Chapter 296 The Witch's Stronghold in the Bell Tower
The night air was slightly chilly, and Luo Xi quickly flew across the roof and jumped to another roof.
This is a relatively safe passage found by Hui Yishang, or 'Grey Shadow'.
Because the guards in the city rarely pay attention to the rooftops.
In addition, Luo Xi was wearing the same gray clothes and a hood, which looked like the same style as Gray Shadow.
This is a kind of fabric woven from special spider silk.
It has a nice name, ‘Yuebu’.
You can hide your body to a certain extent under the moonlight, or after dark or in a dark environment.
Just this set, twenty gold coins, was ‘bought’ from Hui Ying.
The interesting thing is that both of them think they have taken a big advantage.
Just an hour ago, Luo Xi and Gray Shadow reached an agreement. A bowl of cold water poured over Cinderella to wake up the girl, and then three people appeared in front of her as 'guardians'.
The idea of 'Guardian' was not thought up by Luo Xi, nor by Gray Shadow, but by Kuang Shi.
Just because of preconceptions, I followed this argument that sounded nonsense at first sight, but the interesting thing is that this girl Cinderella is indeed simple in nature.
She believed it.
But do you really believe it?
You must know that no one can lie in front of Luo Xi.
And his first opinion of Cinderella was that she was a child with a ‘heart’.
Also a ‘smart’ child.
Luo Xi likes to deal with smart people, whether they are children or not, because that will save trouble. In the same way, if you say a hundred words to a stupid person, the other party may not be able to understand it, but with a smart person When someone says something, the other person will understand it.
So, Luo Xi’s plan to develop strong girls was actually aborted from the very beginning.
Because Cinderella is actually not innocent, she is much more mature than she appears.
So in Luo Xi's case, the plan became how to turn a child who is already smart, smart and ambitious into a talented person capable of realizing her ambitions.
Of course, in this process, Luo Xi used some methods, such as [Bewitch], and he was even thinking about whether to use the [Werewolf's Curse] in his hand on Cinderella.
Later I held back.
It’s not because Cinderella cannot bless this power of [spiritual transfer]. On the contrary, she is a hidden patient. Luo Xi said that she has hatred hidden in her heart. This is not a joke, it is just hers. Reason is strong enough to suppress such negative emotions.
But if you are sick, you are sick. Sometimes, the more serious the illness, the more normal you look.
This little girl Cinderella obviously belongs to this type.
It’s not surprising that the crazy lion can’t see it. She can fool this guy like Gray Shadow. The little girl does have two skills.
As for Luo Xi, he and this girl had a clear understanding of each other, so after a brief and separate 'honest conversation', Luo Xi, after careful consideration, gave up the idea of turning the girl into a werewolf, and instead turned the girl into a werewolf. The [Unknown Magic Core], which was obviously a mission item, was handed over to her.
"Actually, I have wanted to study spells and magic for a long time." Cinderella said her heart out when she was sure that only Luo Xi and her were in the room. At this moment, the girl seemed to take off her disguise.
She is indeed smart and knows that the person in front of her has seen through her.
"It's not too late to learn, I'm optimistic about you." Luo Xi gave her a little encouragement.
"Is there a magic wand? Or something that can add magic power. I have seen that fairy before and noticed that she was wearing a very special ring on her finger."
"Little girl , there will be wands, and there will be magic rings, but not now."
"I understand, by the way, the fairy is my godmother, so can I call you my godfather?"< br>
"You can call me whatever you want, it's just a title, but the fact that you can use this name shows that you respect me."
"I do respect you!" Cinderella used the honorific at this time.
"What else do you want to say to me?" Luo Xi always has the ability to see into people's hearts. He could see that Cinderella in front of him had some 'hesitation', like a gambler. With chips in hand, I don’t know which side I should bet on in this life-related gamble.
At this time, you need to 'guide'.
Help her make up her mind.
"Mr. Godfather, I actually heard from my godmother that she has similar people in this city." Cinderella finally made up her mind and threw out her bet, or she just threw out a bait.
Similar?
Witches of the same kind must also be witches.
"Is there any other information or clues about this matter?" Luo Xi asked proactively.
Cinderella seemed to be thinking about the memories: "Let me think about it, the godmother did say it, but I can't remember it clearly."
Sure enough, she was fishing before, and this girl is very clever.
At critical moments, a 'spell' to restore memory is needed.
Luo Xi took out two cards and materialized them respectively.
One is the [Witch Tree Wand], and the other is of course the [Magic Ring].
Then Luo Xi said: "Choose one."
Cinderella's eyes shone, she thought for a moment and grabbed the [Magic Ring] in her hand.
She is indeed a very smart girl.
"Mr. Godfather is good to me. Godmother only wants me to hook up with the prince of the royal family. I can see that she has other purposes. She just treats me as a pawn." Cinderella acted coquettishly at this time He said generally: "Besides, I once heard my godmother say that there are her sisters in the bell tower."
