The bookstore that appeared before Richard looked very dilapidated and outdated, as if it hadn't been repaired for many years—the exterior walls were crumbling, and the door was shaky. Above the door, the words on the sign were also blurred. Richard slowly read the words above:
"Taboo... Bookstore."
Yes, this was a bookstore that sold all kinds of imaginable books, scrolls, treasure maps, personal handbooks, and everything related to text. It was Great Scholar Socrates who had recommended Richard to come here.
