Night.

After dealing with the affairs of the clan, it was already seven or eight o'clock in the evening when Rong Mei returned to the astrology hall.

The west of Saint-Landel is relatively desolate, with few street lights, and there is only a little dim light every ten meters, which is deserted.

Things within the astrological clan are actually much more complicated than the outside world thinks. There are not many astrologers, but they still need to be in control of the overall situation, give advice to the whole empire, and after a little discussion, an afternoon will pass.

In the past, these things were done at night, and when the clansmen saw the patriarch in person for the first time, they were even more nervous and speechless, and the report was stumbling, delaying a lot of time.

However, at this stage, many of the originally high-priority matters had to be given way to the crusade against the Night God Cultists.

Most of the astrologers are sensible and well-behaved, and nothing has gone wrong. But at the end of the day, low-level astrologers don't get much useful value, and on weekdays, they just talk about the peachy news of a certain knight in the royal family, and the trivial matter of a certain spiritual magician's family having an heir.

Think to yourself, and then get the useless information out of your head. Rong Mei walked into the astrology hall step by step.

Without the two spirit envoys, the house was instantly deserted.

In the past, when I arrived home, the first thing I was greeted by a bear hug in the cold night, and then an excited greeting like "Master, you are back".

Bai Lianzhou stood aside, bowed respectfully to himself, and reported the results of the day's learning and so on.

Now it's empty.

Except for not missing the cooking skills of these two apprentices, everything else is quite missed.

Then he saw a steaming bowl of soba noodles on a round table in the middle of the main hall.

Is it Xiao Yu?

No, there must be more things going on in the Spirit Clan than in the Astrologers.

There's no one else there.

There were people in the astrological hall, and they were people he didn't know.

Cold sweat began to break out on his forehead. If the enemy is still in the house, launching astrology here is undoubtedly a waste of death.

But in addition to being nervous, he felt that the comer was not the enemy.

There shouldn't be anyone stupid enough to take advantage of everyone's absence to deliberately make bowl noodles to reveal their identity, right?

Before he knew it, he couldn't take his attention off the table. But when there is a certain degree of vigilance, people's senses will be very acute.

He decided to sit down.

"Brother......

Suddenly, a voice sounded behind him.

It's two little girls, two little girls who look exactly the same.

Melt looked back and didn't speak.

In this situation, if ordinary people are encountered, they will probably be so scared that they faint and suffocate. But Rong Mei is different, he has seen everything in the world, and his strong psychological quality makes him fearless.

"Brother, my name is Etude, and this is my sister, Eve. The little girl on the left said.

"I know you. Melty nodded, "You two did it?"

"It was Brother Bai who asked us to do it. EDI nodded and said, "He was taken away by the Apostles in the morning." Before leaving, please let us come and see you. ”

It is no exaggeration to say that Melt doesn't believe a word. He felt that the two little girls were not tall enough to reach the kitchen spatula.

"I didn't expect you to be able to cook at such a young age. But he still smiled, sat down, and ate the noodles one bite at a time.

He recognized what was in it.

It's just two little girls, nothing to be afraid of.

The soba noodles have a refreshing texture and are a light style that he usually likes.

In the empty astrology hall, there were only him, Etude and Eve, and it was a lie to say that they were not nervous.

EDI has a bright smile on her face, a sense of maturity and grace that does not match her age.

"Patriarch Rongmei, where have Brother Bai and Brother Ye gone?"

"They're ......," Rong Mei smiled easily, "The two of them went to another country to fight the bad guys in order to keep everyone safe." ”

A lonely man who has never had a child at all, it would be good to be able to speak in a gentle tone. But he didn't plan to continue coaxing, because he didn't think they were children at all.

"Will they win?" asked Eve.

Rongmei shook her head and replied, "You must not lose." ”

"Why?"

Problems followed.

"If they lose, everyone on the continent will be in danger. Rong Mei turned her head and asked in a deep voice, "Have you ever seen the black fog?"

The two little girls nodded at the same time.

"That's what my brothers have to deal with. "Those things are the common enemy of the Continent's spiritualists, and you're too young to stay away when you see them. ”

EDI smiled again.

"Brother Rongmei, don't be afraid. Eve looked up and said with a smile: "Don't forget, there is also me and my sister, as long as Brother Bai is still in the astrology clan, we will help you." ”

Melt smiled, but still couldn't let go of the vigilance in her heart.

"How did you get in?"

