A subjugated princess will never die a vagabond

Feeling the dry, cold and discolored tentacles crawling out of the stinging marks on the face, the red wine that Ucelin drank at the banquet almost drowned with her skirt. ..."

"Stab!"

The tentacle slapped a loud slap, and cut blood on Ucelin's face. The cultist's laughter was accompanied by anger and jealousy: "I know, your lord's favor can be lawless, but you also need to know that this kind of The time will not be long, hee hee hee, just sit here and watch, when I catch that little boy, I want you to watch with your own eyes how he changes from full flesh and blood to bones!"

The body under the cultist's cloak disintegrated again, and this time the doll could be seen clearly. It was countless tiny, floating flocculent creatures swimming out of the ventilation duct leading to the fireplace, wrapped in a brain connected to countless neuromycelia.

Ucelin was so relieved, she collapsed on the ground, even the strength to sob was exhausted, only tears dazzled her makeup.

Cloris took back the doll and rushed towards Adam Lawrence without stopping.She didn't know whether Adam Lawrence underestimated the enemy or overestimated herself. Although Evening Star Island is not Gu Lingting, it is also the boundary of Floating Star Sea. Even Cloris herself does not know what kind of strong person she will meet in the next second. By.

Adam Lawrence is a bit scheming, but unfortunately he is seriously lacking in strength. In the city that never sleeps, such a character may be able to thrive in the battle of gangs, but in Sea of ​​Floating Stars...

The enchantment that Coffin Poison constructed to trap and kill Naina at the beginning would cause investigation by the authorities within an hour at most. Even so, she was still unlucky. God-endowed tester.

The more so, the more Cloris felt that it was a miracle that Adam Lawrence had survived without a backer.As far as she is concerned, not to mention the trump card for self-protection, under normal circumstances, even a transcendent at the level of coffin poison can deal with it for a few rounds. If she encounters a fatal situation in the sea of ​​floating stars, she can still rely on the blessing of the Milky Way Call directly to the hall master sister.

Feelings are emotions, Cloris felt that it was necessary to grab Adam Lawrence, so as not to fulfill the wishes of the Pidevria family.

After Adam Lawrence left the hotel, he no longer hesitated. He tightly held the pink gem that Ucelin stuffed into his hand. It was originally an ornament on the necklace, and there was no abnormality except for the fine carving, but inside There must be hidden clues that the woman wanted to tell him.

On the ferry back to Gringing Court, Adam Lawrence let go of all his defenses the moment he sat back in the cabin and let out a long sigh of relief.

Although the ancient spirit court has not lived in peace these past few months, not only the crime rate has soared, but there have been vicious cases such as air robbery and ship robbery in the coastal waters, but it is much better than marginal areas like Evening Star Island.

Moreover, the newspaper office he works for belongs to the Explorers' Guild, and it is within the shelter of [Weicheng], one of the safest areas in Denggang City. Most of the suspicious people will be immediately notified by the lamp spirits of the street lamps to the higher-ups.

"It's like a pure handicraft..." Adam Lawrence lay on the bed, looking at the gemstone in his hand that reflected the light of the oil lamp.

He is not a jewelry appraiser, and he can't judge whether the material of this gemstone has mysterious properties, but from the intuitive point of view, this gemstone seems to be just a nice decoration, without any hidden information.

While thinking about it, the color of the oil lamp suddenly dimmed a lot, and a cold chill penetrated into the back of his feet. Adam Lawrence's eyes froze, and he immediately pulled out the revolver that was attached to his waist and waited for it.

"Brother reporter, are you looking at some token of love?" Sharp laughter sounded from the bottom of his feet, Adam Lawrence looked up, and a cloak appeared at the end of the bed at some point, and a blue flocculent fog came from the door. Floating in intermittently, gradually condensing into a tangible shape.

Looking at the face under the hood again, Adam Lawrence's blood pressure was suddenly full of horror, and he shot without hesitation. Under the unique penetration of the enchanted bullet, the steel projectile passed through the cotton, deeply stuck Entering the hard alloy steel plate in the cabin, even his own wrist was bent back under the shock of being unaccustomed to using a gun, and his shoulder was almost dislocated.

He misses it.

If the first shot can hit that brain, maybe it can kill the opponent?

Adam Lawrence thought so, but he didn't get a second chance.

The flocs have already rushed to the face and poured into the nasal cavity. Even though the spiritual veins of the supernatural have the function of removing foreign substances, Adam Lawrence's thin source power and the strength of the spiritual veins cannot deeply grasp every organ at all. His lungs Being blocked, severe pain rushed to the brain, and the nasal cavity seemed to breathe the smell of blood.

