"This is?"

Lin Jie's eyes fell on the statue on the counter, and he reached out and took a look: "Gargoyle?"

The statue is about thirty centimeters high and ten centimeters wide, one third of which is the base and two thirds the main body.

The overall shape is a half-human, half-beast monster squatting on a pedestal.

It has the wings and tail of a bat, and has two short horns on its head, like a demon.

I really don't know how Pharaoh hides it in his clothes.

But from Lin Jie's point of view, the value of this statue is definitely not cheap, the workmanship is very fine, and the carving is lifelike.

The gargoyle's eyes seemed to be gleaming with evil red light, as if it were about to come to life at any moment.

Seeing that Lin Jie's heart suddenly burst, there was a sense of something wrong in an instant.

Very scary.

However, the rough stone texture in the palm reminded Lin Jie that this was just a statue.

"Yes." Wilde nodded: "Although it's not a very valuable thing, it's not a chance compared to your help to me, but please accept my gratitude."

"The next time I come, I will bring a more precious gift."

Lin Jie took a look at the statue, and habitually wanted to refuse, but then he remembered that the humility of the Orientals does not apply here.

He could see that Lao Wang really wanted to give him some gifts to express his gratitude.

If he refuses, it will make the other party feel that he is disgusting the gift, or that the friendship is not deep enough, which is very damaging to the relationship.

And the gargoyle is a bit like China's Shi Gandang.

Mainly used to ward off evil spirits.

Pharaoh's thoughts and blessings, he felt it!

Whether in terms of value or sense, it seems that there is really no need for refusal.

Then accept this "native product".

Lin Jie put the statue on the counter and praised with a smile: "It's a very beautiful piece of art. For me, it really suits my appetite. I'm looking forward to what gifts you will bring next time."

Wilde's face was full of joy, and he was secretly relieved.

This gargoyle he brought is his collection for many years, and it is also a work that he really graduated from his teacher.

It is the highest level gargoyle he has ever created.

The fragments from the ancient ruins of the Gate of the Undead were used as raw materials, and the life vigor condensed by the blood and souls of 990 people was poured into it.

Its hard skin is invulnerable, its sharp minions tear people to pieces, its powerful wings give it quick mobility, and it can automatically recognize killing intent. Its combat effectiveness is comparable to that of a panic-level warrior.

In the wizard's creation, Wilde's level has undoubtedly reached the pinnacle.

Originally, he still had a vague smugness and joy in his heart, and wanted to show Lin Jie his masterpiece.

However, when he heard the word "artwork", Wilde's smugness disappeared in an instant, and he became sober.

Yes, but a panic-level gargoyle.

The value of Mr. Lin's random book is enough to be worth tens of millions of gargoyles!

It seems that his present this time is really nothing in the eyes of high-ranking people.

Alas, Mr. Lin is still so kind, expressing praise from another angle and taking care of his mentality.

But it's alright!

He has already prepared the next gift, which is an absolute heavy gift. He believes that even if it is a god-level existence, it must be taken seriously!

"You will be satisfied."

The eyes of the old man under the brim of his hat flickered slightly, he stepped back, pushed the door, and left the bookstore.

Lin Jie waved goodbye and sighed.

Looking at the heavy rain outside, he felt that today's business should end there.

Being able to receive two guests in such bad weather is already a very small probability, and it is impossible to expect more.

"Sure enough, maintaining a good attitude will make it easier to have good luck."

Lin Jie sighed and took a sip of tea, played with the gargoyle for a while, and then put it next to the counter.

Against the background of the dim light, the hideous statue like a real demon sat on the pedestal, as if ready to spread its wings for hunting at any time.

In a way, this gargoyle is a good match for his bookstore.

He thought about it, turned the gargoyle around, and turned his red eyes toward the door.

This way, even if a thief comes in.

Not to mention the big night, even in the daytime, you have to be startled suddenly.

Deterrent.

Simply nice.

Lin Jie nodded with satisfaction, cleaned up the counter, and was cleaning up the teacup, when suddenly his pupils shrank.

I saw the water stains on the table move slowly, condensing into words - "Long time no see"!

He stood up abruptly.

His eyes were fixed on the table.

A familiar feeling suddenly surged up, just like coming to the door of this bookstore three years ago.

He instantly understood that the man behind the scenes who transported him to another world back then appeared again after three years!

"It's you!" Lin Jie calmed down, took a deep breath, and sat down again: "It's really been a long time... So, now that I appear again, did you finally think of the price I should pay?"

He couldn't help but feel a little resentful: "Speaking of which, I didn't make it clear what the conditions were at first, so I came here in a daze, if it wasn't for the fact that some of the customers were rich and willing to sponsor me to open a bookstore, I would have starved to death! "

"Are you some kind of devil, the kind that trades souls?"

The water stain became the word "not" again.

Lin Jie exhaled: "Well, it doesn't look like it, where can there be such a slow-moving devil."

In various literary works and myths and legends, the existence of the devil should always try his best to extract benefits for himself.

"Forget it, let's just say it, what do you need me to do?"

He sat upright with his hands folded, looking at the water stains on the counter.

Being three years late, he doesn't mind paying the price he should.

Not to mention that he himself still attaches great importance to the spirit of the contract.

Although the other party did not specify the conditions of the transaction at the time, it was indeed a fact that he helped him realize his wish.

Having enjoyed the dividends from the establishment of the contract for three years in advance, it is calculated that he earned it.

And judging from his feelings, this existence summoned by the ritual has a very gentle attitude, and it should belong to the category of "good gods" like Aladdin's magic lamp.

But then, he was surprised to see that the water stain turned into "you have done it, I woke up because of this".

Lin Jie leaned back, his thoughts flying: "So after you helped me fulfill my wish, I was asleep for three years, until I did something and you gained some energy from it, etc., and finally woke up. come over?"

"Yes."

"..." Lin Jie knocked on the table, "Is it because I asked Lao Wang to recommend my book to others?"

"Yes."

"So, that's what you want me to do, and the price I'll have to pay?—let other people recommend and spread the book I've written?"

"Yes."

"It's good for you?"

"Yes."

Great, concise and to the point.

"Huh...then, no problem at all, I'll try my best."

Lin Jie said solemnly, the water stains on the counter table disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if nothing had happened.

n\u003e1

Wilde's figure disappeared in the rain shortly after.

In the foggy alley, half of a figure protruded, the raindrops on the hood splashed, and the falcon-like eyes stared at the place where Wilde disappeared, and took out his mobile phone.

The power of the ether is circulating in the air, and the silent barrier is operating.

"Here is Jack. Report that the trace of Wilde, the Faceless Man with Black Scales, was found on No. 23 Street in Nuojin. It is suspected that he was involved in the hunter's infighting."

"In addition, he stopped in a bookstore for about an hour, very suspicious - I suspect that this bookstore may be a secret stronghold of the dark wizards."
