I’m Really Not The Demon God’s Lackey

Theodore is a used bookseller.

Because it was passed down from generation to generation, when he was about twelve years old, he began to help his father manage a bookstore called Tulip

After that, he worked in this industry for 30 years, which is enough to be called a senior, and he is also a little famous in Nuojin.

In addition to buying and selling second-hand books, he also collects orphans or books that interest him, which is his personal hobby

In other words, everyone who runs a bookstore has more or less special feelings for books.

However, it was this common hobby that got him into a lot of trouble.

Theodore had no way of judging how big the trouble was, but he vaguely understood that it was probably not his own.

Booksellers can do it.

Even if he has some friendship with some real power aristocrats in the central district because of some out-of-print precious books, he has no relationship at all.

usefulness.

Because things have gone beyond what can be expected, and rushed in a direction unknown to ordinary people

Theodore received the book from a downtown smuggler.

It is strictly forbidden to travel between the upper and lower urban areas. The only passage is underground in the central area, which is guarded by Rolle Resources and the Central Army.

Theoretically speaking, it is impossible for smuggling to occur, and it is not known where the other party came from.

The guy's tone was very tight, and he refused to say anything. Theodore naturally knew the rules and didn't ask questions.

But there is no doubt that smuggling between upper and lower urban areas can bring huge benefits, not just books, but many more

Add something of value.

This book was just sold by the other side by the way - an incomprehensible and incomplete ancient book.

It happened that Theodore was more interested in this kind of special book, so after getting this news, he asked the other party to

Secretly made a deal and got the book.

But I don't know which link went wrong, which caused the news to leak suddenly.

It just disappeared from the world, and there was no news.

The middleman whom Theodore had asked for also found no news, and only left a sentence when he visited in a hurry a few days before his disappearance.

"Don't admit it!

Just when Theodore was puzzled and vacillated, things went quiet for a while.

He almost forgot, until suddenly a guest came to ask about the book.

"I know from Juliana, you have goods here from downtown, I'm very interested in these, can you show me?

Julina is another middleman and long-term partner that Theodore knows, and the guests who are introduced are very reliable.

Spectrum and trustworthy.

Theodore didn't take it to heart, thinking that no one has come to buy the things brought by the city for a long time, so he will bring the other party with him.

Go inside and show off your collection.

But the words were all in his throat, and he suddenly remembered that the missing middleman stared at him like a trapped beast before leaving.

eyes.

"Don't admit it!"

Theodore looked into the deeper and more sincere eyes of the guest, out of an instinctive intuition that did not know where it came from.

, he showed an embarrassed look without changing his face, and said that because he felt dangerous, he had already entrusted the missing middleman.

People have changed hands all over the place.

"I'm so sorry.

Theodore said so.

The guest suddenly fell silent, stared at his face for more than half a minute, and then said softly, "That's a pity."

Then left.

Theodore breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously, only to find that his back was soaked with sweat, and he was glad that he remembered

the warning.

But he was clearly too happy too soon.

After that, the whole thing really starts.

Every once in a while, some people would come to ask him about the book in his hand, and there were more people who were obviously wrong among the guests he received every day.

Theodore could sense that several of them were clearly ill-intentioned, but there seemed to be some scruples he didn't know about that prevented him from taking more progressive moves.

He once heard one of the guests muttering to himself: "The bookstore? Not another one, right?"

Then the man looked at Theodore with unpredictable guesswork in his eyes, as if he was thinking about whether he might be an alien creature, a very bizarre look.

Theodore seemed to understand something vaguely, the so-called fear seems to be because of a certain bookstore, which made them all have a sense of awe for the "bookstore".

I don't know what bookstore it is that can make them avoid snakes and scorpions?

But this kind of fear did not last long. As more and more people came to visit, those people's eyes gradually disappeared, and their words became more and more oppressive.

Crisis came quietly.

Until one day, Theodore inadvertently saw a guest who came to ask about the book in his hand, walking out of the depression.

After Jinxiang Bookstore, it turned into an old man at the corner.

eagle!

That's right, straight from a human to a bird!

And before the eagle flew away, it deliberately turned back

Looking at his eyes, it is full of naked malice, and there is no longer any part.

Bo cover up.

Theodore immediately understood that he was really putting on a big deal!

He had long heard that Nuo Jin had some existence beyond mortals

"Extraordinary", including those who are in the flow

Wizards, knights, elves, or dragons appearing in the legends passed down to this day!

But he had never seen it before, so he took it as a joke after dinner.

But now, he really met!

And, it's all about him.

This realization just made his scalp go crazy.

Theodore panicked - after a while, he finally calmed down, remembering that Rolle Resources was on the 23rd and 24th a while ago.

Advertisements for the new business district between streets No.

Thinking of the huge resources of Rolle, no matter what these extraordinary people are, it is impossible to start there, right?

Theodore was non-stop, at all costs, got the contract of one of the stores, and successfully sold the goods at the fastest speed.

The shop and most of the things in the shop have been relocated here.

"I hope Rolle Resources can make them jealous, but if they still chase after them, what should I do?"

Theodore could only smile bitterly.

What can he do as an ordinary person with no power?

"What the hell is this book?"

Theodore looked at the book in his hand, and couldn't help but murmured this question that came from his heart but could not be answered and dared not ask.

He also secretly took it out and looked at it, but he couldn't understand what was written on it at all.

It's a book, but it's actually more like a notebook. It's all handwritten, and some incomprehensible hand-painting.

Patterns, lots of pages with mutilations, and blood stains.

In addition, the few words that can only be understood are also meaninglessly scattered throughout the pages, and the handwriting is very

It's weird, like a child who has just learned to read and copy a few words, with a lot of suspected annotations drawn next to it.

Theodore thought for a long time, and after repeated comparisons, he vaguely felt that the writing form of this book was very similar to

Some kind of research note?

ps1: I thought yesterday that I would lie down and rest for a while after taking the medicine, and then I fell asleep. I heard that I sleep like this.

I feel more fragrant, I didn't expect it to be like this at all

It's very fragrant! -Sleep till dawn! I recommend everyone to try it!

ps2: Well, this is more to make up for yesterday's
