Chapter 18 Parting anecdote

 The two parties were about to start a fight, but were stopped by the vice-president of the Haiyue City Bounty Guild. Under the persuasion of the vice-president, both sides stopped fighting, and the dispute was eliminated without beginning or end.

Angel said it was a pity from the bottom of his heart.

After the Hailan merchant sat down, he immediately said in a cold voice: "I just said that the Glorious Golden Bird Knights could not be the ones responsible for the Hailan tragedy, because the Hailan tragedy was not man-made at all!"

After saying this, the Hailan merchant stopped talking.

Isn't it man-made? Could it be done by evil spirits? Although everyone was puzzled, no one lowered their face to ask him.

Angel was also curious, but he thought that he would leave the Old Continent soon. When he came back from Fan Continent, maybe the war between the two countries would be over. Angel also stopped inquiring and finished eating the barbecue.

, and left the guild.

Due to the development of maritime trade, the prosperity of Haiyue City is second only to the capital city. Angel has lived for fourteen years, and the largest city he has ever seen is Waterford under the jurisdiction of Gru Town. Haiyue City only covers an area of

The area is comparable to four Waterfords, not to mention other infrastructure.

Angel's eyes were dazzled by what he saw along the way. When he was on the hotel terrace, he took in the distant view of half of the city. It was majestic and prosperous. Now that he had a close contact, he found that Haiyue City was not only majestic as a whole, but also exquisite in details.

.Compared with Gru Town, which is full of stone houses at first glance, it is more than one level higher-end.

Angel stopped and walked, observing the joys, sorrows, and joys of all living beings, thinking about some fragmentary humanistic facts, and connecting with the famous novels told by his past mentors, he actually gained something by drawing parallels.

Instructor Jon once talked about the unity of knowledge and action. Angel used to find it difficult to understand. But when he went out and left the protective circle of his relatives, Angel began to combine the details he saw with his eyes with the truth he was thinking in his heart.

At that time, I started to understand a little bit about the unity of knowledge and action.

Angel soon arrived at the destination of his trip - Sambina Trading Street.

Sambina Trading Street is exactly the famous street in Haiyue City that Irene mentioned a few days ago. The reason why it is famous is that all the things it sells are shipped from other countries through maritime trade, and many of them are

Special products are not available in Golden Bird Empire at all.

Eileen bought a lot of things from Sambina Commercial Street that day, including a few books such as "Palace Painting", "Color", and "Fan Language" written by unknown countries. Don't look at the names.

Xuanhu, in fact, the content is about the makeup skills of noble ladies, recommended colors for clothing matching, etc.

Angel glanced at it for a few times and then put it down, but Irene was very happy to read it. He even followed the records in the book and bought some plaster materials, powdered them and applied them on his face. At a young age, he had already begun to have a passion for beauty.

'Explain yourself.

Inspired by Irene, he went to Trade Street this time just to buy a few books. If there were any suitable books, he also wanted to send them to his tutor to enrich the compilation of historical materials.

As soon as you entered the Sambina Trade Street, you saw a statue of a gentleman in a formal dress in the center of the fountain. The sculpture was of Sambina Principe, an important imperial minister who started maritime trade two hundred years ago. In order to commemorate this nobleman

, this commercial street is also named after him, which shows that later generations respect him.

There are many low but spacious houses on both sides of the street, with rich bricks and tiles. Every store strives to be eye-catching in appearance. The signboards at the store entrance and the promotion methods are also striving to be on point. Angel also saw a store selling desserts.

Yes, a clown from the circus was invited to perform fancy ball-throwing tricks at the door, which caused a lot of noise from the crowd. Some naughty children even dragged their parents and fell to the ground crying bitterly without buying dessert.

The whole street was extremely lively. Although Angel tried his best to maintain his aristocratic qualities, he was still a young man at heart. His eyes were shining brightly, his head turned around, and he was curious about everything he looked at.

In the end, Angel's first purchase was not at his original destination: a bookstore, but... at a milk house with a stuffed cow at the door.

After drinking a large cup full of sweet milk, Angel's smiling eyes narrowed into slits in a deserted place.

However, as soon as he came out of the store, Angel immediately responded calmly. He took a bag of packed sweet milk from the store and pretended to be helpless and said: "Oh, my sister likes milk and sweetness better."

Yes, it’s really troublesome for the store.”

Angel wiped the remaining milk stains from the corner of his mouth and left with satisfaction.

It didn't take long for Angel to find a bookstore with an image of the ancient Sother god of wisdom on the door. After entering, he found that most of the books here were bound pulp and paper volumes, and rare leather volumes were rare.

Angel casually picked up a few books and flipped through them. The shop owner standing not far away originally wanted to scold him, but seeing Angel's dress and appearance, coupled with his detailed etiquette when flipping through the books, the boss had already scolded him.

He slowly swallowed back the curse words that came to his lips. Although he didn't like customers browsing books casually, he wouldn't care if it was a well-behaved aristocratic young master.

The stories are interesting to read, and sometimes you can find some profound meaning in the stories, which is also rewarding.

Angel is not stingy with books, and soon he filled the brown paper bag given by the store.

"Master, I see that you like a wide range of books. I have also collected some miscellaneous volumes. If you are interested, why not stay a little longer?" The store owner was already happy when he saw that Angel bought a big bag.

Huahua, there are not many such big customers, especially now that there are so few people who love books! He also noticed that the types of books Angel bought were very diverse, and he seemed to be willing to buy any type, and his mind immediately became active.

Over the years, he has collected many books from the fleets of various countries. Unfortunately, many of them are too old. Not only are they damaged and missing words, but some are not even compiled in universal texts. After several years, he could not sell them, and in the end he could only keep them in the backlog.

There was no one interested in the warehouse. I finally met a big customer who was not picky. How could he not be moved?

"Do you still have a collection of books?" Angel's eyes lit up, and he accepted the shop owner's suggestion without asking any questions.

When the store owner heard this, he excitedly welcomed Angel to the reception room on the second floor, mixed him with a glass of fruit wine, and hurried to the warehouse.

After a while, the store owner led two waiters and brought up three large wooden boxes that smelled like musty.

Angel frowned at the pungent musty smell. How humid does it have to be in a humid place for this smell to appear?

"Um... no caravans from the Desert Kingdom have come over recently. There is no dry stone powder, and Haiyue City is close to the sea and it is humid. These books have become a little moist after being placed for a long time. But don't worry, I have made inner covers for all the books.

, no matter how wet it is, you can’t get in." The bookstore owner assured, patting his chest.

Angel didn't pay much attention to it. He nodded and gestured to open the box.

Before Angel could take a closer look inside the box, he suddenly heard the deafening sound of a horn sounding over Haiyue City.
