The Whispering Verses Chapter 1068: Collector Mr. Booker
Miss Danister was quietly thinking about which relic she could get, but most of these relics have long been lost:
"Some of them can indeed be borrowed, but I have to wait until I return to the academy to contact the owners of those relics. However, I know from the Zhengshen Church that Huang Yue was found during the trial of the secret keeper. item. In other words, there might be similar relics in Tobesk."
She said softly, and Shade pretended not to understand because he shouldn't have been there at the time:
"If it can be found in Tobesk, then you still need to look for the relics. I will wait for your good news."
"Yes, no problem. It is easier to find specific relics than to find core runes. After all, the information is there. Even if we can't find it in Tobesk, we will have other relics when we return to the academy. You can choose, I still have some face in the material world.”
She stood up:
"Mr. Hamilton, no, let me call you Shade. Shade, I think the secret of [Silver Moon Library] will be revealed to us soon, and I will not forget your contribution. In addition, in recent weeks, , something big may happen in the city, so be careful during this time.”
"No problem."
Shad stood up and said, sending Miss Danister downstairs.
But before the sorceress left, he took out a crystal cylinder vial about a quarter of the size of a little finger. This bottle was specially customized by Shade from Old John. It contains a liquid with little bits of light:
"Miss Denister, I give this to you as a year-end gift."
He held out the small bottle in the foyer.
"There is still half a month until the end of the year. Moreover, the college has clear regulations that prohibit professors from accepting gifts from correspondence students."
Despite saying this, she still took the small bottle, held it between her two white fingers, shook it in front of her eyes, and showed an incredulous look.
"This is..."
The fingers of her right hand glowed with red moonlight. When the moonlight came into contact with the liquid, the originally nearly transparent liquid also reflected the red light representing the moon.
Miss Danister in the foyer looked at Shade in surprise:
"Is this moonlight water? The essence of the moon that can only be formed naturally in a specific location after thousands of years?"
"Yes, you recognized it? That's amazing."
Xia De nodded immediately.
But he doesn't need thousands of years. The amount of "Moonlight Water" in the crystal container, which is about a quarter of the volume of his little finger, can be produced on a night with sufficient moonlight.
"Even by the standards of a New Year's gift, this is a bit too precious."
She shook the small bottle, hesitated, and handed it to Shade again:
"This is too precious, and you need it more than me. I will give you a formula for a potion. You can find a pharmacist you trust enough to help prepare it. The potion can greatly increase your ability to The perception of moonlight power is permanently increased, which is very useful for low-level warlocks like you."
"No, no, actually I kept some for myself, just accept this...you can give me the recipe."
Shad said with a smile, and Miss Daniste also had a smile on her face. She took back the bottle and put it in her skirt:
"I'll have someone bring it to you tomorrow, Shade, you're very good."
Shad opened the door, and the librarian lady walked into the snowy St. Teresa Square, waved to him, then turned around and disappeared into the night.
"Is this considered a bribe?"
When Shade closed the door and was about to go upstairs again, he saw Luvia standing at the corner of the stairs and looking at him with a smile, obviously having heard the conversation just now.
"Bribery? No, no, how can this be considered a bribe? I just use the gift to deepen my friendship with the school officials, which will be very helpful in the future."
Shad bent down and picked up the cat on the steps, and walked towards Luvia at the top of the stairs:
"And the point of this matter is not what I gave, but what Miss Danist accepted...Are you done with your work?"
"Of course not, but now that the planetarium is automatically recording data, I will come down to see you. I will probably be busy very late tonight."
After speaking, he glanced at Sha De, his eyes clearly wanting Sha De to say something.
Xia De coughed:
"Then don't go back, just stay here for the night. Although it's not snowing outside, you know it's not easy to walk at night. MI6 was looking for the lost girl yesterday."
The purple-eyed girl showed a faint smile and walked upstairs with Shade:
"Tell me about the missing girl from MI6. You can do it slowly."
(Little Mia is running...)
It can be predicted that the ceremony of the chosen ones will begin, probably after Sir Prisha returns to Huntingdon City with the visiting delegation. In order to prevent the candidate's qualification from falling into the hands of the second-ranked Miss Paavo, this time, Luvia did not intend to get rid of Sir Prisha in advance.
On Monday morning, after giving the crystal ball taken out of the gift box to Luvia and accepting the task of scrubbing the glass inside the bedroom before the weekend, Shade set off for the entrance of the Natural Church in the east of the city and Sir Prisha joins.
