The shop that appeared in front of Richard looked very dilapidated and old, as if it had not been repaired in years—the exterior walls were dilapidated, the doors were wobbly, and the words on the signboard were blurred. Richard slowly read the above text:

"Forbidden...... Fear...... House. ”

Yes, this is a bookstore that sells all kinds of books, scrolls, treasure maps, personal codex, and everything else related to words, and it was recommended by the scholar Sauradians to Richard.

Richard's eyes flashed, and he walked towards the bookstore, and just as he was about to step through the door, a pair of thick, long-haired arms with thick black hair poked out of it without warning, blocking it.

Then there was a strong black man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his figure peeked out from the door, as if a bear had stood up and a mountain had been erected.

Richard looked at the other party's almost two-meter size, and felt that among all the people he met so far, it was probably Bucky, who had recently played with Gro, who could be compared.

The black man looked condescendingly, and asked in a loud voice, "What are you doing? Do you know what kind of place this is?"

Obviously, this bookstore is different from the rest of the stalls and shops, and there are strict restrictions on customers, and it is not easy to enter.

In fact, there are only two ways to get into this bookstore:

First, it is recommended by some big names.

Second, it is recommended by an official guest of this bookstore.

Richard glanced at the black man, didn't say anything, just simply took out a note from his sleeve and handed it over.

The black strong man took the note, glanced at it twice, and saw a line written on it: With my creditworthiness, this person is qualified to enter your store - Suradia.

This is the recommendation of the scholar Surates, who may not be a powerful wizard or a noble nobleman, but in some areas of White Rock City, he can still be regarded as a member of the big shots.

After reading the note, the black strong man made a "snoring" sound in his mouth, and he didn't know what he was muttering, so he handed the note back in a moment, got out of the way, and said in an urn voice: "Okay, you are qualified, come in." But you're here for the first time, and I'm going to tell you the rules.

First, all the books can be read, but you are not allowed to pick them up unless you are going to buy them.

Second, if you want to buy the next book, have enough money on hand in advance, as bargaining is not allowed here.

Third, once you've bought the book, you're not allowed to mention the existence of the book house to anyone else who doesn't know about it.

Fourth, if you violate any of the above mention, then you are in bad luck!"

After speaking, the black strong man asked in a deep voice, "Do you understand?"

Richard nodded.

"That's good. The black man said, completely out of the way, and let Richard walk into the store.

Richard walked in, only to find that there was a hole inside.

Despite the dilapidated outside, the inside is neat and clean, with many lit candles in the shade, emitting a bright but undazzling light, reflecting the warm orange color of the shop.

In the warm orange color, a large number of bookshelves stand densely. On the shelves, there are many individual compartments, each of which contains a book. The books are tied to the shelves by a thin red rope wrapped around the spine. The red string is also connected to a small brass bell, and when 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 Richard's opinion, was too rudimentary. If nothing else, let's just say that if he wants to start, he will use the space iron ring to cut the tough red string, and put the red string, copper bell and book into the ring to ensure that no one can detect it. Of course, he didn't have to. After all, the purpose of his coming here was only to find books that had been handed down from the Black Spirit Empire.

At this time, there were more than a dozen people in the bookstore who were flipping through the books in front of the shelves, and Richard took a look, walked to a close bookshelf, and began to flip through them.

Flipping through a copy, Richard saw that it was a book about the making of potions. The content inside is simply evil to the extreme.

It is described as a potion of joy that helps sorcerers restore their mana, and is made from the body of a six-month-old baby who has not yet been born in the womb of a pregnant woman, as well as the human brain. Not to mention what pharmacology is, this raw material alone is not acceptable to ordinary people.

Another elixir called the Fountain of Youth, which is recorded in it, is even more strange. It is said that drinking it allows a woman to keep her appearance in the best state forever, and it will not change until death. But the raw material is the blood of the virgins who need at least 72 hearts. also deliberately noted that the more blood in the heart of a virgin, the better the effect will be.

Seeing the recipe of this potion, Richard couldn't help but think of Elizabeth Bathory, the legendary "bloody countess" on modern earth. It is said that the secret of the other party's beauty for decades and eternal youth is the blood of virgins - bathing with the blood of virgins and drinking with the blood of virgins - killing more than 1,000 pure beautiful girls in their lifetime.

After a brief reading of the book called "Yabaty's Potions Secrets", Richard already knew what this bookstore was and why it was called the Forbidden Book House.

It's no surprise that a book like Yabaty's Potions Secrets is a banned book. After all, although most wizards in the world regard human life as a mustard, they still claim to be righteous, and they don't try much for some too evil spells, and they also constantly fight against things that are too cruel.

Then a bookstore with a large collection of books like Yabati's Potions Secrets is simply a place of sin, and it is not surprising that it is called a forbidden bookstore.

Thinking so, Richard flipped through the rest of the books on the shelves, looking for the books he wanted, and muttered to himself as he flipped through them.

"The Ogre's Cookbook, this one isn't. ”

"Human Treasure - How to Cook the Liver", uh, this is not either. ”

"On the 100 Cooking Methods for Babies, how is it that they are all of the same type?"

Shaking his head, Richard changed his bookshelf and continued to flip through.

"Love and Conquest - Let Women Be Your Slaves", uh, this ......"

"The ...... "Wonderful Punishment - Let the Whip Be a Source of Pleasure"

"Fraternity - In this world, you can release your beastly nature, not only women, but also beasts", this ......"

Richard changed the bookshelf again, and then again, and again......

After a long bang, almost the entire bookstore shelves were turned, and Richard finally saw the book he was looking for.

In the small wooden compartment, a somewhat torn book was spread out, and it was just the last page that was imprinted with the emblem of the Black Spirit Empire—triangles, circles, and vertical lines.
