The Doctor In the Steampunk World

Chapter 114: Sorcerer's Codex

Simon was holding Xiao Ruiqi'er and holding a stuffed teddy bear in the other hand. Daim held a wooden knight's sword in one hand, a wooden shield in the other, and a few gadgets hanging on his body, and followed behind Simon.

He looked around, and most of the things sold here were things he didn't need or looked down on.

Until he saw a stall that few people were watching, and the stall was selling old books and newspapers.

Simon walked over curiously.

There was also a young man with thick spectacles and a middle-aged man looking for old books beside the book stand.

Simon also joined in.

Xiao Ruiqi'er stood obediently beside Simon with her teddy bear in her arms. Daim was very active, and she had more beloved toys in her hand, and she couldn't stop for a moment. Imagining yourself as a knight, gesturing a knight's sword in your hand, and entertaining yourself.

There are old books on the bookshelf, such as novels, and some literary works.

Simon chose a few old books according to his own preferences.

what.

When Simon was flipping through the books in the stack, he issued a black book from the bottom. This book was very thick, it had to be ten centimeters thick.

The cover of the book was dark and dirty, and there were moths and bite marks on it. Even the name was not easy to identify.

After wiping the stains on it, I recognized the name.

"One Hundred Years of Strange Stories"

Just seeing the name made Simon interested.

Looking at the pages, the pages turned yellow, and some of the pages were badly eaten by insects.

This book introduces some strange events that have appeared since the birth of magic energy in the form of a collection of short stories. It not only introduces the strange events, but also introduces the monster images that appear in the text at the end of each short film.

He had never read this type of book.

He flipped through several pages in a row, and found that the monster information he had seen before corresponded to the information above, and there was really not much difference.

it is true?

Simon was a little excited. If this book is true, he has found a treasure.

Such a thick book records various anecdotes and events, and there is a lot of information about monsters that Simon has never heard of, which will greatly increase his knowledge.

He flipped through the back of the bookcase and found the production date in the small corner in the lower right corner. It turned out to be a work from the last century.

"How does the boss sell this book?"

"This book is ten dollars." The stall owner was a middle-aged man. He was holding a novel in his hand, and he read it very well. When Simon asked the price, he raised his head and glanced.

"I want this book." Simon readily took out ten dollars.

The stall owner immediately put down the novel and quickly put ten dollars in his pocket, for fear that Simon would go back on it.

"Do you like this kind of book? Do you still want it?"

Simon was taken aback for a moment. He had planned to ask about the origin of the book.

"It's all of this type? Take it out and see."

"Anyway, it's almost the same. My dad used to collect a lot of books, all of which are bizarre. I brought one out today, and the others are at home. If you want, you have to come to my house. "

"Where is your home?"

"Not far, just across the street."

"That's okay, you can go and have a look."

"You must buy it, otherwise it will be a waste of my business time."

"As long as it's this type of book, I'll buy it."

"That's it, Jack, help me take a look at the stall. I'll go home." The middle-aged man was a little excited, as if he had found a big business, and greeted the stall owner next to him.

"Go, go, come back soon."

Just like that, the middle-aged man brought Simon and the three home. His family's economic situation was very average. The house he lived in was not too small or not, with two bedrooms and one living room, and the rooms were quite small.

There are also two boys in the house. When the two little boys saw the toys of Xiao Ruiqier and Daim, their faces were full of envy, and the middle-aged men also wanted them.

"Go and play while you go." The middle-aged man impatiently hurried the two boys into the room.

"It's a mess at home, you sit first and I'll get you something."

The middle-aged man carried a quite large leather suitcase from a small room, and the suitcase was locked.

The middle-aged man had no key, so he had to use an iron rod to knock the lock open.

"Dad, this is Grandpa's treasure. If Grandpa knew that you moved his suitcase, he would definitely hit you when he came back." His eldest son was lying at the door of the room, watching his movements, he couldn't help saying.

"Don't tell me, when I sell the money, you can buy delicious food later."

"That's fine, I promise not to say it." His eldest son's eyes lit up and nodded happily.

There are neat old books in the leather case. These old books are well preserved, and there are no traces of moth eaters.

"Look, what do you want?"

Simon picked up an old book at random.

"Monster File"

This is a book that records monsters, and the production date is also an antique from the last century. He has seen more detailed information on monsters recorded in the new version of "Monster File".

"Theory of Miscellaneous Diseases"

Simon flipped through the contents curiously. It was actually a medical book, which recorded many diseases and treatments.

What's more peculiar is that behind each disease treatment method, there is also a handwritten part.

From the text, it should also be a treatment method, but the method used by Simon has never heard of it.

In addition, there is an old book called "Pharmacopoeia", which records a lot of herbal information. He had seen this book in the University Museum when he was a student at Victoria University, and had seen part of it recently.

The rest are notebooks, wrapped in yellow cloth, apparently carefully preserved.

Looking at these notes, they also recorded various diseases, but they were not ordinary diseases, but were actually caused by magical energy pollution.

What shocked Simon even more was that there were actually recorded treatments behind these diseases.

The method of treatment is similar to the handwritten content in "The Treatise on Miscellaneous Diseases"~lightnovelpub.net~ is a method that Simon has never heard of.

The handwriting should be written by one person.

Simon looked down, his face full of incredulity.

Simon suddenly thought of a different and rare type of doctor he heard from his teacher in college when he was in college.

Magician.

Different from traditional scientific medicine, it is a kind of doctor profession that evolved from the pollution of magical energy.

After the birth of magic energy, the pollution of magic energy is a trouble and disaster that human beings cannot get rid of.

There are some people in the group of doctors who want to treat diseases caused by magical energy pollution. In the process of continuous attempts, two extraordinary professions were born.

One of them is a potionist.

They used magical potions to remove magical energy pollution, and later evolved into a potionist profession that is no longer limited to curing diseases.

And the other is the magician, they use a magical healing method to treat the pollution of magic energy.

It's just that the conditions for becoming a magician are more difficult and harsher than those of a potionist, so that magicians are even rarer than those of a magician.

These notes are actually magician's handwritten notes.

These notes are the treasure of the middle-aged man's father. Could it be that the middle-aged man's father was a magician?

Not right.

If the middle-aged man's father was really a magician, their family wouldn't be so down.

Or it could be said that the ancestor of the middle-aged man was a magician. This is the handed down of the magician.

Regardless of whether this family is related to the magician or not, these magician's Codex should be genuine.
