Chapter 606: 195. Struck Big Luck_2
“Let demonstrate so you can understand,” said Hadley Grant. With a wave of his hand, he summoned his diary using his [Mage’s Hand].
Under the watchful eyes of Noland Lee, Hadley deftly deactivated the magic lock on the diary, summoned a sphere of water, put the diary inside it, and then took a pen inked with water and began writing on the soaked pages.
As soon as Hadley deactivated the magic lock, Noland activated Deconstruction and deconstructed 100% of the content on the diary.
Noland concealed his excitent at the ssage from the system, ensuring nothing showed on his face.
“Did you see?” Hadley showed Noland the words he had written inside the water sphere. “This book is peculiar because it records words underwater. I often need to stay in the sea when I sail. Therefore, a diary in which I can write under water is indispensable to .”
After showing Noland the words he wrote inside the water sphere, Hadley placed the diary and pen back on the table, and dissipated the hovering water sphere in front of him.
“Do you need anything else, sir?” Hadley asked.
“That’s it, Hadley. Please pack everything up for . How much is the total?” Noland reached into his magic pouch.
Hadley quickly picked up the items from the storage shelf, muttering:
“The six items total 3020 gold coins. I’ll round it down for you, so it’s only 3000 gold coins.”
Noland pulled out three 1000 gold coins from his magic pouch and placed them on the table.
Hadley packed the items Noland had purchased inside a silver tal box secured by a magic lock and a chanical lock.
Noland inspected each item, confird there was no mistake, then put everything into his magic pouch.
Before leaving, Noland asked:
“Hadley, if I want to learn more about the Dragon Clan, what should I do? I’m interested in historical literature.”
Making a rare profit, Hadley’s mood was jolly.
Leaning against the cashier desk, the noise from the creaking desk filled the air as he pondered his response:
“The things you’re asking about have basically all been snapped up by various forces. You hardly ever see them on the market. Even Nextdoor’s Magic Items Exchange rarely sell such literature.”
“Snapped up? What do you an?” Noland hadn’t seen any decent Era of Dragons literature while browsing the market so he had assud they were just rare. It seed there was more to it than that.
“I an literally what I said.” Hadley stroked his beard and asked:
“You know about the Dragon Clan treasures flung from the Spinning Continent, right?”
“I do,” Noland nodded.
Hadley motioned with his hands and explained:
“The treasures that fly out from the Spinning Continent are followed by different coloured flas. Those with lots of text and patterns have brown trails and are generally referred to as ‘Draconic Literature’. The powerful wizard forces hover over the sea surface in their magic airships and grab all the Draconic Literature before it even falls to the sea.”
“The items I recover here and from the seabed are the ones that the wizard forces don’t want. Only on extrely lucky occasions will I co across Draconic Literature that has been overlooked by the wizards.”
Hadley pointed to the book he used as his diary:
“Look at this book. It’s a piece of Draconic Literature that I found by sheer luck. It’s my real treasure and I take it everywhere. The historical literature you ntioned is a type of Draconic Literature. Wizards obsessed with studying Dragon Magic and Giant Dragon Craftsmanship keep these, whether they are spell blueprints or craftsmanship blueprints, in their treasure vaults. The historical literature you ntioned is no exception.”
“So that’s how it is… no wonder I haven’t seen anyone trying to sell literature from the last era…” Noland asked another question:
“Are there any modern books about Dragon Clan history on the market?”
Hadley thought about it:
“You an history books of the Era of Dragons? These are part of the curriculum for mbers of the various Deep Sea Wizard Forces, and only mbers can study them. You can either join these forces or you have to buy it from illegal Knowledge rchants.”
Hadley paused and looked at Noland:
“Don’t look at . Although I might look shabby, I would never sell knowledge privately. I have a soul contract with the Deep Sea Branch. I’d be punished if I leaked any knowledge.”
Noland shook his head slightly:
“That’s a sha. I’ll have to find another way.”
Hadley assud Noland was considering dealing with illegal Knowledge rchants and advised:
“Be careful, then. Don’t be conned. Most of these illegal Knowledge rchants have the backing of the Dread Sail Pirate Nation. If you’re not careful, you and your money might both be kidnapped by them.”
“Thank you for the warning.” Noland pat his magic pouch, “See you.”
“You’re welco anyti, sir. You certainly know quality when you see it. I appreciate custors like you. I’m going out to sea in seven or eight days. I’ll be gone for over ten days. Feel free to drop by then to see if there’s anything you like.” Hadley cheerfully saw Noland to the door.
Noland walked out of the door and t up with Denise Green, who had also just finished her shopping.
The two found the ‘ssenger’s Hostead’, run by the Magic News Departnt, and walked in.
On Noland’s encouragent, Denise consud 3000 gold coins and purchased 30 uses of the Contract Magic ssenger.
