Chapter 642: Chapter 487 Magic Land People’s First Visit to Xinhua Bookstore_2

Hava retracted his gaze, not heading straight upstairs to read but instead began to wander around the first floor.

"What is this?"

On a shelf lay strange medals etched with patterns he’d never seen before.

"It should be the Black Knight, right?"

Hava struggled to recognize the image for quite a while, his expression changing subtly.

The Black Knight had made a considerable reputation for himself in Magic Land, stood toe-to-toe with the Beast King, and had indeed become a force that couldn’t be overlooked within Magic Land.

However, there was something quirky about the Black Knight on the medal; his head was big, his body short, and his figure rather rotund.

Did he look a bit...cute?

Want it!

Hava admitted that the Black Knight was somewhat stronger than he was, but didn’t think the Black Knight could be more powerful than the Lord he served.

Pushing the desire from his mind, Hava lowered his head and noticed a price tag on the medal, marked as 100 Gold Coins, probably the local currency.

"And who is this person?"

After examining several others, Hava walked to the second row of shelves.

The items displayed here were different; they included a very exquisite figurine showcasing the Black Knight, a blond man, and even several Beast Kings from Magic Land.

Among them was none other than Duke Hein of the Northern Land, the very Lord to whom Hava pledged his allegiance.

His Lord possessed formidable strength with the 7th ring, one of the unquestioned mightiest in the Northern Land of Magic Land, leading many warriors of the 6th ring, even up to the 7th ring, and even those who once patrolled in the Divine Realm had served him, known as the King of Kings.

The reason Duke Hein came to know about the Undead stemmed from their unexpected encounter some time ago, although the Undead themselves were not aware that they had come into contact with the mighty Duke Hein.

Now the clothes on the beautiful figurine closely matched those Duke Hein had worn at the time.

"Hisss!"

Hava sucked in a breath of cold air.

To think that in such an out-of-the-way city-state on the Material Plane, someone could have learned through some peculiar means about the goings-on of Magic Land was truly alarming.

It was well-known that the Undead could communicate amongst themselves, but it was not said that they could contact each other directly across different planes.

He finally understood why his Lord held the Undead in such high regard and ordered him to immediately race to the Material Plane in search of the Undead’s whereabouts.

But such a little figurine was utterly disrespectful to Duke Hein, a great being worthy of veneration, worship, and faith – how could it mere be a piece of merchandise blatantly priced on a shelf...

"Why is there no price on this?" Hava asked.

"Ah?" The dozing girl jolted awake, raising her sleeve to wipe the drool at the corner of her mouth.

"I’m asking, why doesn’t this one have a price?"

"Oh, that’s a lottery prize; it’s not for sale. You have to draw for it."

"Lottery prize? What’s that?"

"It’s this; you can draw to win one of the prizes inside. The Northern Lord you’re interested in is the B Prize."

Hava walked over to the wall and examined the so-called "lottery prize," then discovered there were many prizes from the top down.

The most infuriating thing was that the great Northern Lord was ranked only third!

The second line was the Black Knight, labeled as the A Prize, as if the mere Black Knight dared to be compared with Duke Hein? His Grace could crush him to dust with a swing of his trident.

"How is this possible!"

Hava pointed to the S Prize at the top: "How can she be above everyone?"

It was unreasonable not just to be above Duke Hein, but even above the Black Knight.

His finger quivered slightly, a sign of his inner turmoil.

He recognized her, too, the Daughter of the Fallen Country from the Northern Territory, known as the Silver Waterfall Swordswoman Lea, with her beautiful silver hair and strength at the 2nd ring.

Her country had long been destroyed in the wars, and she had become a wandering Swordsman, a Daughter of the Fallen Country without the grand story of a nation’s rebirth. In fact, she didn’t even entertain the idea herself; that woman was quite ostentatious and showy, often labeled as "falsely aloof."

She spent her days with Bards, urging them to spread her tale.

Otherwise, having merely the strength of the 2nd ring, she wouldn’t warrant Hava so much as hearing her name. In Magic Land, throwing a stone into a crowd, you’d hit someone with the 2nd ring strength eight out of ten times.

She was like a colorful bird, constantly flaunting its feathers, utterly useless beyond her perfect facade.

"Uh? Maybe because she’s popular?"

"What?"

