Chapter 70: Guilt

The night is like a velvety curtain, gradually hiding Crescent Moon Manor in its mysterious darkness. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoA full moon hangs in the sky, and the cold silver moonlight is empty and real, ethereal, giving people a dreamlike sense of unreality. However, under such moonlight, a drama was staged in the Crescent Moon Manor to distinguish the true from the false.

The golden mask reflected a strange light at Charlie's feet, as did Lucia and Moan's expressions, and it was obvious that things could come to this point, which they didn't expect. Xuanyu's indifferent gaze formed a strong contrast with the beads of sweat on Charlie's head.

Charlie's trembling lips stumbled out a few words for a long time: "This...... What is it......? I don't...... I don't know. ”

"Don't pretend!Charlie!" Rod, who had been silent, finally raised his head, and at this time his face was full of excitement and indescribable grief and indignation, "No, Artebra, the Golden Mask Man!" said him, he raised his short knife and pointed directly at Charlie in front of him, "Finally let me wait until this day!"

Lucia and Mo An flashed to the side with interest, only Xuanyu paced forward slowly, her gaze sweeping over the golden mask on the ground: "I dug it out of the ground behind the cabin while you went to the Kakabu Market. There is a saying I would like to advise you, next time if you bury something, it is better to dig a deeper pit. In addition, although I didn't find the 'crystal prism' you used to monitor Mo An's every move, I judged that the ** of the ten was on you, take it out, it's a good thing, and it will really start to do it after a while, and it's a pity to break it. ”

Xuanyu was right, the masked man Artebra with the pseudonym "Charlie" did take that thing with him, and seeing that everything had been revealed, he became more and more indifferent at this moment, he took out the "crystal prism" from his arms and threw it to Xuanyu: "Are you taking a fancy to my treasure?"

Xuanyu smiled: "Clever!" Immediately, he took the treasure in his hand and played with it, it was a drop-shaped pendant, the whole body was crystal clear, and through the reflection of light, it also vaguely showed a colorful color.

"I'm afraid you can't even get this thing in the Wish Shop. Xuanyu was satisfied with the "crystal prism" into his arms, "Thank you." ”

Artebo's nose snorted: "I know that I am not your opponent, so I am willing to give it to you." You don't need to say thank you pretendly!" he glanced at Rod, "as a man who is on the same side as the leader of the wild wolves, his methods of stealing people and things are not ordinary. ”

Artebra's sarcasm caused Lucia's dissatisfaction, and if it hadn't been pulled by Mo'an, I'm afraid Artalbe's jaw would have been knocked off at this time. However, Xuanyu was still as calm as ever, and his good mood was not affected by Artbo's sarcasm, and he smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I won't make a move on you, one is that you are not worthy." Two......" He turned around and patted Rod on the shoulder, "Today is the day when Rod settles accounts with you." After speaking, Xuanyu also flashed to the side, and there must be a posture to watch a good show.

Rod closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Artebra, the man in the Golden Mask, the enemy who betrayed his father back then, was in front of him, and he wanted to rush up and slash him, but there were too many doubts left by the events of that year, and this was a good opportunity to ask clearly. In addition, Artebra's alias "Charlie" lurked by his side for more than three years, and he didn't realize that self-blame and remorse occupied Rod's brain, and he tried his best to suppress his emotions.

Complex emotions and too many questions finally made his trembling lips issue a brief question: "Why?"

Artebra also seemed to adjust his mentality, and he sighed: "You have always treated me as a thorn in the flesh and want to get rid of me. I can't sit still!"

"So, three years ago, you pretended to be attacked by the Praetorian Guards, and I rescued you, and then you went undercover by my side, always probing the wolf's movements!" Rod said.

"I've been pretending to be stupid by your side for three years, how about it? Acting skills are good," Arteber actually smug, "If you talk about acting rankings, the pillar of 'Pandora' won't necessarily be anyone, hahahaha." ”

"Later, you colluded with Alex Sandra to arrest my companion at the Grand Theater!" Rhodes continued, stating Artalbe's guilt.

