The h, it appeared to be unable to float onto the deck Right next to one of thetreasure Gu Jun eyed the scrolls and books a them and the desire to acquire them rose in his heart
“Hey, dirty-minded Jun…” Wu Siyu called after hi as the speaker is willing to be understood, the listener will naturally understand’, she controlled her intention and asked softly, “Do you think we can knock out this old man and hijack this shi+p as well as its treasures for ourselves?”
“That’s an idea” Gu Jun shook his head with a chuckle, “But I don’t think that’s a good one” The old n whether he had overheard the two’s conspiracy or not However, Gu Jun believed this would not be the old ers from different worlds Gu Jun and Wu Siyu were not his first passengers and e of the seelance at the half open cabin door, h to attempt to rob the captain?
“Haze and the possible consequence crossed her mind, “Fine… caution appears to be a virtue at the o for the spell books” Gu Jun began “That is e need the most now, not just for this mission but for future ones as well Furthermore, it will be instrumental to Phecda’s research into spells” Wu Siyu nodded “Alright then Perhaps I can wheedle a deal out of the old man It is fairly coht? Buying books, gifting food, that sounds logical enough to uarantee that was the case, but he turned to the old man and said, “Old Sir, ould like the spell books, the kind that can help us understand spells, learn spells and provide us with the power to defeat our enee we can understand and… the sacrifice needed to cast the spell be kept to the bare minimum if possible”
“You sure are a fussy buyer but… I do happen to have sorey-bearded man answered swiftly The pair saw the old ht hand and poked into the barrel filled with es were yellowed and there were soe and mysterious patterns on the cover, acco…
“That is written in Oracle Bone Script” Wu Siyu recognized the writing immediately, after all, she was from Shen Hai City’s relic division “Xuan? It seeh Gu Jun did not have that e, he was fanize Bone Oracle Script, he just could not read them ‘Bone Oracle Script, is it? Looks like the tome is written way back in the Early Qin dynasty, at the early formation of our culture’ Gu Jun could not say he was that surprised Humans had interacted with occultis the ancient civilization was not that surprising
“I suppose you can call this… the Seven Cryptical Books of Hsan” The old man continued evenly “Unfortunately this is just a copy, the original consists of seven separate scriptures but their current location is unknown… Fret not because this copy is h to satisfy your earlier requirement, especially at a ti, Seven Cryptical Books of Hsan? The old iven a spell book fron world, then it would be accessible to him only but if it was a spell book researched by their ancestors, then perhaps it would be accessible to Wu Siyu and even the whole Phecda Gu Jun used to think that while huht have dappled in occultism but no civilization had come up with actual spells before but that appeared not to be the case Perhaps it ic appeared to have had with the foreign civilization The reason? Well, it would be a wonder if Gu Jun knew Perhaps it was lost between generations or replaced by technology… Regardless, he knew he needed this spell book
“Is there any spell in this book that we can et ahead of himself
“Any kind of spell book requires time to study and learn” The old ht provide different enlighten on its reader” Wu Siyu’s eyes widened but there was so to take this book, do you have any free gift to go with it?”
This time, the question finally stuift each of you a choice of weapon, a set of clothes, some tools and a set of food Your clothes should not even exist here but the shi+p has casted a protective charm over them, but they will disappear once you disembark from the shi+p”
“Okay…” Wu Siyu turned her eyes to the sky, who knehat had popped into her mind from that statement
“Old sir” Gu Jun had no idea what the captain wanted in return so he planned to tease out his bottom line slowly, “How about we trade with you this medic kit?” Of course, it did not contain the three Carlot instruments
“I have no need for them” The old man rejected without the need to think Gu Jun’s heart sank, the Carlot instruments were very important to him, they could help stabilize his mental state but it appeared like there was no other choice, “How about this dissecting forceps?”
“No, I don’t want that” The old ht about it “I have some diaries, and letters in my mind, would those work?” The old man still responded with a headshake so Gu Jun offered, “There is a presence of dark consciousness within me, how about that?” The old man replied, “No, I have no interest in that at all” Gu Jun was reaching his wit’s end “I have a brain tumor, would you want that?”
“Ah?” It was not until now that Wu Siyu found out about Gu Jun’s fatal illness Her brows rose in surprise “For real?”
“Yes, but it’s stabilized for now” Gu Jun nodded but Wu Siyu still gave a long sigh
“No, ould I want that?” The old man retorted
