in the next bed, or it's the same with anyone, it's not known.
"(...At least I won't wake up for the next two hours.)" After confirming that Liesel was still soundly asleep, Jieer stretched out his hand to pull up the quilt and covered his exposed shoulders.
It disgusted him so much that he did it himself, but he just couldn't ignore it.In order to get rid of the lingering disgust, why not go outside, Jieer opened the wooden window slightly.
"..." At this time, he noticed that someone's gaze seemed to be following them, and it was just watching them.After all, yesterday he insisted on posing with the lord. This reaction was within his expectations, but the action was really fast.
It seems that it is better to wait until there are more pedestrians before going out, he thought to himself, looking at Lissel who was sleeping in the dreamland.
For Jie Er, forming a team with Lieser couldn't be more natural.
Since Liesel plans to act as an adventurer in the future, and I will stay by his side, forming a team is a matter of course.If you ask him what is the difference between before and after forming a team, he will say that nothing has changed in what to do.
What did that change?There was indeed a definite change in Jie Er's heart, but it was difficult to explain it in words.If I have to say it, it should be that my consciousness has changed.Consciousness has changed, so the way of being has also changed.
The current self is completely changed from before meeting Lieser, and only Jieer himself understands this change.
"...Mmm..." Jie Er didn't even make a sound when opening the window, Lieser didn't show any sign of waking up, but maybe he noticed someone walking around, so he turned slightly.
Although Lieser always said that he couldn't feel the breath, human beings could subconsciously detect these movements. Jieer just strengthened his senses in this area and used them for combat.
"(It's better to have a way to continue to sleep.)" He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, approached Lissel's bed, and picked up one of the books on the cabinet.
Lieser often puts the books that he has read and thinks are suitable for Jier in a conspicuous place, and all the books on the cabinet belong to this category.He moved his chair to the small space by the window and began to read.
I don't know if I can read a book before Lieser wakes up?
The hotel where Liesel and the others stayed can serve breakfast.
But the opportunity was rare, the two of them changed clothes casually and left the hotel, walked into a thriving public restaurant, and enjoyed exotic cuisine that was rarely seen in the royal capital Parutta.
At this moment, a man in a straight tuxedo suddenly walked into the store and began to hand out something to the customers in the seats.Seeing Lieser (the elegant man) and Jieer (the vicious man) sitting together, he blinked first, then approached them with a smile on his face.
"Auction?" "That's how our city is. There are activities every day." Please refer to it. While promoting, the tuxedo handed out a flyer, and Lieser went over to have a look.
It turned out that there was a grand auction to be held at an event hall nearby.Anyone can participate. If you don't participate in the bidding, there is no problem just visiting the inside.
"If you're free, please come and visit." The man in a tuxedo said with a friendly business smile, and then walked to the next table.
In addition to the date and time, the flyer also briefly lists the types of auction items, with illustrations attached.The auction is hosted by a chamber of commerce, so the publicity effect must be very good.
"Ah, Jie Er, look, there are books." "Have you read most of the books?" "What if it is a valuable classic?" Jie Er had already finished eating, and he rested on the table with one elbow. Come on, take the flyer from Lieser.
The auction item says "books", and it's impossible to tell if it's a valuable book just by looking at the flyer, but if it's a book opened from a treasure chest in the maze, it is indeed a unique and precious item.
But most of these books have no content.Jie Er once opened a book titled "Adventurers' Hilarious and Embarrassing Collection", and even named them by name, his behavior was extremely bad.
"Do you want to go?" "Well... I was going to visit Markade's bookstore today." "It doesn't matter whether I go or not, it's the same to buy books." Liesel ignored Jieer's helpless gaze and ate the last piece bread.
The holding time starts at three o'clock and ends at six o'clock.That being the case, it seems that it is no problem to go to the bookstore before the start, and then participate in the auction in the afternoon.
As for whether there is a way to visit all the bookstores in half a day, he is not sure.
"Jie Er, let's participate in the auction together." "Then see you at this time?" "Okay." Jie Er agreed to go with him without complaining, and Lieser smiled at him and put the flyer in his pocket.
The two will split up from early today.Lissel also heard that there are surveillance eyes and ears nearby, but for Jie Er, it would be meaningless to accompany him to visit bookstores one after another.Anyway, it has been confirmed that the monitors are not hostile, and Liesel doesn't think Shad will act rashly at this time.
"Then I'll see you later." "Yeah." The two settled the bill and left at the door of the store.
I don't know what Jieer will do during this time?Liesel thought casually, taking steps under a bustling blue sky.
As he walked, he looked up at the countless propaganda banners above the street.
Occasionally, he would find a roadside stall to buy something, and after asking the vendors, he found that there were quite a few bookstores here.Lieser decided to check out the nearby shops first, so he walked into the alley following the worn posters.
