It seems that the local chamber of commerce is very careful in selecting people.
"Okay, then you can come and start working when the business opens," Lu Lin said. "By the way, do you need accommodation?"
"It would be best if accommodation could be provided," Jack Justice said. "My salary is paid by the Chamber of Commerce, and I can use part of it as room expenses."
"That's not necessary, there just happens to be an empty room, ah, but since that room also serves as part of the warehouse, your space may not be too big," Lu Lin said, "If you don't mind, just live there. I won’t charge you for the room, just buy a suitable bed and put it in.”
"Thank you so much, the shopkeeper," Jack Zhengyi said, and made the "flower gift" again.
Lu Lin looked at him and felt that he was uncomfortable without shaking.
However, just when Lu Lin and Jack Zhengyi finished chatting about work and planned to continue chatting about home life, Lu Lin's eyes fell on a familiar figure.
On the street outside their store, a girl with light chestnut hair and crimson pupils was jumping along the street.
She had an extremely bright smile on her face, just like an ordinary girl full of energy.
But her appearance made Lu Lin's hair stand on end at just one glance.
Because that face is clearly the same as Tanuki's.
but……
Lu Lin looked towards the back of the store. At the dining table, Li Mi was slowly eating the breakfast bought by Lan Jie.
Almost subconsciously, Lu Lin put on the crow mask.
But when he looked out the window again, there was no trace of the girl from before.
Only a faint black mist was left where she walked.
That is the breath that only the dead can leave behind.
Chapter 129: My heart and conduct are as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is righteous.
The peculiar deadness of corpses.
The same appearance as Tanuki.
A completely different behavior pattern from Tanuki.
Although he only glimpsed it for a moment, the information he collected still made Lu Lin's hair stand on end.
Something's wrong...
Something is very wrong.
Lu Lin immediately closed the store door, took Li Mi upstairs, and called Lan Jie up.
When he came to the door, Lu Lin looked at the new bald man, thought about it, and called him up.
Entering the alchemy room, Lu Lin closed all the doors and windows, and even drew the curtains.
This was the first time that Lan Jie saw Lu Lin so nervous, and he immediately became nervous, holding the scabbard with his left hand.
Jack Zhengyi was a little confused. He had just agreed to join the job and was planning to go out and buy a bed. Why did he look at this posture, but suddenly the atmosphere was not right?
Could it be that this store was about to face bankruptcy and reorganization just after I joined the company?
At this time, Lu Lin also closed everything that could be closed in the store, and then arranged for Li Mi to sit on the bed.
Although he didn't know how much Tanuki could understand what he said now, but now that Tanuki has some ability to judge, there should be no harm in letting her listen.
At the same time, Lan Jie finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked, "Boss, what happened?"
"That's right," Lu Lin was about to explain, but when the words came to his lips, he stopped again.
The twin mud puppets at the door sent a message through the master-servant magic link, and it seemed that a guest was coming to the door.
Lu Lin immediately frowned, walked along the wall to the window, and looked downstairs cautiously.
When he saw the person clearly, Lu Lin was stunned for a moment.
It turned out to be the night elf witch from yesterday.
"Hiss...it seems we have to receive a guest first," Lu Lin said.
"Guest? What kind of guest?" Lan Jie looked very wary.
"Don't be nervous, she's not an enemy," Lu Lin said. "However, I'm not sure why she came. Let's ask first. You just stay in the room and wait for me. I'll bring her up."
After saying that, Lu Lin opened the door and went downstairs.
Not long after, the night elf lady dressed in a loose witch costume followed him back to the alchemy room.
Watching Lu Lin carefully close the door, and then looking at the other people in the room, the night elf witch said with a strange look: "Ah, it's really a unique way of doing business. This is the first time I have met an alchemist to receive me." When you are a guest, you take them directly to your alchemy room. Where do you want me to sit? "
"Sorry, let's make do. You can sit in the chair I usually sit on," Lu Lin pointed to the desk beside him.
"Well, that's not bad," the night elf witch walked towards the chair.
On the way, she and Jack looked at each other with justice, and both of them frowned at the same time. Then, she looked at Lan Jie again, and her eyes stayed there for a while longer.
