As his back rubbed against the rough wall, Lucian was robbed of all his breath in an instant.

He struggled to grab Vader's arm until it was completely useless.After this violent, almost predatory kiss, Vader bit Lucian's lip.

"you……"

Lucian hurriedly raised his hand and wiped the blood on his lips.He just raised his eyes and wanted to get angry, but the other party ruthlessly ripped off his collar.

"what!"

Vader first bit his neck, Adam's apple, and then his collarbone.

He pressed so hard that a bruised teeth mark was left on his collarbone.After Wade reached out to hold his face with his hand, Lucian was furious, shook his face and avoided, complaining: "Why are you crazy..."

As he spoke, he pointed to his collarbone and said, "You have bitten the skin here, Master Vader."

"..."

"Go back and treat you." Vader said hoarsely.

Lucian frowned at him, and moved away as Vader approached again.

By the way, he pulled up his collar to cover the bruises on his neck.

They came back from the corner to the night market.When they arrived, the auction was about to start.Fortunately, the night market does not require any identification, as long as they hand over two gold pounds, they can enter the venue unimpeded.

There are many such large and small auctions in the night market, distributed in different places and time periods.They arrived at the place mentioned in the letter received by the florist.

"The florist is over there." Vader said.

Lucian looked in the direction he pointed, and not far away was the flower shop owner sitting in the crowd.

They took a seat behind the florist.The auction has already started, and most of the items offered are contraband, ranging from medicines to magic materials, and even specimens made from human internal organs.Lucian was not interested in these things, but kept rubbing the bruises on his neck with his hands and observing the people in the venue.

Finally, a woman sitting in a corner caught his attention.

The lady's whole body was wrapped in a black robe to conceal her identity, and her long hair was wrapped in a headscarf. Only a small strand of curly red hair was exposed behind her ears due to negligence.What made Lucian notice her wasn't her face covered by the mask, or her body that was tightly covered—it was an aura about her that he felt inexplicably familiar to him.

——A breath of the same kind.

Lucian pointed his finger at the handle, and while he was thinking with his chin resting, there was a burst of lively whispering from the crowd.

Lucian:?

"A succubus of light gray quality..."

"There are still such high-end goods..."

Lucian looked up to the stage, and saw a golden birdcage on the stage, and a male succubus with light gray long hair was leaning against the cage.

The succubus' eyes were dark red, and her long dark gray hair hung over her body due to lack of care. Perhaps because of poor care, her expression carried a feeling of sleeplessness.Even so, that soft and charming appearance and posture are enough to excite the people in the audience.

What's more, the quality of the succubus is still extremely rare light gray.

Excited auction bids came and went, and finally, the succubus was bought by a mysterious buyer at a price of [-] gold pounds.The person who came to hand over the chips was a dwarven attendant in a cloak.Lucian was wondering who the buyer of this arrogance was, when Vader grabbed his wrist.

Lucian:?

He looked back at Vader, and Vader asked, "What are you thinking?"

Looking at Vader's face and his tightly grasped hands, Lucian always felt that Vader seemed to have misunderstood something.

Lucian thought for a while and said, "I found that it is not as expensive as the ring you bought for me."

Vader: ...

Lucian happily said as if he had discovered a new world: "And I found out that if I was auctioned, it might be worth a hundred thousand gold pounds."

Vader: ...

Vader didn't let go of his hand, but Lucian clearly found some traces of contempt and speechlessness in his eyes.Lucian:?

"Nothing." Vader said.He turned his head and cursed under his breath.

Sounds like the core idea is "I'm an idiot for thinking you'd be scared".

Lucian didn't understand Vader's core idea, he just "???", then turned his gaze back to the red-haired lady who had attracted his attention before.

He saw the red-haired lady still sitting there.Although she still maintains an elegant posture in the eyes of others, Lucian can see that she is trying to hide her composure.

The auction is finally over.There is also a piece of water that is said to be "a water cup used by descendants of fallen angels".Lucian glanced at Vader when the item was being auctioned, and Vader was annoyed by him, and said coldly: "Fake, I have never used it."

