It is a simple wooden bookshelf placed under the eaves, and there are many books made of animal skins, and in order to prevent it from rotting in the sun, there is a wide and large blind on the shelf, which looks like a gazebo next to a convenience store.

Although the bookshelves are not exquisite, the dozens of books on them are extremely neatly arranged, and of course, books are not as strong as equipment, and they can easily break if you are not careful.

My gaze wandered over the hundreds of books, ready to take the first step in the plan.

Soon, I picked up one of the beautifully bound animal skin books, and the feeling of being thick and bulky in my hand, and the soft and tough touch of my fingers, made me judge in an instant, regardless of the contents, the materials alone were enough to double the price of the book a few times, and the corner of my eye stole a glance at Aegis, and sure enough, a smile appeared on his face wrinkled like orange peel.

"Uh-huh, this book seems good."

I casually flipped through the contents, skimmed through them quickly, and kept nodding my head to make a look of deep feeling.

Of course, I took the book upside down......

The afterglow swept quickly, and sure enough, Aegis's smile stiffened slightly, but in an instant, it returned to the characteristic enthusiasm of a merchant.

"This knight's novel is very interesting, and it's good to take some time when you are adventuring, well, you need it."

After looking at it for a while, I nodded and said with a smile.

"It's... Yes, sir, hehe, hehe......"

Aegis laughed unnaturally a few times, echoed my words, and glanced at the cover of the book I was holding in my hand, on which were clearly written the four big characters of "Classics of the Holy See", God forbid. Although it is true that most of what he sells is some overflowing heroic novels, but it does not include this one, the materials of this book, knightly novels will only be recorded in those crude animal skins and papers, and only these nobles like to collect or use to show off the classics will use such high-grade animal skins.

Aegis secretly pinched a cold sweat, in the Dark Continent, there are many illiterate people, even if they are adventurous, there are many people, so there is nothing to be ashamed of. But it was the first time I had seen a guest who loved face as much, and he picked one of the few books that had nothing to do with knightly fiction and boasted about it......

But Aegis was a businessman, and though he was still smiling, he took the book from my hand and gave me a thumbs up.

"My lord is really good-looking, this is the best-selling novel at the moment, if I didn't blow the whole Lu Gaoin, maybe only my last one would be left."

"Then you say, I'm the best companion for Adventure to call your eyes."

I hoarsely rolled up my cloak and said proudly.

Very well, it seems that Aegis is convinced that I am a pretending illiterate. As long as there is this premise, he will be unguarded, even if I now say that I want that unknown book on the foot. He is unlikely to be suspicious and achieve his first goal.

But that wasn't enough, the opponent was the cunning Aegis, and in order to get him completely into the wrong place, I went on to select several beautifully looking books in them, and said something very vague in a very ambiguous way, as if an experienced illiterate person was showing off his literacy, and occasionally showed a small flaw or two. Step by step, it led Aegis to the misconception that I was illiterate.

"Okay, that's all."

I looked at the dozens of books that Aegis was holding in his hands, sweating profusely, and nodded in satisfaction that I had collected almost half of the books on the wooden shelves.

"My lord is really a good eye."

Although he was overwhelmed by dozens of heavy books, Aegis was still very happy, this is a rare big customer.

A total of 24 copies. Aegis crackled for a moment. Just told me a price that was not an accident.

"My lord, I'll give you a seventy-fifty discount. That's a total of 1,326 gold coins. He said with a smile.

I talked a lot with the old man Kane when I was in the camp of Rog, so I thought I was illiterate, or I didn't know anything about the price of books, that would be a big mistake, the price offered by Aegis was much more expensive, but considering the high-quality animal skins used in these books, it was also within a reasonable range, but this price was not as he said, it was estimated that the price was raised and then discounted, in fact, it was no different from the original price, this is the usual trick of the merchants of the original world, I have long been surprised.

That's why I said that with the meager salary of the elders of Camp Rog's alone, I can't buy a few books at all, just like the 24 beautiful and luxurious books I am buying now, if I have 1,326 gold coins, the average one is a little more than 55 gold coins, and the elder's salary is only 50 gold coins, and I can't even afford to buy a book.

As for why it is so expensive, it is said that the introduction in Kane's book, this is because the dark continent is strict zhòng lacks the carrier relationship of recorded words, the books of the dark continent are divided into two kinds, one is animal skin, the other is paper, and these two are divided into many categories, like I buy these now, it is made of quite high-grade animal skin after repeated rubbing and processing, not only the paper is soft, not easy to damage, and the text inside is also more long, such books, assisted by appropriate preservation methods and magic reinforcement, Even if it is preserved for tens of thousands of years, it is not a problem, and other crude materials, such as pig skin, dog skin, etc., these books made of animal skins will even gradually stink over time, of course, the price is cheaper, if I change the books on hand to these rough leather zuò, it may not even be worth 50 gold coins. ^^

By the way, the highest grade animal skin in the Dark Continent is said to be a dragon skin......

Whether it is crude or expensive, the animal skin scroll has a disadvantage, that is, it is heavy and not easy to store, and then, the people naturally understand the paper, but the appearance of paper does not make the price of books much cheaper, because the paper of the Dark Continent is made of jam of an edible fruit, because this fruit has a long growth cycle and the method of making zuò is complicated, so the appearance of paper did not make books popular in the Dark Continent. They remain luxuries that only the wealthy can enjoy.

