Vol 2 Chapter 286: The interior of Taboo Bookstore

When Richard approached and read through the books with the logo of the Black Spirit Empire, he saw that many pages were damaged due to poor preservation, and some of them still had traces of water immersion and worms. In a sense, this is not a book at all, and it is difficult to even call half a book.
After turning a few pages, Li Cha's eyebrows frowned as he scanned it, and he felt a bit familiar.
"If a male slave makes a mistake, you can punish him like this. Strip him, tie it to a wooden stand, and hit his lower body hard with a wooden stick until he makes a woman's voice in pain, and... "
Li Cha raised her eyebrows, turned the book to the first page, and saw a line on it that was not accidentally written: My autobiography-Moratos.
This turned out to be a duplicate book already owned.
This……
Richard shook his head, preparing to restore the book to its original state, but because of the excessive page turning movement, he touched the red line, and immediately placed a small copper bell connected to the book, and jingled.
The black strong man who stopped at the door quickly appeared nearby. Looking over, he buzzed and asked, "You ring the bell?"
"No." Li Cha shook his head and explained, "Just accidentally encountered it!"
"Inadvertent?! Hey, there is no accident here!" The black man said in a deep voice, "In the taboo bookstore, the bell rings, there are only two possibilities. Either you are ready to buy the book, or you are ready to steal Books. In the former case, you will pay for it. In the latter case, I will kill you directly regardless of whether you are recommended by a college student, Surahadi! Which one do you choose?"
"..." Li Cha was silent, half silent, and really did not want to have a ridiculous fight with the black man because of such a thing, and asked aloud, "How much?"
"150 inferior crystal coins, or 2000 gold coins." said the black man.
"How much?" Li Cha raised an eyebrow.
I have to say that this price is really a bit high. You should know that at the auction, seven well-reserved books from the Helling Empire were handed over to young men at auction, but they were only 1,000 inferior crystal coins. This is a multiple of the premium. Even so, in a word, there are only 143 inferior crystal coins in a book. Now the black strong man directly requests 150 inferior crystal coins, which is a bit too much.
The black strong man said unkindly: "Here, a book is the price. I told you the rules long ago. If you want to buy a book, you should prepare the money in advance. There is no bargain here. , Nor can poor ghosts come in casually."
Li Cha narrowed his eyes, looked at the black strong man half-sounded, stretched out into his arms, and took out one fine crystal coin and five medium crystal coins to hand to the black strong man.
Suddenly, the black strong man took the crystal coin a little unexpectedly. Obviously, he didn't expect that Richard would pay so happily. In his view, Li Cha might have been like other people, and the ink remains for a long time.
After accepting the crystal coins, the expression of the black strong man eased a bit, and said to Richard: "Wait a moment, I will take down the book for you."
When he had finished speaking, the black strong man turned and walked away. After a short time, he came back with something in his hand—a ball of white cotton and a sharp black dagger.
Putting cotton carefully into the brass bell, the black strong man lifted the red string and began to cut it with a sharp dagger.
Only then did Richard discover that the thin red line was far more tenacious than imagined. Rao is a strong man like a black strong man. He cut the red string with his dagger and cut the red string, which is more difficult than cutting the wire.
After cutting the red string, the black strong man handed the book to Li Cha, thinking about trying to draw out two three-finger wide, seven or eight centimeters long nameplates-one gold and one silver, from his pocket centimeters.
Handing the two nameplates to Richard, the black man said: "After you buy a product here, you are considered a formal guest. From then on, you can freely enter and leave here with the gold nameplate, and will not be blocked.
And the silver nameplate, you can give it to others, as the person you recommend, and also get the qualification to enter the bookstore. However, there is only one chance, I hope you will be cautious. "
Richard took the nameplate, put it away, looked at the black man and asked, "There is an internal bookstore here, right?"
According to the former university scholar Suradi, this taboo bookstore is divided into two parts: inside and outside. The difficulty of external entry is not too high. Some people recommend it. But internally it is not possible, the conditions are more demanding and the threshold is higher. As for the specific content, Surady did not say, but said that there will be more books to choose from.
After hearing Richard’s words, the black strong man's eyebrows were wrinkled, and he asked aloud, "Do you want to enter the internal bookstore?"
"I don't have the books I want here. I'm going to take a look inside, isn't it?"
"Yes, but..." The black man looked at Li Cha and looked up and down, as if estimating something, and slowly said, "But...you need to pass our test."
"Huh? Test, what test?" Richard asked.
"It's a test of your strength. You have to show your strength and reach a certain standard ~EbookFREE.me~ before you are allowed to enter the interior of our taboo bookstore." The black man said with a serious look.
"After all, we are prohibited here, the internal is more severe than the external, and there are more prohibited items. If people are allowed to enter casually, it is not bad if they are forced to be asked outside," continued the black man. , "So, to enter the inside, you must show that you have the strength to protect our internal secrets."
"Is that..." Li Cha narrowed his eyes slightly after hearing this. There is not much to worry about such things as showing strength. But he was thinking, would his long-time disguise be exposed?
He was introduced by the university scholar Socrates, and his identity is on the bright side. If he shows too high a strength, or even shows the magic ability, then will the university man Surathi know?
Malicious speculation, the university scholar Soradi asked him to come here, will he deliberately explore his purpose in it?
Even if this might not be very big, he had to pay attention, and drive the ship for thousands of years carefully. After all, after the auction, he doubted that the identity of the university scholar Soradi was not as simple as it seemed. What if it is related to Shiraishi High Tower College?
In this case……
Gently grabbing the two nameplates in his hand, Richard thinks it is better to be cautious in half-sounding, and looks at the black man: "If you need to test, then I think... think about it."
"Just whatever you want." The black man raised his hand. "The choice is yours."
"That's good," Richard said, "I will come again when I think about it."
"Okay." The black man responded, then made a petition to the outside of the library.
Richard didn't care, walked out, followed the big underground market, and returned to the laboratory.
