Chapter 177 (1/2)

Because tomorrow is the opening day of the sky ball competition, all the work she can do has almost been completed, and the rest is a lot of heavy chores, which has nothing to do with her. In addition, Sylvie has informed her in advance that she will not come to golovito today. Therefore, on the eve of the sky ball competition, the girl has a short holiday.

However, like many people, they always expect to have a rest time when they are busy, but once they really have a rest, they don't know what to do.

Sleep in? Elena has always had a clear schedule, and even if she wanted to sleep in, the habit she developed throughout the year made it impossible for her to fall asleep.

Shopping like a normal girl? Because I had spent a lot of time with Sylvie and saran before, I didn't have any interest in running into the crowd for the time being.

After thinking about it for a long time, the girl finally decided to go to the bookstore to read a day's free knight novel

But not long after she left her room, she met saran on the way.

Walking in the crowd, the blue haired girl seems to have not paid attention to Elena's line of sight, holding a small parasol with lace on the edge, walking aimlessly through the crowd.

I don't know if it is her illusion. Elena always feels that the girl who is always full of vitality when she is with them is a little gloomy and melancholy at this time.

After hesitating for a moment, Elena still called to saran: ”Miss saran!”

Originally, some absent-minded saran's expression on her face was stunned. She raised her head and looked around for a while before she found out that she was not far away from her.

”Oh, good afternoon.” Although saran seemed a little surprised, she still said hello to Elena in a low voice.

”What's on your mind?”

Elena came to saran quietly and naturally, walking side by side with the girl, and asked in a tone of Indifference: ”I don't think you are very interested today.”

”Nothing.” Saran, like a child who was angry, stubbornly refused Elena's temptation and put her face aside: ”I'm not lonely because of uncle's absence.”

”Er...” After being honed by shopping malls, Alina, who has been used to seeing those crafty talents, is tongue tied and doesn't know what to say.

At this time, a remark that SIVI used to say about saran immediately came to her mind.

What a fool.

But it seems a little impolite to think so.

The girl immediately drove the word ”fool” out of her head and tried to find other topics: ”Miss Saran, are you going to stroll around the city?”

”By the way, are you familiar with the city?” As if reminded by Elena, saran stopped and asked.

Although I don't know what saran means, out of the old attitude of serving guests, Elena also stopped and seriously replied, ”it should be quite familiar. After all, I have lived in this city for many years.”

”In that case, do you know where you can make a lot of money in a day?” Hearing the rare silver haired girl in plain clothes say so, saran immediately reaches out to the girl with wide almond eyes and looks at her with water.

Although saran didn't realize it, she had unconsciously activated some special magic abilities possessed by vampires. Of course, for Saran, her ability is relatively weak

”It's not so easy to make money But how much money do you have now

Perhaps because of the effect of enchantment, Eleanor, who should have been confused about it, actually began to seriously consider the issue of ”making a lot of money in a day.”.

Saran rummaged through her pockets and found only cage's legacy and SIVI's pocket money - five silver coins.

”Not much, but enough.” Elina nodded, and while taking saran forward, she introduced to her: ”there are a lot of messy places in the city of golovito, and there are many places to pawn and recycle old items. Although most rare or valuable antiques will definitely be taken away by the owner, but...”

She and saran came to a somewhat shabby house, which was like a garbage heap full of all kinds of things.

However, Alina was dismissive of the antiques that looked old. She just concentrated on digging in the old book. Finally, she gouged out a red cover. On the cover, there were some gilt words that had begun to fade. At the end of the book, illegible fancy characters were written in black paint.

Then she randomly took a few books and clamped the red books.

”How much are these books, boss?” Alina waved her book and called out to the uncle, who was lolling on the counter, with her hair all over the middle of her head turning Mediterranean.

The uncle, who had a pimple on his nose, raised his eyelids and took aim at the dirty looking books in Eleanor's hands. Then he lowered his eyelids and said weakly, ”you can take thirty copper.”Unlike other antiques, unless it's a magic book, it doesn't sell at a very high price, so the shopkeeper is not interested in looking up the books in the hands of young girls.

After paying the money to the shopkeeper, Elena left the pawnbroker with a confused saran and came to an alley with few pedestrians.

”What's the matter? What have you done? ” Saran, who didn't know what was going on from the beginning to the end, asked Elena after she left the pawnbroker.

Elena threw all the broken books except the red books into the garbage can, and then waved the red books to saran: ”this book can be sold for about one to ten gold coins.”

Saran blinked her eyes and looked puzzled: ”can such a broken book be worth so much money?”

”This is a magic book written in secret language. Many great magicians or alchemists don't like to make their own experimental results and magic theories accessible to anyone. So they often encrypt them with some special magic after recording. Although even some appraisers can't distinguish them, as long as they can read them out, their value can be increased hundreds of times at once. ” Elina patiently explained to Saran, ”although the total number of such books is not large, many libraries can sigh with regret over the years in many pawnshops in golovito. If you look carefully, it is possible to find such books. This is what many appraisers call Taobao

”Oh, oh, so it is!” Saran's face immediately became very clear. She patted her flat chest and said confidently, ”you wait for me here!” With that, she trotted with her umbrella and disappeared into the sight of Elena.

Before long, she came back with a pile of books.

”Look how much these books are worth!” Putting the pile of books on the floor, saran couldn't wait to look at Elena.

Elina could only squat down with a wry smile and look through the dusty books that were so old, and acted as a temporary appraiser to help saran identify the value of these books.

Fortunately, there are not many pedestrians in this alley. Otherwise, the appearance of two girls staring at each other with a pile of tattered ancient books will definitely attract a lot of curious eyes.

After a long time, Alina closed her last book. She rubbed her forehead and looked forward to saran with embarrassment.

”Elena, how much can these be worth?”

”Er About fifty coppers. ” After thinking about it for a while, Elena decided to tell the truth.

”How could it be?! I spent five silver coins to buy these books Saran opened her eyes in disbelief and made an incredible sound.

”These books are just ordinary books. There are no magic books, not even books with collection value...”

”Although I don't deny that I may have lost my eyes, I don't think it's easy to make mistakes in this kind of easier identification,” she said

”Oh, how can this be...” Saran was depressed.

This is normal Said Elina to herself.

Just now she wanted to teach saran some tips on how to distinguish a magic book. But before she said anything, the blue haired girl rushed out by herself. If she could find the magic book, it would be unscientific
