Chapter 230: Great Witch Lamia
After some time, Leon received the book he needed in a room used for resting inside the Mining Fortress.
“Mr. Fenrir, this is the book you wanted.” The subordinate responsible for running errands respectfully handed a book to Leon.
“《Forbidden Relations》, a new work by the author of 《Memoirs of the Pleasure Quarters》.” Leon glanced at the title and author’s name.
Naturally, there was no need for Leon to personally run errands just to purchase something. It was enough to leave it to his subordinates.
“This book was banned not long after it was released this year, so it took a little time to find. Actually, half the books on your list were banned soon after publication and can’t be bought in bookstores.” the subordinate answered.
“I’m impressed you managed to find it.” Leon said.
“Things like this are still very easy to find on the Black Market. Because there’s a high chance they’ll be banned, people often stockpile large quantities right after release, then drive up the price on the Black Market after they’re prohibited. I asked around all the way to an Old Junk Shop in the outskirts of the city that fences stolen goods for thieves, and got this book from there.” the subordinate reported.
“Sounds like it cost quite a bit?” Leon indicated that the subordinate could reimburse the expense directly through him.
“It didn’t cost anything, Mr. Fenrir. The people in that shop didn’t know me and thought I was easy to bully. At first they quoted me three Thaler, and I paid it. Then he suddenly tried to cheat me and claimed he hadn’t received my money, demanding that I pay again, so I taught him a little lesson……please don’t worry, I knew how far to go. I got the book, and I got the money back too.” the subordinate answered.
