Chapter 197: Cold Norzin Winter
“Amazing,” Cherry couldn’t help exclaim in awe. “Everything was precisely set up by him already.”
Glancing at the contract between Congreve and the Church of the Do in her hands, she shook her head and muttered, “No, perhaps since even earlier…”
From Wilde’s perspective, this matter concerned three parties — the Ash Chamber of Comrce, Path of the Flaming Sword, and himself, who were all chess pieces that Boss Lin had laid out.
But in truth, there was still the Church of the Do that was at the heart of it all.
And the Church of the Do’s Father Vincent’s contact with the bookstore had occurred way earlier than when personnel from the Ash Chamber of Comrce visited the bookstore.
Moreover, Boss Lin had even gotten him to head next door and seek out Claude, a disciple of the Great Radiant Knight, aning that Secret Rite Tower was involved as well.
There was also Rolle Resource Developnt that inexplicably put up its sign right in front of the bookstore.
In ways beyond what Cherry and Wilde could see, Mr. Lin had many, many more custors…
Cherry felt a little lost. The gulf between her and Boss Lin was widening.
Each ti she felt like she was making progress, things she learned later on would tell her that she was still greatly inadequate and rely one of the many pawns of Boss Lin.
Wilde, on the other hand, was in a feverish state, pacing up and down excitedly. “It’s only to be expected of Boss Lin. I’ve fully heard his gospel! This is the vision of a wise man, a lord and savior, an all-knowing master!”
Everything about this might seem coincidental, yet there were clear signs that each of this was a ticulously designed move of a perfect chess ga!
Perhaps so people might think that the devastating power to move mountains and earth was a mark of a true powerhouse.
However, Wilde reckoned that such presence of mind and ability to make small yet precise calculations was truly unparalleled might.
Was there anyone who could casually string along the respective fates of others and with a gentle push cause every single card to fall into place?
It could be described as organized, though sowhat strange, but Wilde felt that it was like Boss Lin arranging his room, putting everyone in their appropriate place and making them do what they should do in a most organized fashion.
“This is truly the might that only a god can possess!”
Wilde had already inwardly shouted out the praises of Boss Lin many tis over.
Then he thought, perhaps, Gall… Did Boss Lin foresee that too?
Yes, Boss Lin knows the deep sentints regarding my two disciples, one who died unexpectedly and the other who betrayed . And thus, he must be giving this chance for a do-over.
Haa... As ever, Boss Lin really cares for his custors.
As Wilde was deeply moved, he looked towards the other bookstore patron, Cherry, who was pensively in thought at the mont.
"Cherry Chapman?" asked Wilde.
"Yes." Cherry nodded. "You can just call Cherry."
Wilde fished out a bone whistle from the pocket of his black robes and handed it over.
Cherry took it hurriedly, then hesitantly asked, "What is this?"
"Think of it as a greeting to commorate our first cooperation as fellow bookstore custors," Wilde said.
He smiled, thinking that he was a part of Boss Lin's plans and his work hadn't been in vain. Being able to serve Boss Lin was an honor for people like them.
Cherry scrutinized it carefully but was unable to make out what sort of sorcery tool it was. Wilde then explained, "By blowing this whistle, you will be able to summon Grady regardless of wherever you are."
Wilde reached out and stroked the back of Grady’s neck. Grady closed its eyes and gave a woof of delight, no different from any other ordinary dog.
Had it not been for what Cherry had witnessed, she wouldn’t have believed that such a lovely little pet was a monstrosity of massive proportions.
Summon it?
That’s equivalent to summoning a Destructive-rank helper!
“Thank you very much for your gift.” Cherry clutched the bone whistle tightly, knowing that this was a gesture of Wilde’s kindness.
Bookstore custors were bound to et sooner or later. And with a common connection, it was naturally easier for them to develop relations.
But at the sa ti, vigilance had to be maintained, for as long as people were involved, groups were bound to be ford.
There might be strangers or ones they didn’t know among custors, just as well as there could be adversaries or rivals.
For example, Wilde and Joseph, the Ash Chamber of Comrce and Rolle Resource Developnt.
But for those without any animosity, it was possible to lean on each other…
Whoever makes the first move wins!
Cherry looked up and said, "In return, let know if there are materials you require. As a branch deputy head of the Ash Chamber of Comrce, I will give you anything you need if the Ash Chamber of Comrce possesses it."
The value of such a Destructive-rank was unasurable, and Cherry was willing to use all ans to win him over.
We are hosted novel, find us on google.
Wilde chuckled. "Giving is unnecessary. I don't lack funds, but it would be a lie to say that I'm not short of resources. As a magician, there are many areas that require lots of experints and the loss of materials is inevitable.
"I can buy the materials at market price if you can provide them."
Wilde continued on, "Perhaps there might be a ti in future where I require more of your help. Hopefully, I'll be able to hear news of Cherry Chapman becoming a branch head of the Ash Chamber of Comrce in the near future."
Cherry returned the smile, which presented that their preliminary cooperation had begun.
As long as there are mutual interests, alliances are easily achieved.
Moreover, the two of them shared a firm bond as fellow bookstore custors and believed that everything, including this collaboration, had all been arranged by Boss Lin.

"Achoo!"
Lin Jie sneezed in his seat.
Feeling a little chilly, he got Mu'en to close the door.
"The weather's been a little cold lately. How ti flies. Looks like it's going to be winter in Norzin soon," sighed Lin Jie.
Joseph, who had almost been shut out of the bookstore by Mu'en, used his hand to hold the door and squeeze in with a startled look on his face.
Just a mont earlier, he had been wondering how an all-powerful being like Boss Lin could sneeze.
This was sothing totally impossible, yet it had just occurred.
Then, hearing the following words made him co to a realization.
Based on his experience, Boss Lin's unusual action must an sothing.
Boss Lin is using this as a pretext to emphasize a deeper aning to the latter part of his sentence, 'cold Norzin winter.'
Winter is a harsh season, and it is coming to Norzin soon. This ans the prelude to so slaughter, and when taking the recent matters into consideration, it ans that the Church of the Do will be facing imminent disaster.
So Boss Lin's intent is to ask us whether we can start to act?
"Joseph?" Boss Lin looked up, slightly puzzled. "Why are you still standing there in a daze?
"Afraid I've set up a trap for you here?"
Joseph jolted. A trap?
