The three of them had just stepped into Wanwen Collection House and were attracted by the various antique books placed on the ebony bookshelves.
Although not every book in Wanwenjishe's collection is allowed to be read, the years of printing and handwriting of the books on display are astonishing, and the exquisite and expressive drawings even amazed Famas. p>
Because he saw several books that were only circulated in Munata, as well as many story books that were circulated in a small area, describing the rise of the war monarch.
At that time, Famas published these storybooks, which were mainly used for children's enlightenment education.
Famas stared at an illustrated book from Munata. On the light golden spine, the title and author were blurred.
The young man in red stretched out his hand and was just about to take out the book from the bookshelf to see if it was the one he personally supervised and printed. A clear female voice came to his ears: "Please be careful, that book is very dangerous."
Fragile."
Ying and Paimon, who were still looking around, looked at the woman who made the sound at the same time.
The woman who just reminded Famas was wearing a dark blue cheongsam with a white cloud pattern embroidered on her waist. She was standing behind a wooden table set up casually behind the study. Her shoulder-length short hair looked both quiet and intellectual.
"I am Ji Fang, the boss of Wanwenjishe."
With a smile on her face, Ji Fang nodded to the three people who were obviously here to take shelter from the rain: "Just take a look, it doesn't matter if you don't buy it."
"Does Boss Ji Fang recommend any books?"
Paimon regained a little strength, grabbed Famas's hair and asked softly, while Famas's attention was on the books about Munata, and did not pay attention to the movements of little Paimon above his head. p>
"Recommended. If you're a poetry reader, "Tianheng Jue Pou Ji" is selling well, and it's more in line with public tastes."
"For outsiders, why not read "Jueyun Jiwen"? If you are not too brave."
Ji Fang turned around gracefully and took out two books of different colors, one blue and one green, from the bookshelf behind her.
"Hey, only those who are brave can watch "Jueyun Jiwen"?"
Paimon jumped off Famas' head and picked up the books on the table that were about the same size as her head.
"It seems that you are quite brave."
Ji Fang was surprised. Looking at Paimon who did not hesitate to choose the novel about gods and ghosts, she did not expect that this little guy was so big and courageous.
"If you want to read it, just take it away and return it to me when you get tired of it... Anyway, I've seen too many customers who borrow it but never return it."
Sighing softly, Ji Fang opened her black eyes wide and looked at the heavy rain outside Wanwen Collection House.
She was considering whether to close the stall temporarily and put the books on the shelves into the shop. If there was too much humidity in the city, the books would become moldy.
"Ying, just read this book!"
Ying was still looking blankly at the countless old books on the bookstall. Paimon held the novel he just got and ran directly into the arms of the blonde girl.
"Eh?"
The soft impact came, and Ying couldn't stand still, and fell directly towards the railing on the second floor of the study. Fortunately, Famas caught the seemingly stupid Ying in time to prevent her from falling directly from the second floor.
Taking Ying directly into his arms, Famas pointed to a few books from Munata that he had just seen, and asked Ji Fang solemnly: "Were these books acquired?"
Following the direction of Famas's finger, Ji Fang nodded.
"Well, these books were purchased from Qingcezhuang. They tell the story of the rise of the tyrant of Munata. Now there are many scholars in Xumi who use them to study the rise and fall of the ancient Munata country, but they are not very popular.
."
"After all, this kind of book can only show that the tyrant has serious control over the people's thoughts. In addition, the illustrations in it are not bad..."
Ying, who was hugged by the boy in red, looked at him nervously and kept winking at Ji Fang.
Doesn’t the Munata tyrant in Ji Fang’s mouth refer to Famas beside him?
"That is to say...this Chang Jiuye may also have books about Gumunata?"
However, the tyrant I mentioned in Ji Fang's mouth didn't feel anything at all. He just thought secretly in his heart that maybe too much time had passed. Unless he talked about how Morax defeated him, Famas no longer wanted to defend himself in Munata.
Implemented policies.
"Can you please take out these books so I can take a look?"
Ji Fang walked out from the counter, wrapped her fingers with a silk handkerchief, and slowly pulled out the books designated by Famas from the fast-drying ebony bookshelf.
"Not many people are interested in this kind of book now."
"Anyway, I only have these few books here now. If you are interested, you can try your luck at Chang Jiuye's place."
Holding the yellowed paper, the illustrations on it are still lifelike and the handwriting is still fresh, which makes Famas feel like he is in another world.
"Master Chang Jiu?"
Paimon held the book and poked his head in Ying's direction.
"Well, Mr. Chang Jiu lives in Qingce Village and collects all kinds of books. Although he has a bad temper, he is still very talkative when it comes to collecting books."
"He was my regular customer when he was still in Liyue Port. Now I sometimes send him two out-of-print books... But it's hard to find where he lives. You have to first follow the plank road at the back of Qingce Village.
Climb all the way up..."
Before Ji Fang finished speaking, she was interrupted by a young man's crisp voice: "Miss Ji Fang, you just said... out-of-print books?"
The visitor was wearing an indigo brocade spring shirt, with a thin figure, forehead and eyebrow-length hair, a single emerald blue glass bead with dark golden tassels hanging from his right ear, and a faint smile in his sea-blue eyes.
He held a new book under his arm. He bent down and put away a sky-blue oil-paper umbrella in his hand. He held the umbrella with one hand and shook the rain off the fan. With the other hand, he held the book back to his chest with all possible care and turned around to use it again.
Looking at Ji Fang with questioning eyes.
"The out-of-print sixth volume of "Shenxiao Broken Halberd Record" may also be in his collection?"
The young man's eyes glowed with eagerness, and he looked at Famas and Ying with burning eyes. He was about to step forward to talk to the two, but unexpectedly, Paimon stood in front of him with his hands on his hips.
"Who are you?"
The boy in the spring shirt was not annoyed, he cupped his fists and raised his hands: "I'm sorry, I'm Xingqiu, just a book lover who happened to pass by."
"Since you and I are both looking for books, why not go to Qingce Mountain together to visit Master Chang Jiu?"
Xingqiu put his hands behind his back and extended an invitation to the three of them.
To be precise, it should be an invitation to Ying.
"Actually, I didn't want to run so far..."
Seeing Xingqiu's polite appearance, Ying didn't know how to refuse, so she could only say hesitantly.
She still has to go back to the Adventurers Association to deliver the commission.
"Don't say that. This Liyue Port is extremely noisy. Occasionally, I have to go to a quiet place to breathe. The sixth volume of "Shenxiao Broken Halberd Record" has been on my mind for a long time. I think you two also love books.
I have also read some of the story books about Munata."
Xingqiu saw that the blond girl was hesitant, so he changed the target of persuasion to Famas who was standing beside him.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Hearing that Xingqiu seemed to be familiar with the history of Munata, Famas nodded in agreement without hesitation.
"Ying, when the rain stops, you and Paimon will go back to the Adventurers Association first, right?"
