Chapter 489: The Demonic Land People Arrive at Xinhua Bookstore for the First Time

The energy surging from the black staff tore a hole in the ground, and the runes were like spring water overflowing from a fountain, enveloping the ground.

Countless words burst into shining light, and then two figures appeared.

The short figure was about the same height as a normal person, thin, and wearing a robe.

The tall one was more than twice as tall as an ordinary person and was covered in a heavy armor.

A wheezing sound was heard.

Every step the tall figure took on the ground left deep footprints.

The short figure paused the staff in his hand, and gently lifted the tip of the staff. The gushing runes automatically retracted into the "spring", and finally the hole in the ground closed and turned into a ball.

The ball floated and landed on the top of the cane, becoming a part of it, emitting a faint divine light.

"This is it, the material plane."

The strong figure asked in a thick, rough voice: "Which material plane have we landed in?"

"It's not clearly recorded in the history of the Demon Land. No one has left the Demon Land for a long time."

Although the material plane is not necessarily a wild place, the lives that grow in the devil's land and feel the divine light are born with a sense of pride. They believe that they are naturally superior to creatures in other material planes and are more advanced than them.

"Without those undead, there's really no need to come here."

The undead caused a great disturbance in the Demonic Land. Their fighting power was not that strong and their number was only 3000. Normally, no one would care about them.

It wasn't until some undead claimed that their number actually reached tens of millions that the whirlwind of snatching the undead really began.

Millions of undead, even if each has only one ring, are a very terrifying force. Ordinary masters or gods will be easily submerged in them if they encounter them.

Undead people are different from ordinary people. They are not afraid of death or sacrifice. If they can be recruited to work under their command, they will definitely become an ace force.

More and more demonic forces hold the same idea. From the north, south, to the west, all forces are trying to send guides to attract the undead to leave with them and join their respective forces.

They followed the direction of the road and soon saw a huge beetle-like building lying on the horizon ahead.

When I looked closer, I found that there were small ants under the "giant beetle".

It was a town.

The two men came with good intentions and quickly walked to the entrance of the town and lined up to enter the city.

"Did you see the undead?"

"Maybe not."

Their appearance is different from that of humans on the mainland, but fortunately there is no shortage of mutants in the world, and they look like all kinds of people.

"What kind of store is this?" The short man looked up at the sign.

There is a picture of a book and a feather pen on it.

"bookstore!"

The voice came from inside.

"bookstore?"

Books are the most precious knowledge. Ordinary people may not even read them once in their entire lives. Even in the Demonic Land, there are many people who have the power of the second ring without knowing how to read and write.

But books are the cheapest, and knowledge can be copied. As long as you have one book and spend a little bit of ink and time, you can get the second, third, and countless books.

Even in the distant Stone Beast Castle, there is no bookstore. These things can only be found in the libraries of the Beast King, Lords, Bishops, etc.

They would occasionally exchange them, but most of the time they would not even look at them once.

The fact that books would appear in the low-level material plane that the Demonic people looked down upon, and that there was even a bookstore, was beyond their expectations.

"Hawa?" The tall man subconsciously called out as he watched his companion walk into the bookstore.

His voice was as rough as the roar of an animal, but it did not attract anyone's attention on the street. It seemed that everyone had completely become accustomed to all kinds of emergencies and possibilities.

"Wait outside. I think books are the fastest way to understand this material plane."

There are countless material planes, but there are only three that can give birth to immortals. There must be some important information hidden in them.

Hawa walks into the bookstore.

I found a young girl sleeping soundly with a book in her arms.

His strength is not even at the first level, he is just an extraordinary person with a little bit of power.

He tapped the table gently.

"Ah, hello, welcome to Xinhua Bookstore."

The girl stood up suddenly and began to bow and greet without even knowing the direction.

"Ahem, I'm here." Hawa had to remind him.

"Excuse me!"

The girl turned around and bowed to Hawa again: "Welcome to Xinhua Bookstore, the free reading area is upstairs, please protect the books."

"Watch it for free?"

Hawa was a little surprised and turned to look at the stairs: "What if I want to buy it?"

"Then bring it here and pay the bill."

In fact, it was the first time that Hawa saw this kind of transaction method where customers made their choices and then took the initiative to pay at the counter. When he bought things in the magic land, the merchants would hide the goods in the carriage or behind them, in short, places that the customers could not reach.

