Chapter 493 Bookstore
“It is indeed destined.”
Jilan said with a smile and took his seat.
He turned to look at Cecilia.
When he first came to the bookstore, his strength was still shallow. He had just entered the "Road of the Fire Sword" and was unable to identify the identity of the mysterious person on the other side.
But with a simple glance, the strength of the three ladies present was revealed clearly.
All level 4 “referees”.
These are three Kuze sisters.
Gilan couldn't help but speculate that the nine sisters of "Molan" might all be long-lived people.
“I wonder who this is?”
Gilan raised his hand politely, reaching across the small round table towards the woman with braids.
The "Molan" lady showed a shy and ladylike smile, stretched out her little hand and gently shook Gilan's hand.
Her beautiful eyes flashed, and she whispered:
"Vanessa Moran. I am the last among the sisters, the ninth sister... It is a pleasure to meet you, the youngest in the empire The outstanding foreign minister, the head of the mysterious investigation committee, and Cockburn's great hero, Mr. Guillain Iros"
"Miss Vanessa was so impressed."
Gillan smiled, finding it interesting.
The Moran sisters seem to have different personalities, each with their own characteristics.
For example, as the eldest sister, Cecilia is mature and steady, and full of royal sister style; the sixth sister, Yaz, is smart and kind-hearted; and the ninth sister, Vanessa, has a hint of playfulness hidden under her ladylike appearance.
At this time, Cecilia adjusted her round glasses and asked tentatively:
"I wonder what business Mr. Gillan has come to visit today?"
< br>
Hearing her ask, the two sisters next to her, Yaz and Vanessa, also cast curious glances at Gilan.
"Well..."
Jilan pondered for a moment and said frankly:
"I want to contact the 'Condensation Bookstore' behind you. I need help with some things. .”
Although the three sisters were surprised, they did not try to hide it anymore. The eldest sister Cecilia thought for a while and asked tentatively:
"I wonder why Mr. Gillan needs help?"
"I plan to collect level 6 secrets."
Jilan said.
"As far as I know, the 'Ningli Bookstore' holds most of the secrets in the world..."
"I see."
Cecilia was secretly relieved.
As long as Jilan does not represent the official empire and cause trouble for the "Ningli Bookstore", then everything will be fine.
She thought for a while and said in a deep voice:
"But Mr. Jilan, please be mentally prepared. Although the 'Condensation Bookstore' has collected a lot of mysterious knowledge, the secrets of level 6 The legend is too precious, so I may not be willing to take it out..."
"It doesn't matter"
Gillan shook his head.
He took out the congratulatory letter from "Ningguo Bookstore" that he received after winning the "Six-Party Gambling Battle" and placed it on the small round table.
"They once wrote me a letter, believing that as long as I can be sincere enough, the bookstore will be willing to share the secret book."
The three sisters looked at each other.
Cecilia said:
"In that case, then I will contact the 'Ningguo Bookstore' for Mr. Jilan."
"Thank you, madam."
Gilan nodded and nodded.
Cecilia took out a locked, unnamed book. The cover shone, showing a snow-white color.
Gilan saw it clearly.
The outer shell of the book in her hand is covered with "salt crystals", and its purpose is unknown.
'In alchemy, salt symbolizes the solidification process of material change, and is also a manifestation of the law of "Ms. Snow" in September... Therefore, the origin of the name "Condensation Bookstore", Is that so? ’
Jilan guessed.
Immediately afterwards, Cecilia was seen opening the book with a special small silver key.
Crash...
The moment the book was opened, a dazzling white light burst out, and pages of paper with complicated patterns flew out.
Flying all over the sky like butterflies, hovering in the bookstore.
"Cecilia asks to see Mr. Walter Van Cleef, the 'librarian'."
Only heard a gentle call from the female shopkeeper.
Soon, as if receiving instructions, the flying papers flew back in an orderly manner and spliced themselves together above everyone's heads.
Ninety-nine pages form a square.
The complicated patterns drawn above just form a huge alchemical array, thus blooming with brilliance.
An almost realistic translucent figure walked out and came to the bookstore.
This is an old man with a messy white beard that has not been groomed for a long time.
He is very tall, at least over two meters. In his hand was a wooden cane, with an old-fashioned kerosene lamp hanging on the handle. Wearing a brown velvet beret and a woolen coat, a long bunch of brass keys jingled on the belt around his waist.
"Cecilia, I'm very busy. There are three floors of books in the second library that are all moldy and need to be cleaned and maintained in time... huh?"
The tall old man was talking and noticed In the bookstore, in addition to the three sisters of the Moran family, there was also a young man present.
This young man wears a suit and top hat, has red hair in a ponytail, has a pair of coquettish purple eyes, and has an extraordinary temperament.
"Is this... Mr. Guillain Iros of the Bremen Empire?!"
The old man asked with a surprised look on his face.
"Nice to meet Mr. Walter."
Gilan stood up, took off his hat and extended his hand.
The old man looked at him twice and extended his hand to hold it.
Although he is just a projection and has no entity, his basic courtesy will not be lost.
“Cecilia, why did this big shot come to your shop?”
Walter chuckled and asked the female shopkeeper.
