The "Ancient Documents" bookstore located at No. 17 Birchwood Street in Constantine City is the next target of Jiang Xiaotan and Eveli.

Birch Street is a bustling commercial street. Because it is close to the upper city, the style here is completely different from the shabby scene at the gate of Constantine City. The street is clean and tidy, and the houses on the roadside are all made of stone. Some comparisons

Luxurious storefronts even use glass showcases.

However, due to the looting of vampires some time ago, Constantine was panic-stricken and there were fewer pedestrians on the streets. Birch Street also looked much deserted these days.

The "Ancient Documents" bookstore has a small facade, even a bit inconspicuous compared to the store sign next to it, but once you enter, you will find that there is something special inside.

"In this world... ahem, the literacy rate of civilians in the Eastern Continent is not very high. Why can there be such a big bookstore?" Jiang Xiaotan looked at the rows of tall bookshelves and the books on the bookshelves, puzzled.

asked.

"Because this is the only bookstore in the province of Constantine."

Eveli casually pulled out a book from the bookshelf, flipped through two pages, suddenly blushed, and put the book back on the shelf in a panic.

Jiang Xiaotan glanced at the title of the book: "The Demented Lizard Man Attendant".

There happened to be a book on his bookshelf, so he pretended to be careless and quickly flipped through a few pages, only to see that it read:

"Attendant! Come and compete with me to see whose spear is stronger and brighter!"

"Master, how can the weak spear in my hand compare with yours?"

....

It turns out to be Brother Xuande, and it’s made of glass, which is disrespectful.

He closed the book calmly and put it back on the bookshelf.

Next to it are "A Heartwarming Battle", "The Wind, the Dark Moon, the Treasure and the Mirror", "The Ascetic Lightglass", "Plum in the Golden Bottle", etc., which are also similar books.

Jiang Xiaotan naturally skipped this area, and then selected a few books recording history and scenery.

Then, he found a shelf displaying magic books at the very back of the store.

Most of the books here are hand-copied, and most of the thick covers are sealed with wax, so they are not allowed to be read casually.

Jiang Xiaotan selected several elemental magic books. When he reached for a book of "Necromantic Magic", Eveli, who was passing by, reminded him: "This is a forbidden book."

Necromancy is a taboo spell, Jiang Xiaotan knew this, but now he was more interested in this book.

At this time, an old voice came from behind the bookshelf: "The bookstore does not sell banned books."

An old man who was no taller than Jiang Xiaotan's belly button came out from behind the bookshelf.

"Ah, the store manager." Eveli recognized this man. He was the dwarf manager of the bookstore.

"Here, let me see which book it is? Oh, "Necromancy", this is a book describing the principles and defensive countermeasures of necromancy. There are no specific necromancy spells in it, so it is not a banned book."

The store manager squinted at the book cover, then handed it back to Jiang Xiaotan, and then he noticed several books in Jiang Xiaotan's arms.

"The books you read are very profound. In fact, you can buy them one by one. Don't bite off more than you can chew."

This sentence made Jiang Xiaotan very fond of him. The store manager does not trick people into buying more books, but considers them from the customer's perspective. He is obviously a book lover.

"I personally tend to buy all the books I like at once."

"Well, you are quite similar to me in this regard. If I hadn't had this problem, I might not have this bookstore." The store manager smiled and no longer interfered with Jiang Xiaotan's choice.

When Jiang Xiaotan finished selecting the books and was about to pay the bill, the door of the bookstore was suddenly kicked open, and a group of people wearing clergy robes, but as tough and vicious as bandits, broke in.

"We are from the Heresy Inquisition House, here for routine inspection! Get out of here if you have no relevant personnel!"

There were only two customers in the store at this time, Jiang Xiaotan and Eveli, so the irrelevant people naturally referred to them.

Jiang Xiaotan was a little dissatisfied with their arrogant attitude, but before he could react, the store manager winked at him and whispered: "Take these books and leave first, and come back later to pay."

The store manager's eyes were a little strange, and Jiang Xiaotan suddenly thought of the "banned books" that Eveli just mentioned.

He understood the store manager's intention, lowered his head and left holding the book.

The fierce-looking clergymen guarding the door did not stop him, and he walked out of the store smoothly.

However, Eveli was stopped.

"Wait a minute, I think you are dressed like a witch!" A clergyman said, staring at Evely's chest maliciously.