This is an extremely painful way to die, half a minute at the latest, his spirit veins will lose all resistance, and let the unknown flocs eat.

At the moment when Adam Lawrence lost all hope, the gentle orange light suddenly lit up. The sunset-like twilight and languid color carried a paralyzing lethargy, and even the pain was dulled by this brilliance.

"Small! Worm! Son!" The little duke squeezed the sticky flocs of sleeping blood into a ball with a smirk, "Miscellaneous! Soldier!"

This time it was the turn of the cultist to be horrified. The heavy exhaustion and powerlessness flooded into the brain, which made it lose the power to condense the entity, and those flocs also lost control in a sleepy state and drifted randomly.

"who!"

"Good man, good man, beautiful woman," the white mycelium "swimmed" in from the round window of the cabin, Cloris wearing a pure white beak mask grew from the creeper, she took out [Luentia] Shot Adam Lawrence and asked the cultist, "Okay, brainy babe, what's your name?"

This question made the cultist move back a few feet in surprise.

"Little darling" was what it called Ucelin just now, which means that the epidemic doctor in front of him has been secretly watching!

"Does the epidemic doctor also want to intervene in this matter?" The voice of the cultist was cold, but it didn't have the gloomy and cold momentum before, and the "pace" of retreating quietly, already showed obvious timidity.

But when it retreated to the door, it found that the gap in the door was tightly filled with pale matter.

The blanket and stems woven by the mycelium of the Cangsheng mask are as full of fungi and plants as the master, but the breath brought by the two is completely different, pure and elegant, not stained with dust, which is the intuitive feeling of the cultists to the epidemic doctor in front of them.

It can fully imagine the beautiful face under the mask, which is so beautiful that it makes people jealous.

Cloris chuckled and said, "Of course I do. On behalf of all the epidemic doctors of the Life Research and Protection Association, I announce that we will never die with Piedforia and the Corrupted Monastery, including their dogs."

While the girl was laughing, the cultists had already gathered their strength and prepared to fight back.

But the little duke was not just playing with the balls made of floc, its blood-red eyes suddenly stared at the villain: "Bug! You are not a little boy!"

Sleeping Blood slapped the cloak against the wall like a wave.

The little duke laughed sharply: "Do you know that you are wrong!"

The cultist's tongue trembled, and it struggled to spit out a mouthful of cold mist: "Crazy... bastard."

"No, how many times have I said it, call me Lord Duke!"

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The Little Duke rode the cloak on the door, and it punched the "brain" of the cultist, and the sleeping blood flowed up in a posture that was not controlled by gravity.

The severe pain in the brain made the cultists couldn't help screaming in pleading voices: "My lord, my lord!"

"My lord duke, what!"

"My lord duke!" To Adam Lawrence's surprise, the cultist made such a plea, and there seemed to be a sense of relief hidden in this plea, "Please, my lord duke, execute me..."

"Tsk, it's as exciting as rubber!"

After all, the little duke grabbed the cultist's brain, as if he was choking his throat.

The blazing sun is of course the bane of these evils, but the twilight can also drown all in a painful nightmare, and it is just as clean.

The tide flooded up, accompanied by bursts of laughter sharper than the cultists, which made Adam Lawrence, who had just breathed out, despair again, feeling like he had moved from the abyss to hell.

522. Misfortunes never come singly

When Adam Lawrence woke up, he found himself lying on a soft brocade four-poster bed. The starry night outside the window had changed from dark blue to brighter. A plastic bag filled with orange solution was hung on the bedpost. Water droplets slowly entered the catheter and passed through the needle. into the blood on the back of his hand.

Beside the bed, a white-robed woman wearing a bird's beak mask was using an alcohol lamp that released the scorching sun to burn off the blue fungus on the surgical "line".

"You are... cough, cough, cough!" Adam Lawrence tried his best to sit up, but he was exhausted and didn't say anything. As soon as he opened his mouth, he coughed out a dry and hard residue that was so bitter and convulsive.

Cloris manipulated the little slave trader to eat the burnt ashes, and glanced at Adam Lawrence: "This is the seaside of Stargazing City. I helped you control your illness a little bit. At least you are safe so far."

"I remember..." Adam Lawrence clutched his stomach and forehead from time to time, "I was attacked... why? Pink diamonds? Ucelin?"

"This is a normal side effect after taking drugs. You will lose some memory fragments," while speaking, Cloris wrote down observation records with a pen and paper, and she said sternly, "Those fungi from your trachea Invasion into the body, plus your constitution is too weak, the medicine that others can adapt to caused your heartbeat to stop suddenly, I have to take the form of drip to reduce your discomfort."

