It was late at night.

Most of the travelers who have returned from afar have fallen asleep.

In Christine's luxurious bedroom, Huey sat alone on the sand, while Christine walked anxiously around the room.

"Xiui, please don't ask me. ”

The day's conversation ended unhappily.

Christine and Karen Weston have a big fight.

For most people, this is not an unusual, and although everyone tries to maintain a semblance of peace, in private they are intriguing with each other and wish that the other person would die sooner.

To Thuey's curiosity, Christine was frightened when Cullen mentioned the name Fog Castle. And when he asked Christine, she shook her head, unwilling to give an answer.

This made Xiu Yi a little dissatisfied.

It was hard for him to imagine what secrets Christine had to hide from herself when their cooperation had reached this point.

He had thought that this secret was not suitable for the public, so he went to Christine's room to meet her alone and ask for an answer, but Christine still refused to answer.

"Why?" Huey asked.

"I'm for your good. Christine pleaded.

For my good?, a disdainful sneer tugged at the corner of Xiu's mouth, "I'm sorry I don't believe you." ”

Christine's callous answer stunned.

"I've always thought that trust is the foundation of cooperation. But I'm only now realizing that I can't really trust you. That Earl Weston is not an easy man to deal with, and you didn't point that out to me before. You didn't even tell me he was an alchemist. You can't be trusted in this regard, but I'm not angry at that, because you and I are only in a relationship of mutual use. But Madame, please don't use the word "good for me" to describe the friendship between you and me, which will give me the illusion that you have only affection for me, and not for profit. ”

Christine's face turned extremely ugly, she didn't expect Huey to say something like that.

For Xiuyi, feelings are feelings, interests are interests, and the two must be clearly distinguished. He doesn't care that there is only a connection of interests between them, but he will never accept people who only have a connection of interests to play the emotional card against him.

This is because since he came to this world, his emotions have mostly been in hatred and anger, and he has received too little care, and he will cherish all those who love him.

It is precisely because of this that he cannot accept the factor of emotional integration.

Christine just wants to borrow his hand to settle all the troubles, and Huey doesn't care that she is being used by her, but when she tells herself that she cares about him, he has a kind of anger that he has been deceived and ignored.

At this moment, Christine looked at Xiu Yi blankly for a while, and finally sighed: "Yes, Xiu Yi, I admit that I was wrong, I should have told you the whole situation at the beginning, but I was worried that it would make you raise the price." Perhaps it was the nature of the businessman that I was withholding about Weston's true strength. ”

"You still have a chance to make corrections. Xiu Yi said coldly: "In fact, even if you don't say it, I have a way to find out, and I can see that it is not a secret about the Fog Hidden Castle." ”

Christine's face changed dramatically, and for some reason her heart ached.

She gritted her teeth and exclaimed, "Yes, you're right, it's not a secret. Indeed, I should not have hidden it from you. You can easily find out if you want to. In that case, I'll tell you about the Fog Castle now...... It is the castle left behind by Electra. ”

Xiu Yi stammered to his feet.

Fog Castle is a castle located on the very edge of the castle district in the southern suburbs of Winrington. It has been situated for hundreds of years at the foot of the Hidden Moon Peak at the foot of the Lilgula mountain range. Although the castle is located at the foot of the mountain, it is covered in smoke all year round, so it is called the Fog Hidden Castle.

But Fog Castle also has a name called Death Castle.

The origin of the Castle of Death is simple.

It is the only castle known to the world as the legacy of Electra, and legend has it that Electra's laboratory was located in this castle.

The reason why it is only a legend is simply because no one has ever been able to find Electra's laboratory here, on the contrary, everyone who tries to find this secret has died.

In the past three hundred years, the Fog Hidden Castle has changed more than 70 owners, of which more than 40 are famous or non-famous alchemists of various periods. However, none of these alchemists were able to uncover the secrets of the Fog Castle in the end, and most of the alchemists disappeared mysteriously in the process of living, and never appeared since, and a few died mysteriously, dying for various reasons.

The Fog Hidden Castle has become a castle of death, and the owners here have changed one after another, as long as the alchemist enters this castle, almost no one can survive for a year, but some ordinary people who are not alchemists can live here for a long time. But even ordinary people don't mean that they are safe, and a small number of ordinary people have disappeared into this castle since then.

As a result, the Castle eventually became a forbidden place for people to die.

Legend has it that when the Rose Monarch established his capital here, he had the intention of revealing the secrets of the Foggy Castle. As a result, he sent twenty of the most famous alchemists of the time to explore there at once, and only one person walked out of the castle alive after three days.

He's gone crazy.

Christine was so eloquent at this moment that Xiu Yi was dumbfounded.

