Chapter 254

The mermaid stood up and picked up her bag: "Also, Xiao Ran asked me to tell you something. Don't forget that you agreed to go find her."

"Got it."

Lin waved his hand and told her to get out. As soon as the people left, he immediately slapped the table with gritted teeth.

"This grudge will be remembered by this young master."

Iris, who looked confused, asked hurriedly: "What's the matter, Xiao Lin, did you owe foreign debts outside? Then just tell me directly. I have a lot of money here."

"No, hey, let me spend money to buy something that is not worth it."

Rin and Iris talked about the tapir, but didn't mention this. No wonder the silly roe deer was a little confused.

"Forget it, nine thousand gold for a cricket is nothing, the key is this."

Rin picked up the manuscript and shook it, then glanced at the top page.

It was Angela's message, saying that she had worked hard and sleepless during this period, and finally completed the first volume, a total of 210,000 words.

He also told Rin to read it and feel that there was no problem, so he quickly settled the manuscript fee with her.

Rin counted with his fingers and was immediately shocked.

It has only been half a month, and the Star Weaving Witch has completed 210,000 words?

More than 10,000 words a day, and all handwritten, how can you make the people in the pigeon nest feel embarrassed.

Although I was itching and wanted to read the first volume of the novel now, I had already made an appointment with the two girls to buy gifts in the morning, so I could only wait until I came back to read it.

Counting it up, he has a lot of things to do in the past two days.

In addition to preparing for the competition, he still owed three love letters to write, and the Rubik's Cube with hidden clues was not solved. Now there is another editing job.

These stinky women are just delaying things. As long as they are around, I always forget to do the things on hand.

But Rin could only whisper in his heart, estimate the time, and go out with the silly roe deer and waste cat.

…

In a marquis's manor somewhere, Albert lay on the bed like a turtle, with an indignant look on his face.

"Cousin, you must help me get revenge. That bastard Webster hit me so hard, it's obvious that he wanted to beat me to death. The therapist said that my whip wound will take several days to heal. That bastard did it on purpose!"

Sylvester stood by his bed, with a cold face: "Haven't I cleaned up your ass enough? I warned you before not to deal with them again, but you are so good."

"Cousin, you are wronging me." Albert gritted his teeth, "I didn't know that it was their people who were trading with me, otherwise how could I get the skin of a tiger."

Sylvester was about to say something when he suddenly heard a low and hoarse voice. His face changed and he looked at the place where the sound came from.

On the potted plant next to him, a black mist was swirling around the bouquet.

Sylvester didn't call anyone out, but just looked at it coldly, but Albert was scared and tried to twist his neck to look in the direction of the potted plant.

The black mist slid to the ground like silk, and suddenly rose up, condensing into a man wearing a black cloak.

"Your Highness, it is not polite to talk about people behind their backs."

"Heh, the demons also know courtesy and shame?"

Xier retorted without any hesitation, staring at the other party with a sinister look.

Albert said awkwardly: "Cousin, there is no need... There is no need to confront each other right away."

"You are dragged into the water by them, and you still want to lick it?"

Xier stretched out his hand and wanted to slap Albert, but seeing that he was lingering on, he thought about it and gave up.

It's not that he was reluctant, but he was afraid that he would not be able to hold back and beat him to death.

This waste with a pig brain has caused him so much trouble in the past few years.

If it weren't for that time... he would have let him die without anyone noticing.

"Your Highness, it's not right to say that."

The man's voice was low and hoarse, as if he was deliberately suppressing his voice, and he walked up to the two people slowly.

"It's just business dealings. We didn't force Mr. Albert to do anything."

Sylvester's face turned pale, and he suppressed his anger: "But this matter was caused by you, and you should be the one to deal with it."

Albert's eyes lit up, and he shouted quickly: "Yes, don't cross the river and burn the bridge! If I'm exposed, I will tell you immediately."

"Shut up!"

Sylvester scolded, and wanted to beat this idiot to death more and more.

The man in black suddenly raised his head. The outline of his face could not be seen under the hood, only a ball of black smoke, and now this ball of black smoke has changed into the shape of a demon.

"Are you threatening me?"

When it came to the last word, both Sylvester and Albert felt a tremor in their heads, and it seemed that countless demons really pounced in front of them, and they felt a chill on their backs.

Albert was terrified and twisted his body quickly: "No... No, I just... said something wrong."

Because the twisting involved the wound, he screamed in pain again. Fortunately, there was a soundproof barrier here to prevent the wall from having ears.

Xier took a deep breath and said: "Don't worry about Albert, he is an idiot, but one thing is right, if you take action, this matter will be much simpler."

The man in black lowered his head again, and the murderous intent and evil spirit were gone.

"You have to pay us for doing things."

Sylvester snorted coldly: "In the final analysis, it was you who were so audacious that you actually went to the Holy City to steal the sacrificial gun and failed, exposing the military magic weapon, which triggered the following series of events. thing."

"Yes!" Elbert agreed, "As soon as the news of your failed theft came, I knew that I was going to be attacked. The church would definitely start a strict investigation, and the armament depot could not be hidden at all.

I originally wanted to make the old guy look like he committed suicide out of fear of crime, but he didn't expect that this pariah actually had a trick up his sleeve, and his son ran away with the clue.

Then...then I will..."

Elbert took the opportunity to get to the bitter end and told all the causes and consequences.

Sylvester frowned, but did not interrupt him.

"You mean, your handle is now in the hands of some new saint? How can you be so sure?" asked the man in black.