The other party will only bring the item to you after you tell them what you want to buy.

Seeing that the other party sat back in the chair, picked up the book, squinted his eyes and began to doze off, Hawa deliberately stared at the book in the other party's hand for a few more seconds.

A book called "Giant War", the cover of which shows a woman who controls blood confronting a burly and powerful man.

It's a painting style I've never seen before.

Hawa withdrew his gaze and did not go directly to the second floor to read, but walked around the first floor.

"what is this?"

On one shelf were strange medals with patterns never seen before.

"It should be the Black Knight, right?"

Hawa tried hard to identify it for a long time, and his expression changed slightly.

The Black Knight has made a name for himself in the Demonic Land, and has even fought against the Beast King, becoming one of the forces that cannot be ignored in the Demonic Land.

However, the black knight on the medal looks a bit odd, with a big head, a short body, and a somewhat rounded image.

Looks kind of... cute?
want to!

Hawa admitted that the Black Knight was stronger than himself, but he did not think he would be stronger than the lord he served.

Suppressing the thought in his mind, Hawa looked down and found that the price was actually written on it, 100 gold coins, which should be the local currency.

"Who is this person?"

After looking at several in succession, Hawa walked to the second row of shelves.

The items on display this time were different again. It was a very exquisite ornament, including the Black Knight, a blond man, and even several beast kings from the Demonic Land.

One of them was Grand Duke Hein, the northern lord to whom Hava was loyal.

His lord possesses the powerful strength of 7 rings and is one of the undisputed strongest in the northern part of the Demon Land. He has many 6-ring and even 7-ring strongmen under his command. Even the guards who used to patrol the Divine Realm serve him. He is called the King of Kings.

The reason why Grand Duke Hein knew about the undead was because of his accidental contact with the undead some time ago, although the undead did not know that they had had a contact with the powerful Grand Duke Hein.

The clothes worn by the exquisite figurines now are exactly the same as those worn by Grand Duke Hein.

"hiss!"

Hawa took a deep breath. It was really scary that in such a remote material plane city-state, someone could use some strange means to know what happened in the Demon Land.

Although people have long known that the undead can communicate with each other, no one has ever said that they can communicate directly across dimensions.

He finally understood why the lord valued the undead so much and asked him to rush to the material plane immediately to search for the whereabouts of the undead.

But such a small doll is extremely disrespectful to Grand Duke Hein. Great beings can only be worshipped, worshipped and believed in. How can they be placed on the shelf as commodities and clearly marked with prices...

"Why is there no selling price?" asked Hawa.

"Ah?" The dozing girl jumped up suddenly when she heard the sound and raised her sleeve to wipe the saliva from the corner of her mouth.

“I said, why is there no price for this?”

"Oh, that's a reward, you can't buy it, you have to draw it."

"A reward? What is that?"

"That's it. You can draw a prize inside. The Northern Lord you like is the B prize."

Hawa walked to the wall, looked at the so-called "Ichiban-sho", and found that there were many prizes from top to bottom.

The most annoying thing is that the great Northern Lord is actually ranked in the third row!

The second row is the Black Knight, marked as A-level. How dare a mere Black Knight compete with Grand Duke Hein? The Grand Duke can turn him into scum with just a wave of his trident.

"How can this be!"

Hawa pointed at the top S prize and asked: "Why is she on the top?"

Not to mention Grand Duke Hein, he even found the Black Knight unreasonable.

His fingers trembled slightly, representing his inner unrest.

He also knew this person, a daughter of a fallen nation in the Northern Territory, known as the Silver Falls Sword Princess Leah. She had beautiful long silver hair and was at the 2nd ring of strength.

The country had long been destroyed in the war, and she had become the daughter of a fallen country who followed the swordsman to practice.

However, there was no great story of a daughter of a fallen nation restoring her country. Even she herself had no such intention. The woman was very ostentatious and high-profile and was considered "falsely noble".

Hang out with the bards all day and let them tell their stories.

Otherwise, with a mere 2nd ring strength, he wouldn't even be qualified to be heard by Hava. Modi threw a brick into the crowd, and eight out of ten people hit had 2nd ring strength.

