Magical Device Craftsman Dahlia Won’t Hang Her Head Down Anymore
162. Demonic drawings in bookstores
A little in front of the bookstore, the carriage stopped.
The three-story black brick bookstore has a security guard with a spear and sword to the left and right in front of a two-door.
Sometimes it feels a little too quaint, but books are still expensive in this king's capital.
Printed printing is at best, and the art of mass printing is not yet widespread. For this reason, even thin and small books will need silver coins, and if they are thick books or specialty books, they will be paid in large silver coins or gold coins.
For this reason, there are always more than one escort in a large bookstore.
When I got off the carriage, Wolfe grew up at all times and softly held out his hand.
Darya lays her hands on top of each other like nothing happened.
It was Wolfe who opened his mouth first of both who would absolutely shut up about what had happened earlier.
"... Darya, do you have any books you're looking for?
"It's a book about aristocratic manners and how to write letters. Because those in aristocratic manners had ordered what Mr. Osvaldo recommended. And if there's a demonic atlas of a neighboring country, I'd like to see it."
"Oh, that's what I wanted to see once too"
Darya approaches the counter near the entrance and speaks to the conductor. When I give him the number I was booking, he brings me a bag with a book from the back.
The reservation was paid in advance, so I checked the contents on the spot and was able to receive them immediately.
"Darya, can I take a look at you for a second?
"Yeah, of course. Is there anything on this floor that Wolfe's looking for?
"Me, I've never seen a book slowly in a bookstore..."
Wolfe with fairy crystal glasses laughs like trouble with her green eyes.
He is the one who is often called out to women for his beauty. When I didn't have glasses, I guess I couldn't even take my time looking for books in the bookstore.
"Take your time"
The ground floor is lined with fairy tales, novels, practical books on life, and many others.
When we both put cloth gloves on so we could touch the book, we started walking along the clockwise path.
"Wolf, how have you ever bought a book?
"Ask the bookstore that comes to the squad for your favorite pedigree and bring a few copies, which is the form to buy from it. And then he even asked Dorino and Randolph."
I know you have that choice, but seeing a lot of books in a large bookstore is still fun.
Wolfe stopped on foot after a short walk, unusual and frivolous. I can also see the movement of the child meshing is a little cute.
In the fairy tale corner, the two of us whispered the stories we saw as children, and in the novel corner, we got the stories of adventurers and knights who had just come out.
Wolf had stopped for a long time in the corner of his travel journal and was quite lost and bought a book for the country.
In the subsequent cookbook corner, I found a recipe book from Tono Country (Azuma-noku) and Dalya decided to buy it instantly.
When you buy a book on the ground floor, you go up the stairs and upstairs.
The second floor is mainly lined with academic books, specialty books, etc. Many weapons, weapons, and magic guides related books are also on this floor.
"You don't have the Devil's Sword book..."
"The number of demon swords themselves is low."
What a pity for the disappointed Wolfe.
But the Devil's Sword itself is rarely found. It is impossible to make it into a thick specialty book even with commentary.
Still, he had found specialties on weapons, including the Devil's Sword, and had decided to buy them immediately.
I went up to the third floor with just a little more luggage.
Since the third floor is for expensive dictionaries and drawings only, it is necessary to state the name at the entrance.
In some cases, there is confirmation of belongings, so one person, one man and one woman, held back from the left to the right.
When Wolf removes his fairy crystal glasses, he stands ahead of Dahlia.
A man standing to the right of the door greeted me affectionately, without even checking my name, and was put through inside.
"Wolf, you know..."
Dalya was escorted as it was, but I'm lost in judgment as to whether it's okay as it is.
"I was the one who used to bring books to the squad. Thanks for all your help."
I just met at the entrance a rep who had been coming to sell books to the team a few years after Wolfe joined the Demon Crusade Squad.
Even if Wolfe made vague requests with demonic swords, demons, etc., he introduced me to a book that looked interesting.
Even though Randolph asked me about a book from a neighboring country, he immediately searched for the exact item and brought it to me.
