Chapter 385

As soon as Ji Bonong's words fell, the whole banquet began to depress and commotion.

Everyone stared at the five books in unison, as if their eyes were glued. No matter what thoughts they had in their minds before, there was only one thought left at this moment - to get them!

Not all those who attended the banquet were extraordinary people, there were also many ordinary people, but even if they didn't understand what was attracting them at this time, they were caught by the rising and strong instinct like a hound chasing a hare.

The mystery of the book, just its appearance, is enough to fascinate people, generating endless curiosity and desire.

Although this book cover looks ordinary, its style is unprecedented, as if it came from another world, exuding an incompatible atmosphere, so eye-catching, but when you recall it carefully, you feel that they have no impression in your mind. It seems that only when you really own them can you see their truth.

Perhaps they are lost jewels somewhere, just waiting to be discovered?

Otherwise, why would the well-known Luoer Resource Development Company cooperate with that unknown bookstore owner and announce the cooperation at his daughter's birthday party.

These books must be of great value!

As for the extraordinary, the moment these books appeared in their field of vision, their inspiration had already been aroused, as if they were thrown into a storm, and the raindrops that hit their heads and faces were the terrifying aura emanating from these books.

The things they read in these books are different, but they all point to the pinnacle of power, pointing to a certain desire deep in their hearts...

Even if I can't get it, I can't let other people get it.

The people who raised their heads and stared straight at the books, their gazes were naked and greedy, seemed to have turned into a group of wild beasts hunting for their prey in the dark in an instant, which made people shudder.

...

Odd Renoff is a panic-level dark wizard from the central organization of the Central District, and his position is the supervisor.

Few people—even superhumans—have heard of this institution.

But in fact, this institution is closely related to a well-known department and governs the latter, that is, the Central Police Department.

Under normal circumstances, if people refer to something as "Central District Instructions", "Central District Inspiration" and so on, what the Central District actually refers to is the central organization of the Central District.

It's just that most people obviously think that the central area refers to those high-status nobles and extraordinary people who live in the central area.

There will even be some ignorant mortals who regard Rolle Resources as the one who gives orders.

If Odd heard such a statement, he would just scoff.

Those nobles are nothing more than ants, and the superhumans are even more scattered, but... it is the most absurd Luoer resource, which is a little close to the truth.

Because Rolle's resources are also directly under the central organization.

Thousands of years ago, when Nuojin was still a human kingdom, and Luoer Resources was still an expeditionary army sent by the country to the underground ruins, the latter was the tool of the former.

Thousands of years later, Nuojin has become a man-made steel city, the person in power at that time has become the central organization for dispatching everything, and the army forged with iron and blood has put on the cloak of a company.

However, a tool is still a tool, no matter how powerful it looks, it can only serve its master.

And in order to prevent tools from having wrong ideas, the position of supervisor came into being.

Of course, when Ji Bonong held a banquet every year and invited rich businessmen and extraordinary people from all walks of life to this very "dangerous" time, it was impossible for Odd, as a supervisor, to be absent.

As early as when Lin Jie appeared, Aude had already reported to his superiors.

Although Lin Jie's information has long been blocked by the Secret Ritual Tower, the center is naturally qualified to call the database, and the owner of the bookstore is exactly the center's focus.

When there was an abnormality afterwards, especially when Greg asked Lin Jie for help, he would report according to different levels as usual.

But the reply given by the center is always to continue to observe.

Aode couldn't figure out the meaning of the above, so he had to stay vigilant and always observe the movements of Ji Bonong and Lin Jie.

After finally waiting for the banquet to end, I thought this work could end smoothly.

Unexpectedly, such an accident would happen——

Luoer resources, and bookstores...cooperate? !

Odd suddenly opened his eyes wide, and his subconscious first reaction was to contact the center to report the situation, and the first thought in his mind was "I really want to make a great contribution this time"!

The superiors have always suspected that Ji Bonong has a different heart, but this guy hides it very deeply and usually doesn't show anything. As for his daughter, she should have died long ago...

It's just that I didn't expect to have something to do with that mysterious bookstore later.

But even if the higher-ups can allow Ji Zhixu to be involved with the bookstore, it is absolutely impossible to allow Luoer Resources to formally cooperate with the bookstore owner.

This time, as long as he reported the situation immediately, he really caught Ji Bonong's fox tail. As a supervisor, this is the greatest credit!

