Chapter 30: Charm
The second floor of House No. 17 was pitch black, only the moonlight was by the window, and the courtyard wall was already high, although there was no shortage of candles, but this place was only bought by Will after all.
If a monk sees the candlelight, but doesn't know that it has been bought, and comes to interrogate it, there is a good chance that there will be more trouble.
Adam thought about what had happened recently, and his expression was a little solemn.
The matter of nocturnal walking is actually gambling on luck, betting that the masters of the church are not staring, and their luck is good enough to reach their destination smoothly.
It's not that Adam didn't know before, but he couldn't help it before, after all, this is the home of the church, and it is more dangerous to travel during the day.
It's just that after many successful night walks, Adam drifted a little, vaguely aware that something was not right, but he didn't think about it carefully, ignoring the risks of night walking.
"It's a lesson that I have to keep in mind. Adam kept this in his mind.
"At the same time, there is a need for safer ways to get around. Adam frowned, there was a curfew in Loya City, and there were only two kinds of people who could travel at night, the patrol garrison and the patrol monks.
"Some nobles also acquired the right to walk at night. "Many of the monks of the church are involved with the nobility, and they turn a blind eye to the behavior of some nobles who exceed their authority.
If you can get the help of the nobles, then you may be able to make the night walk safer.
"But when you think about it this way, in fact, this kind of patrol in the state of war will not last long. Adam tapped the mask on his face and thought, "The aristocracy has many interests that cannot be put on the table, such as smuggling. ”
"The night is the best cover for xenomorph operations, and it is also the time when the nobles earn these benefits, and this kind of sweeping patrol for a long time, I am afraid that the nobles will intervene to keep the church restrained. ”
"Sir Rubeus, he's a breakthrough. "Adam had a new idea in his mind, and Mansra was now at a critical juncture, and his smuggling team would not allow anyone else to interfere.
Rubeus has always wanted to compete with Mansra, and if the operation is good, Adam believes that with the noble nobles' current moral bottom line that is better than nothing, he will definitely cooperate with the xenomorphs.
"And that would also spur Mansra into loosening his grip on the smuggling team, and I might be able to intervene in Mansra's smuggling team through Kim. ”
"It's all about convincing Rubeus that we Xenos can help him outsmart Mansra. Adam had a plan in his heart.
Originally, there was no such thing as a knight among the nobles, and the lowest title was a baron.
However, with the passage of time, the merits of some barons fell off and their personalities declined, and although the merits of these nobles could still play a role, the effect was not as good as before, so the rank of knight was added.
"For any knight, the greatest purpose is to restore the sadhana. Later, when Kim talked about the nobility in detail, he mentioned a jazz and had a plan in mind.
"Mr. Riggs?" a crisp voice sounded, and Adam didn't turn to look, but still looked out the window at the night.
The man came to Adam's side, and a faint smell of perfume came over him, causing Adam to frown.
For xenomorphs, it is best to cover up all the features that reveal their identity, and the smell of perfume that is too dense is a very obvious feature.
"It can also be used as a means of tracking. Adam was sure that as long as he didn't protect himself and came into contact with him a little bit closer, he would leave a smell on his body that would be difficult to remove, and if the other person had the same sensitive sense of smell, he would be able to follow the scent all the time.
Although he hadn't looked at the man, Adam had memorized all the xenomorph traits when he glanced at him before.
Long blond hair, a gorgeous face, and a tear mole in the corner of his eyes, with indescribable charm, with a good figure, to that station, can make people rise and uncontrollable desire, before Adam arrived, most people's eyes stayed on this person.
"You left the symbol at the door?" Adam sensed a similar aura between the two.
"It's just a small trick. The woman covered her mouth and chuckled, "In Lower Regina, she runs a few clothing stores, and she still has some assets, and she wants to obtain the Tears of God Ritual from Mr. Nether. ”
People who are relatively strangers call each other by their last names, and only familiar people will be called by their first names.
"You can go to Will. ”
"But I want to get more ......" Regina speaks very skillfully, her voice is crisp, but there is always some blank space in the words, which makes people feel ambiguous and induce infinite reverie.
Combined with the identity of the other party's xenomorph, Adam even wondered if this was a relatively rare succubus or **banshee.
Her slender hand, unusually white in the moonlight, reached out to Adam provocatively, but stopped as she approached, unable to move forward any further.
An invisible thing enveloped Adam, and the moment it came into contact, it exploded in her mind.
The next moment, Adam turned his head to look at her, and the figure completely occupied her field of vision.
The night breeze blew, Adam's monk's uniform fluttered, the gray mask on his face seemed to come to life, and Adam's eyes also reflected in Regina's heart.
Under the moonlight, Adam was standing like this, and it was just the right view.
Under the background of the monk's uniform and the moonlight, Adam seemed to be a spotless and holy man at the moment, but everything was so strange to the mask and flat eyes that became more and more terrifying the more he looked at it.
The combination of holiness and demonic is general, but it harmoniously exists in the body of a person, and bursts out with an indescribable charm.
Compared with this charm, the charm that Regina showed before seems to be not worth mentioning, and even seems vulgar.
In front of such a person, Regina even developed a strong sense of inferiority.
"He's laughing, he's definitely laughing!" Regina seemed to be able to sense Adam's blurred face and the slightly upturned corners of his mouth through the mask.
The heart was pierced by an arrow and stopped beating.
It wasn't until Adam turned his head to look at the night again that Regina seemed to come to life, her heart beating wildly, and two blushes instantly appeared on her pale face.
"That's... Mr. Nanether, I, I'll step back first. Regina hid her face, stammered a little, and quickly went downstairs.
Adam shook his head, I really don't know who gave me the courage to dare to charm myself, and the charm is not as high as mine.
Sorting through his various thoughts, Adam suddenly saw a wildflower blooming in the yard at night, and temporarily put aside the complicated thoughts in his heart, and Adam admired the appearance of the flower in full bloom.
As the flowers bloomed in full bloom, Adam laughed, and a simple joy rose in his heart.
With this joy in mind, Adam gathered his emotions and looked at the entrance on the second floor.
The old man of the human race, who had brought Adam in, was standing there respectfully.
After Adam turned around, he bent down and whispered, "Mr. Will has completed the ceremony, due to physical reasons, let the old slave and I come to greet the Lord on his behalf, is there anything else I would like to order?" ”
"Make a list, a list of people who will attend this meeting, and give it to me at the next meeting. Adam said, "I'll leave a notice here for the next meeting when things settle down." ”
"Understood, Lord Riggs. The old man said seriously: "If the adult has anything, he can also call the old slave directly." ”
"Let's go down. Adam nodded slightly, and said nothing more.
Looking at the old slave, Adam thought about how he should get out of here and return to Boku's house.
At dawn, the curfew will be lifted, and many people will show up to work, and if they take off their disguises, they can blend in with the crowd and go back.
But this is also easy to leave flaws, after all, suddenly walking home alone early in the morning will inevitably arouse suspicion.
Then Adam's gaze fell on a barrel placed in the backyard by a family in the distance.
After daybreak, Adam had already gone out of the second-floor window.
"Adam came to fetch water so early today. ”
"yes, I didn't sleep too deeply, it seemed to be very noisy last night. Adam walked towards Boku's house with a bucket full of water and began to greet his neighbors.
"The monks of the church have arrested people, I heard that they have arrested a lot of ......" Saying all kinds of specious gossip, Adam returned to Boku's house without incident.