Sil's tone was calm: "I'm not sure, but no matter whose hands that thing is in, it can never be in the hands of the Holy Son. Only by completely eliminating this possibility can we feel at ease. There is no way it could fall into the hands of other students." "

The man in black nodded: "The Holy Son of the Church, indeed, there is nothing you can do against him, and he has absolute authority."

Elbert said angrily: "That kid is so lucky. We had already sent the treasure hunting mark to his space ring, but we didn't expect that he would give the marked thing to Lina."

"It's hard to say whether it was a coincidence or something intentional after discovering it."

Sylvester looked at the man in black with a bit of disgust and fear, but he still expressed his thoughts.

"If the latter is the case, it will be troublesome. He will transfer the things to the Sword Saint Hero, and the situation will only be worse. Besides, this guy is accompanied by someone to protect him. Currently, the people I can use have no way to deal with him."

"so."

The man in black made several more strange laughs: "We can take action, but my master hopes that His Highness the Prince can fetch something for him."

Sylvester said impatiently: "What is it?"

He was well aware of the other party's greed. If he wanted them to do something, he had to come up with something tangible. Before, he just wanted to be on the active side before saying so much.

"The Chapter of Sacrifice."

"What?!" Siel was startled and suddenly became furious, "Dream, the value of this transaction is not equal at all."

The man in black raised his head again, and the ghostly face transformed by the black mist grinned into a big smile.

"I think His Highness the Prince has misunderstood. We are not making a deal. Why do you forget what happened back then so quickly?"

Sylvester's face suddenly darkened, and endless anger burst into his eyes.

"Last time, the two sides were settled. If you still want to threaten me, you would be looking down on me. Now I am the absolute future heir of the empire and cannot be shaken. Your provocations are useless."

After saying that, he waved his hand: "Since you don't want to talk, there's no need to talk. You can leave."

The man in black remained unmoved, put his hands in his sleeves, and smiled even more happily: "I still hope that His Highness can think about it carefully."

"Xiudou sack! Cousin, isn't it just an ancient relic? Just leave it to them. You have to save it..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw the icy coldness in Xi Er's eyes, as if he was going to kill him in the next second. He was so frightened that he trembled all over and buried his head in the pillow without daring to say a word.

"Haha, then don't bother me. I believe His Highness will come to me soon."

As he spoke, the body of the man in black became looming, and finally turned into black mist and disappeared completely.

Siel was just contemplating, his face full of pain and regret.

After a while, he took a deep breath and his expression returned to calm.

At this time, Elbert said cautiously: "Your Highness, what should we do now?"

"What else can I do? Aren't I thinking about it?"

"Hey, without their help... how should we deal with that Bird Saint? We can't expect him to open his mouth and send the things back."

"Um?"

Sylvester suddenly narrowed his eyes, and the bright smile returned to his face.

"You, on the other hand, reminded me that you should stay at home to recuperate during this period and do not go out. Otherwise, Your Highness will make you lie in bed for the rest of your life."

…

"Xiao Rin has such a good eye, Lina will definitely like this bracelet."

Silly Roe Deer took Lin's arm and jumped up and down with joy.

They are now standing in front of a jewelry store, and Rin is looking at the bracelet in his hand.

Fei Miao was still looking like a piece of wood at the side, with a backpack in his arms containing dragon eggs.

This dragon egg has been moving around a lot lately, and Rin also felt that it was probably about to hatch, so she asked them to keep it with them just in case.

Fei Miao originally wanted to put the egg in the inventory... In fact, she could really put the egg in the inventory, but the silly roe deer felt that the little dragon was too pitiful and could not feel the warmth, so the three of them had to take turns carrying the bag when they went out.

"Hey, actually I'm still not very satisfied. As you said, Princess Lena likes books. I should have given her a book of equal value."

The first stop Rin went to was the bookstore. Unfortunately, the popular science knowledge or study books in the bookstore were the ones you could often see in the market or in the library.

Rin felt that Princess Lena should have read them all, but unfortunately he didn't have any rare books on hand.

There must be black foxes there, but how could I ask people to go there and give them to others.

In desperation, I had to choose a string of silver-white crystal bracelets.

This bracelet also has a calming effect and is very suitable for patients.

After closing the box, Rin handed the gift to Silly Roe Deer.

"Whenever you have time, take this to Lina."

Silly Roe Deer thought for a while and pushed open the box: "Xiao Lin is going with me. It's so pitiful for Lina to stay alone in the palace every day. Xiao Lin has the same hobbies as her. There must be many topics to talk about. Let's have fun together. Let’s chat.”

Rin thought for a while, and was indeed somewhat interested. She turned to look at Fei Miao.

"Together?"

"Yeah meow."

Rin took out his pocket watch and looked at it. It was already noon, so he decided to take the two girls to dinner together, and then go to visit Princess Lina and take a look at her to see if she had any other interesting books.

There have been too many people pouring into Glow City recently, and it is still difficult to find a quiet place to eat.

Although the restaurant yesterday was quiet and comfortable, the taste was a bit hard to describe, and it felt like it was just average.

"Eh? His Royal Highness the Holy Son!"

Suddenly, a clear voice of surprise came. Rin turned around and saw the eldest prince Si Er, who was protected by a group of guards, like stars holding the moon.

There was another person standing next to him, but it was Ren.

Lin secretly said something bad, turned around and left regardless of the crowd of people watching.

Unexpectedly, Sylvester was very shameless and simply chased after him: "His Royal Highness, wait a minute."

Rin had no choice but to stop and turn to face the prince who smiled like a dog's tail.

Ren followed reluctantly and greeted several people.