But such thoughts can only last until he sees those five books.

"That is……?!"

Odd's action of launching the communication spell stopped in mid-air, and he stared at the books without blinking.

His gaze changed from dazed, confused, shocked, and finally turned into bottomless greed.

After a while, he lowered his hands, gave up the communication spell, still stared at the books, and then slowly retreated into the shadow behind him, blending into the darkness and disappearing.

He was already in the corner, and such silent movements did not attract anyone's attention.

But at the same time, he could also feel that many of the extraordinary beings hidden above the banquet had done the same thing as him.

...

Franka, who represented her White Wizard family to attend the banquet, was sitting in the corner of the hall. She sat nervously on her seat, with her hands on her knees in her long skirt, and looked around in a daze.

Although she felt that the atmosphere suddenly became wrong, she didn't know what happened.

The cooperation between Rolle Resources and a bookstore to develop a new business is indeed a major event worthy of surprise and attention, but the reaction of others is obviously very wrong...

The girl looked at the terrifying smiles frozen like sculptures on the faces of those people, and the strange greedy light in the eyes, she couldn't help shrinking her neck.

Could it be that... are there any differences in those books?

Thinking of this, the girl plucked up her courage again, turned her head sideways, and looked around the male companion and guard in front of her, trying to see the appearance of those books clearly.

Unfortunately, with her ordinary eyesight, even with all her strength, she could only see clearly the name on the book closest to her direction.

"Classic... home cooking... a thousand... examples...?"

Franka stumbled and talked to herself, a big question mark appeared on her head.

She blinked in confusion, making sure she was right.

Luoer Resources cooperates with that bookstore and sells... cookbooks?

Franka felt that she really wanted to say something to evaluate this unreasonable thing, but after thinking about it, even if she sold recipes, there was nothing to criticize.

Maybe, maybe it was the owner of the bookstore who seemed very mysterious from the beginning, and wanted to test the sincerity of Luo Er's resources cooperation?

Hmm...it makes sense when you think about it that way.

But using such a playful method to test sincerity, isn't that person afraid that Luo Er's resources will turn his face? Or is he fearless?

Franka pinched the corner of her clothes, and asked her male partner in a low voice: "Mike... who is the owner of the bookstore?"

The young man in front of him turned his head, he had a handsome and deep face, but Franka knew that he was actually a hunter with good strength and mental state below the threshold.

Injected with the filthy blood from the god-level dream beast Mobius snake.

That is the snake from the distorted space in the dream, connecting all the distances in the world.

Although Franka's talent as an extraordinary person is almost zero, she is the only descendant of the patriarch of the family. Even if she is a child born to an ordinary person, she is given the strictest protection.

But at this moment, Mike's eyes had completely turned into snake pupils, the sides of his face and neck were covered with scales, and the dark purple blood vessels burst out, as if he was about to lose control.

But strings of runes emerged from his skin, like chains, firmly imprisoning his movements, preventing him from harming his master at all, and retaining a bit of sanity.

"hiss……"

Mike was forced to kneel down, looked at his little master, vomited the snake letter, his face was full of pain, he shook his head, trying to suppress himself, but it was still difficult to resist the call from instinct, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "Yes... He is... God... I see... the book... want to..."

He raised his head, with a greedy expression, and tremblingly said: "Master, do you want a book?"

Franka was still thinking about the meaning of "God", she said "Hey", and couldn't help but look at the classic home cooking recipe, her face flushed with embarrassment.

As a child of a wizarding family, it's really shameful not to be gifted with magic.

But... She is really a little more interested in cooking.

"Okay." Franca stretched out a finger pretending to be embarrassed, and said, "I can only buy one copy. Go back and tell me it was your suggestion!"

Mike lowered his head and covered the corner of his mouth: "Okay."

...

"Five books?!"

Greg looked at the five books in astonishment, dumbfounded, and couldn't even take care of his heavy heart.

Even though witnessing the great cause of going back in time, the final result is still that Joseph and Wilde are suspected to have died together, only the news that Melissa was sent to a safe point, even the strongest heart has been tortured to the point of exhaustion.

He didn't have the courage to ask Boss Lin any more questions, and spent the last two days in a daze.

I can only believe that Joseph is not dead.

However, at this moment, the appearance of those five books suddenly dragged him out of his despair, and he was covered in a kind of extreme panic instead.