One of the prominent markings on the map of Electra that he had gotten was Winrington. The reason why Xiu Yi readily agreed to come here was also to find this laboratory. But he didn't expect that this time he didn't have to look for it at all, because it was there, in front of everyone's eyes, but no one could ever open it.

Almost everyone believed that there must be a laboratory left by Electra in the Castle of Mistleta, but it could also be close at hand, but it was even more difficult to find than any other lab in the middle of nowhere.

After receiving the answer provided by Christine, Xiu Yi lowered his head and thought for a while before asking in a low voice, "If that's the case, why didn't you want to tell me at first?"

Christine's expression became more and more sad, tears flashed in the corners of her eyes: "The reputation of the Castle of Death has spread not for a year or two, but for hundreds of years. But why have alchemists been entering there for hundreds of years, why is the Castle of Death only getting more and more famous, why are people going to die one after another, knowing that they can't fight against the alchemy left behind by legendary alchemists?"

Xiu Yi was slightly stunned.

Christine had already said, "Because it has a fatal attraction for any alchemist. ”

Yes, the fatal attraction. For alchemists, the laboratory of Electra is like a huge treasure trove of knowledge, and anyone who gets a star and a half is enough to become the world's top alchemist.

It's like the Dardanelles family, just by virtue of the production technology of the Scout Bee, they can win the favor of countless merchant families.

In this magical world, a top-notch alchemy can indeed be exchanged for unimaginable wealth.

And what Xiui has is this collection of innumerable knowledge. It's just that he doesn't have the strength and time to turn this knowledge into power and wealth, but for the Reims Empire, everything is very different. If Hue Igler falls into their hands, with the technology in his hands, he can help the empire complete a century-old leap. Therefore, even if it is difficult for Hue Igler to deal with, the empire still has to try his best to catch him, and the reason is the same, which is a fatal attraction.

Therefore, although the Fog Hidden Castle is a forbidden place for alchemists, the alchemists rushed in one by one, trying to uncover the secret and soar in one fell swoop. For Xiuyi, it may not be his pursuit, but his fanatical love of alchemy makes him not shy away from this challenge.

There are many traps in this world, and they don't rely on secrets, but on * confusion to win.

Christine knew Huey too well, so she was resolutely reluctant to tell the origin of the Foggy Castle. She was afraid that as soon as she said it, Xiu Yi would immediately buy the castle and rush into the death trap without hesitation.

At this moment, Huey was a little sluggish for Christine's answer.

It wasn't the strangeness of the castle that he was stunned, not the fact that the Earl Weston was able to restrain his greedy desire for the laboratory, not whether he could unlock the castle's secrets and find another laboratory in the legendary Electra...... Christine's concern for him.

Biting his lower lip, Xiu Yi asked softly, "Why do you care so much about me? Aren't we only interested in each other?" If you don't worry about my mission, I can help you kill Karen Weston first and then explore that castle. ”

"Because ......," Christine opened her mouth, but she couldn't say a word.

Xiu Yi looked at her seriously, and for some reason Christine's heart was unkempt, and she finally made up her mind to come to Xiu Yi and sit down.

She took Huey's hand, put his hand on her face, and whispered, "Because I'm in love with you, Huey." ”

It was like a thunderbolt struck Huey's heart.

"Do you remember the first time you met at the Lanya Theater......" Christine's words sounded leisurely, bringing the time of the two back to the first time they met.

For Christine, she will never forget the first time she saw Huey, a cold, proud, and intelligent young man who went on a killing spree in his own way at the Lanya Theater, even if he killed, he showed his unique elegance.

Christine had never seen a wanted fugitive fight back so frantically and yet with such composure.

He defeated her suitors in front of him, but he disdained her practice of asking for her name, which made her unable to step down in public.

He looked at himself with contempt and disdain.

This annoyed her, because no one had ever done this to her before. Even the reason why Earl Weston, who had always wanted to steal her property, was partly because he had not been ruthless against her, because he was lucky enough to have both wealth and wealth.

Christine could not tolerate such failure, so she told her suitor that I would marry whoever could get the head of Huegliel. She thought it was the best way to defeat the boy, but she didn't expect them to meet again in Royo City.

Christine thought she would be scared, but she didn't expect to be excited at the first sight of Xiuy. Of course, Christine at this time had not yet fallen in love with Huey, so in the negotiations with Huey, she did not give an inch to fight for her own interests, and at the same time concealed Weston's true strength.

However, after that, Huey's aggressive pursuit of offensive not only drove the entire city of Royo crazy, but also Christine. The courtyard full of flowers, beautiful birds flying in the sky, and frozen fountain flowers all over the hotel had a huge impact on Christine's soul every time.

