Chapter 400 Dead Man
Chapter 400 Dead Man
After entering the room, the young man quickly made the bed for the two of them, asked if they wanted hot water, and then retreated under Julian's signal.
When the door was closed, the figure of Hughes emerged from the air.
"How is it?" Julian asked.
Hughes touched his chin, "It's really interesting. With my strength, I felt danger when I entered that room."
Julian's eyes froze. It was obviously not right that a seemingly ordinary young man could make Hughes feel dangerous.
No, wait.
He remembered that Hughes said that he stole the emerald from the young man two days ago, did he not realize the danger at that time?
Hughes saw what he meant, and spread his hands: "The interesting thing is here, the person is still the same person, but the feeling has changed." He made a metaphor, "If the day before yesterday he was just the most ordinary If it is a human male, then today, he seems to have suddenly become a powerful monster."
"Nei...is there a replacement?" Combined with the curse of the emerald, Julian naturally guessed this way.
Hughes nodded, then shook his head again.
"What?" Julian didn't understand what it meant.
"It means, I don't know either. Judging from the breath, the person must have not changed, but... there is something weird anyway."
Julian squinted at him, thinking nonsense, it's not weird and I don't have to investigate so hard.
"What do you think?" He looked at Owen.
Owen stood at the window, looked at the tightly closed window not far away, lowered his eyes and said lightly: "Wait and see."
Julian also agrees with Owen's idea. The source of this emerald is unknown, and judging from Hughes' experience, it is likely that this thing has spread unknowingly in the imperial capital.
Although the golden crown said that it would take a long time to hold this thing to cause bad consequences, but... that was compared with Ikanser, and ordinary people might be finished in a short time.
Of course, it is unlikely that such cursed gems will be mass-produced no matter what, so according to normal deduction, this thing should not be used on ordinary civilians.
Julian's heart moved, and he said to Hughes, "Why did you steal his gem?"
Hughes was taken aback: "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is, what is the reason why you want to steal this gem? You are a dignified seventh-level assassin, and you are not short of money. It is hard for me to imagine that you would steal something from a young man for no reason."
"Uh..." When Julian said this, Hughes was really stunned, and he frowned slightly: "Yes, although I am more arbitrary, I don't do it casually. The reason why I stole from that kid , mainly because he is not pleasing to the eye.”
"What did he do?" Owen asked with a frown.
"He bullied an old lady." Hughes also remembered the scene he saw that day, and suddenly became alert.
I don't know if it's a coincidence or what, that day when the young man was shopping, he was bumped by an old woman, and he was angry at that time, and he didn't care about the old woman's repeated apologies, and yelled at the old woman , the people around pointed at him, but no one dared to step forward to uphold justice.Hughes happened to be nearby at the time and saw that scene, so he decided to teach the young man a lesson.
Later, after the young man left, he was playing with the emerald. Hughes thought it was his beloved and planned to steal it.
Unexpectedly, what he stole was a cursed gem, which not only made him wonder if that scene was specifically aimed at him.
"You were there, did anyone else know?" Owen asked.
"Yes." Xiustan said calmly: "I was finishing a tasting at that time, and the food in that restaurant was very ordinary, but the seasoning was rather special... Speaking of which, the seasoning they use is a bit similar to yours, but only The seasoning is not eligible for my appreciation."
"That is to say...you were predictable when you appeared there..." Julian tapped on the table lightly thinking. "Who invited you to taste that restaurant? Or... how do you know that the food in that restaurant tastes good?"
Hughes thought for a while and shook his head: "There is no problem with recommending that person to me. That restaurant has been famous in the imperial capital for a while. Even without my friend's recommendation, I would go there when I find time."
As a master of food appraisal, Hughes is very sensitive to any news related to delicacy, let alone a restaurant with a special flavor opened in the imperial capital, even if it is just a pancake at a small stall that tastes better, as long as he hears When I hear similar news, I will make a special trip.
"In other words, it should be relatively simple to design you." Julian thought.
Hughes couldn't help protesting: "It's not easy to design me." He is a seventh-level assassin, who can easily design him?
Julian chuckled, and Owen took out the emerald and threw it up, caught it, threw it up again, and caught it again.
Hughes: ...
Reasonable and undeniable. _(:з」∠)_
"Okay, it's better to destroy this kind of thing as soon as possible. Although it takes a long time to work, it will have a bad effect in a short time." Julian reached out and took the emerald.The golden crown inside was clamoring, clamoring to swallow the thing.