After some words, Cecilia relayed Gilan's needs to the old man.
"...So that's it."
The old man nodded.
He turned his attention back to the purple-eyed young man.
"Mr. Gillan, we have actually been paying attention to you for a long time. After all, there have been many rumors about you in the past year, and they are all major events that shocked the mysterious field."
Walter coughed. "We originally planned to make acquaintance with you. Since you took the initiative to find and want the sixth-level secret, we are naturally willing to present the collection and share it with you..."
"If you have any conditions, you can tell me."
Jilan nodded and smiled.
"'Ningguo Bookstore' is also a secret society that believes in 'Ms. Snow', and I believe they all abide by the principle of 'equivalent exchange'."
"Yes, sir."
Walter smiled stand up.
"I know that you are not only a high-ranking member of the Bremen Empire, but also a great alchemist of the new era, who is famous in the 'Midnight Rose'."
"It's all a false name. That’s all.”
Jilan waved his hand, not taking it seriously.
Seeing this, the old man no longer said any words of praise. After pretending to be thoughtful, he said:
"According to the rules of the bookstore, the secrets of those who have been around for a long time and above are not shared with outsiders. Especially level 6... But if it is Mr. Gillan, we are willing to make an equal exchange."
"I wonder what price you are willing to pay?"
The old man asked the question again. Throwing it back to herself, Jilan had a plan in mind.
He thought for a while and expressed his sincerity:
"Five white cards in exchange for a level 6 secret."
Because level 6 secrets are not circulated in the market, So it's hard to put a price on it. But according to Ms. Crow, Ji Lan secretly passed the "background" to him at the friendly price of 1 white card as a reference.
Hearing the quotation, the three Cecilia sisters looked at each other in surprise.
Because the price is no longer low.
"Mr. Gillan is indeed very sincere."
Walter was very satisfied and nodded.
"Hmm... I wonder which secret book you want, sir?"
"Except for the February 'set', all the 6th level secret books of the Furnace Spiral and Theosophical Spiral."< br>
Gilan held up his hat and said calmly.
"Huh?"
Everyone, including the three sisters, was shocked.
Walter even opened his mouth slightly.
"Why does Mr. Gillan need so many secrets?"
He is not worried that the other party cannot afford the transaction chips, but is worried that with so many level 6 secrets, there will be large-scale external rumors. risk.
This goes against the purpose of "Condensation Bookstore".
As an administrator, he needs to take responsibility.
"Actually, this is not a secret."
Gilan thought for a while and said.
“The path I am taking is not the path of the Twelve Sichen, but a path I have found out by myself, so I need other secrets as a reference.”
"If Mr. Walter is worried about my wanton rumors, you can ask the 'Twin Kite' to bear witness..."
"Sir, you are serious."
Walter said quickly.
Please ask the "Twin Kite" to bear witness. This is a common thing during transactions, but the current situation is obviously different.
Guilan Iros is not a lone mystic who knows nothing about his roots. He has a unique status, and Walter does not want to antagonize the young man because of it.
After some ideological struggle, the old man gritted his teeth and said:
"I believe you will not leak the secrets of level 6 easily. If you just want to understand it for yourself and use it as a reference, I am willing to reach this agreement with you on behalf of the bookstore." Transaction."
"Thank you, Mr. Walter, for your trust."
Gilan smiled.
“I wonder when I can get the esoteric medium? Or is it an oral esoteric medium?”
"Well..."
Walter showed a hint of embarrassment.
"Sorry, Mr. Gillan, although I am the librarian, I have not read every secret book, so I cannot dictate it to you... and the number of level 6 secret books you need There are too many, and they are stored in libraries in different regions, so dispatching them takes time."
After some explanation, Jilan learned.
"Ningguo Bookstore" has a total of nine secret libraries, which are built in corners around the world and are rarely known to anyone.
The seven secret biographies that Gilan needs are stored in the third and fourth libraries respectively. It just so happens that the location of these two libraries is not within the Bremen Empire, but in the Owena Federation.
"So how long will it take?"
Gilan frowned slightly and asked.
Seeing him frown, Mr. Walter coughed and said cautiously:
"Conservatively, it will take two months..."
"Two months?"
Jilan's heart sank.
He couldn't have waited so long.
The teacher's life is about to end, and there are too many unknown variables. He needs to advance to level 6 as soon as possible to gain stronger power.
At this time, Walter said with a bitter face:
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Jilan, there is a war between the two countries right now, and the two sides have cut off transportation and communication. Our alchemy array cannot transmit across such a long distance..."
Gilan suddenly thought of What.
Don’t “White Gull” Aleviya and “Black Sandpiper” Weiner happen to be in the Federation?
Let them get the secret for themselves and then give it to them through the Dream Collection. This way they can avoid a lot of trouble and don't have to wait so long.
"So be it, Mr. Walter."
Gillan raised his hand to signal.
"How about you deploy the secret message, and I will have someone pick it up for me in the Owenna Federation?"
"This is the best!"
Walter said quickly.
Gilan nodded and took out 35 "Sal Cards" without writing any ink, then handed them to Ms. Cecilia at the side.
"Have a good deal."
"Have a good deal, sir."
The wrinkles on Walter's face were all smiles.