"Silver Waterfall Swordswoman Lea, she sells the best." The girl turned around to check and then pulled out a book.

Hava took the "Silver Waterfall Swordswoman Lea" book from her hands and began to flip through it.

What kind of writing style is this?

There were illustrations too!

"It’s a comic!" the girl said, "Adapted from the personal experiences of Silver Waterfall Swordswoman Lea, it’s a bestseller, everyone’s scrambling to buy it."

"Wait, this isn’t her!"

Hava pointed at the content above.

He admitted that the artist’s work was somewhat interesting, hmm... very interesting.

But, with Silver Waterfall Swordswoman Lea’s abilities, she definitely couldn’t perform these battles, like when she accidentally encounters a Fire Dragon after falling off a cliff, and then by using her superb swordsmanship, bursts the Fire Dragon’s eyes.

Impossible!

A 2nd-level power aiming to burst a Fire Dragon’s eyes? Even a 4th-level like him couldn’t do it, let alone get close to a Fire Dragon, which is comparable to deities—being able to breathe normally while close to it was already considered strong.

And the content that followed was also preposterous, the chance meeting between Silver Waterfall Swordswoman Lea and the Black Knight.

With Hava’s understanding of the Black Knight legend, when he met Silver Waterfall Swordswoman Lea, he would only have two choices: either cut her down with one sword or ignore her.

The Black Knight had no possibility of voluntarily interacting with someone of 2nd-level strength.

Not to mention Silver Waterfall Swordswoman Lea being accidentally bound by tentacles during her battle with the Abyss and suspended in midair, and then...

Turning the page, turning the pages, flipping through loudly.

Why are all the images showing Silver Waterfall Swordswoman Lea being bound, and even show her body being made slimy and slippery?

Thankfully, it finally ends.

The Black Knight appears, cuts down the Abyssal tentacles, and rescues Silver Waterfall Swordswoman Lea, and then the two of them join swords to eliminate the Abyssal Calamity.

It’s not just the irrationality of two people of different levels being unable to interact; the fact that the Black Knight’s power is related to the Abyss isn’t some secret.

Are you saying he’s killing his own people?

Even if he wanted to save someone, a simple command could make the tentacles release the person.

"It’s all fabricated!" Hava’s chest heaved violently, he was very angry.

"Is that so?" The girl scratched her head, she hadn’t seen Silver Waterfall Swordswoman Lea, "I think Silver Waterfall Swordswoman Lea is very powerful, plus she’s willing to sacrifice herself to save her friends, which shows the resolve of a Swordsman, not to mention her line..."

The girl then made a gesture and said earnestly, "By taking up the sword, I cannot embrace you; by laying down the sword, I cannot protect you!"

Hava could assure that Silver Waterfall Swordswoman Lea had never said that line, it sounded like it had been plucked from somewhere else.

Forget it, it’s not worth getting angry over this.

But why would the Undead promote false information?

He flipped through the book to the first page and only then saw it was written "Content adapted from real stories, primarily for entertainment."

Adapted? What a fabrication!

Books shouldn’t be written like this; it’s simply irresponsible.

"Do you have any stories of the Northern Land Lord, Duke Hein?"

"No."

The girl shook her head and said, "Our Xinhua Bookstore has fixed delivery times, I’m not sure when new books will come in."

There aren’t any stories about the Northern Lord; Hava expressed no interest in randomly compiled false stories.

"Are there any realistic history books?"

"Those kinds of books aren’t very interesting."

The girl waved her hand dismissively and pointed upstairs: "They’re all up there, go take a look for yourself."

Hava quickly went upstairs.

He discovered that the space here wasn’t very large, just a few rows of bookshelves, and also places for reading.

"Enstad Continent Book Area"

"Serylin Continent Book Area"

"Shilu Continent Book Area"

"Magic Land Book Area"

The four major book areas.

Hava subconsciously walked towards the Magic Land Book Area and found that there were very few books here, aside from "Silver Waterfall Swordswoman Lea" were "Tione’s Hundred Meals" and "Soralis’s Cuteness Daily"

What in the world are these?

"The Legend of Black Knight," "Lionheart King’s Campaign," and so on, these were more like it.

But they were all content he had heard of before, nothing new.

He moved towards the other book areas, the information he wanted to know was right here.

He unconsciously picked up "Giant War," indeed a bit curious about what was written inside.
