Chapter 178: The Dark Fragrance Strikes

Xuanyu and Lucia followed Grace's former figure in the corridor backstage of the Grand Theater, although Lucia was not the first time to come, but things were wrong, the road ahead was uncertain, but the road behind her had been blocked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info But for Lucia, this kind of life may be more suitable for herself, since the future is uncertain, you can't indulge in the past if you want to survive, and it's easier to put aside your worries or something.

"I'm afraid we don't have what we want here. After inspecting the entire backstage, Hyunyu dragged Lucia back to King Street.

"Maddie said that Grace had been bored since she came out of the Grand Theater and had started wandering around," Lucia said as she recalled Maddie's words as she looked around, "but she had a lot of time to go into almost all the shops here." Shall we find out one by one as well?"

"Why not?" Xuanyu chuckled softly, then took Lucia's hand.

Xuanyu's behavior made Lucia a little flustered, she knew that the other party often did some misleading things intentionally or unintentionally, but it was never the intention. However, when Xuanyu smiled, another person's face flashed in her star-like eyes. Suddenly, Lucia only felt that after the spring breeze in her eyes for a moment, her heart was like a knife like a knife, and before she could sort out her thoughts, tears were already falling like rain in a trance.

Lucia's changes were all imprinted in Xuanyu's eyes, but he still didn't ask, didn't say anything else, just took her hand and walked on the bustling avenue. Entering one shop after another, it is a place that only girls go to visit, rouge ornaments, brocade costumes...... In the eyes of the world, Xuanyu and Lucia are a couple, and what they are doing at this time is just an ordinary date.

"What is this?" said a tearful Lucia, "on a date?"

"Fool, we're looking into gold coins. Although Xuanyu didn't turn her head to look at her, she kept holding her hand and didn't let go.

"That's right...... Lucia said with a smile, "but you have to be with someone you like." ”

"If you want to go on a date, you will have a chance in the future. Xuanyu said.

Lucia wiped her tears and sighed, "It's a pity that I don't have someone I like, I won't ...... And then there ......"

Xuanyu's eyes wandered, but she didn't say anything more.

The entire King Street store that matches Grace's identity has basically been investigated, and there is nothing suspicious. Maddie told them in no uncertain terms that Grace had started to change since she returned to the Earl's Court from King Street, so the problem was still here.

"Could it have happened while walking by people in the streets?" guessed Lucia, who had finally gathered her emotions, "I remember Sam, the possessor of the second coin, saying that he had received it from the window of a carriage at the fair. Moreover, the man in the carriage had a hand of red nails......"

"Wait a minute...... Xuanyu interrupted Lucia, he took a deep breath, "Do you smell a fragrance?" ”

Hearing this, Lucia also sniffled and immediately sensed it. Although the aristocratic women who came and went on King's Street were sprayed with strong perfume, the air was always filled with the smell of various fragrances mixed together. Only this one is very unique, it is light with a hint of sweetness, hidden behind the strong fragrance, it seems to be nothing. If it weren't for the fact that the nose of the blood demon was thousands of times larger than that of ordinary people, I am afraid that no one would notice it.

"Like the one Mom Tom mentioned?" asked Xuanyu.

Lucia savored it: "If you follow her description, it is very similar. However, the aroma varies from person to person, so she has to confirm it herself. ”

"Even if she were called now, it would be futile with her mortal sense of smell. Xuanyu rolled her eyes, "Can you tell where this incense comes from?"

Lucia inhaled the faint scent that was filling the air into her nostrils, then focused on it, closed her eyes, and savored it. When she opened her eyes, she was already in the chest. Lucia followed the scent, followed by Jade. Soon, they stopped at a corner of King Street, and they were presented with a perfume shop.

"Want perfume?" Xuanyu smiled, took Lucia's hand and strode into the store.

As soon as she entered the store, a strong fragrance came to her nose, and Lucia was choked and sneezed several times. The store is old, and perfume bottles are haphazardly arranged on the shelves. The counter in front of it was also very dilapidated, and there was a layer of dust on closer inspection. Although it doesn't look like the place where Grace came from, the aroma comes from here. The boss sitting behind the counter was a woman, graceful and charming. When she saw Xuanyu and Lucia, she smiled and came to greet the guests, but there was no smile between her eyebrows.

"What a splendid young lady," she said, glancing at Lucia, in her usual business terms, "it is not those cheap and inferior perfumes that are worthy of your countenance, and it would be wise to enter my shop." As she spoke, she glanced at Xuanyu out of the corner of her eye, and this glance made him look through from top to bottom.

"We ...... We're not here to buy perfume...... Sneez......" Lucia said as she sneezed.

"Who said we don't buy perfume...... Xuanyu pulled Lucia behind her, "we're here to buy perfume." But boss, you can also see that my lover can't stand the strong fragrance. ”

"Ah......h Lucia's sneezing couldn't stop.

The female boss suddenly smiled and said, "You are really a considerate gentleman." Look at you, you're from the East, it's a great place!"

After hearing this, Xuanyu nodded with a smile and said, "I came here with my father to do business, but I can't leave for the time being because of the damage to the port. But by chance, I met her, and it was really a loss of horse. If you want to give her a bottle of perfume as a love object, since it is a love object, it must be a little more special, at least it can't be the same as the smell of those noble ladies who can be seen everywhere. ”

"Do you want to be special?" the landlady looked at her, "It's a coincidence, I just bought a few bottles of oriental perfume, light and elegant, very suitable for this young lady." ”

"That's great," Xuanyu said, "Can you take it out and try the reads?" ”

The female boss was not in a hurry, she raised her eyes and looked at Xuanyu and said, "It's okay to try, but not here." Immediately, she opened the door behind the counter, "These bottles of perfume are very light, if you try them here, the gentleman will not be able to smell them, so it is better to come inside." ”

"Okay. Xuanyu agreed very simply, turned to Lucia and said, "You wait for me outside." ”

"Don't you bring the lady with you?" said the landlady, "you have to try the perfume yourself to be satisfied." ”

"Don't you see she's unwell now?" said Xuanyu as she looked back at Lucia, and then a stream of sneezes rang out behind him.

Xuanyu smiled lightly: "It's okay, she must like the perfume I chose!"

Lucia nodded cooperatively, and then walked out of the shop consciously. The female boss's eyes flashed with a hint of unwillingness, but she still smiled and introduced Xuanyu into the room.

After a long hallway, the landlady pushed open the door at the end. It was a ** house, the decoration was neat and elegant, and the shops outside were completely different, if it wasn't for there, I was afraid that no one would be able to connect the two rooms together.

"I didn't expect there to be a cave here!" Xuanyu sighed.

The landlady pursed her lips and smiled: "The front is for the guests, and the back is for your own residence, how can it be the same." ”

"If you are so careless about the guests, you don't have to worry about no business?" Xuanyu said.

"Business comes and goes. The female boss led Xuanyu to the table, asked him to sit down, and then looked at Xuanyu with affectionate eyes, "Isn't Mr. here today?"

"I'm for your perfume. Xuanyu said indifferently.

"Of course it's perfume, otherwise what does Mr. think?" the landlady chuckled, carefully took out two bottles of perfume from the cabinet next to her, and placed them on the table.

As soon as she entered the door, Xuanyu was sure that that special fragrance definitely came from this room. And the two bottles of perfume in front of him, although he didn't open the lid, he could already smell the fragrance in them, which was obviously not what he was looking for. But at this time, in addition to the aroma, there is one more thing that Xuanyu cares about, that is, the fingertips of the female boss's slender jade hands, the red nails are dazzling, why didn't you notice it just now?
