Finger taps on the round table quickened.

Liao Qi at the dinner party returned to a state of being alone.

William and Cradon have already left, and the original two, if they hadn't been stopped by Liao Qi, wouldn't have been willing to waste too much time on him as a human being.

Therefore, after briefly explaining Liao Qi's confusion and the basic rules of the qualifying battle, he casually found an excuse to leave.

"Well, the tracking mark has been added, what are you going to do after that?"

"Reveal our location information to the other demon contestants in the ranked battle, this is planning to borrow a knife to kill... Is it? ”

Looking at the backs of these two, Liao Qi shook his head.

It's too easy to guess.

Compared with William's plan, Liao Qi is still more concerned about the other thing, and he inadvertently seems to be connected with new information.

With a flip of his palm, a brown note appeared in Liao Qi's palm.

【No. 7 in District 3】

【Lily】

Staring at the crooked two lines of text on it.

After a long while, Liao Qi took it back again.

"Should..."

"It's just that you're thinking too much, aren't you?"

He muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear.

Liao Qi really couldn't believe the ridiculous possibility that he had gradually sketched out in his mind.

After all, even an unreliable person like him, just thinking about it, feels that it's really...

It's crazy.

Call...

Liao Qi, who stretched out his arm and took a long breath, threw these to the back of his mind first.

It doesn't matter what others do, but what he should think about the most at the moment is...

"Forget it, don't wait, find someone to ask."

Liao Qi stood up from his position.

He pulled it over, a servant of the castle who happened to be walking this way.

"I ask you, have you seen Miss Eluna?"

"Erin asked me to find her something."

This subordinate was stunned for a moment after Liao Qi's question, but after hearing Erin's name, he quickly began to recall it carefully without thinking about it.

But soon, the servants after shook their heads.

"No... No. ”

"Second Miss doesn't seem to be here for dinner today." There was a hint of uncertainty in the subordinate's tone.

"Is it..."

A hint of discoloration crossed Liao Qi's eyes.

After thinking about it, he suddenly asked for another name.

"As for Master Eddie, I don't think I've seen him at the dinner party."

"Uh, this..."

The servant racked his brains and began to recall again, but this time, much faster, he replied in a loud voice:

"Young Master Eddie is here, but just a moment later, it seems to have left again."

"Left?"

Liao Qi couldn't help but raise his voice a few points.

This made the subordinate on the other side a little frightened, and he hurriedly added:

"It's like... It was like there was something urgent, and I left in a hurry. ”

"Is that so..."

"Okay, I see, you can go."

Liao Qi also noticed that he had just made a little gaffe.

After waving his hand, he let the subordinate retreat first.

Next, Liao Qi, who was standing in the same place of the dinner, gradually sank his face.

In the eyes of others, these two things, perhaps on the surface, are not related at all.

But Liao Qi is clear in his heart...

It is precisely because these two situations occur at the same time that the worst is worried.

In short, calm yourself down first.

Liao Qi knew that at the moment, it would be meaningless for him to continue to stay at the dinner.

With a decision in his heart, Liao Qi quickly left the banquet hall through the back door and came to the corridor of the ancient castle.

Step 1...

Let's check the situation...

Through just a few words with the servant, Liao Qi was almost able to guess the process that could happen with a high probability.

Eluna didn't listen to his warning, and instead of borrowing any valid reason at all, she sneaked directly into Add's room.

Moreover...

It was also discovered by others.

This is also the reason why Liao Qi is now very irritable.

Once Eluna is exposed, I am afraid that I will have to be implicated behind the girl's back.

originally thought that the second young lady who could endure under Erin so much should not make such a low-level mistake.

Can...

Is it still too simple...

No matter how much he complained, it was useless, Liao Qi called up his attribute panel, and after he gritted his teeth hesitantly, he was ruthless, and assigned five attributes to the "magic power".

If he wants to investigate, of course he can't just go through the past so openly.

The hidden shadow step state is the best choice.

However, if you want to use skills, you must have the support of "magic power", and Liao Qi didn't want to improve his magic level so early.

After all, unlike the "power" attribute, the Bloodline is very sensitive to "magic", at least Erin can definitely feel the changes in him.

But...

Take back the attribute panel, and now you can't care so much, and Liao Qi is not unprepared, a prepared explanation for such an emergency.

That's it, when Liao Qi passed the corner of the next corridor...

A black mist enveloped his body.

If there are outsiders present, they will be surprised to find that at the junction between the corners, Liao Qi seems to have evaporated out of thin air, no matter which side it is, there is no trace of it.

The movement quickly rushed towards the third floor of the ancient castle.

Liao Qi couldn't support it for too long, and the shadow step in the state of movement consumed mana.

So his first goal was to go straight to the little boy, Eddie's room.

"Hmm..."

"Haven't you been blocked in your room and caught by someone?"

In his field of vision, Liao Qi saw a faint purple line extending from the door of Eddie's room to the place outside the corridor.

After this scene, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

The mechanism of action of the Shadow Step is almost equivalent to allowing the caster to enter a fog of another dimension.

Therefore, those who also use the Shadow Step magic can catch the movements of others who have not disappeared after hiding in the fog for a short period of time.

And the purple line in Liao Qi's eyes is undoubtedly Ailuna, yes.

Merely...

"Why is there only one?"

Liao Qi noticed this anomaly instantly.

It stands to reason that if he had used the Shadow Step to infiltrate from the beginning, he would have had two purple lines, one in and one out, but now he only had the one that slipped out of the room.

This proves that Aluna had no intention of using Shadowwalk in the first place.

It was only after the girl entered the room that something happened that forced Eluna to use this skill to hide.

"Sure enough, Add found out that his room had been broken into..."

After making a judgment in his heart, Liao Qi once again stared at the purple line that belonged to Eluna.

His brow furrowed again.

Because, judging from the incoherent and intermittent lines, it also reflects the huge fluctuations in the inner emotions of the caster at that time.

The feeling became more and more strange, Liao Qi no longer stayed in place.

He began to follow the purple thread of Eluna, tracing the girl's location before it dissipated.

However, as he followed the lines, the more Liao Qi could feel the abnormal state of Eluna at that time.

I'm afraid this has been, it can't be described as "panic", if you have to say it, it is likely to have been reached...

"Frightened... Is it? ”

Liao Qi had a hard time imagining what made Eluna like this.

In Add's room...

Finally...

What happened?

Even though the girl was far away from Add's room, she still hadn't lifted the state of Shadow Walk.

Or even say...

Liao Qi finally followed the purple line and stopped at the door of another room on the third floor.

And this room...

It was Eluna in her own room.

This also means that even when the girl arrives at the door of her own room, she is still afraid and frightened, and she does not dare to let her body hidden in the fog appear.

His face was expressionless, and the more he got to this time, Liao Qi began to calm down more and more.

He lowered his head and retracted the knock he was about to make.

And when Liao Qi raised his head again, the pair of dark eyes were ancient, and the color of emotion had already disappeared quickly.

Because next, if necessary...

He's probably going to do something he's hating the most.

Slowly put the palm of his hand on the doorknob of the girl's room.

Subsequently, in Liao Qi's skill column, a skill that he had obtained long ago but had never been used for, at this moment, finally came to use.

"Pick the lock."

Liao Qi softly read out the name of the skill.

In an instant, a burst of white light flashed from the palm of his hand, and the lock-picking skill at the full level was far from being something that could be blocked by the doors of the Blood Clan's ancient castle.

That's it...

Click...

A short crisp sound sounded, followed by the girl's closed door, which was hidden in front of Liao Qi.
