31. Joker and Fulindona

Lycia was walking down the streets of Chidobach in a dusty plush coat, and she ordered a carriage waiting for her to take her back to the academy.

"Poof, poof. A man with clumpy hair was following Lycia, growing faster and faster until he was about to catch up with her.

"It's me, Miss. ”

Lycia looked back in surprise, and a face painted with white oil paint appeared abruptly behind her.

"Mr. Bouddingkit?" Lycia remembered the clown-faced man well, it was so ugly, too scary.

"Oh, of course, that's me. The red paint on the corners of his mouth was very irregular, with one side behind the ear and the other on the edge of the chin.

"Look to the left, look to the left, there. The clown Puddingkit pointed to the black bag at the bottom of the steps in front of a flour shop. "Someone will take the bag later, you follow him, remember?"

Lycia nodded blankly, and was about to say why she was doing it, when Bouddingkit vanished.

The sheriffs wandering by the side of the road did not seem to notice this, and Lycia had already seen the carriage waiting for her, right in front of the flour shop.

She walked forward, passed the flour shop, and looked inside, where there were several civilians standing, and she couldn't tell the difference between them.

Walking to the carriage, she couldn't help but look back.

Just in time to see a man with a hunched back, a patched hat, and half a bag of flour on his shoulder, walking out of a pair of bad-to-cloth shoes, he picked up the black bag on the steps and walked in the opposite direction of Lycia's return.

If you don't take the carriage back to the academy now, you won't be able to go back.

Lycia struggled for a long time, and finally gritted her teeth and followed.

The coachman stood there with a silver coin. "Miss, do I still have to wait for you?" The silver coin was enough for her to ride back and forth three times.

"No need. Lycia didn't look back, and kept up with the man with an unhurried pace.

Lycia speculated in her heart, judging by the sheer opinion and height of 70 percent on the top of her head, that she thought it was most likely her brother Keith Campbell.

And his route was to the noble cemetery.

After her mother's death, Lycia has been longing for her brother to come home and afraid of him coming home.

The man with the black bag led her through several alleys where there were no people.

In the end, I came to the door of the noble cemetery.

"Brother, is that you?" Lycia stepped forward eagerly, it was getting late now, and only the tomb guard circle walking back and forth in the cemetery was still glowing.

"Miss!" the man with the black bag turned his head suddenly, his neat hair became messy, his body changed greatly, and he showed a mouthful of bloody teeth. "It's me, haha, Puddingkit, I didn't expect that. ”

Lycia paused for a moment, and then she realized that the favorability bar on his head had dropped to zero, and the twin coat of arms could completely imitate a person.

"Where's my brother?" Lycia felt for the silver thorns in her bag. "Don't come here. ”

A very twisted smile appeared on Buddingkit's face. "That fool of Keith, he almost died at the hands of the church. ”

"What are you bringing me here for?" Lycia took two steps back, she had a feeling that the Joker's strength was far above her.

"Heraldic stone, eldest lady, your mother's heraldic stone, carrier pigeon. Boudinket took two steps forward, and Lycia took two steps back.

"I warn you, stay away from me, although there is no one else in the cemetery, I know how to activate the tomb guard. Lycia took off her heavy plush coat and put on a battle stance.

"Don't be nervous, Miss. The clown cleared his throat. "Your brother called me, and he needs a heraldic stone that can deliver a message quickly. ”

Lycia shook her head. "I don't believe it. ”

With all the years she had known Keith, he would never have known the news of his mother's death, and instead of showing up, he instructed her to steal the heraldic stone.

As if it were a bolt of lightning, Boudinket came behind Lycia and grabbed her hair with one hand.

"Don't talk so much nonsense, little girl, if you don't get the heraldic stone today, then next month, the people of the church will also dig it up and throw it into Catherine Cathedral. Bouddingket said fiercely.

Lycia tried to attack him with thorns, but was unable to do so.

He reappeared on Lycia's other side. "Don't think about it. ”

"You asked me to dig up my mother's grave, that can't be!" growled Lycia, hoping that someone would pass by and hear it now.

"Listen, little girl, you give me a little noise, if people can hear it, then your family is completely finished, and now you quietly help me steal the heraldic stone, and you can make the church suspect your brother. Puddingkit's saliva squirted all over Lycia's delicate face.

Lycia resisted the urge to vomit and wrestled with Puddingkit. "You let me go first, and then there is room for negotiation. ”

The clown Puddingkit is not fooled. "Do you think I didn't see it, well, how did you confuse that master?"

Lycia longed to turn back time, if she gritted her teeth and got into the carriage, nothing would have happened.

"No, I never. She said stubbornly. "Even if you kill me, I won't give you this badass heraldic stone. ”

Puddingkit babbled and stomped his feet.

He probably wouldn't be able to kill Lycia either.

Just as the situation was at a stalemate, Lycia heard a rush of footsteps.

"Puddingkit, stop. "This time it's the owner of the bookstore, Flindona.

"Miss Lycia, I'm so sorry. Fulindona forced the Joker to let go of Lycia.

"We do need heraldic stones, and we can do a little bit of an exchange with you. ”

Lycia shook her head decisively. "No, I don't want you to destroy my mother's body. ”

"Don't you want to know, well, the real cause of the Duchess's death?" Fulindona straightened his thick mustache.

Lycia was stunned for a moment. "Do you know why?"

"You have to look at the corpse to know. As Fulindona spoke, the clown Boudinket, who kept snorting, swirled around Lycia.

"Listen, we're not going to destroy the Duchess's body, we're just trying to get the heraldic before the church, and Miss Lycia must have known what the church was doing, they controlled all the heraldic stones, and they were hiding a big piece of news. "Fulindona is a good one.

"What's the big news?" Lycia picked up the plush coat on the floor and wrapped it up, it was so cold that her limbs were starting to stiffen.

"The people on the other side of the Eye of the Dead Sea have reached the Empire of Thorns. Fulindona looked at Lycia and said.
