Richard looked at the black shadow that was blocking him, and saw that it was a man in his thirties, somewhat thin, with an angular face that seemed to have been cut by a knife and an axe. In general, such a person will look unusually serious, but at this time with a faint smile.

The other party glanced at Richard and introduced himself loudly: "Hello, I am the owner of this forbidden bookstore, my name is Hardy, I'm sorry that my clerk offended you." ”

The strong black man on the side explained: "Boss, I'm ...... I'm not offending him, it's he who chose to test and want to beat me into the interior, so ......"

"So, it's an offense. The shopkeeper named Hadi said to the black man, "Hagens, haven't you understood yet, the strength of the guest in front of you is easy to defeat you." So, don't be ashamed of yourself. As the owner, I declare that this guest is fully entitled to enter the interior of our bookstore. ”

"But ......" The black man named Hagens wanted to say something, but the shopkeeper Hady ignored it, and turned to Richard, and made a gesture of please, "Please." ”

"Well, thank you. Richard said, with some realization, that the mana fluctuation that he had not concealed when he was preparing the spell just now was discovered. It is difficult to feel the bloodline seed like the black strong man, but for a wizard apprentice or wizard, it is very sensitive.

The owner, Hardy, was obviously a spellcaster, but it was a little strange that it was difficult to feel the mana fluctuations emanating from the other person's body.

Richard speculated that he might have used a similar method of "concealment" or "concealment of the extraordinary" as his own.

Thinking like this, Richard also quickly hid all the mana fluctuations in his body, and followed the shopkeeper Hardy to walk forward.

Approaching a small dark red door on the wall of the bookstore, it opened with a "creak", and spiraled down the clockwise steps, finally reaching the bookstore on the lower level, that is, the interior.

Here, Richard saw that more bookshelves were erected, densely packed like trees in the forest, and many books were placed in the wooden lattices of the bookshelves, neatly and orderly.

"Guest, I don't know, can I know your name?" Hadi asked Richard in a loud voice.

Richard had been prepared for a long time, and said quickly: "Lynn." ”

"Lynn. Hardy nodded, and introduced to the many bookshelves, "The bookshelves over there are books related to potions. The bookshelf over there are books related to black spells, which are some of the more evil spells that use forbidden casting materials, such as powder that requires a baby's heart to be crushed, but powerful and with strange effects.

The bookshelf over there is about staff planting, and you can cultivate a staff that perfectly meets your needs little by little. Over there, it's ......."

Hardy continued to speak, and Richard coughed lightly: "I want to take a look at it myself, is it okay?"

"Well, yes, of course. Hady made a gesture of invitation, stepped back, and shouted, "Hagens, I'm going back to the upper floor, you help me take care of the guests, and if you have any needs, you will definitely be satisfied." ”

"Yes. The black man walked over, glanced at Richard, and replied in a muffled voice. Obviously, he was a little dissatisfied with being stopped by Hardy just now and told him that he was not Richard's opponent.

Richard didn't pay much attention and quickly looked at the many books.

I have to say that the books in the lower class are indeed more forbidden than the books in the upper class. The spell books that Hardy said earlier about crushing into powder from a baby's heart are not worth mentioning at all. There are also spells that require the use of the bones of close relatives, the eyes of children, and the heads of wives, as materials for casting spells, and it is completely successful once the spell is cast, and the whole family is killed once.

Of course, there are indeed a lot of books, many of which have been handed down from the Black Spirit Empire, and Richard just turned around and felt the quaint ring on his hand burn several times.

Richard quietly found the book that made the quaint ring hot, and turned to the last page, and sure enough, it all had the emblem of the Black Spirit Empire.

In the middle of the ring, Richard looked at Hagens, a strong black man standing on the side, with an unhappy expression, and stretched out his finger and pointed: "This book, that book, that book, and ......."

Richard pointed to nearly ten books and said, "I want them all." ”

The black strong man'......s eyes swept and he spoke: "On average, there are about 300 inferior crystal coins in a book, and you need 2,500 inferior crystal coins, are you sure you have so much money?"

Richard flipped his hand, and twenty-five crystal coins appeared in the palm of his hand, and asked the black man, "Are these enough?"

"Forehead......" The black strong man stopped talking, pursed his lips in annoyance and walked aside, took out a dagger and cotton, and began to cut the red string on the book and take it off.

There were eight books in total, and it took the black man more than half a day to take them all off, sweating and handing them to Richard.

Richard took the book and walked away.

At this time, the black strong man suddenly spoke out behind him and stopped Richard: "Hey!"

"Huh?" Richard stopped and turned, "What's ......?"

Before he finished speaking, the black strong man punched violently, and the momentum of the corpse mountain and sea of blood exploded in an all-round way.

Attack, attack without warning!

Richard raised his eyebrows, and the next moment the first and second rings were quickly activated.

The air surges, the air armor covers the surface of the body, the body is light, the wind shoes wear under the feet, the hair stands up, the perception is amplified, the metabolism is strengthened, and the recovery ability is improved.

The black strong man punched, Richard slashed at his feet, quickly dodged over, and then reached out and slapped the black strong man's punch.

"Smack!"

After a crisp sound, the black strong man let out an exclamation from his mouth, as if he had been burned by fire, and suddenly stepped back, staring at his arm with wide eyes.

He saw that the white frost that was bubbling with cold air was starting with his fist, spreading rapidly in all directions, covering the entire forearm in a short time. At the same time, a series of tiny arcs of electricity flashed from the surface of the white frost, making his arms stiff and numb, like wood, and barely able to move.

This!

This!

This!

The black man was horrified.

The next moment, Richard waved his hand, and the frost and arc on the black strong man's arm disappeared without a trace.

The black strong man was stunned for a moment, and then reacted that it was Richard's subordinates who showed mercy. The reason why he made a move just now was because he was unconvinced in his heart, and he wanted to see if Richard was so powerful as the boss Hardy said, but now he found that Richard was really better than he imagined, and after taking the initiative to let him go, he couldn't help but be embarrassed.

Keep attacking? That's asking for yourself.

It was too humiliating to beg for mercy, and Richard had already let him go.

That's too spineless, and besides, he's not completely convinced!

The black strong man thought for a long time, looked at Richard, squeezed out a sentence, and said in a weak tone: "That...... Don't tell my boss about it...... Please. ”

Richard listened to the black man's words, shrugged his shoulders, and walked up the stairs with a blank face in his hand.

......
