Chapter 170

Bella's heart fluttered.

She felt as if she had finally caught a glimpse of the truth behind the hazy appearance of this mysterious bookstore owner.

If it goes back to the First Epoch, then first of all Mr. Lin cannot be a human being, because human beings did not exist on a large scale at that time, and it was even a question of whether they existed or not.

Secondly, it is impossible to be elves, because elves were born from the corpses of giants. After the giants died due to large-scale wars, they gradually gained power, established the kingdom of elves, and gradually completely replaced the existence of giants.

In that fragmented old history, among the existences with absolute power recorded, the most famous ones are the four original witches, but these few have only ever appeared in the form of women, so they can basically be ruled out.

Secondly, there are several famous dragons in the ancient dragon group, such as Bakak, the dragon of disaster that symbolizes destruction, Felix, the dragon that symbolizes the source of wisdom, and Spring, the sky dragon that symbolizes ether.

But Sky Dragon can also be ruled out directly.

Because the fossil heart they brought came from the sky dragon, which directly proved that Spring had already died in the first era.

As a dragon born directly from the ether, all parts of its body are very precious and powerful spell-casting materials, and the heart is the core for it to store and transform ether, and its preciousness is self-evident.

Even if the power of ether contained in it does nothing, just spend a little ether to detonate it, and it can directly kill a destroyer.

But thinking about it, most people would not be so reckless. If this heart is used to make the core of a large magic circle, or an extraordinary item such as a staff, it can definitely greatly increase its strength.

In addition, there are some extremely ancient elemental creatures in the First Epoch, such as Alfred, a master of light elements...

Bella counted the greats of the first era that she knew, but limited by what she had learned, she felt that what she knew was not comprehensive enough.

The head maid looked at her master and secretly decided to investigate the history of the first era.

Knowing Boss Lin's true identity is not important, what is important is that if he is really this kind of longevity species, it is impossible to accept Qi Li, because this is not just a matter of race, but an essential difference in the level of life .

Just as it is impossible for a human to fall in love with an ant, this is a doomed unrequited love.

"As the master's best assistant, he should be responsible for letting the master understand this in time, so as to minimize possible adverse consequences."

Bella thought so in her heart.

Judging from the current signs, the probability that Boss Lin himself is the ancient dragon is relatively high, but from the analysis of his character and behavior, it is unlikely that he is the dragon of disaster, Bakak, who symbolizes destruction.

Opening a bookstore, good at guiding people, rich in wisdom, omniscient and omnipotent...Felix, the dragon of the source, symbolizes wisdom. According to legend, he holds all the knowledge in the world, which almost coincides with the characteristics of the owner of the bookstore.

However, according to Bella's evaluation, the dragon of the source is only at the destruction level, and the strength that Mr. Lin has shown so far is far beyond the god level, which remains to be seen.

After Lin Jie habitually had a few polite words with Qi Li, he suddenly inexplicably felt that Qi Li's exclusive maid, who had only met twice and chatted a few words, looked at him strangely.

That kind of look that secretly carried a hint of scrutiny and observation, as if looking at some suspicious person.

On the other hand, when she looked at Qi Li, she pursed her lips slightly, looking very unbearable.

This Bo Lin is very familiar, isn't this a typical eight o'clock froth drama of "the rich lady falls in love with the poor boy who runs a bookstore, and the maid is ready to beat the mandarin ducks because of the anger of the door guard".

Lin Jie raised his eyebrows. Although it's not really that exaggerated, but Qi Li spends so much money to give the fossil as a gift, it is estimated that there will be dissatisfied people.

If Bella intends to prevent Qi Li from contacting him, it is out of consideration for Qi Li after all, and there is nothing wrong with it.

I don't know if there will be a plot of throwing a stack of banknotes at his face... Ahem, he didn't look forward to this kind of scene at all. The friendship between him and Qi Li cannot be bought with money!

Well, the Church of the Dome has been using brutal methods to deal with the heretics that are its enemies for many years, and there must be a lot of money looted... Killing people and ransacking their homes is all supporting, and the Church of the Dome has no reason not to take advantage of it.

Even if not, with so many believers in the Dome Church, the purchase of indulgences is a huge sum of money every year. The churches they open in various places, the food and clothing of the Pope, the Holy Maiden, and the apostles are not money.

If the Church of the Dome can be successfully overthrown this time, and Vincent is allowed to take over, with the priest’s kind and honest personality, the money must be used first to repair charitable facilities in various places and relieve the poor, but these things are obviously Inexhaustible.

So the rest of the stolen money...

Just donate to the Ash Tree Chamber of Commerce.

I believe that Qili will use it on the right way, and it can be regarded as a return.

Thinking of this, Lin Jie straightened his back a lot, and his eyes happened to meet Bella, revealing a kind and understanding smile.

Bella seemed to be taken aback, her eyes flickering, has Mr. Lin noticed my inner thoughts?

Did he mean to smile at me, did he admit it... He really is a dragon!

Lin Jie had already withdrawn his eyes, moved the fossil box to the side, and smiled at Qi Li: "Didn't you say that you came here this time because you don't understand a book and want to ask me for advice?"

The blush on Qi Li's face receded slightly, she adjusted her expression, nodded and said seriously: "That book is hidden in Congreve's secret room, and it is well protected."

She turned her head and gestured to Bella, who took the book out from under her skirt.

Under the skirt?

A little question mark popped up in Lin Jie's heart, and after thinking about it, this kind of maid skirt should have a lot of pockets, just for a book, um, not unusual.

He took the book and narrowed his eyes slightly. There is no text on the cover of this book. The light brown cover has a very strange texture, like leather, but it is more delicate and soft than ordinary leather, with some light There are lines, and when the fingers are brushed, there is a vague illusion of touching the skin...

No, maybe not an illusion.

Lin Jie stared at the book in his hand, and a very firm idea popped up in his heart.

human skin book.

This is a book made of peeled whole human skin.

Lin Jie can be so sure, of course it is not groundless, but because he has seen similar things before.

When he was conducting folklore surveys, he also encountered a village with very strange customs. That village located in the deep mountains and old forests would take a piece of skin from the back of the dead to make a human skin drum.

Whenever a sacrificial ceremony is held in the village, every household will take out their human skin drum and beat it, which symbolizes summoning the soul and accepting the worship of the villagers.

This example was also mentioned in the book "Rituals and Folklore" he gave to Lao Wang.

At that time, for the purpose of research and curiosity, he tried to ask the villagers to observe the human skin drum, and the villagers enthusiastically agreed.

The touch at that time was exactly the same as the cover of the book in his hand now...
