Hearing her low voice, Angel's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he thought of something.
Vera is the king of darkness, the true uncrowned king of the underground neighborhood.
And Xia Diya is suspected to be from the underground neighborhood, maybe Vera really knows her information!
Although Angel was looking forward to Vera's next words, he showed no concern on the surface and just glanced at Vera: "Oh? Ms. Vera has heard of this name?"
Li Zi also turned to look at Vera full of surprise: "Sir, do you know Xia Diya?"
Vera looked at Angel, then at Vera, and finally her eyes were on Vera's face full of expectation: "Xiadia... I should have some impression of this name, but I can't think of it for a moment.
Where did you hear it?"
The light in Lizi's eyes dimmed slightly.
Seeing this, Vera was silent for a moment: "Wait a moment, let me think about it."
A glimmer of hope rose again on Lizi's expression, and she nodded quickly, not even daring to speak loudly for fear of disturbing Vera.
Vera summoned the magic book and turned to the page of the Eye of Clear Heart again.
As an extremely rare special-level monster, the Eye of Understanding naturally has more than just the ability to flow, it also has many auxiliary abilities. For example, it can purify the mind and assist the magician to enter the spiritual state.
"Lingsi" is a term used by fashion magicians, which means an explosion of inspiration.
Many fashion arts and cutting-edge trends are created by magicians in a state of spiritual thinking.
At this time, Vera relied on the power of mind purification to put herself into a state of spiritual thinking. Although spiritual thinking is the source of "inspiration burst", it can also be used to assist memory.
Moreover, Vera transformed her memory bank into a memory palace a long time ago to prevent herself from forgetting.
"Lingsi" is the key to opening the door to the palace of memory.
With the opening of the Memory Palace, Vera saw an illusory hall in a spiritual state, where all kinds of things were piled up.
Small fur quilt, teddy bear, seesaw, slide, school uniform, flower petals...
Every thing here carries a memory.
As long as she sees these things, Vera can instantly recall the corresponding memories, similar to associative memory.
For example, the tattered little fur quilt carries the memories of her childhood. This little fur quilt was the most important thing to her before she was ten years old. She must hold it in her hand every night when she sleeps. It belongs to her "Abebe"
”.
As soon as she saw the little fur quilt, she could think of the distant and innocent years...
Vera's spiritual thoughts continued to move forward in the hall of memory, her eyes swept over various things, and the corresponding memories entered her mind like running water.
After determining that it was of no use, it slowly flowed out again.
After a while, Vera's eyes were locked on an illusory girl in the memory hall.
This imaginary girl is a mutant, with a sideways eye growth between her eyebrows, but she doesn't look scary, but rather cool.
She is Vera's current assistant, named Aduo.
To be precise, it is the identity of the "King of Darkness" and the corresponding current assistant.
Occasionally, when Vera enters the underground neighborhood as the Lord of Darkness, Aduo will compile a report on the recent events of the round table and report it to Vera.
The things Aduo reported were usually major matters, or trivial matters that the Knights had not dealt with.
For the convenience of memory, Vera created the illusory image "A'duo" in the memory hall, and archived the various reports A'duo said into this illusory image.
Categorized into categories for easy access and use.
When Vera stood in front of A'duo, she felt her spiritual thoughts surging, and she immediately understood that the memories related to "Xiadia" should be here.
She looked at A'duo and thought deeply.
After a while, she slowly came back to her senses, her thoughts were withdrawn from the hall of memory, and her eyes slowly opened.
She stayed in the memory palace she built for more than ten minutes, but in fact, only a few seconds passed in the outside world.
When she opened her eyes, she could clearly see that Li Zi's dim eyes were shining again, staring at her expectantly.
To be honest, if Angel asked her to do this, she might still hesitate to use it to exchange benefits.
But if Lizi begs her, it doesn't matter if she tells her directly.
Besides, the information she found just now wasn't very important intelligence.
Thinking of this, Vera slowly said: "I remembered, when I went to the underground neighborhood before..."