A woman's heart is a beautiful and romantic means is the best way to impress a woman. Huey's imaginative pursuits, although they were only for outsiders to see, had a profound and enormous impact on Christine.

Many times, Christine would lie in bed and think repeatedly, if there was really such a teenager who pursued herself in such a way before she got married, then she would probably not be called Countess Weston.

However, the heart of a teenager who can use these many means of pursuit is not really in himself. On the contrary, he is bright, romantic, and gentle, and on the other hand, cruel, cold, and murderous.

It's like a combination of an angel and a demon, full of fatal bewilderment, so that Christine gradually became fascinated by him in contact with Xiui.

Although she repeatedly told herself that she and Huey were only a union of interests, a relationship that took advantage of each other, the relationship was never governed by reason, so much so that Christine had to think about Huey almost every day to fall asleep.

But the woman didn't say anything, just fulfilled her duties and covered the identity of the Dardanelles, on the surface, she had no feelings for Xiuy, but deep down she was full of contradictions.

Therefore, when Hamblun said that sentence today, Christine half-truthfully said that he had entered my heart, and she used false drama to cover up her true emotions, and at this moment the lie and the truth were perfectly integrated.

Christine originally thought that she could continue to deceive herself like this, but the arrival of Earl Weston, and the appearance of the name of Foggy Castle, made Christine greatly panicked.

At this moment, she finally realized that she couldn't afford to lose Xiui.

It's a gradual process from exploitation to love, but everything is so natural, Christine can't avoid it, and she can't avoid it anymore.

Little did Christine know that she had inadvertently passed a test.

Earl Weston was a very cautious man, and the reason he told Huey about Fog Castle was because he doubted that the Dardanelles were invited by Christine to help him. He could not have been unaware of the fact that the Westons vouched for the Dardanelles to buy sixty percent of the materials of Royo City for one-tenth of the price. In his opinion, Christine is not a person who can be so generous. So he wondered if Christine had made the decision because she was in love with the heir of the family. If that's the case, he can rest assured, but if not, then he has to be careful, because there is probably some secret collusion in it.

It must be said that Earl Weston's thoughts are comprehensive and quite intelligent: but Christine's performance just shows that she is really in love with Ceseldar and Daniel, but inadvertently deceives the other party. No one thought of this.

At this moment, Xiu Yi let out a long breath, after Christine confided in her heart.

Suddenly, he felt another burden on his heart.

If he could, he would prefer to keep the relationship between each other that he used each other before, so at least not emotionally burdensome.

On the contrary, Christine felt much better.

She threw herself completely into Huey's arms and buried herself entirely in the crook of Huey's arms.

She grabbed Huey's hand and said, "You're going to go, right?"

Hue smiled wryly.

In this matter, he could not deceive or hide from the other party, he could only nod.

"Yes, I will buy that castle and make it a base for the Dardanelles. Since the castle is only a danger to alchemists, at least I only have to worry about my own safety. ”

"But ......"

"No, but Christine, as you say, is fatally bewildered to any alchemist. ”

"It's like you're with me, knowing that falling in love with you won't end well with me, but I'm still ......," Christine choked up. She is no longer the widow of a wealthy family with all kinds of charms, but more like an ignorant girl who has tasted feelings for the first time.

She has an indescribable fascination with Huey.

"I don't want to lose you, Xiuyi. She whispered.

Raising his head, the tears in his eye sockets filled with pity, and Xiu Yi's heart was full of pity.

The delicate red lips were shaking in front of his eyes, and he couldn't help but want to taste them.

In the story known to outsiders, there have been countless heart-warming ** entanglements between Huey and Christine, but in fact, they have never been as close as they are today.

Xiu Yi couldn't restrain the heat rising in his heart**, he hugged Christine and kissed it heavily.

In that fiery tenderness, even an iron man must be melted. The two of them forgot everything at the same time, and to hell with them, what was the Fog Castle and what Earl Weston was. The * confusion of alchemy, the danger of death, instead becomes a catalyst for feelings at this moment, if there is a danger waiting for you, then at least let yourself enjoy it once before you go to it, even if you die, you can't leave regrets.

A man and a woman, who were originally very sensible, let go of all their worries at the same time at this moment.

Huey's hands roamed around Christine's body unscrupulously, tearing the precious clothes quickly, and Christine's lips did not leave, and Xiuy also hurriedly ripped off Xiuyi's clothes. The two of them miraculously completed the task of undressing when they kissed each other tightly and did not want to separate, and Xiu Yi stood up and threw Christine on the bed, and the whole person was pressed against her.

With that ferocious thrust into the room, Christine breathed a breath of extreme satisfaction.
