Bella's heart was pounding.
She felt as if she had finally caught a glimpse of the truth behind the mysterious bookstore owner's hazy appearance.
If it was traced back to the First Era, then Mister Lin could not have been a human because humans did not exist on a large scale back then. Even their existence was a problem.
Secondly, he could not have been an elf because the elves were born from the bodies of giants. After the giants died in a large-scale war, the elves gradually gained power and established the elven kingdom. They slowly replaced the giants.
In the broken history of the past, the most famous existences with absolute power were the four original witches. However, these witches had only ever appeared in female form, so they could be ruled out.
Secondly, there were a few famous dragons among the ancient dragons. For example, there was the Dragon of Disaster, Bakak, who represented destruction, the Dragon of Disaster, Felix, who represented wisdom, and the Sky Dragon, Primrose, who represented aether.
However, the Sky Dragon could be ruled out.
The fossilized heart they had brought was from the Sky Dragon. It proved that Primrose had died in the First Era.
As a dragon that was born from aether, every part of its body was a very precious and powerful spellcasting material. The heart was the core that stored and transformed aether. It was very precious.
The aether power in the heart did not need to be done. All it needed to do was spend some aether to detonate it. It could kill an Annihilation class.
Thinking about it, normal people would not waste such a treasure. If the heart was used to make the core of a large magic circle or a magic staff, it could greatly increase one's power. Remember: m.9biquge.com
Other than that, there were some very ancient elemental creatures in the First Era, such as the light element scholar Alfred.
Bella counted the first era's great beings that she knew, but she was limited by what she had learned. She felt like she did not know enough.
The head maid looked at her master and secretly decided to investigate the history of the First Epoch.
It did not matter if she knew Mister Lin's true identity or not. The important thing was that if he was an immortal, he would not accept Cherry. It was not just a matter of race. It was a difference in the nature of life.
It was like a human could not fall in love with an ant. It was a one-sided love that was destined to be fruitless.
"As Master's best assistant, I should be responsible for letting Master understand this in time and minimize the possible negative consequences."
Bella thought to herself.
According to the current signs, the probability of Boss Lin himself being an Ancient Dragon was relatively high. And from the analysis of his personality and behavior, it was unlikely that he was the Dragon of Disaster, Bakak, who symbolized destruction.
Opening a bookstore, good at guiding people, full of wisdom, omniscient and omnipotent … The Spring Source Dragon, Felix, symbolized wisdom, and according to legends, held all the knowledge in the world. He was almost exactly the same as the owner of the bookstore.
According to Bella's evaluation, the Source Dragon was only Annihilation class. Mister Lin's power was far beyond God class. That was still to be seen.
After exchanging a few polite words with Cherry out of habit, Lin Jie suddenly felt that Cherry's personal maid, whom he had only met twice and chatted with for a short while, was looking at him in a strange way.
There was a hint of scrutiny in his eyes, as if he was looking at a suspicious person.
On the other hand, when she looked at Cherry, she pursed her lips as if she couldn't bear it.
Lin Jie was familiar with this. Wasn't this a typical eight o 'clock soap opera, where a rich young lady fell in love with a poor boy who opened a bookstore, and her personal maid was so angry that she wanted to break up the couple?
Lin Jie raised his eyebrows. Although it wasn't that exaggerated, Cherry had spent a lot of money to give him a fossil as a gift, so there might be people who were dissatisfied with it.
If Bella wanted to stop Cherry from contacting him, it was because of Cherry's consideration, so it was understandable.
He wondered if there would be a scene where she threw a stack of money at his face … Ahem, he didn't expect such a scene at all. His friendship with Cherry couldn't be bought with money!
Yes, the Dome Church had been using cruel methods to deal with their enemies for many years, so they must have plundered a large amount of wealth … Killing people and raiding houses were all part of the package, so there was no reason for the Dome Church to not take advantage of the situation.
Even if they didn't steal anything, the Dome Church had so many believers. They had bought a huge amount of money for the indulgences every year. They had built churches everywhere. The Pope, the Saintess, and the Apostles' food and clothing were all money.
If they could successfully take down the Dome Church and let Vincent take over, with the kind and honest character of the priest, the first thing he would do would be to use the money to repair charity facilities and help the poor. However, it was obvious that these things would never be used up.
So, the rest of the stolen money …
Would be donated to the Willow Tree Chamber of Commerce.
He believed that Cherry would use it in the right way. It would be a return gift.
Lin Jie straightened his back as he thought so. His eyes met Bella's, and he showed a kind smile.
Bella seemed to be frightened. Her eyes flashed. Mr. Lin had sensed my thoughts?
He smiled at me. Did he admit it … He was a dragon!
Lin Jie retrieved his eyes and moved the fossil box aside. He smiled at Cherry. "Didn't you say that you came here because you didn't understand a book and wanted to ask me for advice?"
Cherry's blush faded a little. She adjusted her expression and nodded. "That book is hidden in Congreve's secret room. It's well protected."
She turned her head and signaled Bella. The latter took the book out from under her skirt.
Under her skirt?
Lin Jie had a small question mark in his mind. He thought for a while. This kind of maid skirt should have a lot of pockets. It was not strange to put a book in it.
He took the book and squinted his eyes slightly. There were no words on the cover of the book. The light brown cover had a very strange texture. It was like leather, but it was more delicate and soft than ordinary leather. There were also some faint lines. When his fingers brushed past it, he vaguely felt as if he was touching skin …
No, maybe it wasn't an illusion.
Lin Jie stared at the book in his hand. A very firm idea popped up in his mind.
Human Skin Book.
It was a book made from the skin of a complete human being.
Of course, Lin Jie wasn't so sure because he had seen something similar before.
When he was investigating folk customs, he had met a village with a strange custom. That village was located deep in the forest. They would use a piece of skin from a dead person to make a human skin drum.
Every time the village held a sacrificial ceremony, each family would take out the human skin drum and beat it. It was a symbol of summoning the spirit and accepting the worship of the villagers.
This example was also mentioned in the book 'Rituals and Folk Custom' that he had given to Old Wang.
At that time, due to his curiosity and his research purpose, he asked the villagers to observe the human skin drum. Unexpectedly, the villagers agreed enthusiastically.
The feeling he felt at that time was exactly the same as the cover of the book in his hand …
