Yes, Lin Jie is a transmigrator.
From the earth, travel to this vast country called Azir.
In a horizontal comparison, he is only one of the thousands of people who have crossed the tide.
But in a sense, he was different.
Because his transmigration is active to a certain extent.
It all starts from Teacher Lin's hobby.
As we all know, modern young people always have some strange problems.
such as obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Such as intensive phobia.
Another example is the reading fetish that even has to read the ingredients list of the body wash.
And Lin Jie is an avid book collector.
His greatest wish in this life is to own all the published books in the world. Regardless of whether he can read them or not, just imagining the feeling of opening his arms and looking at the vast sea of books that are neatly arranged will make him wet...
eye socket.
Of course, such a great cause cannot be achieved by individual efforts alone.
In the first half of a certain year in Huaxia alone, there were 90,000 new book varieties, and the median price was 45 yuan. It cost 4 million to buy all of them.
It's hard to imagine the money needed to buy all the books in the world.
The value of books is far higher than people think.
This is just a monetary barrier. Others, such as some out-of-print books, or books that are banned for sale, require a lot of time to find and collect.
For Lin Jie, this is just a dream that he can't fulfill in his life but yearns for.
until one day.
He stumbled upon a shortcut—a ritual that would grant all wishes at a price.
Feeling that it could not be true anyway, he took the mentality of trying it out, completed the ceremony meticulously, and made a wish to own books from all over the world.
At that time, he vaguely heard a soft whisper in his ear.
But when he tried to communicate, he felt like he was talking about chickens and ducks, and he didn't know what was going on. He came to another world in the blink of an eye, and in front of him was this abandoned bookstore.
Following his intuition, he knew that as long as he thought about it now, the huge library of his dreams would come to this bookstore.
But at the same time, he never had the chance to return to Earth.
What else is there to choose, Lin Jie, who was alone, pushed open the door of the bookstore without hesitation.
It has been three years since then.
Lin Jie is also used to living in Nuojin.
—Actually, it’s not a habit, because the level of technology in this world is roughly similar to that of the Earth in the 1980s and 1990s, and even the characters are similar. For historical reasons, the square characters and English are common, so Lin Jie doesn’t have much obstacle.
However, the strange names and hair colors are still the majority here. It is rumored that there are other existences such as "inner world" and "superpower".
However, Lin Jie has not seen it yet.
He still doesn't understand, what is the price
But it doesn't matter. He is very satisfied with his current life. The bookshelf is refreshed randomly every day, and it can also be refreshed or retrieved manually. There are books that can't be read, and guests can adjust... No, chicken soup.
"I recently encountered some research bottlenecks."
A hoarse voice in a troubled tone came from behind Wilde's mask: "Thanks to the "Devil's Words" you lent me two years ago, I got a new direction, but need more clues about similar language literature ."
Lin Jie's thoughts of letting go were interrupted, and he walked to the counter, opened the register and wrote "returned".
I thought to myself that this old man actually called this book the Devil's Word in a serious way, which is really a kind of scholarly cold humor.
"So you want to borrow the same type of book this time?"
Lin Jie raised his head and tapped the table with a pen.
Wilde pondered: "Last time the book was too difficult, and it seemed to belong to a small part of a larger whole, is there anything that is more simple... Preferably it is about a pan-cultural background, and many of the languages in it seem to be related to cultural customs. The connection is deep, and I need to better understand the implications."
After two years, he finally found the research clues of the forbidden spell from the knowledge left over from that book.
This means that the opportunity for him to be one step closer to the god level is in sight!
Wizards use the power of words and words, black wizards use words, and white wizards use words.
The former chanted mantras, while the latter wrote runes.
As a top dark wizard, Wilde has mastered almost all the basic spells that can be learned. What he needs now is the self-digging and self-breakthrough of the introverted soul.
That is, to find the voice of one's own soul.
The great work of the dark wizard is to create his own language!
This is the road to the divine level.
"Is that so... Let me see, please wait a moment."
Lin Jie nodded, thought for a while, then turned around and rummaged through the bookshelf.
Pharaoh's request is also well understood.
Although the language is roughly the same, it is still two worlds after all, and the differences in cultural customs will lead to a large gap in understanding.
And if you want to fully understand Chinese culture, it is too difficult, so you can only find some books with a wider range of research for him.
Lin Jie ran his fingers along the spine of the bookshelf and suddenly stopped.
When Lin Jie was looking for a book, Wilde looked at the dark and heavy rain outside, and fell into memories while waiting.
Two years ago, after losing the battle with Joseph, he fled in embarrassment. It was when he was most confused about the road, but he got Lin Jie's guidance in this bookstore.
To this day, when he thinks of the demonic language, the breath-taking mystery and power contained in that book, he still feels his heart beat faster and his body trembles.
It's like first love!
Reminds him of his first exposure to the power of wizards when he was an apprentice.
The old teacher said to the beautiful bird in a flat tone - "die".
So the creature died.
How great! What a shock!
Let him re-establish his goals and beliefs, and recall his original intentions.
Compared with the arrogant self a few years ago, the current him is a world of difference.
And all this is due to the selfless and generous, omniscient and knowledgeable bookstore owner in front of him.
Although Wilde did not ask about Lin Jie's past and identity, he already had the answer in his heart.
He must be a hermit scholar of the Truth Society!
He even suspected that this was the legendary god-level sage who held the key to the Temple of Truth... But because he couldn't feel the fluctuation of ether from the other side, it was just a guess.
Wilde looked at the young man who took down a book in front of the bookshelf, and temporarily concealed his inner ups and downs: "Have you found it?"
Lin Jie looked at the book in his hand, then cleared his throat, smiled solemnly and handed the book out.
"Although I feel a little pretentious, but I unexpectedly feel that this book is suitable. To be honest, I am quite confident in this research..."
"?"
Wilde was a little puzzled by this subtle self-effacing tone, took the book and lowered his head to glance.
Lin Jie followed his line of sight, the title and author of the book were printed on the cover.
"Ritual and Folklore".
Lin Jie.
