Chapter 44: Rod's Purpose

The masked man guessed well, Lucia was indeed at Crescent Manor. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 However, what they didn't expect was that in addition to Lucia, the "wolf spirit" that gave them a headache was also there. Rhodes, who was rescued as a "wolf", fell asleep until the evening of the day Lucia rescued him and returned through the time tunnel.

He rubbed his eyes and sat up, he was the only one in the room. He didn't know where it was, or what year or month it was. He remembered that he had been saved by Lucia in front of the ruined church, and that the face of the impostor masked man, and he slammed his fist on the bed.

The punch seemed to touch a switch, and the door was opened. Red hair, turquoise eyes, is Lucia. She carried a tray full of delicacies from the mountains and the sea. Seeing that Rod woke up, she laughed: "He was right, and he woke up." ”

Rod didn't care who Lucia meant by "he", he was more concerned about where he was now, and what would happen to his brothers at the Theatre Royal after that night. He knew that he had been fooled, and he had been haunted by this matter.

"You're really going to die." Lucia put the food in front of Rod, "Surely she must be hungry." ”

Rod just looked at the food and said, "Thank you for saving me, can you tell me what happened?" ”

Lucia nodded food with her chin: "Eat it, I'll tell you." "I learned this trick from Xuanyu.

Rhodes was really hungry, he hadn't eaten for several days, if he hadn't been in a coma all the time, coupled with Xuanyu's spell, he would definitely not have survived now, so he devoured it. Soon, the food in the tray was swept away, and the remaining soup in the bowl was scraped, and Rhodes looked up, his beard, which had grown out of a long time, was covered with food scraps and sauce.

"Hahaha," Lucia laughed heartily, "I can't imagine that the handsome young man who is popular, the big star Rhodes also has today, if those noble ladies see the way you are now, how many will they faint?" ”

"Don't forget, I'm still a thief, this image is not just right." Rod smiled bitterly, then wiped his mouth with the cloth on the tray, "Okay, can you tell me now?" ”

Lucia pulled a chair, sat down in front of Rod's bed, and told him what happened at the Royal Theatre after Rhodes left that day and later saved Rhodes in front of the dilapidated church, and told him everything in between, of course, she didn't say a word about the blood demon.

After hearing this, Rhodes sighed: "It's my fault for getting you involved, and I made you suffer." ”

Lucia tilted her head to look at Rod, although she was a robber, she was really a gentle person, no wonder so many girls liked it.

"So," said Rhodes, "this is Crescent Manor?" ”

"That's right," Lucia added, "Mr. Moan's mansion." ”

Rod smiled: "Do you still want my gems?" I didn't have it with me. ”

Lucia rolled her eyes: "I already knew, you searched a hundred times when you were unconscious." And it's not me who wants it, it's Mr. Mo'an. ”

Rod put the tray on the table and got out of bed. He had just eaten and his body had gained strength, so he did a few stretches and found that the injuries on his body were really healed.

"Hey, don't act rashly, this is Crescent Manor!" Lucia said nervously.

"Don't worry, I won't run." Rod shook his neck, "I've long wanted to come to Crescent Moon Manor to visit Mr. Moan, and now is my chance. He turned to Lucia, "Although you and I have a life-saving grace, the gem is still between me and Moan, and you are not only here to bring me food, but also to other things." ”

"Clever." Lucia laughed twice, walked to the door of the room, opened the door, bent down slightly, and stretched out a hand: "Mr. Mo'an, please!" ”

She followed Lucia out of the room, then went up and down, left and right, and walked for a long time until she came to a palatial door. Lucia held the handle and slowly pushed the door inward, and the lights inside were brilliant, so that Rod couldn't open his eyes for a while. He had long heard that Mr. Mo'an's mansion was very gorgeous, and when he saw it today, it was indeed the case, which deepened his previous judgment about Mo'an, he definitely didn't ask for gems for money.

At this time, Mo An was sitting on the sofa in the middle when he heard the sound of the door opening, stood up and turned around slowly. When Rod saw Mo An for the first time, he was amazed by his youth, and even a little suspicious, but soon, in Mo An's old eyes, such doubts were dispelled.

This room is large, in addition to the reception area where Mo An is located, there is a stove, bookshelves and hundreds of colorful books on it. There are many candlesticks on the table around the table, and the light of the fire beats, illuminating the room. In addition to this, there were innumerable ornaments, and three or five servants stood aside waiting for orders. There was an open space in the back of the room, a terrace, with a chaise longue and a small table with grapes in a fruit bowl, on which Xuanyu was curled up lazily and eating intently. For some reason, compared to Mo An, Rode, who had never seen Xuanyu, cared more about this stranger with an oriental face.

"'Wolf spirit', it's better to hear than to see!" Mo'an's greetings drew Rod's gaze back to the center of the room, and Mo'an motioned for Rhodes to sit on the sofa opposite, with a coffee table between the two.

"Where, you are worthy of your name." The politeness of Rod and Moan made Lucia bored, and she turned and walked in the direction of the terrace.

"I like to get straight to the point," Mo An said with a wave of his hand as he watched the servants finish pouring their tea, "please don't mind." ”

"It just so happens that I'm the same character." Rod picked up his teacup and sniffed it.

"We saved you," Mo An leaned his whole body on the back of the sofa and said with an indifferent expression, "In exchange, give me the gem." ”

Rod smiled faintly: "Mr. Mo An is worthy of being a businessman, and he can still do this when buying and selling." He took a sip of the tea, and shook his head as if intoxicated by the scent of tea.

"Oh?" Mo An leaned forward slightly, "How do you say that?" ”

"I didn't ask for anything to save me, and I didn't make it clear that I wanted to exchange my life for gems at the beginning, so it seems a bit of a forced purchase to do such a business now." Rhodes Road.

Mo An smiled: "It seems that it's a pity for you to be an actor and a thief." In this way, you make a price, as long as you can open it, I will give it. ”

Rod was not in a hurry, he crossed Erlang's legs, and his eyes scanned around: "Everyone knows that Mr. Mo An is rich and rivals, since you said so, then I will make an offer." He pretended to mysteriously beckon Mo An to approach, and the heads of the two were almost pressed together on the top of the coffee table, "I want all your possessions!" ”

Mo An was startled, and stood up suddenly, but Rod didn't move, and said slowly: "Or, the pocket watch in Mr. Mo An's hand." ”