Underground neighborhood? Lizi's eyes flashed with surprise that Lady Vera would actually go to the underground neighborhood.
Vera also noticed Lizzy's eyes while she was talking. Obviously, she didn't know her other identity, which also proved from the side that the relationship between Lizzy and Angel was not as deep as imagined.
Vera: "I occasionally go to the underground neighborhoods to find inspiration."
Vera just explained casually, but Lizzy believed her immediately.
Because inspiration for marginalized styles such as wasteland style, punk style, and apocalyptic style may not necessarily be found in surface cities; on the contrary, underground cities can cultivate such unique and niche styles.
"Once, when I went to the underground city, I met a young man in a homeless house who posted a missing person mission."
"He is looking for his missing sister. His sister's name is Sidaya."
Lizzy: "Sidaya?"
Vera nodded: "Yes, her name is Sidaya."
"But what we are looking for is Xia Diya?" Li Zi expressed confusion.
Vera: "If nothing unexpected happens, Sidaya is Xadia. For the specific situation, you might as well go to the wandering house and have a look. If the mission is still there..."
Although Li Zi was doubtful, she still nodded: "Okay."
At this time, Angel suddenly said: "Let me go, I happen to be in the underground neighborhood, and there happens to be homeless houses in this neighborhood."
Lizi was stunned and looked at Angel blankly: "Are you in the underground neighborhood? But aren't you...here now?"
Lizzy didn't react for a moment, but Vera snorted coldly: "Isn't it obvious? This is obviously not his true identity."
After Vera finished speaking, Angel did not refute, but let the color of his illusion body become slightly lighter, as if it had changed from a heavy color to a light and elegant one.
When Lizi saw this scene, she finally came to her senses. Angel did not come in person, but through an illusion.
No wonder Vera didn't order coffee for Angel from beginning to end.
When she was looking out the window, she thought Vera was deliberately taking advantage of Qiao. Now that she thought about it, Vera probably had already discovered that Angel was not his real body.
only……
Li Zi looked at Angel. Even if the illusion body was replaced with a "light and elegant" coating, it would still be very real.
Simply unbelievable.
What kind of fashion magic can create such a realistic illusion body?
Lizzy was surprised, but Vera's expression was very calm, because she knew very well that this was definitely not the effect of fashion magic, but probably... it was the legendary wizard's spell.
Angel did not explain much, but turned to look at Vera: "Today's conversation was very pleasant, so I won't stay any longer. If Ms. Vera needs to contact me for anything, you can ask Lizzy to help."
"Finally, I am very grateful to Ms. Vera for providing the information on Xia Diya. See you next time."
After finishing speaking, Angel's figure was like the mermaid that turned into foam in the fairy tale, and the whole person began to become illusory, and finally slowly disappeared.
Vera didn't speak during the whole process.
Although she wanted to say "never see you again" to Angel, considering the impact that these aliens might have had on Modern City, she finally restrained the urge to blurt out.
After Angel disappeared, Vera raised her head and looked at Lizzy.
"I don't know how you met him." Vera: "But I want to remind you to have less contact with people like them."
Seeing Li Zi bow her head and remain silent, Vera knew that her warning was in vain.
Vera thought for a while and then changed the subject: "You remember that you should have almost reached the bottleneck, right?"
There is no mistake, every song is published and every content is read one by one!
Li Zi nodded: "I'm stuck on the promotion task and I'm not ready yet."
Vera: "Okay, you can follow me during this period and I will give you guidance."
Li Zi was stunned and pointed at herself, somewhat in disbelief.
You know, Vera is the former president of the Fashion Guild! For such a big shot to personally give him guidance, what is the difference between this and a pie falling from the sky?!
"Yes, it just so happens that I have nothing to do recently, so I can give you some advice." Seeing that Lizzy still looked shocked, Vera added, "But I don't give you this advice for nothing."
"During this period, please act as my life assistant and help me with some small things."
"Why? Don't want to?"
Li Zi was still in a daze. When she heard Vera's inquiry, she nodded hurriedly: "Of course I am willing! But, it's just from the company..."
