Magus Tech Chapter 285: Forbidden bookstore
The shop that appeared in front of Li Cha looked very dilapidated and old, as if it hadn't been repaired for many years - the outer wall was dilapidated, the store door was rickety, and the words on the signboard above the store door were also blurred. Li Cha slowly read the above text:
"Forbidden...forbidden...bookstore."
Yes, this is a bookstore that sells all imaginable books, scrolls, treasure maps, personal letters and other things related to writing. It was recommended by the great scholar Sura Di to come here.
Li Cha's eyes flickered, and he walked towards the bookstore. Just as he was about to enter the door, a pair of thick, long-haired and thick black-haired arms protruded from the inside without any warning, blocking it.
Then there was a black and strong man with a thick back and a waist, showing his figure from the door, like a bear standing up, like a mountain.
Li Cha looked at the opponent's nearly two-meter figure, and felt that among all the people he met so far, Bucky, who played with Gero recently, might be comparable.
The strong black man looked down from above, and asked in a buzzing voice: "Who is it? What are you doing? Do you know where this place is?" His tone was very blunt, with a strong sense of vigilance.
Obviously, this bookstore is different from other stalls and shops. There are strict restrictions on customers, and it is not possible to enter casually.
Actually, there are only two ways to enter this bookstore:
First, being recommended by some big shots.
Second, I was recommended by an official customer of this bookstore.
Li Cha glanced at the strong black man, didn't say much, but simply took out a note from his sleeve and handed it over.
The strong black man took the note, glanced at it twice, and saw a line of words written on it: Guaranteed by my reputation, this person is qualified to enter your store—Suradi.
This is the recommendation of the great scholar Suradia. The other party may not be a powerful wizard or a noble noble, but in some areas of Baishi City, he can't help but be underestimated, and he can be regarded as a member of the big shots.
After reading the note, the black burly man let out a "snoring" sound. He didn't know what he was muttering. Right. But this is your first time here, so I want to tell you the rules.
First, you can read all books, but you are not allowed to pick them up unless you are ready to buy them.
Second, if you want to buy the next book, prepare enough money in advance, because bargaining is not allowed here.
Third, after buying the book, you should leave immediately, and you are not allowed to mention the existence of the bookstore to anyone else who does not know about it.
Fourth, if you violate any of the ones I said above, then you are going to be out of luck! "
After finishing speaking, the strong black man asked in a deep voice, "Do you understand?"
Li Cha nodded slightly.
"That's good." The black burly man said, and let Li Cha walk into the shop.
When Li Cha walked in, he realized that there was something hidden inside.
Don't look at the dilapidated outside, but the inside is neat and clean. Many lit candles are covered in the lampshade, emitting bright but not dazzling light, reflecting the shop in a warm orange color.
In the warm orange color, a large number of bookshelves stand densely. The bookshelf is divided into many individual small grids, and a book is spread out in each small grid. The books were tied to the shelf with a red string wrapped around the spine. There is also a small brass bell attached to the red string. Once someone tries to take the book out of the small compartment, it will make a sound, which is a kind of anti-theft mechanism.
This anti-theft mechanism, in Li Cha's opinion, is too crude. Not to mention anything else, just say that if he wants to make a move, use the space iron ring to cut off the tough red string, and put the red string, copper bell and books into the ring together, so that no one will notice. Of course, he didn't have to. After all, the purpose of his coming here is to find the books handed down from the Black Spirit Empire.
At this time, there were a dozen or so people in the bookstore flipping through books in front of the bookshelves. Li Cha glanced at them, walked towards a nearby bookshelf, and started flipping through them as well.
Looking through one casually, Li Cha saw that it was a book about potion making. The content inside is simply evil to the extreme.
A kind of joy potion recorded in it, the effect is to help the wizard restore mana, it is impressive to use the body of a six-month-old baby who has not yet been born in the pregnant woman's belly, and the human brain as raw materials. Not to mention the pharmacology, the raw material alone is not acceptable to ordinary people.
Another potion called Fountain of Immortality recorded in it is even more weird. It is said that after drinking, a woman can permanently fix her appearance in the most beautiful state, and it will not change until she dies. But the raw material needs at least 72 hot blood of virgins~IndoMTL.com~ also specially noted that the more hot blood of virgins, the better the effect will be.
Seeing this potion formula, Li Cha couldn't help but think of the legendary "Bloody Countess" Elizabeth Bathory on modern Earth. It is said that the secret of the other party to keep her beauty for decades and stay young forever is the blood of virgins - bathing with virgin blood, using virgin blood as a drink - killing more than a thousand pure and beautiful girls in her life.
After simply reading this book called "The Bookstore", Li Cha almost knows what this bookstore is like and why it is called Taboo Bookstore.
It is not surprising that a book like this can be called a banned book. After all, although most wizards in the world regard human life as worthless, they still claim to be righteous. They don't try too much evil spells, and they keep fighting against things that are too cruel.
The bookstore with a large number of books like this is simply a place of evil, and it is not surprising that it is called the Taboo Bookstore.
Thinking about this, Li Cha flipped through the rest of the books on the shelf, looking for the one he wanted, talking to himself while flipping through.
"This one is not."
"Well, this one is not."
"Why are they all of the same type?"
Shaking his head, Li Cha changed a bookshelf and continued to browse.
"Um, this..."
"This..."
"This..."
Li Cha changed a bookshelf again, and then, and then...
After a long time, almost all the bookshelves in the bookstore were turned around, and Li Cha finally saw a book he was looking for.
In the small wooden grid, a somewhat damaged book was spread out, just turned to the last page, and a logo of the Black Spirit Empire was impressively printed on it-triangles, circles, and vertical lines.
