Professor of Magic

Chapter 146 Lesson 27 Bookstore Trifles
Leizi Chamber of Commerce is worthy of being one of the three major chambers of commerce in the mainland.

Although headquartered in the capital of the Maginot Empire, there is still a large-scale office in Wendno City, the capital of the Kus Empire, one of the three empires.

The 5-storey building occupies an area of ​​nearly half a street, coupled with the wide gate, and the continuous stream of people entering and leaving the gate, all of which show the strong financial resources of the Leizi Chamber of Commerce.

Lin Yuan stared at the signboard of the Leizi Chamber of Commerce at the door for a long time, and then walked in slowly under the different gazes of the people around him.

From the door, it seemed that the office was very large, but when I walked in, I found that the space inside was not very open.

Although the venue on the first floor is all connected, it is actually not small, but because it is separated by various counters, only a passable passage in the middle is left, and the crowds inside make it appear narrow. a lot.

Lin Yuan struggled to squeeze in for a long time, scanning all kinds of counters such as leather monopoly, cloth monopoly, meat monopoly, and even a summary of Maginot specialties, before he saw a counter in a remote corner. A sign representing the letter hangs on the unassuming counter.

Fortunately, the procedures for sending letters were not troublesome, and the girl who served them was sweet and pretty, so Lin Yuan felt that it was not too sad.

When she saw the little girl sorting the letters and was about to turn around and leave, she turned around and saw two acquaintances.

"Red, Xiu Ni, why are you here?"

These two are actually students in Class [-], Grade [-].

Red and Xiu Ni were more surprised than Lin Yuan.

"Mr. Lin, we should ask you this question." Xiu Ni asked. "Red and I are here to send a letter to our family, what are you doing here? Don't tell me you want to send a letter to..." In an instant, he made a look of enlightenment, covered his mouth and laughed.It looks like Lin Yuan's eyes are full of jokes.

"Ms. Lin..." Reid said suddenly. "Actually, the Leizi Chamber of Commerce is responsible for sending letters to Maginot, and they will be sent to the capital of Maginot first, and then distributed to various places. If you want to send a letter to the city of Namis, you might as well hand it over to the Kuror Chamber of Commerce, because The city of Namis is very close to the border of the Kus empire, so it will be faster."

"Oh, that's how it is..." Lin Yuan nodded, suddenly came to his senses, and glared at the two of them. "Okay, you two guys are so courageous that you dare to talk to me."

At this moment, Xiu Ni was already covering her stomach and laughing loudly, and even Red couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Ms. Lin, in fact, if you want to send a letter to Mrs. Katyusha, just say so, it's not a big deal." Even so, Xiu Ni still looked at Lin Yuan and kept laughing. "Don't worry, we won't tell our classmates that you wrote a love letter to Teacher Katyusha when we go back."

"Love letter, you are tall." Lin Yuan blushed. Although the letter was indeed sent to Katyusha, it was not a love letter.

A small part of the above is just some ordinary greetings, and most of the topics are focused on the children Katyusha educated in the city of Namis.

President Smig's reform of the education system is imminent, but Lin Yuan has no idea about it. Through Katyusha's situation, he can somewhat understand how popular basic magic education can be in this world, and for future system reform. It helped a lot in the establishment of the later Junior Magic Academy.

Therefore, this letter is closer to an official document.

Look at the hands of Xiu Ni and Red, Xiu Ni is holding a gaudy envelope, but Red has only a simple piece of paper in his hand.

Lin Yuan couldn't help but smiled, among other things, just through the small details of the family letter, it can be seen that the two people's personalities are different.

"I said, you two, you just sent letters to your family, didn't you think about buying something and sending it back to express your affection?" Lin Yuan asked again.

The two were taken aback, looked at each other, and asked, "Mr. Lin, why did you send something back? And what kind of expression is this?"

Lin Yuan was more dazed than they were: "Is there no such custom on Farinos?"

Xiu Ni and Red Qiqi shook their heads.

