Chapter 173
According to the address given by Carter, Cheng Yu and Mina came to No. 79 Yangliu Street in Pease Harbor.
This is a large bookstore.
At the entrance of the bookstore, the best-selling books are placed prominently, including the book "Dragon Quest: Stories under Mount Zhongnan" written by Aphra.
Walking into the bookstore, the bookstore owner is a middle-aged man in his fifties or sixties.
"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?" The bookstore owner asked politely.
Cheng Yu took a copy of "Dragon Quest: Stories under Mount Zhongnan" from the bookshelf at the door, "I want to ask, where did you get this book from?"
"I'm afraid it's inconvenient."
The bookstore owner rejected Cheng Yu's request, and he had no obligation to inform customers of the origin of the books.
If every customer asked him about the origin of the book, he would be very busy.
Cheng Yu took out ten silver coins and put them on the table, "Help me check it."
"Hiss~ It's quite convenient to look at it this way."
The bookstore owner smiled and took the ten silver coins, "Please wait, I'll check it."
As he said, he took out an account book from under the counter and carefully checked the recent purchase records.
He checked for more than ten minutes.
"I found it. This book was purchased from the Ocean Bookstore half a month ago."
"Where is the Ocean Bookstore?"
"The Ocean Bookstore is headquartered in Green City."
There are many cities in the Black Sun Empire. Cheng Yu didn't know where Green City was. He asked the bookstore owner, "Do you have a map of the Black Sun Empire here?"
"Yes, of course."
"Sell me one."
"Two hundred and ninety copper coins."
Cheng Yu took out three silver coins and gave them to the bookstore owner. The bookstore owner gave Cheng Yu ten copper coins in change.
Then he went to the warehouse to take out a map of the Black Sun Empire.
Unfolding the map, Cheng Yu looked at it for a while and found the location of Green City.
Green City is located hundreds of kilometers south of Snow City.
Aphra got lost and ran so far, which is amazing.
Cheng Yu estimated the distance. The distance from Pease Harbor to Green City is about the same as the distance from Pease Harbor to Bailu Town, both of which are tens of thousands of kilometers apart.
It will take Mavil a day and a night to fly there.
After putting away the map, Cheng Yu and Mina returned to the manor.
A black dragon was lying in the yard in front of the manor, with blue eyes half open and half closed, enjoying the warm sunshine.
If you want to go to Green City to find Aphra, you have to rely on Mavil.
Cheng Yu walked up to Mavil, looked at Mavil's hard black steel front paws, and reached out to touch the nails of Mavil's paws.
"Why are you touching me? Human."
Mavil glanced at Cheng Yu with her blue eyes.
"There is something I need your help with." Cheng Yu smiled.
"What's the matter?"
"Take me to Green City tomorrow."
Mei Weier looked speechless. She was a proud dragon, and Cheng Yu used her as a means of transportation.
"Where is Green City? Is it far?"
"It's about the same distance as Bailu Town."
"Too far, I won't go."
It's better to lie in the yard and bask in the sun than to go to Green City, which is so far away.
"I was originally planning to make steamed pork with rice flour and sweet and sour pork ribs tonight. Since a certain dragon doesn't want to go, I won't do it." Cheng Yu said to himself.
It seemed as if two little dragons were arguing in Mei Weier's ears.
The little dragon on the left: "Meiweier, calm down, don't be fooled by him, you are a proud dragon, you can't become a human mount."
The little dragon on the right: "Meiweier, think about the delicious steamed pork with rice flour, it is soft and tasty in your mouth, and the sweet and sour spare ribs are sour and sweet, and have an endless aftertaste."
Meiweier didn't want to fly so far, but she wanted to eat steamed pork with rice flour and sweet and sour spare ribs, so it was difficult to choose.
Just when Meiweier was struggling, Cheng Yu said again: "By the way, I'm also going to stew shark fin Buddha jump over the wall. Since you don't want to go, I won't stew it."
Shark fin Buddha jump over the wall!!!
Meiweier has eaten shark fin Buddha jump over the wall, which is super delicious.
The huge dragon body quickly shrank and turned into a girl wearing a black dress with dragon scales, with long silver hair scattered behind her, and a pair of curved black dragon horns on her head. She stretched out two fingers to Cheng Yu, "Two servings of shark fin Buddha jump over the wall."
"No problem."
Cheng Yu smiled and touched Meiweier's head.
Only delicious food can cure this arrogant dragon.
Meiweier is used to being touched on the head by Cheng Yu frequently, and she didn't say anything.
Mina saw Cheng Yu touching Meiweier's head, and took the initiative to come over, hugged Cheng Yu's waist with both arms, and rubbed her animal ears against Cheng Yu's chin, the fur was soft and itchy.
A girl with animal ears and a dragon girl, it's really nice to play with.
...
In the morning, Meiweier got up early, turned into a giant dragon, and took Cheng Yu through the clouds and flew up to a height of 10,000 meters.
Cheng Yu stood on Meiweier's head, the strong wind blew towards him, and he held Meiweier's dragon horns with both hands, feeling like a dragon knight."Human, what are we going to do in Green City?" Meiweier asked.
"Bring back Aphra."
Meiweier knew Aphra. When she was in Bailu Town Manor, she lived under the same roof with Aphra, but she rarely saw Aphra.
Green City is located in the north of the Black Sun Empire, and it is impossible to determine which city it is from the air.
After Cheng Yu and Meiweier arrived at the approximate location, they landed on the ground and asked someone about the location of Green City.
After asking along the way, it took the two three days to find Green City.
Like other main cities in the Black Sun Empire, Green City is surrounded by tall walls.
Many vendors and farmers drove carriages into the city, and some adventurers and street performers stood at the city gate.
Entering Green City.
Cheng Yu asked the guard at the city gate, "Brother, do you know where the Ocean Bookstore is?"
"Go along the main road and turn right at the third intersection to see it." The guard replied.
"Okay, thank you."
Cheng Yu followed the guard's instructions and walked along the main road, turning right at the third intersection.
In the middle of this street stands a three-story luxurious building with the words "Ocean Bookstore" written on the sign.
Cheng Yu walked to the door of the Ocean Bookstore and asked the guard at the door, "Hello, I want to ask how to get to the editorial department of your Ocean Bookstore?"
Writers who want to publish and print books all contact editors.
"Are you a writer who comes to submit a manuscript?" the guard asked.
"Ah, yes, I am a writer who comes to submit a manuscript."
"Go in directly and find the front desk staff to submit your manuscript."
"Okay."
Cheng Yu took Mei Weier into the Ocean Bookstore. There were many books on the walls of the spacious hall, and the air was mixed with the smell of ink.
The hall was full of people, all of whom were writers who came to submit their manuscripts to the bookstore.
Cheng Yu came to the front desk and asked the staff, "Miss, I want to ask, where is your bookstore editor?"
"If you want to submit an article, just give it to me directly, and I will pass it to the editor." The staff said.
"No, I'm looking for someone. I want to find the author named Xiao Fu."
Cheng Yu took out the novel written by Afra from the system warehouse.
"Are you looking for the author of the novel?"
It was the first time that the staff met someone looking for the author of the novel. "The editors are on the second floor. You can go there and ask."
"Okay."
Cheng Yu went to the second floor of Dayang Bookstore along the spiral escalator.
