Chapter 20

The holders of the magic sword in the past were all selected from among the ten glorious knights.

The best and the most powerful.

In the eyes of everyone, it seems to be perfect.

As the holder of the magic sword of this generation, Joseph was once a dazzling and perfect existence almost like the sun.

But like a diamond, the harder it looks, the more fragile it is.

In a battle with Wilde, he lost his right arm.

He also lost his aura.

Even though his supporters are the same as before, it is undeniable that the undefeated Sheng Yan has flaws that cannot be forgotten.

Countless doubts and criticisms swarmed from places that can be seen and cannot be seen.

Even if no one dared to show it directly in front of him, and countless people thought Wilde was dead, his inner self-denial was about to overwhelm him.

In the end, Joseph chose to retire.

Being a retired section chief in intelligence, getting sullen, cranky, unkempt... maybe not that bad, but whatever.

Perhaps his obsession with catching Wilde is actually to prove himself again.

He knows what some people think of him.

The first to surrender before being tainted by the sword, thus becoming the longest-living holder of the sword in history.

"Maybe what he thinks is that he will fall first while the magic sword is not paying attention, so that the magic sword will not pollute him hahahaha!"

What a bunch of cubs with brains and mouths full of shit!

Joseph felt that he might have really fallen, and he wanted to punch this guy's dog's head off.

Oh, by the Light, forgive him.

How sacrilegious the thought that he almost got his fists covered in shit!

But now it seems that maybe he is luckier than other sword holders, and much luckier.

Because of the disappearance of those auras on his body, his subsequent laissez-faire reduced his spiritual flaws, thus slowing down the erosion of the magic sword.

In a sense, these people are right.

And even luckier, he may have found... the successor of the Demon Sword.

When the owner of the bookstore said "give it to me", Joseph must admit that he was moved.

The magic sword Candela is not owned by the Tower of Mystery, but is used by the Tower of Mystery because of its powerful curse and magic power.

Although this sword is cursed, it is still very powerful.

The Secret Ritual Tower's handling of this magical weapon is to let the strongest knight suppress it and use it to fight against other evil forces.

But in fact, the Mystery Tower also has this deep fear of this sword.

With the madness and death of generations of glorious great knights, he could feel that those old knights in the elder's seat already had the idea of ​​sealing this sword forever.

And Joseph has always been troubled by not being able to find a new successor.

The new great knight who inherited his position has no problem in character, but his strength is not enough.

"Are you sure? Will this cause any trouble? Dealing with it is not an easy task..."

Joseph raised his head and said in a low voice.

He is in awe of the will of the owner of the bookstore. The magic sword does not simply give people power, and the madness that follows him is enough to make people fear.

Even those extremely vicious characters would never dare to hold the magic sword if they did not have the determination to die.

And the owner of this bookstore is willing to take the initiative!

What a self-sacrificing spirit!

Not only did he temporarily heal the hallucinations and pain caused by the magic sword for free, but he also made such a decision without hesitation.

Ahead, but the abyss...

"What's the trouble with this, just leave it to me, you shouldn't be able to hold on in your current state, right?"

Lin Jie is used to some minor worries from customers.

Dealing with emotions is indeed not an easy task.

Even if you are just a listener, you will feel uncomfortable and disgusted by the pouring of negative energy.

it's OK!

As a life coach, he is a professional!

He smiled and said, "I think I've said a lot. The choice is up to you. It doesn't matter if you don't think it's necessary. I can give you this book as a gift."

Lin Jie glanced at Joseph's right arm and sighed, "You, and heroes like you, should also take a break."

Joseph couldn't help but glanced around again. The darkness and dilapidation of this bookstore seemed to suddenly become secluded and simple.

The young bookstore owner in front of him had a dazzling smile on his face.

He could not believe that ordinary human beings could have such noble and selfless conduct.

Even the knights of the Secret Ritual Tower, because of the dogma they obeyed and the justice they believed in since childhood, they gradually acquired a nearly flawless character.

Only long-lived species can pursue this kind of goodness that goes beyond common sense.

Joseph was more confident in his guess.

If it was Joseph in the past, such a person must be dismissed as hypocrisy. There is no standard of kindness, how can it be called kindness.

But now he doesn't think so.

People can never understand each other.

The only thing he can do is insist on himself.

Wilde survived and was helped by the owner of the bookstore, it doesn't matter, because he will be killed by Joseph in the end!

This is his responsibility, what he needs to do...

"No, since I have chosen what kind of person to be, I won't regret it anymore. Let's wait until the world is peaceful."

Joseph shook his head and smiled in relief, and then said: "I need to think about it again, so I don't need to give it away. Can you lend me this book for a few days? Well... seven days, I will come to you again after seven days."

Lin Jie fully understands the complicated emotions in his heart now.

Alas, it seems that the exaggerated sense of justice really made this veteran feel very painful.

He must have wanted to make greater contributions to the cause of justice, but at the same time he hated his current physical and mental condition.

It's good to sort out your emotions.

Lin Jie was 80% sure that he would definitely come to find him in seven days.

He skillfully took out the registration book: "No problem at all, just register the basic information, pay a deposit, and only need to write the name and date to borrow books in the future. If you don't want to borrow any more, half of the deposit will be refunded."

Joseph was taken aback, this is really opening a bookstore...

But after thinking about it, this is a normal disguise, so he nodded, took a pen and signed his name.

He looked at the name "Frank Wilde" at the top of the page, and the one-month time limit, put down his pen, and looked up.

"All right."

Lin Jie took a look and said, "Then see you in seven days."

Joseph took the book "Children of the Abyss" and performed a formal knightly etiquette to the owner of the bookstore.

...

"You mean, the teacher was knocked down on the spot just standing face to face in that bookstore?!"

Claude grabbed the struggling and meowing black cat in his hand, his face full of disbelief: "How is this possible?!"

"Mobilize people to support... No, damn it, if you can't even do it as a teacher, you must not act rashly now, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."

He turned around twice, paced left and right, holding the communicator.

"Where is the person sent by the bookstore to investigate? What's the situation now?"

"What? The teacher came out?"

Claude was taken aback for a moment, and the voice composed of ether came out of the instrument, forming Joseph's thick and vicissitudes of voice: "Claude, withdraw the investigators from 23rd Street, and list this bookstore as..."

"Level I area, top secret."