"Thank you..." Adam Lawrence said while rubbing his stomach. However, he felt a tear-like pain from his chest to his abdomen. He lifted the quilt and found that the skin was perfectly sutured scars one after another. If it wasn't for You Lan The colored toxins soaked the wounds, and it was difficult to see individual scars only with the naked eye.

It's just that when the lines are intricately distributed, it is especially frightening.

Cloris said indifferently: "The medicine will make the fungus inert, they will gather together in a dormant state, some of them will be discharged with your cough, but most of them will accumulate in your body, and they may also be blocked when you cough Throat, so a minor surgery was needed to get that stuff out."

minor surgery...

It is difficult for Adam Lawrence to understand what kind of physique is not weak. He has been healthy since he was a child and has rarely been to the hospital so far, but he dare not refute it. After all, the epidemic doctor represents the absolute authority of deep medical treatment. Witch doctors are probably hard to compare.

"Hey!" Adam Lawrence's throat suddenly convulsed, and he vomited a ball of fluff on the ground. The twisting of his muscles made him almost suffocate.

"In addition to vomiting, most of the pollutants will be excreted with the blood circulation. Of course, this may cause constipation or stones. If you encounter these problems, you can go to a specialist clinic for medical treatment. This is a side effect of pollutants." Having said that, On the paper, Cloris wrote "Luentia's blood coagulation hazard (the first case)", she said, "I will keep the gemstone for you, the water in Gulingting is very deep, you can't grasp it."

Adam Lawrence was silent.

He can be regarded as a transcendent with relatively high potential. At the age of 30, he is embedded with [video tape], [thief], [dexterity], and [adrenaline] without obvious curse. The inherent mysterious characteristics he masters are about the same as Cloris At the same level, if you follow the steps step by step, you will reach the peak state only after you develop a disaster-level skill at the age of 40.

But the mysterious characteristics are not just about the number and level. From this point of view, Adam Lawrence, who lacks enough practical experience, is like a naive child. He lacks a deep understanding of the extraordinary world. The training class aims to be a good reporter.His ability is sufficient in most places. After all, the level of most extraordinary people is only specialized in one or two directions, which is not much higher than him. Unfortunately, this is the Sea of ​​Floating Stars. During the turbulent period, there is no backer And the hole card is only suitable for tails.

Adam Lawrence asked: "The Life Research and Preservation Association is a supporter of the Socialist Party. The slave trade case is the best opportunity to attack the Pioneer Party. What do you plan to do?"

"Who do you represent? The explorer's guild commissioner? I'm not as easy to deceive as that actress." Cloris looked slightly confused.She knew that Adam Lawrence had no background, nor belonged to any side of the power struggle, and that he involved himself in the vortex was a way of death.

"When every president of Tianshu takes the oath, he will mention justice and justice," Adam Lawrence took a deep breath, his breathing almost stagnated, and heaviness was sprayed on the bed with a cough of filth. He asked feebly, "Shouldn't it?"

"Perhaps." Cloris said ambiguously, "I suggest that you rest in this manor for a week or two, and someone will send you a bill later—the accommodation rent may not be mentioned, but treatment and medicine are not free."

Seeing that Cloris was leaving, Adam Lawrence hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"

"Evening Star Island," the girl said coldly, "If it wasn't for saving you, I should have tied up that actress first."

Although Cloris' original purpose was to track down Adam Lawrence, in hindsight, Ucelin seems to be more valuable in the slave trade case.

It is more than [-] kilometers away from Evening Star Island, whether by ferry or airship, it takes half a day to go back and forth. It was already noon when Cloris came to the hotel where Ucelin was staying again.

However, what Cloris didn't expect was that the Starry Sky Hotel had already waited for more than a dozen local police officers, who were questioning tourists near the port and conducting investigations.

Cloris saw Weiman sitting on a park bench with her chin in a daze, the girl walked over, patted the woman on the shoulder and asked, "Weiman, what's going on?"

Weiman was startled at first, but when she heard Cloris' voice, she made no secret of her surprise: "Clorice! Where have you been?"

"What are those policemen doing?"

"Oh, it looks like the poor actor has been broken into again."

"Dead?" Cloris' eyes widened.

"No, the murder was attempted." Weiman muttered, "It's too pitiful. She just encountered that kind of thing tomorrow night and was bullied by bad guys again. She should go to the Star Church to receive blessings and wash away her bad luck."

"Ma'am," a policeman approached and asked, "are you staying here tonight?"

"No, I'm staying at the Evening Star Hotel, and I just came to take a walk by the beach," Weiman shook her head, and she asked curiously, "What's the matter with the security of the Starry Sky Hotel, a quasi-first-line actress would be raped?"