When the hustle and bustle of the street gradually receded, he finally arrived at the store he was looking for.The small storefront is densely packed with books. It is exactly the kind of bookstore hidden in the alleys that people imagine. It is chaotic, but very beautiful.
He stepped into the store without saying a word, and looked at the books lined up on the shelves.The old shopkeeper only glanced at Lieser, and his eyes immediately fell back to the book in his hand.
"(Ah.)" He passed through the narrow gap, stopped slowly, and pulled out a book from the shelf.
"Young man, do you want to buy that book?" A hoarse voice suddenly sounded, the shopkeeper looked at him carefully, and Lieser smiled at him.
"I've read this author's research book before." "Oh." "It's so difficult to understand, so I was very impressed." "...It's true." The shopkeeper originally asked him "Do you want to buy that book", The gaze that questioned the other party's gaze suddenly changed. Although he looked heroic, his low-pitched, muffled smile fit the image of the owner of the bookstore very well.
"(Although the research itself is very substantial...)" This magic research book is written in a unique style, and the author's personality is clearly seen between the lines, but it is full of fun.
Lieser didn't put the book back on the shelf, and piled the books he was interested in one by one on the other hand.After coming here, Liesel has read a considerable number of books, deducting the books with duplicate content, there is no need to buy the entire bookstore like at the beginning.
He took down genres he hadn't read and other works by authors he liked one by one, and every time he couldn't hold them down, he put them in stacks on the shopkeeper's table, which made the shopkeeper's eyes widen.Most of the bookstore owners that Lieser visited would show the same expression.
"Next..." He temporarily picked out about fifty volumes, and nodded in satisfaction.
"Shopkeeper, do you have any recommended books? It doesn't matter if they are of the same type." "Uh, um." These books were not picked up by Lieser at random, but carefully selected from the shelves one by one.Seeing this, the shop owner also realized that this was his own kind, and while showing a happy smile, he also worked up his energy. This cannot be recommended casually.
He browsed through the books on the table, and the missing branches here must have been fully read by this guest.The shopkeeper brooded over it, which was more difficult than recommending a brand new genre.
"You bought two of this guy's books this time, do you really like them?" "Oh, those two books on the study of magic tools? I like to read illustrations." "Then you should read these too." The shopkeeper asked from the pile He stepped out from behind the mountain of books, stepped on the stepped stool, and pulled out a book from the bookshelf.
Although he was older and shorter, it looked like he had been stepping on this footstool for an unknown number of years, and his steps were skillful and stable, which was not worrying at all.The store owner handed the somewhat thick book to Rissel.
"This seems to be a bit similar to the one just now...huh?" "It's very interesting, it's like declaring war with the series you've read." The scope of research completely overlaps, but the directions are just opposite.
The book Liesel chose was about simple magic items that could be mass-produced.This book also studies magic props, but the content is more profound. The difference between the two is that one is broad and shallow, and the other is narrow and deep.
It turned out that it hadn't been discovered yet.Lieser could hardly bear to read on, but the shopkeeper stopped him with a smile.
"Hey young man, buy it and read it again." "Ah, I'm sorry. This book is really good... It's very interesting to compare it with books in the same field, and it's also very interesting to read this one alone.
"" You can't read without a certain level of knowledge, but you don't seem to have this problem. Lieser added the book to the stack with a smile on his face.
The bookstore owner is an expert in books. Most people open stores based on their interests. Try to ask them to recommend a few books. From time to time, like this time, you will encounter surprise encounters.
"Then I'll buy these." "It's good, but can you move it?" "I have space magic." "What, young man, you look like an adventurer." "I'm an adventurer. "The shopkeeper laughed, probably because he didn't believe his words.
Well, it doesn't matter, Lieser paid the price quoted by the shopkeeper.Books are definitely not cheap, but Lieser has never hesitated to spend a lot of money in this regard.By the way, the last one is a free gift from the boss.
"I have a heartfelt request, can I ask you to recommend other bookstores?" "This request is really embarrassing... But, after all, it can be seen that you are also a bookworm." Although other bookstores are competitors, the same For book lovers, the bosses are still a little friendly.
Liesel inquired about several bookstores from the owner, thanked them and walked out of the store.He can't feel the existence of the monitor at all, is the other party following him now?
Forced to accompany him to the bookstore, the watcher must find it very boring.Although he didn't intend to change the itinerary, let's find a slightly more upscale restaurant for lunch.Lieser walked forward with anticipation for the next bookstore.
Now, Lieser hastened his pace a little.
As expected of a commercial country, the books Lieser bought this time cover everything, and he even feels that he has no chance to meet new books for the time being.With a feeling of not knowing whether to be happy or lonely, he was on his way to the auction venue.
