Chapter 15

Joseph, the former great knight of glory.

Because I learned that "The Faceless Man with Black Scales" Wilde had recently appeared in the unnamed bookstore on 23rd Street, and stayed for more than an hour, it was very suspicious, so I came to investigate.

Before he came, he had carefully read the information of this bookstore.

Because the matter is related to a destructive black wizard, the information has already been sorted out during the process of submission, and the situation is very clear.

The backdrop of this bookstore is cleanly heinous.

It can even be said to be blank.

The owner of the bookstore, Lin Jie, is a foreigner from the northern highlands with black hair and black eyes. He opened a bookstore here three years ago. Later, he was fortunate enough to get the honor of the vice president of the Ash Chamber of Commerce with the books in his hand. Favored, guaranteed, officially listed for operation.

These are public information that can be queried within the Ash Chamber of Commerce. Given the reputation of the Ash Chamber of Commerce and the mental cleanliness of those druids, this information is 99% credible.

that's the truth.

All corners of this bookstore, as well as the young people in front of them, did not have any etheric fluctuations.

In the eyes of people of his level, the flow of ether in Nuo Jin City is very clear and perceptible, and there is no possibility of being deceived.

In this way, there is no need to spend a lot of time inquiring, and this young man must know nothing.

Wilde would not disclose his information to him, it was just a waste of time.

When Joseph was young, he made countless mistakes like this.

Now that he is old and spicy, he has learned how to avoid it.

Now the situation is clear at a glance, the only abnormality is this gargoyle.

Wilde bought a book and put a gargoyle here for an hour. It must have some effect. Could it be that this is some kind of coordinate...

Joseph stared at the young man in front of him with a very oppressive posture, his sharp eyes judged whether he was lying.

"That gargoyle, is it yours?"

Lin Jie heard the words, turned his head to look at the gargoyle in surprise, and shook his head: "It was given to me by one of my guests, um, a souvenir."

Could it be that this uncle has taken a fancy to this handicraft and wants to buy it?

That can't be done, the local souvenirs given by Lao Wang are more meaningful than valuable.

When Lin Jie was thinking about how to refuse, Joseph glanced at the registration book on Lin Jie's desk that had not been returned, and saw the corner of the name on the corner.

"Frank Wilde, is he the guest?"

he asked.

Lin Jie naturally didn't notice such an inadvertent movement.

He also couldn't imagine that in such a dim light, someone could see the blurry corner of the register with just one glance.

But even so, such a corner cannot make people say the name completely.

So he instantly knew that the person in front of him knew Lao Wang.

"yes."

He became vigilant, nodded calmly, and thought to himself, could this uncle be Lao Wang's enemy?

Why do I feel like I'm seeking revenge...

Joseph frowned, how could Wilde give a gargoyle of this level to ordinary people?

This is indeed a very typical gargoyle produced by a dark wizard, with extraordinary strength, at least panic level, and not ordinary panic level.

Even to him, it was slightly threatening—meaning enough to cut the skin and cause it to bleed.

And the real name was revealed... no, wait, maybe it wasn't revealed, but on purpose? !

They originally speculated that this is the stronghold of dark wizards, but now it seems that the young bookstore owner is an ordinary person, so it is not true.

But suppose they take this as a sign of connection, which means that this is actually just a meeting place...

Lin Jie looked at the uncle in front of him and fell into deep thought, feeling that this guy didn't seem to be seeking revenge anymore.

Logically speaking, the process of seeking revenge should always be to intimidate first, then intimidate, and then ask about Lao Wang's whereabouts, what he has done recently, whereabouts, etc.?

If you say something, just kill it.

If you don't say anything, you will be beaten and kicked to extract a confession, and then silenced.

No matter how you look at it now, it doesn't look like it, so I just asked a few innocuous words, and just stood there thinking, what is this seeking revenge?

Lin Jie had to think about it in a different way. It is also possible that this uncle is Lao Wang's friend?

Although it looks very bad, but based on Lin Jie's years of experience in seeing people, after putting aside the prejudice of first impressions, this will not be a bad person.

When he came in, although he was very imposing, he was careful not to damage the objects in the bookstore in every move.

Opening and closing the door did not damage the door, and tapping the counter did not damage the counter.

Thinking about it this way, he is actually a kind-hearted and gentle person.

Lin Jie was thoughtful, cleared his throat, and asked, "Are you a friend of Mr. Wilde?"

Joseph came back to look at him, and he showed a strange smile when he heard the words: "Friend?...Well, we have known each other for many years, but two years ago he had a little conflict with me, and he left without saying goodbye. Until recently Just got the news about him."

Lin Jie secretly said that it is true.

Two years ago, wasn't that when Lao Wang first came to the bookstore?

It's no wonder that the distraught look turned out to be a conflict with a good friend...

Alas, Lao Wang is really not easy.

Not only does he live alone in such a big city, he lives alone, his relatives dislike him, and he also has conflicts with his friends.

But now it seems that the person in front of him should be planning to take the initiative to reconcile.

What a joy!

Lin Jie said happily: "So that's the case. No wonder you can recognize it as Mr. Wilde's at a glance. You must have a good relationship."

Joseph used his investigative techniques cautiously, and casually said, "It's pretty good. It can be said that we are real close friends and confidants. I have been looking for his traces all these years."

As for the relationship between him and Wilde, it was so good that he wanted to chop off the other's neck and crush his internal organs.

Oh... almost did it two years ago.

It's just that Wilde didn't know what method he used, and he didn't die at that time.

Lin Jie didn't expect the friendship between these two old men to be so deep, and he was moved: "That is really an enviable friendship, but unfortunately I don't know his address, otherwise I would definitely tell."

You can know that it must be false.

Joseph curled his lips, and he didn't know how he would chat with the bookstore owner.

But anyway, it's enough to erase this guy's memory afterwards, and it doesn't hurt to chat a few words.

Lin Jie said: "Mr. Wilde just came to borrow books a few days ago, and it should take a while before he comes back. I probably won't be able to find him in the short term—do you want to sit down and rest for a while?"

Joseph raised his head, and the young man in front of him had a kind and gentle smile on his face, and poured him a cup of hot tea.

"Or, come and read a book?"