"Brother Bai left us the door. Eve confessed, "We've been waiting here for you for a long time. ”

"Patriarch Rongmei, here you go. EDI stepped forward, holding a pale green apple in both hands, "We brought you an apple before we came. ”

Rong Mei took the apple, this fruit looked pale blue from a distance, but it was slightly blue up close, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, it was very fragrant, and even made him have a strange fragrance around him.

He immediately thought of a kind of water country that only grew in the Virginia Empire, it looked like an apple, but it was very beautiful, and the flowers that bloomed during the growing period were pale blue and translucent, and the stamens could be refined into poison, and they smelled sweet, and if they were eaten by mistake, they would be bewitched......

"Is this an apple?" he subconsciously asked.

"Yes, this is a specialty of our Virginia Empire, and one will cost three silver coins," EDI nodded and said with a smile: "Patriarch, the two of us usually have no one to take care of, only Brother Bai is willing to help us." It's just a little bit of caution on our part......"

"It's just a little specialty. Eve stepped forward and said, "It's not anything of value, we'...... We didn't know what to give, so we bought you apples for only three silver coins. ”

These words are very touching, but in front of Rongmei, they are coy.

He tried to guess the identities of the two little girls. Coming from the Wind Empire, knowing Bai Lianzhou, and even letting himself transfer all the points of suspicion to him, it is obvious that these two children are higher than Bai Lianzhou in a certain aspect.

At the very least, it won't be a couple of little girls next door who come to visit.

Eve and EDI do their best to be courteous, but it makes him suspicious. Before Bai Lianzhou came to San Rondel, Rong Mei had done a divination on the young man's family and life experience, and in his perspective, he had never seen these two little girls.

Let's ask Bai Lianzhou, a waste material with no talent and no spiritual power, even if his parents have a harmonious relationship and a harmonious neighborhood, why did their mother come to him thousands of miles away?

Moreover...... The Bai family didn't even know whether their son was alive or dead.

They were one step ahead of the Black Mist.

This is the crux of the matter.

This long period of thinking actually only lasted four or five seconds, and the dissolved charm was calm and light on the surface, just staring at the apple.

"Don't think about it, my brother likes to eat apples. ”

Rongmei knew in his heart that he couldn't eat it. This is the only way to keep them from suspicious.

Once an astrologer encounters an object that cannot be divined, he will still be more or less uncertain. This not only proves that the other party's spiritual power is higher than one's own, but also means that they are facing danger without knowing it.

He took a bite and confirmed by his taste that it was indeed an apple, sweet and silky, sweet and sour to quench his thirst.

The two little girls looked at him expectantly, and EDI even had a hint of revenge on her face.

But then, he knew he had been tricked.

It's not because he has a fluke mentality, but deliberately wants to hide people's eyes. After the fruit entered her stomach, Rong Mei felt numb all over, her vision was confused, and her brain became more and more out of her control.

Calm, calm down. He kept reminding himself.

Rongmei has a light diet on weekdays, and it can even be said that the soup is low in water, which is also afraid that someone in the city of San Randel will poison her. If it weren't for the unpalatable cooking at night, he would have been eager to leave the cooking affairs to this Emperor Star Master.

This was the first time he had eaten stranger's food in recent years, but it was also the first time he was forced to enter the other party's trap.

Although he is the master of the town, he has no choice but to ......

He was unwilling to let any innocent person die for him.

At the same time, Eve grinned and said, "It seems that the Melting Charm Patriarch is not very vigilant. ”

"Well, yes, that annoying night is not around, and things are much easier. EDI had a strange smile on her face, "Sister, we should go back too." ”

"No, people want to play a little longer. ”

"Hurry up, there's no time. ”

"Okay, okay, you know. ”

Suddenly, two little girls held hands and then hugged each other.

There was a strange writhing in the air, and I don't know which one of them suddenly began to cry, and her voice grew hoarse and miserable, and Melty raised her hand to cover her ears, but to no avail.

The sound pierced his hand and pierced his eardrums.

In the next moment, the clothes worn by the two little girls turned into a cloud of snow-white light and shadow, hovering around their bodies. In no more than five seconds, it will appear again.

When Melt Charm's gaze focused on them again, she finally saw the situation in front of her clearly.

They are no longer "them".

They become a human being.

A woman who has grown up in age and shape.

The storm lifted the main entrance of the astrology hall, and then lifted the woman's long skirt.

"Ahh......h Hehe, but it's fine. ”

In an instant, the storm on her side swept up again, her whole body was wrapped in countless air currents, and her long sand-blond hair danced, looking like schools of sardines swimming with the currents in the deep sea.

After the storm subsided, the woman walked up to Rong Mei and whispered in his ear:

"Patriarch, do you like bad luck?"
