Arcanis returned home and asked Elena to go with him to Jacob's estate, and the latter agreed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the day of departure, Elena became nervous, and after the passion of the initial encounter, the gap in reality made her more and more uneasy.

She opened the cabinet door, and a formal dress hung on a hanger appeared in front of her. Elena looked at it for the first time, the corners of her clothes were a little worn, and the color was no longer as bright as it had been.

Elena only wears it on formal occasions, it is her only formal attire, and the more she looks at it, the more unpleasant it becomes, and she can't help but reach out and pinch it.

The clothes are coarse, the style is backward, and the more you look at it, the cheaper it becomes, he is not blind, it is impossible not to notice.

She turned her gaze to the dress that had only been cut yesterday, and it was surprisingly new! Chris, a true nobleman, repeatedly insisted that the clothes had to be worn without the freshness on them before they could be worn out to meet people.

Will his family look at me with the same clown gaze?, the bright colors of the clothes became more and more dazzling in Elena's brown eyes.

Did I spend all my savings for this clown-like outfit?

Elena began to regret that she didn't have much money and that most of the money she earned was sent to her mother. Her mother had to support her four little sisters, and her father died young, and her income had to be used to pay for the family's expenses - her mother's medical bills, the children's clothes and, of course, the rent.

And this morning she received a letter that her mother urgently needed a large sum of money. Oh my God, she thought everything was getting better this year.

Elena sat feebly on the bed, for the first time in her life she felt old, and though she was only 24 years old, her sisters would have to work for many years, and her mother's illness had stubbornly taken root in her poor body.

What's the use of working hard all the time, what's the use of helping others, what's the use of dating nobles? It's useless at all.

Elena grabbed her hair in annoyance, she should not let up for a moment, such as buying a useless new dress, renting out the next room to relieve the huge financial pressure.

At this time, Arcanis in the next room was also quite annoyed.

She hated being threatened, especially by being threatened to jump into a fire pit, and the book would give her nothing but verbal "intelligence" support, not a single map. Even when it comes to the "manor group", she has to figure out her own way, the reason is that the limelight is tight now, and the books will not be able to help her directly.

Imperial Intelligence.

Although Arcanis had single-handedly slain twelve well-trained vultures, the thought of the words of the Imperial Intelligence Agency made her scalp tingle. Ever since Yoo Jin, the terrifying knight, visited Camor City, even Merry could feel the tension in the air, and many god believers hiding in the shadows were pulled out and hung on the gallows. From the population employed in the workshop to read newspapers, Arcanis knew that the number was three hundred and eighty-one, the vast majority of which were due to the Imperial vultures.

Even the Scroll Society, an organization that Arcanis saw as "incomparably mysterious and unbeaten", had three members caught, all of whom were nobles. One of them was the son of the governor, and it is said that the Imperial vultures also opened fire with his family's guards. On the second day of the trial, on the third day he was hanged, and the Governor himself announced his resignation on the same day.

A crow flew by the window and pulled down a bubble of.

And she has to sneak into the Imperial Intelligence Agency today, and she has to think about not being discovered by her friends. It's like carrying a coffin to a nobleman's house to steal money, how can there be such a stupid thief in the world?

Arcarnes sighed, grabbed Melly's hind legs, dragged it back into his arms, and touched her head.

Her bandaged left hand brushed its back, and Melly's fur stood uncomfortably.

"Meow. (Crazy woman, let go.) ）

It struggled, but Arcanis held tighter.

"Well, don't move, Merry. Maybe I won't be able to touch it tomorrow. ”

The white-haired girl didn't notice the muttling cat at all, and she looked out the window, wondering if she would be the one to be the 382nd to go to the gallows.

"You can buy a suicide painless service for a silver coin. "Kazkaz was very kind to remind.

Arcanis had already saved a dozen gold coins, and the white-haired girl was surprised by how quickly she could save money, because she felt that her strength had not changed much since she came to Camor City.

"Knowledge is also power. Kazkaz explains it this way.

Although the "money" has reached double digits for the first time, and Kazkaz's strength has also helped her through many difficulties, the white-haired girl is not very optimistic, after all, this is not a relationship that can be won or not, but a relationship that is not discovered. If she is discovered, even if she succeeds in stealing the information, Elena will inevitably suffer because of her.

