Chapter 161: Ch 161: Fated Encounter
The second book shop that he visited belonged to a large sect that had a hobby of collecting knowledge from all over the world. They actually had book shops in almost all the cities including the smaller ones. Rein had visited their shops before but had not managed to find anything interesting. But this shop was in a large city, so there was a high chance that it might have a few good books.
This place not only sold books but at the same time it also brought unique pieces of knowledge for a very high price. Mostly it was news about some new kind of lifeform or about new ruins which they would then verify and would pay the information giver according to the quality of the information.
Rein had also gotten some good payment from them after telling them about an area filled with demonic energy.
...
After coming out of the shop Rein was a little bit disappointed. His trip here was not completely in vain as he did manage to find an encyclopaedia about the demons which would be very helpful for both him and Colinde. But that was all. Among the thousands of books that this store had only one was able to catch Rein's eyes which was a bit disappointing.
Then he went to check out the third shop. It belonged to a rich merchant who had a hobby of collecting books from various fallen sects and families. But now he had fallen into debt and for that reason he was forced to open this book shop. With him having a collection of many many books, this shop was doing exceptionally well and it became quite famous.
This shop was again a good news for Rein as he managed to find quite a few good books here. They were not very rare or exceptional books but were exactly the books that he was trying to find. There were books about herbs, about great beasts and even about some of the rare skills. There was also a book of legends that was quite interesting to Rein.
From this shop Rein ended up buying a total of 13 books.

Lan brought Rein to a residential district where the houses looked to be very old. It might have been a prosperous area in the past but now many of the buildings were showing the signs of aging. Lan's home was also no different. It was a house on the larger side but many of these parts were dilapidated and weeds were growing in the garden.
It was evident that their financial condition was not in a very good situation.
Lan invited Rein inside and made him to sit on a cushion. Her family were not sure who this handsome little boy was so they took Lan outside to ask her about it. After learning that Rein was a very rich person who was searching for books, all of them became very enthusiastic and welcomed him with open arms.
Lan's family had a total of five members including herself. Her father was working for a shop and her mother was always working in the home. Lan also had two younger twin siblings who had not awakened their skills yet but were soon going too. Their financial situation was not in a good condition and they needed to solve that problem before these kids became a bit older.
With his amazing conversation skills, Rein was able to easily win everyone's heart. Very soon he almost became a member of their family instead of being just a rich person. The two little kids were playing with him and asking him various questions and the mother was doting on him after learning about his circumstances. As for the father he was watching all that from a distance with a happy smile.
They were a good and simple family.
Lan had also become considerably closer to Rein and it was evident from the fact when she sat down beside Rein after bringing the books over. At first she was even hoping to fool Rein to buy these books but now she was really wishing that Rein would find them interesting or she would not be able to sell this book once again.
With Lan urging him, Rein looked at the books. Join the adventure on m,vlemp _y,r.