He had a good time chatting with the bosses about books, and he was a little rushed for time.Don't know where Jie Er is?Lieser approached the venue and was just about to start looking for someone, when Jier's figure immediately came into view.
"(Well, as expected of Jieer.)" Jieer was leaning against the gate of the venue, surrounded by two women, probably tourists.
"(Regardless of the truth, this letter is probably telling me not to do anything.)" Many nobles like to keep excellent adventurers for themselves, but this has nothing to do with him, he squeezed the envelope displeased.
"That is to say, um... that era is good wine?" "Not all of them, but that one is good, give me a bottle." "Ah, I also order food by the way, that pickled dish can help Shall I have another serving?" "Another appetizer." The envelope was crumpled into a ball by him.
Although Lieser was almost killed, but in the end it was not safe to save the day, so let's be more polite.With a loud, deliberate shudder, Sand opened the letter.
[Don't be an enemy of this person. 】
There was only one sentence in the letter.
Usually, Rey's letters are full of showing off the labyrinth items, and then finally get to the point, but this time there is only such a sentence, written in the center of the letter paper.
It was indeed Ray's handwriting.It is precisely because Shad is sure who the owner of the handwriting is that he can't believe it.
"(The man who wants to put all the things he likes in his hands will actually...)" Rey clearly liked this man very much, and even let him bring his own letter, but he didn't intend to keep him for himself.
Is it too dangerous to stay around, or is the other party too powerful to possess?If it's the former, it doesn't make sense to ask him to carry a handwritten letter, then it must be the latter.
"(He should be just an adventurer.)" Not only did Liesel claim to be so, but there were indeed rumors about this person among the information collected by Shad.
Seeing it with my own eyes, this person's appearance and gestures are full of elegance, and he was even mistaken for a nobleman, and was attacked because of it.But he is indeed not an aristocrat of any country, and only has the status of an E-rank adventurer.
"I have something to ask you." "Yes." "How do you know I'm the lord?" The two couldn't let the two know what was written in the letter. Shad put the envelope into the inner pocket and asked a question.He had planned to ask about it.
Only old acquaintances know the identity of Shad's lord. This is to curb the excessive influence of the previous lord. At the same time, it is also to prevent people from knowing where the lord is watching, so that the disadvantages that are easy to occur in money transactions can be hidden. .
"The first is your appearance. There is a book that mentions the previous lord." Liesel took out a book titled "History of the Prosperity of Markade", which recorded in detail that the commercial city obtained the title of "Commercial Country" History before the alias.
"'Black and gorgeous hair, a pair of blood-like eyes, and an incomparably handsome face, he can transform the occasion of business negotiations into a completely different space...'" "Okay." Jie Er stopped Lian Shu with a voice I was going to quote a whole section of Lieser without even opening it.
Because Jieer knew that if he didn’t stop this guy, he would keep talking until the topic came to an end, and then take advantage of the situation to talk about the textual research of the contents of the book.Jie'er would run away the moment he was preparing for the textual research, so Lieser could never get enough of the books.
"Rejected. It's impossible to find out that it's me just by looking at it." "But it's an important clue, right?" Shad is right. There are not many people with black hair and red eyes, but they are not completely absent.
So far, I don't know how many people have read "The History of the Rise and Rise of Markade". It is impossible for Shad to never pass by these people.Facing Shad's stern gaze, Lieser's smile remained unmoved.
"The other point should be the situation." "The situation?" "It was the commotion just now. You were just watching from a distance at first, but the moment the other party suspected that I was the lord, you came to the front, right?" After all, the location is right in front of the official residence. If the lord is nearby, he will definitely come over to check on the situation. Therefore, Lieser has been eyeing a few people with the same appearance and characteristics from the beginning.
Lieser spoke with ease, Jie Er helplessly raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.Who would take the opportunity to find the lord when his life was threatened?
Just because Jieer was used to it, it was just helpless. Hearing what he said, Shad looked at Lieser even with warning eyes.
"That reason is still not convincing." "Is it?" Indeed, Shad was nearby at the time.Even if he wasn't nearby, the stall square was only a stone's throw away from the official residence. He heard that a man suspected of being a lord was entangled here, so he would come over to find out.
He originally thought that someone was impersonating the lord, but when he arrived at the scene and confirmed that Lieser had clearly clarified his identity, he knew that the troublemaker had misunderstood.
"But you are the only one in the audience who didn't look at the troublemakers, but looked at me." Hearing Liesel pointing this out with a smile, Shad frowned.As he said, Shad is not interested in listening to the whining of unreasonable men, but cares more about Lieser who is being pestered.
