Bella's heart skipped a beat.
She felt as if she had finally caught a glimpse of the truth behind the hazy appearance of this mysterious bookstore owner.
If it goes back to the first era, then Mr. Lin could not be a human in the first place, because human beings did not exist on a large scale at that time, and even existence was a problem.
Secondly, it cannot be an elves, because elves were born from the corpses of giants, and it was only after the giants declined due to large-scale wars that they gradually mastered their power and established the kingdom of elves, which slowly and completely replaced the existence of giants.
In that fragmented old history, the most famous beings with absolute power recorded were the four primordial witches, but these were never seen as females, so they could basically be ruled out.
Secondly, there are several famous dragons in the ancient dragon group, such as Bakak, the dragon of calamity, which symbolizes destruction, Felix, the dragon that symbolizes the source of wisdom, and Spurin, the dragon of the sky, which symbolizes the ether.
However, the dragon of the sky can also be directly ruled out.
Because the fossil heart they brought came from the Dragon of the Sky, which directly proved that Spurin had already died in the first era.
As a dragon born directly from the ether, all parts of its body are very precious and powerful casting materials, and the heart is the core of its storage and transformation of ether, its preciousness is self-evident.
Even if the power of ether contained in it does nothing, just spend a little ether to detonate it, and it can directly kill a destruction level.
But thinking about it, most people would not be so ruthless. If this heart is used to make the core of a large magic circle, or an extraordinary item such as a staff, it can definitely increase its strength greatly.
In addition, there are some extremely ancient elemental creatures in the first era, such as Alfred, a scholar of light elements...
Bella counted the first era greats she knew in her heart, but limited by what she had learned, she felt that what she knew was not comprehensive enough.
The head maid looked at her master and secretly decided to investigate the history of the first era.
It doesn't matter if you know Boss Lin's true identity, the important thing is that if he really is such a long-lived species, it would be impossible to accept Qili, because this is not just a matter of race, but a fundamental difference in the level of life. .
Just like it is impossible for humans to fall in love with ants, this is a doomed unrequited love.
"As the master's best assistant, you should be responsible for letting the master understand this in a timely manner, so as to minimize the possible adverse consequences."
Bella thought so.
According to the current indications, there is a high probability that Boss Lin himself is an ancient dragon, and from the analysis of his character and behavior, it is unlikely that it is Bakak, the dragon of calamity that symbolizes destruction.
Open a bookstore, good at guiding people, full of wisdom, omnipotent and omnipotent... Felix, the dragon of the fountain, symbolizes wisdom, and in legends, he holds all the knowledge in the world, which almost coincides with the characteristics of the bookstore owner.
However, according to Bella's knowledge, the Dragon of the Fountain is only at the Destruction level, and Mr. Lin's strength so far has far surpassed the God level, which remains to be seen.
After Lin Jie was habitually polite with Qili for a few words, he suddenly felt inexplicably that this maid, who had only met twice and had chatted for a few words, looked at her strangely.
Those eyes with a hint of scrutiny and observation in secret, as if looking at some suspicious person.
On the other hand, when she looked at Qili, she pursed her lips slightly, looking very unbearable.
This Bolling is familiar, isn't this a typical eight o'clock bubble drama "Miss rich and wealthy fancy a poor boy who runs a bookstore, and a maid is ready to fight the mandarin duck to protect the door."
Lin Jie raised his eyebrows, although it wasn't really that exaggerated, but Qili paid such a huge price to give fossils as gifts, it is estimated that there will be people who are dissatisfied.
If Bella planned to prevent Qili from contacting him, after all, it was out of consideration for Qili, and it was understandable.
I don't know if there will be a plot of shaking his face with a stack of banknotes... Ahem, he didn't expect such a scene at all, his friendship with Qili cannot be bought with money!
Well, the Dome Church has been using brutal methods to deal with the heretics who are enemies of itself for many years, and there must be a lot of money from the search... Killing people and raiding their homes, this is all matching.
Even if not, with so many believers in the Dome Church, the money for buying indulgences is a huge amount of money every year. They open churches all over the place, and the food and clothing expenses of the Pope, saintess, and apostles are not money.
If the Dome Church can be successfully overturned this time and Vincent is in the position, with the kind and honest character of the priest, the money will definitely be used first to repair charitable facilities in various places and relieve the poor, but these things are obviously Inexhaustible.
So the rest of the stolen money…
Just donate to the Ash Tree Chamber of Commerce.
I believe that Qili will use it on the right path, and it can be regarded as a courtesy.
Lin Jie thought so, his waist straightened a lot, his eyes just met Bella's, and he showed a clear kind smile.
Bella seemed startled and her eyes flickered. Has Mr. Lin noticed my inner thoughts
Did he mean to smile at me, did he admit it... He really is a dragon!
Lin Jie has withdrawn his gaze, moved the fossil box to the side, and smiled at Qili: "Didn't you say that you are here because there is a book that you can't understand and want to ask me for advice?"
The blush on Qili's face faded a little, she adjusted her expression, nodded and said sternly: "That book is hidden in Congreve's secret room, and it is well protected."
She turned her head and gestured to Bella, who took the book out of her skirt.
under skirt
A small question mark appeared in Lin Jie's heart, and then he thought about it, this kind of maid skirt should have many pockets, just a book, um, not unusual.
He took the book and narrowed his eyes slightly. There was no text on the cover of this book. The light brown cover had a very strange texture, like leather, but it was more delicate and soft than ordinary leather, with some shallow textures. The texture, when the fingers are rubbed, there is a vague illusion of touching the skin...
No, maybe not an illusion.
Lin Jie stared at the book in his hand, and a very firm idea popped up in his heart.
Human book.
This is a book made of whole skinned human skin.
Lin Jie can be so sure, of course, not groundless, but because he has seen similar things before.
When he was conducting a folk survey in the past, he also encountered a village with very strange customs. The village in the deep mountains and old forests would take a piece of skin from the back of the dead and make a human skin drum.
Whenever a sacrificial ceremony is held in the village, every household will take out a human skin drum and beat it, symbolizing the summoning of spirits and accepting the worship of the villagers.
This example was also mentioned in the book "Ritual and Folklore" he gave to Lao Wang.
At that time, out of research purpose and curiosity in his heart, he tried to propose to the villagers to observe the man's skin drum, and the villagers agreed enthusiastically.
The touch at that time was exactly the same as the cover of the book in his hand now...
