When he returned to the city from Canoe Town, it was already eight o 'clock in the evening. Garon went straight home, washed up and went to sleep.
His parents were not at home. They probably went to a work party. His sister Ying Er was sitting on the sofa reading a book. When she saw him coming back, she deliberately raised the book to cover her face.
Garon's arms were dislocated. Although he applied ointment, it still hurt a little. Plus, the strange thing that happened in the castle today made him physically and mentally exhausted. He did not have the energy to pay attention to it.
After resting at home for a week, the swelling of his arms went down. However, he still could not do vigorous exercise, such as martial arts.
Garon could not stay at home anymore. His sister did not talk to him all day long. In this era, there was no computer or television for people to entertain themselves. He simply took some change and went directly to the city's library.
"This is your library card. Please keep it well. The number should not be worn off."
The service lady at the reception desk in the hall handed over a black square card with both hands with a smile.
"Thank you." Garon took the card and looked at the number on it. 233. "Is this number according to the number of people?"
"Yes, sir." The service lady nodded. "For general books, please go to the left. For ancient books and special books, please go to the right. "
"Okay."
Holding the card, Garon went directly to the left passage.
The black passage was a little dark. There were bright yellow wall lamps on both sides of the wall, making the whole passage look dim.
He walked into the passage and saw two young girls walking in front of him. The floor was covered with a thick black carpet. His footsteps could barely be heard.
"There are too few people, mainly because the price is too expensive. Five thousand yuan for a card. Someone must introduce the book and it can only be read for a month. Most of the people who really want to read here are not interested. And those who are interested don't have the time or energy. "
Shaking his head slightly, Garon followed the people in front of him for a while, then turned left and suddenly entered a small narrow room.
The room was illuminated by a faint yellow light. The walls were all covered by bookshelves, and the dense red leather books completely blocked the walls. There were also two single red sofas and a black wooden table full of books in the room.
He stood at the door of the room and looked straight ahead. He could see that there was a door on the opposite wall that led to another similar room. On the other side of that room was another door that connected to a new room.
These rooms were connected in a straight line, door to door, all the way to a very far corner. Visitors can walk in a straight line through all the rooms.
The two girls in front of Garen didn't stop. Instead, they continued to walk forward. They only stopped when they reached the third room.
Garon retracted his gaze and glanced at the books on both sides of the wall. Under the wall lamp, there was a wooden board with different categories. The books in this room were about history.
He continued to walk through the room and into the next one. The second room was geography.
The third room was for dance, drama, and painting. The two girls weren't very pretty, but they were engrossed in reading a book each.
The fourth room was for mathematical chemistry and philosophy.
The fifth room was about marriage, sex, and health. In fact, it was a place where books such as pornography were stored.
The Federation's culture was influenced by the Weisman Empire and was especially open. Although there weren't many of these books, they could still be published publicly.
In this room, a young woman in her thirties sat on the sofa and read with great interest.
In the sixth room, Garon had just walked in when he saw a girl in a white dress and black stockings sitting on the sofa. Her light blonde hair was draped behind her back with a white headband tied in the middle. She looked very ladylike.
"Felicity? You're here today too? "Garon was slightly surprised, then smiled. He walked to the sofa beside the girl and sat down.
"What a coincidence." The girl raised her head, revealing a delicate and pure face.
Her skin was very white, with a slight crystalline feel. Her eyes were big and clear, and her deep blue pupils looked coldly at Garon. She gave off the feeling of a little girl pretending to be cold, completely different from the arrogant young lady at the picnic by the river.
This was the side of her life, the side of gentleness that she showed to her recognized friends.
Felicity sat on the wide and soft sofa, her petite body almost sinking into the sofa, surrounded by red. A large red book was placed on her thighs and skirt, covering most of her upper body. She looked very cute and innocent.
However, Garon also knew that this beautiful girl was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. She wasn't fooled by appearances. After all, it was Felicity who had introduced him to this library. Otherwise, he might not have been able to enter this place. He didn't even know that such a library existed in the city.
After changing into a more comfortable sitting position, Garon picked up a red book on the table and flipped through it casually. It was a book on heraldry. It had a more complete introduction to the heraldry of the Federation and the famous families in the world.
"Although it's the holidays, how do you have time to come to Huaishan again?"
Felicity lowered her head and continued reading. "It's quiet here. It's not like Manroland with a bunch of flies bothering me."
The last time she and Garon met, they talked about the Jewelry of Misfortune. Because Garon had an unusual interest in antiques of misfortune, Felicity, who had always liked mysterious antiques and jewelry, became very interested in the conversation.
Felicity could tell that Garon wasn't the kind of person who would purposely get close to her with ulterior motives, so she let down her guard. When they talked about her favorite topic, mysterious antiques and jewelry, he showed an extremely serious attitude and looked like he was all ears. This made Felicity have a good impression of Garon. The two of them chatted for five or six hours in a small coffee shop before parting reluctantly.
