Chapter 224

"Wilde showed up? Near the bookstore?"

Joseph's eyes froze, and his expression instantly became serious.

Judging from the length of time that Wilde and him hurt each other, it can be said that he is his old enemy, and the battle with Wilde at that time can be said to be a key turning point in his life.

If it weren't for this battle, he wouldn't have lost his arm, gradually being disturbed by the curse of the magic sword, and going to degeneration.

Although Wilde was almost blown away by him at that time, the damage caused to him by the former was not the same, and more importantly, the hidden injuries he had accumulated in the past also recurred at the same time, coupled with his mental depression.

It directly caused him to retreat to the second line and leave the battlefield.

But if it were not for this, he would not have come to the bookstore in the process of hunting Wilde, and ushered in a real turning point in his life.

God-level opportunity!

After the battle with the false god in the dream, Joseph really found the sword in his heart.

He could feel that he was only one layer away from the god level.

And this barrier is his obsession.

The obsession with that battle two years ago!

As long as he finds Wilde and defeats him, Joseph believes that he can truly advance to the god level, reaching the level that countless extraordinary people dream of.

Claude spoke in an orderly manner about the information he had obtained so far: "Wilde appeared directly not far from the door of the bookstore, suspected to have mastered space-time spells, but according to a dog-shaped creature with him and the spatial fluctuations that appeared at that time Judging by the frequency, it is very likely that he obtained a Wolf of the Empty Court as a summoned item."

"The Wolf of the Empty Garden... Interesting."

Joseph was thoughtful, his eyes flickering: "The original formula mastered by the hunter organization White Wolf is the Wolf of the Empty Court. At that time, traces of Wilde's appearance were captured on the battlefield, and Herris' body was not found later. I'm afraid it has something to do with him."

"In the past two years, when he was dormant, he was never idle at all."

The fighting spirit in his heart became more and more high-spirited, and he couldn't help but hold the sword hanging on his waist-the magic sword was donated to Lin Jie, but the Secret Ritual Tower did not lack high-level weapons, so he re-matched another one , titled "Redemption".

Because I was attending a formal important meeting initiated by the elders just now.

Joseph didn't wear the usual white-collar suit at the moment, but a very formal mithril armor, and the sword on his waist was not against the law.

With that old but resolute and calm face, the imposing manner is at least three times higher than usual, like a sleeping lion finally opening its eyes and showing its edge.

He restrained his emotions, coughed twice, looked at Claude and said, "Continue."

Claude has become accustomed to his teacher being very "excited" after hearing Wilde, and continued: "Wilde is uncharacteristically this time. He didn't act alone like before. He brought four other people. At present, these few people His identity is still being investigated."

"But it is basically certain that Wilde should be the customer who wants to make them a bookstore."

Joseph's expression was serious, and he agreed with Claude's guess.

Because one of the important topics in their meeting just now was how to get close to the owner of the bookstore, maximize the resources of the bookstore, and at the same time ensure the safety of the bookstore...

Of course, the last point is just a mention. They have fully realized the strength of the owner of the bookstore, and it is impossible to fully grasp the dynamics and purpose of the bookstore.

Only...they got used to it.

What they can think of, the people who first came into contact with the bookstore can naturally think of it too.

And the easiest way is to let the people you can control also contact the bookstore and buy books from the bookstore!

That's right, the Secret Ritual Tower was also preparing to do the same, but unexpectedly, Wilde who suddenly appeared seemed to be one step ahead.

"He's still as cunning as ever...Since that's the case, let's act directly, ambush him, and take them down as soon as they leave the bookstore."

A cold light flickered in Joseph's eyes, he raised his hand and dropped it, like a guillotine, it had already fallen on Wilde and his followers.

Claude nodded: "Understood, I will send someone there."

Joseph reached out and patted Claude on the shoulder, saying: "I have to report something to Elder Solomon in the past, and I will go to direct in person later, and let me know immediately if there is any situation."

"Good teacher."

Claude suddenly hesitated and said, "Melissa seems to have become enemies with someone in the combat department recently, do you want to consider intervening?"

"Oh?" Joseph was a little surprised.

Although he had already realized how badly he had neglected Melissa before, and wanted to try his best to make up for it, but Melissa had grown into something he didn't understand.

Melissa didn't want to tell him what happened in the Combat Division, and there wasn't much communication between father and daughter.

Joseph asked: "What is the specific situation... Forget it, who is it with?"

Claude said: "I had a quarrel with a few team members during a mission. She has been too popular recently, and her behavior... is perverted. She often uses arm wrestling as an excuse to challenge others. She is not very popular in the combat department. it is good."

He tried to use euphemistic words.

In fact, it was more than perverse. Since she came back from the bookstore and lay in bed for seven days, Melissa's temperament has changed drastically.

Originally, she could only be described as an eccentric brat, but she directly became a combat madman, but at the same time, her talent seemed to have suddenly opened up, and her various combat skills improved by leaps and bounds.

If you really want to describe it... it is a thorny version of young Joseph.

The light is infinite, but it is also easy to make people feel dazzling.

"Team member? That's a joke among children. It's not good if you don't have a good reputation, as long as she is happy."

Joseph shook his head, he thought it was Combat Corey, his former colleague who was at odds with him, who tripped Melissa up.

In order to cultivate a tacit understanding, the members of the same group who perform the tasks are basically at the same level, about the same age, young and energetic, and friction is inevitable.

"This is also an opportunity for her to exercise."

Joseph thought so.

...

Melissa doesn't see this as an opportunity to exercise.

She just felt that the people in front of her were noisy.

"Your father is no longer a great knight of glory. Who doesn't know that Joseph lost his hand and was willing to degenerate. Fans, how much real money do you have to contribute to him every year... I really don't know how much water those names used to have, if you are so good at intelligence, you should be very good at deception, right?"

The boy in front of him and the companion standing beside him said with a smile, and burst into a burst of laughter.

Although they were not the colleagues who were at odds with Joseph back then, they were the children of colleagues back then, and they had heard bad things about Joseph since they were young.

The leading boy was even the grandson of an old and brilliant knight named Todd.

Melissa's face was calm. The slander she had heard about Joseph over the years was a hundred times worse than this, and it wasn't worth her anger.

"Have you finished speaking? If you have finished speaking..."

Melissa drew out her knight long sword: "You're going to fight me one-on-one as you said last time, are you ready?"

These teenagers took two steps back subconsciously, but Todd suddenly said loudly: "I think you are just like your father, you can only run the train and tell lies!"

He said proudly: "I heard it from Selena. You once told her that the reason why your talent suddenly became so good was because you bought some mysterious books from a certain bookstore. Encourage her to read with you."

Todd justified his words: "It's just nonsense!"

"Those so-called books must be some ulterior spell scrolls, you are cheating!"

It was obviously the first time for those followers to hear this statement, they looked at each other, whispered to each other, and talked a lot.

Todd was even more proud, and said to them: "Melissa is a liar, that bookstore is ordinary, there is nothing special at all, I have sent Francis and his official knights to that bookstore."

"Don't worry, I won't do anything illegal. I just reported to them that the bookstore hid forbidden spell scrolls. As for whether anything will be damaged during the search, I don't know."

"In no time, you'll see that bookstore close down!"

Todd felt that his plan was perfect. He looked at Melissa and felt that this arrogant girl must have been hit this time.

Sure enough, he raised the corners of his mouth, and saw Melissa's face change, it turned pale in a flash, and she looked at them with disbelief and fear in her eyes.