"Maybe it was used by your seven aunts and eight aunts in physiology." Lucian said.

Vader raised his eyebrows and said, "The Fallen Angel has no heirs."

"Oh, you can consider helping him to have more grandchildren to strengthen the family." Lucian joked.

Vader grimaced, turned away and didn't speak.

Lucian touched an ice wall, feeling a bit self-defeating.He recalled that Vader in the original book also had the idea of ​​seeing men kill men, seeing sisters killing sisters, without reproduction, and suddenly wondered whether Vader was a little frigid.

——Although later when he fell into a vortex, softened into a pool of spring water, and couldn't even make a sound of begging for mercy, he deeply regretted what he was now.

If he had known what happened later, he wouldn't have let Vader "reproduce and grow the family" now.

But that's all for later.At the end of the auction, those who bought the items went to deliver the goods, and the others either dispersed, or connected with those who secretly connected, and went to other places to conduct transactions again.Lucian saw the florist and the red-haired lady passing by in the crowd, exchanged glances, and finally walked towards the same room.

There was a small trade fair in the room—apparently, in order to avoid revealing their acquaintance, the two of them handed over the items to the organizer of the fair and exchanged them with him as the middleman.Vader handed a prying shadow in. Seeing that the transaction inside was about to end, Lucian asked, "What did they buy?"

"The woman bought the living stem of the eternal fruit. And the man bought the brainstone of the batwing demon—a crystal that is often used in demon sacrifices." Vader said, " It grows in the shallow layer of the cracks in the abyss, and it is difficult to get unless the demons."

And the stem of the eternal fruit...

Lucian knew that when he was still in the tower and Vader went to the undead clan for a month, what he drank was the juice of the eternal fruit.

"...The fruit juice of this plant has no benefits other than its taste, but it has a special effect—that is, it can suppress the release of magic power, and it is a necessary material for the potion that disguises the succubus as a human being. Vader said, "It's a pity, however, that its fruit is almost impossible to keep intact for more than a day after being picked. Perhaps it is for this reason that this 'woman' only asks for its stem. The sap of the branches of the immortal tree It can also be used in medicine as a substitute, but its effect will be less."

The two parted ways after the deal was finalized.Before Lucian followed the flower shop owner, he suddenly had an idea.

"What do you want to do?"

Oh shit, Vader found out what he was up to?

"... want to do something bad, is that okay?" Lucian said with a smile.

Wade stared at him for a while, then said, "Hurry up."

Vader followed the florist with tracking spells, and the two of them followed behind the lady.Vader stood in the corner and let Lucian follow the lady.

Seeing that the lady was about to pass by Lucian, Lucian said softly at that moment: "Dear Ms. Elena, your dyed red hair is leaking out."

"!!"

Lucian did not miss the panic and astonishment of the lady in that short period of time.The lady turned her head and saw the masked Lucian lifted his mask to her, revealing half of his face.

"you……!"

Lucian's appearance made her forget about sophistry.She looked at Lucian in shock.

Lucian stretched out his white fingers, pressed them against his lips, and made a "shh" motion.

"You have your secret, and I have mine." He said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, Miss Elena. I hope we can all be the keepers of each other's secrets."

After speaking, he glanced at Vader's direction meaningfully, patted her on the shoulder, and let the woman who was trembling with fright go.

Seeing Lucian come back from Elena, the black-haired young man was obviously displeased: "It seems that you are really interested in this woman."

"This is the first time I've seen someone of the same kind who pretended to be a human noble and even got the name of a courtesan." Lucian said with a smile, "Don't you think it's very interesting?"

Vader wasn't smiling.

"And it's fun to see her panicked, isn't it?" Lucian said happily, grabbing Vader's sleeve.

Even though Lucian was wearing a mask, Vader could still imagine his watery eyes.Widder paused for a while, then shrugged and said, "Whatever you want—you always like to do this kind of thing."

With that said, he turned around and said, "Let's go."

Lucian followed behind him.He knew that among the crowd, the eyes of the succubus Elena, who was famous in the upper class and disguised as a courtesan of a human aristocrat, was secretly staring at him.