I was familiar with a lot of books in every field and the introduction was accurate.
By the way, his ichiosi was a large thin book, with a picture of plants and demons on the outside and a picture of his sister with more skin tone in its contents.
It was very well received by the young man in the squad as he would cover chest lumbar and preference with just a little talk and recommend an accurate book for each desired crew member.
I remember buying it myself before, but I don't want Darya to know such a story when I'm dead.
"You're familiar with demon swords and monsters."
"... right"
Wolfe answered briefly, speeding his feet toward the glass case in the back.
Inside that glass case are dictionaries and drawings that look thick and heavy.
The pages all show parchment-like thin ivory on dark heavy leather covers, including black, red, dark green, blue, gold and silver.
Some of them were delicate embroideries, gold and silver decorations, and colored stones, what an artistic thing.
There was a demonic atlas of the neighboring country you were looking for, in the middle of the glass case.
Cover decorated in black with gold lettering and gold embroidery, thick as you want. It's like a thick encyclopedia from a previous life.
Wolfe talks to the clerk on the other side of the glass case and actually gets him out.
On a nearby table, gently turning the page with the gloves on, I was surprised by its polite and colorful painting.
Fortunately, it was translated into the language of this country, so Darya could read it without any problems.
Turning a few pages and stopping his hand was' Arlaune ', which has only been confirmed in neighbouring countries.
She looks like a young and beautiful woman with deep green hair, and her half body leads to dark red petals and green leaves, violets.
It is a subspecies of Mandrake and has a description of hallucinogenic effects on the voice.
The remarks section even says' As for the material, the petals will prevent hallucinations', which was very surprising.
Knowledge as a material has already become commonplace in neighbouring countries.
There is also a description of whether the demon is currently reared and farmed, and it is well understood that neighbouring countries are called 'pastoralist countries'.
Unicorn, Demon Sheep (like), King Snake (Kingsnake), Heavenly Wolf (Scoll), Neck Unarmored (Durahan) - even if you turn the other pages, the paintings are all precise, colorful and very interesting in content.
"This one, how much is it?
I was obsessed, and I was drawn back to Wolfe's voice.
"We have seven gold coins"
The forehead answered by the clerk is 700,000 for the feeling of Dahlia, high on boulders.
But this would be a hand-written copy, and since there are hardly any drawings of this fine color illustration, it would be natural. The contents are also very valuable.
Wolfe told the clerk she was worried about whether she could buy it using the development expenses of the Rossetti Chamber of Commerce or whether she should consult Ivano to buy it.
"I was going to use it as a reference when I went on an expedition. Because if you don't know as much as you can about the new demons, you don't know when you're going to meet them. There are examples of demons crossing the border."
Speaking of words unique to the Demon Crusader, he quickly completes the purchase process.
Darya was surprised and convinced.
Sure, the demons have no borders.
Once upon a time, a nine-headed serpent (Hydra), who had caused great damage in a neighbouring country, had crossed the border.
At that time, I hear the Demon Crusade Squad and the Wizard defeated them together, but they also did a lot of damage.
This demonic drawing was also placed in a luxurious box with gold decorations in black, wrapped in a glossy black cloth from above. It's like a treasure. Wolfe held it in one hand.
"Darya, the barracks room isn't very spacious, and I'm often away on expeditions, so can I have this, on the tower?
"Huh? Um, Wolf..."
"I always let the tower interrupt me when I'm off, and Dahlia should be a reference to the material. It sounds interesting to read with you."
My golden eyes rock like I'm lost, just a little bit of a quick mouth.
I smell quite a bit of a planned offense, but honestly, I'm very happy.
I'm looking forward to the demonic drawings, but Wolfe, who comes to read the book, seems to enjoy reading and discussing the book with me.
"Well, let me put it upstairs,"
Clean up the top of the bookshelf on the wall of the room and keep this book safe.
Along with that, I want to have a pair of gloves ready when reading so I don't get the book dirty.
"Thanks"
"No, thank you very much."
The two smiled very similarly, leaving the bookstore behind.