This person obviously looked like a nobleman, but he hadn't received any news of the nobleman's visit at all. At that time, he hadn't thought that it was the adventurer who was rumored to look like a nobleman.
"The next step is to observe the reaction to the conversation." "I don't remember any explicit reaction." "Observing such details is my specialty. You walked to the front of the crowd because you were worried about us. ?” “Don’t imagine without authorization.” Even if this dispute is caused by himself, the lord does not need to be close to danger.
In his capacity, it would be easier to call the military police immediately, but Shad walked into the center of the commotion, so Lieser had full confidence.But since he denies it, he won't mention it any more.
"The next step is to talk to me to confirm." "Rejected. I didn't say anything." "People like nobles have a unique temperament?" How could an adventurer distinguish that unique temperament.
Lieser completely prevented people from knowing his true intentions, but he said such inciting words from time to time, and Shad was even a little impatient with this person.
Looking back, he didn't even know the purpose of Liesel's conversation.
He judged that Liesel was not a man who casually curry favor with the powerful, so he couldn't understand what he wanted to do.The more this person talked, the more elusive he became, provoking Shad's thoughts that had never been disturbed in business negotiations.
"Then, why did you stop me?" "Well... one of them is the letter. Since the Viscount wants me to use this letter, I don't feel ashamed to keep it with me." Jie Er listened Leaning at him was too weak a reason.
In the final analysis, regardless of the lord or the king, as long as Lieser is determined to contact the other party, even if there is no personal letter, it is possible to maintain the status of an adventurer, Jieer firmly believes.
And he cited the letter as an excuse, was it to disarm Shad, or was it the other way around?
"You think that's the model answer I'm after?" Presumably Shard thought so too, convinced that Lieser had other major goals.
This can be regarded as one of the legitimate reasons, Lieser smiled wryly, and swallowed the last bite of the last dish.Jie Er glanced at his actions from the sideways, and drank the remaining wine in the glass in one gulp.
"Including today, we will stay in Makaide for four days, and plan to arrange a sightseeing itinerary today and tomorrow." "Refused, what does this have to do with me." Facing Shad's gaze that seemed to tell him not to waste time, Liesel smiled leisurely, and put down the fork in his hand.
"It's rare to visit here on the first day, so of course you want to have a delicious dinner?" Thank you for the hospitality, Liser and the others thanked them, and walked out of the store directly.
Only the stunned Shad and the goblet containing the wine-red liquid remained.He stretched out his hands to raise his glass, and drank it with his head up like Jie Er, the over-rich aroma of the wine melted into his brain bit by bit.
"Huh..." A fleeting smile was exhaled together with the smell of alcohol.
I didn't expect that I would be used as a sightseeing tour guide.If you want to find someone who is most familiar with the commercial country to lead the way, then you can't go wrong.Wanting a nice dinner for such a trivial reason.
Shad wanted to get angry, wanted to yell about such absurd things in the world, but he couldn't do it. He understood the meaning of Ray's letter.
"Needless to say, I don't intend to be an enemy of that person." It would be great if it was just a person who knows how to exploit.But before leaving, those lofty and calm pupils did not allow this possibility to exist.
"(Anyway, we have to find out his purpose first.)" Shad's beautiful face was a little more sinister, and he secretly calculated.
Is it really possible to approach the lord of a large city just to have a meal?Even if they have no intention of being their enemies, this is not a character who can be left alone.
Including his true face, background, how much information can be collected by the commercial country's intelligence network will be the key.
"Can I clean up the table for you?" "By the way, pay the bill." Later, Shad looked at the bill brought by the clerk and crushed it with murderous intent, but that's another story.
"What happened to you provoking him so much?" "I just think it's more reliable to let the other party remember the first meeting, or leave a strong impression." "You don't need that." "Really?" The adventurer didn't care No matter how you look at it, you are a nobleman, Jieer thinks the impression is strong enough.But in Lieser's mind, he was already an out-and-out adventurer, so he couldn't notice this.No matter how much he was mistaken for a nobleman, he only thought that his behavior was a bit rookie, not a true adventurer.
"Speaking of which, isn't it dangerous for the lord to wander around alone?" "There is a person following." "Eh, I didn't notice. Are you strong?" "It's okay." The two walked leisurely on the way to the hostel. on the way.
The sky had already darkened, lights were lit on the street, and the crowds were still in an endless stream.However, the customer base changed suddenly, and among the merchants who advertised and hawked, some people began to solicit customers for the so-called "Fengyue Place".
There are fewer food vendors, and more stalls selling local products.
"Jie, what is your "okay"?" "Weaker than me, but you won't lose to the average guy." "Oh?" If the strength is better than Jie, Lieser will also show it. A little interest, if not he doesn't care.His gaze has drifted to the nearby vendors. He has just eaten, but he is looking at the stomach-warming soup on the stall.