This is no secret exchange.he thinks.

It's not bad fun either.

A succubus who can masquerade as a human is quite capable.He remembered that he had seen Elena running away because of their arrival in front of the Houston Manor, she would be a smart person who knew how to exchange and preserve.

She will come to him.

—— Lucian never gave up the idea of ​​running away from Vader.

……

The carriage was heading out of the city, and the florist's destination was outside the city.Lucian originally thought that he would go to places like deep mountains and forests—obviously, those places were more like places for devil sacrifices.

until he arrived...

"Circus?" Lucian muttered.

Contrary to his idea, what the florist arrived at was a noisy and lively circus outside the city.It gets dark early in Wangcheng in late autumn, and it's only nine o'clock in the evening when you come out of the night market.The circus performance is still showing, with drums and drums blaring and colorful flags flying.The townspeople are noisy and carnival in it.

The atmosphere is quite different from the previous night market.

The two had no choice but to get out of the carriage and walk inside on foot.The whole place where the circus is located is very lively inside and out, and there are vendors selling food, performing arts on the spot, or selling some handicraft jewelry along the way.In such an atmosphere, the two of them simply seemed out of place.

Lucian pulled off the hood.A little girl accidentally drops a stuffed bunny at Vader's feet.She ran over and looked up at Vader: "Big..."

Seeing Vader's terrifying appearance (the icy aura around him), the phrase "big brother" was held back in his throat.The little girl opened her mouth, choked in fright, and almost burst into tears.

Vader: ...

"Pfft."

He heard Lucian laugh.The succubus, with white hair tied back and a hat covering its horns, picked up the rabbit.He carefully patted off the dust on it, knelt down and handed the rabbit to the little girl, comforted her in a gentle voice, and rubbed her powdery little face.

The little girl stopped crying immediately.After her mother ran over to take the child away, she turned her head and said goodbye to Lucian with a blushing face. When she met Vader's gaze, the little girl flinched and cried again.

Vader: ...

Lucian saw that Vader's face was cold and stiff, and he was a little overjoyed.Vader said coldly: "You are very good at coaxing children."

"Because I'm prettier than you." Lucian said.

Vader: ...

Vader walked away, Lucian followed behind him.The two walked a few steps, and Vader said: "My tracking spell has been lifted."

"What?" Lucian was taken aback.

"Someone found us, or..."

Vader was frowning, and at this moment, the float that was driving in front also arrived here.The cheering crowd was like a sudden tsunami. In an instant, Vader had only time to grab Lucian's wrist, and the two of them writhed and were rushed back and forth in the crowd.

When the tide finally subsided, Vader immediately turned around and said, "Lu..."

! !

Vader stared intently at his hands.I don't know when, the thing in his hand came from Lucian's hand...

Transformed into the arm of a life-sized doll without a face.

……

After the crowd passed, Lucian struggled to look around, only to find that Vader had disappeared.

"dimension……"

Just as Lucian was about to open his mouth, he found a baron walking by with his son whom he wanted to watch.There are not a few nobles who are familiar with his voice.

He rubbed his ankle, intending to walk around, looking for Vader who didn't know where he was.Just as he got up to walk forward...

A bouquet of roses appeared in front of his eyes.

The bouquet of roses was wine red, but because of the dim light, it was as red as blood.Lucian slowly raised his head, and what he saw was a clown in a white suit.

The clown, with an exaggerated face paint, grinned at him when he saw him.

When the dizziness hit, Lucian didn't resist.He pretended to be unconscious, closed his eyes, and listened to the sound of being taken away.

……

Lucian woke up in a dark basement.

He had shackles on his wrists, and they were tricky, but something of this magnitude was something he could undo with a bit of brainpower.Lucian opened his eyes a little, and opened them after confirming that there were no enemies.

He heard soft sobbing not far away.The voice came from a girl in the next cage, but it was quite familiar.In addition, there seemed to be a few people's faint breathing sounds, also here.

"Elizabeth?"

Lucian said softly.