By the way, because it is made with edible jam, you can eat it as soon as it is ready, but it is best not to try it after three days, if you don't want to have diarrhea......

And now, I am thinking about some serious questions in my mind, that is, how to make paper, trees, as long as there are trees. This is common knowledge that middle school students can get into the classroom, of course, whether they remember it later or not is another matter, and I just have such an impression, although it is incomplete, but it doesn't matter, people in the Dark Continent are not stupid. As long as the right direction is provided, I can guarantee that with the ability of the Akara and their abilities, they will be able to organize a huge paper manufacturing base in less than a month, so be it. After completing this mission, go back and discuss with Akara and the others, if the method is really feasible. An old bookworm like Kane is probably going crazy.

I don't know what impact the thoughts that are rolling in my mind now will have on the Dark Continent, this is something that can be called a revolution, no matter what era, any plane, the popularization of civilization is crucial, and books happen to be one of the most important means of civilization popularization. It's just a simple idea in my mind, not to mention that it can make those who are thirsty for knowledge but can't afford to buy a book read and write, and then promote civilization, in the short term, paper can already improve the poor living conditions in Rogge camp in one fell swoop, and save a country with one idea. This statement is not an exaggeration at all. It turns out that the RB of the world is the best portrayal.

Of course, I'm not thinking as far as I can now. I'm not an educator, I'm not a leader, I'm just an otaku adventure, and based on this understanding, I just want to make books cheaper, and of course, there is another purpose......

"Even if it's a seven-to-five discount, it's a little expensive, boss, I know a little bit about the price of these books."

I glanced at Aegis and frowned.

"Since adults know, they should understand that this price is actually very fair, even if it is changed to another company, there is no possibility of a cheaper price." Aegis said with an unhurried smile, and at the same time secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glad that he did not make a random offer because the other party was illiterate.

"Boss, you can't say that, I bought so much at once, no matter how I say it, there should be a discount." I began to bargain like a housewife in the vegetable market.

"Guest, you really make me embarrassed by saying this, no matter how cheap it is, I will lose money old man, a big hero like you, you shouldn't need to save this little money." Aegis wept sadly.

"If it's a big hero, shouldn't you save money to help the poor?" Not to be outdone, I returned.

"If you are a hero, you shouldn't be harsh on a poor old man in order to save money to help poor people." Aegis was-for-tat.

"Harsh? I think that 4,000 gold coins is enough for your old man to spend the rest of his life in a brothel. ”

I reminded Aegis, you thief old man just cheated me out of 4,000 gold coins, if you don't give some discounts, won't your conscience be afraid of God's punishment?

"You're really good, guest, it seems that I've lost my eyes on the old man." Aegis didn't expect me to be so difficult, and couldn't help but be surprised to say, it seems that I gave him a bad image at the beginning.

"Hey, hey, hey—"

The two of us laughed like roosters, and neither of us wanted to miss a move.

"In this way, there is no need to reduce the money, in addition to these books, you can give me four more." My eyes grunted and I offered a compromise.

"Four? Guest, you're embarrassing old man, if everyone were like you, my shop would go bankrupt in less than a year. Aegis shook his head desperately.

"One copy, at most one can be delivered."

There is a play, I am happy in my heart, but I can't panic at this time, if I directly name the stepping book, it will definitely arouse Aegis's suspicions.

"No, no, at least that's the number." I held out three fingers.

In the end, Aegis and I were in a stalemate between three and two, and no one would give in, at this time, I guess Aegis should also realize that this is no longer a matter of price, but a matter of face, who made me a "face-loving" guest?

So at this point, it's almost time to capture the ultimate goal, as long as he thinks that I just can't make concessions, and nothing else.

Just as I was about to speak, Aegis's tone changed, and his small and shrewd eyes rolled a few times

"It's not impossible to give three more books, but there is one condition, that is, among these three books, this one must be included, and the other two books are optional." He pointed to the dirty book at the foot of the bookshelf and said.

I was caught off guard, and the whole person was stunned on the spot, what is this called, it didn't take any effort to get it.

However, I quickly suppressed the joy in my heart, and luckily I always wore my hat, otherwise I might have seen something to him in the expression I had just made.

"Okay, dead old man, count yourself ruthless."

I pretended to be angry and left a cruel sentence, and picked out two books that looked the most expensive at random, and it could be seen that Aegis's facial muscles twitched a few times.

"The guests have a good eye, why don't you go inside and try your luck again?" Seeing that I picked up the two most expensive books casually, Aegis said in great frustration as if a piece of flesh had been cut.

"Forget it, I don't have any money on me, let's do it another day."

At lightning speed, I almost snatched the book that the little ghost had been calling for from Aegis's hand, and I didn't say hello, muttering that I would hand over the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, and the money would be cleared and I would not return it, and I disappeared into the crowd as soon as I slipped away.

Looking at my rushing expression, and then thinking of what I had just done, Aegis was worthy of being a cunning man, and almost quickly connected my purpose with the book, thinking of this possibility, his face couldn't help but turn blue for a while, and the whole person collapsed weakly on the chaise longue he had done at the beginning, and there was no master image at all.

Hunting geese all day long, I didn't expect to be pecked by geese today, retribution! However, even if you guess, there is no reward, so it's a big deal......
