Chapter 175: Control
In Tom's humble hut, the poor woman almost lies on the ground begging Xuanyu to save her child. www.biquge.info A meter away, Tom struck the wall with tears in his eyes, but to no avail. Xuanyu found a chair for herself and sat down as if she wanted to enjoy a drama.
Lucia, who couldn't see it, raised her hand and wanted to shoot spiritual power into the wall to relieve Tom's siege, but the spiritual power was pushed back by Xuanyusheng.
"I'm afraid that attacking the 'Crystal Barrier' casually will harm the people inside. Xuanyu said nonchalantly, but it made Lucia's hands tremble.
Although Lucia had never seen a real "Crystal Barrier" before, she knew how powerful it was from books. Whether it is a person or a thing, as long as it is put into the "crystal barrier", it will be foolproof, outsiders can't get in, and the people inside can't escape. Opening the "Crystal Barrier" requires a series of specific procedures, and if you don't care about it, then the people or things inside will be destroyed along with the barrier. So, many magicians use it to hide their secret reads;
Xuanyu's prompt made her dispel the idea of attacking, but she was inevitably a little unwilling. Xuanyu glanced at her, and said with a smile in the corner of her eyes: "If you are quiet, it will be considered a great favor for her." ”
So, although she was unwilling, Lucia, who had no other choice, obediently returned to Xuanyu in the desperate eyes of Mother Tom.
"Can you tell me where that gold coin came from now?" Xuanyu smiled, but her tone was not gentle at all.
Tom's mother's eyes flashed, "If I tell the truth, can you guarantee Tom's safety?"
"You'll be a living Tom back then. ”
Xuanyu's words seemed to give Tom's mother a reassurance, and she made up her mind and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll say it all." The previous words were not wrong, the clothes that came with the gold coin were indeed from the Reino Palace. The only difference was that the dress was not Prince Clad's, but ...... Rather......" She looked at Xuanyu again, and then at Tom, "It's Prince Skill's!"
Hearing this, Lucia's face showed a little surprise. Although Louis had said that the prince had behaved strangely, when the testimony really pointed to him, it was somewhat incredible. Why it felt this way, Lucia couldn't tell.
"Oh, hehe......" Xuanyu laughed, "and in a short time, the two princes of this country have been involved with gold coins. ”
"I'm telling the truth!" "I'm telling the truth!" said Tom's mother, "it's Prince Skil, and the man who hired me told me in no uncertain terms that it was Prince Skil's clothes, and you have to be very careful when washing them!
"What does that person who threatens you look like?" Xuanyu said.
Mother Tom shook her head: "He's wearing a cloak and wrapping his whole body. I can't see my face at all, I just know that it's a man. ”
"What other characteristics are there?" asked Xuanyu continued.
"He was very tightly wrapped, and if you asked about the clothes, you only knew that it was an expensive fabric...... As for the rest......" Mother Tom shook her head as she spoke, and suddenly the action stopped, her eyes blinked three times, and then she looked up, "I remember! I can't see his face, but I can smell the scent!"
"Perfume?" said Lucia.
Mother Tom shook her head: "I'm poor and can't afford perfume." So I don't know if the fragrance is perfume, I just know that it's a faint fragrance, a little sweet, something I've never smelled before. ”
"If you smell that fragrance again, can you tell it?" Xuanyu said.
Tom's mother nodded heavily: "Yes, I can do this!"
"Uh-huh......" Xuanyu put her hand in front of her forehead, and under her long eyelashes, her deep eyes turned slightly, "In that case, I will believe you once." With that, he stood up and walked towards the "Crystal Barrier", and with a wave of his hand, the barrier disappeared without a trace.
Tom rushed straight into his mother's arms, and the two hugged each other and cried bitterly. If it had been such a touching scene before, Lucia would have indulged in it, but this time she really didn't have that mood.
"Wait, how can it be so easy to open the crystal barrier?" Lucia's eyes showed her dissatisfaction with the result when she said this, and at the same time, although it was a question, the answer had already formed in her heart in the ensuing loud laughter of Xuanyu, "You were lying to me just now! This is not a crystal barrier at all!"
"When you encounter the real crystal barrier, you must open my eyes too!" Xuanyu said with a smile.
"You don't tell half the truth!" Lucia stomped her foot in anger, but before she could fully express her temper, Mother Tom suddenly took her hand.
"Kind young lady!" she said while crying, "I told the truth today, that person will not let us two go, please do it to the end, help us again!"
"This ......" Lucia, who had lost her mind, instantly forgot that she was still angry just now, and threw her begging eyes at Xuanyu.
This time, Xuanyu didn't ramble, and simply said, "I can help you this time!"
Because Xuanyu agreed too simply, Lucia was a little hard to believe: "How are you going to place them?"
Xuanyu shrugged her shoulders: "I guess Mo'an lacks a maid there." ”
Lucia twitched the corners of her mouth with a "I know" expression. In her opinion, Mr. Mo An's Crescent Moon Manor is Xuanyu's storeroom, whether it is a person, a thing, or a demon, just throw it all to Mo An. Thinking of this, Lucia couldn't help but sigh for the owner of Crescent Manor.
Tom and his mother basically didn't have any possessions, so they followed Xuanyu and Lucia to live in Crescent Moon Manor that day, and the matter was over, but the investigation into the gold coins continued. After settling the Tom family, Lucia returned to the courtyard to see Xuanyu's back blend with the gloom of early winter.
"What are you thinking?" said Lucia.
"What about you?" Xuanyu asked rhetorically.
"Me?" Lucia's gaze wandered, "I don't know why, I always felt that something was wrong. ”
Xuanyu laughed: "It's worthy of my blood-absorbing beast, even if it doesn't have anything, it can still detect something intuitively." ”
"Wait, what do you mean?" Lucia frowned.
"Do you think what Mother Tom said is true?" Xuanyu suddenly threw out this sentence, which really surprised Lucia.
"It doesn't look like it's fake!" said Lucia, "and there's no reason for her to lie!"
Xuanyu laughed again: "This is his cleverness!"
"He?" Lucia said inexplicably.
"He's an old acquaintance with us!" said Xuanyu.
"Someone who uses the Soul Snatcher?" Lucia thought for a moment.
"No, no, no......" Xuanyu turned, "Earlier than him, the man who used gold coins to control Sam, do you remember?"
Lucy thought for a moment, shook her head, and said, "I haven't seen him, but...... I have the impression that this man is a master of spiritism!"
A satisfied smile appeared on Xuanyu's face: "You're right, he's a master of manipulation." I've played a few tricks with him, and he's probably capable of controlling more than just necromancy. ”
"In addition to the necromancy, I am afraid that the consciousness of the living will also be controlled by it...... Lucia replied as she thought about it, "but Mother Tom doesn't look like she is being controlled......"
"Maybe she hasn't even noticed it yet...... Xuanyu said softly, "What about that kind of control!"