"The two handsome guys are really handsome. How about it? Would you like to come to our store and the ladies in our family will be very happy?" Under Shad's management, it is impossible for a store that obviously violates morals to open in the main On the street, at this moment, a suspicious solicitor came over to talk to him.
Jie Er completely turned a blind eye to it, but Lieser looked at the man who was beckoning customers while cooling down the soup he had just bought.Although suspicious, the clothes are very decent, so it shouldn't be some messy store.
"Jie Er, it doesn't matter if you want to go." "Huh?" "I'll take a stroll before going back." Lieser heard from Stadt what Jie Er looked like before he met him.
At the beginning of the meeting, when talking about the history of romantic affairs, he also mentioned that although he was not addicted to women, I heard that he would occasionally play with women.
Lieser had no way of knowing his whereabouts in the middle of the night, so maybe he would go to get some air now.
"You..." Jie Er revealed an expression of displeasure from the bottom of his heart, looking at Lissel who was sipping the soup.
Using this incorruptible face to tell people to "go and play with a woman", which man would be interested in seeing it?It would be better to say that this kind of activity where women are surrounded by flattering and drinking, Jie Er is not sensitive in the first place.
Just find a woman waiting for guests, enjoy a night of spring dinner, and don't have to worry about follow-up troubles, that's all, being surrounded by the lady's noisy and charming voice, drinking some not-so-high-end wine, and having to pay for the wine He is not interested in the expensive amount.
"I want to drink in peace." "That's it." "Oh, what a pity!" The host stopped entanglement and simply let Lissel and the others leave.
Although Lieser was tempted to stop by the old books on the stall several times, the two still returned to the vicinity of the hotel when it was not dark.After walking for a short distance in the alley, you can see the stairs, and when you find a few figures in front of the stairs, Lieser and Jieer slow down.
"Ah, brother Liesel!" "Jagi?" Perhaps because of concerns about time, the man lowered his voice slightly, and a tall figure ran towards this side, it was undoubtedly Jagi.
Just said goodbye to Judge this morning, why is he here?Looking behind him, two familiar men in gendarmerie uniforms were approaching. Liesel nodded suddenly when he saw this.
"So I left them alone at that time." "Oh, it was when someone picked on me." The two remembered that when they were being harassed in the stall square, the military police came to stop them.
At that time, Lieser just replied casually, "We will talk about it another day" and got away from the commotion. It seemed that the military police did not intend to let them go just like that.
"Well, I heard that the two of you were suddenly attacked with swords, are you okay...?" From time to time, military police came to my house... I think it's because the two of you went to the city with me, so the military police came to look for me." "I'm sorry to disturb your family's rare reunion." Lieser lowered his brows apologetically , Jagi shook his head vigorously and denied it.
As far as Judge was concerned, when the gendarme came to visit, he was fidgeting with worry and was hesitant to check it out, but they came just in time.
Seeing that the two of them were safe and sound, Jia Ji also breathed a sigh of relief, and the strength in his shoulders relaxed.
Lieser patted him on the shoulder to thank him, and turned to watch the military police here.
"The two of you came to see us at such a late hour. What's wrong?" Show a wry smile.
Lieser and the others did not have any new information to provide. At that time, many onlookers witnessed the incident from beginning to end. In theory, the military police should have known that Lieser was not responsible for this incident.
The reason must not stop there, Rissel took out the guild card again.
"I'm the adventurer Lieser. I didn't expect to be mistaken for the lord this time, and I was almost hacked, and that's all." "That's it... then I'll be fine, so I won't bother you." The two gendarmes One of them looked at the guild card and seemed relieved.
In short, they doubted whether Lieser could really be the unknown lord himself.If the lord is really attacked, the military police must verify the incident as soon as possible and show work efficiency.
On the other hand, it was also because the commotion was resolved by adventurers from other places, and the military police wanted to restore their reputation.
"I know you have your own reasons, but it's really inappropriate to drag Jaggy around at this late hour." "Li...Brother Liesel...I didn't close it...uh!" Say a few words." "Even if the gendarmes investigate on their own, they can find this hotel the next day, right?" Jagi was about to take a step forward, when Jie Er grabbed him by the back collar and made him shut up.Liesel glanced at them, then turned his eyes again to the gendarme.
Jiaji and his beloved grandfather can only get together for a few days. Even if they don't know about it, the military police should not drag innocent people around for internal reasons.
Though to be honest, Judge didn't mind one bit as long as it was about Liesel.
"That's because this incident needs to be dealt with as soon as possible." "The culprit has been arrested and the incident has been clarified. What else needs to be dealt with as soon as possible?" "This..." The military police were speechless.
