Lin Jie saw that apart from looking pale and tired, Doris's clothes were not messy. He relaxed a little.
He shook his head and said, "No, the rain is too heavy. Your voices were almost completely covered."
Doris was stunned.
She had used the Mute Barrier to block out the sound, and the Tree World Shelter had blocked out almost all the damage.
The bookstore and the surrounding buildings within a hundred meters were undamaged.
It was obviously because of the barrier …
Wait, could it be that she had heard something else? The rain … was referring to something else?
Although she did not understand, from the words of the little hunter, she could tell that Nuo Jin was currently in a period of turbulence.
The crazy dark adepts from before had proven this point.
Hunters, Magi, Secret Ritual Tower, and the Truth Society were all involved, forming a huge whirlpool.
In this whirlpool, even a battle between two Annihilation-grade Magi would be nothing more than a small splash. Remember this: http://m.9biquge.com
Their voices disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving almost nothing behind.
Was this the vision of a truly powerful person?
Doris walked over and sat down. She did not dare to guess what role the owner of the bookstore had played in this "rain".
For an Annihilation-grade dark Magus to ignore the rules and come knocking on his door, even if he was not the main culprit, it would have a huge impact.
She just did not know if this impact was positive or negative.
She smiled conservatively and said, "Mm, it's good that they did not disturb you. They will definitely not disturb you in the future."
Lin Jie could not help but mention the weather in Nuo Jin. "The situation in Nuo Jin has been terrible recently, but for some reason, I have more customers. Oh, don't misunderstand. I'm not gloating or hoping that the situation will get worse."
"Although I have more customers recently, I still prefer the days when there were very few customers but my life was as peaceful as an old man's. When I was bored, I could get some sun and read some books. It wasn't boring."
He looked at the dark streets outside and said with a smile full of positive energy, "I believe that with everyone's joint efforts, the situation will definitely get better and better."
The smile on Doris' face froze.
'Everyone's hard work? Are you referring to the kind of destructive spell like' Extreme Sun Death Ray 'that almost razed everything within a thousand meters to the ground … hard work?'
Moreover, the days of "sunbathing and reading books like an old man" sounded very boring, okay?
Come to think of it, the whole thing was probably sarcastic …
So, the current situation is because you feel that there are too few customers and you can only read books, which is very boring, so you deliberately created this situation?
Silver Lady, this Lord Dependent of yours doesn't seem to have a good personality.
Lin Jie's heart skipped a beat when he saw that the customer's expression was getting worse and worse.
How could he forget that it was raining and windy outside? If Little Missy went out to help deal with those unfriendly people, she would definitely be physically and mentally exhausted.
As the beneficiary, he was still talking about unity. This fat sheep … no, should he keep the customers? Should the bookstore continue to operate?
Sigh, what a blunder.
What she needed now was warmth and care.
He retracted his gaze and pushed the teacup on the table over. "Let's not talk about this anymore. It's been hard on you. Have a cup of tea and take a rest."
"… Okay." Doris took the cup, and her expression became more reserved.
After all, the Lord Dependent in front of her could not only decide the fate of the Iris Family, but he also seemed to be temperamental and liked to play with people and start fights.
She looked at the cup in front of her and hesitated as she looked at the floating tea leaves.
Ever since tea leaves were introduced from the North, drinking tea had become a common tradition in Nuo Jin. However, most people drank black tea with sugar and milk. Very few people would simply brew and stir-fry tea leaves.
Doris had not interacted with the outside world for a long time and was very unfamiliar with these human things.
The so-called 'rental house' from before was actually just a knock out of the owner.
She carefully and awkwardly took a sip and felt that the taste was very strange. There was a kind of fragrance in the bitterness, but this natural feeling was very compatible with the elves themselves.
Coupled with the warm tea, it was indeed very comfortable.
Doris narrowed her eyes happily and let out a long breath. She put down the teacup and thought to herself, The owner of the bookstore is not only calm in the face of the destructive battle outside, but also made a cup of tea to drink …
Not only did he make a cup of tea for himself, but he also made a cup for her …
It seemed that he was already confident about the outcome of this battle. He just set up a necessary test for her to observe her performance.
From the current attitude, the owner of the bookstore seemed to be quite satisfied.
Doris calmed herself down and said, "Can we continue our conversation now?"
Lin Jie nodded and said seriously, "Yes, I can help you with your problem. However, it won't be easy. It will be a long process to regain recognition. I will do my best, but the most important thing is still your cooperation."
Based on what she said, she belonged to a noble family called the Iris Family.
Moreover, this family once had a glorious history.
However, due to some unforeseen circumstances, they lost the complete meaning of the family emblem. Perhaps even the family history was lost as well. Gradually, they were not recognized by the other nobles and declined.
It was a relatively large project to restore and fill in a reasonable way. Moreover, they could not expose their own people, nor could they be half-baked. If there was no reliable person to do it, there would be endless trouble.
The other party came to him because of her trust in Ji Zhixu. Naturally, he had to get the real thing.
He was not talented, but he had done some research on heraldry.
Relying on the fact that there was almost no knowledge of heraldry in the country, and through a friend, he obtained the authorization of the Heraldry Society to publish a book called "Heraldry and Totems". It was combined with "Rituals and Folklore" to be sold as a series.
Lin Jie took the book from the bookshelf behind him and handed it to the elven lady opposite him.
"Take this book and read it carefully first. It will be helpful in the future. It won't be that easy to regain glory."
Doris suppressed the throbbing in her heart and took it.
At first glance, she was attracted by the strange symbol on the cover.
The center of the twisted pentagram seemed to be looking at her eyes, filled with a sense of holiness.
The title of the book — Ancient Seal.