But she does have a strong talent. [Magic Ring] Luo Xi has worn it before, but it has no effect. But after Cinderella put on this ring, she immediately had a magical resonance.
It means that there is a source of magic power in her body.
He is a good child who is born to be a witch.
"So, do you know what you should do now?" Luo Xi asked.
"I know, everything is at the mercy of the godfather." Cinderella smiled and then took the ring off her finger. Obviously, she would not reveal that she had activated the magic power in her body for the time being.
He is a child with a heart.
"Then, act with Gray Shadow. Of course, relatively speaking, Mr. Lion is more innocent. He is the only one who does not have any purpose or intention. I quite like Mr. Lion." Cinderella Said again.
"I feel relieved when you say that." Luo Xi nodded, thought for a while, and then said: "Actually, Hui Ying is very kind to you. He probably likes you."
"But I don't like him!" Cinderella blinked her big eyes.
“Well, poor licking dog!”
"Mr. Godfather, what is dog licking?"
No need to say much else, this girl understands it in her heart.
She had no choice but to disguise herself as a silly person before. The only father who loved her passed away unexpectedly. How could Cinderella not see the problem with her ice-snow intelligence?
But she didn’t dare to say it.
She can't show that she sees the problem.
In the past, there were people with ill intentions around her, who either treated her as a slave or a pawn. She could only hide her true self, being bullied and fearful every day, until she met Luo Xi, who in her opinion was so powerful that she didn't need to hide it anymore.
Because there is no point in hiding, just be honest and honest.
Now, she can finally release her nature and show her true talent.
Luo Xi will not focus all his attention on her.
His burns were scarred, and he looked like a monster, so after getting a set of shadow clothes sewn from moon cloth, Luo Xi kept wearing them so that everyone else could Can't tell what he looks like.
Next, he planned to go to the bell tower to take a look at the night, because witches are stronger at night and their magic power will be doubled. This is what Cinderella said.
She does know a lot of things.
Luo Xi's investigation this time was just an attempt. It would be better if he could find useful information, and it wouldn't be a loss if he couldn't find it. He couldn't sleep in this long night anyway.
The palace in the distance is brightly lit, and the dance party is probably reaching its climax.
This kind of dance usually lasts until late.
According to the original plot, Cinderella needs to return before the clock strikes twelve o'clock at midnight, otherwise some of the falsehoods maintained by the magic will be exposed. In other words, the dance will not end even after midnight.
I don’t know why the witch’s magic fails at midnight.
This may also be a key information and scene mechanism.
There are many guards patrolling the city, and there are even hidden sentries in some places.
Interestingly, some secret sentries are also located on rooftops or in some dark corners.
If Luo Xi hadn't been wearing this set of clothes, he would have been discovered by a secret whistle.
There were no surprises on the road. Luo Xi was known for his steady behavior. Although it took a little time, he finally reached the destination smoothly.
Block Tower.
This is actually a building made of granite. It is very stable and acts like a weathervane in the city, an anchor in the center of the city.
On the side of the bell tower is a church.
Luo Xi began to explore and found that there were several nuns and an old priest in the church, as well as a small number of guards specially guarding the place. Most of them were in the east yard, and the connecting room on the west side was the residence of the nuns.
In addition, there is a chapel in the church, and there are several confession rooms. Soon, Luo Xi found a confession room surrounded by three nuns. They seemed to be doing some shameful things. , but because of the special environment, Luo Xi could not enter.
But he could tell that something was wrong with these three nuns.
One of them even wrote ‘lies’ in her body language.
The guards guarding here did their duty and there were almost no weak points of breakthrough. Just when Luo Xi thought that he would return without success this time, he accidentally discovered something.
One, an inconspicuous mark engraved on the wall on the side of the bell tower.
Seeing this mark, Luo Xi was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
He hid in the nearest corner, completely hiding his figure in the shadows. When he stood still, the shadow mooncloth clothes on his body produced a special effect, perfectly matching the surrounding shadows. blend together.
Every time on the hour, there will be a special person to ring the bell. When the bell rings ten times, a graceful nun wearing a nun's costume, covering her face, comes out of the house. She looked around to make sure no one noticed her, then walked towards the side of the clock tower, and stopped at the spot where she carved the mark.
Then she made a discovery.
Because next to the original mark she left, there was an obviously newly carved mark.
At that moment, she thought she was dazzled.
Looking carefully again, after confirming that he saw it correctly, he suppressed his pounding heart and looked around.
Soon, she noticed a dark corner not far ahead, between the corners of two buildings, so she walked quickly over, and when she got closer, she looked around, and after a long time He whispered: "Where are you?"
Almost the next second, an arm pulled her into the shadows.
