Chapter Seventy-Four: The Mystery of the Pocket Watch
Artebor died. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info For Rod, this should be a moment to celebrate, but he was not happy at all, not only because Artebra said so much about James Epock, whether it was true or not, Rod didn't intend to believe it. It's just that although Artebor is dead, the mystery has not yet been solved. Rod couldn't feel that kind of ease, but felt that there was still a long way to go, and this seemed to be just the beginning.
After Artebel died, his face quickly turned old, and in the blink of an eye, his body was still intact, but his face had turned into a pool of blood. Such a change made everyone present frown unconsciously. Especially Rod, it seems that such a change has become corroborating evidence of Attber's testimony, is it really his father's treachery that poured potion on his face?
Looking at the pool of blood, Xuanyu was thoughtful. After a moment of silence, Lucia was the first to come back to her senses: "What did he just tell you?" Curiosity is always a "poison" that Lucia can't quit. But this time, even Xuanyu came over to listen, which shows how attractive these words are.
But Rod didn't show any excitement, but looked dazed: "He just asked me to check the 'Blood Rose'." ”
"What's that?" Lucia said.
Rhodes didn't speak.
"I remember it in the notes your father left you." Xuanyu Road.
"That's right, except for the pocket watch, which is this mysterious blood rose, I can only see this word clearly, and the other records are not clear." Rod said frustratedly, "I've been investigating all these years, but there is no clue, and I don't even know what it is." ”
"That's right, I can't see clearly...... Lucia thought and suddenly slapped her face, "You give the notebook to Xuanyu and let him think of a way, maybe he can recover!" ”
"Hey, don't use me as a master key!" Xuanyu resisted, "I'm not an immortal who responds to requests!" ”
"Of course not, the gods are much more merciful than you!" Lucia quipped that only during this period could she make fun of Xuanyu unscrupulously, while Xuanyu did not have any temper and sense of oppression, and her smiling face was like a spring breeze, with the gentle face of the big brother next door.
But Rod didn't have such a comfort, he frowned: "Even if you are an immortal, I'm afraid you can't do anything." He paused, "The note...... Lost ......"
"Lost?" Lucia and Xuanyu spoke in unison.
Rod nodded, with a self-reproachful expression: "When I was a child, I obviously collected it, but I didn't have it, and I haven't found it until now." ”
There was silence again, until Mo An poked his head out of the study and shouted at them, "What are you stunned about, we still have business!" They finally came to their senses. Although Mo An, who had been watching the battle in the study, did not see the details of the battle clearly, he had already estimated his losses at the first time. All along, he had ignored Xuanyu, the greatest king of destruction, but even so, he wouldn't mind anything.
While Mo An was estimating the loss of Crescent Manor, Elipo, who had barely escaped, was also calculating his own abilities with Xuanyu. If judged by strength, there is still a fifty percent certainty that it has won Xuanyu. But once he loses, he will die an ugly death, and the word "ugly" is the most hated and absolutely unacceptable to Ellip, so even if there is a fifty percent chance of winning, he still doesn't want to take this risk. In his logic, he can only make a move if he is 100% sure, so he chooses to escape. However, Xuanyu's attack on him did hurt his heart, but he couldn't believe that Xuanyu was not hurt at all.
Elip didn't see through the true identity of the opponent he had longed for, maybe for a moment, he thought of the word "nothing", or what people call "blood demon", but quickly dispelled this idea, no matter how similar it was, Alip knew that if it was really a blood demon, then it was the bloodthirsty beast that attacked him, not the main body. If it really comes to the point where the main body is out of the horse, then it is impossible for me to come back alive today. Therefore, Elipo judged that Xuanyu could never be a blood demon, and in this regard, he was really wrong.
If it was Xuanyu's previous state, then Elipu would really be unable to escape death. However, the world is unpredictable, Lucia's addition makes Xuanyu's state extremely unstable, and after the duel with Elipo, her long black hair becomes shorter in an instant, and she feels dizzy and hungry to the point of no return. Therefore, when Xuanyu, Lucia, and Rod returned to Mo'an's study, he immediately instructed the servants to prepare a sumptuous supper. At this time, he was feasting, and Lucia on the side also resolutely followed his steps, eating and drinking. The actions of the two of them really scared Moan and Rod, but soon their attention turned to their pocket watches.
"Can you open the pocket watch mechanism today?" Rod asked.
Mo An looked at the beautiful full moon outside the window and nodded: "To be exact, it's now." ”
With that, he took out his pocket watch and placed it on the table. Then he walked over to Xuanyu and stretched out a hand: "Give it to me." ”
Xuanyu put down the knife and fork temporarily with great reluctance, took out the "crystal prism" from his bosom and handed it to Mo An.
Rod was a little surprised: "It's not ......"
Before he finished speaking, Mo An said: "That's right, it's Attber's thing, and it's also an important prop for us to open the mechanism." ”
"I don't understand......" Rhodes said.
Mo An looked at Xuanyu, expecting him to come and give an explanation, but after seeing his completely foodie state, he gave up this idea: "The crystal prism is actually a thing of the Mabel family, and it is kept together with the pocket watch. Presumably Ling Zun and Attber got them back then, and then Ling Zun disappeared, and the pocket watch changed hands several times and finally returned to my hands, but the crystal prism has been missing, through your previous memories, we judge that this thing is ten likely** on Attber. This time there was just an opportunity for the crystal prism to be returned to its original owner. ”
"So......" Rhodes blinked, "you didn't deal with Arteb to help me, but for this thing?" ”
"Our ultimate goal is the same, if we don't get back the crystal prism, we won't be able to find the door of the underground palace, then the mystery of Ling Zun's disappearance will still not be solved." Without hearing Artebra's confession, Moan was unable to detect Rod's psychological changes at this time.
But on the other hand, what Mo An said is true, no matter what his father did back then, now there is only one clue of treasure. Despite some resistance, Rhodes still decided to find the truth of the facts!
"Then hurry up and open the mechanism, don't grind!" Rod yelled.
This made Mo An feel a little surprised, and he turned his eyes to look at the two foodies, without any eye contact at all. Mo An shook his head helplessly and placed the crystal prism in the moonlight. Suddenly, a ray of moonlight came in, refracted through the crystal prism, and reflected onto the jewel of the pocket watch. The blank wall in front of him suddenly appeared full of intricate letters, large and small, intertwined and scattered throughout the wall, and there was no clue to be seen.
