Chapter 72

Oh? Lin Jie was a little surprised. It seems that the treatment effect of his two visits to Joseph during this period was not bad. This has already produced a certain degree of trust and dependence.

Compared with choosing books by myself, I trust his recommended bibliography more.

It seems that becoming the next regular customer like Lao Wang is just around the corner... Really gratifying progress.

"That's fine."

Lin Jie stood up, walked to the bookshelf behind him, pondered for a while, and took down a book: "In this case, I think this book should be helpful to you at this stage."

Joseph stretched out his hand to take it, and saw that "When the Stars Return to Their Places" written on the cover was very clear.

The stars... return to their place?

Joseph's heart trembled, his arms tightened, and the internal structure of the mechanical prosthetic twisted, making a teeth-piercing rubbing sound involuntarily.

He has always had a good self-control ability, but now he even lost control of his prosthetic limbs, which shows how strong his inner touch is.

Of course, part of it was because I was shocked by the indescribable horror that appeared in the bookshelf just now.

The "war of gods" that ended in that instant was like the fireworks that bloomed in the night sky in an instant, leaving an indelible brilliance in the heart of a transcendent like Joseph who was already regarded as a high-ranking person.

Incomprehensible power, incomprehensible strength, but when the tip of the iceberg is revealed, it gives people an unparalleled shock.

If there is a God, Joseph thought, then this is it.

At the same time, in all mystical fields, the starry sky always represents the highest taboo.

Beyond that distant and unknown sky lies a daunting vastness and depth. They are afraid of this boundless darkness, because no one knows what is there.

And now, "God" took out a book about "Starry Sky".

Even if Joseph didn't dare to think about it, he couldn't help trembling slightly, and couldn't open the thin pages of the book.

The owner of the bookstore behind the counter said: "This biography... well, it seems a bit difficult for you to understand, just treat it as a fictional novel that records another lost civilization."

another world? !

Do you mean the starry sky? The existence beyond the starry sky also has its own civilization, Holy Light...

What the bookstore owner is telling him is the ancient secret, or the truth of the world?

As if he had been bewitched, Joseph was both terrified and yearning, and turned the pages of the book involuntarily.

The boundless and deep starry sky in the text expands and distorts, stars, nebula and cantilever, past, present and future, chaos, darkness and time and space, are destroyed and reborn again and again, and when the stars coincide, they all open their eyes , stretched his body, and issued a low and terrifying call.

"Roar--"

"call……"

Joseph came back to his senses, took a deep breath, calmed down 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 owner of the bookstore to prevent himself from falling into panic. The fictional novels were probably taking care of his little reason...

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 run out and yell towards the sky now.

Fortunately, he has been letting himself go for so many years, and he is used to letting himself muddle along.

It's not bad to think so, hahahaha... Gan!

After two consecutive cognitive baptisms, Joseph couldn't help but feel his ignorance and weakness even though he was once a glorious knight.

Once again he overturned his assessment of the owner of the bookstore.

But this time it wasn't their fault, it was because their highest rating was an I.

Joseph carefully considered: "These... in the biographies, uh... the great beings, are they members of this civilization?"

Lin Jie stopped his reading, raised his head and looked dumbly at the "When the Stars of Mankind Shine" in his hand, thinking what kind of problem this is.

However, I thought it might be because many parts of this biographical work may be very obscure to Joseph, and my mind may be a little confused now, so I was relieved.

He took it for granted: "Of course they are, they are the monuments of the old civilization, the witnesses and creators of history, but no one can last forever, no matter how great it is, it will eventually disappear in the long river of time. "

Joseph stared at the book and nodded.

He could feel that in this book, there seemed to be some powerful beings sealed away, 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 kingdom, died out, and they also declined and were sealed.

As for the person who sealed them... There is no doubt that it is 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 places in this book that you can't understand, don't think too much, the important thing is to understand the will , make them work for you."

Joseph's face twitched, and he said hoarsely: "I think...it might be a little difficult for me."

"Don't be discouraged."

Lin Jie rewrapped the long sword, and the bookstore suddenly returned to darkness. He smiled and said: "Since this is your decision, then work hard to do it well, let go of the past, whether it is pain or honor, and then better Face the future."

"Everyone has their own destiny. Maybe this book can help you fulfill your mission better. Some challenges in your new life are inevitable. Let's start by using this book reasonably. I will give it to you as a gift, and you can study it slowly."

Joseph was stunned for a moment, and as if realizing something in his heart, 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."

"There is a sentence that I think I can give to you." He cleared his throat, selected the most touching words from "When the Stars of Mankind Shine", and said slowly: "In a nation, only one genius emerges from millions of people. ; millions of idle hours in the world pass by before a truly historic moment, the star-studded hour of mankind."

"—But once this moment comes, it will affect the course of history for thousands of years. When strong personal will collides with historical destiny, sparks will flicker, and such moments 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. There are not so many opportunities in this world to set up a stage for heroes."

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 a human being. Human resources are sometimes poor. Do what you can. When you need it, Just complete the '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 Secret Ritual Tower, vowing to fight for the light, and his heart was surging.

He looked at the magic sword in the hands of the owner of the bookstore, and all the years of decadence were wiped away.

"I will...I will."