She is like a gorgeous bird that shakes its feathers all the time, with nothing special except her perfect appearance.

"Ah? Because he's so popular, right?"

"what?"

"Silver Falls Sword Jillia is the best-selling one." The girl turned her head to take a picture, then took out a book.

Hawa reached out and took the book "Silver Falls Sword Jillia" and started to read it.

What kind of writing technique is this?
There are also pictures!

"It's a comic!" the girl said, "It's a comic based on the personal experience of Princess Silverfall Sword. It's selling very well and everyone is rushing to buy it."

"Wait, that's not her!"

Hawa pointed at the content above.

He admitted that the other person's painting was somewhat interesting, well... very interesting.

However, with Silver Waterfall Sword Princess's strength, she was simply unable to do these battles. For example, after falling off a cliff, Silver Waterfall Sword Princess accidentally encountered a fire dragon, and then used her superb sword skills to poke the fire dragon's eyes out.

How can it be!

A 2nd ring wanted to poke the fire dragon's eyes out? Even a 4th ring person couldn't do it, and couldn't even get close to a fire dragon. That dragon was comparable to a god, and being able to breathe normally near it was considered powerful.

The following content is also a bit outrageous, the encounter between Silver Falls Sword Princess and the Black Knight.

Based on Hawa's understanding of the legend of the Black Knight, he should have only two choices when he sees the Silver Falls Sword Lady. One is to kill her with one sword, and the other is to ignore her.

There is no possibility that the Black Knight would take the initiative to interact with someone with 2nd ring strength.

Not to mention that Silver Falls Swordsman Jillia was accidentally tied up by tentacles and hung in the air while fighting the Abyss.

Turn the pages, turn the pages, turn the pages.

Why are all the scenes of tying up Silver Falls Sword Jillia, and making her body sticky and slippery?

Fortunately, it's finally over.

The Black Knight appeared and cut off the tentacles of the Abyss and saved Silver Fall Sword Jillia, then the two of them used their swords together to destroy the disaster of the Abyss.

The unreasonableness here is not only that two people of different levels cannot communicate, but it is also no secret that the Black Knight's power is related to the abyss.

You said he killed his own people?
Even if he wanted to save people, he could let the tentacles go with just a command.

"It's all made up!" Hawa's chest heaved violently and he was very angry.

"Really?" The girl scratched her head. She had never seen the Silver Falls Sword Princess. "I think the Silver Falls Sword Princess is very powerful. She is willing to sacrifice herself to save her friends. She has the awareness of a swordsman. And her line..."

The girl suddenly gestured and said seriously: "If you pick up the sword, I can't hug you. If you put down the sword, I can't protect you!"

Hawa can guarantee that Silver Falls Sword Princess never said this. It sounds like she was copied from someone.

Never mind, it's not worth getting angry about this.

But why would the immortals spread false information?
He flipped through the book to the first page and saw the words "The content is adapted from a true story and is mainly for entertainment purposes" written on it.

Adaptation? What a fabrication!

How can a book be written like this? It is totally irresponsible.

"Is there any story about the Northern Lord, Grand Duke Hein?"

"No."

The girl shook her head and said, "Our Xinhua Bookstore delivers books at fixed times. I don't know when new books will be available."

There was no story about the Northern Lords. Hawa said he had no interest in the false stories that were made up at random.

“Are there any realistic history books?”

"That kind of book is meaningless."

The girl waved her hand and pointed upstairs: "It's all upstairs, go and see for yourself."

Hawa hurried upstairs.

I found that the space here is not very large, with a few rows of bookshelves and a place for reading.

"Enstad Continental Book District"

"Serelin Continent Book District"

"Xilu Continent Book Area"

"Magic Map Book Area"

Four major book areas.

Hawa subconsciously walked towards the magic map book area and found that there were very few books here. In addition to the previous "Silver Fall Sword Jilia", there were also "Tione's 100 Meals" and "Solaris's Cute Daily Life"

What are all these things?

"Legend of the Black Knight", "Lionheart Campaign", etc., and the rest are basically interesting.

But these were all things he had heard of, and they were nothing.

He moved towards other book areas. That's where he found what he wanted to know.

He subconsciously picked up the book "Giant War". He was indeed a little curious about what was written on it.
