The reason for the renovation of the Nolan Post Office was not the city's generous allocation or donations, but the heavy rain and lightning on Monday, which directly caused the ceiling of the building to collapse.
It is not yet known whether this is a structural problem or an accident caused by the weather. But for the sake of safety, a comprehensive overhaul is indispensable, so only the left half of the current post office is in use.
The Prospects of Tropical Disease Medicine that Jenkins wants to buy is a niche publication that is mainly published in the Cheslan Kingdom and some areas outside the sea. In a temperate zone like Nolan, except for some medical schools, you can only find the latest periodicals from the post office. .
Because the usable area of the post office was reduced by half, after Jenkins entered, a staff member of the post office asked him what he wanted to do. When he heard that he did not want to send a letter or something, the young man in uniform relaxed Take a breath:
"Thank you traveler! If you are queuing up to buy stamps and fill out the manifest now, I guess you won't be able to get in line before the post office closes today. Do you want to buy magazines? This way please, the shelves have been moved out of the hall, on the left hand side In a room, you can’t imagine how many times that damn shelf was knocked down yesterday!”
Jenkins usually comes to the post office to buy "Prospects of Tropical Disease Medicine" in a black robe, and out of caution, most of them buy five or six different magazines at a time. That's why he has "Guidelines for Knitting Sweaters (Autumn 763 of the Jinli Yuan Calendar)" and "Guidelines for Raising Cats" at home.
The shelves that were originally displayed in the hall of the post office are now placed in a room on one side of the hall. A man in uniform and reading "The Legend of the Detective Knight" sat at the table by the door, glanced at Jenkins and ignored him.
This is in stark contrast to the busy young people outside who are constantly moving around.
“The latest Nolan Spring Travel Guide…”
He muttered in his mouth and walked into the shelves, looking for his target according to the initial alphabetical order and issue number. Now that his home has accumulated a lot of such useless magazines, Jenkins plans to find time to donate to the church, and the church will give these intact books to children who like to read.
"here!"
He looked at it casually, and seeing that the magazine called "Fidgetley School Directory" was very interesting, he reached out to take it off the shelf.
"Hee hee~"
A pleasant voice appeared in his ears, but when Jenkins kept raising his hand and looked back, he saw nothing. There were also seven or eight scattered people in this room, but none of them were near Jenkins, and none of them could make the sound just now.
"An illusion?"
He turned his head and took down the magazine he was looking at, stood there and opened it, wanting to see Nolan's local education situation, but at this moment he heard that laughter again:
"Hee hee~"
Looking at the back where the sound came out, only the shelf was still standing there quietly. Jenkins let out a deep breath:
"If it's some messy elf this time, I swear I'll fuck her ass."
Thinking this way, he temporarily put the magazine back to its original position, and then looked around with the eyes of reality.
As far as I could see, there were two gifters walking together, probably one street away, but this was not what Jenkins was looking for; some vague aura passed by outside the post office, probably some material containing spirits was being picked up by people. With movement; there is a golden radiance upstairs, which is the holy emblem of the righteous god "The Missing Traveler" hanging in the post office. It is almost the same, and the holy emblem is of course not the target; and then on the bookshelf behind Jenkins, the book lying on the top shelf has a blue aura...
"This is it!"
He walked over quickly, but as soon as his hand touched the book, the light on the book disappeared.
"Let me think about what this is."
As he thought about it, he looked around again, the impurities with uniform blue aura lay on the bookshelf on the other side of the room. But when Jenkins walked by again, the magazine lost its luster.
He kept walking around the various bookshelves, looking for his target, which looked strange in the eyes of others, but no one accused him yet.
This lasted for more than ten minutes, and Jenkins had almost walked around every corner of the room. Seeing the aura on the book disappear from his hand, and then appear in the most remote corner of the room, he looked left and right to see if there was anyone nearby, and immediately disappeared in place.
"[True Phantom]!"
When he was walking around just now, he had already left his own shadow in that deserted corner. After using this shadow to move at this moment, he immediately reached out and grabbed the "Delicious Fish: Lund Island Recipe" on the left front.
With a crackling sound, a layer of ice quickly spread out from his palm and wrapped the entire book. This time, those blue auras did not disappear.
"It really is you, B-05-5-5455 [Book of Heart]!"
This is not the naughty elf Jenkins imagined, but the [Book of Heart], which is rarer than any elf. Thinking that this kind of transcendence would only appear around the followers of sages, Jenkins immediately felt a great sense of satisfaction caused by being recognized.
[Book of Heart] has the characteristic of avoiding living creatures spontaneously, and can be transferred to any book within a 30-foot range, and it takes a certain amount of time to move outside this range. In addition, if a creature with a spirit touches it, it can slow down its transfer speed, and if the book it exists is completely isolated from the air, just like Jenkins does, it can lose its ability to transfer.
The history of [Book of Heart] has a lot of detailed records in the Church of the Sages. This special numbered item originated from the C-class gift of the ancient era [Treasure Book of All Things]. This book is said to record all the knowledge in the world. It has the same specifications as [Epic of Time].
But the book was lost, and no one knew the reason for the loss. There are very few materials showing that at that time, even the sage who mastered the priesthood of [Book] had not yet appeared in history.
Before the gift [Treasure Book of All Things] disappeared, due to various reasons, there were very few remaining pages floating around. One of the pages fell into the Shadow Realm, and was brought to the material world by unknown shadow creatures in the 9th era, which triggered the famous [Black Book Incident]. This event has a strange object number, which spreads like a plague. Any book infected by this event, once read by someone, will turn into a shadow creature.
