Doris couldn't help but stare at the strange yet strangely beautiful symbol on the book. Her gaze was even a little infatuated.
It seemed to have some kind of magical power, strange yet sacred.
Doris used her high level of inspiration as a prophet and her rich knowledge to peek at the meaning of the symbol.
"Seal," "Resist," "Dream," "Protection," "Retreat …"
These symbols … seemed to be targeted at the creatures of dreams.
When it came to his new business, Lin Jie smiled very warmly. "This book can help you better understand what I need to do next. If you can remember it, things will be much easier, and I won't have to spend too much effort."
He would let them preview the relevant knowledge first, so that he wouldn't have to explain and guide them bit by bit, which would cause a lot of trouble.
Although Teacher Lin was warm and kind, time was money after all. He couldn't waste it on such meaningless things.
It just so happened that he had published books on this before.
Compared to a book about heraldry, the content of his "Heraldry and Totem" book was much simpler. It was related to the totem culture and folklore of families and mysticism, which made it seem a little heterogeneous.
However, at the same time, it was more suitable for non-professionals and novices to read. Even among all his books, this book was one of the more popular ones. The first website was m.9biquge. com
Doris seemed to have woken up from her stupor when she heard his words. She placed the book on the counter and carefully picked it up. Taking a few deep breaths, she nodded solemnly and said, "I understand. I'll definitely study your work seriously."
At this moment, she maintained a calm expression on her face, but her heart was in turmoil.
Doris knew very well that she had entered a state that was close to an "omen" just now.
For a prophet, this was very illogical.
It even went against common sense.
The two forms of foresight for a prophet, "omen" and "sensing" were two extremes.
"Sensing" was a burst of inspiration in a short period of time. It was a quick prediction of the next few hours or even seconds. The shorter the time, the more difficult it was.
"Omen", on the other hand, was a prediction of a long period of time. Under normal circumstances, a prophet had to make long-term preparations. The longer the time span, the more difficult it was.
In short, it was both difficult.
There was a reason why prophets were so rare. The requirement for talent was simply too high.
If one didn't have talent and only relied on hard work, unless one was a long-lived species like the elves, even if they died, they wouldn't be able to sense when they would die.
For example, Doris had spent decades trying to find clues about the Silver Lady before she finally obtained a simple and vague prophecy poem.
Although this was partly due to the fact that the target of the prophecy was a very high level existence, it was an undeniable fact that it was difficult to become a prophet.
But now, she had almost entered the state of "omen" in a short period of time without any preparation.
Doris was certain that it was because of the book in front of her …
The fact that it could trigger Doris' inspiration meant that it was more mysterious than Doris herself. Therefore, Doris, who was looking at it directly, received a boost for a short time.
The power contained in this tiny symbol was truly terrifying.
I wonder what kind of boundless and mysterious picture the contents of this book will be?
Doris couldn't help but glance at the bookshelf behind Lin Jie. It was filled to the brim with books.
At first, she didn't pay much attention to it. But now, from the way the owner of the bookstore casually took a book from the shelf, it was a mysterious book with such great power.
The books in this bookstore weren't simple at all.
Lin Jie coughed twice. Doris, who was distracted, immediately came back to her senses and looked at him.
Lin Jie said with a serious expression, "Because this concerns your entire family, I suggest that you all take a look and learn the contents. When the time comes, I won't have to spend so much effort to 'save you all from danger'. You have to know that there are many people who have come to me for help recently. I don't have that much time to waste."
What he needed to save now was the dignity and honor of a family. It was the saving grace of a declining noble family.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was a crisis.
Moreover … by increasing the sense of crisis, the customers in front of him would understand that the situation was indeed urgent.
You're not the only one in a hurry. I'm also in a hurry. If you miss this opportunity, there won't be another one.
This was just like how clothes sellers were always in the last three days of the season change/clearance sale, shoes sellers were always saying that "the bastard boss owed 350 million and ran off with his sister-in-law. Shoes that were originally priced at 200 or 300 million are now priced at 20 yuan", and pants sellers were always saying that "there's only one pair of this size left. The customer next to me also wants to buy it".
As a seller, he even had to learn how to make up a good story.
As for why there were so many people asking for help even though there were very few customers, to the point that there wasn't enough time, he didn't know either.
As expected, Doris became nervous. But as a great sage, she didn't panic. She immediately calmed down and said, "Since there's a price for this book, there should be many copies. I can buy them for my people to study together. Don't worry, we'll definitely memorize it as soon as possible."
As for why such a book would be printed in batches with a price tag, it wasn't something she needed to consider.
Big shots had their own interests …
She knew from the beginning that all she needed to do was to satisfy him as much as possible.
Then, she would fight for the Silver Lady's approval.
Lin Jie gave a thumbs up to such a savvy customer. Then, he picked up a hard cardboard box with a buckle under the counter and turned around to take down Coats of Arms and Totems from the bookshelf.
The books on the bookshelf could appear at will. The dim lighting in the bookstore also took this into consideration.
Even if the other party felt that something was off, they would most likely think that their eyes were playing tricks on them.
Doris saw this and her pupils shrank, but she didn't say anything.
She secretly thought that this bookshelf was probably a space-related casting tool.
"There are only 30 books for now. I'll pack them all for you."
Bam!
Lin Jie placed the cardboard box on the counter.
No matter how dim the lighting was, even a fool would know that something was wrong if he took 100 books from the bookshelf at once.
So Lin Jie still only took 30 books. Wouldn't it be great if he could still engage in hunger marketing?
Doris nodded and said solemnly, "Thank you very much for your guidance to our family. If there's a chance to restore our glory, the Iris Family is willing to serve you."

At this moment, less than 100 meters away from the bookstore were the remains of the battle.
An area of more than 1,000 meters had been mercilessly destroyed and turned into ruins.
People from the Secret Ritual Tower and the Truth Society were searching for clues and corpses in the ruins.
There were also some people near the houses that hadn't been affected but had witnessed the battle. They were in charge of cleaning up the aftermath.
For example, making people lose their memories.
"Chief, Mister Andrew from the Truth Society said that he's conducting a spell appraisal. Please don't wander around to avoid damaging the remaining aether traces …"
Yue Sefu waved his hand impatiently and interrupted, "What's the point of appraising!"
He pointed at the surrounding ruins, "Letting a destructive dark Magus do whatever he wants in Nuo Jin, this is the Truth Society's aether monitoring network. What a joke."
He was mocking without restraint, and the people from the Truth Society obviously heard it. However, everyone knew the temper of this former Radiant Grand Knight, so they could only swallow their anger.
"Uh …" The subordinate from the Intelligence Department wiped his cold sweat, then said, "The dark Magi's target is that bookstore. Would you like to investigate?"
Yue Sefu suddenly turned his head, narrowed his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Don't go!"
"But, the Truth Society seems to …"
"Let them come back!"