Lin Yuan was really dizzy. The Farinos Continent adheres to the supremacy of the strong, but it even omits this aspect. It's really...

"Cough... tell you two, in my hometown..."

"There is a saying called..." Xiu Ni and Red laughed and said.The students have long listened to Lin Yuan's mantra. "Tell me, Teacher Lin, what is it this time?"

Lin Yuan finally couldn't help but knocked on the heads of the two of them: "There is a saying that if you don't fight for three days, you will go to the house to expose the tiles! You two guys, listen carefully! In my hometown, Regarding etiquette, there is a saying that sums it up, that is, sending goose feathers from thousands of miles away is less important than etiquette..."

What she said made Xiu Ni and Red nod repeatedly.

"Mr. Lin, why don't you write something to Teacher Katyusha?" Xiu Ni asked again suddenly.

Lin Yuan chuckled: "The gifts I gave her are all written in the letter."

This is not Lin Yuan's nonsense. In the letter to Katyusha, he not only asked Katyusha about her experiment, but also wrote some of his recent thoughts on education, with many details. He didn't even mention it to President Smig.

I believe that for Katyusha, these things are more precious than any gift.

Xiu Ni let out a long "Oh", with a weird smile on her face.

Lin Yuan could only roll his eyes, there was nothing he could do about this eccentric female student.

After saying hello to the two of them, Lin Yuan turned and left the Leizi Chamber of Commerce.

Walking on the sunny streets of Windno City, Lin Yuan began to plan his next trip in his heart.

Regarding the physical education class, since the project arrangement has already been reported, and the teaching materials have also been printed, so far, it has come to an end.Then, besides continuing to teach the students, the most important thing for him is to start compiling the second theory book of mixed magic according to what President Smig said.

But there is no need to worry about this thing, and President Smig didn't say that he wanted it in a hurry.

Besides, this thing belongs to Lin Yuan's patent, even if he really didn't want to write it, no one dared to question it, let alone he just wanted to take his time.

To put it bluntly, after being busy for a while, Lin Yuan is unwilling to let himself be in this state again.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that there is really nothing serious except for the program that Vice President Capacci told him to prepare for the college festival.

As for the programs, Lin Yuan already has several records, so he just needs to ask the students to pick one and spend some time rehearsing.

While thinking like this, he walked idly, and when he came back to his senses, he found that before he knew it, he had arrived at the famous cultural street in Wendnuo City.

There are not many other things on this street, but there are many bookstores.Lin Yuan used to come here to pass the time when he had nothing to do and wandered around Windno City.

Although the books in this world are different from the original world, some entertainment books are common.

For example, some things that describe how an ordinary boy becomes a great magister or war god through an adventure, and then bring back a beauty, are called "Falinos YY novels" by Lin Yuan, which is similar to Lin Yuan in the original world. Pretty much the same as what you've seen online.

Most of the books that Lin Yuan rented in the small bookstore inside the college came from this street.Sometimes Lin Yuan gets addicted to reading, and if he can't find the next book in the small bookstore, he will come here.

Thinking about it, now that he is free again, he has a lot of time to read books, so Lin Yuan turned and walked into the biggest bookstore on this street.

It was not a weekend at this time, and it was still in the afternoon, so there were not many people in the bookstore, and even the clerks in the store were standing at the counter, looking lazy, as if they were about to faint from the sun of Salas in the early spring up.

Lin Yuan's state of mind is the most peaceful in the recent period, so he is not in a hurry to buy something, but wanders around the store instead.

It was only after wandering around that I discovered that the largest bookstore does not only sell entertainment books.

In other words, entertainment books only account for a small part here.

In addition, there are many other books and publications.

For example, Lin Yuan saw a lot of reference books on magic in a corner, covering the bookshelves on the entire wall, which looked really spectacular.

As for the title of the book, it is even more weird and varied.

For example, "How is magic power made", "Who moved my magic element", "On the self-cultivation of fire magicians", etc...

Lin Yuan casually picked up a copy of "Fire Elementary Magic Experience", which seemed to be the same thing, but after only a few pages, he couldn't help but laugh.

