Oh? Lin Jie was a little surprised. It seems that the therapeutic effect of his two visits to Joseph during this period is not bad. This has already produced a certain degree of trust and dependence.
Instead of choosing books by myself, I trust his recommended books more.
It seems that it is just around the corner to become the next regular customer like Pharaoh... What a very gratifying progress.
"That's fine too."
Lin Jie stood up, walked to the bookshelf behind him, pondered for a while, and took down a book: "In that case, I think this book should be helpful to you at this stage."
Joseph reached out and took it, looking at the "When the Stars Return" written on the cover of the book very clearly.
Stellaris... Homecoming
Joseph was shocked, his arms tightened, the internal structure of the mechanical prosthesis twisted, and he couldn't help making a sour friction sound.
He has always had good self-control, but now even his prosthesis is a little out of control, which shows how strongly his heart is touched.
Of course, part of it was because I was shocked by the indescribable horror that appeared in the bookshelf just now.
The "God War" that ended at that moment was like a firework that burst into the night sky, leaving an indelible brilliance in the heart of an extraordinary person like Joseph who was already considered a high-ranking person.
Incomprehensible power, incomprehensible power, but when it shows the tip of the iceberg, it gives people an unparalleled shock.
Joseph thought, if there is a God, then this is it.
At the same time, in all mystical realms, the starry sky always represents the highest taboo.
Beyond that distant and unknown sky, there is a palpitating vastness and depth. They fear this boundless darkness, because no one knows what is there.
And now, "God" has come up with a book about "Starry Sky".
Even Joseph didn't dare to think about it, he couldn't help trembling slightly, and he couldn't open the thin page.
The owner of the bookstore behind the counter said, "This biography... um, it seems a bit difficult for you to understand, so let's take it as a fictional novel about another lost civilization."
another world? !
Do you mean the starry sky? The existence outside the starry sky also has its own civilization, holy light...
Is the bookstore owner telling him a secret from ancient times, or the truth of the world
As if being bewitched, Joseph was both frightened and yearning, and turned the page involuntarily.
The boundless and deep starry sky in the text expands and twists, stars, nebulae and cantilevers, past, present and future, chaos, darkness and time and space, in the destruction and rebirth again and again, when the stars coincide, they all open their eyes together , stretched his body, and issued a low and terrible call.
"Roar-"
"Huh..."
Joseph came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and calmed his trembling heart, closed his eyes, and forced his overheated brain not to think about these things.
Looking at the closed book in his hand.
He suddenly realized that he had been flipping through the book for ten minutes.
At this moment, he suddenly understood the rhetoric used by the bookstore owner to prevent himself from panicking. The fictional novel was probably taking care of his little remaining sense...
Joseph felt that he had better follow the instructions of the bookstore owner and not delve into it, otherwise he would not be in a trance, and he might now run out and yell at the sky.
Fortunately, he has been letting himself go for so many years, and has become accustomed to letting himself live by.
It's not bad to think so, hahahaha... Gan!
After two consecutive cognitive baptisms, Joseph could not help but feel his ignorance and weakness even if he was once a glorious knight.
Again he overturned his assessment of the bookstore owner.
But this time it wasn't their fault, but because their highest rating was only an I.
Joseph carefully considered: "These... biographies, er... great beings, are they members of this civilization?"
Lin Jie stopped his reading, raised his head and looked at the book "When the Stars Glitter" in his hand, thinking what kind of problem this is.
But thinking that it may be because many parts of this biographical work may be very obscure to Joseph, and now my mind may be a little confused, I am relieved.
He said of course: "Of course, they are the monuments of the old civilization, the witnesses and creators of history, but no one can last forever, no matter how great the existence is, it will eventually disappear in the long river of time. "
Joseph stared at the book and nodded.
He could feel that some powerful beings seemed to be sealed in this book, and as long as certain conditions were met, they could be summoned.
But such a call seems to be very risky...
According to the owner of the bookstore, they may have been great members of a higher civilization, but this civilization, like the ancient kingdoms, died out, and they also died out, and then they were sealed.
As for the person who sealed them... No doubt, it was the owner of the bookstore in front of him.
Lin Jie saw that his face was very solemn, and added: "I know you may feel a little confused now, this is normal, after all, there are many parts of this book that you can't understand, don't think too much, the important thing is to understand the will in it , make them work for you."
Joseph's face twitched, and he said hoarsely, "I think... this might be a bit difficult for me."
"Don't be discouraged."
Lin Jie wrapped the long sword again, and the darkness in the bookstore suddenly returned, he smiled and said, "Since this is your decision, then work hard, let go of the past, whether it's pain or honor, and then better face the future."
"Everyone has their own destiny, maybe this book can help you fulfill your mission better. It is inevitable to have some challenges in your new life. First of all, let's start by using this book reasonably. I'll give it to you as a gift, and you can study it slowly."
Joseph was stunned for a moment, and if he realized something, he nodded and said, "Thank you for your gift and teaching, I have benefited a lot."
Lin Jie shook his head: "I'm just picking up people's teeth."
"I think I can give you a sentence." He cleared his throat, picked out the words in "When the Stars Glitter" that touched him the most, and said slowly, "In a nation, only one genius can emerge from millions of people. The millions of hours of leisure on earth have passed, and a truly historic moment has begun, a time when the stars of humanity shine."
"—But once this moment comes, it will affect the historical process for thousands of years. When a strong personal will and historical destiny collide, sparks flicker, and that moment will illuminate the sky of human civilization from now on."
"Every moment like this is a stage for heroes!"
Lin Jie paused and said, "Of course, I'm not asking you to be a hero, and there are not so many opportunities in this world to set up a stage for a hero."
He smiled and said: "Don't take yourself too seriously, and don't take yourself too lightly, you are a human being, and you are only a part of human beings. Sometimes manpower is poor, do what you can do, and when you need it, Complete that 'destiny' that belongs to you, and that's it."
Joseph felt as if he had returned to his youth, listening to the teachings of the elders in the sanctuary of the Mystic Tower, swearing to fight for the light, and his heart was ups and downs.
He looked at the magic sword in the bookstore owner's hand, and years of decadence were swept away.
"I will... I definitely will."
