Chapter 292: The Fatal Temptation of a Beautiful Clock
In fact, Xiaowei has always had a doubt. That antique clock shows that many people know that there is a problem. Why not destroy it? If it is really a supernatural item, then why can't the church identify it?
With these doubts in mind, Xiaowei left the school together with Jasmine and Lilith. A cloak was put on his body in the carriage, and the cloak was retracted after three seconds. All feel very surprised.
Lilith's casual clothes were also very fast, while Jasmine didn't need to change clothes at all. Many people knew her identity early on. There was no need to hide what should be known, and there was no right to control her if they should not know.
Back in the House of Everything, the well-dressed black businessman had already been waiting for a long time. This mission was entrusted to the Special Affairs Office of the city hall by the son of the rich businessman. Jasmine had also heard of the bell of blooming and withering flowers in her early years. It’s just that I hadn’t seen the real thing back then, so now that I have the opportunity, I naturally wouldn’t miss it. It’s just that Jasmine is quite self-aware and knows that she doesn’t have the ability to handle it, so she brought along the most knowledgeable and smartest people in the house of masters.
Mos Rot is the first heir of the Rot family. He is only 25 years old and independently operates more than a dozen businesses. He has assets of hundreds of thousands of gold coins. He is married and has a three-year-old son. His wife is the heir of another business family. Female, a typical marriage relationship, the relationship between the husband and wife is average, each has its own extramarital affairs.
Seeing this information, the alpaca ran wildly in Xiaoweier's heart. The circle of nobles and rich people is really chaotic, but one thing can be confirmed, that child is indeed the son of Moss Lotter and the future heir of the family, the premise is Mos Lot was able to take power and wait until his son grew up.
In addition to the family residence, there are many mansions in the city of the Rot family. Almost all of these places are used by family members to keep their lovers. This mansion used to be the place where Moss' father's lover lived. Later, the courtesan chose to go outside the city when he got old. This manor fell into the hands of Moss.
Dressed in luxurious casual clothes, with meticulous hair and white gloves, Moss is very formal when receiving guests. This is also the result of their family education. The mansion is more spacious and luxurious, but the location is not as good as the central area.
The tea set is a treasure, the black tea is a treasure, and even the service staff are specially trained, but no matter Jasmine, Lilith or Xiaoville are very used to all this, black merchants are well-informed, and have been to many noble and wealthy merchants' mansions As a guest, you will naturally not be troubled by this matter.
"This is Mr. Scholar, the controller of the Everything House." Moss Roth politely introduced himself to several people, and then went directly to Xiaowei. Not everyone knows Xiaowei's true identity. The head of the Security Department, Jasmine, Wright, and others know very little. Some people in the upper echelons of the church know, but the people in the City Lord's Mansion know more.
"I'm so glad to meet you, Mr. Rott, my humble scholar, temporarily in charge of the House of Everything." Smallville folded the book in his hand, and the magic book was an inch away from his palm, and the soft "pop~" sound disappeared, "Your Mansion Director Jasmine has already briefly mentioned the matter to us, I wonder if Mr. Roth has temporarily isolated the foreign object?"
Mos Root's eyes lit up. This is definitely not an ordinary blindfold. This seemingly young scholar who doesn't know his exact age is definitely not an ordinary person. Mos himself is not a superhuman, but there is a Senior fighters, several intermediate fighters, intermediate knights, and a bloodline awakener are no strangers to extraordinary power.
wizard? A wizard who can walk in the land of the gods aboveboard? Thinking of this, Moss immediately became more confident in the scholar, "Yes, after my lover's accident, I immediately blocked that clock, but..."
"But wherever you hide that clock,
Does it always appear next to your lover the next day? Moss was greatly encouraged by Xiaoweier's words.
"Since Mr. Scholar can guess this situation, is there a solution?" Moss said in a hurry.
Smallville sighed secretly in his heart, the matter was really not that simple. After the former Minister of Commerce sold the clock, he did not send someone to buy it back, but the clock reappeared inexplicably. Return the money to the merchant.
"I can't guarantee anything until I have carefully checked that thing, but at least it won't be worse than it is now, right?" Xiaowei smiled slightly, making a joke, as long as it is not a living thing or something with a master, it can be directly sacrificed What can't be solved by the gods and demons of wisdom? But in order to maximize the benefits, and to allow him to cooperate more, he still has to pretend.
