"I must have gone mad. How could I have brought you here to buy fairy tale books?"
Listening to Shaya mutter endlessly behind him, Gu Xi merely smiled and paid it no mind.
After buying that Elder Wand, Gu Xi did not linger any longer at the docks beneath the Sewer. Instead, he followed Shaya through several twists and turns until they arrived at a bookstore deep within an alley.
According to Shaya, this bookstore sold Class Skill books, class manuals, and all sorts of books related to class holders and extraordinary individuals.
If Gu Xi had been looking for Class Skill books, Shaya definitely would not have brought him here.
Those books were quite expensive. Some even cost more than Gu Xi's yet-to-be-built little building.
But since Gu Xi was only looking for fairy tale books, there was no problem.
These fairy tale books were not particularly expensive. After searching through the shelves, Gu Xi found quite a few interesting ones.
For example, Three Little Pigs, Jack and the Beanstalk, Jack the Giant Killer, and the like—these were all Britain's most classic fairy tales.
Yet as Gu Xi flipped through them, he sensed far too much bloodshed, violence, and Abomination within these stories.
They did not seem like books written for children at all. Instead, they felt more like grimoires concealing evil power.
But their attributes said otherwise.
"Three Little Pigs" (Gray): An illustrated fairy tale book. Its depictions are overly bloody, making it unsuitable for children. "Jack and the Beanstalk" (Gray): An illustrated fairy tale book. Its values are rather warped, making it unsuitable for children. ...
If touching these fairy tale books had not automatically generated another Temporary Task, Gu Xi might not have spared them a second glance.
