Chapter 176: The Second Lie
Xuanyu curled up in a corner of the Crescent Manor Garden, grabbed the fresh grapes from the bowl at random, and put them in his mouth. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Lucia paced impatiently in front of him, muttering something as she went. In the end, she ruffled the red curly hair, and fell in front of Xuanyu with a "bang": "I really can't figure it out!"
"What don't you understand?" said Xuanyu as she ate, "It's just an ordinary trick." ā
"You said that Mother Tom was manipulated, but she didn't know it. Lucia said confusedly, "That doesn't make sense." ā
"Is it hard to understand?" Xuanyu chuckled, "This kind of magic is not common, because humans can do it, they call it hypnosis." ā
"Ah~!" Xuanyu's words made Lucia mouth pause, "So Tom's mother thinks she is telling the truth, but in fact it is still false!"
Xuanyu nodded: "But what she has on her is indeed magic." ā
"What kind of magic is it?" Lucia wondered, "I don't even know!"
"It's said that he's a manipulator," Xuanyu explained, "and in addition to manipulating the will of the necromantic and the living, he can also manipulate human memories!"
"Control other people's memories...... Lucia's eyes were full of disbelief, "It's really an unpopular magic!But, when you think about it, this spell is really powerful! If people's memories can be changed, then what truth is there in the world!"
"It's not easy for you to think of this layer, but ......," Xuanyu pointed to her head, "but you underestimate the human brain." In the long river of time, human beings who coexist with powerful magic, demons and monsters, with their weak abilities, have multiplied, and not only that, their living space is still expanding, can't such human beings have their own magic weapons?"
"Law...... Magic weapon?" Lucia blinked, "What magic weapon?"
Xuanyu spread out his hand: "You, a former human being, don't know, how can I, a blood demon who has never asked about the human world before, know?"
Lucia rolled her eyes: "I think you'll only say something mysterious to fool me." Wait a minute, then......" Lucia suddenly realized, "Prince Skill is innocent?"
Xuanyu was noncommittal. Lucia continued, "Whether it's Prince Skill or Prince Clad, his purpose is to direct our attention to the palace!"
"It's the same trick as a fake gem. Xuanyu said.
"In other words, although we don't know the origin of the gold coins now, one thing is certain, that is, the gold coins can never come from Reino Palace;!" Lucia became more and more excited, "but this man's plan is really thorough, although I saw through Tom's mother's first lie, I didn't notice that the second one is still a lie!" Speaking of this, Lucia showed admiration for Xuanyu, "How did you guess?"
"Although he is delicately arranged, it is still very secret. Xuanyu grabbed another handful of grapes, "If it were me, if I really wanted to threaten Tom's life, I wouldn't hide him where my opponent could easily reach him." This betrays his purpose, and he wants us to expose the first lie. ā
Before you know it, night falls. Once again, the bustling King's Street has returned to its tranquility, and tonight's moon has been hiding in the thick clouds, making the streets pitch black. The lights of the houses had long since been extinguished, and even the place near Palazzo Reino was as dead as hell at this time.
Such a street is not suitable for living people, but it is the love of another group of people. This was the only time he wanted to swagger down the street, and by the time Eripu thought so, he had been walking for a long time. If it weren't for the rude intrusion of another string of footsteps into his ears, I'm afraid he would still be in the same good mood as before.
"Aren't you afraid of being seen?" said Elip.
He didn't even have to look back to know that the person was following him, and he didn't stop talking to the person behind him.
"What am I afraid of?" said the man behind him, "even if someone finds out, I have a statement, but it's you who ......"
"What's so suspicious about me? If it were a girl, maybe she would throw herself into my arms. Elip said, hooking the corners of his mouth.
"That's not what I'm talking about...... the man behind him was not in a hurry, he and Elip always kept a distance, a distance that was not close but enough to hear each other's words, "I'm just curious, how long do you want to wear Elip's skin?"
Hearing this, "Elipo" stopped, but it was only a second, and he began to walk leisurely again: "Good eyesight!"
"Who are you, what do you want to do, none of this is my business, just ......" the person behind him, "you don't get in my way." ā
"Oh, am I getting in your way?" said Elipo, raising an eyebrow.
"I'm a person who likes to make arrangements early so that I don't get scrambling. The person behind him said unhurriedly, "If you have anything, try to inform me as early as possible." ā
"Elipo" sneered, "Are you really thinking I'm working for you?"
R let out a low laugh, "We can work together." ā
"I never work with stupid people!" said Ellip coldly.
Obviously, this made R feel uncomfortable: "Stupid?"
"You think you're smart, but I'm afraid you'll end up being clever and mistaken!" "Elipo" finally stopped, "Your trick can't fool Xuanyu." ā
"As far as I can tell, he's already convinced!" R took a few steps forward, standing side by side with "Elip."
Elip scoffed, "Otherwise, you're stupid." If I had killed the mother and son, but now that they were protected in Crescent Manor, I wouldn't have the chance to do anything about it. ā
"I don't think that Xuanyu is so powerful!" R's arms were crossed over his shoulders, and his eyes were staring straight ahead.
"He's a fox," "Elipo" followed R's gaze, and before the two of them was the closed door of the Reino Palace.
R's brow furrowed slightly, and his mind was a little confused.
"You should learn to improvise," said Eripo, his appearance began to change, and in an instant, the beautiful blond man was gone, and standing in front of R was a dark-haired man with black, slender eyes more like a cunning fox.
"You're also from the East?" R, looking at the man in front of him.
A smile floated on the Oriental man's cheeks: "In Xia Chu Qing, if you need it, I can help you." ā
"You're not at the mercy of your master, so why do you want to help us?"
"I'm just interested in that person, the one named Xuanyu!"
When Chu Shuqing mentioned the name "Xuanyu", R was almost certain that he saw extreme excitement in the other party's black eyes. Something moving seemed to pass through his eyes, but it was too fast to catch. R didn't want to delve into the relationship between Chu Shuqing and Xuanyu, after all, after the death of the Twin Demon Puppet and Elip, the Golden Secret Society needed companions rather than enemies!
