The latest website: The bleak and cold artistic conception of late autumn is particularly easy to make people feel emotional.

Although the time of contact with each other is not too long, Barrett is still quite sad about Benjamin's final outcome. Before he left, Benjamin and his wife and children were still a harmonious family. Unexpectedly, the family did not die from the brutal invasion of the devil, but fell apart due to other inexplicable small factors, and even lost their lives.

In order to thank the owner of the 'Multiverse' bookstore for the information provided, Barrett decided to buy a few books in this bookstore as reading materials to pass the time in his spare time. He paced back and forth among the bookshelves, picking left and right, and finally bought four books on the recommendation of the bookstore owner.

"Love in the Floating Space", a new one recently released. It mainly tells the story of a cross-species sadomasochism between a human girl and a tauren. The reason why Barrett chose this book that is related to love at first sight is not because his preferences have become somewhat similar to those of adolescent girls, but because the binding style and cover color of this book are different from those of the runaway girl before. The book in my hand is very similar. The other party's previous series of weird behaviors successfully aroused Manzi's curiosity about this book.

"Escape into the Darkness", this is a book with a heavy atmosphere and some anti-traditional types. The background setting is that one day for unknown reasons, the red sun in the sky of the main material world turned into a huge open eye. Where the light (or gaze) from the giant eye shines, all species become twisted, ferocious, indescribable monsters, and even the lifeless undead cannot be spared.

All the creatures living on land and in shallow seas have all fallen, and only in the underground and deep sea areas where light cannot reach, only a small number of creatures survived. Therefore, in this book, the light becomes a dangerous and evil side, while the darkness symbolizes safety and vitality.

The protagonist in the book is a human adventurer. He and his teammates are adventuring in the underground world on the day of the "Extinction Day" when the land civilization completely disappeared. When they completed their mission and were ready to return to the ground, the person at the front of the team who touched the sun turned into a terrifying monster that the protagonist had never seen or heard of.

The monster's ability is very strange. Most of the rest of the people were killed or injured in the battle with their former teammates. Only the protagonist and another teammate managed to escape from the monster's attack. The drow elves "rescued" them. The protagonist stayed in drow's cage for a while, and during this time learned of the great changes that took place above the ground. As time went by, the underground world became more and more dangerous, and more and more twisted monsters poured into the dark region along the various entrances. Those underground species that had been fighting each other all the year round had to join forces to fight against it.

The protagonist participated in several battles to block the underground entrance as cannon fodder, not only survived by luck, but also regained his freedom. Later, he helped the mistress of drow, who was in power in the city where he lived, to eliminate a coup d'état in other families, and had a fiery love affair with this mistress. However, the two separated due to the huge difference in values. The protagonist left the drow city and started a journey of wandering underground.

During his journey, he eliminated the battle between the two Ant-Man tribes, saved some of the remaining dwarves after the fall of Forge Rock City, and by chance, he rescued a juvenile petrified lizard surrounded by fungus bushes, and recovered it as own pets. The protagonist learns of a very hidden and imperceptible narrow underground exit from the mouth of the rescued dwarf. He uses a pocket watch he bought during the trip to estimate the day and night, and ventures to the aboveground world in the middle of the night. After returning to the surface, he found that all the trees, flowers and plants he could see were distorted and deformed, and the ground was covered with a layer of bright red substance that looked like flesh and blood.

The protagonist uses the method of day and night to go to the surface to take risks, trying to find the truth about the strange light. During this period, he saw many kinds of strange and terrifying things like nightmares, and realized that almost every monster had a different shape. He also encountered several fatal crises during his adventure on the surface. He even forgot the time because he was too focused once, and was almost illuminated by the rising light. Fortunately, he managed to jump into the narrow exit at the last moment and escape into the In the dark.

It is worth mentioning that the author of this book is 'anonymous', and it has not yet ended. Except for books that mainly read "detailed descriptions", Barrett seldom read such books without endings. However, this book was highly recommended by the bookstore owner. He didn't want to disappoint the other party's enthusiasm and kindness, so he simply bought it. down.

"Occurred in the Eighth Era", the author of this book is a halfling. The book depicts a main material world ruled by halflings after humans. In such a world, all species coexist peacefully, there is no more war and fighting, and cooking and food are the main theme of this era.

The protagonist of this book is a very young halfling who travels the continent with an ancestral kitchen set. Every time he goes to a place, he will use his cooking skills to compete and communicate with well-known chefs in that place. If he wins the competition (selected by the referee from the local residents), he will get a recipe from the opponent's chef's specialty dishes. If they fail, they will also hand over the method of making an ancestral delicacy, or work for the other party for free for a period of time.

Although there are quite a lot of loopholes in the rules of the competition in the book, as long as those who are willing to make good use of them can make the whole competition look unfair and unreasonable, but the author somewhat flatteringly described the background of the eighth era to make everyone harmonious Friendly, positive, so even if there are many loopholes in the settings, no one will take advantage of these loopholes in the general environment, so there will be no problems.