Greg's thoughts seemed to go back to the day when he broke into the side hall, Boss Lin and Ji Bonong... So they were talking about this matter at that time? !

But he and everyone else were all preoccupied with Joseph's safety at that time. Who would have thought that... this devil would take out five books in one go, and it seems that they will be printed in batches in the future ? ! ! !

"What the hell is he trying to do?"

Greg was terrified, and he could almost think of the chaotic future of NUO Jin... We must report this matter to the Secret Ritual Tower as soon as possible!

Secret Ritual Tower...

He suddenly had a slight hesitation.

Even Teacher Joseph is a pawn they use to try and curry favor with Lin Jie... In this case, will they really care?

"No no no, what am I thinking!"

Greg shook his head suddenly, gritted his teeth, and dialed the communicator.

Charlotte was holding the book in her arms, and looked at him with a smile: "Don't waste your efforts, no one will come to be this savior. When the end comes, everyone just protects themselves, who will come?" Sacrifice yourself."

Greg said coldly: "Wilde is dead, and the mob of Corpse Eaters will be besieged immediately. Do you still have the mood to make sarcastic remarks here?"

Charlotte's smile remained unchanged: "Death is not eternal. If Lord Wilde returns to the embrace of God, I will be the next successor and continue to control the Corpse Eater—if I leave here, it means that the Corpse Eater will continue Existence, and now is a great time for you, a trainee knight, to become a full-time member..."

The corners of her mouth turned up, forming a mocking arc: "You, dare to stop me?"

"..."

Greg clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

But he had to admit that he was really not sure about keeping Charlotte.

"Ah……"

Charlotte's smile deepened: "One day, you will understand which is the right path."

...

The spies of the Ash Chamber of Commerce hidden in the crowd quietly tapped unknown codes on the communication device in their hands, using special spells to convey them.

Members of the dark elf elder faction of the Ash Chamber of Commerce who were thousands of miles away began to piece together the information bit by bit.

"That bookstore owner actually cooperated with Rolle Resources?! And Wilde is dead..."

In the dark underground, a man said in surprise, "Why is this? Didn't it mean that Qi Li's ability came from the bookstore... Is he going to give up Qi Li?!"

"I didn't expect that the two mortals of Ji's family could get such a fate..."

Another old voice said, "After the death of the spider mother who cut the fate, the fate of the dark elves has become more and more bleak."

"If that's the case, it's not bad for us. Once Qi Li loses her backing, wouldn't it be easy for us?" Another woman laughed softly, "It's just a mixed race, what right does it have to get involved in the Ash Tree Chamber of Commerce?" .”

The man said: "In this case, when Qi Li comes back this time, let's do it."

...

"Boss Lin, what do you think?"

Ji Bonong held the five books in his hands. After the five books were displayed, they were solemnly put into the specially prepared exquisite brass box, which was very ceremonial.

As expected... This group of people who came to Miss Ji's banquet did not come to sincerely congratulate them at all. They were all a group of sharks who smelled blood and wanted to pry some Luoer resources from Ji Bonong's mouth. .

As long as there is interest, they can be driven.

Who doesn't want to be a pig on the wind?

Lin Jie looked at the participants below who were blinded by interests, narrowed his eyes, and smiled: "Oh, oh, it's just as long as you think it's suitable, I think these books should be very good. After all, they are books with a relatively low barrier to entry.”

"If more people like these samples, you can come to me to get more. After all, I still hope that more people can share these interesting books..."

Ji Bonong glanced at the crowd below who were like a pack of wolves with obvious ambitions, and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely satisfy you."

After he finished speaking, he loudly announced that the banquet was successfully concluded. The crowd in the banquet hall commotioned for a while, and then dispersed.

Lin Jie and Ji Bonong chatted for a while in the side hall, Boss Lin looked at the sky, stood up and said, "Okay, it's almost time, thank you very much Mr. Ji and Miss Ji for allowing me to spend time here Had a very pleasant three days.”

Ji's father and daughter immediately said: "This is our honor!"

They sent Lin Jie to the door, and the black-haired young man suddenly raised his head as if aware of it, and said in surprise, "The snow has stopped..."

He turned his head, waved his hand and smiled and said, "Let's send it here, but the snow hasn't melted yet, so be careful on the way back."