"Then trouble Mr. Scholar." Moss lacked confidence. Although he could vaguely guess something, it didn't mean he could really solve it. He had tried many methods himself, but the church's magic couldn't purify it. When it is destroyed, it will cause pain to the lover, but the clock and watch are unscathed.
Back then, grandpa also wanted to save his lover, right? But this feeling of powerlessness is really uncomfortable. What Moss is more afraid of is that he will repeat the mistakes of his grandfather. When his grandfather passed away, he had already remembered, and he still clearly remembered his aging appearance.
After being polite, Moss led a few people to a separate study room, and a wooden box was placed on the middle table alone, apparently specially placed alone. There were only six people who entered the study room, besides Moss, Jasmine, Lilith, the black merchant, Xiaoweier and a mid-level soldier bodyguard, who were obviously Moss' cronies, so they were specially allowed to enter.
Moss carefully removed the wooden box, which was covered with a piece of silk. After removing the silk, a beautiful and exquisite clock appeared in everyone's sight.
Inexplicably moved, Xiaowei had an urge to hold it in his hand and watch it carefully. Suddenly, Xiaowei turned his head to see Lilith and Jasmine's faces full of intoxication, and the black merchant also showed admiring expressions, and Mos Root's expression was slightly complicated, with both liking and fear, but the bodyguard turned around to look at the clock without looking at it.
"Ahem~" Xiaowei let out a dry cough, drawing the attention of Lilith, Jasmine, and the black merchant away from the clock. The three of them were startled and reacted at the same time.
Moss had a panoramic view of the performances of several people, and at the same time felt a little incredible about the scholar's concentration. You must know that people who see this artwork for the first time will undoubtedly not be attracted by it, and this one who does not seem to be as big as himself Scholars, actually resisted the temptation, and even awakened others.
The fact that the two women were able to restrain their emotions so quickly also made Moss quite admirable. You must know that this thing is not very attractive to women in the general sense.
"This is the bell of the flowers in full bloom, and it is also the bell of the flowers withering. As long as you don't touch it with your hands, you will be fine." Moss couldn't help reminding that the people who had the accident were not just grandpa and his three. The confidante, in order to verify the danger of this thing, the family also let other people come into contact with this thing, and the result was quite scary.
It's just that the young Moss didn't know about it at the time. It wasn't until his lover had an accident that he found his father and got a general idea of the weirdness of this thing. People who come into direct contact with this thing will be in danger. The longer the contact time, the greater the danger. Moreover, this thing seems to be effective for only one person at a time. After identifying a person, you will know that this person is dead before going to the next person, or previous person.
Moss did not tell anyone about such news, and although his grandfather sold this item, the merchant who bought it was a very delicate person, and he was afraid of damaging this treasure, so he did not go through it. Anyone's hands, and finally this thing returned to its own home.
Moss also thought about whether to transfer this thing, but when he thought that he had been in direct contact with it, he couldn't help feeling a little creepy. If nothing else, after the death of his lover, it would be his turn next, unless he was like grandpa. , giving it to the second young woman.
This method treats the symptoms but not the root cause, but it can ensure that he can survive smoothly, or just survive a little, but Moss is unwilling, he is not even willing to let his lover die. So after seeking help from the church to no avail, he successively sought out some so-called experts, scholars and wizards, but all failed in the end. It was not until he heard the name of a scholar from the Master House by chance, that he made a temporary decision, dead horse As a living horse doctor, he found the Special Affairs Department of the city hall.
The head of the Special Affairs Office is the grand knight of the Kendall family? This fact made Mos Root overjoyed. You must know that the Kendall family is the number one underground family in Drake City. What would happen if this happened to them?
Moss didn't dare to let such a thing happen, but he was sure that they would not wait to die when they encountered such a thing. Moss still had a lot of opinions on the former Kendall patriarch who sat and watched his grandfather die. So last time the Kendall family was in trouble, he also contributed a little bit, but he respected the two great knights, Wright and Jasmine, and he respected the hero who could lead the army to defeat the alien coalition and shatter the conspiracy of the hell messengers. , is also very optimistic about their abilities.
The appraisal eye was opened, Xiaoweier got the feedback, and couldn't help but his eyes lit up, good things, we must take them down!