This so-called "Fire Elementary Magic Experience" is just a list and introduction of all the first and second level magic of the fire system, and then some personal spellcasting experience and so on are added later.

Although some experiences are indeed very reasonable, they are undoubtedly too superficial in the eyes of a master-level junior magician like Lin Yuan.

Not to mention some theoretical knowledge taught by Lin Yuan to the students in the third class of the first grade, the book on the elementary magic of the fire department in the library of Fenol College is much more detailed and in-depth than this book.

But after thinking about it, Feynor College can be said to be the highest institution for magic learning and research in the world, and the lectures and collection of books inside are of course more advanced than the street stuff in these ordinary bookstores.

Moreover, the readers of these books are just ordinary people who have some interest in magic. These people don't expect to really learn magic from these books. For them, this is just to satisfy their own curiosity.

From this point of view, Lin Yuan even felt that what was said in this book was too boring and a little advanced.

If he were to edit the same book, he would be sure to write it so that people who had never been exposed to magic could understand and like it.

To put it bluntly, although Li Bai is admired by many people, Bai Juyi is the favorite of the public.

After figuring this out, Lin Yuan stopped looking at these books, because he was sure that the things in them would not be of great help to him.

After continuing to turn around, after passing the place where the books on life were placed, we came to the area of ​​entertainment books.

Although I just said that because it is not a weekend and it is still in the afternoon, there are not many people in the bookstore, but this is still only a relative term.

In the entertainment book area, this population density is much higher.

Lin Yuan glanced over and found that the place was covered in darkness.

They squatted or stood, and some even sat on the ground. Although their postures were different, they had one thing in common, that is, they all held a book in their hands and read it with gusto.Even if Lin Yuan squeezed past, they would at most move their bodies a little to get out of the way, without even looking at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan couldn't help being amused, this is so similar to the situation in the original world bookstore.

After struggling to squeeze to the side of the bookshelf, Lin Yuan took a closer look, and before he saw the sequel to the novel he was reading a while ago, he saw a book that made him laugh and cry.

The Struggle of Hawke-Firnas.

"Is this the so-called celebrity effect?" Lin Yuan took the book down curiously and opened it for a look, only to find that it actually recorded events in the life of the old man Hawke, more like a biography than a book Fiction.

Lin Yuan roughly flipped through it, and found that what was written on it was unavoidably incomplete.

For example, it says that the old man Hawke is magnanimous and treats others with sincerity. There was a conflict between people from Fenol College and people from other colleges, and he was informed. Knowing the whole story, knowing that the opponent's college was at fault, he taught the students of Fenol College first, and finally forgave the fault of the opponent's college. As a result, both parties were happy and finally lived in harmony.

"Pure nonsense!" When Lin Yuan saw this, he just wanted to laugh.

Old man Hawk is tolerant?Based on his temper, for example, if the other party provokes someone from Feynor College first, even if the person from Feynor College made a mistake first, he will clean up the other party first.As for whether he will educate the people of Fenol Academy after returning, it is hard to say.

Let him teach the people of Fenol College in front of people from other colleges?It's impossible to think about it with your toes.

Last time, Carter just brought people into conflict with Lin Yuan and the students. He didn't even ask what was going on, and just taught Carter and his group a lesson, and arrogantly let Garrett run away by himself. come to apologize.In the end, he didn't mention this matter to Lin Yuan at all, let alone blame Lin Yuan.

The old man Hawke and the vice president of Capacci, the two top leaders of Feynor College, are both extremely protective of weaknesses like old hens. Lin Yuan has a deep understanding of this.

Flipping through the book again, Lin Yuan suddenly laughed at himself. This thing is actually no different from those gossip books in the original world such as "The Secret History of XX Singer" and "The Life of XX Celebrities". They all use celebrities. Fame is just for nothing.To care about this kind of thing is purely asking for guilt.

