Chapter 19

"thanks."

Joseph's words came from the heart and instinct.

Although the suspicion and vigilance in my heart have not diminished, this gratitude is still sincere.

Joseph sat up from the recliner, and his heavy body put tremendous pressure on the old object.

The recliner made a toothsome creaking sound, as if hovering on the verge of falling apart.

He frowned, and simply stood up with fists in his hands.

The owner of the bookstore waved his hand, as if he didn't care about what he was doing, and said, "It's okay, I should do what I should do to help customers. How do you feel now? Are you okay?"

Joseph moved the joints and muscles all over his body, made a fist posture, and made a sound like a bowstring being tensed.

It seems that this punch is like a bow and arrow ready to go. Once the "spring" is released, the force it can release is absolutely amazing.

He took a deep breath, and his mind was clear.

Unlike the previous situation of being tormented by hallucinations, the senses became extremely clear, which was an unprecedented refreshing feeling.

There are still remnants of the emotions transmitted by the magic sword Kendela.

Serenity, comfort, joy...

so good!

Joseph couldn't help but evoked a relieved smile. The feeling of the peak period finally returned to him after two years.

Lin Jie secretly twitched the corners of his mouth as he watched from the side.

It seems that this old man may really kill someone with a punch.

He felt more and more reliable about his guess.

This posture really has the feeling of a soldier - that kind of cold and chilling taste, and a sense of danger that makes the hair stand on end.

"I'm fine now, better than I've ever been."

Joseph withdrew his fist, returned to his normal posture, and nodded.

He was thinking about the words of the owner of the bookstore, thoughtfully.

Helping customers is a matter of course...in other words, a neutral attitude that will help no matter what kind of customers it means.

No it's not, it's more of a messy, self-willed goodness.

Whether it's a vicious and brutal dark wizard like Wilde.

Or a big knight like him who hates evil like a vengeful man.

As long as you enter this bookstore, you will be the object of help from the owner of the bookstore.

This kind of style, Joseph has only seen in one group - elves.

These are from ancient times, a minority race that has never died out, long-lived, elegant, and good at art.

The owner of the bookstore in front of him gave people the impression that they were very similar to them.

Only a long life can make him lose the will to distinguish between good and evil, and start to pursue new pleasures instead.

The attitude towards people is so gentle and polite, with natural calm and elegance.

Opening a bookstore and liking to read books corresponds to being good at art. Nowadays, human beings don't have much interest in books.

And even more coincidentally, the first owner of the magic sword Kendela.

It was an elf named Candela.

And in the legend that has been passed down for thousands of years, Kendela is the prince of the ancient elf kingdom, and later the moon elf king.

And "the source of the great plague", "the first madman".

His madness was covered under the dust of history, and the only thing known was that he killed himself with his own sword.

The sword became a wedge, crucifying his soul.

The soul turned into a curse that turned the long sword into a magic sword-the prince shared a name with his sword.

Since then, every holder of the magic sword will eventually die after going crazy.

Before that, Joseph once felt that he was not far from the end of this process.

But now everything is different!

The book in his hand can actually appease Demon Sword Candela!

Then, no matter how you think about it, the bookstore owner who can own such a book can only be an elf...

In this way, the absence of etheric fluctuations is also very easy to explain. If there is an elf who has lived from ancient times to the present, then it is absolutely impossible for him to put his power in other fields besides life span!

At this time, thinking about the words of the previous bookstore owner, everything has an explanation.

Joseph looked at the owner of the bookstore, picked up the book in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Just now you said that this book is the only one, and you like to read it very much - so can I borrow it?"

Lin Jie nodded, blinked, and said with a dumb smile: "Of course, if it wasn't like this, I wouldn't release it, and I wouldn't recommend it to you."

He cleared his throat: "Actually, I think this book is very suitable for you from the first sight."

"Many people like you will be very painful. Because of the torment and regret in their hearts, they feel that they are not capable enough and their will is not firm. This happened, which led to self-doubt and finally drove them crazy."

Alas, Lin Jie has also seen people who have been on the battlefield. They are often brooding about their experience of doing wrong things on the battlefield.

Because under normal circumstances, any small mistake made on the battlefield may cost a life.

"But in fact, it was never pain that defeated them, but their cowardly kindness."

Joseph was taken aback, and murmured in a low voice, "Good?"

He had seen the holders of the two magic swords, both of whom were the famous glorious knights of the Mystery Tahehe.

Each has great deeds and perfect conduct.

But in the end, without exception, they were all polluted by the Demon Sword, and their greatest regret was that they felt unwilling, that they were not capable enough to completely control the Demon Sword!

Lin Jie shook his head, took a deep look at Joseph, sat back behind the counter, and folded his hands: "Kindness is a good thing, but the key word is cowardice."

"Because others have too high expectations, out of their own noble character and sense of responsibility, they want to give others more confidence and help, so they double arm themselves to make themselves look invincible and full of aggressiveness, but in fact, Such a defense is extremely fragile."

"Once the mind breaks down, any factor may take advantage of it."

"This kind of kindness can save others, but it cannot save oneself."

"Those who gaze into the abyss will also be watched by the abyss—sometimes, don't regard yourself as an omnipotent hero, but be an ordinary person. It is a kind of courage to escape properly, and it will not overwhelm yourself."

Take a sip of chicken soup, if you don't believe me, you won't be moved.

Lin Jie showed his iconic smile, which is Mr. Lin's classic marketing speech.

Be sure to tie the product and the customer together, making him feel that only he is worthy of this thing, and this thing is a thing that highlights the customer's self-characteristics.

Joseph chewed on Lin Jie's words, feeling a little enlightened.

I see.

The erosion of the magic sword did not happen overnight. The character of the great knights was obviously impeccable, but in the end they were polluted.

They always thought that the curse of the magic sword was too powerful.

Unexpectedly, behind all this is actually the "inner demon" of the demon sword holder himself! They have been going in the wrong direction all along! Damn it!

"But just to appease it, can it last for a long time?"

Joseph frowned.

Ok?

Using fairy tales to soothe emotions is of course only a short-term way to vent.

"Of course not."

Lin Jie shook his head, then smiled and said, "But if you want, you can leave it to me to solve it, and it will be effective for a long time."

Hmph, in this way, won't you get a customer who needs to solve psychological problems for a long time?
