Chapter 31 Precious
“Buy books and musical instruments for the kids?”
When Ronin explained his purpose, Martial seemed quite surprised, and half-doubtedly recounted the needs expressed by the young man just now, with an incredible expression.
Luo Ning hesitated for a moment and took out 5 shields from his body. The remaining money must be guaranteed for future living expenses.
"I have 5 shields here. If it is not enough, I will pay you some next month."
Martial stared at the young man for a long time, stretched out a hand and spoke slowly.
"I rarely hear anyone willing to spend a lot of money on these things. Don't get me wrong. I don't mean that you are poor and have not reached a certain level in general economics. No one will be interested in these things. The first thing you need to satisfy is food and clothing. And you are not buying these things for yourself, but poor children who have no blood relationship with you."
"You obviously want to say that I'm very poor."
Luo Ning complained in her heart, and saw the hand that reached out, subconsciously reached out to help her.
Martial stood up and leaned on a cane that was made of unknown material, but could have a premonition of the preciousness. With the help of the young man, he slowly walked towards the bookshelf leaning against the wall.
"I have a little regret that I haven't gone out to greet you in person, do you know, no one has ever been so selfless, at least I haven't seen it yet."
When you arrive at the bookshelf, you lean your cane against the bookshelf and open the bookcase.
"You can do as much as you want in books. I have a lot of musical instruments that I can give you a piano."
He paused and let out a hearty laugh.
"To be honest, when you said it was a private incident, I thought it was a borrowing money, and I had already figured out how to reject you without offending others, it was really shameful."
So honest...
Luo Ning suddenly liked this old man who was already a hundred years old. Even if he was really a bad person like Ryan described, it would make people hate him.
Of course, he would not think that the old man was a good person because of these behaviors just now.
To accurately evaluate a person, it cannot be judged independently as an individual, but based on the environment.
For example, a gang member who does everything he wants. He is a bad person to ordinary people, but he loves his family very much, and he is a good person to his family.
People are either good or bad!
Luo Ning looked at the spine of the books in the bookcase.
"The Essence of Magic (Note 1), "Research on Dyson Corindo's Absolute Theory", "Economic Structure of the Upper Society", "History of Social Development"..."
These books are only suitable for those with a considerable knowledge reserve, and are obviously not suitable for children.
But he stopped for a moment when he looked at a spine of a book.
"Research on the Origin, Faith, Development and Relationship of Religious and Magical Organizations"
The organizations I have heard or contacted at present include the Fraternal Society of Destiny that has been established recently, including the Church of Order, the Witch, the Trust of Money, the Black Iron Army, and the Holy Cult. I believe there are many such organizations. Understanding the power structure of this world will be of great help to future life.
Luo Ning reached out and took out the book, which was ten centimeters thick, thirty centimeters wide, and nearly fifty centimeters long, and held it in his hand.
The book is very heavy, wrapped with special animal skin on the outside, and iron is inlaid on the edges. When you open the book, you will see the directory, which is densely mentioned in it.
"Mr. Henderson, who was known as a sage, spent forty years studying the organizations and religions that people in the world knew and hidden in them, and finally wrote this book. Later, some secret churches believed that they had leaked their secrets, blasphemed their faith, and eventually killed the sage Henderson. The complete version of this book is very small, and I have collected one."
Luo Ning stroked the well-packed heavy book page, and felt a little embarrassed after hearing the origin of the book.
"Can you lend me a look?"
Martial thought for a moment.
"Of course, but I will have to return it in two months."
Putting the books aside for the time being, Luo Ning glanced at the bookcase again.
"Well, do you have any other collection of books, such as story books that are suitable for children to read, and it is best to have pictures."
Martial turned and walked in another direction, moved the candlestick on the wall, and the tightly slit wall immediately made a loud "roar" sound, and the wall cracked a huge gap until it turned into a huge entrance.
"Come with me."
Luo Ning followed behind and entered the interior, a fragrance of paper came to his nose, and a bright light flashed in the dark space, coming from the roof.
It is more than a dozen night pearls, with a diameter of twenty centimeters. In later generations, each of these night pearls is a priceless treasure.
"There are many important books here that cannot be used to provide lighting with open flames, so I got these night pearls."
Seeing the young man staring at the night pearl on the roof, Martial explained.
Countless bookshelves are lined up, filled with various books.
Martial glanced at the bookshelf, his voice was low and heavy, full of respect.
"This is a classic about magical practice that I have obtained from many organizations, and some magical objects. I have collected a lot. Compared with the books outside that can be opened to all readers, these books are usually accessible to only people like you, and ordinary people cannot reach them. I am affected by the light of the money trust. With this identity, I am qualified to spend a lot of money to buy these books and objects."
"You can really do whatever you want if you have money!"
Luo Ning couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he looked at the books with strange shapes and even radiating different lights.
"Money is the most magical magic in this world."
After admiring, Luo Ning asked curiously.
"Where are the magic books of the Order Church?"
Martial walked to a bookshelf, reached out and flipped through it, took out a book, and dust was everywhere when it was taken out.
"This is, I remember donating three million shields to the Order Church to get this book, and you members of the Order Church can read it for free."
How terrifying is this guy’s business? I bought such a book for collection of three million dollars...
Luo Ning reached out to take the book.
"The Code of Order"
When you open the first page, a line of words comes into your eyes.
"Mortals will die, and order will last forever."
My heart skipped a beat.
"So familiar. Isn't this a small word on the pocket watch that I cleaned for my mentor in my previous life?" It actually appeared here. Is my time travel related to this "Code of Order"?
I couldn't wait to turn to the second page, and what caught my eye was some strange language, which seemed a bit uneven. It should be the religious content of the Order Church. I had no interest in these contents, but he did not intend to truly believe in these things.
After turning a few pages in a row, I finally got to the point.
"Detailed explanation of ritual magic"
Finally, I saw what I wanted to see most.
This is a magical world. The last experience of fighting against Rensade made him realize that learning some magic will play a key role in future battles, at least not too embarrassed.
But I realized that someone was staring in front of me. If I looked carefully one by one, I guess the other party would doubt his identity. After all, as a member of the Order Church, it was very easy to see these things and should not be so obsessed.
And it seems not appropriate to have a centenarian man with a cane stand here with him for a long time.
"We have to find a way to take these books away."
Pretending to flip the page quickly, he suddenly stopped on one of the pages. He pretended to be confused and frowned.
Chapter completed!