"That's right," Arteb confessed, "I wanted to kill you in the abandoned church, but I didn't expect your kid to be so big;!"

"If you want to kill me, you can do it in the Grand Theater, why go to such trouble to lure me away?" said Rhodes.

Arteb laughed: "It's really easy to deal with a few Praetorian Guards with your martial arts, especially in the big theater you are familiar with, and one accidentally will let you run." Besides, even if I arrest you, I can't let you talk nonsense, of course, it's safer to choose to kill you secretly. It's a pity that you were allowed to run away!"

This time it was Rod who laughed: "But Alex has captured Lucia, she has not only seen you, but she is also a powerful magician, so you are scared and are about to kill them in a hurry." ”

"You're right, but this time it didn't work out!" Atber glanced at Xuanyu, "There is really no shortage of talented people here!"

"Aren't there quite a few of them around you?" said Rhodes, "who is it that controls the necromancy and makes the great spiders?"

"I can't say that. Artebo provoked, "You have the ability to check it yourself." ”

Ignoring Artebra's provocation, Rhodes then asked, "You're sneaking into Crescent Manor now just to steal that pocket watch?"

"I was supposed to be in the cabin with a 'crystal prism' to monitor it, and there was no one there, but you suddenly knocked on my door, and it really scared me at that time. "But fortunately, I improvised and hid my mask, and I became Charlie you trust again." ”

"Then you used my trust in you to find out the layout of Crescent Manor, and also found the location of the study. But because of the fear of the 'janitor' in the manor, he couldn't do it for a long time. Rhodes said.

"You're right, I drugged your wine the first night you took me into the garden, and stole the pocket watch from the study while you were asleep, but the layers of enchantments in the manor kept me from getting close there, so I went back to the cabin and buried my mask. Unexpectedly, he still found out. Artebor said as he glanced at Xuanyu.

Rod smiled bitterly: "Xuanyu probably knew your identity from the beginning, and he also guided you to find you in the cabin." After that, it was his idea to let me follow you to the Kakabu Bazaar. As he spoke, Rod also glanced at Xuanyu.

And the "initiator" of this matter just smiled and did not speak.

"So you stalked me, haha, no wonder. Artebor laughed to himself, "I thought I was smart, but I fell into your trap in the first place. ”

"Why are you doing this, and what's in it for you to steal your pocket watch?" asked Rhodes.

"I'm doing things for my master, of course, it would be perfect if I could get rid of you by the way. ”

"Who is your master?" asked Rod eagerly.

Artebra laughed, "Kid, you're too young to get to the point. You asked so bluntly, did you think I would tell the identity of the owner directly?"

"I almost forgot, you're not Charlie. Rod frowned, "But if you're Artebra, you should be much older than me, what...... Why does your face look younger than me?"

Speaking of this topic, Artebo's eyes clearly revealed melancholy and struggle: "This is not thanks to your father James Epock, my face has not changed since that day more than ten years ago. ”

Attber's words made Lucia on the side a little confused, if Rod's father made him stay young forever, it should at least mean gratitude, but Attber's tone was full of deep hatred. What the hell is going on?

Rhodes and Lucia share the same doubts, but he cares more about what happened in the first place, causing him to lose contact with his father and sister one night ago.

Rhodes asked slowly, "What happened between you and my father in the first place, why did the Janissaries arrest us, and why did you betray my father?"

A series of three questions kept Arteper speechless, and at the end, he sighed and said, "If you want to know, win me." ”

As soon as Artebel's words came out, Lucia on the side was angered, she rolled up her sleeves and shouted: "Don't look at where you are, and dare to say such wild words, see that I don't tear you!"

This time, it was Xuanyu who grabbed Lucia, who was rushing forward, and he said softly: "This is a grudge between them, so let them settle it themselves." ”

"But Artebor drank the medicine, and now he has magic. Lucia said.

Xuanyu looked at Rod and just smiled, and said slowly, "You have to believe him." ”