This time Liesel and the others did not make any mistakes, they were simply involved in the commotion, rather they wanted to ask what was going on.Although they have already asked the cause of the incident.
"...You are just standing still and being protected, how dare you have so many opinions." "Hey!" Behind the gendarme who was defending, suddenly came a rebellious voice. He kept staring at Lieser.
"What's that guy like?" "It's Jie Er's supporter, you see you are so popular." He looked at Jie Er from time to time with a bit of longing in his eyes.
It is rare for a military policeman to look up to an adventurer, but this military policeman probably respects his mighty strength.As for why Liesel was not pleasing to the eyes because of this, it can only be said that he was young and vigorous.
Seeing Ji Er's extremely bored face, I always feel that the young man is a bit pitiful.Lieser thought to himself, and spoke to the military police who were reprimanding the young man.
"Then, have you finished asking what you want to ask?" "Ah, yes, thank you for your cooperation. Let's make sure that you are not injured?" "No." "There is a knife for protection, nonsense." The young man He muttered, hearing veins burst out on the gendarme's temples, and his cheeks twitched.
Liesel shook his head lightly to express that he didn't mind, then smiled at the young man who was still staring at him, making the other party cringe for a moment.Lieser said teasingly: "Jie Er hates the kind of people who have personal affairs in public affairs." "!" The young man's shoulders shook when he heard this, and he looked at Jie Er.
Jie Er didn't even look at him, as if he was teasing Jia Ji for fun.The young man looked at this scene blankly, not knowing what he was thinking, but after this lesson, he will improve his attitude to some extent.
The grown-up gendarme looked genuinely sorry, and Liesel waved him lightly.
"Okay, Jieer, don't go too far when you're joking with Jagi." "Brother Liesel...!" Jieer finally let go of the back of his neck, Jagi leaned over crying, Liesel touched Touched his head to comfort him.
Jaggy's hunched back, which was prone to shrink back, arched more rounded. While accepting Lieser's touch, he aimed at the young man who was staring at Lieser with a bitter face.The gentle and soothing touch of the palm inserted into the hair was intoxicating, and he slowly opened his mouth to the young man.
"That..." Did you call me? The young man was a little surprised when he turned to Judge.
"If you dare to do anything to brother Liesel, I will not forgive you... yo." The atmosphere in the audience froze immediately.
Two gendarmes came to meet Judge at the house and knew which mansion he lived in.Jagi’s grandfather owned a huge chamber of commerce that could represent Makaide, and was also a trader in charge of national-scale logistics and transportation. For all the military police stationed in Makaide, Jagi’s words were enough to influence their future fate.
Even if the boss in front of him is not young and still looks intoxicated when his head is touched, and he still shows a tearful expression at such an age, this is an undoubted fact.
"Jaji, it's okay that you don't have to say such things." "...I'm sorry." "But thank you." The pair of gentle eyes looking at him were close at hand, and the hand touched his head for the last time before leaving Feeling all this, Jia Ji showed a soft smile, and then found that the eyes of the surroundings were focused on him, and lowered his head with a blushing face.
The focus of the eyes is definitely not for this reason, but I didn't find it.
"This guy dares to say a few words of integrity." "After all, after talking to Jier, most things are not scary." "Hello." Just be a cute and shy kid all the time.Although he was happy to see his growth, but Judge didn't have to force himself for him, Liesel smiled at him.
"Then, please send Jaggy home properly." Lieser said to the two gendarmes who were frozen in place.
The shoulders of the two shook, and they nodded their heads.No matter how you look at it, Jaggie is just a timid boy, but the two military policemen are in awe of him, and his majesty and rebellious spirit have long since disappeared.
"Well, brother Lieser and Jieer, good night, go to bed early." "Okay, good night." "Yes." The gendarmerie seemed to be shrouded in gloom, and Jagi waved his hand and left.Finally able to rest, the two watched them go away before entering the hostel.
Later, it was heard that a certain young gendarme had become very dedicated, though few knew why.
Volume 14 Chapter [-] The day of Markade kicked off early in the morning, and the merchants raced to get ready for business.
Stores preparing to buy goods participated in the auction bidding early in the morning. Wooden boxes full of goods can be seen everywhere on the street, and restaurants are starting to prepare the raw materials that have been preliminarily processed the night before.From the time when the sky was dim, there was a lively atmosphere, it really was a noisy and chaotic city, Jieer sat up from the bed.
The breathing from the next bed was still steady. Of course, Lieser would not wake up at this time. Last night he had already opened the books he bought locally and read for a long time.
Jie Er didn't have to be in a completely quiet environment to be able to sleep, but he almost never slept in the same room with anyone. He thought that maybe he could only doze off in the way of camping, but he slept peacefully last night.