Vera: "I will tell Lily and ask her to let you go temporarily. Your position and authority will not change during this period."
When Li Zi heard this, she no longer struggled, and the joy in her eyes was almost visible to the naked eye.
Not to mention giving advice, even being Vera's assistant is a great reward for her. In the future, if she wants to continue to be promoted in the style guild system, there is only one person who has ever been Vera.
This experience as "assistant" is enough to outweigh the other achievements she has made.
What's more, Vera also helped solve the company's problems, and others took every aspect into consideration for her. It would be disrespectful for her to resist any longer.
Seeing Li Zi's nod, Vera also nodded with satisfaction.
"Now, as my assistant, the first thing I want you to do is to go to Prada Media Company."
Li Zi immediately put away her expression and said solemnly: "What specific aspects should be checked?"
Vera said softly: "If you think there is anything unusual in any aspect, report it to me."
Lizzy didn't know the inside story, but since this was her first job as Vera's assistant, she had to do it well.
"Go ahead."
Lizi nodded and quickly left the coffee shop.
When Vera was the only one left in the cafe, she looked through the window illuminated by warm light at the hazy sky outside.
The eyes are dark and unclear.
…
the other side.
Although Angel withdrew his illusion body, he was still looking at Lizzy from the perspective of God.
He also learned that Lizzy had been "acquired" by Vera, and began to investigate the matter of Prada Media.
Angel did not choose to stop it.
When he told Vera to do her best to protect the beauty pageant, he could predict that Vera would definitely investigate Prada Media.
Angel doesn't care about Vera's investigation.
The appearance of Gleipnir has broken the dilemma of Prada Media to a certain extent. What they do next, including the arrangements made to complete the main mission 3, the supplies recovered, and the magicians recruited, will definitely
Attract the attention of major organizations.
Therefore, it would attract attention, so what does it matter if Vera pays attention to it in advance?
What's more, Vera is now considered their "ally".
It doesn't hurt to let her find out.
Angel even wanted to tell Vera directly about some of Gleipnir's situation.
But then I thought about it, and compared to his straightforward confession, Vera would be more impressed if she had to investigate it herself.
Compared to these trivial matters, Angel was actually more concerned about the identity of "Xia Diya".
He didn't expect that after going round and round for so long on a mission to return the bones to their hometown, Li Zi didn't find many clues. Instead, she got key information from Vera.
This can be regarded as a clear sign.
Angel thought this as he rowed the boat to the shore, preparing to return to the Eighth Town from the underground lake and go to the homeless house there to ask about the situation.
After landing on the shore, Angel started walking along the lake shore towards the underground town.
Not long after walking, I heard a noise coming from the front.
A group of mutant children were running along the river, shouting for help as they ran.
Taking a closer look, I saw a woman who had fallen into the water. She was bobbing in the water. She was already unconscious and motionless. She was drifting down the river.
Because the river was turbulent, the group of children discovered that she had fallen into the water, but they did not dare to go into the water to save others, so they could only run and call for help.
When Angel saw this, he didn't think much. He stepped forward and secretly fished it out with his magic hand, and rescued the woman who fell into the water.
Amid the gratitude of the children around him, Angel did not leave his name, but slowly left.
However, the main body continued to the eighth town, but the illusion body in the underwater church opened its eyes.
Underwater church, outside the compartment door.
As soon as Angel came back to his senses, he heard Laplace's voice: "Have you finished dealing with your main body's affairs?"
Angel shook his head: "No, it's still a little bit close. But I just encountered something."
Laplace: "What?"
Angel specifically mentioned "encountering something", which was probably unreasonable. There should be a follow-up to this incident.
Angel: "I just met a woman who fell into the water..."
Angel recounted in a few words an episode he had just encountered.
After finishing speaking, when Laplace was thinking about what was so special about this matter, Angel changed the subject and said: "I originally thought that the woman was unconscious due to drowning, but when I rescued her and touched her...
It was only when she got into her body that she discovered that she was not drowning, but was being targeted by a fashion monster."
