The Crescent Manor, located on the high ground on the east side of Agrim, is said to be the most luxurious place outside of the Royal Palace, and its owner, Mr. Moan, is not only the richest man in Agrim, but also one of the few in the entire Angnose with his assets. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info But Mr. Mo An is very low-key, and usually does not go half a step out of the manor, so few people have seen him, but he is Lucia's employer, and he personally hired her at the Golden Monkey Tavern three days ago, and Lucia did not live up to Mr. Mo An's expectations, and successfully got the pocket watch. Although Lucia had met Mr. Moan once, Crescent Manor was here for the first time.

Standing at the gate of the Crescent Manor, Lucia was a little dazed and at a loss, and there was no edge in sight from the inside of the huge carved iron door. There was no doorbell, no servant, no lock on the door, Lucia pushed the door open by herself, and instantly felt like another world, quiet and distant, with the scent of violets in the air, and the sun was soft and peaceful, sprinkled on the road in front of Lucia, and the trees on both sides were lush, and the breeze picked up the branches, as if beating the song of the oriole.

Lucia walked along the road, humming a song and enjoying it, and after a long time, it suddenly became clear that the trees on both sides were replaced by a meadow, and the grass was full of flowers, and bees and butterflies flew up and down. In the garden, the fountain of the white angel statue is located in the center, and the corridor spreads out from both sides of the fountain. Flowers of all colors compete around the fountain, seemingly irregular, but they don't look chaotic at all.

On the opposite side of the garden, you can clearly see the villa-like building, majestic and magnificent, which should be the residence of Mr. Moan, but Lucia has no intention of moving forward at all, she kneels in front of the fountain, folds her hands in prayer, and silently recites the words in her mouth as if from another language, and within a cup of tea, the surroundings change, and a new message appears in the breeze, like the soft whisper of a woman, like the sound of the strings being plucked. The water splash of the fountain under the bright sun, showing seven colors of brilliance, each drop of water is round and tumbling, like a feathered butterfly, gradually giving birth to a pair of cicada wing-like wings, and the humanoid body is gradually revealed. If you look closely, although she is only an inch long and her body is transparent, her eyebrows and eyes are the same as Lucia's.

Lucia opened her hands, and felt a coolness, and the elf appeared in the palm of her hand through the back of her hand. Four or five meters away, a man with black hair and black eyes appeared behind Lucia and saw her fingers flipping...... The corners of the mouth are slightly raised. Lucia turned around vigilantly, and the young man in front of her in Oriental clothes, his face was snow-white and bloodless, if it wasn't for the daylight, Lucia would have thought he was a vampire!

"Who are you?" Lucia asked to break the silence.

"I ...... It's you ......," the man dropped the inexplicable sentence with a blank face and vanished.

"Stranger!" Lucia used her spiritual powers to track but found nothing, it turned out that there was an enchantment, she turned to look at the location of the fountain again, and the elves had turned into droplets of water and floated down.

Entering the castle, Lucia was taken to the living room by a valet, which had to be navigated through a long, narrow and dark corridor that was very different from the scenery outside. The sculptures on both sides seem to come to life in the candlelight, peeking strangely at the people who come and go. Coming to the living room, the antique and somewhat warm style contrasted sharply with the corridor, Moan sat on the sofa, and when he saw Lucia, he stood up with a smile and ordered the servant to serve tea.

"Miss Lucia, please be seated. ”

Moan seems to be unusually friendly today, but maybe it's just that I'm just interested in what I have. Thinking of this, Lucia decided that there was no need to waste time on meaningless politeness, and she chose to get straight to the point.

"This is what you want," she took out the pocket watch from her bosom and handed it to Moan, "If it's okay, we'll ...... Checkout?"

"Are you kidding?" Moan's voice suddenly became much colder.

"Huh?" Surprised by the change in Moan's attitude, for a moment, Lucia was a little overwhelmed.

Mo An pointed to a place in the pocket watch and handed it to Lucia: "Here, there is a gem missing!"

Only then did Lucia realize that there was indeed something missing at 12 o'clock, and that there should have been a gem?

"Ahh

Mo An got up and said, "You'd better do what you say, otherwise not only will you not be able to get those 10,000 Tysols, but you'll probably lose even more." ”

Moan's tone was cold and unusual, Lucia had reason to believe that he was angry, and the most important thing now was to recover the gem, so she laughed dryly twice and hurried away.

After seeing Lucia off, Moan went to the second floor, where there was a large balcony with a chaise longue and a round table with a pot of delicious and juicy cherries. The black-haired man was half-reclining on a chaise longue, facing the direction of the garden, squinting lazily as he put cherries into his mouth one by one.

"As you expected, Xuanyu ......," Mo An stepped up the last step, "the gem is gone." ”

Seeing that Xuanyu didn't say anything, Mo An walked over and sat on the armrest of the chaise longue: "I don't understand where she attracted you, you have to let me hire her," Mo An let out a long sigh, "This type of girl is everywhere ......"

"Shh~~~" Xuanyu's slender finger was placed on his lips, and then motioned for Mo An to look out of the balcony. In the courtyard on the first floor, Lucia was looking up at this place, Mo An and her eyes met, and she couldn't help but dodge, and in order to hide his embarrassment, he coughed twice.

"I saw her summon a water spirit......" Xuanyu said, not listening to her tone.

"So what?" Moan sat across from him, "a third-rate magician can do it!"

A slight arc climbed up the corner of Xuanyu's mouth: "What if it's a holy water elf?"

Hearing Xuanyu's words, Mo An's hand that was about to grab the few cherries left on the plate stopped, and he couldn't help but look out of the balcony again, Lucia had already walked away, and could only see her background.

"That'...... So what?" In order to hide his embarrassment, Mo An subconsciously brushed his hair.

"Mo An......" Xuanyu interrupted him, "It's true that her abilities are not high, but the magic she uses is very out-of-the-box, and her identity is more than just a small bounty hunter or a low-level magician...... * Pointing at the cherry juice on his fingers, he swept his gaze over the empty plate, "Bring some more." ”

For a moment, Mo An felt fresh and funny, after all, the other party had never made such a request for so many years.
