Unlike the laid-back Xuanyu and Lucia, Louis has a lot to do as the captain of the Praetorian Guard. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Egreme's spate of murders is still piled up as high as a hill, and that's not counting the missing cases. Although Louie's instincts told her that the cases were related to the Golden Society, there was no evidence. There was also no evidence of her suspicions about Prince Skil, but the suspicion alone was enough to make Louis wary of the prince.

On the other side, in addition to the opponent who used the "Spirit Capture Technique", there were also those mysterious gold coins that gave Xuanyu a headache. Although the three recoveries are no longer a big problem, it is impossible to tell how many of these harmful things are still missing. Although Xuanyu does not have the so-called compassion for human life, this is his duty as a blood demon. But Lucia is not, she used to be a human and she doesn't want to see anyone cursed with gold coins again, I don't know if it was Lucia's appeal that affected Xuanyu's mood, or if he himself found it funny, all in all, after Louis left Crescent Manor, he half-jokingly announced that he was going to start investigating the gold coins.

Mo An was noncommittal, but Lucia happily followed Xuanyu's side. Watching them walk out of the room, Mo An's brows tightened again, and he wanted to say something but didn't say it. Sometimes, there are some things that you never get a chance to do without saying it.

In the slum of Egrim, Tom's mother had just finished a day's work and dragged her tired body in the direction of home. She had earned a hundred dissols that day, so she came home a little later than usual, but she thought it was worth it, and with the money she could buy Tom some clothes for the winter. Thinking of this, she forgot about her tiredness and quickened her pace.

The early winter of Egrem had arrived, and the slums were even bleaker in the twilight. The once gentle wind had become a bit biting, and Mother Tom tugged at the worn shawl that had been draped over her. Although there were no other figures on the road, she was not scared when she made a turn in front of her home. In other words, since the demon transformation, Tom's mother feels that there is nothing more terrible in the world.

But fate often waits in the most unexpected places, and in that corner, a ghostly figure emerges in the dark corner. A black robe obscured his face, only a pair of slender jade hands were exposed, and the bright and dazzling red nails added a strange color to the bleak scene.

When Xuanyu and Lucia visited Tom's house again, it was already the morning of the next day. Standing in front of Tom's house like last time felt completely different. There is no black fog and a thick demonic aura, but instead there is a warm sun.

Lucia stretched, her eyes full of joy: "Sure enough, our 'Light Clan' still likes the sun, and although the Crescent Moon Manor is good, it is too gloomy after all." ”

"If you say that, Mo'an will be sad. Xuanyu chuckled, "But blood demons who like the sun are rare. ”

"You don't have to remind me everywhere," Lucia pouted, "and besides, I want to be a member of the Light Clan more than a blood demon!"

"People like you are definitely cheap and obedient, and no matter what, I, as the master, will not be as knowledgeable as you. Xuanyu sighed.

"I'm not your servant!" Lucia said, "but I can't figure out what a liquid thing like gold coins can represent even if she asks her about its origin, and maybe where the people before it got it, and if you search for it one by one, I'm afraid it will be endless." ”

"Although what you say is true, I am sure that there will not be too many twists and turns from the original source of the gold coins to my hands, and even if there is a possibility that there will be only one or two changes of ownership during this period. Xuanyu said.

"How dare you be so sure?"

Xuanyu knocked Lucia's head: "Are you also sunburned here?" Once the gold coin with the evil spirit is touched, it will quickly take away its mind, and the destructive power after the demon transformation is not something that a slum or an earl's mansion can bear. If these three coins had been in other hostels before, then Egrim would be very busy!"

"Sounds reasonable, but why don't you ask this in the first place?" Lucia said, "weren't you there the last time Rhodes and I fought here?"

"If I rush in at that time," Xuanyu laughed, "will you be tense with me?"

Lucia nodded: "It's really possible!"

"Of course that's not the main reason," Xuanyu stretched, "At that time, I was only interested in you, and nothing else was in my eyes. ”

Hearing this, Lucia's face turned red suddenly: "Although I know what you mean, as a friend, I have the obligation to remind you that you don't say such things to girls easily, it will ...... It will invite unnecessary trouble......"

"What's the trouble?"

I don't know if Xuanyu really didn't understand or did it on purpose, all in all, when he tilted his head and leaned over, Lucia felt that her cheeks were burning badly.

"Don't talk about it!" she hurriedly changed the subject, "let's get down to business." So saying, she ran and knocked on the door, and in a few moments the door opened.

It was Mother Tom who opened the door, and unlike the last time, there was no weirdness, just a little pale. Seeing Lucia and Xuanyu behind her, she didn't seem surprised, but said calmly: "It's a life-saving benefactor, please come in." ”

With that, she took a step back and let Lucia and Xuanyu into the room. The furnishings in the house are the same as before, but much cleaner. It's just that Tom's mother is still the only one now, and it looks a little cold.

"Why, Tom isn't at home again?" asked Lucia.

"Children are naughty and don't know where to play. Tom's mother said, after saying that, she glanced at Xuanyu out of the corner of her eye, accidentally met his gaze, and turned her head directly as if she had been electrocuted, "Do you have something to ask me here?"

"That's right," said Lucia, "then I'll get to the point! Where did you get that cursed gold coin?"

Tom's mother blinked: "I already said, it fell out of the pocket of my clothes when I was doing laundry, and I picked it up greedily before I was paid by the evil spirit." ”

"Can you be specific, such as where the clothes were washed, or which family's clothes? Lucia asked.

Although Tom's mother lowered her head as she spoke, her wandering gaze was caught by Xuanyu's eyes, and he turned around and looked around.

Mother Tom hesitated, but finally answered Lucia's question: "That person won't let me say that we should have kept it a secret...... But since the savior asked, and it was about such a terrible gold coin, I had to tell the truth...... This garment was sent from the Reino Palace!"

"Reino Palace?!" Lucia was shocked, she turned to Xuanyu, but the other party was as calm as usual, but the corners of her mouth were a little more playful.
