The knight did not answer directly and took out a book. The book was turned upside down and tossed hard, the pages making a clattering sound.

"The words printed on paper are dead things without any technology at all. Their value is just to give a moment of joy to an extremely bored mental body. If calculated in terms of reading time, such a book may be worth ten to two pentacles. Ten star coins. You can sell it for thousands or tens of thousands of star coins. It's just a matter of seizing the opportunity and using boring things to create a new thing. Human beings are blindly obedient and hate the old. Wait for this period of novelty to pass. The books will become waste stored in the darkroom again, and you won't lose even if they are discounted by half. Why are you so mercenary?"

Lu Yao heard that the prisoners in the third area have particularly high spiritual values, and some prisoners have stayed in Guandao. More than twenty years.

Compared with young prisoners, they are not only good at mental manipulation, but also good at using words to induce others to achieve their own goals.

Lu Yao felt that their spiritual world was extremely barren and needed new irrigation.

Lu Yao has been carefully preparing for many days and has put a large number of new books on the shelves, including classic literary works "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "War and Peace", "Little Women", "Walden Pond", "The Outsider", fairy tales for adults. "The Little Prince", and a number of books involving history, humanities and philosophy - "Tokyo Dreams", "Psychology and Life", "The Origin of Family, Private Ownership and the State", "Demian's Wandering Youth", "Siddhartha", and even the extremely difficult to read "Thus Spoke Zarathustra", a brand new poetry collection "The Shaking World", and the painting reference book "Berryman Human Structure Painting Tutorial" , the planting reference book "Plant Encyclopedia", and finally a batch of highly imaginative popcorn literature.

What was roughly shaken in the knight's hand was the trial copy of "The Shaking World". Lu Yao stood up on tiptoes and took the book from his hand, unfolded a page and handed it to the knight.

There is a small poem printed on the slightly yellowed page called "Relationship".

[...Love and betrayal have been entangled for a lifetime, and I allowed myself to steal

and escape. When I come back with tears on my face,

I bury my disability, dig it out, and enshrine it in a temple

or in the middle of the road

to be whipped and crushed

... Sometimes I lie on the water and can't hear any sound. Sometimes I open it late at night

. My body is full of sound, but the rain has not come (1)] The shopkeeper waited for the knight to finish reading this little poem, his eyelids drooped slightly, his eyes were closed, his voice was still gentle: "Words can record time, seasons, smell, spirit , thoughts and even civilization can also just express one's feelings and describe a person's despair and struggle. What you think is a moment of joy may be someone else's life. "Perhaps as you said, human beings are blind and forgetful, and the light of books can only be used." If this world flickers for a moment, I will not sell it casually at a low price. "

The shopkeeper randomly pulled out a few books from the bookshelf, put them in the knight's arms, and ended the conversation simply: "Before you teach me, please read two more books."

The knight looked down at the pile of books in his arms: "... "

After standing for a moment, the knight walked into the reading room carrying the books and found a corner to sit down.