As for whether it's because Liesel slept in the next bed, or it's the same with anyone, it's not known.
"(...At least I won't wake up for the next two hours.)" After confirming that Liesel was still soundly asleep, Jieer stretched out his hand to pull up the quilt and covered his exposed shoulders.
It disgusted him so much that he did it himself, but he just couldn't ignore it.In order to get rid of the lingering disgust, why not go outside, Jieer opened the wooden window slightly.
"..." At this time, he noticed that someone's gaze seemed to be following them, and it was just watching them.After all, yesterday he insisted on posing with the lord. This reaction was within his expectations, but the action was really fast.
It seems that it is better to wait until there are more pedestrians before going out, he thought to himself, looking at Lissel who was sleeping in the dreamland.
For Jie Er, forming a team with Lieser couldn't be more natural.
Since Liesel plans to act as an adventurer in the future, and I will stay by his side, forming a team is a matter of course.If you ask him what is the difference between before and after forming a team, he will say that nothing has changed in what to do.
What did that change?There was indeed a definite change in Jie Er's heart, but it was difficult to explain it in words.If I have to say it, it should be that my consciousness has changed.Consciousness has changed, so the way of being has also changed.
The current self is completely changed from before meeting Lieser, and only Jieer himself understands this change.
"...Mmm..." Jie Er didn't even make a sound when opening the window, Lieser didn't show any sign of waking up, but maybe he noticed someone walking around, so he turned slightly.
Although Lieser always said that he couldn't feel the breath, human beings could subconsciously detect these movements. Jieer just strengthened his senses in this area and used them for combat.
"(It's better to have a way to continue to sleep.)" He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, approached Lissel's bed, and picked up one of the books on the cabinet.
Lieser often puts the books that he has read and thinks are suitable for Jier in a conspicuous place, and all the books on the cabinet belong to this category.He moved his chair to the small space by the window and began to read.
I don't know if I can read a book before Lieser wakes up?
The hotel where Liesel and the others stayed can serve breakfast.
But the opportunity was rare, the two of them changed clothes casually and left the hotel, walked into a thriving public restaurant, and enjoyed exotic cuisine that was rarely seen in the royal capital Parutta.
At this moment, a man in a straight tuxedo suddenly walked into the store and began to hand out something to the customers in the seats.Seeing Lieser (the elegant man) and Jieer (the vicious man) sitting together, he blinked first, then approached them with a smile on his face.
"Auction?" "That's how our city is. There are activities every day." Please refer to it. While promoting, the tuxedo handed out a flyer, and Lieser went over to have a look.
It turned out that there was a grand auction to be held at an event hall nearby.Anyone can participate. If you don't participate in the bidding, there is no problem just visiting the inside.
"If you're free, please come and visit." The man in a tuxedo said with a friendly business smile, and then walked to the next table.
In addition to the date and time, the flyer also briefly lists the types of auction items, with illustrations attached.The auction is hosted by a chamber of commerce, so the publicity effect must be very good.
"Ah, Jie Er, look, there are books." "Have you read most of the books?" "What if it is a valuable classic?" Jie Er had already finished eating, and he rested on the table with one elbow. Come on, take the flyer from Lieser.
The auction item says "books", and it's impossible to tell if it's a valuable book just by looking at the flyer, but if it's a book opened from a treasure chest in the maze, it is indeed a unique and precious item.
But most of these books have no content.Jie Er once opened a book titled "Adventurers' Hilarious and Embarrassing Collection", and even named them by name, his behavior was extremely bad.
"Do you want to go?" "Well... I was going to visit Markade's bookstore today." "It doesn't matter whether I go or not, it's the same to buy books." Liesel ignored Jieer's helpless gaze and ate the last piece bread.
The holding time starts at three o'clock and ends at six o'clock.That being the case, it seems that it is no problem to go to the bookstore before the start, and then participate in the auction in the afternoon.
As for whether there is a way to visit all the bookstores in half a day, he is not sure.
"Jie Er, let's participate in the auction together." "Then see you at this time?" "Okay." Jie Er agreed to go with him without complaining, and Lieser smiled at him and put the flyer in his pocket.
The two will split up from early today.Lissel also heard that there are surveillance eyes and ears nearby, but for Jie Er, it would be meaningless to accompany him to visit bookstores one after another.Anyway, it has been confirmed that the monitors are not hostile, and Liesel doesn't think Shad will act rashly at this time.
"Then I'll see you later." "Yeah." The two settled the bill and left at the door of the store.
I don't know what Jieer will do during this time?Liesel thought casually, taking steps under a bustling blue sky.
As he walked, he looked up at the countless propaganda banners above the street.