When Lan Jie saw her looking at him, he smiled politely.
As for raccoon rice.
She was holding her own killer whale and staring at Lu Lin, not sure if she was in a daze.
"So, why did you suddenly come to my place today," Lu Lin asked, "I remember that the appointment time to pick up the potion was three days later, right? Besides, I don't think I told you which store my store is. right……"
"Of course the potion is not finished, so I came here for other things," the night elf witch said, "As for how to find your store... Of the alchemist stores in the entire street, the only one with the black mist on top is your store. It’s instantly recognizable.”
"Hell, is it so obvious?" Lu Lin's mouth twitched.
"No, it's just obvious to me," the night elf witch shrugged.
"So, what exactly do you want to say when you come here this time?" Lu Lin asked.
"Well..." The night elf witch glanced across the room, seeming hesitant.
Seeing her look like this, Lu Lin suddenly understood. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Ah, by the way, I suddenly remembered that I haven't introduced you yet. Hello, my name is Ben Wei, and I am the owner of this shop."
With that said, Lu Lin pointed at Lan Jie and said: "The bald man with the knife here is Lan Jie, my good brother, who has been with me through life and death."
Then, Lu Lin pointed at Li Mi and said, "The little girl over there is called Lesa. Her situation is quite special. She usually follows me, so you don't have to worry."
"As for this..." Lu Lin's eyes turned to Jack Zhengyi, "This name is Jack Zhengyi. He is the accountant assigned to me by the Chamber of Commerce. It is said that he was a believer of the Tianri Sect."
“That’s in the past,” Jack Justice said.
"Can I ask how you left the Tianri Sect?" the night elf witch asked.
"Of course, it's not a secret. I taught an elder to go out with the Ye Gang to burn down civilian villages and intercept passing caravans. I couldn't stand it, so I killed the elder," Jack said righteously, "This is There seems to have been quite a fuss some time ago, so if you want to check, it shouldn’t be difficult to find out.”
As soon as these words came out, Lu Lin and Lan Jie were stunned at the same time.
Although they had felt that this guy might be something serious since they met the bald man, but they hadn't had time to ask about his origins in detail, but they didn't expect that this big brother had such a powerful background.
"Jack Justice...ah, it's you, I just said why this name sounds so familiar," the night elf witch said, "You were called Jack Bangluo before, the acting disciple of Tianri Sect's 'Bangluo', broke away from Tianri Sect Did you later give yourself the word justice?"
"As the leader of 'Bang Luo', I failed to protect the sanctity of the Holy Flame, so I no longer deserve to call myself 'Bang Luo'," said Jack Zhengyi. "I changed my name to 'Zhengyi'. I just hope to stick to my heart and do everything I can." justice."
"Damn it, why are you a lawful good person..." Lu Lin's mouth twitched slightly.
As a dark alchemist with a relatively flexible moral bottom line, this kind of person can be said to be quite incompatible with him.
I actually just hired such a person to be my accountant?
I always feel that there may be a lot of trouble in the future.
But now...
"So, you are very strong?" Lu Lin asked.
"It's just a little bit of martial arts, but I haven't been able to get a glimpse of the master's realm so far," Jack Zhengyi said, "My matter is of no concern, so you don't need to delve into it any further. But I am very curious about who this lady is. Come here today, Why are you looking so serious?"
"Well...since it's you, it would be nice to have an extra helper," the night elf witch said, "Let me introduce myself, Silly. I can't tell you my full name, but as you can see, she is a witch. "
When he heard the word witch, Jack frowned for a moment, but didn't say anything.
This detail was caught by Lu Lin, and now he is really worried about what this guy would think if he found out that his shop owner was a black alchemist...
However, Lu Lin's worries did not last long.
Because the night elf witch's next words attracted Lu Lin's full attention.
"This little girl...you said her name was Lysa, right," the witch Silly said solemnly, "I saw her 'shadow' on the street earlier."
Chapter 130: As the saying goes: Once it comes, let it be safe
Although Lu Lin didn't know exactly what "shadow" was, the other "raccoon rice" he just saw clearly fit the impression given by this title.
"Is the shadow you are talking about something that looks almost exactly the same as me, but is actually a dead thing?" Lu Lin asked.