After that, Felicity took the initiative to get Garon access to the library and a library card. The two of them could be considered pure antique and jewelry enthusiasts.
"You're pretty tired, hiding here and there." Garen smiled. "Oh right, didn't you say you found a new good item last time? How's it going? "
Felicity put down her book and frowned slightly. She looked a little troubled.
"It's not easy to get it. The other party isn't willing to sell it. I've raised the price twice, but it's still useless. I can tell that he really doesn't want to sell it. "
"What is it?"
"A lucky ship's bow from the time of the Great Voyage. It's said that it can bring luck to people."
"A mermaid's bust? How much did you pay? "Garon licked his lips and asked.
"A quarter of a million."
"A mermaid's bow … A quarter of a million is indeed a little low."
"But that's the most I can get right now. I can't get more than that. I don't have much pocket money left." Felicity's small face showed a troubled expression.
"Let's not talk about that for now. Oh right, what's the news about the two pieces of jewelry I asked you to check for me last time? "Garon changed the topic.
"That's easy." Felicity paused and tried to recall. "Of the two pieces of jewelry, one is Marceline's Blue Fantasy. It's said that a master jeweler named Marceline once made an antique piece of jewelry for her lover. Not long after she finished making the jewelry, she passed away due to illness. What's strange is that the lover who wore this piece of jewelry was very lucky. He quickly grew from an ordinary person to a new master jeweler and became very rich. And this piece of jewelry was placed in his jewelry store as the highlight of the store. But it was stolen later. After that, a series of imitations appeared. There was no way to find the real thing. "
"This person didn't die?" Garon was stunned.
Felicity rolled her eyes at him. "He's living well. Why would he die?"
She liked the relaxed feeling of chatting with Garon. In front of others, they all valued her beauty, family background, and background.
But in front of Garen, an ordinary boy of the same age, he didn't care about her appearance or background at all. What he valued most was her knowledge, her understanding of antiques and jewelry, especially her knowledge of mysterious jewelry.
"Hehe … my bad." Garon smiled embarrassedly. "What about the other piece?"
Felicity leaned back and grabbed a black string hanging in front of the wall. She tugged on it lightly. "Wait a minute. What do you want?"
"Uh … Guccieri black tea," Garon said casually.
Felicity nodded.
Not long after, a young girl in a black and white maid uniform walked into the room. "What can I get for you two?"
"A cup of Tonino coffee and a cup of Guccieri black tea, both hot," Felicity ordered.
"Understood. Please wait a moment." The young maid bowed and left the room.
Garon snickered. "Didn't you like it cold?"
"What are you laughing at!? Can't I change my tastes once in a while? "Felicity's face turned red, and she was embarrassed." Do you think I'm learning from you? "
"Yes, yes, yes. I know, I know." Garon waved his hands, trying to hold back his laughter. "I know." He couldn't help but burst into laughter again.
"Alright, be serious!" Felicity raised the book and knocked Garon's head. Although it looked heavy, it was very light. "Let's talk about the other piece. It's also this jewelry store's treasure. It's called Avril's Eye. It was inspired by a princess of the Weisman Empire named Avril. It's said that she was born blind, but her eyes were exceptionally beautiful. This piece of jewelry was named after her eyes. It doesn't have a mysterious background, but it's said that this piece of jewelry was once blessed by Weisman III. He hoped that the princess' eyes would always be as beautiful and clear as this piece of jewelry. It's said that after this piece of jewelry was lost among the people, it disappeared for many years. I don't know if it's true. "
"It should be true …" Garon said softly, stroking his chin.
"How do you know?"
"I guessed."
“.....”
Garen smiled, and his expression became serious. "Alright, let's get down to business. Last time, you said that you found out that the Bracelet of Misfortune you bought had a new change? What kind of change? Can you let me see it again? "
Felicity muttered to herself, not saying anything for a while. Just then, a maid came in with black tea and coffee. She placed the coffee and tea in front of the two of them, then left quietly.
Hot steam rose slowly from the brown cup. For a moment, the room was unusually quiet.
After a long while, Felicity slowly opened her mouth. She frowned and rubbed her temples in distress.
"I can't really explain it … Anyway, it's a very strange feeling. Everything has been going wrong recently. My pocket money has been suddenly reduced, and my friends have been fighting with me for no reason. "She paused.
"You know that I don't have many friends, and my social circle is narrow. Ever since I bought the Bracelet of Misfortune, it's been like this. Do you think it's really because of that thing? "
"Where's your Bracelet of Misfortune? Let me see it. "Garon frowned as well.
Felicity's face instantly turned red.
"I don't have it with me … I'll bring it to you next time."