"Meow!"

The variegated cat couldn't stand it anymore, so it bit Arcanis' hand violently and kicked out of her arms while she was in pain.

"Hey! Melly is back. ”

Arcanis cried.

Ignoring her, Cat Li jumped up and tried to open the door.

The white-haired girl stepped forward to hug it, but was clawed by it. Arcanis was stunned as she watched as the cat opened the door, sprang out, and ran to Elena's room.

Ever since Melly arrived at Elena's house, she had been in her arms all day as if she were her best friend. Instead of being like before, in the cold night, a man and a cat huddled on the cold ground, warming each other. There was a strange sense of unease in her heart.

"By the way, it's time to go. ”

Arcanis noticed the time, quickly changed into a dress that didn't fit well, and walked to the living room, only to find Elena sitting on her bed, touching the cat in her arms, without any intention of leaving.

"Elena. Arkanis said, "It's time to go on a date." ”

"Don't go. Her voice suddenly turned cold.

"Is it a female relative?"

"It's not. ”

"Then why not?"

"I just don't want to go. ”

"It's not good to miss the first date. ”

"I don't want to date!" she seemed annoyed, and her tone rose a little, "You want to go yourself, good friend." ”

"What's going on?"

"Don't bother me. ”

"Have you been sitting here and petting the cat for a day today?"

Elena suddenly looked at Arcanis, and there was no familiar friendliness in her eyes,

"Today is not a good day to eat free pastries. ”

"Meow. ”

Hah, I look like one of those rare pastries?Acanis suppressed a few flames in her heart, her eyes locked on a letter on the table, she walked over to the desk, looked at it a few times, and her anger was extinguished.

"Your mother is suffering from illness?"

Elena breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down, "I can't do anything. ”

"Well....... maybe some of my savings will help. ”

"How can you help? You've only been working for a few days?" Elena sighed, her tone full of tiredness, "You might as well think more about the future if you have time." ”

"I ran into an acquaintance when I was walking on the cat last night. "Though I did not know her, she recognized me at once, and it turned out that she had worked for my brother, and now that she had made a fortune, she had given me a bag of gold coins." ”

"My dear, what a clumsy excuse. ”

Arcanis walked straight out of the room, she wasn't good at convincing people with words.

When she came back again, she had an extra bag of gold coins in her hand, and those were the sponsorships given to her by people who were not short of money, well, the sponsorships she took her own initiative.

"That should help somewhat. ”

Elena saw a bag full of gold coins and said jokingly, "A-Na, is there a big guy chasing you?"

"Oh, I haven't had anyone chase me since I was a kid. ”

"Still don't need to. "I can still borrow some money and grit my teeth to get through this." ”

Arcanis sat beside her, took her hand, and stared at her somewhat reddened blue eyes.

"It just so happened that I had a sum of money that I wanted to lend out. The white-haired girl said, shoving the money into her arms and deliberately placing it on Melly's back, "I want to experience what it's like to be a creditor." ”

"Thank you. Elena whispered. Melly grumbled and crawled out from under her purse. "Thank you. ”

"Don't blush, dear Elena. If you shed tears, the woman will not look good, and she will have to go on a date later. ”

"Alas. She sighed, "I think it's better to forget it, although Jacob is a good man, but the gap between us is too big, and it is good for us to separate before the flame of love burns out of us." ”

"That's not going to work. "Your creditor wants to eat free pastries." If you become a noble lady in the future, remember to send me free pastries every day."

Elena chuckled and patted the white-haired girl on the shoulder.

The carriage at the gate had been waiting for a long time, and Elena, who was encouraged to regain her confidence, got on the bus with Arcanis.

Today is a rare sunny day, and the mischievous Melly is playing with Elena (stepping on the **** game. Arcanis looked out the window at the clear sky and listened to Elena's laughter, and the original troubled mood disappeared without a trace.

Everything's going to be fine, isn't it? Imperial vultures are a fart, and the old lady is so clever that she can definitely play them to death.

The white-haired girl did not notice that the shadows of the flowers blooming in the sun on the balcony were slightly distorted, and then the delicate flowers fell and withered.

"Where are you?"

A low voice drifted through Arcanis' cold room.
