"No reason." Lu Xiujin replied frankly: "I went back and asked Qi Qi about the matter your mother mentioned just now..." He looked at Augustine's eyes that immediately became serious, sighed, and said again: "She's right. Although it's a probability event, it depends entirely on luck... But we can't gamble on this."

Although reluctant, Augustine nodded.He looked a little frustrated, Lu Xiujin hesitated for a moment, and said what Qi Qi said just now: "Actually... I have a better solution."

"what?"

Lu Xiujin licked his lips nervously, and whispered, "As long as... as long as your wish is this, I can quickly fulfill it for you..."

Before he finished speaking, Augustine immediately retorted excitedly: "No!"

Lu Xiujin stared at him blankly, although he always knew that Augustine always had an inexplicable insistence on this matter, but he was never quite able to understand the reason.Lu Xiujin tilted his head in doubt, rubbed his chin on the side of his face, looked at Augustine's puzzled eyes, and took the initiative to express the doubt in his heart: "Why not?"

Augustine was at a loss for words.

Seeing Augustine's reaction, Lu Xiujin pursued the victory and said again: "This is obviously the best way at present..."

Augustine didn't give any explanation, but he shook his head firmly. "No," he said, "only this."

Seeing that Lu Xiujin still looked incomprehensible, Augustine had a slight smile on his face. He stretched out his hand and scratched his soft chin, which made Lu Xiujin make a comfortable purring sound before continuing. Said: "Now is not the time..." He smiled: "When the time comes, I will tell you."

Although puzzled, Lu Xiujin obediently complied: "Alright then, don't forget."

Because directly bringing Joshua back to this world would have a huge impact on this world, even though he was unwilling, Augustine finally contacted Joshua and told him the whole story without reservation.After understanding what was going on, Joshua didn't show much surprise or dissatisfaction, and Lu Xiujin couldn't see any disappointment on his face. Compared with Augustine who obviously couldn't accept this before, Joshua is much calmer.

"If that's the case, there's nothing you can do about it." He said, "However, can you still keep in touch with me?"

To this, Augustine readily gave an affirmative answer.

Seeing this, Joshua said again: "That's good, just remember to keep in touch with me, as for the magic power of those mirror beasts that have been stored..." Joshua pondered for a while: "Keep it, you The magic fluctuations of the mirror beast are still quite close, and maybe it will be able to play a special role at that time."

After saying this, Joshua was silent for a long time and did not speak again.And Augustine, who has always been very taciturn in front of him, stared at him without saying a word at this moment. After being stared at by him for a long time, Joshua coughed lightly and asked casually: "That... What's going on, you and mom? Why does she still appear in front of you? "

Obviously, what Augustine was waiting for was Joshua himself asking.As soon as Joshua brought up this topic, Augustine immediately opened his mouth to explain to him: "She seemed to be dead at that time, but in fact, she had stored a lot of magic power in the origami, although she can no longer direct them for herself. However, these magical powers once belonged to her after all, and when she was in danger, they all gave her a lot of protection, so that she could retain some spiritual consciousness."

Augustine paused, seeming to organize his words: "It may be because there is only a little spiritual consciousness left, and she can use magic again when she appeared in front of me..." Recalling the scene at that time, Augustine couldn't help but feel a little emotional: " But her consciousness is too weak, she can only use some relatively low-level illusions, and she can't even use the most basic attack magic."

After listening to Augustine's words, Joshua was dazed for a moment.His eyes were blank, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart. After a while, he came back to his senses, smiled apologetically at Augustine and Lu Xiujin, and then asked: "Then... what happened to her in the end? Consciousness faded away Yet?"

"Probably not." Augustine shook his head: "She is still protected by magic power. As long as there is magic power in the origami, her consciousness will last forever... She should just fall into a deep sleep." Augustine looked at the side Surprised Lu Xiujin explained: "She used too much force before, she couldn't bear it, and fell into a deep sleep."

Lu Xiujin nodded with a half understanding.

Joshua on the opposite side looked at the two of them and wanted to say something, but he hesitated.Before the three of them had time to talk about other matters, they heard a voice behind Joshua: "Joshua—"

Hearing this voice, Joshua immediately said in a hurry: "My companion is looking for me, I'll go first."