Thinking about it this way, the book suddenly no longer has any appeal.It’s just that when Lin Yuan put it back on the bookshelf, he couldn’t help thinking, if he wrote a book called “The Must-Tell Story Between Two Magisters” based on his familiarity with Old Man Hawke and Sargeras, would it sell well? Very hot?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help laughing.

This smile is really inexplicable, and the few people around who were serious about reading all looked at Lin Yuan, but their eyes seemed to be looking at idiots.

Lin Yuan had no choice but to pretend he didn't see it, and continued to search on the bookshelf, and finally found what he was really looking for, the sequel of the novel.

Although this novel is written about ordinary continental wars, it excels in its exquisite writing, ingenious conception, and hearty plot, making it very fascinating to read.

Coupled with the fact that the author has cleverly incorporated some local customs and customs of various places on the Farinos continent, Lin Yuan can learn more knowledge after reading it, so as soon as he started, he couldn't wait to flip through it.

It's a pity that a bookstore is not a library after all, and it's impossible for these idlers to read it endlessly.

Just as Lin Yuan was engrossed in watching, he heard a soft mosquito-like sound next to him.

"Sir, please step aside."

"Oh..." Lin Yuanzheng saw the critical moment, so he didn't care about it, he just responded casually and moved aside.

Unexpectedly, not long after, this voice sounded again.

"First... sir, please let me go." Lin Yuan moved a few steps away, but suddenly heard a few chuckles.

Now he couldn't help raising his head in wonder, and looked around, only to find that all the people of all kinds who were here just now had all slipped away at some point.

And beside him at this moment, there is only a girl who is just over his shoulder.

The girl was very thin, wearing a slightly bulky bookstore staff uniform, which looked extremely loose.

Of course, this is not the point, the point is that the girl is looking at Lin Yuan with timid eyes, biting her lip as if hesitating.

Lin Yuan caught a glimpse of the cleaning duster in her hand, and immediately understood.

After working on it for a long time, this is driving people to come.

Twice in a row, I just got out of the way a little bit, but I still read the book here without knowing what to do, which made it difficult for this girl.

Lin Yuan couldn't help but smiled awkwardly, closed the book with a snap, and asked the girl, "Where can I pay?"

Of course, this is not the first time Lin Yuan has come to this bookstore, so how could he not know where the cash register is? Just asking this question can relieve the embarrassment of both parties.

Sure enough, the girl froze for a moment, with a more natural expression on her face. She pointed in the direction of the door, then immediately lowered her head and pretended to be cleaning again.

Lin Yuan couldn't help but smile, how could the people in this bookstore let this girl with such a thin skin do this kind of offending work?
After going to the cash register to check out, just as I was about to leave the bookstore and return to the college to slowly enjoy the books, there was a sudden clatter behind me.

Lin Yuan looked back in astonishment, and found a pile of messy books scattered on the ground where he was standing just now.

And beside that, the girl was standing cowering like a frightened bunny, looking at a loss.

Just when she was about to squat down to put the books away again, a man in his thirties suddenly walked over from a distance.

Lin Yuan frowned, knowing that the girl might be in trouble.

Sure enough, the man who seemed to be the manager of the bookstore walked up to the girl and started cursing. After a while, a few tears fell from the girl's drooping cheeks.

Lin Yuan hesitated, but still walked over.

Just now I made this girl difficult, and now I can help her out, it can be regarded as compensation.

Unexpectedly, just as he took two steps, an old man with white hair, but with a red face and a hale and hearty face suddenly turned out from a corner of the bookstore.

As soon as the old man came out, he went towards the man.

Although the few words he said were very soft, and Lin Yuan could not hear clearly because he was far away, but judging from the man's respectful appearance and sweaty expression, I am afraid that this old man is his immediate boss , maybe the owner of this bookstore.

Seeing the old man reprimanded the man, and then everyone dispersed, the girl began to put away the scattered books. Lin Yuan thought that he had nothing to do here, but when he was about to leave, the old man walked straight towards Lin Yuan.

"Hello, are you Teacher Lin Yuanlin from Fenol College?"