"The specific situation needs to be investigated... Also, have you seen the person in the photo near the port?"

The police took out another photo, and Cloris took a closer look. It was a profile photo of Adam Lawrence at the dinner party!

523. Clues

Weiman stared at the photo carefully, she thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "Oh - this is not that who!"

The detective's eyes lit up and he asked, "Have you seen it?"

Weiman said: "Of course, at the banquet at the Campus Palace, that guy hung a camera. Could it be that he was the perpetrator you said? But isn't he a reporter?"

The detective looks disappointed. Everyone knows that Adam Lawrence has gone to the banquet, but this does not help in tracking his traces.They questioned the records of the boarding passengers at the port and found no Adam Lawrence's name, unless the murderer had wings, which usually means two possibilities - he is still on the island, or he used a false ID Smuggled away.

Cloris asked, "Yoselin, the actress, is she all right?"

"Besides being mentally frightened, there is no other obvious trauma." After not getting the desired news, the disappointed police detective said hastily, "Thank you for your patience, I still have work to do, so I won't accompany you .”

After the police detective walked away, Weiman hesitated and said, "Cloris, I don't remember you going last night..."

Weiman vaguely guessed that Cloris found Adam Lawrence, which was the best explanation she could think of for the reporter to resign as soon as the girl left behind.But if this is the case, it must be a serious matter, and it is inconvenient for her to ask Miss Ke face-to-face with such privacy, as long as Miss Ke has no such intentions for Adam Lawrence.And her words are so earnest and ambiguous, it's good to guess right, and it also sets off her natural intelligence, even if she guesses wrong - anyway, she didn't say anything.

Staying with Miss Ke, Weiman felt that her analytical ability had improved a lot, and her wisdom had taken a qualitative leap!

Cloris looked at her seriously: "What are you going to do?"

Weiman was discouraged by the stare: "It's nothing..."

Miss Ke didn't respond with the same "deep meaning" to her hesitant words, and Weiman couldn't get any information out of her rhetorical question.

"Look, Cloris!" Weiman pointed to the hotel door to change the subject.

At the door, Yossarian, whose eyes were in a trance and who was obviously overly frightened, walked out with the help of several waiters. She ignored the reporter's photos and interviews, and was guarded by many servants.

Stepping on the gold-plated mechanical carriage parked at the intersection, it disappeared from everyone's sight in a short while.

The girl could vaguely feel the icy gaze briefly scratching her neck, and the momentary inspiration didn't seem to be specifically aimed at, but swept over everyone including her.

After the coolness disappeared, Cloris spread her hands from under her sleeveless shirt, revealing the red gemstone in her palm: "You are a mage, can you identify this thing?"

"Of course!" Weiman readily agreed, and couldn't wait to show off her talent, but she just glanced at it, and immediately covered the girl's slender hand.

Cloris frowned and said, "Is this thing important? I don't feel any mystery."

"Isn't this worn by a hot, hot woman?" Weiman asked riddles, but as soon as she opened her mouth, the two immediately understood each other. She whispered, "It's not a mysterious item, but its craftsmanship comes from a well-known luxury store, uh..."

Weiman hesitated to speak.

Cloris put away the gems, took Weiman's hand, and led her into the closed public bathroom, and returned to the Evening Star Hotel through the Oberland gate.

"What a magical portal!" Weiman was amazed.

Without giving her a chance to marvel, Cloris asked, "Do you know the origin of this gem?"

"Of course, I, Weiman Lisara, may be a bit inferior in the level of authenticating mysterious items, but there are no things in luxury stores that I haven't played with!" Weiman Rooster raised his neck proudly, showing ups and downs His smooth skin is like a child asking for credit.

"speak."

"Oh..." Weiman, who didn't get the compliment, muttered, and she replied honestly, "The raw material of this gem is produced in the crystal mine under the Bolis Salt Lake in the upper mist layer. It is famous for its exquisite color and good magical properties. The facets and engravings on this gemstone are made by Andinar treasure craftsmen, which are suitable for the enchantment of most "water-based" secret texts, the tolerance and transmission of mysterious characteristics, beauty and beauty, and longevity. It can also be used as a medium to dispel curses. Very mild mineral."

After all, she looked specifically at Cloris's black eyes, eager to see a glimmer of approval, but there was nothing.

"Let's get to the point, Weiman, like the luxury store you're talking about."

"Elizabeth's Jewelry Store," Weiman said with frustration at the end of the ball, "you can see Elizabeth's consumer industries all over the world, hotels, clothing stores, jewelry stores, alchemy stores, department stores... under my name Eighty percent of the products produced in the Alchemy Workshop will be sold to Elizabeth."