The descriptions of these cooking competitions are very interesting. For example, creatures of different species naturally have very different preferences for food, and even people in different regions of the same species have very different requirements for food, so the protagonist in the book—that is, the young halfling—will eat food every time he goes to a region. Do some research first to learn more about the tastes and customs of the local residents. Although many jokes were made during the process of understanding, the protagonist still successfully localized and improved the ancestral recipe before competing with that or several well-known chefs.

The author describes food, wine and cultural customs in great detail, so that when readers read this book, they can not only taste one after another strange and attractive food in their brains, but also learn about many species and regions. characteristics in terms of culture and life.

Barrett himself is a senior gourmet lover, and he thinks he has good attainments in outdoor barbecue and other aspects. Moreover, he is also an elite adventurer who often goes around the world to do missions, so for him, this book can not only be used as a reading material to relieve boredom in his spare time, but also provide a lot of help for future adventures.

"Shedding Scales", the background of this book is set in an overhead world that is very different from the history people understand, but it is obviously a reference to the chaotic Dark Age period.

In this fictional world, the legendary mage with a long title has never appeared in the main material world. This has led to the fact that the strength of the mages has not been unimaginably improved, and humans have not become the main material world. A veritable true master. The countries and city-states that existed in the old era fell one after another due to their own, external, or a combination of reasons, and the entire human civilization was on the verge of collapse and disappearance.

Such a background setting is actually not uncommon. During the period of the Dark Era, countless works describing the fall of human civilization and the disappearance of species emerged.

The beginning of some of these books is that civilization has fallen. The protagonist, as a historical witness, records the past of human civilization in the form of memories. The writing is dominated by a depressive and bleak doomsday atmosphere. The Last Goblin".

At the same time, this type of book also has the **** war type. The first part of the book focuses on intrigue, describing how the protagonist cleverly gains power among the surviving humans. The focus of the latter part is on the aspect of war, using heavy pen and ink to portray the protagonist leading the human race, fighting continuously in the main material world. Although there is no extraordinary power like a mage, human beings rely on their own tenacious and unyielding spirit, and use their flesh and soul from generation to generation to finally stand at the apex of all species.

As for Shedding Scales, it's a book that's different from the more popular genres mentioned above. It puts the perspective on the wilderness ethnic group, and humans only briefly appear in the background explanation, and are rarely mentioned afterwards. The protagonist of this book is a shadowclaw hunter in the troglodyte tribe. Since the human beings serving as the background board have settled down on the mainland, those wilderness tribes who fight, cooperate and enslave each other have become the masters of the world. The book outlines the love and hatred among the tribes in the wilderness based on what the protagonist of the war lizard has seen and heard.

Although "Occurring in the Eighth Era" is also based on an alien perspective, that book is more like a relaxed and humorous travelogue, without much thought about civilization itself. And "Shed Scales" focuses on the process of these savage, brutish species, which are not much different from wild beasts, and their own civilization seeds slowly sprout and grow.

The author of "Scales" also wrote on the title page that the inspiration for this book came from a troglodyte friend he knew. Due to the forcible "persuasion" of the mage, his friend of the war lizard has a humble personality and is polite and courteous. He does not seem to be fundamentally different from civilized races such as humans and elves. This makes the author wonder whether all species are destined to shed their barbarism and become members of civilization during the evolution process. Here, "civilization" is not only a noun, but also an adjective.

At the end of the title page, the author also said that he would like to use this book to commemorate the friend who has been missing for a long time.

Barrett left from the bookstore "Multiverse" after paying the money. He also found a restaurant called 'Pure Beef' on the road, and the barbarian who felt a little hungry was reading a newly bought book in the restaurant while slowly filling his stomach. He didn't set off for Countess Teresa's mansion until it was completely dark.

Since our barbarian adventurer has been here once before, he already has a basic understanding of the overall layout of this mansion, UU reading www.uukanshu. com So he sneaked very smoothly this time, and even eavesdropped on the conversation between several guards for a while, and expressed his blessings to the young guard who was about to propose to the maid.

After bypassing a group of guards who were patrolling, dazed, or chatting lazily, Barrett easily arrived at the entrance of Jorill's underground laboratory. He looked around cautiously, then raised his hand and knocked on the door a few times.

After a while, a familiar voice sounded inside, "Who is it?" It seems that this extraordinary pharmacist is still pursuing his dream in the old place.

Barrett cleared his throat and said softly against the door, "Delivery."

After hearing his answer, the person inside the door was silent for a long time, and Barrett also stood there waiting for a long time. Just when he was a little impatient and was already thinking about whether to slash the door open with a sword, the wooden door of the underground laboratory finally opened slowly.

Old Jorill, who met again, looked at the barbarian in front of him with a complicated expression, "Oh, I knew you would come back to me."