As soon as he finished speaking, he left the magic circle, and Joshua's figure immediately disappeared in front of the two of them.Only Augustine and Lu Xiujin were left looking at each other, blinking at each other, then Lu Xiujin touched his nose and left the basement.

Because of Augustine's mother's intervention, their original plan to bring Joshua back to revenge was completely in vain.And after this plan, Augustine seemed to have nothing to do, he was leisurely looking here and there every day, not in a hurry at all, but Lu Xiujin was extremely anxious about it.

"Don't you need to do something else?" Lu Xiujin stared at Augustine who was seriously watering the flowers in the garden again, and said.For a moment, he was heartbroken: "Didn't you say you want revenge? How do you take revenge like this?"

Augustine's face was obviously embarrassing, he looked at Lu Xiujin, with a helpless smile on his face: "Even if I want revenge... I'm not in a hurry." How much water is there, and walked to the faucet again, and while receiving water in it, he said: "I am not dealing with ordinary people. I have to take it step by step. If you are in a hurry and get caught, it will be difficult." .”

Having been with Augustine for a long time, Lu Xiujin would not be easily bluffed by such words.He snorted softly, leaned back in his chair, and asked like a gentleman: "Didn't you say before that you would stay in the suburbs for a while to avoid being searched by the president of the Magician's Guild? Why did you change it now?" Have an explanation?"

"What's the difference?" Augustine shouted, after watering the last cluster of flowers, he walked to Lu Xiujin with a water bottle and sat down. Seeing his sitting posture, he couldn't help laughing, and said, "Now, but It's the last break time before the start of work, you still don't hurry up to rest, thinking about things all day long, what are you thinking about?"

After finishing speaking, he tapped Lu Xiujin lightly on the head.Although it was said to be light, Augustine's strength has always been strong, and this knock made Lu Xiujin unable to help but cry out in pain.Lu Xiujin said nothing to him, and grinned and asked, "What are you doing?"

Augustine gave him a sly smile: "Tell me, if the king saw my father who had died at home a long time ago, and suddenly appeared in front of him, how would he react?"

【Are you okay? 】

Lu Xiujin, who turned into a monster and nestled obediently in Augustine's arms, looked at the servant leading the way in front of him, and couldn't help but whispered in his heart.Relying on his status as a monster, Lu Xiujin didn't need to care too much about the rules, which instead gave him an opportunity to look around in an open and honest way to find a way out.

【no problem. 】Augustin smiled confidently, 【Although my father and I have a bad relationship, we have lived together for so many years. I know some of his little habits clearly, and I can definitely play him perfectly. 】Continuously communicating with Lu Xiujin in his heart, Augustine still couldn't help being a little proud.He touched the necklace he was wearing, and immediately became more confident.

[Don't forget, I still have my mother's necklace on me. My mother often wears it to various banquets, and the king will definitely recognize it. 】

……

Lu Xiujin was speechless for a while before speaking slowly. [You said it was what your mother often wears...] He was quiet for a while, and immediately roared at Xinzong: [That man will run around with women's jewelry?This is too abnormal, right? 】

[What's the matter?] Augustine didn't take it seriously. He followed the person leading the way and turned another corner, and walked into the open-air corridor that was quite familiar to him. He had a panoramic view of the surrounding scenery, thinking about it in his heart This piece of previous scenery, while talking about Lu Xiujin's topic just now: 【The king doesn't know much about my parents, how could he know that I never go out with anything related to my mother? 】

This……

Lu Xiujin was stalked for a moment, he cleared his throat, and had no choice but to admit defeat to Augustine: [Okay. 】He thought for a while, and added another sentence: 【However, even though this is the case, you should be careful... After all, it is the king's territory. Who knows if there will be any powerful people here? 】

[Of course there are. ] Recalling the masters he met in the palace when he was a child, even now, Augustine couldn't help being amazed.However, he was a little bit confident about this, so he answered Lu Xiujin confidently: [Don't worry, those people don't care about these things at all, how could they go to the king's side to protect him? 】
