Can the sadness that magic cannot take away be offset by love?

The singing of the morning warbler on the treetops outside the window awakened her consciousness. She sat up from the bed in a daze, looking at the familiar scenery in the hotel room. The sleepiness that had not yet dissipated swept over her body. She recalled After checking her schedule, she found that there seemed to be nothing to do today. She would definitely be in low spirits when she got up at this time, so she might as well catch up on some sleep...

She had always been strong-willed, but she couldn't resist the temptation to stay in bed today. She fell behind her, closed her eyes and fell asleep peacefully.

She slept until noon. After she got up and washed herself, she always felt that there was something extra in the room, but she glanced over and found nothing unusual.

She paused, then took steps to examine everything in the room carefully.

Finally, her eyes rested on two bags, one black and one white, on the chair.

First, I opened the white bag with many pink rabbit heads, rabbit paws and dodder flowers printed on it. Inside were many postcards, bookmarks, water-based pens, notebooks and other store peripherals that matched the appearance of the bag.

Aecilia stared at the gold-plated rabbit head bookmark for a long time, then put it down and turned to open another gift bag.

The black bag contained a long wooden box. When the lid was opened, there was a transparent ice-blue staff with a cool and dusty temperament.

"Weixue, and...Ecilia Green"

She read out the inscription on the staff.

There is still some space left behind the "Green".

There was also a blue document bag in the bag. She opened the document bag, leaving aside a bunch of bits and pieces. She saw a pink bill at a glance.

"One thousand four hundred nine hundred and eighty thousand."

She put down the bill, looked up at the ceiling, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, opened her eyes again, looked down again.

"One thousand four hundred nine hundred and eighty thousand."

Still the same number.

She sat down and leaned back in her chair, lost in thought.

She, Ethelia Green, has lost her parents since she was eight years old. She has never seen any relatives. She saved less than 20,000 yuan from part-time work when she was young. The most money she has ever seen is the 200,000 yuan subsidy given to her by the Sheriff's Department. These little bits and pieces don't add up to enough to make up the small change on this bill.

Where did she get the money to buy the staff?

*

Her stomach growled. The sky could fall, but she had to eat. She chose to put all these messy things behind her and eat a bowl of sweet and delicious beef noodles first.

During this period, Lucius made a phone call from the Internet. She directly clicked "Answer" and then said:

"what's up?"

The person on the other side was silent for a while before replying:

"It's good that you're not dead."

Aecilia:? ? ?

"Why are you so crazy at noon?"

She was cordial.

"Then why were you crazy last night? I called you thirteen times in one night and you didn't answer any of them. I thought you were walking without looking at the people who fell into the sewers and were eaten by rats."

"What important matter requires you to call me thirteen times in the middle of the night? Don't I want to sleep??"

"Okay, okay, you go to bed after six o'clock at night, right? How regular is your schedule? Is this why you don't read group messages, don't speak, and don't build teams?"

"Say it again? What time do I start going to bed?"

"Six-eighteen! My first phone call! Honestly, what were you doing at that time?"

"...I also want to know."

"what?"

"I do not remember."

"Did you hit your head?"

"I don't feel it, probably not."

"Then you really have schizophrenia?"

"……You are sick."

"Then why did you forget what happened last night?"

"...I also want to know."

Both parties were silent for a while, and Aecilia said:

"This happened often before. I'm used to it. It's not a big deal."

Lucius:? ? ?

Lucius: "Isn't it a big deal??? Isn't it a big deal after losing contact for the whole night??? Are you not afraid that you secretly killed someone last night and then didn't remember anything during the day? Even when the Sheriff's Department came to your door, you didn't know anything about it? ??”

Aecilia: "The newly purchased staff is still very clean and has no wear and tear. It should not have been used yet."

Lucius: "It's not that difficult to kill someone without a staff."

Aecilia: "Then you teach me."

Lucius: "What are you thinking about?"

Aecilia pondered for a while and then said: "Under what circumstances do you think people will suddenly receive 14.98 million Asian coins?"

"Have a birthday."

Lucius said nonchalantly.

"..."

Aecilia was stuck for a while, then added a condition:

"I mean people like me who have no relatives or friends."

Lucius was silent for a while and said in a casual tone:

"Killing for money."

"...What about other than that?"

Lucius chose to skip this question and asked the thing that concerned him most:

"What on earth did you do last night??"

"Thank you, don't ask. I also want to know."

After hesitating for a while, Aecilia said:

"How about I go to the hospital first? What if I really kill someone? I really don't know where the money came from."

Lucius suddenly became excited:

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!"

Aecilia looked at Zhiwang doubtfully, and the corners of her mouth gradually raised:

"Oh why?"

There was no reply from the other party for a long time.

Aecilia slowly added:

"Are you afraid that I will borrow your money for medical treatment?"

Lucius:

"What are you thinking about? Vincent's family runs many more hospitals than mine...ah, I mean, yes, yes! Don't even think about borrowing my money!"

"Does Vincent's family run a hospital? Then I can borrow some from her. Goodbye?"

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no -"

Aecilia hung up the phone immediately, and Lucius immediately called again.

It took a few seconds for her to get through, but this time she didn't take the initiative to speak again.

"Tonight at seven o'clock, I'll meet Tusi Hua. I...brother will explain it to you."

Aecilia curled her lips in front of the screen, but her smile did not reach her eyes:

"Did you make thirteen calls last night and do nothing? I found two long black hairs on the armchair in my room. Do you have any clues?"

There was silence for a while, and finally a real spokesperson came on the other end of the phone.

"The place where they gathered last night was far away from where you live. I happened to be nearby, so I came over to take a look for him."

Ernest's voice was cold and magnetic, his tone was smooth and steady, and the emotions he revealed were no different from his cold and ruthless nature as an invigilator.

"Oh, that's a coincidence. So why do you know where I live?"

At this time, Esilia couldn't even care whether the other person's voice was a human voice or a mosquito moan. If she had the ability, she would really like to open the other person's brain to see what was recorded in it.

Ernest doesn't speak like Lucius, who often has to struggle with the wisdom network for a long time. He doesn't need to draft one sentence after another to bluff people. It's obvious that his skills are very proficient.

"There are channels that can locate your location through your smart network information."

Aecilia saw that there was no trace of his roundness and could not find anything wrong with it, so she immediately asked the next question:

"Since you are already sitting in my room, don't you know what happened last night? You asked Lucius to call me and ask me what I did last night?"

Ernest was already prepared:

"I want to see how your memory is doing now. Did you just say that you often suffered from amnesia in the past?"

See, that changes the subject. Aecilia almost wanted to applaud him. She said with no fluctuation in her tone:

"If you have any questions, please tell me. There is such a big gap in our strength. I don't know what you have to worry about."

The name of the Ramirez family was well known to her when she was in Lawrence. Even people who were not familiar with the magic field would freeze when they heard this surname.

Second only to the royal family, it is as famous as Viglas, Ascetin, Novello and other major families, and is a place where the laws of the kingdom are circumvented.

The endless black flame that burns in the eternal night - the title of the chapter introducing this family in the general textbook.

To put it simply, if Ernest strangled her to death in this hotel room last night, and the unknowing hotel owner discovered her body and reported the crime, the Sheriff's Department would not have accepted the case.

Apart from the fact that she may have some brain problems, she really doesn't know what's so special about herself that deserves all the twists and turns they made on her.

This is still really confusing.