"Huh? Did you see it too?" Witch Silly asked.
"Zaiqun: 543659389, I saw them on the street before you came, so I asked them to stay here," Lu Lin said.
"The response is very fast. I was worried that you might alert someone because of your impulsiveness," the witch Silly said with a somewhat approving tone. "The appearance of the shadow is almost exactly the same as mine, so it is easy to attract people."
"So what is that thing?" Lu Lin asked.
This question was also what Lan Jie and Jack Zhengyi wanted to know. For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Silly.
"Shadow, also known as 'Reflection of the Abyss', is the unique necromancy technique of the Mingtan Walkers. It is the worst blasphemy against the deceased."
Witch Silly explained seriously.
"The spell requires the complete body of the deceased as the main body, and it must be cast in the place where the deceased lived. The effect is to forcibly recall the soul of the deceased and resurrect the deceased."
"Of course, don't think that they really resurrected the dead. The souls of the resurrected dead are not complete, and will be modified, reshaped, and kneaded by them to ensure that the eventually resurrected dead will become absolutely loyal puppets to them. "
"What the hell, what kind of reincarnation is this?" Lu Lin's brows twitched.
"Evil heretic," Jack's righteous voice was full of anger and disgust.
As for Lan Jie, he looked at Tanuki, then at the witch Silly, and said with a confused look on his face: "But Tanuki... I mean, Lysa isn't dead either?"
"Yeah, so this shadow is not complete. I'm afraid those bastards also used other methods, such as finding other souls to stuff into that body," said the witch Silly.
"Wait a minute, didn't you just say that the casting of this technique requires a complete body?" Jack Zhengyi asked doubtfully, "This little girl is still alive, where did her complete body come from?"
After hearing Jack's question of justice, the witch Silly did not answer immediately, but turned her attention to Lu Lin.
Seeing this, Jack Zhengyi also looked at Lu Lin doubtfully.
Seeing this, Lu Lin understood what Silly meant. He sighed and said, "That's because she was forcibly summoned by the Holy Religion... from another world."
"People from another world?" Jack Zhengyi frowned, "An army of the immortal?"
"Yes, it's the 'Immortal Army' that drove the Tianri Sect out of the empire in the past, but I have to be fair, the Tianri Sect doesn't understand the 'Immortal Army' they call it at all," Witch Silk Li said, "You always think that they are lackeys captured and domesticated by the Holy Religion from another world, but you don't know that their lives are more miserable than yours."
"What do you mean?" Jack Zhengyi looked confused.
"I don't know much. Otherwise, you might as well ask him," the witch Silly asked the question to Lu Lin again.
At this moment, Lu Lin understood after listening to the other party's words that the Tianri Sect might have a lot of prejudice against these unlucky ones.
It's not surprising, after all, in their view, the undead army is exactly the knife used by the Holy Cult to harvest the lives of their companions.
Therefore, although it felt a bit troublesome, Lu Lin basically explained the relationship between the so-called foreign slaves, brave men, and the dungeon.
As soon as the story was told, the witch Silly was stunned.
Although she knew a little bit about the inside story before, it was only to the extent that "the brave man is not as loyal to the Holy Religion as he appears".
Looking at the entire world, not many people outside of the higher-ups of the Holy Religion and the Empire know the information about all the truth in the hands of the White Witch.
As for Jack Justice, he was in a sluggish state. Looking at his expression, it seemed as if his worldview had been shattered.
After a while, Lu Lin heard a muttering sound coming from his mouth: "Oh my god, how can there be such a vicious and evil person in the world, and he still claims his holy name? It's wrong, it's all wrong..."
"Hey, is he okay? Is he crazy?" Lan Jie asked worriedly.
"It's okay, the people of the Tianri Sect are quite crazy anyway," the witch Silly said nonchalantly.
"Now I have almost finished what I have to say, so what exactly are the Dark Beach Walkers?" Lu Lin asked, "What does it mean for them to appear here? What is their relationship with the Holy Religion?"
"The history of the Mingtan Walkers is too long. Let's talk about it when we have time. All you need to know is that their family are all very powerful necromancers."
The witch Silly replied.
"They appeared here and brought Lysa's shadow with them. That naturally means they are looking for you."
