Pawnshop No. 8: Lord of Darkness

In the lobby of No. 8 pawnshop.

Lin Yan sat on the sofa, staring at the supreme power in his palm, lost in thought.

There must be a reason why Zeus did not absorb this thing.

The biggest is probably two.

First, Zeus cannot control this kind of power. Forcibly absorbing it will only put himself in danger, with unpredictable consequences.

Second, he was afraid of causing the displeasure of the Supreme God.

Just like in reality, if you have the same abilities as your boss, will the other person be happy?

There are very few things like using talents in an eclectic way.

But Zeus didn't dare, it didn't mean that Lin Yan didn't dare.

He doesn't care so much.

As long as he can improve his own strength, Lin Yan can do whatever it takes without violating his own principles.

Just when Lin Yan was deep in thought, footsteps sounded.

Xu Rou stood in front of Lin Yan.

Lin Yan didn't seem to notice, still staring at the water droplets

"Lin Yan!"

The sudden voice brought Lin Yan back to reality.

He looked up at Xu Rou. After being stunned for a while, he finally remembered that Xu Rou was still at the No. 8 pawn shop. There have been customers coming to the door in the past few days. Lin Yan was so busy that he ignored the matter.

At that moment, Lin Yan quickly put away the water drops, stood up and said,"I'm sorry, I've been too busy recently, did you sleep well? Xu

Rou looked at Lin Yan suspiciously and said,"Are you okay? This is already the third day. Do you mean I slept for three days?""

Lin Yan slapped his forehead.

Only then did he remember that three days had passed in Pawn Shop No. 8 for two consecutive transactions.

"Feel sorry."Lin Yan said again

"whee. Xu Rou stepped forward, hugged Lin Yan's arm, and said,"I don't blame you. As a man, it's normal to be busy.""

"You should be able to rest now, right? Want to have a drink with me?"

Lin Yan looked at the wall in front of him. Although there was still a bright light flashing on it, no name appeared.

That person was still hesitating. He shouldn't be able to come to No. 8 Pawn Shop in a short time.

"OK, I'm just trying to relax."

Lin Yan smiled and nodded.

You can put aside the matter of absorbing the supreme divine power for now.

Anyway, there is no rush, the future is long.

……

The dinner was very warm and nothing superfluous.

After drinking and eating, the two walked into the bedroom.

Xu Rou kicked off her high heels, wrapped her lotus-like arms around Lin Yan's neck, and said softly:"This is the first time that I can look at you so quietly."

Looking at the drunken figure so close at hand, Xu Rou, Lin Yan smiled slightly.

He snapped his fingers, and the lights in the bedroom went out.

In the room, there was the sound of rustling clothes and an imaginative gasp.

……

The next day.

Lin Yan got up early without disturbing the rosy-faced Xu Rou.

That customer has arrived.

In front of the trading desk, Guo Jing was drinking tea. When he saw someone coming, he quickly got up

"Sorry to keep our distinguished guest waiting for so long."

As he spoke, Lin Yan stood in front of Guo Jing and took a look at him.

Guo Jing, who was already middle-aged and a father of a wife, lacked the flamboyant chivalry and was more steady and resolute.

He cupped his fists and said:" The boss' words were serious, but Guo Jing didn't wait too long.

Lin Yan's first impression of Guo Jing, who was kind to others, was also very good. He smiled and extended his hand and said,"Master Guo, please take a seat.""

It's rare for Lin Yan to use the word"hero" to address a guest.

A great hero serves the country and the people.

Guo Jing really embodies these eight words incisively and vividly.

Lin Yan asked himself that he couldn't do it. Guo Jing is so selfless, but that doesn't stop him from admiring him.

"I am the owner of this pawn shop, Lin Yan.

Guo Jing clasped his fists again and said,"I've seen Boss Lin.""

"You're welcome, Mr. Guo, please have some tea. Lin Yan stretched out his hand and said

"Thank you."

Guo Jing nodded and picked up the tea cup in front of him.

This is a courtesy. Even if Guo Jing is not thirsty, he will not insult others.

After a while, Lin Yan said:"How is Sir Guo doing lately? Hearing this

, Guo Jing smiled and said:"Boss Tuolin Hongfu, his wife runs the house, and his children are filial. I am very satisfied.""

It sounds like a perfect life.

But Lin Yan can still see the sadness hidden in Guo Jing's eyebrows.

It's obvious that the other party has encountered something difficult to solve.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have appeared in Pawn Shop No. 8.

At that moment, Lin Yan asked directly:"Master Guo, what troubles have you encountered recently?"

When mentioning this issue, Guo Jing opened his mouth, but did not say anything.

"Guo Daxia just said it doesn't matter. No. 8 Pawn Shop respects all privacy of its customers. Please rest assured.

Guo Jing hesitated for a while and said,"Does Boss Lin know the current situation in our Southern Song Dynasty?" Lin

Yan nodded and said,"Of course, the traitorous ministers in the Southern Song Dynasty are now in power, and Song Duzong indulges in drinking and sex all day long and does not care about political affairs. According to my estimation, the Southern Song Dynasty will definitely perish in less than five years.""

He said it very easily.

This kind of thing has nothing to do with No. 8 Pawnshop. Lin Yan has seen too many changes in dynasties.

A dynasty has a destiny and cannot exist forever.

This is a fact. It is also a reality.

Lin Yan's words made Guo Jing's expression change. He wanted to say something, but in the end he sighed heavily. The other party was right. Today's Southern Song Dynasty was already suffering from internal and external troubles and was vulnerable.

After a moment of hesitation, Guo Jing asked:"Does Boss Lin have a way to make the Southern Song Dynasty immortal?"

"Will the Southern Song Dynasty be immortal?

Lin Yan glanced at Guo Jing and shook his head:"No.""

No?

Of course there is.

If Lin Yan is willing, he can make the Southern Song Dynasty exist forever.

But Guo Jing can't afford that price, and it's all in vain.

It's better to cut off the other person's thoughts.

Guo Jing was silent.

He also knows that this kind of thing is too illusory and almost impossible.

"Can that... make Xiangyang City immortal?"

"cannot."

Lin Yan shook his head again.

He had already guessed the purpose of Guo Jing's coming here, and he was a little sad.

The highest level of a knight is probably like this, caring about the world and thinking about the common people.

Although he is not an official or a soldier, he is willing to help Guarding Xiangyang.

Benevolent, loyal and courageous, with awe-inspiring righteousness.

Lin Yan could only use these eight words to describe the current Guo Jing.