"What do you want to do? I'm not a witch!" Evely, who was very calm when facing vampires, was a little panicked at this moment.

"It doesn't matter whether she is a witch or not. Take her away!"

"Yes! The anti-magic stick on my body reacted, and she is a witch!"

"Take him back and interrogate him carefully!"

Several people wanted to step forward and pull Eveli away, but suddenly a shout came from behind: "Stop!"

These always domineering clergy wanted to see who dared to resist, but when they turned around, they saw a silver dagger already placed on the neck of the heretic inquisitor.

Jiang Xiaotan sneered and said, "Eveli, I think these people look a bit like vampires. How about we use the silver sword to scratch their necks a few times?"

This trick is called repaying the other person with his own way.

The inquisitor who was being held was trembling slightly, and he didn't dare to breathe.

Several clergymen shouted with anger and anger.

"Let go, Lord Inquisitor! Are you tired of living?!"

"You dare to stop us from catching the witch! Burn you to death!"

"Tie him to the stake!"

"The rack? This young master must have come down from the rack completely!" Jiang Xiaotan held the sword in his right hand and put it on the judge's neck. He condensed the runes in his heart and raised a ball of fire in his left hand.

"Witchcraft! He's a witch... no, a wizard!"

"Witchcraft? This is the most orthodox elemental magic!"

Jiang Xiaotan deliberately made the fireball very big, and the flames burned off the judge's beard and eyebrows.

"Watch it!"

Just when he was about to lose control of the fireball, he suddenly pointed his hand to the sky, and the huge fireball flew into the sky, turning into a grand daytime fireworks.

Huh? It seems like something was hit? And there was a woman's scream? It was probably an illusion. How could there be someone in the sky?

At this time, Eveli had already broken away from everyone's pull and ran behind Jiang Xiaotan.

She whispered: "Well...Kain, although the church has now acquiesced to the existence of elemental magicians, legally speaking, elemental magic is still a heresy..."

Jiang Xiaotan was stunned.

I originally just wanted to show off my strength and warn these magicians, but unexpectedly, I handed them a knife.

"Heretic! This person is really a heretic!"

"Burn him!"

The clergymen had already surrounded him aggressively.

"Back off! Don't you care about this guy's life?"

Jiang Xiaotan put the silver dagger close to the judge's neck. At this time, a magic stick came from the back row and smashed a book. Jiang Xiaotan turned aside to avoid the hidden weapon, but because of this action, his right hand

After taking it for a moment, the dagger made a small gash on the judge's neck.

What happened next took everyone by surprise.

The area around the slight wound on the Inquisitor's neck began to turn black, and the silver poison quickly spread throughout his body. Then the Inquisitor rolled his eyes and collapsed to the ground, dead.

"This...this guy is really a vampire?!"

In a bungalow in Shangcheng District not far away, Lei Lei suddenly stopped what he was doing, raised his head and said, "Ah, sister, one of the informants I planted in the church died..."

A "well" formed on his sister's forehead. She clenched her fists and gave her brother, who was not observant, a shudder: "So what if he dies! Move the master into the room quickly!"

"Oh." The young man pouted with a look of grievance. He carefully held the unconscious countess and walked to the second floor.

"It's all your fault for talking nonsense. After seeing that adult, the master flew out happily. It only took a few days for the injury to heal!" Linlin was still scolding.

Lei Lei looked helpless and thought, can you blame me?

He carried the Countess to the second floor, carefully placed her in the bathtub, and then handed her over to his sister.

Before leaving, Lei Lei looked at the pitiful appearance of his owner, who had a charred face, and couldn't help but cursed in his heart: "What a cruel attack!"

The target of the slander is currently facing off against a group of villains.

There were already several people on the opposite side holding swords, but no one dared to charge forward.

That is to say, this group of magicians are used to being domineering, but if they are a little bit reasonable, they will retreat long ago.

There are more and more civilians watching. They can't see the vampire corpse in the center of the crowd, they can only point at it in the outer circle.

No one noticed that a group of knights was escorting a carriage and slowly came to Birch Street.

Blocked by the crowd, the carriage stopped. A nobleman wearing exaggeratedly gorgeous clothes and a mustache poked his head out and asked in a sharp voice: "What's going on? Someone is going to attack the orphan."

What?"

A knight in front turned around and said: "It doesn't look like an attack. Please get back into the carriage first and I'll go investigate."