Occasionally, he would find a roadside stall to buy something, and after asking the vendors, he found that there were quite a few bookstores here.Lieser decided to check out the nearby shops first, so he walked into the alley following the worn posters.
When the hustle and bustle of the street gradually receded, he finally arrived at the store he was looking for.The small storefront is densely packed with books. It is exactly the kind of bookstore hidden in the alleys that people imagine. It is chaotic, but very beautiful.
He stepped into the store without saying a word, and looked at the books lined up on the shelves.The old shopkeeper only glanced at Lieser, and his eyes immediately fell back to the book in his hand.
"(Ah.)" He passed through the narrow gap, stopped slowly, and pulled out a book from the shelf.
"Young man, do you want to buy that book?" A hoarse voice suddenly sounded, the shopkeeper looked at him carefully, and Lieser smiled at him.
"I've read this author's research book before." "Oh." "It's so difficult to understand, so I was very impressed." "...It's true." The shopkeeper originally asked him "Do you want to buy that book", The gaze that questioned the other party's gaze suddenly changed. Although he looked heroic, his low-pitched, muffled smile fit the image of the owner of the bookstore very well.
"(Although the research itself is very substantial...)" This magic research book is written in a unique style, and the author's personality is clearly seen between the lines, but it is full of fun.
Lieser didn't put the book back on the shelf, and piled the books he was interested in one by one on the other hand.After coming here, Liesel has read a considerable number of books, deducting the books with duplicate content, there is no need to buy the entire bookstore like at the beginning.
He took down genres he hadn't read and other works by authors he liked one by one, and every time he couldn't hold them down, he put them in stacks on the shopkeeper's table, which made the shopkeeper's eyes widen.Most of the bookstore owners that Lieser visited would show the same expression.
"Next..." He temporarily picked out about fifty volumes, and nodded in satisfaction.
"Shopkeeper, do you have any recommended books? It doesn't matter if they are of the same type." "Uh, um." These books were not picked up by Lieser at random, but carefully selected from the shelves one by one.Seeing this, the shop owner also realized that this was his own kind, and while showing a happy smile, he also worked up his energy. This cannot be recommended casually.
He browsed through the books on the table, and the missing branches here must have been fully read by this guest.The shopkeeper brooded over it, which was more difficult than recommending a brand new genre.
"You bought two of this guy's books this time, do you really like them?" "Oh, those two books on the study of magic tools? I like to read illustrations." "Then you should read these too." The shopkeeper asked from the pile He stepped out from behind the mountain of books, stepped on the stepped stool, and pulled out a book from the bookshelf.
Although he was older and shorter, it looked like he had been stepping on this footstool for an unknown number of years, and his steps were skillful and stable, which was not worrying at all.The store owner handed the somewhat thick book to Rissel.
"This seems to be a bit similar to the one just now...huh?" "It's very interesting, it's like declaring war with the series you've read." The scope of research completely overlaps, but the directions are just opposite.
The book Liesel chose was about simple magic items that could be mass-produced.This book also studies magic props, but the content is more profound. The difference between the two is that one is broad and shallow, and the other is narrow and deep.
It turned out that it hadn't been discovered yet.Lieser could hardly bear to read on, but the shopkeeper stopped him with a smile.
"Hey young man, buy it and read it again." "Ah, I'm sorry. This book is really good... It's very interesting to compare it with books in the same field, and it's also very interesting to read this one alone.
"" You can't read without a certain level of knowledge, but you don't seem to have this problem. Lieser added the book to the stack with a smile on his face.
The bookstore owner is an expert in books. Most people open stores based on their interests. Try to ask them to recommend a few books. From time to time, like this time, you will encounter surprise encounters.
"Then I'll buy these." "It's good, but can you move it?" "I have space magic." "What, young man, you look like an adventurer." "I'm an adventurer. "The shopkeeper laughed, probably because he didn't believe his words.
Well, it doesn't matter, Lieser paid the price quoted by the shopkeeper.Books are definitely not cheap, but Lieser has never hesitated to spend a lot of money in this regard.By the way, the last one is a free gift from the boss.
"I have a heartfelt request, can I ask you to recommend other bookstores?" "This request is really embarrassing... But, after all, it can be seen that you are also a bookworm." Although other bookstores are competitors, the same For book lovers, the bosses are still a little friendly.
Liesel inquired about several bookstores from the owner, thanked them and walked out of the store.He can't feel the existence of the monitor at all, is the other party following him now?
Forced to accompany him to the bookstore, the watcher must find it very boring.Although he didn't intend to change the itinerary, let's find a slightly more upscale restaurant for lunch.Lieser walked forward with anticipation for the next bookstore.
Now, Lieser hastened his pace a little.
