Be a legal businessman in Liyue!

Wang Que had excellent eyesight and could even see the title of the book.

Ancient Language Analysis: The Meaning of Characters and Lines

Just by looking at the name, you can tell that this is a book that will make Ying and Paimon faint after reading it.

Xingqiu's voice was quite loud, so naturally the person in charge heard it.

Elhaisen's gaze turned over.

However, there was no trace of anger in his gaze, only a hint of curiosity and nine hundred and ninety-nine strands of calmness.

Feeling a bit rude, Xingqiu stood up and said, "I'm sorry, I haven't found any books in Xumi, so I was a little surprised to see them."

Elhaisen nodded slightly, said nothing, and walked to the other corner.

At this time, the acting store manager said, "That's just how Secretary Elhaisen is. He doesn't like to talk much, so don't mind."

Xingqiu quickly waved his hands away: "I was the one who offended you, why would I mind?"

Wang Que smiled and said, "Smart people don't like to talk to stupid people. It's not arrogance, but a kind of compassion."

When these words came out, the acting store manager and Xingqiu were stunned.

The acting store manager didn't understand whether Wang Que was being sarcastic.

Xingqiu, on the other hand, felt that he was being scolded by Wang Que.

On the other side, Elhaisen showed a somewhat surprised look.

Although Wang Que’s words were not exactly the same as his philosophy, they did express part of his mentality.

He doesn't like to talk, not because he looks down on others, but because he lacks the desire to communicate.

However, he still had no desire to communicate with Wang Que and Xingqiu.

After just a glance, he withdrew his gaze and returned it to the book in his hand.

the other side,

Xingqiu lowered his voice: "Were you scolding me just now?"

Wang Que shook his head: "Of course not, I was just sighing."

He really didn't mean to scold Xingqiu.

Besides, Xingqiu is not a fool by any means.

He is very smart. If he didn't want to be a hero, he could have taken over the responsibility of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce.

"Do you know this person?" Xingqiu's voice lowered a little.

In fact, he didn't need to do that, because Elhaisen couldn't hear normal talking sounds.

Wang Que just saw the other party click on the earphones.

Noise reduction must be on.

He is indeed the person with the lowest desire to communicate in Xumi.

Wang Que nodded: "I've heard a little about him. He's a very powerful person."

Xingqiu looked at Elhaisen again, then said in approval, "Even in the environment of the Xumi Forbidden Book, he can still hold the book and read it. He is really impressive."

Not everyone can go against national policies.

Of course, Elhaisen wasn't actually involved in smuggling physical books.

Some of his books were left by his grandmother, and some were due to his work.

Clerk sounds like a very impressive position, but it only sounds like it.

The reason why this position has such a resounding name is purely due to the custom of naming officials to save face within the academy.

In fact, the clerk neither attends all major meetings nor participates in core decision-making. He is only responsible for archiving and backing up important information.

However, in Xumi, where paper books and written documents were once controlled, the clerk is one of the people who knows the most things in the entire Ministry of Education, and his position is similar to that of the Grand Secretary.

Of course, if you are a member of an academic clique, you will definitely look down on this job.

After all, when you have the void, the knowledge you gain from reading paper books is... insignificant.

But when it came to Elhaisen's hands, it came just in time.

Taking advantage of his work, he often borrows various books.

"How about I ask him to buy some books?" Xingqiu said.

Wang Que's heart moved. He was not sure if he could contact Elhaisen, but if Xingqiu went instead, maybe it would be possible.

Xingqiu is a sincere person and very smart.

These two qualities are acceptable to Elhaisen.

"You can give it a try," Wang Que said. "But if they don't agree, don't force it. We can just buy it from that big merchant when we get to Omos Harbor."

Xingqiu nodded: "Of course, I never force anything."

As he said this, he stood up and walked towards Elhaisen.

After walking closer, he reached out and tapped lightly on the table.

Elhaisen closed the book in his hand and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Hello, I'm a merchant from Liyue. I'd like to purchase some books from Xumi..." Xingqiu had just finished speaking.

Elhaisen said directly, "It's not wise to speak of something forbidden in front of the Secretary of the Court of Religious Affairs. Please leave."

