February 1 is the holy day of the mysterious lady. Therefore, it is also the time when the ritual is at its most effective.

The cultists of the Mysterious Lady are accustomed to performing various rituals on this day...... Believers who are not ritualists go out on this day to buy books.

From February 1 to 7, it is known as the Book Festival – during these seven days, booksellers sell as many books as possible, often at 70%, half or even less than usual, and the requirement is that the other person must actually read the books.

Because on the 8th of February, the Mysterious Lady will give a certain amount of Holy Light Seal as a holiday reward according to the effect of knowledge transmission during these seven days. Regardless of whether the other party is his own priest or not.

You don't have to be a bookseller, whether it's a teacher, a mentor, or an instructor, to get some reward for passing on to others what you know during the week that no one else knows. Some of the mystical knowledge that has weight is usually only available in a relatively simple way during the week.

These sigils of the Holy Light can be used to purchase a variety of mystical knowledge and rituals, whether it is life extension, healing, or physical strengthening rituals.

Accumulate a certain number of sigils of holy light, and you can even purchase various inscriptions.

"I didn't think Noah would also hold a reading festival."

Annan said casually, holding the book he had just bought.

The monk was dealt with last week, and Annan's injuries have not fully recovered.

Because of the side effects of Salvatore's potion, his body was weaker than ever.

Although he had the inclination of the Silver Lord, Annan did not plan to help Kaphni blindly, and was ready to go out to avoid it for a while...... But after all, the king only began to be elected in May.

Annan is currently planning to leave after his attributes are restored.

Unexpectedly, just in time for the reading day, he hurriedly beckoned the players to buy more books.

Books in this era are already relatively cheap - just look at the price of newspapers.

The elves had a more complex paper-making technique, and the flint had optimized this technique. In today's world, paper is not expensive. More than 200 years ago, the technology of movable pencil printing was also fully formed.

This makes the value of books much lower, and even civilians can buy some books through gritted teeth. This also contributed to the development of the arts, both poetry and printing technology, which began to develop in earnest.

Just some books that are more expensive...... For example, books containing "heavy knowledge" can still only be copied by hand. There are only two ways to properly document the knowledge of weight.

One is to fully know the "whole picture" of this knowledge, and only when the understanding is completely correct can it be recorded smoothly; The other is a transcendent person who is a golden rank himself, and has a dyed soul and the ability to forcibly create books that record transcendent knowledge. However, the latter often leads to mistakes, omissions or deviations in some descriptions due to their own understanding or personal malice.

- For example, the ritual of the Skeleton Male.

Because mystical knowledge itself is "in pieces". It is a secret that is preserved in the realm of light after it has been completely melted by reason.

If you only know one of the fragments and don't have enough power to cut it off, you won't be able to replicate the whole. In other words, "copy the shortcut to a USB stick".

In essence, it is also a kind of "secrecy".

It's just that keeping a secret is not meant for a living person, it could be a book.

While the Secret Keeper is still alive, that is, when the ontology corresponding to the shortcut still exists, even if he knows a few words, he can call on this part of the power from the light realm through "automatic association".

But if you only know the fragments, you can't record them. If it's used, it's exhausted.

However, in addition to these two methods, there is also a method of forcibly writing down transcendent knowledge.

That is, a "book of occultism" written after greatly adding one's own understanding, replacing the original reference with a certain metaphor, and completely disrupting the order of the original sentence.

This is also known as the "pseudo-canon".

The value of the apocryphal code depends entirely on the degree of trust in the author. Indeed, there is a conscience writer who creates a pseudo-canon and then creates the corresponding "key".

But there is also the kind of powerful storyteller who can translate 200,000 words in two sentences.

Most of the mystical knowledge that can be purchased comes from apocryphal canons, or "remnant canons".

The last time Annan was able to find the book that recorded Mr. Yao's real name, he suspected that it might be Sir Silver's involvement...... This time, on the reading day, Annan and Jihime searched several times in major bookstores, but they didn't find a single original text.

I bought a lot of valuable forgeries and remnants.

"This translation of Ephiktor's "Song of the Iris" is good."

Annan took the book and was amazed: "There is actually a matching "Key to Ephektor" for sale. ”

"Ephect is a well-known occultist, and he has real skills."

Paper Ji commented casually: "The mysterious lady is very optimistic about him. He may be transformed into a monster by the mysterious lady when he dies. ”

"Have you heard his name?"

Annan looked at the paper Ji with some surprise.

The name can be remembered by a god-sama - not even a painter in the corresponding field, but a mysticist. It's a rarity.

"And part of the reason for this is because the Iris Marquis is not a forbidden thing in Noah."

Paper Ji glanced at Annan and pointed out: "He also wrote a translation of "On Paleness". But no bookstore dares to sell it. ”

“…… About the Pale Princess? ”

"yes. Gods that are too close to the Silver Sir and too contrary to the Silver Sir will not be sold locally. But if you're in the south, you'll be able to buy Silver Sizzle's book. This is an unspoken rule. ”

Paper Ji said, glancing at Annan's bag, and her tone was vaguely dissatisfied: "Didn't you buy that book again......"

Annan coughed lightly and didn't say much.

Dragon, Blizzard and Magic Painting

This is a pseudo-canon.

It tells the story of the paper girl before her birth in the tone of a fairy tale. I'm afraid that ordinary people will only think that it is a fairy tale with a somewhat tragic ending when they see it. Only those who know something about Paper Ji can know what is a metaphor in it.

But the book that really makes sense is a pseudo-canon called "The Last Funeral Song of the Grand Duke".

It seems to be a personal biography, but there are many secrets hidden in it.

A lot of information about the "Last Funeral Song Grand Duke", that is, ...... The Secret of the Skeleton Male.

"You care about the bones, huh?"

"His position is so strange. I tend to investigate all those who might be hostile to me. ”

Annan nodded and said in a rational voice: "To be on the safe side, I must study the skeleton and the rotten man." ”

"Is that so......"

Hearing Annan's words, Paper Ji nodded thoughtfully.

She said slowly, "There's something I didn't know if I should tell you or not. But if you're used to that...... Then I'll have to tell you. ”

"What's wrong?"

"Nicholas ran away."

Paper Ji replied calmly: "Father Shi deliberately let him go." ”

Update complete! Good night, good night!

The nest is still adjusting its schedule...... I slept thirteen hours directly yesterday, and I didn't even have time for a physical examination today, so I continued to adjust my schedule first......