He was about to act when he suddenly paused.When the golden crown devoured the emeralds last time, he had lost a lot of face. Even if he was killed, he would never do it again in front of others.
He looked at Owen and Hughes faintly.
"Need me to dodge?" Although Hughes didn't understand why he was asked to dodge destroying a gemstone, he guessed that it might involve Julian's unique skills, so he jumped out of the window without thinking too much.
Julian continued to stare at Owen quietly.
The corner of Owen's mouth twitched: "I don't need it, I already knew what will happen after you devour it."
"So...you mean to see me humiliated once, and you want to watch it again?" Julian squinted at him.
Owen: ...All right, what can the lover do if he doesn't want to see his indecent side?Of course it is to indulge him!
Owen turned and left.
When the door was closed, Julian quickly arranged a magic circle in the room to ensure that any influence and sound were isolated, and then he released the golden crown, protected his hand with a little blood energy, and crushed the gem
The moment the gem shattered, a black shadow also emerged from it, and the holy light released by the golden crown suddenly surrounded the black shadow, and the black shadow could only hear a tragic cry, and fell in the holy light. melt into nothingness.
Bang!
A loud noise came from the room not far away. Before Julian had time to burp, he heard the sound of glass breaking and... the sound of the door being kicked open.
Don't think about it, Hughes must be the one who broke the glass. As for the one who kicked the door, he will not be the second person except Owen.
"Hic~~~" This time, it was still quite a long hiccup.
Julian was very thankful that no one could hear it this time but himself.
The feeling of fullness brought about by devouring the black shadow made him feel a little bloated, and he rubbed his stomach unconsciously... Well, it's still a flat six-pack abs, obviously the so-called bloating is a psychological effect.
"Psychological effect of wool." Ever since Golden Crown signed the contract with Julian, she has let herself go a little bit. It is usually not obvious when she is asleep, but when she wakes up, she speaks like a hooligan.
"It's not a psychological effect?" Julian took a few breaths and confirmed that there was no peculiar smell in his mouth. Then he removed the isolation magic circle, opened the door and walked from the corridor to the strange man's room.
The bang just now, and the two loud bangs that could not be ignored after that, obviously woke up most of the people in the hotel.
Those down-and-out aristocrats would definitely not come out to watch the excitement because of their identities. Only the unlucky servants were sent out to look up carefully from the stairs.
The owner of the hotel also came out. He was a skinny man. His gray hair made him look very old. If it wasn't for his youthful face, most people would have guessed that he was in his fifties.
"What... what's going on..." The boss probably climbed the stairs a little too fast, and he was out of breath when he spoke.
The young boy who came up with him was stunned when he saw Julian, and reflexively looked at the door of the strange guest.
The door of the room was wide open, and the fragments of the door were scattered on the ground, and the little boy actually showed an expression: Ah, it really is like that.
The corner of Julian's mouth twitched, and he always felt that he was carrying a big pot - although this matter did have something to do with him, it was really not his doing.
"Don't come in!" Owen's voice came from the room.
Julian stepped forward immediately, blocking all curious people out.
"What?" The boss was confused and wanted to go forward, but was firmly held by Julian, and he felt displeased immediately. "This is my hotel, what is going on with you?"
When Owen walked out of the room, his face sank like water.
Julian's heart sank, and he felt that the situation might not be good.
Owen sighed, showed his identity, and said to the hotel owner: "Go and contact the city guards, something happened inside."
"..." The innkeeper looked at him in shock, his lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't.
It was the young boy who was more clever, and pushed him hard, and then he came back to his senses in panic, and quickly said: "I'll go right away, Lord Paladin, can I trouble you not to leave?"
"Yeah." Owen nodded.
At this time, it was obvious that the title of the Knight Commander of the Church of the Holy Light was more reliable than a gourmet or a student of Harlan College, so he took the initiative to take over the matter.
"Ah! He's dead!" The group of servants who were sent out to investigate realized what had happened, and they couldn't help but screamed.
"Shut up!" Owen was irritated when he heard it, and he yelled angrily, which immediately made those people shut up.
His icy gaze swept over the group of people, and they were immediately frightened into silence.
"If something happens here, someone will come to investigate soon. If you know anything, you should tell the truth. Otherwise, if someone finds out, don't blame me for not reminding you in advance. This matter is very serious."
Owen's words are not aimless. In fact, many times, these people will conceal the information they know intentionally or unintentionally because of timidity, fear of trouble and other reasons.
It's fine if it's normal, and he won't force this group of people, but the things inside may be very troublesome now, if these people still hide it at this time, then there will be no follow-up investigation.
