I’M Really Not The Demon God’S Lackey
Chapter 13 - Iron Will
"Sneaky and dangerous "rat" I'm afraid I can't even dream of it.
He was swayed among various organizations for decades without a problem. On the surface, he was just an ordinary intelligence merchant, but in reality, his eyes were scattered to various powers, and he could be called the king of that unknown dark country.
In the end, he died silently, without a trace, in a seemingly ordinary bookstore.
Died of his pride of "sharpness".
Ji Zhixu sat down again, but felt like sitting on a safety pin and needle.
His tea cup hands trembled slightly, and he could not help but glance at the gargoyle at the counter next to him.
A demon who had swallowed a living human in a very cruel manner just now had turned into a calm and pitch-black statue.
As if nothing happened.
The statue placed there did not even move its position, and crouched silently towards the door.
I just don't know if it's Ji Zhixu's illusion, his blood red eyes seem more obvious ...
Ji Zhixu looked at Lin Jie, who was walking down the stairs like there was nothing, and thought, this must be a warning from the bookstore owner!
He must have seen Ryan's disrespect and suspicion a long time ago, but he didn't bother to point it out, and directly let the gargoyle kill this foolish and fearless man.
Disparaging.
He didn't even bother to do it himself, and didn't want to see the ugly appearance of this fellow who was struggling in front of death, so he casually looked for an excuse and left.
No, he didn't even make excuses. All he said was "five minutes is enough for some things." Isn't this when he talked about killing Ryan between ups and downs?
This ... is too in line with the temperament of dark witches!
Proud, graceful, cruel, vicious .. more cruel than hunters.
No wonder Wilde showed up here.
This devastating powerhouse that almost represents the image of a dark witch in recent years, I want to come to the owner of this bookstore, at least, will be a good friend ...
"What you just said, don't hesitate to say if you have any ideas, I'll try my best to help, you're welcome."
Lin Jie smiled kindly at Ji Zhixu and sat back in his chair.
Ji Zhixu was agitated, and averted his gaze from the gargoyle in an instant, and said carefully: "No, it's okay, just think, can you lend me another book ... I'm sorry, my entourage is a bit rude just now, but please. You believe it's not my wish. "
At this moment, she felt perplexed, like a little girl who knew nothing.
Rather than exterminating the cold-blooded hunter who had just swallowed the white wolf leader's base camp.
But when someone who had just spoken to himself was killed instantly by his side, there was no trace left.
Feel the terrible death before your eyes.
It cannot help people experience fear deeply.
For Ji Zhixu, the most frightening thing was that not only did Ryan not have any room to fight back at that moment, he also did not react at all.
In other words, assuming that the gargoyle attacked him at that moment, there was a high chance that he would yawn silently.
If he had ever respected Lin Jie before, now it was a sense of admiration from the heart.
Lin Jie laughed blankly and said, "What's the difference? I was originally a bookstore. If you want to borrow, choose it at will. Want to see the book on this shelf?"
"But everyone can only borrow three books at a time. If you want to buy, the price will be higher, and only books on the shelf behind you."
He pointed to the three rows of bookshelves behind Ji Zhixu, where all the books he had read and stored copies of them.
Ji Zhixu shook his head. Where he dared to spy on this vast and mysterious library at will, but last time it was "Blood and Beast" he only stayed in the prologue.
Deeper still, he was afraid that his soul would go mad from the taboo.
"Please recommend other books that are suitable for me. My desire is too weak."
He sat on a bench with his hands on his knees, carefully and authentically.
Obviously she was a mature and glamorous imperial sister in her twenties, but she looked like a pitiful and playful kitten now.
Lin Jie felt that the attitude of this oldest woman was somewhat inexplicable.
Why didn't he leave for five minutes, he just looked like a tiger, and he spoke softly.
It seemed like the soul had been struck.
Lin Jie thought for a moment, the only factor of change in this matter should be the subordinates who suddenly left in an emergency.
When he was upstairs, he vaguely heard a quarrel from below.
In that case, according to his guess, this subordinate very likely thought that it was inappropriate for young women to come to this broken bookstore.
for the.
So I wanted to prevent the woman from getting away from him as a "liar", but Ji Zhixu had already built up trust in him, so he refused.
In the end both of them broke up unhappily, and his subordinates might have gone home to report the oldest woman's rebellion.
Well, that's right, this is the oldest woman that can meet that bastard.
"Then, I have a book that I can recommend to you."
Lin Jie stood up, took out a book from the shelf, patted the dust in vain, turned his head and narrowed his eyes: "By the way, your subordinates, his eyes are wrong."
"It's better to say less about things like absolute loyalty."
After that incident, Ji Zhixu also hesitated a little in his heart, and said: "But ..."
The power of runes passed down from ancient times by the White Witch, especially the brand of "loyalty", was very popular among high-level nobles and the rich.
Of course, the runes drawn by different magicians were also different, and only one person knew how to remove them.
If Ryan's brand fails, it means--
Haywood, the white mage supported by her father, would most likely sell the stripped runes to others without permission.
Lin Jie handed the book in his hand and said in a low voice: "The other person is hell. You can never judge what others think, right? There is no way to fully reveal the human heart to you. Right now."
"The only thing you can count on and believe in is yourself."
"So, work hard. When you can't be crushed like steel, nothing can beat you."
Ji Zhixu reached out her hand to pick it up, looked at the cover and muttered: "Steel ..."
Lin Jie smiled and nodded.
Yes, this is "How Steel is Made".
"Look further, if you can learn something from him, it will help."
"In this way, one day, when you look back into the past, you will not regret your inaction or the squandering of your years, nor will you feel guilty for being mean or vulgar."
"You have your own mission."
When Ji Zhixu left the bookstore, standing in a trance in the rain, the words of the bookstore owner were still lingering in his ears.
He looked at the "Iron Will" in his hand and slowly turned the pages of the book.
In an instant, there was a nameless power that filled his mind and soul, making him feel that everything in front of him was invisible.