The relic that Sir invited Shade to take in yesterday was a clerical relic ["The Book of Fools"], but its more widely circulated name is "The Book Invisible to Idiots". Judging from the officially recorded names, it is difficult to infer the characteristics of the book, but the widely circulated names illustrate the specific functions of the book——
The "Book of Fools" is a book without any text, but once someone observes the pages inside, knowledge will appear on it. The smarter the person, the more useful content he can see; the stupider the person, the less knowledge he can see. This book is said to have been written by an ancient prophet from the Fourth Age, and most of the rumored knowledge in it is related to that prophet.
This book is only rated as clerical grade because a large number of people really cannot see any text in this book, and those who can see the text in this book can see Most of the content is not very dangerous.
Because in the eyes of most people, this is a wordless book, so it is named "The Book of Fools", implying that most people are actually fools. But the negative characteristic of this book is that smart people sometimes fall directly into irreversible madness and then become completely crazy after reading this book.
Therefore, "The Book of Fools" also means that people who can see the content are actually the real fools. After all, given how dangerous this book is, not reading it would be the truly smart thing to do.
The Book of Fools is currently in the hands of Mr. Booker, a stingy private collector in the East District of Tobesk. He ran a club and a library. The library adopted a membership system common in this era. You had to pay a certain fee every month to enter the library and read books. Additional fees were required to copy and take away books.
If it were just like this, Sir Prisha himself could also get rid of the book, but according to his investigation, Mr. Booker has been affected by the "Book of Fools" and even has some weird powers because of it. the power of.
For safety reasons, he would ask Sha De to act together. After all, you can never be too careful when storing relics. Even if it is a clerical relic, once it gets out of control and encounters a suitable situation, even a thirteen-ring warlock may find it difficult.
Mr. Booker is a forty-three-year-old middle-aged man with semi-bald hair, a sturdy build, and wearing glasses. Sir Prisha had made a reservation in advance, so the two of them could enter the library directly this early morning.
There is a special reception room in the library, and Mr. Booker entertained the two of them in the reception room. This well-off man had many servants, and hot tea and snacks were brought to them soon after everyone sat down.
While introducing himself and shaking hands, Shade also sensed that Mr. Booker did have traces of the whispering element. If you are a ring wizard, this is not surprising, but for ordinary people, this often means big trouble.
For the holders of the "Book of Fools", it is impossible for them to voluntarily hand over that book, especially now that Mr. Booker has obtained "power" from that book, so before The two people who came and went to recover the relics needed some tricks.
The reason Sir Prisha made an appointment to visit was to purchase another book. After chatting with Mr. Booker for a while and signing the book purchase agreement, he suddenly asked:
"Mr. Booker, you also know that I am a foreigner from the United Kingdom of Kasenlik and I will return to China next week. I wonder if I have the opportunity to visit your private collection? I I have admired your reputation for a long time."
A well-known book collector like Mr. Booker will definitely have his own collection. But this time, Mr. Booker just thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement.
On the one hand, it is because the price given by Sir Prisha for purchasing the book is very high, and on the other hand, it is also because the identities of Sir Prisha and Shade are very respectable in the eyes of this ordinary person without a noble title. of.
The library's collection room is in the underground area, which looks like it was converted from the basement of a house. To enter the collection room, you need to open a total of two doors and three locks. The lock of the innermost metal door uses the most advanced gear piston structure and is controlled by an independent steam pressure system.
Even in the eyes of well-informed outsiders, its technical level is quite impressive.
Of course, in front of the spell [Door Key], these non-mysterious locks are completely worthless.
Corresponding to the expensive and exquisite defensive measures are Mr. Booker's priceless collection of books and the magnificent decoration of the collection room like a museum collection room.
He happily introduced his collection of books to Shade and Sir Prisha one by one, and proudly boasted how many gold pounds each of his collection of books was worth.
Even a person like Shade who knows nothing about books can still know how valuable old books such as "The Glory of the Cavendish Bloodline" and "Crown of Honor: An Appreciation of Ancient Crowns" are.
Of course, his attention was not always on Mr. Booker's collection. The communication with Mr. Booker was mainly done by Sir Prisha. Shade just followed the two of them and quietly put on the ring.

ps: Entering the Silver Mountains for the first time, Ms. Chloe said that there were 19 people in the team. Therefore, Chapter 1065 changes the details from "There are 13 people in the team" to "Due to the influence of the snowy mountains, Miss Chloe only remembers the information of 13 people, and the others are very vague."
It does not affect the direction of the story, it just changes the way of saying it. If you are interested, you can take a look.
