Main Text Volume Chapter 18 Farewell Anecdotes

The two sides were about to fight, but were stopped by the vice president of the Bounty Guild of Haiyue City. Under the persuasion of the vice president, both sides stopped fighting, and a dispute was eliminated without a beginning or an end.

Angel felt it was a pity.

After the Hailan merchant sat down, he said coldly: "I just said that the Glorious Golden Sparrow Knights could not be the perpetrators of the Hailan tragedy, because the Hailan tragedy was not man-made at all!"

After saying this, the Hailan merchant stopped talking.

Not man-made? Could it be done by evil spirits? Although everyone was puzzled, no one lowered their faces to ask him.

Angel was also curious, but when he thought about leaving the Old Earth Continent soon, when he came back from the Fan Continent, maybe the war between the two countries would be over. Angel also stopped exploring, finished the barbecue, and left the guild.

Due to the development of maritime trade, the prosperity of Haiyue City is second only to the capital. In his fourteen years of life, the largest city he has seen is Watford, which is under the jurisdiction of Gru Town. The area of ​​Haiyue City alone is comparable to four Watfords, not to mention other infrastructure.

Angle's eyes were dazzled by what he saw along the way. When he was on the terrace of the hotel, he saw the distant view of half of the city, which was magnificent and prosperous. Now he has a close contact, but he finds that Haiyue City is not only magnificent as a whole, but also delicate and exquisite in details. Compared with Gru Town, which is full of stone houses at a glance, it is more than one level higher.

Angle walked and stopped, observing the joys and sorrows of all living beings, thinking about some fragmentary humanities, and connecting with the novels and famous works told by his past mentors. He gained something by analogy.

Mentor Jon had talked about the principle of unity of knowledge and action. Angell had found it difficult to understand in the past, but when he was out and out of the protection circle of his relatives, he began to combine the details he saw with the principles he thought about in his heart, and he began to understand the principle of unity of knowledge and action.

Angell soon arrived at his destination, Sanbina Trade Street.

Sanbina Trade Street was a famous street in Haiyue City that Irene had mentioned a few days ago. The reason for its fame is that all the things it sells are shipped from other countries through maritime trade, and many special products are not available in the Golden Sparrow Empire.

That day, Irene bought a lot of things from Sanbina Trade Street, including several books such as "Palace Plaster Painting", "Color Tone", and "Fan Language" written by unknown countries. Although the names are absurd, the content is actually the makeup techniques of noble ladies, color recommendations for clothing matching, etc.

Angell glanced at it and put it down, but Irene was very happy to read it, and even followed the records in the book to buy some plaster materials and grind powder for face application. At such a young age, he has already begun to interpret "beauty" himself.

Inspired by Irene, he went to the trade street this time just to buy a few books. If there are suitable ones, he also wants to send them to his mentor to enrich the compilation of historical materials.

As soon as he entered the Sanbina Trade Street, he saw a statue of a gentleman in a formal dress in the middle of the fountain. The sculpture is Sanbina Principe, an important official of the empire who opened up the maritime trade two hundred years ago. In order to commemorate this nobleman, this trade street is also named after him, which shows the respect of later generations for him.

There are mostly low but spacious houses on both sides of the street, with rich brick and tile colors. Every store strives to be eye-catching from the outside. The signs at the door of the store and the way of publicity also strive to stand out. Ingres also saw a dessert shop that invited circus clowns to perform fancy ball throwing at the door, which caused a commotion among the crowd. Some naughty children even pulled their parents and fell to the ground and cried if they didn't buy desserts.

The whole street was very lively. Although Angell tried his best to maintain the quality of an aristocrat, he was still a teenager after all. His eyes were shining, and his head was looking around, curious about everything.

In the end, Angell's first consumption was not at his original destination: the bookstore, but... in a fresh milk shop with a cow puppet at the door.

After drinking a full cup of sweet milk, Angell smiled in a deserted place, his eyes narrowed into slits.

However, as soon as he came out of the store, Angell immediately regained his composure. He took a bag of packaged sweet milk from the store owner and pretended to be helpless and said, "Alas, my sister likes milkier and sweeter ones. I really trouble the store owner."

Angell wiped the milk stains from the corners of his mouth and left with satisfaction.

Not long after, Angell found a bookstore with an image of the ancient god of wisdom, Soser, painted on the door. After entering, he found that most of the books here were bound in pulp paper, and leather scrolls were rare.

Angel casually picked up a few books and flipped through them. The shop owner standing not far away wanted to scold him, but when he saw Angel's appearance and the details of his etiquette when flipping through the books, the owner slowly swallowed back the swear words that were about to come out of his mouth. Although he didn't like customers flipping through books casually, he wouldn't care if he was a well-behaved noble young master.

The story was interesting to read, and sometimes you could see some deep meaning from the story, which was also a gain.

Angel was not stingy with books, and soon filled the brown paper bag sent by the store.

"Young master, I see that you like a wide range of books. I have also collected some miscellaneous volumes. If you are interested, why don't you stay a little longer?" The shop owner saw that Angel bought a large bag at a time, and his heart was already blooming. There are not many such big customers, especially now that there are too few people who love books! He also noticed that the types of books Angel bought were very diverse, and it seemed that he was willing to buy all types, and his mind immediately became active.

He has collected many books from fleets of various countries over the years, but unfortunately many of them are too old, not only damaged and missing words, but also not compiled in common language. They have been unsold for years and finally have to be piled up in the warehouse without anyone's interest. It's not easy to meet a big customer who is not picky, how can he not be tempted.

"There are still books?" Angel's eyes lit up, and he accepted the store owner's proposal without asking about the background.

When the store owner heard this, he immediately excitedly welcomed Angel to the reception room on the second floor, mixed a glass of fruit wine, and hurried to the warehouse.

After a while, the store owner led two assistants and moved three large wooden boxes with a musty smell.

The pungent musty smell made Angel frown. How humid a place would it be to have this smell?

"Well... recently, the caravans from the Samo Kingdom haven't come here. There's no dry stone powder. Haiyue City is near the sea and it's humid. These books have become a little damp after being placed for a short time. But don't worry, I have sealed all the books inside, so no matter how humid it is, it can't get in." The bookstore owner patted his chest and assured.

Angel didn't pay much attention, nodded and indicated to open the box.

Before Angel could take a closer look at the inside of the box, he suddenly heard a deafening horn sounding in the sky above Haiyue City.
