Chapter 338: Holy Light Priestess

The bookstore owner did not show any humble or flattering attitude when seeing Wayne enter.

As a mage, even if only a mage apprentice, in terms of social status, he would be treated with courtesy by many nobles, and the vast majority of nobles could not even hire a mage to work for them.

The title of "Mage" was not for nothing.

The old man first looked at Wayne seriously, and then said very politely: "Sir, I don't know you. It seems you are a new customer."

"My name is Mori, you can call me Morrie. Welcome to my bookstore."

Wayne was stunned for a moment upon hearing this. This bookstore was called Kelain Bookstore, but the owner was called Mori, which was really a bit strange.

However, he didn't take these small things to heart. After walking to the counter in a few steps, Wayne lowered his voice and answered quite politely:

"Hello, boss. As far as I know, your bookstore is the largest bookstore in Stormwind City, so I want to come here to buy some books I need. The quantity is relatively large. I don't know if you have stock here."

The old mage frowned slightly and said: "Customer, please don't question the strength of our bookstore. This is a bookstore I inherited from my grandfather. He was a high-level mage who graduated from Dalaran, with a rich collection. Our family has stable import channels in Dalaran."

"As long as the books you need have enough fame and the author is willing to sell them, we can find a way to help you find them."

Wayne laughed secretly in his heart. It seemed that this old man was quite confident in himself. Perhaps Kelain was his grandfather's name.

So, he thought about it, and without caring about the gazes of the few people around, he directly took out a bag of gold coins from his space bracelet, about two hundred Azeroth gold coins, and placed them directly on the table, then said: "Boss, a noble friend of mine wants to build a family library and needs to purchase a large number of books to store in the library."

"This is a deposit. Please help me list a complete book list, preferably including astronomy, geography, history, literature, and various knowledge in all aspects. As long as it is useful knowledge recognized by scholars, it is fine."

"For the specific price, I will discuss it with you again in two days. You need to list a complete book list and the corresponding quotation. The wider the range of books, the better. The price limit is about ten thousand gold coins."

"Of course, for this transaction, you are just one of the suppliers. I have also contacted several other bookstores in the city."

"In the end, who can get this order depends on the book list provided by the price you give, whichever can satisfy me."

The old mage Mori was stunned, and his head couldn't turn around.

An order of about ten thousand gold coins, such a large amount, was the turnover of his bookstore for several years.

Although the purchasing power of gold coins in the Azeroth world was quite good, in this era, gnome inventors had already invented the printing press, and the progress of printing technology made the price of books no longer as unreachable as the hand-copied books of the past.

The price of ordinary books was about twenty silver coins to one gold coin. An order of ten thousand gold coins was enough to buy tens of thousands of books.

The old mage swallowed, and his face changed from the original indifference to slightly flattering, looking at Wayne like a god of wealth.

It was true that mages had money, but to improve their strength, the money mages needed was many times that of other professions. A casual experiment might burn dozens or hundreds of gold coins. Many mage apprentices could not be promoted for a long time, a large part of the reason was because they lacked money.

"Okay, customer, I will try my best to meet your requirements."

"Please rest assured, our Kelain Bookstore is the most powerful bookstore in Stormwind City. In the entire Stormwind Kingdom, I estimate that only we can meet your requirements to the greatest extent."

"By the way, I haven't asked your name yet?" Wayne was accustomed to the change in Morrie's attitude. Since achieving wealth freedom, he had seen too many such situations.

There are thousands of people in the world, and those who can not change because of money are one in ten thousand.

"Call me Wayne, Mr. Mori."

"I rarely come to Stormwind City, and this is my first time buying books here."

"But you should be able to see that I am not the kind of person who haggles over every ounce. As long as your service can satisfy me, we might have the opportunity to continue cooperation in the future."

Hearing this news, the old mage was even more excited. To be honest, compared to other profiteering industries, opening a bookstore was really not particularly profitable. If it weren't for the fact that he was not good at socializing and this was an old shop left by his grandfather, Morrie would not have guarded this shop and engaged in this industry all the time.

"Okay, customer."

"Please rest assured, I, Morrie, am also a straightforward person, and I have many ways in Dalaran, which can help you get secret books that other bookstores absolutely cannot get. Even magic books, I have channels to buy them."

Perhaps because he had never encountered such a big business, Morrie appeared a bit overjoyed, making the other few old customers who bought books in his shop look sideways frequently, seemingly curious about what happened.

And that young lady who was a Holy Light priest possessed physical fitness beyond ordinary people, plus Morrie and Wayne did not hide their speaking voices, the young lady who heard the whole conversation couldn't help but look at Wayne with curiosity.

She was obviously also very surprised, not expecting to meet the legendary big tycoon who spent ten thousand gold coins in a bookstore.

………………

Just after leaving Kelain Bookstore, Wayne was preparing to stroll around Stormwind City to find where he could get a Pet Badge.

As a result, just after walking more than ten meters, a beautiful and pleasant voice suddenly came from behind.

"Sir in front, please wait a moment, okay?"

"I have something I want to talk to you about."

Wayne turned his head upon hearing this and found that the person calling him was the priestess in the bookstore just now.

This was a tall beauty with bright golden hair. She was not very old, about twenty years old. The slightly thin priest's robe worn on her body outlined a soft curve full of feminine charm.

"May I ask what is the matter, Priestess?"

The priestess walked to Wayne, first used a gesture to make a prayer-like action for Holy Light, and then said: "May the Holy Light bless you, sir."

"My name is Paletress, a priest of the Cathedral of Light."

"Just now in the bookstore, I inadvertently heard that you wanted to buy a lot of books."

"So I rashly disturbed you, wanting to discuss something with you."