Paper books are restricted by the House of Edicts.

Merchant purchases...it sounds like trouble.

Xingqiu was suddenly embarrassed.

He didn't expect that he would be rejected as soon as he opened his mouth, without even a chance to negotiate.

However, he is not someone who gives up easily.

He turned his gaze and spoke again: "I'm sorry, I'm not very familiar with the rules here, but we can try another way. You should be a person who likes reading, and so do I. Can we have some book exchanges and readings?"

Elhaisen did not directly refuse these.

He glanced at Xingqiu and said, "If you have any valuable books."

He likes reading.

Xingqiu used this topic to open the situation, and it really caught Elhaisen's interest.

"Of course, I have all sorts of Liyue's oddities and oddities, and Mondstadt's as well... If you like, I also have Inazuma's light novels."

Xingqiu said excitedly.

Elhaisen frowned: "Don't you have a more specific introduction? For example..."

He held up the book in his hand and showed the cover to Xingqiu.

Ancient Language Analysis: The Meaning of Characters and Lines

The excitement in Xingqiu's eyes turned into confusion.

What the hell is this?

Obviously, the book he understood was not the same as the book Elhaisen understood.

However, Xingqiu quickly reacted and said, "Please wait."

Then, under Elhaisen's indifferent gaze, he hurried back to Wang Que.

"Wang Que, do you have your books with you? Lend me one first."

Xingqiu keenly felt that the books that Elhaisen liked were probably the kind that Wang Que liked.

A true book... a book of knowledge.

"Which one do you want?" Wang Que naturally would not refuse.

Xingqiu didn't think much about it and said directly, "It's best if it's something that ordinary people can't understand, but will still think is amazing."

Wang Que thought briefly, then took out a notebook and said, "Is this okay?"

"what is this?"

"Some of my lab notes are actually outdated, but for most people, they're probably just incomprehensible and impressive."

"Is it so magical?" Xingqiu hesitated.

Wang Que nodded. "Although it may be a bit boastful, it is indeed true in the field of mechanical and rune construction."

This notebook is a record of Wang Que's research on Fontaine machinery, immortal mechanisms and runes.

The content is probably at Wang Que's level in Fontainebleau.

It's definitely behind now.

But even if it is taken out, not everyone can understand it.

Xingqiu didn't understand, but he knew Wang Que wouldn't speak carelessly.

Picking up the notebook, he walked towards Elhaisen again.

Put the notes in front of the other person.

"Look at this, what do you think?"

Elhaisen did not start reading again, he was paying attention to Xingqiu's actions.

I saw the other person take the notebook from another outsider and heard what that outsider said.

Research notes.

It's quite interesting.

He reached out and took the notebook, flipping through it.

However, he was very disciplined and only read the first three pages.

I didn't read the following content.

But just the content of the first three pages was enough to attract him.

Fontaine's machinery, Liyue's mechanical engineering, and magical runes.

Don't forget that Elhaisen is a scholar of the epistemological school.

Runes are also a type of language and are their research target.

They will regard language and writing as the core and essence of the world.

When the contents of Wang Que's notes appeared in front of Elhaisen, it was like opening up another world for him.

A world belonging to Liyue runes.

Especially when he saw a note on the notebook, Elhaisen became interested in the owner of the notebook.

The essence of runes is a symbol that records mysterious power. It is a description of the laws of the world by intelligent life. Each rune represents a specific concept, element, or existence.

Chapter 327 Business Arrangements

Elhaisen spent a full hour reading the three pages.

He carefully savored every word and every structural diagram above.

It feels like a gourmet meeting real gourmet food.

Fortunately, Xingqiu is a patient person, otherwise he would have become impatient waiting.

However, Xingqiu finally understood what Wang Que meant by his previous words.

Wang Que's notes are indeed magical things, treasures that are difficult for ordinary people to understand.

Because he also took a few glances at it when Elhaisen was flipping through it.

The lines and structure above are completely incomprehensible.

If it wasn't given to him by Wang Que, but he picked it up on the roadside.

Maybe he would think it was just a child's graffiti.
